[单项选择]Most people know two things about Corsica: Napoleon was born here and it was the haunt of bandits. The first is correct; the second is in the wrong tense. The bandits are still here, taking potshots at anything that smacks of French domination and flexing their muscles in the struggle for independence.
But don’t let that stop you visiting this magical place; perhaps the best-kept secret in the western Mediterranean. The bandits are not out to get you—their main purpose in life seems to be the destruction of French road signs, although from time to time they’ll blow up a public building.
Drive along the mountain roads and riotously beautiful coastal corniche highways and you’ll see signs in two languages—French and Corsu, the indigenous language derived from Tuscan Italian. Invariably the French signs are defaced. There is nothing new about this—Corsicans have been fighting since at least Roman times and it is thought the word and concept "vendetta" originated here. And this i

Most people do not know very much about Canada. Mention the country and usually one of the two images will spring up to mind. On the one hand, you might picture a sparsely populated, frozen country where people live in igloos, eat fish, hunt bears and constantly endure snow and cold. On the other hand, you might think Canada is a country that is "just like America" . Even Americans are inclined to think of Canada as the 51 st state, a part of America that through some quirk of history is not one of the United States’ states.
It is easy to understand how such misleading impressions of Canada have been engraved. It is true that most of Canada lies very far north. Large tracts of the country are wild, virtually unpopulated Arctic tundra, full of dangerous animals and freezing temperatures. But most Canadians live in the south of the country, along the 49th parallel: about 90 percent of the population is estimat

[单项选择]One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience. A novel can be on the "best seller" list with a sale of fewer than 1 00,000 copies ,but a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well - known overnight.
This is the principle behind" quiz" or" game" shows, which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars just for fun. But all of this money can create problems. For instance, in the 1950s,quiz shows were very popular in the US and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor, became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. He even had a career as a television personality. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned out that the show’s producers who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand.

[单项选择]Some Things We Know about Language
Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so. But some things
we do know.
First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. Furthermore, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.
Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.
This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in
A. complicated
