to the US as slaves in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth
century, They worked on farms, especially the large farms in the
southern states. Slowly they became a necessary part of the economic
system (经济体系) of the South.
Slaves did not have the right of people;according tO the law,
they were a" thing" which belonged to the person who bought them.
They had to obey the orders of their owners without question. They
were not allowed to learn to read ; their owners feared the educated
slaves would begin to think about the injustice of the system and
would learn to struggle for their freedom. Slaves had to work long
hours in very unhealthy conditions. Their owners had complete power
over them. They could be bought and sold like animals. At the
slave markets, black children were separated from their parents and
never saw them again. Slave owners had the right to punish the
slave who broke the rule or was against the system. Slaves were often
beaten by their owners or killed. After the Civil War, one free
slave reported that his owner killed an older slave who was teaching
him to read. In theory, an owner who treated a slave badly could be
punished. In practice, however, the taw meant nothing.
The opposition to slavery began very early in the history of the
US-in 1671-but little progress was made until the beginning of
the nineteenth century. By 1804, slavery was illegal in the northern
states. But it continued and even grew, in the southern states, which
depended on cotton for their economic health. Slavery ended in the
South only after the Civil War. For blacks,however,the end of slavery
was only a beginning, the beginning of a long and difficult struggle for
true justice.
B. The opposition to slavery in the United States.
C. Slavery in the United States.
D. The right of black Americans.
B. Because their owners were afraid that books would give them advanced ideas.
C. Because they did not have enough time to read.
D. Because they were so poor that they could not go to school.
B. The US government paid much attention to freedom.
C. There were some laws that successfully protected the rights of slaves.
D. The opposition to slavery in the United States began in the seventeenth century.

those in these Lexus sedans for customers free of charge, if problems are found," said Yang Hongjian, a
spokes- woman of Toyota"s China representative office.
The expected recall will affect Lexus LS430 sedans made in Japan from July 29, 2003 to January 14,
2004, the representative office said in a statement. Toyota has not received complaints from Chinese
customers, according to the statement. The move will be part of Toyota"s global recall of 18,200 Lexus
LS430s. It will be the third car recall in China in two weeks. Although automobile recall is a common
practice in developed markets, it remains new to Chinese customers. The Chinese government published
long-awaited automobile recall rules on March 15, which will be officially carried out at the beginning of
October.
China"s auto market is forecast to reach 10 million units by 2010. Automakers, especially Chinese
producers, will face greater pressure from automobile recalls, which could be very costly sometimes, and
should be in full preparations, according to the expert. The Japanese carmaker sold 1, 549 Lexus
vehicles on the Chinese mainland during the first five months of this year, according to Yang. Lexus sales

even be for sale in an illegal Website(非法网站). Websites offering cheap goods and services should
be regarded with care Online shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the
goods they thought they bought.
The thieves then go shopping with your card number-or sell the information over the Internet.
Computer hackers(黑客)have broken down security(安全) system, raising questions about the safety
of card holder information.
Several months ago, 25,000 customers of a CD universe, an online music retailer(批发商), were
not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Website after the retailer
refused to pay US $ 157,828 to get back the information.
Credit-card firms are now fighting against online fraud. Master-card is working on plans for Web
only credit-card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping online. However ,
there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.
Ask about your credit-card firm"s online rules: under British law, cardholders are responsible for the
first US$ 78 of any fraudulent spending. And shop only at secure sites: send your credit-card information
only if the Website offers advanced secure system.
If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The
Website address may also start http://--the extra "s" stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card

their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and
even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit
cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations,
whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the
horizon----it"s already here.
While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too.
Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of
records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep
track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving.
Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers
record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and
staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional
campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future and which
to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production
process itself.

never seem to become much better off! Prices are rising continuously. This condition is named one
of inflation(通货膨胀);the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less
valuable. We have grown used in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could
be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications (迹象)
are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real word our money incomes
go up at the same rate as prices, one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When
money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money-stability(坚固性)of value. It is
no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes unsuitable standard of deferred(延期的)
payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset (财产),so people try to get rid of money as quickly
as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates (刺激) consumer spending, and prevents saving.
B. are actually no better, if not worse, in our financial condition
C. can afford to buy more of the things that we want
D. have managed to keep prices down
B. employment no longer becomes a problem
C. people can always find better paying jobs
D. money keeps losing its value

D. inflation causes no problem
B. save money
C. hold on to money as a dependable asset
D. spend money and not bother to save
