阅读理解     Since the pre-historic times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger, shelter or search for a mate, he has always controlled the situations to his advantage. Probably this might be the reason why we humans are the most developed of all living species on the earth. As we climbed the steps of development, we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking -- we forgot that we have stopped thinking
ahead of time.
     If you are hungry, what do you do? Get a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet. Just like your
stomach, even your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about
your dream lover, favorite star and many such things. So it silently began to care about your needs and
never let itself grow. When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. This might be the
reason why we all sometimes think "What happens next?", "Why can"t I think?" "Why am I always given
the difficult problems?" Well, this is the result of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.
     Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through reading. Now why reading and not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to
develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading. You have innumerable number of books in
this world which will answer all your "How to?" questions. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed, if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never
thought in your wildest dreams! This is nothing but creativity. More the number of books you read, your
mind will open up like never before.1. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To show humans are the most developed.
B. To introduce the topic of the passage.
C. To indicate people have different needs to satisfy.
D. To explain why people need to read.2. What does the author mean by saying "When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full
stop."A. When mind keeps growing, creativity fully stops.
B. When freedom is lost, creativity gets a full stop.
C. When mind stops growing, creativity fully stops.
D. When growing is lost, creativity gets a flail stop.3. The paragraph following the passage is probably about ______.A. how the pre-historic man feeds his mind
B. what other advantages reading brings
C. how to develop creativity
D. how to satisfy your mind by watching TV4. The author tends to tell us ______.A. reading can satisfy your all needs
B. reading can result from creativity
C. reading can feed your mind
D. reading can realize your dreams

Labor force is defined as being the total number of people who are available to work and earn 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.

A. people who are available to work and earn income B. self-employed people only C. people who are looking for an employment D. employers who create job opportunities

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

"You are going to the United States to live? How wonderful! You are really lucky." Perhaps your family and friends said similar things to you when you left home. But does it true all the time? Is your life in the new country always wonderful and exciting? Specialists say that it isn"t easy to get used to life in a new culture. "Culture shock" is the term specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. "There are three stages of culture shock, "say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result enjoy their life more. There are some obvious factors m culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems the telephone, post office, or transporta- tion maybe difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult. Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image. Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation (迷惘). This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create and escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience are the long term solutions to the problem of culture shock.
1. When people move to a new country, they ______.
A. will get used to their new surroundings with difficulty B. have well prepared for their new surroundings C. will get used to the culture of the country quickly D. will never be familiar with the culture of the country

3. According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, ______.
A. the fewer difficulties you may have abroad B. the more difficulties you may have abroad C. the more money you" 11 earn abroad D. the less homesick you" II feel abroad
