To most western people, Christmas Day finishes the year, although there are still a few days left after it.
In England, New Year’s Day is not a holiday. The English people have a two-day holiday at Christmas, but they do not have any holiday on New Year’s Day.

They sat before the fire talking and drinking. At five to twelve, they turned on the radio, and when Big Ben struck midnight, Jim said, “Lang may your lum reek (Long may your chimney smoke)!”
Then he gave Joe a little packet. Joe didn’t understand what Jim said, but when he opened the little packet, he found it was a piece of coal. Jim explained what he had said, “We hope you’ll have all you need this year-enough food and clothes, and that you’ll be warm enough.”

Italians are considered the most handsome men in the world while men who are balding（变秃）and aging do not necessarily lose their looks, according to an international survey.
A “Male Beauty” survey of nearly 10,000 men and women in 12 countries conducted by market research firm Synovate found that good hygiene（卫生）was actually the top requirement for men to being considered handsome.
The second main requirement to be considered good-looking was confidence, with nearly one fifth of all respondents saying a man must carry himself well, followed by having a “great smile”.
Hair, or a lack of, seemed to have little influence with only one percent of respondents saying that a full head of hair was needed to be handsome.
Older men can also take heart as 60 percent of respondents said a man’s appearance gets better with age, with Americans, Chinese, Greeks and Malaysians agreeing with that the most. “Men are seen like a fine wine—they only get better, which is good news for some of us,” Bob Michaels, Synovate spokesman, said in a statement.
But looks did also come down to geography. The survey, conducted in October in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Greece, Malaysia, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Britain and the United States, found Italian men were considered to be the most handsome—even though Italy was not in those countries surveyed. They were followed by men from the United States, Russian and Brazil.
In Spain, more men than women consider having muscles and dressing well to be necessarily requirements, while the opposite was true for Greek women, who were more likely to think a macho（男子气概的）look was appealing. Far more British, French and Australian women also seemed to value “a great smile” than men do.
48. How many respondents think hair is the necessary requirement for men?
A. 12.B. 100.C. 10,000.D. 60.
49. According to the survey, the underlined phrase “come down to” can be replaced by “ ”.
A. stand forB. equal toC. relate toD. go with
50. By saying “men are seen like a fine wine” means that“ ”.
A．men’s appearances get better as time goes by
B. men are almost addicted to a fine wine
C. drinking fine wine is often seen according to the survey
D. a fine wine can make men look better
51. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Synovate was one of the respondents from Italy.
B. Russian men were ranking the third place.
C. Having a great smile is the most important for Spanish men.
D. There are 12 countries surveyed, including Italy and Canada.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelad Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “ My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could not share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”
This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel The Beautiful and Damned(1922), a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age(1922), and a play the Vegetable(1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The Love of The Last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.

A. f-c-e-a-b-dB. b-e-a-f-c-dC. f-d-e-c-b-aD. b-f-c-d-e-a
