A
(2016·郑州市第一次质检)There
is
a
very
instructive
incident
involving
the
life
of
Alexander
the
Great,
King
of
Greek.
Alexander,
after
conquering
many
kingdoms,
was
returning
home.
On
the
way,
he
fell
ill
and
it
took
him
to
his
death
bed.
With
death
staring
him
in
his
face,
Alexander
realized
his
conquests,
his
great
army,
his
sharp
sword
and
all
his
wealth
were
of
no
consequence.
So,
he
lay
helplessly
waiting
to
breathe
his
last.
He
called
his
generals
and
said,
“I
will
depart
from
this
world
soon,
and
I
have
three
wishes.
Please
carry
them
out
without
fail.”
“My
first
desire
is
that，”
said
Alexander,
“my
physicians
alone
must
carry
my
coffin.”
After
a
pause,
he
continued,
“Secondly,
I
desire
that
when
my
coffin
is
being
carried
to
the
grave,
the
path
leading
to
the
graveyard
be
strewn
(撒满)
with
gold,
silver
and
precious
stones
which
I
have
collected.”
The
King
continued,
“My
third
and
last
wish
is
that
both
my
hands
should
be
kept
hanging
out
of
my
coffin.”
Alexander's
favorite
general
kissed
his
hand
and
pressed
them
to
his
heart.
“Oh
King,
we
assure
you
that
your
wishes
will
all
be
fulfilled.
But
tell
us
why
do
you
make
such
strange
wishes？”
Alexander
took
a
deep
breath
and
said,
“I
would
like
the
world
to
know
of
the
three
lessons
I
have
just
learnt.
I
want
my
physicians
to
carry
my
coffin
because
people
should
realize
that
no
doctor
can
really
cure
any
bodies.
They
are
powerless
and
cannot
save
a
person
from
the
clutches
of
death.
So
let
people
not
take
life
for
granted.
“The
second
wish
of
strewing
gold,
silver
and
other
riches
on
the
way
to
the
graveyard
is
to
tell
people
that
not
even
a
bit
of
gold
will
come
with
me.
I
spent
all
my
life
earning
riches
but
cannot
take
anything
with
me.
Let
people
realize
that
it
is
just
a
waste
of
time
to
chase
wealth.
“And
about
my
third
wish
of
having
my
hands
hanging
out
of
the
coffin,
I
wish
people
to
know
that
I
came
empty handed
into
this
world
and
empty handed
out
of
this
world.”
With
these
words,
the
King
closed
his
eyes.
Soon
he
let
death
conquer
him
and
breathed
his
last.

B
(2016·石家庄二模)Spoiled
for
choice
That's
likely
how
you'll
feel
after
a
mere
day
in
Athens.
The
secret
is
in
not
trying
to
do
everything.
Instead,
take
in
a
couple
of
the
tourist
highlights
and
then
get
a
feel
for
this
attractive
capital.
An
ancient
sight
The
Acropolis
(卫城)
always
comes
out
at
the
top
of
the
list
of
things
to
see
in
Athens.
The
most
famous
of
the
western
world's
ancient
sights
continue
to
impress
tourists
as
they
climb
the
marble
steps
and
stand
before
the
graceful
Parthenon.
Views
from
up
here
are
amazing.
A
slow
wander
Plaka
is
the
city's
oldest
neighborhood,
resting
on
the
slopes
of
the
Acropolis
with
caf?s
and
fascinating
architecture.
The
streets
are
perfect
for
getting
lost
in,
giving
wanderers
the
chance
to
discover
caf?s
and
bars
where
they
can
down
some
strong
coffee
among
locals.
Plaka
is
at
its
best
in
the
early
evening.
Acropolis
House
Pension
is
a
preserved
19th century
house
that
gives
guests
a
glimpse
into
a
Greek
home.
A
market
scene
Varvakios
Agora
is
Athens'
central
market.
Locals
come
here
to
shop
and
look
for
everything
needed
in
a
Greek
kitchen
—
from
olive
oil
to
meat.
This
is
a
look
at
local
life
as
well
as
a
window
into
Greek
cuisine.
The
meat
market
is
also
home
to
some
of
the
city's
best
pubs,
feeding
traditional
food
to
crowds
of
customers
from
all
walks
of
society.
A
splash
of
nightlife
Athenian
nights
are
filled
with
music,
dancing
and
dining.
Perivoli
Tou
Ouranou
is
a
club
with
a
strong
atmosphere.
Filled
with
the
sounds
of
violins
and
guitars
pelting
out
traditional
blues like
music,
it's
sad
but
also
beautiful
and
lively.

(2016·贵阳市适应性监测考试)As
the
November
cold
begins
to
take
control
in
the
UK,
Bonfire
Night
(or
Guy
Fawkes
Night)
is
a
chance
to
wrap
up
in
winter
clothes
and
warm
up
by
the
fire.
Celebrated
on
November
5,
Guy
Fawkes
Night
has
been
part
of
British
history
since
1605,
when
Fawkes
was
found
trying
to
blow
up
parliament
(议会)
with
barrels
of
gunpowder.
Now,
it
is
traditional
for
Britons
to
make
a
fake
(假的)
“Guy”
every
year
from
old
clothes
and
burn
it
on
the
fire.
If
you
visit
a
small
town
in
the
southwest
of
the
country,
you
might
see
men
from
the
village
run
through
the
crowded
streets
with
huge
wooden
barrels
on
their
backs,
then
fill
them
with
tar
(焦油)
and
set
them
on
fire.
And
in
Lewes,
a
town
in
the
southern
English
county
of
Sussex,
different
groups
of
bonfire
societies
parade
(游行)
the
streets,
each
wearing
their
own
unique
outfits
and
carrying
a
giant
mascot
(吉祥物),
which
they
burn
at
their
own
bonfire
party
at
the
end
of
the
evening.
Bonfire
Night
is
also
a
time
for
“chili
con
carne”，
a
dish
made
from
slow cooked
beef
mince,
tomatoes,
kidney
beans,
onions,
and
spices.
It
is
often
served
on
top
of
a
hot
jacket
potato
with
butter
and
cheese.
It's
not
the
most
elegant
dish
in
the
world
but
it's
sure
to
warm
people
up
while
they
brave
the
cold
for
the
festivities.
But
for
many
Britons,
the
night
is
not
complete
without
“bonfire
treacle
toffee
(太妃糖)”，
which
is
also
known
as
“plot
toffee”，
named
after
Guy
Fawkes'
plot
to
blow
up
parliament.
The
toffee
is
rock
hard
and
is
often
broken
with
a
hammer
and
handed
out
to
guests.
Whether
it's
the
sound
of
fireworks
making
Britain
sound
like
a
war
zone,
the
hearty
winter
food,
or
the
excuse
to
light
a
huge
fire,
Bonfire
Night
has
something
for
everyone.
Just
watch
out
for
those
rockets!
