I asked a lady from Ohio why she had come. For Shakespeare, she said. Isn’t that why you cameNot entirely, I said. I was born here. I’m visiting my family. You were born here She said, as if only Shakespeare had the right.It was my first time home in many years. Long ago I had emigrated to America. Now I was visiting places in which I had taken little interest before: the birthplace, for example. I had passed it perhaps a hundred times without a thought of going in. Now it would cost me just under two pounds, about $ 3. But an even stranger experience was buying a ticket to the school two members of my family had entered. Shakespeare had gone there 350 years before. It was a good school, but I was fortunate to have been sent to a better one. Better than Shakespeare’s Asked an American to whom I had confided. I don’t see how that could be possible, he had muttered before turning away.I had taken Shakespeare for granted. However, in my current tourist status, that would have to be changed. Respect was called for. I must learn to refer to him as the Bard, and not as Will in the familiar way, and never a Willie-the Shake, which is an inelegant but customary nickname for some of the younger generation.This was no problem. Shakespeare worship had been made earlier than my day. Every building with Shakespeare connections was preserved. An inclusive ticket enabled holders to see them all. When several Americans whom I had run into asked me to show them around, I readily agreed.Where did most of the pilgrims the speaker met come from（）A. From USA.B. From Europe.C. From Ohio.D. From his hometown.22.Bows and arrows, are one of man’s oldest weapons. They gave early man an effective weapon to kill his enemies. The ordinary bow or short bow is used by nearly all early people. This bow had limited power and short range. However, man overcame these faults by learning to track his targets at a close range. The long bow was most likely discovered when someone found out that a five-foot piece of wood made a better bow than a three-foot piece. Hundreds of thousands of these bows were made and used for three hundred years. However, no one is known to survive today. We believe that a force of about one hundred pounds was needed to pull back the string all the way back on a long bow. For a long time the bow was just a bent stick and string. In fact, more changes have taken place in a bow in the past 25 years than in the last centuries. Today, the bow is forceful. It is as exact as a gun. In addition, it requires little strength to draw the string. Modern bows also have precise aiming devices. In indoor contest, perfect scores from 40 yards are common. The invention of the bows itself ranks with discovery of fire and the wheel. It was a great-step-forward for man.Why did man have to track his target at a close range when using a short bow（）A. Because it was too heavy.B. Because it did not bend easily.C. Because it did not shoot far.D. Because its string was short.23.W: Excuse me, sir, but aren’t you Mr. Robertson from AustraliaM: Yes, I am.W: How do you do, Mr. Robertson Welcome to Beijing!M: How do you doW: I’m Lily from Beijing.M: Oh, it’s great to meet you, Miss Lily.W: I’m also glad to meet you.

Coined. Pepsi, Frito Lay and Tropicana account for 11 billion in retail sales at supermarkets - hefty numbers that Coke can’t match. We represent up to 13% of their profits, says PepsiCo’s new senior vice president for sales and marketing, AI Carey. Last month Carey accompanied Enrico and the presidents of Pepsi, Prito and Tropicana on a historic first joint call on a major retailer to remind the customer of those figures.For Enrico, the reengineering of PepsiCo could be the crowning achievement of a career filled with magic acts. The 54-year-old chairman started as an associate product manager for Frito Lay and became president of Pepsi Cola at 39. In the 1980s he became famous as the cola warrior who beat Coke and bragged about it. As its president in the 1990s, he rejuvenated Frito Lay. Then he turned around the restaurant division before deciding it was too expensive to keep. Nobody can bull Roger, because he knows every one of our businesses clearly, says Indra Nooyi, the company’s chief strategist. Enrico has spent a long time picking these businesses apart and relearning them, in order to completely reshape them.What Enrico discovered was that forging a new PepsiCo meant changing a corporate oulture that was in love with itself. Pepsi has always attracted some of America’s hottest executive talent, and it let these managers run their businesses. In a world where scale matters, such freedom has a price. Frankly, we had a long-standing culture of autonomous business units, says Frito Lay chief executive officer Steve Reinemund. So while managers were ricocheting off each other in search of their next promotion, or chasing new restaurant chains or joint ventures in far flung parts of the world, Coke stuck with the game it knew, steadily increasing the stakes along the way with billions of dollars of investment in soft drinks, nothing else. The bet had been made, and we didn’t raise or call it. says Enrico. We didn’t even play.According to the first paragraph of the passage, we can infer that（）A. fire breaks out often in potato chipsB. salty food encourages the sale of colaC. it is not easy to make a purchase before thinking carefullyD. being thirsty is the only reason for buying cola26.W: Will you join us later for the card game M: I have to catch up on the lessons I missed.What will the man do（）A.
