These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently 1 as "white-collar workers' for the simple reason that they 2 wear a collar and tieto go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often 3 to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers.

He will soon be working in an office. He will earn much 13 than he used to, but he feels that his rise in 14 is well worth the loss of money.

AFor years, fans of cookbook author Madhur Jaffrey have complained to her that Indian cooking seems too complicated. As a result, Ms. Jaffrey decided to createa cookbook filled with some of the most simple Indian dishes she could find or create. The result is "At Home With Madhur Jaffrey: Simple, Delectable Dishes From India,Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka," published last month by Knopf. "My whole idea with this book is what I do with my everyday food," she says. "I cook every day, and I don't take several hours out to cook a meal. lndian food has so many simple dishes."To compile the dishes for "At Home," Ms. Jaffrey not only collected lots of simple recipes,but she also tested ways to simplify cooking techniques and reduce the number of steps involved in each dish. Dishes that previously required addinga variety of spices in multiple steps, for instance, were changed to allow home cooksto mix all the spices together at once in a marinade.For an eggplant recipe that typically requires browning the eggplant in advance, she skipped the step altogetherand discovered the dish tasted just as good.For We. Vegetarian Thanksgiving series, Ms. Jaffrey offers four simple ways to add Indian flavol, to your holiday table. She offers sweet and sour butternut squash or pumpkin, as well as eggplant in a delicious sauce. A simple aromatic corn will wow your guests. And, for an unusual substitute for cranberry sauce, consider her Bengali-style tomato chutney."You get all the authentic taste as you would get with traditional Indian cooking, but you've spent much less time doing it," she says.See the recipes from Ms. Jaffrey below.26.

It was the second such march this month. The demonstrations were mostly peaceful, but here in London at least eight people,including two police officers, were injured in pockets of violence, and three protesters were arrested on suspicion of committing violent acts and stealing. Some protesters surrounded an empty police ear, breaking its windows and trying to tip it over.And a group of demonstrators repeatedly tried to break through a police eordon(警戒线) in front of Whitehall, which houses many government buildings, throwing placards, smoke bombs and other projectiles even as officers held them back with night sticks.In other cities, including Brighton, Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester,Nottingham, Sheffield and Warwick, university students -- in some eases joined by students from secondary schools who also walked out of class -- marched through town centers or fried to occupy university buildings.Several dozen students occupied part of the Bodleian Library at Oxford University, and there were reports of occupations at other universities.The demonstrators were angry at government proposals to help reduce the country's budget by giving less money in direct grants to universities, and allowing the universities in turn to charge tuition of up to $14;400 a year, from the current cap of $5,624.Much of their anger is directed at the Labor Party, who promised to cancel tuition entirely during the general election campaign this past spring. Now in a coalition(联盟) government with the Conservative Party, the Labor Party is backing the new proposals, saying that British universities need,to be able to charge more to remain internationally competitive.Until thelate 1990s, British university students did not pay tuition, and the issue is highly sensitive.The number of protesters, in London was much smaller than it was two weeks ago, when 52,000 marched through the streets and the demonstrations turned violent as the day wore on. The police, attuned to criticism that they were ill prepared the last time, deployed many more officers.31.

As jewelry designers, we need to go to a lot of shows. We can't pack lightly and usually bring about foursuitcases filled with our work.Most of our stuff is made from heavy materials and metals. So part of the routinefor us when we fly is getting stopped by security. Our jewelry sets off the alarms,and we've become accustomed to arriving early to go through private screenings. Mostof the time, it's not troublesome.However, on our recent trip to a Paris trade show, we were stopped at securityand asked to empty our bags. One of the agents walked over to another agent and they started whispering to each other. Both gentlemen came back, and one of them thentold us that it seemed that we were carrying a very dangerous object.My sister and I just said, "Huh?" Of course, we were a little concerned, thinkingthat maybe someone put something dangerous in one of our bags when we weren't looking.One of the agents then started to unpack our bags. I kept asking what he was looking for and then the object in question finally appeared. It was our Cosima necklace. It's a piece of jewelry, with large, metal triangular spikes.My sister and I looked at each other and breathed a huge sigh of relief. We started laughing and explained to the two male agents that it was just a necklacefrom our collection, not a weapon of mass destruction. They thought we were lying,and one agent kept repeating that he believed it was a weapon.I tried to explain that we were jewelry designers going to a trade show, andthis was simply a piece from our collection. But the agents didn't buy it. Then afew women guards came over to assist. One of the women guards was holding an earringup to her ear and another was trying on a ring. Apparently, they liked our stuff.It was only at this point that the male guards gave up. And I think they alsogot tired of listening to a bunch of women talk about jewelry. They let us through.We took the names of the women agents and sent them a piece of jewelry whenwe got back to say thanks.36. When the object in question finally appeared, the writer and her sister feltA. anxiousB. relievedC. excitedD. frightened37.

In a trial conducted in the United States and five other countries, healthy gay men who took the pill daily were 44 percent less likely to get infected than those given a placebo(安慰剂）Meanwhile, the United Nations AIDS program announced that at least 56 countries have managed to stabilize or slow down the rate of H.I.V. infections. Fewer people are becoming infected With H.I.V. and fewer people are dying of AIDS than at the peak of the epidemic.The problem is that people are still becoming infected twice as fast as they can be put into treatment programs. Five years ago, fewer than 500,000 people were receiving AIDS drugs; now five million are. But another 10 million should be receiving treatment and aren't getting it because donor nations and the suffering countries find it too expensive to pay the bill. Now that the same drugs used for treatment look like a valuable tool to prevent infections, the financial shortfall will only grow worse.Further studies are under way to confirm whether the pill works as well as initial studies suggest, to evaluate long-term safety, and to assess what groups might benefit most.41. The trial was conducted in countries.A. FourB. FiveC. SixD. Seven42. What is the writer's attitude towards the treatment to AIDS?A. ConcernedB. IndifferentC. NegativeD. Desperate43. Further studies are neededA. to evaluate long-term safetyB. to assess who might benefit mostC. to confirm whether the pill is as efficient as initial studies suggestD. all the above44. We can know from the passage thatA. sufficient money is needed to deal with AIDSB. people are still becoming infected as fast as they can be put into treatment programsC: more people are becoming infected with H.I.V than beforeD. the drugs to prevent infections are used wildly now45. Which is the best title for this passage?A. How to fight against AIDS.B. Advances and challenge on'fighting against AIDS.C. Help the patients with AIDS.D. Be away from AIDS.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
