The market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them. If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market. When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas station and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market. The market may be something abstract（抽象的）. But for each person or business who is making and selling something, it is very concrete. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won’t be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn’t want you to do.

Shanghai—Shanghai officials are welcoming a new national-water law that they say will help them protect the upper reaches of the Huangpu River and other water
ways in Shanghai. The new law, which came into effect yesterday, updates a law enacted （颁布）in 1988 that focused on supplying water to needy areas, but didn’t pay a great deal of attention to environmental protection. The previous law, for example, gave local authorities power over waterways in these areas, but didn’t pay attention to the sources of those rivers and lakes. So, Shanghai was responsible for cleaning and protecting the lower reaches of t he Chang Jiang River but had no say in how the river’s upper reaches, which feed into Shanghai, are maintained. The new law will make it easier to control the amount of waste that ends up in local rivers and reduce inefficient use of waterways, said Zhang Jia-yi, director of the Shanghai Water Affairs Bureau, on the bureau’s website commenting on law yesterday. Zhang said the new law focuses on the efficient(高效的) use of water sources and emphasizes the harmonious(和谐) development of China’s population, its economy and environment. Zhang also emphasizes the city will crack down on companies and individuals that pollute the city’s water sources. The bureau sets up a special force to investigate(调查) water pollution in March. So far this year, the bureau has published more than 3 million in fines on various polluters, Zhang said.
54. The best title for the news report should be ______.
A. A new Law Is Born
B. A New Water Law to Protect Rivers
C. Is it Necessary to Protect the Rivers
D. Make Full Use of Water Sources
55. The underlined phrase “crack down on” means _____.
A. bring up carefully
B. speak highly of
C. deal with seriously
D. destroy completely
56. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The law in 1988 is suitable for the new requirements.
B. The new law will stop waste being poured into the Chang Jiang River.
C. A lot of polluting units have been fined this year.
D. The new law and the old one are the same in protecting the environment.
57. We can infer from the passage that _____ .
A. the problem of protecting the water sources wasn’t paid much attention to
B. no laws were carried out to manage the water sources in Shanghai.
C. the new law mainly emphasizes how to make use of the water sources.
D. companies or ind ividuals that polluted the water sources didn’t get fined.

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and, old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may
do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child——things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do。

he is repeatedly being told not to do something, or being punished for what he has wrongly done. When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
58．According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that .
A．life for a child is fairly easy B．a child is always loved whatever he does
C．if much is given to a child, he must do something in return
D．only children are interested in life
59．The main idea of the passage is that .
A．life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains
B．young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
C．childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life
D．one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life
60．The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss .
A．examples of successful young men B．how to build up one’s position in society
C．joys and pains of old people D．what to do when one has problems in life

My name is Nick Vujicic. I was born without limbs (四肢), and doctors have no medical explanation. As you can imagine, I was faced with many difficulties. My father thought I wouldn't live for very long, but tests proved that I was a healthy baby boy
just with limbs missing.
Understandably, my parents had strong fears of what kind of life I'd be able to
lead. The law in Australia didn't allow me to study in a main-stream (主流) school because of my physical disability(身体缺陷). However;，my mother fought for the law
to be changed, I was one of the first disabled students to go into a main-stream school.
I liked going to school, and just try to live life like everyone else, but it was in my early years of school where I had uncomfortable times of feeling not being accepted because of my physical difference. It was very hard for me to get used to, but with the support of my parents, I started to develop attitudes (态度) and values which helped me go through these difficult times， I knew that I was different but on the inside I was just like everyone else. There were many times when I felt so low that I wouldn't go to school. I was encouraged by my parents and tried starting to make friends by just talking with some children. Soon the students realized that I was just like them.
I am now twenty-three years old and have completed my university study. I am also
a speaker and love to go out and share my story wherever possible. I have developed talks to encourage students to face their problems. Writing several best-selling books has been one of my dreams and I hope to finish writing my first by the end of the year. It will be called "No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!"
31. How was Nick when he was born

D. He was dying
32. Where did Nick get support when he was feeling sad at school
A. From his classmates.
B. From his best friend.
C. From his parents.
D. From his brothers.
33. What is one of nick's dreams
A. To give a talk to the disabled.
B. To finish his university study
C. To travel to as many places as possible
