Argentina（阿根廷） in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870, it was experiencing an economic boom (繁荣), and the capital, Buenos Aires, attracted many people. Farmers, as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy, came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didn’t pay well, and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known as the tango(探戈舞) appeared.
At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes (阶级). It was danced in the bars and streets. At that time there many fewer women than men, so if a man didn’t want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few women. Gradually, the dance spread into the upper (上层) classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable（受人尊敬的）.
In Europe at this time, strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. The interest in international dance was especially evident（明显的） in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞)to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. After tango dance from Argentina arrived in Europe, they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exiting dance in cafés. Though not everyone approved of (赞成) the new dance, saying it was a little too shocking, the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.
The popularity of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world. Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America. It reached Japan in 1926, and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy (大

25.Which of the following is true about the tango?

The other day I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly (精彩地) written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background (背景) at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar (撒谎者).
Surely, my friend is not the only one. Approximately (大约) two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty (愧疚，有罪的) Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and all kinds of authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one who lies too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” (留下印象) someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky(棘手的) if the conversation became deeper.
But when asked which writers they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted (承认) they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean: I do this and am surprised that 58 percent said they had never done so).
28. How did the author find his friend a book liar?
A. By looking into his background. B. By judging his way of speaking.
C. By talking about the book itself. D. By mentioning (提及) a famous name.
