Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel (旅社). The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $25 a night, and for that, you’ll often get to stay in a central location (位置) with security and comfort.
Yellow Hostel
If I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome, it would be Yellow Hostel. It’s one of the best-rated hostels in the city, and for good reason. It’s affordable, and it’s got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy. As an added bonus, it’s close to the main train station.
Hostel Alessandro Palace
If you love social hostels, this is the best hostel for you in Rome. Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun. Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests like free shots, bar crawls and karaoke. There’s also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer.

If you’re looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel, look no further than Youth Station. It offers beautiful furnishings and beds. There are plenty of other benefits, too; it doesn’t charge city tax; it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms; it also has free Wi-Fi in every room.
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it’s close to all of the city’s main attractions.

When I was at the age of nine, my parents took us to the lake, 10 miles away, every day for a whole summer, me and my two brothers, Hap and Danny. To be honest, we were all a little too wild.
At that time, our car had only an outdated AM radio. A trip to the lake meant over an hour in the car, along with winding mountain roads where the AM radio could not pick up any signal. My parents must have figured out early that if they didn’t keep us three boys busy and focused, we would eventually start fighting just to have something to do. They made up various games. They told wonderful stories. He could even recite (背诵) “Casey at the Bat,” “The Raven,” “Dangerous Dan McGrew” or any of the other narrative poems at the drop of a hat.
One of the poems that fascinated me most was a bit of nonsense verse (打油诗) which I later found out was called “The Dying Fisherman’s Song.” It begins: “It was a summer’s day in winter / And the rain was snowing fast / As a barefoot girl with shoes on/ Stood sitting in the grass...” I was hooked. These lines in my head were kept repeating over and over, week after week, until they burned new electrical pathways in my brain.
I did what any 9-year-old poetry addict would do, given the circumstances: I read CRICKET magazine, hungrily. I was greatly influenced by their poems, and I am so thankful for what its publisher, Marianme Carus, did—creating such a perfect magazine for 9-year-olds. Yes, I fell in love with funny children’s poetry. It’s a love affair that continues to this day, 10 books related with poetry (of my own) later.
4. What can we say about the author’s parents
A. They were hard on their sons. B. They knew their children well.
C. They were famous game makers. D. They focused on adventure education.
5. What might the underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Shocked. B. Scared. C. Attracted. D. Confused.
6. What does the author think of CRICKET magazine
A. It made him a child poet. B. It was intended for young poets.
C. It had a significant impact on him. D. It was Marianme Carus’s first book.
7. Why does the author write this passage
A. To introduce a poetry addict. B. To show off his creation talent.
C. To recommend some funny poetry. D. To share his passion for poetry.
Exilien is a bayakou, the Haitian term for laborers who empty latrines (粪坑). I took his photo while he was cleaning out a toilet that served several families in Port-au-Prince. I’d been assigned to photograph a National Geographic story.
People dislike bayakou. Therefore, many bayakou operato at night and hide what they do—even from their families. Finding a bayakou who would agree to be photographed proved to be the most difficult part of this project. But after five months of trying, I connected with Exilien. He was eager for me to document his work because he rejects the idea that his profession is shameful. He is proud of what he does and wants to be respected.
I arranged to meet Exilien and his two colleagues late at night in a courtyard between several houses. My photo editor had been concerned about the conditions so I’d packed protective equipment: face mask and scarf (to block the smell) as well as rain coat (to protect my clothes). But when it came time to put it all on, I found I couldn’t do it. I didn’t want to make him feel like his job was extremely unpleasant. It’s his profession, something only a few people know how to do, and he does it well.
Most of the lights in the courtyard were out, and the families were asleep. The toilet in the our house hadn’t been emptied in more than a year. Exilien began his work by reaching into the hole to spoon out the freshest layer. His two partners skillfully pour the waste into what looked like old seed bags, tying them up perfectly without any leaks. They had more experience than Exilien and had graduated from cleaning the hole. In order to bear the smell and discomfort, the three men drank and smoked throughout the night.
Exilien wanted people to see what he does. No one wants to be invisible. That’s what I find so powerful about photography. When you take someone’s picture, you are telling them: Your life is important.
8. Why did Exilien agree to be photographed
A. He wanted to get famous. B. He hoped to be recognized.
C. He could gain some rewards. D. He felt ashamed of himself.
9. What did the author decide to do about his protective equipment
A. Stop using it. B. Take good advantage of it.
C. Keep it for next time. D. Donate it to the three men.
10. What can we infer about Exilien’s partners
A. They worked harder than before. B. They were addicted to alcohol.
C. They were more skillful than him. D. They just finished higher education.
11. What is the author’s final attitude towards a bayakou
A. Indifferent. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Respectful.
By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
12. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
13. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
14. What does Titterton need to practise
A Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
15. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”
A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.

My Gift to Charlie
We moved to a new small town when I was six. Having moved to the United States from the Far East, I was not accepted by children (even children of my own community did not accept me as I had lighter skin than the others). School was spent walking the playground alone or sitting on the grass bank watching other boys play football. On bad days I would hide in the cloakroom (衣帽间) under the coats and remain there the whole day.
It was one day that I by chance met an old man named Charlie, who lived six houses away. I stood on the street side of the fence and watched as he busied himself in the garden. Charlie was a short quiet old man in his 60s He had a bald head with brown hair on the sides and a round rosy face. He always wore gold-colored glasses easily recognized his walk as he’d collect his morning paper and milk.
I did not speak to him for a long time but instead stood at the fence as he did his thing. He did not speak to me, but waited patiently for me to break the silence when ready. This continued for months. After school and at weekends, I just stood and watched him. He would sometimes look up and show me the cause of his joys or pains; it might be a carrot, or a handful of weeds. After several months I found a biscuit placed on the fence post on a small blue plate. Later, weak orange cool drink was added to this when it was hot. Charlie started to speak to me and would share stories from his past as if I was his closest friend I offered very little in return and absorbed all that he said. I was grateful for the time that I spent listening to him.

【答案】Dear Eric,
I'm very glad to hear that you're interested in the 100th anniversary of our school. Now let me give a brief introduction of it.
Many of our alumni will be invited to attend the anniversary. During the celebration activities, some of them will make speeches about their academic achievements and their learning experience. They will also give us some guidance on how to arouse our interest and make a decision on our career. We will take part in a party in the evening, where the programs are all performed by the schoolmates.
I sincerely invite you to watch the live streaming.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

【47题答案】
【答案】Four years later I left the small town, but our last chat at his house and his gift for me always remain in my mind. When I was 11, we left, and the last time we talked, he went into his room, and he came out with an old watch. He gave me the watch as a gift and said he didn’t want me to leave, and we hit it off. I'm his closest friend. I don't want to part with him. It was the old man who gave me encouragement and comfort during my most difficult time and made me go through the most difficult time. He's the person I respect the most in a foreign country. I’ll see him again.
Fortunately, when I was 15, I came across Charlie’s wife, Mary, who told me something about him. I was sad to hear Charlie’s passing. I learnt that he often spoke thankfully of those years when the small Asian boy would just stand and watch. I thought I got everything from that friendship but returned nothing of any value; Mary disagreed. She told me that I gave the greatest thing that I could to Charlie, which was my time, and that was why he gave me his watch.
