Daphne asked Jim, a friend of Walter's, for some extra help on her political science homework. On Friday, they agreed to meet at his dormitory study room at 8 Sunday night. It was 8∶05 when Jim arrived. He wasn't on time as he usually is, because he had been out enjoying the spring weather after eating at McDonald's. But he wasn't worried, because he knew from Walter that Daphne was usually late. When Daphne hadn't arrived by 8∶25, Jim was a little surprised. He decided to go to the dorm lounge(休息室) and watch his favorite Sunday night TV show. It started at 8∶30, so he had to hurry. When he got to the lounge, Walter was just leaving. “Hey, Jim, your favorite TV show just finished. Where were you? It was fantastic!”
“What do you mean, Walter? It's 8∶30, so I'm just in time to watch it!” Jim replied, looking a little confused.
“Didn't you change your watch last night?” Walter asked. Then he explained, “Last night you were supposed to move your watch ahead one hour. We do this every year on the last Sunday in April. Then, on the last Sunday in October, everyone moves clock back an hour. We say‘spring ahead, fall back ’to help us remember which way to change our clocks.” Walter stopped to see if Jim had understood his explanation. “You don't do that in Indiana, I guess.”
“No, we don't,” Jim said, shaking his head. “In that case, I was over an hour late for my appointment with Daphne, not only five minutes late. Wow! She'll never let me forget this!”
1．What is the important idea of this story?
[ ]
A．Daphne is usually late.
B．there are no time changes in Indiana.
C．Jim likes his favorite Sunday night TV show.
D．Jim was late because he didn't know about the time changes.

[ ]
A．Because he missed the fantastic TV show.
B．Because he thought he was just in time to watch his favorite TV show.
C．Because he was late for the show.
D．Because he forgot the time of the show.
3． All the citizens in the United States are supposed to move their watches ahead in spring and back in fall.
[ ]
A．Certainly they are.
B．No, they are not.
C．No, those who live in Indiana do not do that.
D．Certainly they are besides those living in Indiana.
4． How did Jim feel after Walter told him about the time changes?
[ ]
A．He felt very upset that he hadn't kept his appointment with Daphne.
B．He looked confused about the time changes.
C．He was surprised that Daphne was over an hour late.
D．He felt very glad that he didn't miss his favorite TV show.
5．Imagine you are going to a party at 2 p.m. of the last Sunday in April. If you forget about the time change, what time will you arrive?

LONDON A morning's train ride away, across the Channel, English kids talk about Liverpool's soccer team in a Paris pub.
Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.
In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival (競爭的) cities, London and Paris, in “A Tale of Two Cities.” These days, it might be A Tale of One City.
Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor's broken French and respond in polite English.
As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.
Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down. “For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,” said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.
Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. “I am French, but I'll stay in London,” she said.
There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. “I think people laugh more in Paris,” she said.
In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.
“Both cities have changed beyond recognition. ” said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner.
Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.
“I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and it is still a wonderful place,” Collins said.
“But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.”
But certainly not cheaper.
In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.
Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.
Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose.
“I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a center, but life is so structured,” she said. “In London, you can be who you want. No one cares.”
1．The best title for this passage is ___________.
[ ]
A．Londoners and Parisians
B．A Modern Tale of Two Cities
C．The Similarity of Two Cities
D．Fancy London and Fashionable Paris
2．We can infer from the text ___________.
[ ]
A．Paris and London has become perfect partners
B．London feels more full of life
C．life in Paris is structured
D．Paris and London have become fierce competitors
3．The underlined word “flocked” probably means ___________.
[ ]
A．came in large numbers
B．flew a long way
C．rushed hurriedly
D．drove long distances
4．Living in Paris, you may find ___________.
[ ]
A．life is better
B．things are cheaper
C．more attractive people
D．a job easily
5．From the passage we can know ___________.
[ ]
A．the two cities have developed very fast
B．London is better than Paris now
C．Paris is a favourite place for all journalism students
D．people in both London and Paris now lead a regular life
