2.In 2000, with little but a bar and a church left to make it a destination, tiny St. James, Nebraska,was taken off state highway maps. Then the church closed, and the small farm village in the state’snortheast corner looked set to just disappear. Thanks to five devoted women, it didn’t.In May 2001, after meeting with staff from the Center for Rural Affairs, the friends—Louis Guy,Vicky Koch, Jeanette Pinkelman, Mary Rose Pinkelman and Violet Pinkelman—opened a weekendmarket for vendors(小商贩) to sell handcrafts and local food.“We felt like, what can we do to bring the community together?” says Mary Rose Pinkelman, “Wedecided to make a place to sell local goods.” They set up shop in the church school, which, thoughclosed for nearly 40 years, had been well maintained. The first weekend, 16 vendors look over an old classroom. The result was an instant hit. Today, the market draws up to 70 vendors----who sellsuch items as homemade jellies, baked goods, hand-woven rugs, and farm-grown produce----andwhat Pinkelman calls an unexpected number of visitors. In the process, the market has made St.James a destination again, putting it back on the state road map.According to Para. 1, what fate was St. James Nebraska suffering?

18.It’s interesting that technology often works as a servant for us, yet frequently we become a servantto it. E?mail is a useful tool but many feel controlled by this new vehicle. The averagebusinessperson is getting about 80 e?mails per day and many feel that about 80% of the messagesin their “In Box” are of little or no value.So, I have four suggestions to help you to become better at “Easing E?mail”.1.Get off the lists. The best way to deal with a problem is to never have it. If you are receiving a lotof unwanted e?mails, ask to be removed from the various lists. This would include your inclusionin unwanted “cc” lists(抄送名单).2.“Unlisted address”.Just like getting an “unlisted” telephone number that you share only withthose whom you want to give direct access, you might want to get a separate e?mail address onlyfor the important communications you wish to receive.3.Check it once or twice per day.Many I speak with are becoming chained to their email server,monitoring incoming email on a continuous basis. Maybe this is because e?mail creates its own sense of urgency, but most of the communications are not all that urgent. I respond to them a couple of times per day.4.Deal with it. As you open each e?mail do one of the following:a.If it requires a quick response, respond to it and delete it.b.If it requires a response but is not the best use of your time, try to find someone else to do it.c.If it is going to take any serious amount of time to respond, schedule it for action in your Day Planner and then download the message, save it, or print it out for future action.I personally receive approximately 250 e?mails per day and by practicing the suggestions above, I can handle that volume in about an hour, taking advantage of this fantastic tool but not being controlled by it to the distraction(分心)of more important tasks in my day.For the important communications, the writer suggests that you .

19.Passage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay” accommodation when they study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit．Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time．But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say．There are three ways of doing it：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher；select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example．Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements．Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have．Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center．Even if you stay further out，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money， it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family．This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible． But if you plan to learn English，why not have your English classes in your host family． There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?
