People in South Korea who feel they can no longer bear the stress of everyday life now can choose to stay in a prison to relax and think deeply.
In a society where pressure to do well in school and find highly-paid jobs is intense, a former lawyer came up with an extreme relaxation idea. Kwon Yong-seok created the “Prison Inside Me”—a stress-reduction center with a punishment theme. People come here to cut themselves off from the outside world and pay to be kept in 60-square-foot (5.6-square-meter) cells (囚室).
Located on the outskirts of Hongcheon, about 58 miles (93 km) northeast of Seoul, “Prison Inside Me” came to life after Mr. Kwon voluntarily asked to spend time behind bars for “healing reasons” , but his request was turned down. “I didn’t know how to stop working back then,” he said. “I felt like I was being swept away against my will, and it seemed I couldn’t control my own life.” So, Kwon and his wife Roh Ji-hyang decided to take matters into their own hands, and designed and built a prison-like spiritual center. The construction was completed in June last year and cost about 2 billion won ($19 million).
The facility includes 28 cells, furnished with only a toilet, a sink and a small table, where guests can spend time alone, thinking about life and enjoying private thinking periods. Moreover, guests can also join group thinking periods in the hall, where they are given instructions on how to free themselves from what Mr. Kwon calls the “inner prison” to find inner peace.
According to the Wall Street Journal, hundreds of stressed South Koreans are checking in at the stress-reduction facility to think about their lives and regain control of it. A two-night stay at “Prison Inside Me” costs 150,000 won ($146).
Mr. Kwon and his wife explained that at the beginning they had a different plan for the “relaxation center,” and imagined a longer stay for their guests, but, given that people weren’t able to take more time off, they had to reduce the length of stays to just two days.
Park Woo-sub, a guest at “Prison Inside Me” , said the experience helped him a lot. “This is my third time in prison. Being kept in a prison makes me hard to breathe, but it also offers time to focus only on me and spend some quiet time with myself.”
Others said the experience would have been more helpful if the conditions had been poorer, like in a real prison.
24.Paragraph 3 mainly tells us _______________.
A.where “Prison Inside Me” is located
B.what people can do in “Prison Inside Me”
C.when “Prison Inside Me” was completed
D.how “Prison Inside Me” came into existence

D.The 28 cells are well furnished, but with no toilets in them.
26.We can know from the passage that _______________.
A.many people have been kept in such a prison at least three times
B.some still felt a bit unsatisfied as the conditions weren’t poor enough
C.people find it not difficult to breathe though the prison is small
D.it is not a good idea for people to focus only on themselves
27.What is the main idea of the passage?

C
“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.
There have been many men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhood, and no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few. They could not depend upon themselves for an education. They saw how it was and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way till they became well known.
One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I can’t make worthy men of you, but I can help make men of yourself.
Some young men don't try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings. They can never gain achievement unless they see their weak points and change their course. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.
28.Which of the following titles fits this article best?
A.What Nature Says to Every Man B. How to Be Famous
C. Rely on Yourself D.Men Must Help Each Other
29.Many of the great men succeeded because .
A.they wanted to become well-known
B.they received a good education
C.they made great efforts to learn and work
D.they had rich parents
30.If young people depend on their own efforts, ______.
A.they are sure to be very famous in the world
B.they no longer need any help
C.they can live without their families
D.they can be successful in their lives
31.From this article we can learn the writer ________.
A.sings highly praise for parents and teachers
B.is a man of strong character
C.thinks highly of those who are struggling for success
D.feels it necessary to accept everyone’s advice
D
When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.
It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.
“Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint. ”She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes ( 条纹) of colors across the pavement. Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!
The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother’s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.
My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, “What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors' trees, but this! Come inside right now ” I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art.
“Now go clean it up! ”Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement(水泥).
Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.
32.What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?
A.To introduce Stephanie to her.
B.To prevent her from seeing his painting.
C.To show his artwork to her.
D.To put the materials back in the yard.
33.In his mother's eyes, the writer _____________.
A.was a born artist
B.worked very hard
C.was a problem solver
D.was always a trouble maker
34.The underlined word “rainbow”in the last paragraph refers to _____________.

C.the rainbow in the sky
D.important lessons learned in childhood
35.It can be learned from the passage that parents should______________?.

C.protect rather than destroy children's dreams
D.discover the hidden talent in children

I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping.
