Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

To ask if there is some mistake.

Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

A sea of green gardens surrounds Windsor Castle in the English countryside. It looks out onto the River Thames and sits next to a hunting ground. It was built just outside London to protect the capital from enemies on the west side.
Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied (在使用的) castle in the world. It was built just after 1066. The castle has a long, rich and troubled history. If the castle walls could talk, they’d have many stories to tell.
Kings were born and died here. It’s been used as a home for kings and queens for centuries. However, it was also used as a prison during the English Civil War (1642–1651). King Charles Ⅰ was even a prisoner there. During World War Ⅱ, the royal family secretly slept at Windsor Castle because it was safer than London’s urban areas. All of the windows were blacked out.
Windsor Castle was the private home of Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ. When she was not meeting guests at Buckingham Palace, she stayed at Windsor Castle. But that’s not all. Windsor Castle is open to the public. It is now one of England’s most popular attractions. Visitors can look at some of the world’s finest works of art, including the paintings of Rembrandt (伦勃朗), as well as enjoy its well - kept gardens. What is a better way to learn about England than to enjoy some of the country’s finest scenery?

D
There is a popular Chinese saying that “Fair skin will make up for three flaws (缺陷).” This mentions the fact that in Chinese culture, it is believed that people who have fair skin are more beautiful. In Western culture, however, the opposite is true—many westerners think tanned skin is more beautiful. The example shows that different cultures have different ideas of what they think is beautiful. These cultural meanings of beauty, however, are no longer important.
As more and more people travel overseas, ideas about beauty are being shared among cultures. The Internet has also made it easier for people to share different types of beauty since people are always posting pictures on social media. The result is an ever - changing idea of what is considered beautiful.
The cultural practice of ear piercings, for example, has become a part of modern day culture. In Kenya, it is a tradition among Masai (马赛人) men and women to pierce and then make their ear lobes (耳垂) longer using ivory and wood or stones. They then wear colourful things on their ear lobes. This is a common practice since longer ear lobes are seen as a sign of beauty. This tradition has now found its way into present - day culture. Nowadays, this might still seem unusual to some, but with more and more well - known actors and film stars showing off their longer ear lobes, it will finally become more fashionable.
It is understood that different cultures around the world have different ways of showing beauty. However, since we now live in a worldwide society, people’s views about beauty are always changing. With the help of the Internet, people are now able to easily borrow ideas from other cultures to help them stand out. So what new fashions can we expect to see in the future?
( ) 61. What has made it easier for people to share ideas about beauty?
A. The development of technology.
B. The popularity of the latest fashions.
C. The unchanged cultural traditions.
D.The world’s growing population.
( ) 62.What can be learnt about the Masai people from the passage?
A.Longer ear lobes are their new fashion.
B.Only women make their ear lobes longer.
C.They think longer ear lobes look more beautiful.
D.They make actors and film stars famous.
