We
come by business naturally in our family. Each of the seven children in our
family worked in our father’s store. 21
we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than 22 and making a sale.
One
lesson stands out in my 23 . It was shortly before Christmas. I
was in eighth grade and was working in evenings, straightening the toy section.
A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was 24 a brown torn coat with dirty
sleeves. His shoes were scuffed and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy
looked poor to me ― too poor to
25 to buy anything. He
looked 26 the toy section, picked up this item
and 27 , and carefully put
them28 in their place.
Dad
came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His steel blue eyes 29
and the dimple（酒窩）in
his cheek stood out as he asked the boy what he could do for him. The boy said
he was looking for a Christmas 30 to buy his brother. I was impressed that
Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his 31
and look around. He did.
After
about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy 32 , walked up to my dad and said,
“How much for this, Mister?”
“How
much you got?” Dad asked.
The
little boy held out his hand and 33
it. His hand was creased(起皺)
with 34 lines of dirt from holding his 35 too tightly. In his hand 36
two dimes, a nickel and two pennies―27 cents. The price on the toy
plane he’d picked out was $3.98.
“That’ll
just 37 it,” Dad said as he 38
the sale. Dad’s reply still39 in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the
store, I didn’t notice the dirty, worn coat or the single torn shoelace. What I
saw was a happy child with a

A
small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That’s the finding
of a study of Dutchmen in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50
percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per
day compared to those who never ate fish.
The
Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific
support to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits,
particularly to the heart. Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States,
with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But
previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in
cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart
disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about
14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption
average more than 3 ounces
For
20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate
no fish. At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about
two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty
fish.
During
the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths
were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than
those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless
of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol levels.
41．The
passage is mainly about .
A．the high incidence of
heart disease in some countries
B．the changes in people’s
diet
C．the daily fish
consumption of people in different culture.
D．The effect of fish
eating on people’s health
42．We
can infer from the passage that there are fewer heart disease deaths .
A．in the countries with
good production of fish
B．in the countries of the
yellow-skin race
C．in the countries with
high consumption of fish
D．in highly-developed
countries
43．The
underlined part “This relationship” may refer to the connection between and
the
level of heart disease.
A．the amount of fish
eaten

C．the kind of fish
eaten
D．people of different areas

The
Internet is a way of life for US college students, with research showing them
to be one of the most connected groups.
A
recent study by Harris Interactive and 360 Youth found that 93 percent of
American college students visit the Internet, and this market is expected to
grow from 15.2 million in 2003 to 16.4 million in2007.
That
is slow but could be the result of the already high number of college Internet
users.
About 88 percent of American college students own a computer, and
more than half have broadband connections. Furthermore, 76 percent own cell
phones and 36 percent use their mobile devices to visit the Internet.
Study
findings are that 42 percent go online mainly to communicate socially, and 72
percent of college students check emails at least once a day, with 66 percent
using at least two email addresses.
The
most popular online social activity is forwarding messages to friends or family,
with 37 per cent of college students saying they do so.
The
study also looked beyond the Internet surfing habits and into the buying habits
of this group, and found them responsible for more than US＄210 billion in sales last year
alone.
College
students have learned how to spend their money, with 93 per cent saying low
prices were important when shopping.
The
study also showed that 65 percent make loan payments, 41 percent of freshmen
have a credit card; and 79 percent of seniors have a credit card.
A
significant number of charges on those credit cards are likely to be for
entertainment and leisure expenses.

"Tear’em
apart!" "Kill the fool!" "Murder the referee（裁判）!"
They
are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they
are made, they may seem innocent（無(wú)害的）enough. But let's not kid ourselves.
They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real
bloodshed（流血）.Books have been written about the
way words affect us. It has shown that words having certain meanings may cause
us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual
humanistic behavior. I see the term "opponent" as one of those words.
Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.
The dictionary meaning of
the term "opponent" is "enemy":“ one who opposes your
interests." Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to
treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may control one's mind,
and every action, no matter how bad, may be considered correct . I recall an
incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a
time out for a glove change because he didn't consider them wet enough. The
player rubbed his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then shouted, "Are
they wet enough now?"
In the heat of battle,
players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without
considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their
way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent's intentional and
illegal blocking by hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the
course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense?
It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which is different from normal
behavior.
Therefore,
I believe it is time we promoted the game to the level where it is by setting
an example. Replacing the term “opponent” with “ associate” could be an ideal
way to start.
The dictionary meaning of
the term “associate” is “friend”；“companion.”
Think it over！You may soon see and possibly feel
the difference in your reaction to the term "associate' rather than
"opponent."

First
it was jogging. Then aerobics（有氧運(yùn)動(dòng)）. Not too long ago, Americans discovered race walking.
Now
Americans are into a new fitness craze. They’re taking up bicycling. Over hills
and down mountainsides and across quiet country roads, Americans are busily
rolling along.
The
number of adults who ride for fitness is around 17 million, an increase of 70
percent over four years ago. Twice as many women as men are coming to the
sport. Americans are falling in love with biking because it has speed, the
benefits of jogging and beautiful scenery.
Bicycling
is a very appropriate sport, which is important to people who injured their
knees while jogging or whose joints are aching from aerobics. And biking is a
real awakening for people who have been into race walking in the past. Race
walking is as dull as watching paint dry.
The
most popular kind of bicycle for people who are new to the sport is the
mountain bike, which has a fixed frame with wide tires and upright handles.
Mountain bikes also have many gears to make it easier to climb hills. About 5
million Americans ride mountain bikes, compared with 200,000 who rode them only
five years ago.
Costs
range from about ＄130 for a bottom-of-the-line
bicycle to more than ＄2,700 for an expensive bicycle.
Mountain
biking has attracted some people who race down the sides of mountains like a
bat out of hell. But most riders ride slowly and they rarely venture far from
home.
The
biking craze has brought an unexpected profit to clothing and bicycle accessory
makers. Last year, bikers paid ＄630 million for biking clothes and accessories.
Bicycling seems likely to continue its fantastic growth.

D．twice as many women as
men
55．What
does the underlined word “bottom-of-the-line” mean?

own a hand-made bicycle that can cost more than 2,700
Many
children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance(pocket
money). The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when
financial mistakes are not very costly.
The
amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish
differs from family to family, Timing is another consideration. Some children
get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
In
any case, parents should make clear what , if anything, the child is expected
to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their
allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard
way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not
to offer more money until the next allowance.
The
object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending
and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger
costs, like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the
subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay you child for work
around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
Paying
children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even
provide an understanding of how a business works.
Allowances
give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money.
They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend
it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
Saving
helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. You have to cut
costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their
allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing . Many banks
offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance.
A
saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound
interest .
Compounding
works by paying interest，So, for example , one dollar invested at two percent interest for
two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money
will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem
like a lot, But over time it adds up.
57．Giving an
allowance, parents should consider all the following EXCEPT
A．how much the child should get each
time
B．whether the child has made a budget
C．where the
money really goes
D．how often a
child can get it
58．According to
the passage, how can a child learn to have a budget?
A．Through their own experiences. B．Through parents’ instruction.

Opinions are
divided on the problem about whether we should buy products promoted by a star.
Some students
say that they prefer to buy products promoted by a star because most of them
care about the quality of the products they are going to advertise. Besides,
buying those products is a way to support the stars they like.
However, others
express their opposite opinions. They think what some stars really care when
they make an advertisement is money but not the quality of the product. In
addition, the product that a star advertises is not necessarily suitable for
everyone.
In my opinion,
we should be cool and sensible while choosing a product. The main aspect we are
supposed to consider is not the advertisement or the star but the quality of
products and their real usefulness in our daily life.
