阅读理解。      Today, we have a world economy. Canadian businesses and workers must compete with businesses
and workers in other countries.
      Every year, more Canadian factories are closing or moving. They cannot compete with factories in
countries where wages (工资) are low. In the future, there will be fewer jobs for factory workers in
Canada.
      Many Canadian businesses are trying to spend less money. For example, they are hiring more part-time
workers and more temporary (临时的) workers. They are employing fewer permanent (永久的) full-time
workers. More services, fewer goods. Canada"s economy is changing. Businesses are making fewer goods
(for example: shoes and radios). But Canadian businesses are providing more services to people. 
      In the future, there will be more jobs for people who provide services. For example: sales people, waiters
and waitresses, home health care workers, bakers and cooks.
      There will be fewer jobs for other kinds of workers (for example: farmers, miners, fishermen, forestry
workers and factory workers). Many new jobs will be in small businesses with 20 or 30 employees.
Technology machines are changing the way people work.
      Business are using many machines (for example: computers and robots). Businesses will need fewer
workers. And some jobs will disappear. Many grown-ups will have to go back to school or train for new
jobs. Workers will not stay in the same job for their lifetime. The population of Canada is changing.
      Today, many Canadians are in their 30s and 40s. They need goods and services. As they get older, they
will need different goods and services.

阅读理解。      The spread of worsening international financial crisis has seriously affected world economic growth and
stability. The ongoing financial crisis is rarely seen in history. Countries and organizations have taken measures
in response, and we hope these measures will produce the desired results soon. Countries in Asia and Europe
are an important force for international financial stability and world economic growth. I suggest that we make
greater efforts in the following aspects: 
      First, countries should run their own affairs well. In the face of the crisis, it is important for leaders to act
in the fundamental and long-term interests of the people and use necessary monetary and regulatory tools to
regain market confidence as soon as possible and maintain economic growth.
      Second, set up coordination (调和) and cooperation among governments. The financial departments,
central banks and financial regulators around the world should closely follow the development of the crisis
and study its trend and impact. 
      Third, strengthen regional financial dialogue and cooperation. Members of the Eurozone have reached
agreement on the basic principles to tackle the financial crisis. We in Asia are also exploring the possibility
of expanding the size of bilateral currency swap (互惠外汇信贷) arrangements under the 10+3 framework.
      Fourth, push forward the reform of the international monetary and financial systems. The present crisis
has exposed the weaknesses in the existing international financial system and governance structure. It
important to do three things in this regard: first, increase the say and representation of developing countries
in international financial organizations; second, expand the space of the regulation of the international financial
system, and third, establish a reasonable global financial rescue mechanism (机制). 1. According to the passage, members of the Eurozone reached agreement on ______. [     ]
A. how to deal with the financial crisis
B. how to regain market confidence
C. how to maintain economic growth
D. how to study the crisis trend 2. Facing the crisis, the first thing the countries should do is ______. [     ]
A. to closely follow the development of the crisis.
B. to study the trend and impact of the financial crisis.
C. to do their own business well.
D. to increase the say and representation of developing countries in international financial organizations. 3. Which word has the same meaning with the underlined word maintain? [     ]
A. mainly
B. keep
C. increase
D. decrease 4. According to the passage, which of the following sentence is false?[     ]
A. Global issues included energy, food, the environment etc.
B. There has been no financial crisis more serious than this one in history.
C. Facing the crisis, the first thing the countries should do is to do their own business well.
D. Asian and European countries are an important force for the world economic growth. 5. The passage mainly talks about ______. [     ]
A. What we should do during the financial crisis.
B. We should draw serious lessons from the financial crisis.
C. Countries and organizations have taken measures in response to the financial crisis.
D. We should set up coordination and cooperation among governments.

阅读理解。    During the American War of Independence, women played an active part in fighting in three ways. Firstly,
some women worked as nurses in the field hospitals, taking care of wounded soldiers; some worked as cooks
in the army; many women acted as water carriers. When necessary, all these women, who had many chances
to see how the men fired guns, could take the place of the wounded men. The second way that women served
in the Army was to fight side by side with their men comrades. Although women were not supposed to fight as
soldiers in battles, when the Army was badly short of soldiers and when women were really good soldiers, who
would be against women fighting in battles? Thirdly, from city streets to country villages, many able women
were in charge of the work to supply food, clothing and medicine for the Army, and when the situation was
dangerous, they called on all the women to take up arms to defend their own homes. 1. What is probably the main reason that women were permitted to fight in the war? [     ]
A. Women were braver than men in battles.

阅读理解。     When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from
China.
     When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and
jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now. 
     Still, her answer surprised me: "Green tea."
     As long as I can remember she didn"t even drink Indian tea. 
     I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her
brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all
illnesses.
     At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange
country. 
     How things change! And how soon! Now every town of any size seems to have a "China Market".
And everyone is talking about China. The govemment of Indin has planned to send a team to China to
see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign
investment (投资) and such a step would "work wonders as it did for China". 
     But it"s a two-way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone
to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence
in China. 
     No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about
US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments. No wonder,
my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian (中印) century as the two
countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year. But what is still a wonder to me is
my mother drinking Chinese tea. 1. The reason why the writer"s mother asked for Chinese green tea is that _____.[     ]
A. she had a son working in China
B. she believed it had a curing effect
C. she enjoyed Chinese products
D. she was tired of Indian tea 2. The underlined part "it"s a two-way street" in Paragraph 8 probably means _____. [     ]
A. The exchanges between Indian and China benefit both
B. China and India have different traffic rules
C. Tea trade works wonders in both India and China
D. Chinese produces are popular in both China and India 3. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.[     ]
A. the author was concerned for his mother"s health
B. the author was in favor of drinking Chinese green tea
C. the author was surprised at China"s recent development
D. the author was curious about the growth of India"s IT industry
