__1__
Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a
large meal. If that"s not possible, they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list.
__2__
Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money, shoppers must
prepare lists wisely in order to save. _3_ Many special buys are announced through the local
newspapers, so buying the "grocery issue" is worth the investment(投资). However, it"s important to
remember that many newer, more expensive products first offered through coupons(优惠券) may not
yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy.
_4__ Once at the store, the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules. The
shopper should not stay longer than necessary, because bills go up each minute the shopper is in the store. So, setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill. __5_ If the grocery list is a short one,
some shoppers choose to use the small handheld basket instead of the roomy grocery cart.
A. A carefully planned list should include in season produce and any items on sale or discounted through
coupons.
B. Of course, the shopper should stick strictly to the shopping list and resist the temptation to buy
additional items.
C. People who are full are less tired and more likely to buy what they want.
D. Now that the shopper has completed the grocery list, it"s time to leave for the store.
E. You should keep your shopping list carefully in case you can exchange it for coupons.
F. Most shoppers are less persuaded to buy extra goods when they are not hungry.
G. Shopping when not hungry, sticking to a grocery list, and following a few simple rules will
cut down the grocery bill.

举一反三
hear people say that you can"t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you"ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we"re the apple of our parents" eyes, and that our Grandmas think we"re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the
Olympics. But sometimes it"s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that
believing in yourself is a challenge. It is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind"s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you
act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from
the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should
be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That
is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don"t allow doubts
to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can"t move past one
flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your
primary task. If you think you"re silly because you aren"t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you"re
weak because you can"t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you"re dull because you
don"t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn"t mean
it"s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and
to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those
you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat(拍)
yourself on the back, you"ll know you"re well on your way. Good luck!

income. This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment, so it includes
employers and the self-employed. Labor is one of the country"s resources which can be combined with
other resources to produce the goods and services wanted by the community.
Although the size of the workforce depends a great deal on the size of the total population, there are
several other influences which also affect it. The age distribution (分布) of the total population has a very
marked effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high proportion of very young people
or of those too old to work, then the available workforce would be lower than if there were a balanced
spread age distribution. If the population naturally grows rapidly, the number of births greatly exceeds
(超出) the number of deaths then as a total population increases proportion of the workforce declines.
Sometimes a population is described as aging which means that the birth rate is either falling or
growing very slowly, and as people retire from the workforce there are insufficient numbers of young
people entering it to replace those who are leaving it. In that situation the population is top-heavy with
older people. So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid
increase in births or a falling birth rate.
The age distribution of the population has several important effects on the economy. If the population
is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the
number entering the workforce, this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a
reasonable level of social services to the retired group. If the aged are to be cared for in special homes,
finance must be available for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total
population, then the government tax revenue (税收) is relatively low and either the government has less
money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.
1. In the passage "labor force" is defined as ___________.
A. people who are available to work and earn income

A. a natural growth of population leads to a balanced workforce
B. a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforce
C. the larger the population, the higher the proportion of the workforce
D. the workforce will be lower, if the population has a balanced age distribution,
3. When a population is said to be aging,___________.
A. there are more people retiring than those entering the workforce
B. the birth rate must be growing
C. there should be an oversupply of workforce
D. There are more people entering the workforce than those retiring
4. The population which is top-heavy with older people ___________ of a country.
A. leads to the high rate of unemployment
B. results in low tax on the workforce members
C. affects employees" incomes
D. places pressure on the economy
example of the process by which pins were made in England.
One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, and a fifth gives
it a head. Just to make the head requires two or three different operations. The work of making pins is
divided into about eighteen different operations, which in some factories are all performed by different
people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them.
Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4,800 pins a
worker. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they
certainly could not have made twenty pins in a day and not even one.
There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people
can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this, but he also took it for granted that the division of labor is
itself responsible for economic growth and development and it accounts for the difference between
expanding economies and those that stand still. In fact, the division of labor adds nothing new, and it
only enables people to produce more of what they already have.
B. introduce the division of labor into England
C. understand the effects of the division of labor
D. explain the causes of the division of labor
B. increased the possible output of per worker
C. increased the number of people employed in factories
D. improved the quality of pins produced
B. stress how powerful the individual worker was
C. show the advantages of the division of labor
D. stress the importance of increasing production
B. was an important development in methods of production
C. finally led to economic development
D. increased the production of existing goods
othes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men"s clothes tend to button
from the right, and women"s from the left. Considering most of the world"s population-men and
women-are right-handed, the men"s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do
women"s clothes butto
n from the left?History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th
century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women"s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men"s shirt button from the right
made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand
would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.
Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women"s shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women"s shirts that buttoned
from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have
to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward
to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since any one who noticed that would
believe they were wearing men"s shirts.
1. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?
A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.
B. It is different for men"s clothing and women"s.
C. It works better with men than with women.
D. It fails to consider right-handed people.
2. Women"s clothes still button from the left today because _____.
A. adopting men"s style is improper for women
B. manufacturers should follow standards
C. modern women dress themselves
D. customs are hard to change
3. The passage is mainly developed by_______.
A. analyzing causes
B. making comparisons
C. examining differences
D. following the time order
However difficult you find it to arrange your time, it will pay off in the long run if you set aside a
certain part of the day for studying－and stick to it. __1__ But don"t forget to make sure that you
have enough left for recreational activities or simply to be "with" yourself: reading a novel or watching
a television programme.
As part of your weekly schedule, it is also advisable to consider exactly what you have to do in that
week, and make sure that you handle the most significant tasks first. __2__
On a physical level, make sure you have an area or space for studying. __3__ If you always study
in the same place, preferably a room of your own, you will find it easier to adjust mentally to the activity
when you enter that area. You should have everything that you might need at hand.
Make sure that all the physical equipment that you use, such as a desk, chair etc. is at good height
for you. If you use a personal computer, there are plenty of guidelines available from the movement on
angles, lighting and the like. __4__
If you are working on topic your teacher has set, but finding it hard to concentrate, it may be that you
actually need to take your mind right off it for a period of time. __5__ After a period away from the
test, having not thought about it at all, you may return to it refreshed and full of ideas.
A. It"s wise to leave the easier or less urgent areas of your work until later.
B. It"s all too easy to read something and then forget where it came from.
C. Consult these and avoid the typical student aches and pains.
D. "Airing the mind" can work wonders sometimes.
E. Make use of equipment that is available to you.
F. It is best to make a weekly schedule.
G. Don"t do it just anywhere.
