What do we think of when someone mentions Scandinavia (斯堪的纳维亚半岛), the group of Northern European countries? Many things come to mind. We might think of the breathtaking natural beauty of Norway’s fjords (峡湾). If we enjoyed the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen as children, perhaps we will think of Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen, and its statue of Andersen’s The Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》).

Perhaps we shiver at the thought of Scandinavia, as the countries there can be very cold. Or maybe we imagine this part of the world, so high up in the Northern Hemisphere, as dark and a little gloomy.

What doesn’t come to mind is people who like to party. However, according to a survey released by travel site Hostelworld this month, Scandinavia has some of the most sociable cities on the planet.

For the study, 12,188 people from cities around the world were asked about their attitudes to socializing. Overall, Gothenburg in Sweden came out on top, but Copenhagen and Stockholm also placed highly, among with more predictably lively cities like New York and Madrid.

A city made up of many little islands, Gothenburg is, according to The Daily Telegraph, “charming in an old-fashioned way”. The city’s authorities have preserved Gothenburg’s attractive wooden houses from the 19th century. Many of these have been made over into restaurants and coffee bars. Music fans are as well satisfied too—Gothenburg has dozens of record stores and live music venues (音乐厅).

As expected, Scandinavia cities are also welcoming to visitors. People here don’t care about your cultural background or anything else that some other places might take exception to. In these friendly Scandinavia cities, everyone’s invited to the party.

1. When someone mentions Scandinavia, we usually think of the following EXCEPT . A.extreme coldness B.natural beauty

C.sociable people D.Andersen’s The Little Mermaid 2. What do we know about Gothenburg according to the passage? A.People there live in an old-fashioned way. B.Old buildings are well preserved in Gothenburg. C.The music there is unique with a long history.

D.Many old wooden houses have been rebuilt as modern bars. 3. Which of the following can be the best title?

Research carried out last year stressed the growing challenge facing employers in terms of managing and supporting the UK’s ageing workforce.

Figures from the Office for National Statistics have suggested that the number of people aged 65 and over still working has reached 1.19 million—up 25,000 from a year ago. There were also now more people aged 50—74 in work than ever before. However, the overall trend was hiding the fact that 12% people are forced to stop working before reaching state pension age because of ill health or disability.

Nearly half a million (436,000) workers who are within five years of state pension age have had to leave work for medical reasons, with an apparent divide between the North (worse) and South (better). Those in the lowest-paid jobs, including cleaners, leisure industry workers and people doing heavy labouring jobs, were twice as likely to stop working before retirement age, because of sickness and disability than managers or professionals.

Within this, the needs of the “sandwich generation”—those juggling work with caring for elderly dependents as well as children—needed to be given greater priority (优先权) by employers, a white paper by insurer and healthcare provider concluded.

Its research argued that 66% of managers think the average age of retirement in their organization will increase in the next 5 to 10 years. Yet, 36% reported being unaware of anything their organization did to attract, keep and engage older staff. Fewer than a quarter (23%) of employees said they felt supported by their employer with their responsibilities for caring for a loved one.

“This was perhaps unsurprising, given that only 28% of managers said their organization had formal policies and practices in place to support these employees,” argues healthcare distribution director Chris Horlick.

4. According to the passage, who is more likely to leave work before retirement age? A.Tom, a physician. B.Jason, a language teacher. C.Henry, a construction worker. D.Bill, a bank manager.

5. The present support from the employers can be best described as . A.moving B.dissatisfying C.inspiring D.surprising 6. What is the main idea of the passage?
