第2题
The free market economy is no doubt the primary stimulus that has led to the United States' dominance in the world economic community. By naturally rewarding those producers that excel, excellence is actively encouraged and those that inefficiently produce goods or services are eliminated; thus, the economy becomes a self-sustaining and self-maintaining machine, consistently and constantly achieving the best possible result.
The free market economy is entirely based on the principle of supply and demand. Under this concept, consumers decide for themselves which companies will stay in business, voting with their dollars by spending on those businesses they consider most worthy. By doing so, those companies that are best liked, or most in demand, are granted the privilege of supplying the goods and services that consumers pay for. In that sense, efficiency is achieved. For those companies that best perform. to the expectations of consumers are left prosperous in the market, while their less efficient counterparts simply die out of the market, starved of the dollars of consumers who simply prefer not to buy their products.

I will tell you what literature is! No—I only wish I could. But I cant. Gleams can be thrown on the secret, inklings given, but no more. I will try to give you an inkling. And, to do so, I will take you back into your history, or forward onto it. That evening when you went for a walk with your faithful friend, the friend from whom you hid nothing—or almost nothing...! You were, in truth, somewhat inclined to hide from him the particular matter which monopolized your mind that evening, but somehow you contrived to get on to it, drawn by an overpowering fascination. And as your friend was sympathetic and discreet, and flattered you by a respectful curiosity, you proceeded further and further into the said matter, growing more and more confidential, until at last you cried out, in a terrific whisper: "My boy, she is simply miraculous!" At that moment you were in the domain of literature.

第4题
To get a chocolate out of a box demands a considerable amount of unpacking: the box has to be taken out of its paper bag; the plastic wrapper has to be torn off, the lid opened and the packing paper inside removed; the chocolate itself then has to be unwrapped from its own piece of paper. Similarly a pot of face cream comes surrounded by layers of paper, waged inside a cardboard box, and the whole thing wrapped tightly in plastic.
It is not only luxuries which are wrapped in this way, With so many goods now produced centrally and sold in supermarkets it is becoming increasingly difficult to buy anything from nails to potatoes that is not already done up in plastic or paper.
The wrapper itself is of no interest to the shopper, who usually throws it away immediately. Useless wrapping accounts for much o the 31 pounds in weight of rubbish put out by the average London household each week. So why is it done？ Some of it, like the wrapping on meat, is necessary, but most of the rest is simply competitive selling. This is stupid. Packaging is using up scarce energy and raw materials and ruining all the time. One big firm reports that its glass, cans and paper have all gone up by 30 per cent in the last couple of months, while plastic has increased by 50 percent and all these prices are still rising. This seems as yet to have had surprisingly little effect on the packaging practice of manufacturers.
Little research is being carried out on the costs in energy and materials of other possible types of packaging. Just how practical is it, for instance, for local authorities to save waste paper and re-manufacture it as egg-boxes？ Would it be cheaper to plant another forest to produce new paper？
One reason for the unorganized behavior. of everyone concerned is probably the varied nature of the packaging industry. So many people, with so many different interests of their own, are affected that it is extremely hard to reach any agreement on what should be done. Also, packagers say that preserving forests and preventing waste is not their concerns.
The shopper gets rid of the wrapper immediately because______.
A．he is careless.
B．it adds to the weight.
C．it is difficult for him to handle.
D．it has no importance for him.

改错：Many of the home electric goods which are advertised as liberating the modern women tend to have the opposite effect
Many of the home electric goods which are advertised as liberating the modern women tend to have the opposite effect, so they simply __1__change the nature of work instead of eliminting it. Machines have a certain novelty value, as toys for adults. It is certainly less __2__tired to put clothes in a washing machine, but the time saved does __3__not really amount too much: the machine has to be watched, the __4__clothes have to be carefully sorted out, stains removed by hand,water changed, clothes taken out, aired and ironed. It would be more liberal to pack it all off to a laundary and not necessarily __5__more expensive, since no capital investment is required.Nevertheless, if you really want to save time you do not make __6__cakes with an electric mixer, you buy one in a shop. If one compares the image of the woman in the women's magazine to the goods advertised __7__by those periodicals, one realizes how useful a projected image can be commercially.A careful balance has to be struck: if you show a labor-saving device, follow it up with a complex recipe on the next page; on __8__any account hint at the notion that a woman could get herself a __9__job, but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness, emphasize __10__the creative aspect of her funtion as a housewife.

第7题
In general, American food is mild tasting; most Americans do not season their food to any great degree. Salads are very popular and are served all year, especially in the summer. Waiters tend to assume that everyone drinks coffee, but simply tell them if you want something else. If a waiter says "Now or later？" he means "Do you want coffee with your meal or after it？" Many, but certainly not all, Americans drink coffee or tea with their meals. Either way is perfectly acceptable. When dining out, you can ask for tea, milk, "coke", wine or beer if you prefer. Restaurants can only serve beer, wine or other alcoholic drinks if they have a license, that is, permission from the local government to serve alcoholic drinks. Normally, when eating in a private home, it is considered good manners to take whatever is served and not to ask for something different, unless the hostess gives you a choice.
The main course served in American meals is usually meat, fish, or poultry, but rarely is more than one of these served as a first course, however.
Most Americans eat breakfast and lunch quickly unless it is social, business, or family occasion. The evening meal, however, is usually longer and a time for the family to gather together. Rushing through day-time meals is part of the fast pace in America. Another reason for rushing through day-time meals is that many people who eat breakfast and lunch in restaurants are usually crowded with people waiting for a place so that they, too, can be served and return to work at the proper time. So each one hurries to make room for the next person. As with busy people everywhere there is a real difference between a meal that is eaten in a hurry and one that can be enjoyed with friends during one's leisure.
In America, salads are very popular and are served especially ______.
A．all year
B．in the summer
C．at lunch
D．at dinner

