You’ve just coe hoe, after living abroad for a few years. Since you’ve been away, has this country changed for the better—or for the worse?
If you’ve just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight’s holiday, sall changes have probably surprised you—anything fro a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a obile-phone shop to soeone in your street oving house.
So how have things changed to people coing back to Britain after seven, ten or even 1ears living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed—or now take for granted? To find out, we asked soe people who recently returned.
Debi: When we left, Cheltenha, y hoe town, was a town of white, iddle-class failies—all very conservative (保守的). The town is now hoe to any eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who coe here ainly to work in hotels and touris. There are even several shops only for foreigners.
Having been an iigrant (移民) yself, I adire people who go overseas to find a job. aybe if I lived in an inner city where uneployent was high, I’d think differently, but I believe foreign settlers have iproved this country because they’re ore open-inded and often work harder than the natives.
Christine: As we flew hoe over Britain, both of us rearked how green everything looked. But the differences between the place we’d left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed.
To see policeen with guns in the airport for the first tie was frightening—in Cyprus, they’re very relaxed—and I got pulled over by custos officers just for taking a woolen sweater with soe etal-ade buttons out of y case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seeed to be on guard. Even the airport car-hire fir wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.
But anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. I just wish ore people would appreciate what they’ve got.
56. After a short overseas holiday, people tend to _______.

The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries ight learn fro its istakes.
For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the reote island of Nauru, far fro western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.
However, because it was very reote, Nauru had little counication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These eleents destroyed the social balance of the twelve faily groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population fro 1,400 to 900.
Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British ining copany discovered phosphate (磷酸鹽)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very iportant fertilizer for faring. The copany began ining the phosphate.
A phosphate ine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip ine. When a copany strip-ines, it reoves the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the aterial it wants. Strip ining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the oon.
In 1968, Nauru becae one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the governent received illions and illions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately, the leaders invested the oney unwisely and lost illions of dollars. In addition, they used illions ore dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible proble — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approxiately $433,600,000 and ore than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.
60. What was Nauru like before the Europeans cae?
A. Rich and powerful B. odern and open
C. Peaceful and attractive D. Greedy and aggressive
61. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted fro _______.
A. soil pollutionB. phosphate overining
C. faring activity D. whale hunting
62. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial proble?

C. Its phosphate ining cost uch oney D. It lost illions of dollars in the civil war.
63. What can we learn about Nauru fro the last paragraph?
A. The ecological daage is difficult to repair.
B. The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously.
C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans
D. The phosphate ines were destroyed

San Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landark.
The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Aos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.
The original bridge was built over Olypia Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and fro the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. any ties, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over.
One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its outh, and that day’s coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and fored a coittee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政會).The Council approved, and Councilwoan Bess LaRiviere naed the bridge “Nutty Narrows.”
After architects designed the bridge, Aos Peters and Bill Hutch started Construction, They built the 60-foot bridge fro aluinu and lengths of fire hose(消防水帶). It cost $1,000.
It didn’t take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching the the ropes. The story was picked up by the edia, and Nutty Narrows becae know in newspapers all over the world.
In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were ade and crosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of anial lovers attended the copletion cereony of the new bridge.
Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in eory of its builder and his devotion to the project.

You are given any opportunities in life to choose to be a victi or creator. When you choose to be a victi, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you ay blae yourself for all your probles, thus internalizing(內化)your victiization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blae yourself or others.
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who ight like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blae theselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the atter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)oent of life is a gift and that stors are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for eotional and spiritual growth.
Victis and creators live in the sae physical world and deal with any of the sae physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victis relish (沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other eotions that cause others---and even theselves---to feel like victis, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only theselves, but all around the. Both victis and creators always have choice to deterine the direction of their lives.
In reality, all of us play the victi or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, ay feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for onths, years, or even a lifetie. Another with the sae experience ay choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon ove on to be a powerful creative force in his life.
In every oent and every circustance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transfor the victi within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.
72. According to Paragraph 2, creators __________.
A. see willing to experience failures in lifeB. possess the ability to predict future life
C. handle ups and downs of life wiselyD. have potential to create soething new[
73. What can we learn fro Paragraph 3?
A. Creators and victis face quite different things in life.
B. Creators and victis are asters of their lives.
C. Victis can influence ore people than creators.
D. Copared with victis, creators are ore eotional.
74. The exaples entioned in Paragraph 4 show that _______________.
A. strong attachent to sufferings in life pulls people into victis.
B. people need faily support to deal with challengers in life.
C. it takes creators quite a long tie to get rid of their pains.
D. one’s experiences deterine his attitude toward life.
75. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To define victis and creators.
B. To evaluate victis against creators.
C. To explain the relationship between victis and creators.
D. To suggest the transforation fro victis to creators.
