A
A year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in
west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but
work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at
risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years.
Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift——$7,000,a legacy (遗产) from their
neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident . “It really made a difference
when we were going under financially.” says Dave.
But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell 3
to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were
touched by the Hatches’ generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in
other, it was more than $100,000.
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money , more than $
3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of
the family farm .
Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of
saving. They thrived own (喜欢) comparison shopping and would routinely go from
store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase .
Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp
when their parents couldn’t afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed
anything,” says their friend Sand Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do
to make you happier, and they would do them.
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It
was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy——a legacy of kindness as much as one of
dollars and cent ——should enrich the whole community and last for generations to
come.
Neighbors helping neighbors ——that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story .
21. According to the text, the Fusses
A. were employed by a truck company B. were in financial difficulty
C. worked in a school cafeteria D. lost their home
22. Which of the following is true of the Hatches?
A .They had their children during the Great Depression.
B. They left the family farm to live in an old house.
C. They gave away their possessions to their neighbors.
D. They helped their neighbors to find jobs.
23. Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store?
A. They decided to open a store
B. They wanted to save money
C. They couldn’t afford expensive things 4
D. They wanted to buy gifts for local kids
24. According to Sandy Van Weelden, the Hatches were
A. understanding B. optimistic C. childlike D. curious
25. What can we learn from the text?

B
“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight .”
“Two full inches in the first three days!”
These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and
television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or
the device of such products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth
wrinkles, or in some other way to beauty or desirability.
Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their
promoter. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to
health.
To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is
necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the
product is a drug, FDA (Food Drug Administration) can require proof under the Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But
if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of
safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA
can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it
can take legal action ,including seizure (查封) of the product.
One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the
Relaxacisor, had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced
electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the 5
distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health
and life.
Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of
court proceedings (法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually, Before buying, it
is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.
26.It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are ______.
A. objective B. costly C. unreliable D. illegal
27.Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous product.
B. New products are more likely to be questionable.
C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.
D. The promoters usually just care about profits.
28.FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product ________.
A. if it is a drug
B. if it is a device
C. if its consumers make complaints
D. if its distributors challenge FDA’s authority
29.The Relaxacisor is mentioned as_______.
A. a product which was designed to produce electricity
B. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case
C. a successful advertisement of a beauty product
D. an example of a quality beauty product
30. The author intends to __________
A. make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promises
B. show the weakness of the law on product safety
C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful
D. introduce the organization of FDA
C
Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect.
But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled-----to $1.01 per 6
pack----smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to
kick the habit.
This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They’ve studied the effect of
state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive.
Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.
The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message.
Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they
deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are
addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.
In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation; a pack of
Marlboro Light Kings cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. In Charleston, S.C.,
where the 7-bent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price was $4.78.
The influence is obvious.
In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys----13.8%,
far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in
Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.
Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high
tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans “who
choose to smoke.”
That’s true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of
low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place. As for today’s adults, if
the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut
their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.
31. The text is mainly about___________.
A. the price of cigarettes B. the rate of teen smoking
C. the effect of tobacco tax increase D. the differences in tobacco tax rate
32. What does the author think is a surprise?
A. Teen smokers are price sensitive.
B. Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.
C. Tobacco taxes improve public health.7
D. Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise.
33. The underlined word "deter" in Paragraph 3 most probably means .
A. discourage B. remove C. benefit D. free
34. Rogers’ attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of .
A. tolerance B. unconcern C. doubt D. sympathy
35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.
B. Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill.
C. Future generations will be hooked on smoking.
D. Adults will depend more on their families.
D
An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being
attributed to ( 归 因 于 ) the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for
knowledge about how the financial system works.
Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this
January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A
spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at
A-level were also up.
Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St
Andrews University, said his first-year lectures---which are open to students from all
departments---were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.
“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would
like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my
teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done.” He said.
University applications rose 7% last year, but there were rises above average in
several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers
in the pubic sector, which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.
A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do
more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had
asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not 8
understand it themselves well enough to explain.
Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said: “It’s possible that one good
thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and
better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”
36. Professor John Beath’s lectures are .
A. given in a traditional way B. connected with the present situation
C. open to both students and their parents D. warmly received by economics
37. Careers in the public sector are more attractive because of their .
A. greater stability B. higher pay C. fewer applications D. better reputation
38. In the opinion of most parents, .
A. economics should be the focus of school teaching
B. more students should be admitted to universities
C. the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened.
D. children should solve financial problems themselves
39. According to Hocking, the global economic crisis might make the youngsters
.
A. wiser in money management
B. have access to better equipment
C. confident about their future careers
D. get jobs in Child Trust Funds
40. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Universities have received more applications.
B. Economics is attracting an increasing number of students
C. College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty
D. Parents are concerned with children’s subject selection.
七选五
Stop Negative Talk
“I’m so fat,” one of your friends says. The girl next to her joins in, “Well, I hate
my hair today.” Without thinking, you respond: “No, you are not fat! I am fat. And 9
my hair is flat and boring.” 41
It is easy for people to engage in self-critical conversations, and once it starts
there is often pressure for you to join in. 42 Maybe it is because “just talking”
feels harmless. But before you know it, those opinions flow out of your conversations
and into your life, where they start eating away at your self-respect.
43 When you start talking about yourself in a negative way, you are not only
affecting your self-respect, but your friends’! When you criticize yourself, your
friends might think you have the same standards for them. You have heard that it is
important to treat others the way you want to be treated, but there is also value in
treating yourself like you treat your friends. If you wouldn’t criticize your friend for
the same thing, chances are that you are being too hard on yourself. So, don’t start it.
But what if someone else starts? For example, your friend feels insecure about
how well he played in his soccer game, so he puts himself down: “I suck at soccer.”
44 Ask him, “Do you really think that? Why?” Maybe he is actually upset about a
comment someone made, or is just getting down on himself over one bad play.
Whatever it is, talking through the real issue will help him more than slipping into
another negative talk.
It is important to talk to your friend about your insecurities, but make sure you
are not talking about them just to put yourself down. 45 Instead of just focusing
on the negative, talk about what makes you and your friends beautiful and
unique—including what you love about your body and what you have accomplished.
When you show yourself love, you set yourself as an example, and everyone benefits
from you positively.
A. Negative talk affects self-respect.
B. Criticizing yourself helps nobody.
C. But why do we hesitate to praise ourselves?
D. But why is it acceptable to talk so negatively?
E. All it takes is just one comment and the negative talk starts.
F. It is better to resist negative conversations and create more balanced ones.
G. Before everyone puts himself down, see if you can get to the root of the problem.10

短文改错:
Last Saturday I went to the library as usually. At about noon, I was enjoying my
reading near a lake while suddenly I hear someone crying for help. I went up to see
what was happening. I was shocking to find a little child struggling in the water in the
distance while many people were standing by without doing anything. Without any
hesitation, I had pushed through the crowd as I took off my coat, but jumped into the
water quickly. I managed to reach him and carried him back to safety. To his great
relief, the kid saved.
I was proud with what I had done. I hope everyone can give the hand when
someone else is in need.
