Journalism Fellowships
In this important year for Europe, here is your chance to become one of the finest reporters and launch a career at two of the most globally famous news organizations—The Economist & the Financial Times. Below are the details.
What do the prizes involve and who has the right qualifications?
Two awards are on offer: one, for a British applicant, will consist of a three-month fellowship (职员身份) in continental Europe at The Economist; the other, for an applicant from elsewhere in the European Union, will be in London at the
Financial Times also lasting three months. Both winners will also receive ￡6,000
to cover accommodation and travel. The fellowships are open only to European Union citizens.
Who are the fellowships suited for?
The fellowships are established specially for those ambitious early-career journalists with bold ideas and a lively writing style, each capable of adapting to the excitement and pressures of a modern newsroom. The fellow should have a particular interest and curiosity about European affairs, as the prize aims to help continental writers understand Britain and British writers understand Europe.
What is this year's subject?
What is Europe's greatest weakness? Please choose the country, institution, or issue that is of greatest concern.
How to apply?
Please send a submission on the subject above, together with a CV (简历) and covering letter. The submission can be：

Entries should be sent, by the closing date of May 16th 2018, by e-mail to

Ⅱ.七选五
(2019·兰州一中上学期高三模拟) The Lost Rules of Etiquette
Etiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together. __1__. Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.
Opening the Door
In days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies. __2__. This has now almost entirely disappeared—and it is pot entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them. They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism (大男子主义)．
Writing Thank-You Notes
In days gone by, whenever a person received a gift, they would write a thank-you
note as soon as possible. __3__. Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you note. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be laughed at.
__4__
We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days. __5__. After all, a party normally has a guest of honor—this is usually the oldest woman present. It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor—and once the guest of honor left, it was a signal to all that they should begin their own preparations to leave.
A．Arriving on Time
B．Leaving at the Right Time C．People leave with various excuses
D．It enabled people to get on well with each other E．This rule was true even if the giver was a relative F．It could be the lady they were driving, or a stranger G．We've thrown away the concept of a guest of honor at will 本文讲的是礼仪。
1．D 解析：根据上一句：礼仪，或礼貌，过去像胶水一样将社会团结起来。可知此空表达的意思是：它使人们相处得很好。故选D。
2．F 解析：根据空格上句：在过去，无论是什么场合，绅士都会为女士开门。再根据空格后一句：这种情况现在几乎已经看不到了。可知此空表达的意思是：他们可能会为搭乘他们车的女士或者一位陌生女士开门。故选F。
3．E 解析：根据空格上一句：以前当人们收到礼物总会尽快写一封感谢信，以表达自己真诚的谢意。再根据空格后一句：孩子在收到生日或圣诞节礼物时，父母会教孩子写感谢信。可知此空要表达的意思是：这条法则是真实的，即使给予者是亲戚。故选E。
4．B 解析：此空是小标题。根据下文的内容：我们似乎越来越缺少正确的时间观念和礼仪了，我们会因为各式各样的借口离开正在参加的聚会。可知此处的意思是：适时地离开。可知B项适合做标题。
5．C 解析：根据空格前一句：目前当我们谈到聚会时，我们似乎越来越缺少正确的时间观念和礼仪了。再根据空格后一句：毕竟聚会应以最年长的妇人为贵宾。可知此空所要表达的意思是：人们因为各式各样的借口离开正在参加的聚会。故选C。
Ⅲ.语法填空
(2019·绥德中学高三阶段性测试)
A recent study shows that most adults did household chores __1__ (active)when they were young. Most kids today do not do as many household chores as before, __2__ same study shows.
