A twenty-
year rusty car stopped, and a smiling man who claimed to be a taxi driver reported he was re ady to take us swimming．
"How much? "I asked．
"Five dollars, "he said．
His name was Vincent Clarke, who did not appear to have any guns or knives．
"Sounds fine, "said Kate．She started to get in the taxi．
"Just hold on, "I said．"I want to ask Vincent a question or two．"
"Ask me anything, "he said．"I have no secrets．"

"Let's go, "said Kate．She got in．
We drove for about three minutes and parked at a beach, and while Kate swam, Vincent an d I talked as Christmas music played on his taxi radio．Some time later, Kate retimed to the t axi．Then Vincent drove us to the power plant, and a university, and then we sped through a poverty-

"Giving our foreign visitors a friendly welcome is absolutely vital to our economy, "said San die Dawe, chief executive officer of the agency．About 30 million people visit Briain each yea r, spending about 16.6 billion pounds （26billion）．The 2012 Olympics is likely to bring in a n additional 2.1 billion pounds（ 3.3 billion） in tourism revenue（收
入）, according to a government estimate．

24. Rats are dirty, cunning and evil-
in Chinese culture, at least．But a study published in early December in the journal Science s uggests that rats can in fact be helpful, caring animals and can empathize（同
情） with their rodent （啮齿动物） friends．
Researchers from the University of Chicago kept two rats together for two weeks so that th ey could get to know each other．After this, one of the rats was put into a small clear cage, w hich could be opened from the outside．The other rat was left to run freely outside the cage． The free rat seemed worried when it saw its friend was trapped．It cireled the eat digging and biting it．After a few days it finally figured out how to open the door．It released its frie nd and appeared to be excited, running happily after the trapped rat．
Researchers then did the same experiment on more rats．They found that the rats learned to open the cage faster if there was another rat trapped in it than if it was empty．By the en
d of th
e experiment, only five out o
f the 40 rats had learned to open an empty cage．Twenty-three out of 30 rats has learned to open the cage to free another rat．
To test just how"carring"a rat could be, researchers then has the rats choose whether to"re
scue"a trapped rat or a piece of chocolate．This time the rats were equally likely to free a rat as they were to free the sweets．Inbal Ben-
Ami Bartal led the study．"The most shocking thing is they left some of the chocolate for the other rat, "he said．
Scientists have always known that empathy（共鸣）
is not unique to humans．It has been proven that apes also feel the emotions of other apcs．However, said Jean Decety, one of the co-
authors of the study, "this is the first evidence of helping behavior triggered（激发）
by empathy in rats．"
（1）What is the main point of the first paragraph？________

B Five percent of the ra ts learned to open an empty cage．
C Smart rats can learn to release another rat in a few hours．

（3）When a rat and a piece of chocolate were trapped in different cages，________．
A the rats outside couldn't decide which to release first．
B more rats wanted to free the ir friend．
C some of the rats even shared the chocolate with their friend．
D the rat
s opened the cages faster to free the other rat than to free the chocolate．
（4）Which of the following statements is TURE？________
A This is the first time that rats have been found to have empathy．
B Rats are similar to human beings in many ways．
C More evidence might be needed to prove this idea．
D Scientists believe that only humans have empathy．
25. Many of us assume that the child of one of the richest men on earth must enjoy endless privilege．But 52-year-
old Peter Buffett, a son of billionaire investor Warren, doesn't think so．
"People who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth can fall victim to what my father h as called a silver dagger （匕
首） in your back, "Buffett told Reuters in an interview．"It leads to a sense of entitlement （权力） and a lack of personal achievement．"
Entitlement, he believes, is the worst thing ever．"Anybody who acts as if they deserve so mething‘just because…'is a disaster, "he said．In his new book, Buffett says that the only rea
d inheritanc
e handed down from his parents was a philosophy（人生观）: Forge（努力建立）your own path in life．It is a belie
f that has allowed him to follow his own passions, establish his own identity, and achieve his own successes．
Did his father ever want him to go into finance? "It was encouraged for a moment when I w as open to the idea, he told Reuters．But as he grew older, it became clear the financial worl
d was not speaking to my heart．"
His father accepted his choice to become a musician．He began his musical career by writi ng music for TV commercials．He then released his own albums．
"I am my own person and I know what I have achieved in my life, "he told Reuters．"This i sn't about wealth or fame or money or any of that stuff, it is actually about values and what y ou enjoy and finding something you love doing．"
Along with the book, Buffettt has begun a"Concert & Conversation"tour in which he plays t he piano, talks about his life and warns against consumerist（消费主义）
culture and damaging the environment．
"Economic prosperity may come and go; that's just how it is, "he writes in the book．"But values are the steady currency that earns us the all-important rewards．"
（1）What does"It"in the second paragraph refer to？________
A Being born to a wealthy family．
B A silver spoon in the mouth．
C A life of a top i nvestor．
D The victim of a silver dagger in the back．
（2）What does the article tell us？________
A Peter Buffettt is a born musician．
B Peter Buffeltt enjoys a bugle privileged life．
C A wealthy family can benefit a child but also spoil him or her．
D peter Buffertt was fo rced by his parents to take over their business．
（3）The article claims that Peter Buffettt owes his achievements largely to________．
A his passion for music．
B the good education he received．
C his great determinat ion．
D the values he learned from his parents．
（4）Which of the following statements would Peter Buffettt probably agree with？________ A Wealth is there to enjoy to the fullest． B A person's value lies within． C many pe ople are fooled by economic prosperity． D Young people should choose their own philo sophy，whatever their parents believe in．
26. A person has a comparative advantage at producing something if he can produce it at lo wer cost than anyone else．
Having a comparative advantage is not the same as being the best at something．In fact, so meone can be completely unskilled at doing something, yet still have a comparative advantag e at doing it!How can that happen?
Let's get some more vocabulary．Someone who is the best at doing something is said to ha ve an absolute advantage．Lance Armstrong （自行车环法七冠
王） has an absolute advantage at cycling．For all I know, Lance Armstrong may also be the f astest typist in the world, giving him an absolute advantage at typing, too．Since he's better at typing than you, can't he type more cheaply than you? That is, if someone has an absolute advantage in something, doesn't he automatically have a comparative advantage in it? The an swer is no!If Lance takes time out from cycling to do all his own typing, he sacrifices the large income he earns from entertaining fans of the Tour de France （环法自由车
赛）．If, instead, his secretary does the typing, the secretary gives up an alternative secretari al job-or perhaps a much lower salary as a cyclist．That is, the secretary is the lower-
cost typist．The secretary, not Lance Armstrong, has the comparative advantage at typing!T
he trick to understanding comparative advantage is in the phrase"lower cost．"What it costs someone to produce something is the opportunity cost-
the value of what is given up．Someone may have an absolute advantage at producing every single thing, but he has a comparative advantage at many fewer things, and probably only on
e or two things．
（1）The underlined part in the second paragraph means a comparative advantage________．A is equal to an absolute advantage． B doesn't necessarily mean the best skill at somet hing． C is not completely based on an absolute advantage． D can fully reflect one's ability for work．
（2）The theory of comparative advantage can remind us of the old saying that________．
A there must be a use for one's talent．
B where there is a will，
there is a way． C all roads lead to Rome． D action speaks louder than words．
（3）If Lance Armstrong types today for 60 dollars，
but he gives it up and attends the Tour de France for 100 dollars，
his opportunity cost is________dollars．
（4）B．60．C．100．D．160．60．According to the author，
when we cooperate with somebody，we should________．
A compare the absolute advantage．
B consider the time of cooperation．
C find th
e comparative advantage first． D neglect the opportunity cost．
