noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the
countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural(乡下的) areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two
large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area
begins to grow. There is usually a_residential_area nearby, too. The families of these workers need
schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main
offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see
many huge skyscrapers(摩天大楼)and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way
to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the
city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will
see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
B. which is suitable for living in
C. where people can do business
D. which is near a city center
B. Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life.
C. Because they mainly want to find work there.
D. Because they are sure of having a better life there.
B. People usually work and live in the business district.
C. A business district usually lies in the city center downtown.
D. Nearly every major city has its own business district.
B. but live in the suburbs of the city
C. and live in another city
D. but live in rural areas
B. will surely continue in the future
C. may not continue in the future
D. has now stopped already

a few coins, do you hurry on, not __1__ what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly __2__ some
money? What should our attitude towards beggars be? There can be no question that the world is
full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come
from. It seems __3__ not to give some money to beggars.
__4__, most of the world"s great religions order us to be openhearted and __5__what we have
with those less lucky than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in
the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help,
is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their __6__.
Firstly, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually
make a good __7__ from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil. __8__,
there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is
the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for
losing one"s sense of __9__ and selfdependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be handled by the government rather
than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department
and __10__ help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion: there are various __11__and we must deal with them

bank account from their partner.While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in
a relationship,in truth it may just be a form of financial protection.With almost half of all
marr
iages ending in divorce,men and women are realizing they need to be financially savvy,regardless of whether they are in a relationship.
The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult,even more
so when children are involved.The lack of permanency in relationships,job and family life
may be the cause of a growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner,
in other words,an"escape fund"．
Margaret"s story is far from unique.She is a representative of a growing number of
women in long－term relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings.Every
month on pay day,she banks hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her
husband.She has been doing this throughout their six－year marriage and has built a nest egg
worth an incredible$100,000.Margaret says if her husband found about her secret savings
he"d be hurt and would take this as a sign that she wasn"t sure of the marriage."He"d think it
was my escape fund so that financially I could afford to get out of the relationship if it went
wrong.I know you should approach marriage as being forever and I hope ours is,but you
can never be sure."
Like many of her fellow secret savers,Margaret was hurt in a former relationship and has
since been very guarded about her own money.
Coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad.Take
Colleen for example,who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to
her partner."I decided to open a savings account and start building a nest egg of my own.I
wanted to prove to myself that I could put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy
day."
B．days are getting harder and harder
C．women are money sensitive
D．financial conflicts often occur
B．secure
C．wise
D．simple
B．She was once divorced.
C．She is going to retire.
D．She has many chi
ldren.B．privacy within marriage should be respected
C．everyone can save a fortune with a happy marriage
D．financial disclosure is not necessarily bad
B．Love is what it"s worth
C．Banking honesty
D．Once bitten,twice shy
At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand
on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are
taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly
on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another"s hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off
in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to
the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doing
it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to
go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager
can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today"s parents
have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier
for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to
classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is
collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don"t care to share at once with your
classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-with the people who
respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
B．readers to try to be popular with people around
C．parents to try to control and guide their children
D．people to try to understand and respect each other
B．following the popularity trend
C．walking a new way on their own
D．turning to their friends for help
B．the dazzling music world
C．the parental care and love
D．the popularity wave in the society
B．Instructive.
C．Influential.
D．Authoritative.
and follows his/her own path?
B．He/She loses good friends.
C．He/She faces all kinds of criticism.
D．He/She gains valuable popularity.

The American President Theodore Roosevelt almost succeeded in simplifying English spelling.In 1906,Andrew Carnegie started the Simplified Spelling Board.He was one of the richest men in the United States of America.The board"s plan was to make the spelling of words nearer to the way they sound.For
example,the word "though" would be spelt "tho" and "through" would become "thru"．Other people on the board were Melvil Dewey,the head of the New York libraries,and Professor Brander Matthews of
Columbia University.They explained their idea to President Roosevelt,who thought that it was indeed
logical.He immediately asked the government printer to use simplified spelling in all government letters.
But people didn"t like the change,even if it made life easier.So the new simpler spelling was not popular.
More importantly,when the American politicians (政客) discussed the plan,they did not like it either.
Because Roosevelt did not want to have any problems with the politicians,he changed his mind and told the printer to go back to the old way of spelling.
Since then no one in any government has dared to simplify English spelling.However,people do simplify some words,mainly in advertisements.For example,we often see "tonite" instead of "tonight" and "thru"
instead of "through"．
B. there are many mistakes in English words
C. lots of words are spelt in many different ways
D. sometimes the same sounds have different spellings
B. Melvil Dewey.
C. Theodore Roosevelt.
D. Brander Matthews.
B. Supportive.
C. Uncertain.
D. Doubtful.
B. changed the way the words sound
C. has been used widely for over a century
D. was first used in US government letters
B. proved quite successful
C. won wide support
D. influenced English greatly
But a recent survey has showed that such ambitions lack the required support and remain just that-dreams.
The Shanghai Municipal Employment Promotion Centre poll of 1,276 graduates in several universities and colleges in the city, released last Friday, showed 59.78 percent of respondents considered the possibility
of setting up a company or at least a small store. "But they just stop at the "thinking stage"," it stated.
Respondents put the top reasons for not going it alone down to a shortage of investment and a lack of
business opportunity. They also listed lack of business experience and social networks, the need for
advanced study and objections from family members as factors that stood in their way.
More than 90 percent of the interviewees said they would rather take up a job after graduating and then consider starting their own business two or three years down the road.
Guo Bin, a senior student in Shanghai International Studies University majoring in English, decided he
wanted to be his own boss last year. But he is looking for a job first. "If I fail to find a satisfying job, I
would like to establish a company in exhibition services," Guo said.
The Shanghai native has some relatives working in a local printing plant. With their help, Guo hopes to produce exhibition brochures at a relatively low price. He is also confident that his English language skills
can help him do well in the industry.
"Social networking is an important factor leading to business success," Guo said.
Guo said that the shortage of graduate jobs is the main reason driving more university students to set up a business right after their graduation.
Jiang said the university sets up a business guide team made of government officials and prof essionals.
They regularly give training courses to students who show an interest in having their own business. The
parents of university graduates are more willing to help their children start up alone. The survey showed "
Once you win the support of your family, you have won half the battle," Guo added.
B. Graduates can only dream of being boss
C. The ambitions of fresh graduates
D. The story of Guo Bin
B. The shortage of business experience.
C. Less skilled English language.
D. Their family members" objections.
after graduation?
