About personal security, avoid walking alone late at night, especially females. Avoid dark streets, and try to stick to the well-lit areas whenever possibleAlso if you know you are going to be out late, make sure you’ve got enough money for a taxi to get home, or arrange to stay with friends for the nightThe university actually offers free self-defense classesI hope it’s something you’d never have to use, but it is certainly worth having such classes.

It’s a real story happened in London. As one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road. Our story begins here.
Mr Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.
At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didn’t stop at that crossing. ”
“But the sign there doesn’t say ‘STOP’. ” answered Mr Williams, “It just says ‘SLOW’, and I did go slow. ”
The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched his head and said, “Well, I’m in the wrong street! ”

The exhibition, which opened on May 11 and will continue until Oct. 20, is part of the city’s effort to create a centre of Chinese culture. Belgian Princess Mathilde formally announced the beginning of the exhibition, titled “China’s Golden Age: Treasures from the Tang Dynasty”.
The items, including gold plates and silver wares for royal families, Tang Dynasty tri-colour glazed figurines (小雕像) of women and paintings, have recently been on exhibit in the Dutch city of Assert.
All of the exhibited items are from Shaanxi Province, China. Its provincial capital Xi’an was the most populous (人口多的)city in the world and once the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang period is generally regarded as a high point in Chinese civilisation— equal to, or better than that of the earlier Han Dynasty (202 BCE—220 CE), a golden age of Chinese culture.
Several years ago, said Dirk Verlaak, vice-mayor of Maaseik, his city and Assen teamed up to host history and culture exhibitions of China’s first two imperial dynasties, the Qin (221 BCE—206 BCE) and the Han. The Chinese relics and treasures attracted 350, 000 visitors in Assen and 190, 000 in Maaseik.

One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel . By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, “I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.
With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time . After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake . To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snow capped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Tom! ” she cried. “Help! ”
No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落)somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above.

She felt tired both physically and mentally. But she kept on walking forward because she really wanted to meet Tom as soon as possible. She walked slowly in darkness. Following the stream for about two hours, Jane couldn’t support herself, so she found a flat ground to spend the long and hard night.

It’s a real story happened in London. As one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road. Our story begins here.
Mr Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.
At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didn’t stop at that crossing. ”
“But the sign there doesn’t say ‘STOP’. ” answered Mr Williams, “It just says ‘SLOW’, and I did go slow. ”
The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched his head and said, “Well, I’m in the wrong street! ”
24. Mr Williams was driving ______one evening.
A. to a party B. to his office
C. home after work D. to work from home
25. When he was stopped by a policeman, he ______.
A. was driving at a high speed
B. was driving onto the main road
C. was going to stop his car
D. was driving slowly
26. Though slowly, Mr Williams continued driving at the crossing because ______.
A. he didn’t see anything coming along the main road
B. he paid no attention to the traffic rules

D. he was eager to get home
27. Looking around Mr Williams, the policeman was surprised because ______.
A. he met a mad man
B. he realized that he himself was mistaken
C. Mr Williams dared to speak to him like that
D. Mr Williams would not apologize to him

Maaseik, a city in Belgium, has opened an exhibition of about 200 relics and treasures of the Tang Dynasty (618 CE-907 CE), showing China’s golden age of ancient civilisation (文明).
The exhibition, which opened on May 11 and will continue until Oct. 20, is part of the city’s effort to create a centre of Chinese culture. Belgian Princess Mathilde formally announced the beginning of the exhibition, titled “China’s Golden Age: Treasures from the Tang Dynasty”.
The items, including gold plates and silver wares for royal families, Tang Dynasty tri-colour glazed figurines (小雕像) of women and paintings, have recently been on exhibit in the Dutch city of Assert.
All of the exhibited items are from Shaanxi Province, China. Its provincial capital Xi’an was the most populous (人口多的)city in the world and once the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang period is generally regarded as a high point in Chinese civilisation— equal to, or better than that of the earlier Han Dynasty (202 BCE—220 CE), a golden age of Chinese culture.
Several years ago, said Dirk Verlaak, vice-mayor of Maaseik, his city and Assen teamed up to host history and culture exhibitions of China’s first two imperial dynasties, the Qin (221 BCE—206 BCE) and the Han. The Chinese relics and treasures attracted 350, 000 visitors in Assen and 190, 000 in Maaseik.
“Westerners don’t know much about China’s ancient civilisation and history, and we hope the new exhibition in Maaseik can attract more visitors, ” said Verlaak.
28. Maaseik held the exhibition in order to ______.
A. make money B. educate people
C. attract foreign visitors D. spread Chinese culture
29. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. Dirk Verlaak is interested in Chinese history.
B. All the items in the exhibition are from China.
C. Assert attracted more visitors than Maaseik several years ago.
D. This is the first time that Maaseik has held such an exhibition.
30. What’s Dirk Verlaak’s attitude toward the exhibition
A. Doubtful. B. Consent.
C. Worried. D. Excited
31. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Tang Dynasty Treasures Exhibited in Belgium
B. Tang Dynasty Treasures Discovered in Belgium
C. Chinese Culture Goes Around the World
D. Chinese Civilisation Attracts Foreigners
