According to a recent survey carried out by The Economist(经济学家) magazine, Ireland is by far and away the best country in the world to live in.
Once Ireland joined the EU in 1973, the base for economic growth started to be put into place. The 1990s saw the economic growth finally arrive-a total change in Ireland's economic fortunes was born. The country experienced year-on-year growth of almost ten per cent and now has the fourth-highest GDP per head in the world—a massive 36.5 thousand dollars per person. Coupled with this has been a huge drop in unemployment(失业率) from 20 per cent15 years ago to around four per cent today, all of which has meant Dublin's newspapers now come with larger job sections and the country is looking to import up to 300 thousand new workers in the next few years.
In many ways, Ireland is the perfect advertisement(广告)for the policies of the IMF and the World Bank as it is one of the few economies that has opened itself up to free trade, foreign investment(投资) and unregulated business activity, cut welfare(福利) spending and checked wage(工资) increases and yet still managed to grow rapidly.
24. When did Ireland join the EU
A. In 1990. B. In 1973. C. In 1991. D. In 1974.
25. What can we learn from the text
A. Business activity is regulated in Ireland.
B. Dublin's newspapers now come with smaller job sections.
C. Ireland is the bad advertisement for the policies of the IMF.
D. Ireland will import up to 300 thousand new workers in the future.
26. What does the underlined word "it" refer to
A. Free trade. B. The advertisement.
C. The World Bank. D. Ireland.
27. What section of a newspaper is the passage probably taken from
A. Technology. B. Education. C. Economy. D. Nature.
C

As time goes on, people have come to realize the importance of protecting the environment. But they can’t deal with everything by themselves. Take small steps, and you can make a difference.
● Think Green. Think about the environment as you live your life.If you turn off lights and TV when leaving the room, you’ll save energy. If you take shorter showers, you will save water.
● Shop Green. Shopping is fun, but buying things you don’t need is wasteful and even bad for the earth. Before you buy something, ask yourself how much you will use it, and whenever possible, buy things locally made instead of those shipped from far away.
● Dress Green. What really matters is not the colour. It's how the clothes were made. So look for products made from environmentally friendly(环保的) materials.
● Study Green. What’s better than learning about the environment Save it while you learn. It can be as simple as using both sides of a piece of paper before you recycle it.
32.What does the writer want us to do

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how she was going.
The woman looked down, shook her head and said: “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is , I don’t know how we are going to get through the holidays.” Then she gave the cashier food stamps.(食品券).
Neither did I know how I could get through the days a year ago during my fresh year in the company. I didn’t know the rules, I was not familiar with the work, and I couldn’t feel the value of myself. I was even wondering whether I could get along, as my father was gone, my mother had no work and my brother was only 7. That feeling was exactly what the woman had said. Fortunately, things had changed since I received my colleague’s card, from which I felt the encouragement, and sensed happiness falling upon me again.
So I really wanted to help, but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for her groceries(杂货), or ask for her husband’s resume(简历) As I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart. Suddenly I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her. It wasn’t a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better.
Then I approached the woman. My heart pounded as this was the first time that I had come up with the idea to help a stranger.
“Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit. “ I couldn’t help accidentally hearing what you said to the cashier. It sounded like you’re going through a really hard time now. I’m so sorry. I’d like to give you something.”
I handed her the small card from my purse.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
Paragraph 1
When the woman read the card, she began to cry. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2
After we embraced, I walked back to my car and words on the card crowded into my mind again.

写作第二节：
When the woman read the card, she began to cry. She dumped out all those difficulties, sobbing about the husband who was out of job and the son who was as fickle as fortune. As a matter of fact, she couldn’t restrained herself at all. After venting her emotions, she held my hands tightly and thanked me out of turn. She explained that without my card, she wouldn’t have seen herself, not even had the hope for the future. I was at a stand and didn’t know what reaction I might give since I’ve never come across this before. All I could think about was: “Would it be OK to give you a hug ”
After we embraced, I walked back to my car and words on the card crowded into my mind again. “You matter.” Saying the sentence to myself, I feel a warm glow spreading inside me. It reminded me of my colleague’s encouragement and told me I was not alone. That happened again upon the strange woman through the experience, which also gave me far more happiness and fulfillment. Since then I’ve decided to prepare more cards, as happiness is one thing that really deserves to be passed on from one to another.
