If you want to study abroad, have you thought about where to live? I’ve been living and studying in Canada for about nine months. As I’m still too young to rent an apartment by myself. I live with a homestay family and I feel like I’m part of it.
The first time I had a homestay was in 2013. During that time, I stayed in Ajax, a town in
Canada, for a week and lived with a homestay family. Carlton lives with his nephew and his niece-in-law. Carlton drove me to an international school to learn about Canadian culture every morning, and he picked me up in the afternoons. Our leisure time was in the evening. The meals he made for me were delicious and we usually watched a movie after dinner. All experiences left an unforgettable impression on me, even if I didn’t live there for a long time. I’m now living with a Hungarian(匈牙利) family with another Chinese boy. There are two family members--- Mrs Perger and her son, Robert. I’ve already lived here for nine months and I have been deeply moved by many things they’ve done. Once, my roommate went running and didn’t come back for quite a long time. Mrs Perger called him, but he didn’t answer the phone. She began to worry about him, and was even about to cry.
However, living with a homestay family also has its disadvantages, especially when living with a foreign family. The biggest challenge for me has been the totally different lifestyle, which took me a long time to get used to.
Living with a homestay family has given me a lot of new experiences. It has taught me how to communicate with different people. Moreover, when different lifestyles and cultures meet together, I have seen that the spark(火花) they make are spectacular(壮观的). 32.

六、任务型阅读（共10小题, 每小题1分，满分10分） ( A )
A bookstore chain(连锁书店), ―Popular Bookmall(大众书局)‖ introduced their unique style of book distribution(分布) in Shanghai back in November. This experimental store offers books at very low prices, and there is no staff(职员) to require shoppers to pay before taking books away. Sounds like a book lover’s paradise(天堂)！
Popular Bookmall had already set up such a shop in Nanjing. The organizers of the Nanjing store report that it was a great success, enough shoppers voluntarily paid for their books. But most older ―honesty stores‖ in China did not receive enough honest shoppers. For example, a shelf-service restaurant opened in Fujian province years ago which allowed shoppers to pay whatever they chose, but about one –fifth of shoppers paid nothing. Therefore some people have speculated(推断) that Chinese are becoming more honest. The organizers
of the ―honesty stores‖ say that their goal is to encourage people in China to remember how important honesty is.
Many are cared about dishonesty in China. Even at Popular Bookmall, not everybody choose to pay for their books. How can we encourage ourselves to be honest? We should listen to our conscience(道德心). This has deep roots in Chinese culture. Confucius(孔子) taught Chinese to be conscientious and honest.
But there is also a great rational(合理的) reason for ―honesty stores‖: the more honest people there are in society, the more reasons we have to trust others. And if people trusted each other, they’d be more willing to share. We could contribute to a
―sharing economy‖ where you do not have to think about saving or spending money all the time, but helping other people. For all these reasons, society is built on trust, not only trade. 阅读以上信息，用恰当的单词完成下面的句子，每空一词。
56. Shoppers can buy ______ books in the experimental store in Shanghai than other shops. 57. Nanjing has already______ set up a bookmall where shoppers can pay for their books voluntarily.
58. However, most of the honesty stores in China used to _____ to achieve their goal. 59. The aim of organizing honesty stores is to have people understand the _____ of honesty. 60. Conscientious and honest have greatly ______ our city in many ways.

With air pollution making much difference to many of Chinese cities, parents are calling for the installation(安装) of air cleaners in classrooms. There has been much debate over whether air cleaners should be used in China’s schools. Some parents have donated cleaners to their children’s classrooms, while others raise money together to make the purchase(购买). ―Our school bought air cleaners last year. We did a little fund raising, with each parent throwing in several hundred for that,‖ said one parent.
However, the idea of installing air cleaners for all the classes has been refused by some schools. Liu Liangcheng, vice-principal of Beijing’s Taipinglu Primary School, says installing air cleaners bought by parents may lead to problems. ―We have refused air cleaners bought by parents before, as there are clear and strict rules against educational fees. We can’t just break the rules here. And without standard guidance (指示) from local authorities(权威部门), it is
