Fascinating Venice

Located in the northeast of Italy, Venice is well-known for its cultural treasures, romantic atmosphere and unusual living-on-water experience. The city spreads out over 118 islands, which are linked by more than 400 bridges, in the Venetian Lagoon.

Venice’s historical center consists of six regions. Italy in the south, the busiest main regions, are linked by the Rialto Bridge. The famous stone arch bridge（拱桥）crosses Venice’s main waterway — the Grand Canal. When night falls, many tourists enjoy dinner at the outside tables by the Grand Canal while watching colorfully lit boats going by.

Near the end of the S-shaped Grand Canal lies St. Mark’s Basilica, a must-see. Inside, beautiful mosaics（镶嵌图案）tell stories of Bible figures. Nearby are the Doge’s Palace and the Bridge of Sighs. These were made famous by Lord Byron, “I stood in Venice on the Bridge of Sighs, a palace and prison on each hand.” The story has it that if a couple passes under the bridge, their love will last forever.

In the square outside the Basilica, lovers of literature can sit at Caffe Florian, regarded as the oldest coffee house in Europe. Charles Dickens, Henry James as well as Lord Byron enjoyed the aromatic（芳香的）drink here.

Art lovers should buy a museum pass and visit some of the city’s museums. They can view works by Venetian masters like Giovanni, Titian and Tintoretto.

On five small islands in the Venetian Lagoon, Murano has been home to glass-makers since 1291. Tourists can visit factories, studios and the Glass Museum. Glass artists produce everything from simple souvenir pieces to beautiful works of contemporary art. Only glassworks made using traditional methods on Murano can be called Murano Glass. The nearby island of Burano is famous for lace（蕾丝）making and colorful houses. Looking at the colorful houses and kaleidoscopic（万花筒似的）streets makes people feel as if they were walking in the fairy tale.

The City of Water promises beauty of all kinds, and it definitely lives up to its promise.

Britain’s government is to introduce a law making it a legal requirement for the first time for every public sector（部门）worker in a public-facing role to speak English fluently, the Cabinet Office announced Sunday. The Cabinet Office said it will mean all public sector organisations must ensure staff can communicate effectively with the public, at what will be similar to a language skill good enough to pass a high-level high college exam.

A spokesman for the Cabinet Office said: “This requirement would increase depending on the nature of the role and profession. Doctors, for example, are already required to have a much higher level of English.”

“Organisations including the National Health Service (NHS), armed forces and state-funded schools will all be bound by a new code（法规）of practice which will be produced following a consultation in the autumn. The law and code of practice will apply to both existing and new employees working in public-facing roles.”

Hancock said: “We are controlling immigration（移民）for the benefit of all hard-working people. That includes making sure that foreign nationals employed in customer-facing public sector roles are able to speak English of a high standard.

We have already introduced tough new language requirements for migrants, now we will introduce new law in the coming Immigration Bill to deliver the commitment（承诺） made by Prime Minister David Cameron to go further.”

The new primary law will be used to extend the same level of language control to every public sector worker in a customer facing role. It will include police officers, social workers, teaching staff and assistants, and local government employees. Added Minister Hancock: “This will be the first time there has been an approach to enforcing（强制实施）fluent English across the public sector and will create a consistent experience for taxpayers, while promoting integration（整合；一体化）and British values in the United Kingdom.” 32．In public sectors, the English requirement . A．is going to apply only to new employees B．will be different for different jobs C．is the hardest for doctors D．aroused a heated debate

33．Which of the following may Hancock agree with? A．People in Britain will have to work harder. B．There are too many migrants in Britain.

C．It will be harder for foreigners to be Englishmen. D．The requirement can help promote employment.

34．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that . A．the new law will involve many public sectors B．it may be hard to carry out the new law

C．many public sector workers can’t use English well D．the new law may change British values 35．What does the text mainly tell us?

A．English is more and more popular and important in the world. B．Fluent English will be a requirement in public sectors in Britain. C．English can make a difference in effective communication at work. D．A new primary law on immigration has been made in Britain.
