Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
It isn’t often that an entire industry is symbolized in the figure of a single human being, and such is the case with Canadian aviation and the aircraft industry. The man is the Hon. John A.D.McCurdy, and the life story of this still vigorous, distinguished Canadian is at once and at the same time the thrilling history of aviation’s progress in Canada.
It all began one cold February day in 1909 at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, when John McCurdy confounded the critics by flying the Silver Dart, an aircraft designed by himself, for half a mile over the ice of Bras deor Lakes. This was the first po wered flight in Canada and the first by a British subject in the Commonwealth. McCurdy gave proof of his flying ability—and of the development and the use of the aileron by being the first man in the world to execute a figure eight in the air. He became the first to pilot a flying boat, taking off from Long Island Sound. He flew the first airplane to Mexico. In 1911 he had made the longest flight to date, and that over open sea 90 miles from Key West to Havana. He won the first cross country race in Canada 40 miles from Hamilton to Toronto—and he transmitted the first radio message from aircraft.
When World War Ⅱ came, McCurdy took on board supervisory authority for Canadian aircraft production by serving with the government in various senior positions.Following World War Ⅱ, McCurdy was honored by being made lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia where he made Canada’s first historic flight. He now lives in Montreal with a summer home in Baddeck, site of his first flight.

Historic Bedford Springs Hotel to Reopen in May
BEDFORD, Pa. — The historic Bedford Springs Hotel is set to reopen on Memorial Day after undergoing nearly two years of renovations costing $100 million.
Owners are installing modern conveniences such as flat-screen TVs, wireless Internet access and a state-of-the-art business center, while preserving the original character of the facility's 10 buildings. "It will be an unusual blend of the glories of days gone by and ultra-modern conveniences," said Mr. Winston, general manager. "That's the challenge — when the property was constructed, the requirements of electricity and heating/ventilation were very different. There was no air conditioning."
Dr. John Anderson bought the property in 1796 after discovering natural mineral springs on the grounds. He built bath houses for his patients and the resort's popularity soared in the 1800s.
The Springs served as the summer White House for James Buchanan, and other presidents also stayed there. Owners say rooms of the 216-room will start at $250 a night. They hope to gamer a 4.5- to 5-diamond rating from the American Automobile Association.
What is NOT mentioned as new conveniences？
A．Videoconference facilities.
B．Flat-screen TV.
C．Business center.
D．Wireless Internet access.
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why？ Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals. Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular in the UK. It began in 1970 and was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ￡1—the ticket included free milk from the farm.
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength--in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying ￡112 for tickets to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Acts included veteran (老的、著名的) superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talents, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone.
Although many summer festivals are run on a profit-making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities(慈善事业).
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money for global poverty. In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously (同时) in London, Pads, Rome and Bedim Superstars, such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight international poverty and debt.
What does the author mean by "the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength"？
A．The festival has achieved continuing and growing success.
B．It has taken great efforts to hold the festival.
C．The festival has brought in a large amount of money.
D．There have been thousands of fans attending the festival.
