21、The traditional British pub is part of the scenery of British life. At a recent count, there are around 50000 of them in the UK, some of which date back to as far as the 5th and 6th centuries. The oldest---Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St. Albans---was established in 795.

Because of their abundance, the names pubs take were designed to be memorable---but more than that, they were designed to be visual. Outside any traditional pub worthy of its title, you’ll find a hanging signboard with a unique illustration(插图)that represents the name of the business. The practice is so well established that even new pubs copy it. But why do they exist at all?

The first British pub signs were created in the 12th century and were simple representations of beer containers and other brewing-related equipment used to inform passersby that establishments sold beer. This was Britain in the dark ages, when education was in short supply. Since most of the population were unable to read, pub signs were used to inform would-be customers that they could find a drink inside.

The earliest uses of pub names would reference the sign directly. People would arrange to meet “at the sign of the Eagle and Child” rather than “at the Eagle and Child.”

Today the tradition remains unchanged largely out of respect for the past, but many pub signs do have some functionality. Remote country pubs often use signboards to point the way to their doors from more trafficked(可贩卖的)paths. It’s a part of British culture that’s rapidly disappearing---more than 20,000 pubs have closed since 1980—but for now there are still more than enough around that you can take a moment to appreciate the history and symbolism behind a pub’s sign the next time you see one.

【1】What is special about British pub signs?

A. They copy famous art   B. They show British life

C. They have unique pictures   D. They include the history of the pub

【2】The first British pub signs were mainly used to ____.

A. inspire passersby   B. inform passersby

C. educate passersby   D. entertain passersby

【3】Modern British pub signs are different from the earliest ones in ___________.

A. size   B. style

C. material   D. purpose

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A. The history of British pubs

B. The importance of British pub signs

C. Why British pubs have illustrated signs

D. Why British pubs are unpopular nowadays

22、One hundred years ago, “Colored” was the typical way of referring to Americans of African descent. Twenty years later, it was purposefully dropped to make way for “Negro”. By the late 1960s, that term was overtaken by “Black”. And then, at a press conference in Chicago in 1988, Jesse Jackson declared that “African American” was the term to welcome. This one was chosen because it echoed the labels of groups, such as “Italian Americans” and “Irish Americans”, that had already been freed of widespread discrimination.

A century's worth of calculated name changes point to the fact that naming any group is a politically freighted exercise. A 2001 study cataloged all the ways in which the term “Black” carried connotations (涵义) that were more negative than those of “African American”.

But if it was known that “Black” people were viewed differently from “African Americans”, researchers, until now, hadn't identified what that gap in perception came from. A recent study, conducted by Emory University's Erika Hall, found that “Black” people are viewed more negatively than “African Americans” because of a perceived difference in socioeconomic status. As a result, “Black” people are thought of as less competent and as having colder personalities.

The study's most striking findings shed light on the racial discriminations permeating the professional world. Even seemingly harmless details on a CV, it appears, can tap into recruiters' (招聘人员) discriminations. A job application might mention affiliations (关系) with groups such as the “Wisconsin Association of African-American Lawyers” or the “National Black Employees Association”, the names of which apparently have consequences, and are also beyond their members' control.

In one of the study's experiments, subjects were given a brief description of a man from Chicago with the last name Williams. To one group, he was identified as “African-American”, and another was told he was “Black”. With little else to go on, they were asked to estimate Mr Williams' salary, professional standing, and educational background.

The “African-American” group estimated that he earned about $37,000 a year and had a two-year college degree. The “Black” group, on the other hand, put his salary at about S29,000, and guessed that he had only “some” college experience. Nearly three-quarters of the first group guessed that Mr Williams worked at a managerial level, while only 38.5 percent of the second group thought

Hall's findings suggest there's an argument to be made for electing to use “African American”, though one can't help out get the sense that it's a decision that papers over (掩盖) the urgency of continued progress. Perhaps a new phrase is needed, one that can bring everyone one big step closer to realizing Du Bois' original, idealistic hope: “It's not the name - it's the Thing that counts.”

【1】Why did Jesse Jackson embrace the term “African American” for people of African descent?

A．It is free from racial biases.

B．It represents social progress.

C．It is in the interest of common Americans.

D．It follows the standard naming practice.

【2】What do Erika Hall's findings indicate?

A．Most recruiters are unable to control their racial biases.

B．Racial biases are widespread in the professional world.

C．Many applicants don't attend to details on their resumes.

D．Job seekers should all be careful about their affiliations.

【3】What does Erika Hall find in her experiment about a man with the last name Williams?

A．African Americans fare better than many other ethnic groups.

B．Black people's socioeconomic status in America remains low.

C．People's conception of a person has much to do with the way he or she is labeled.

D．One's professional standing and income are related to their educational background.

【4】What is Dr. Du Bois's ideal?

A．All Americans enjoy equal rights.

B．A person is judged by their worth.

C．A new term is created to address African Americans.

D．All ethnic groups share the nation's continued progress.

AVOID PUBLIC WI-FI

Free Wi-fi offered in public places is often poorly secured. Hackers need only ordinary tools to access mobile phones linked to the network and the information the devices store.

DON’T OVERSHARE ONLINE

Internet users can let their guard down when chatting with strangers on social media, letting slip their names, family details, workplace addresses and job titles to their new “friends”.

AVOID ONLINE SURVEYS

Some questionnaires try to attract people with small rewards or a chance to take part in a “lucky draw”. But to qualify, people must fill in their names, phone numbers and home addresses. Check the website where the survey is being hosted and consider whether it’s reliable.

KEEP ONLINE RESUMES BRIEF

Internet users often do not hesitate to provide detailed personal information in their online resumes, thinking it can only help probable employers to contact them. Some job site operators even require applicants to list their family members’ information. China’s Ministry of Public Security says people should give only the information necessary.

TRACK COPIES OF YOUR ID CARD
