Look at a map of Spain and point a the center. You’ve located the county’s capital and one of Europe’s most beautiful cities: Madrid. This popular destination is considered a city of contrasts with its abundant historic sites, resting in the shadows of modern skyscrapers.
History
This city of over 3 million people is proud of Western Europe’s largest royal place, and some consider it to be Madrid’s most beautiful building.
Inside the Royal Palace 2,800 rooms are decorated in glory with museum-quality furniture and artwork. Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms.
Art
The Internationally respected Prado Museum is the largest and most impressive art gallery in Spain. Opened in 1819, it is filled with works of art that feature the world’s most comprehensive collection of Spanish paintings.
Shopping
Madrid has some of Europe’s best shopping, and potential buyers love to look through the stores looking for bargains. But for 500 years, shoppers have gathered to an extremely large outdoor flea market known as the Rastro where they find everything from antiques to CDs.
Entertainment
No trip to Madrid is complete with out seeing a performance of Spain’s famous art form, flamenco. Every day, flamenco performers sing, dance or play the guitar in small cafes and grand theaters alike.
Food
Madrid has a wide variety of restaurants, but because the Spanish typically eat late at about 9 or 10 pm, it’s difficult to find good dinner food earlier. If you get hungry before then ,the best solution is to try a tapas bar where light snacks are served. Be sure to try the jamon, dry-cured ham: Spain is famous for it.
Time for a break
After a day of touring, relax in 350-acre Retire Park with its beautiful gardens,fish pond and lake. It

Steve Brosnihan is the “resident cartoonist” at the children’s Hospital, who wanders from room to room drawing and chatting and doing whatever else he can think of to cheer up the sick children. During one visit, he was saying good night to a teenage patient when he had a bright idea.
Steve told the teenager to look out of the window after he left. Outside, Steve flickered(闪烁)his bike light up toward the hospital. To his surprise, the teen responded, flickering his own room lights right back.
Every night after that, Steve flickered his light, and more and more kids flickered back. When he mentioned it to a friend working at a restaurant, the owner said he wanted in too. He started to flick the restaurant sign for one minute every night at 8:30. Soon enough, the customers started joining in with flashlights and cell phones. Almost by accident, a simple gesture was changing into a powerful connection between local people and sick children.
Now more than 20 groups are on board for the *:30 p.m. flicker. Every Wednesday night, police officers line up their cars and flash them. Even boats on the river join in to give their bright good-night wave to kids who are going through frightening situations and sleeping in a strange place.
“it is all I look forward to basically all day” says Abigail Waldron, aged ten. “ It just shows you that somebody is helping you through your whole experience in the hospital.”
“It would be very hard not to do this,” says Steve, “ once you start.” The most powerful of all, he adds, comes from the families of children who have died. They continue to return to the hospital to flicker a light outside in support of children who are still patients. 24. Why did Steve Brosnihan flicker his bike light?
A. To get light for the hospital. B. To comfort a teenage patient. C. To inform the patients of his leaving. D. To expect a response from a teenager.
25. What does the last sentence in Para. 3 mean?
A. A small action can make a difference. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Love makes the world go round. D. Great minds think alike. 26. What can we learn from Waldron’s words?
A. He likes to flicker lights. B. He is frightened of treatment. C. He gets warmth from the lights. D. He likes the boat light. 27. Which of the following can be the best tile for the text?
A. Treatment for Sick Children B. A Warmhearted
C. The powerful Lights D. Lights Flickering in the Hospital

With the ever-increasing popularity of online shopping, users’ reviews are becoming more and more important. Given that you can’t actually touch, see, smell or hear the product you’re buying online, these reviews provide buyers valuable information on the product itself. But how far can you trust them? Barnaby Bicken had an unpleasant experience. “I took some friends to a restaurant in Manchester that had excellent review on a food website. However, the service was awful and we were ignored most of the time. Later, I wrote a review to the same site only to be told that the review site owner would not accept and bad reviews—only the good ones.
So, how can you get a useful review? Web expert Hilary Saunders has a few top tips. “If there are only a few reviews of a place, there is a good chance they have been planted by friends or enemies. If there are many reviews, start by dropping the most extreme comments. Also, watch out for similarities in style between reviews from people with different usernames, particularly if those reviews were placed about the same time. The best thing is to look for reviewers who show some relevant knowledge of the product they are reviewing.
Some companies seem to be contributing to the problem. A publishing house offered gift vouchers(礼券) to anyone who would give their textbook a five-star review. But not all online companies operate like this. “Amazon works hard to keep the completeness of its customer reviews,” said a spokesperson for the company. “We have very clear guidelines, and when a customer reports a review that they feel is inappropriate, we check, and may take it down.
So, next time you see that 5-star review for something you want to buy, be aware—it could be the work of a false reviewer!
28. What does “them” in Para. 1refer to?
A. Products. B. Users. C. Reviews. D. Buyers.
