四、阅读理解（20小题，每小题2分，共40分）
A
A city in South Korea has added a new attraction to its cultural landscape(景观)—the world’s first “Toilet Theme Park”. The Restroom Cultural Park in the city of Suwon is proving a huge hit with locals and tourists alike.
The park was built to memorize the former city mayor Sim Jae-duck, known as “Mr Toilet”. He believed the toilet is a very important place and full of culture. Visitors to the park can enjoy its toilet- bowl- shaped exhibition hall as well as lots of bronze statues(铜像) in all kinds of toilet positions. They can even sit on Mr Kim’s original toilet, which includes a full-length glass door that mists(蒙上薄雾) up when it is being used.
Suwon has become well known because of the promotion(宣传) of toilet culture. The city attracts toilet- related artwork from around the world to its galleries. It famously hosts the Golden Poop Art Festival- a celebration of one of the calls of nature. The city also lists lots of its own public toilets as tourist attractions on its website. Sim Jae-duck’s toilet-shaped house, now a museum, should be the must-see for enthusiasts. It’s said that Mr Sim was born in the loo of his mother’s house, so he loved toilets very much. He said in 2007, “The toilet can save humankind from diseases and is a place for introspection(反省). The toilet is also a central living place that has culture.”
46. What’s the theme park’s name
A. Restroom Park B. Toilet World
C. The Restroom Cultural Park D. The Park of World Toilets.
47. What was the nickname(绰号) of Sim Jae-duck
A. Captain Lavatory B. Mr Toilet C. Bathroom Bill D. Number Two
48. What happens to Sim Jae-duck’s toilet when someone uses it

C. The water comes out. D. Its glass door fogs up.
49. Where do reports say Sim Jae-duck was born
A. In a toilet- shaped bed. B. In the WC of his mother’s house.

What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life Somebody mentions hardwork, 66 suggest knowledge, love and luck. If you arrange (排列) the 26 English letters in order and use 67 to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c… 26 for z, you can change an English word 68 a number. So hardwork becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark. Knowledge: 11+ 14+ 15+ 23+ 12+ 5+ 4 + 7+ 5=96, love: 12+15+22+5=54, and 69 : 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. 70 of these words can give one a full mark. What about money It can’t, either.
Then what else Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer 71 a problem in your life, when you change your way of 72 at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度). Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100, a full mark. Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most time people hope for a better life. It is possible that they will have a better life 73 they change their attitudes. When you change your manner and become 74 towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude towards 75 , you’ll find it’s also rewarding(有益的) though it has caused you losses(损失).
