18、epresent a more modern, forward-looking nation.Nigel Baker, the British ambassador to Bolivia, believes that the royal wedding is “about modern Britain”. “The estimated 2 billion spectators across the world will see that Britain is one of the most culturally and ethnically diverse nations in the wor
19、ld, home to 270 nationalities speaking 300 different languages, founded on tolerance and respect for difference,” wrote Baker on his blog.According to Baker, the wedding could help viewers to see “why Britain is one of the most dynamic and creative countries in the world”: The television on which mo
20、st people watched the event was invented by John Logie Baird, a Briton, and the World Wide Web that broadcast the event to millions more was invented by another Briton, Tim Berners-Lee.The guests who attended the wedding ceremony gave more than a few clues as to the nature of modern Britain. David a
21、nd Victoria Beckham represent Britains obsession (着迷)with football and celebrity.Leaders from different religious backgrounds supported Bakers comments on the multicultural nature of modern British society.Before the wedding, David Elliott, arts director of the British Council China, agreed that the
22、 wedding would be a showcase for modern Britain: “I think, and hope, that it (modern British influence) would be values like openness, multiculturalism, creativity, sense of humor and the traditional British sense of fair play,” he said.Furthermore, events such as the Olympics in London in 2012 may
23、also increase peoples sense of Britishness.According to a poll published in Daily Telegraph, more than a third of people in the UK admitted they felt “very British” when watching the Olympics.51.

28、adults need to write much of anything by hand. Thats a big problem. Study after study suggests that handwriting is important for brain development helping kids get fine motor skills and learn to express and create ideas. Yet the time devoted to teaching penmanship in most schools has shrunk to just
29、one hour a week. Is it time to give up handwriting? Have a look at the link between the brain and penmanship, and you may get the answer. A test among students in grades 2, 4 and 6 found that they not only wrote faster by hand than by keyboard, but also created more ideas when composing essays with
30、handwriting. And other research shows that the finger movements required to write by hand activate brain areas involved with thought, language, and short-term memory. A recent Indiana University study had one group of children practice writing letters by hand while a second group just looked at thos
31、e letters. Then, both groups of kids entered a functional MRI (核磁共振)that scanned their brains as the researchers showed them the same letters. Researchers found that the brain activity in the first group was far more advanced and “adult-like”. Handwriting also affects other peoples way they think of
32、 adults and children. Several studies have shown that the same average essay will score much higher if written with good penmanship and much lower if written out in poor handwriting. These studies have also found that people judge the quality of a persons ideas based on his or her handwriting. And t
33、he consequences are real: On standardized tests with handwritten sections, like the SAT, all essay that is considered hard to recognize gets a big zero. Studies show that this isnt only an English-language phenomenon. Chinese and Japanese youths are suffering from “character amnesia”. They cant reme
34、mber how to write characters, thanks to computers and text messaging. Some experts fear that Chinese writing and reading are so closely linked in the brain that Chinas reading ability as a nation could suffer.55. What does the Indiana University study imply?A. Children should practice writing letter
35、s B. Handwriting can increase brain activityC. Its good for children to enter a functional MRI. D. Letters should often be shown to children56. What does the 4th paragraph mainly talk about?A. Handwriting affects both adults and children. B. Handwriting helps a person write better essays.C.SAT shoul
36、d be done with good handwriting. D. Good handwriting makes a person seem smarter.57. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Essays written with keyboards will get lower scores.B. The quality of your ideas depends on your handwriting.C. Chinese and Japanese youths dont know how to write.D. Les
37、s handwriting may affect Chinas reading ability.58. The passage tries to tell us that _.A. keyboards are more popular than handwriting B. we shouldnt judge people by their handwritingC. handwriting is of great importance D. its time to give up using keyboards C There were red faces at one of Britain
38、s biggest banks recently. They had accepted a telephone order to buy 100,000 worth of shares from a 15-year-old schoolboy (they thought he was 21). The shares fell in value and the schoolboy was unable to pay up. The bank lost 20,000 on the deal which it cannot get back, because, for one thing, the
39、young boy does not have the money, for another, being under 18, he is not legally liable for his debts. If the shares had risen in value by the same amount that they fell, he would have pocketed 20,000 profit. It certainly is better than delivering the morning newspaper. In another case, a boy of 14
40、 found, in his grandmothers house, a suitcase full of foreign banknotes. But they were now not used in their country of origin or anywhere else. This young boy headed straight to the nearest bank with his pockets filled with notes. The cashiers did not realize the country in question had reduced the
41、 value of its currency by 90%. They exchanged the notes at their face value at the current exchange rate. In three days, before he was found out, he took 200,000 from nine different banks. Amazingly, he had already spent more than half of this before the police caught up with him. Because he is also
42、 under 18 the banks have kissed goodbye to a lot of money, and several cashiers have lost their jobs.Should we admire these youngsters for being enterprising and showing initiative or condemn them for their dishonesty? Maybe they had managed for years with tiny amounts of pocket money that they got
43、from tight-fisted parents. Maybe they had done Saturday jobs for peanuts. It is hardly surprising, given the expensive things that young people want to buy, such as fashionable running shoes and computer games, if they sometimes think up more imaginative ways of making money than delivering newspape
44、rs. These youngsters saw the chance to make a lot of money and took it. Another recent story which should give us food for thought is the case of the man who paid his six-year-old daughter300 a week pocket money. He then charged her for the food she ate a few coins for her piggy bank（存钱灌）“She will s
45、oon learn the value of money, ” he said. “Theres no such thing as a free lunch. Everything has to be paid for and the sooner she learns that the better.” At the other extreme there are fond parents who provide free bed and board for their grown-up children, While even the most hard-hearted parents m
46、ight hesitate to throw their children out on the streets, we all know of people in their twenties who still shamelessly live off their parents. Surely there comes a time when everyone has to leave the parental nest, look after themselves and pay their own way in life. But when is it?59. Recently one of Britains biggest banks _. A. bought a lot of shares for a customer and brought him a great loss B. lost money as its young customer had no money to pay his debts C. lost much money because the shares they bought fell in value D. received a telephone order to buy shares for a 21-year