Save Money by Understanding Why You Spend It
To save money, you simply need to spend less than you earn. It is easy to
say, but why is' it so difficult to do？ To answer this question, you need to
study the factors that keep you spending all the time.
Easy access to credit
For most people, this is the biggest reason for overspending. People can
easily get a credit card, simply by filling out a short form. in a bank or
jumping on their website. They can borrow money from banks to go shopping, even
buy cars or houses. When you aren't physically handing someone money or a check
for a purchase, you will feel you are spending free money or you aren't spending
money at all. Try using cash to get your spending under control.
Misusing credit cards
A credit card is an interest free short-term loan. When used as planned, this
can be a powerful financial tool. The problem is when you begin to let the
balance continue from month to month. If you make a $200 purchase on your credit
card and find out that at the end of the month you can't afford to repay the
full amount, this is when the high interest rates on the cards really begin to
hurt you. That is no way of saving money.
Giving in to temptation
We all need to enjoy life, but don't waste your financial future for a few
guilty pleasures today if they aren't in your budget. When you know that you
can't afford an activity, don't give in. Instead, invite your friends over for a
home dinner party, game night, or some other activities where you can still
enjoy time together, but without breaking your budget.
() 26. For most people, easy access to credit is the biggest reason for
overspending.
() 27. Using credit card is an effective way to get your spending under
control.
() 28. You have to pay for the credit card loans by the end of each
month.
() 29. Using a credit card to pay is spending free money.
() 30. Always pay attention to your budget while spending.

第9题
1 Every year thousands of people are arrested and taken to court for shop-lifting.In Britain alone, about HK ＄ 3,000,000's worth of goods are stolen from shops every week. This amounts to something like HK ＄150 million a year, and represents about 4 per cent of the shops' total stock. As a result of this "shrinkage" as the shops call it, the honest public has to pay higher prices.
2 Shop-lifters can be divided into three main categories: the professionals, the deliberate amateurs, and the people who just can't help themselves. The professionals do not pose much of a problem for the store detectives, who, assisted by closed circuit television, two way mirrors and various other technological devices, can usually cope with them. The professionals tend to go for high value goods in parts of the shops where security measures are tightest. And, in any case, they account for only a small percentage of the total losses due to shop-lifting.
3 The same applies to the deliberate amateur who is, so to speak, a professional in training. Most of them get caught sooner or later, and they are dealt with severely by the courts.
4 The real problem is the person who gives way to a sudden temptation and is in all other respects an honest and law-abiding citizen. Contrary to what one would expect, this kind of
shop-lifter is rarely poor. He does not steal because he needs the goods and cannot afford to pay for them. He steals because he simply cannot stop himself. And there are countless others who, because of age, sickness or plain absent-mindedness, simply forget to pay for what they take from the shops. When caught, all are liable to prosecution, and the decision whether to send for the police or not is in the hands of the store manager.
5 In order to prevent the quite incredible growth in shop-lifting offences, some stores, in fact, are doing their best to separate the thieves from the confused by prohibiting customers from taking bags into the store. However, what is most worrying about the whole problem is, perhaps, that it is yet another instance of the innocent majority being penalized and inconvenienced because of the actions of a small minority. It is the aircraft hijack situation in another form. Because of the possibility of one passenger in a million boarding an aircraft with a weapon, the other 999,999 passengers must subject themselves to searches and delays. Unless the situation in the shops improves, in ten years' time we may all have to subject ourselves to a body-search every time we go into a store to buy a tin of beans!
Why does the honest public have to pay higher prices when they go to the shops？
A．There is a "shrinkage" in market values.
B．Many goods are not available.
C．Goods in many shops lack variety.
D．There are many cases of shop-lifting.

Dear Sirs,
I am writing to your office to attempt to determine why I have encouraged so many obstacles to receiving my proper monthly social allotment.【1】The trouble occurred ten months ago and has actually gotten worse, making extremely difficult for me to meet normal financial obligations.【2】The first problem which I had to deal was simply getting a monthly check from you, without having to wait for four or five extra weeks for it. Then two of the checks that have arrived【3】made out for the wrong amount, giving me fifty dollars fewer than I should have received.【4】Another check was mailed to me at an address, which I moved more than two years ago.【5】My letter of inquiry, which I sent to the Los Angeles Office of the Social Security administration, never brought the answer, and when I finally telephoned them I was able to talk with an arrogant clerk【6】from the tone of his voice I could tell that he didn't want to be bothered with me. The final blow is a letter received from your office yesterady in which you state that【7】my allotment is being discontinued, your records indicated that I am legally dead.
Apart from this letter of protest I have at least one other recourse:【8】filing suit against the Social Security Administration, that I would prefer not to have to do.【9】Howevers I am asking you to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that【10】from now on I receive my social security benefits with further obstacles. This letter also testifies that I'm indeed not dead, legally or otherwise.
Sincerely yours,
Thelma Spencer
