In the 1970s, with ever-increasing international travel and tourism, the United States Department of Transportation decided to design a set of symbols(符号)for airports, stations, and public facilities(设施). The aim was to design symbols that would be clear to people in a hurry and to those who can not read English. Therefore, the set of symbols shown below was designed. Then the designers planned an experiment with an international sample(抽样调查) of 8-year-old children from Sweden. Japan, France, Canada, and Britain. The purpose of the experiment was to determine how clear the symbols would be to the children, who were not experienced international travelers.
The children were shown the set of sample symbols, and were then asked to explain to the experimenters what the symbols meant. The researchers thought that if the international sample of children could understand them, the grown-up travelers would probably also recognize their meanings. The following graph(图表) shows the percentages of correctly explained symbols.
The experiments discovered that most of the children easily understand the telephone receiver and cigarette symbols. However, there were some interesting differences in their answers to the other four symbols. The Japanese children most easily understood the symbol standing for“coffee shop”. The experimenters thought that this fact showed children in Japan are more familiar with such shops than children in Sweden and Canada. The Japanese, French, and Canadian children all equally recognized the idea of“information”showed by the question mark.
Interestingly, the French and Canadian children understood the symbol referring to“campground(露营地)”better than the other children. Again, the researchers thought that recognition of a symbol shows how common the activity is in a country.
One particularly difficult symbol was that of the umbrella and glove used for“lost and found”, which was correctly explained by less than 50％ of the children in four of the five countries. On the basis(基础) of this finding, the experimenters decided to add a question mark to make this symbol easier to understand.
1．Which of the following shows the correct meaning of(X), (Y), and (Z) in the graph above?
[ ]
A．Campground, Coffee Shop, Lost and Found.
B．Lost and Found, Campground, Coffee Shop.
C．Coffee shop, Lost and Found, Campground.
D．Telephone, No smoking, Information.
2．If we compare the Japanese and French children's understanding of the question mark and cigarette symbols, then we can find a difference of _____ between these symbols.
[ ]
A．0％ B．10％
C．80％ D．90％
3．The _____ symbol was the most difficult for the Japanese children to understand.
[ ]
A．cup B．question mark
C．tent D．umbrella and glove
4．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
[ ]
A．The experimenters thought Japanese children drink coffee.
B．The most difficult symbol was changed to make it clearer.
C．The question mark symbol is the least difficult in all five countries.
D．The researchers thought children would know as much as grown-ups.

Saying in great, comfortable lodgings(租房)while on a summer vacation doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to spend a lot of money．
So if you want to stay in a decent hotel for your summer vacation, but you are on a tight budget, then here are some tips for you to follow：
●If you are heading for a big city, stay over on Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights．In cities attracting a lot of business clients, many local hotels lower their weekend rates．You may be able to bargain for a good price at a four-star hotel in a city during the weekend if the hotel isn’t full．Check out websites such as priceline．com, which offer discounts on hotels．
●Find accommodations that are an extra 10 minutes or so from the nearest tourist attraction．Close-by hotels, resorts and inns usually cost more than those further away．Lodging on the outskirts can be as much as 25 percent to 30 percent lower．
●Book very late or very early．The further you book the better deal you can get．But ________, you can also get a discount．
●Compare services．Hotel X may have a higher price tag per room than Hotel Y, but you may be better off staying at the former．That all depends on the type of free services you get．Check to see if the hotel serves free breakfasts and offers free transportation services to tourist spots．
Lastly, for those who want to swap apartments or do time shares, there are plenty of sites that can be checked out．For swapping, there is homeexchange．com, which has an annual membership fee of ＄49.95 and gives you access to more than 6000 listings of homes worldwide．

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I'm so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too... I wasn't 36 watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went 37 our way after saying goodbye.
But at 38 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 39 our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I 40 knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart 41 . I didn't realize how harshly(苛刻地) I had spoken.
That night, when I lay 42 in bed, God's quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 43 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite... Go look around on the kitchen floor, you'll find some flowers there by the 44 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 45 them herself-- pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the 46 in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her 47 : “Wake up, my dear,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I 48 them in a napkin（餐巾）, just for you. I knew you'd like them, especially the 49 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today... And I 50 have fussed（慌乱）at you that way.”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that's okay... I still love you 51 .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”
Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 52 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of （大约）days. But the family you leave _53 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 54 than into our families--an unwise investment(投资) indeed.
Remember that 55 = (F)ATHER -- (A)ND--(M)OTHER -- (I)--(L)OVE--(Y)OU.

42. A. awake B. asleep C. afraid D. alive
43. A. dealing B. meeting C. going D. talking
44. A. floor B. kitchen C. door D. window
45. A. grew B. bought C. picked D. fetched
46. A. joy B. expressions C. smiles D. tears
47. A. desk B. knees C. body D. bed
48. A. wrapped B. covered C. put D. help
49. A. pink B. yellow C. blue D. black
50. A. shouldn't B. needn't C. mustn't D. can't
