AOne of the major problems in our economy（经济）is inflation（通货膨胀）, a situation in which prices are going up faster than salary（工资）. Thus, a person has to work more hours to pay for the same thing.For example, let’s say that this year a loaf of bread costs $1.00 and average salary in the United Sates is $10.00 per hour. That means a person could earn enough money to buy a loaf of bread in one-tenth of an hour, or six minutes. Then, halfway through the year, the price of the bread goes up to $1.25, while salary stay the same. That means that a person now has to work one-eighth of an hour—seven and a half minutes to buy the same loaf of bread.No w let’s say that at the end of the year, salary go up to $11.00 per hour, but the price of bread goes up to $1.50. Now a person has to work more than one-seventh of an hour—over eight minutes—to buy loaves of bread, employees will have less money left over to buy other things, Inflation means that the same money buys fewer things and everybody’s standard of living goes down, even if salaries are going up.Some kinds of inflation are worse than others. Moderate inflation does not distort (祖曲)relative prices or incomes seriously. Galloping inflation happens rapidly, say at a rate of 100percent or more within a year. And then there’s hyperinflation—inflation so serious that people try to get rid of their currency （货币）before prices rise further and make the money worthless. Times of hyperinflation are usually characterized by social and political disorder.56. The passage mainly wants to .A. list major economicB. discuss something about inflationC. explain why bread prices increaseD. state the types of inflation57. Why is “ a loaf of bread” repeatedly mentioned?A. To express dissatisfaction with the price of breadB. To show the effect of price changesC. To compare bread with other foodsD. To explain social and political disorder58. What happens when prices go up but salaries remain the same?A. The government will do more about the economyB. Workers might lose their jobs if they show dissatisfactionC. People will save money rather than spend it.D. People must work longer to buy the same things59. Which of the following belongs to the type of moderate inflation?A. People try to get rid of their currencyB. Inflation occurs at a rate of 100percent in a yearC. Incomes and relative prices rise slightlyD. There is social and political disorderBLet’s Go Bug Hunting More OftenKids spell love T-I-M-EOne fall afternoon I rushed home from the university where I taught. I prepared a simple dinner, threatened（恐吓，威胁）my nine-year-old daughter, Christi, to hurry and finish her homework “or else,” and told Del, my husband, not to leave his dusty shoes on the good carpet any more. I then hurriedly cleaned the entry-way because a group of respectable ladies were coming by to pick up some good used clothing for a worthwhile cause; and then later a graduate student would be at our house to work on a very important thesis（论题）—one that I was certain would help a lot with research.As I paused to catch a breath, I heard Christi talking with a friend on the telephone. Her words went something like this: “ Mom is cleaning house—some ladies we don’t even know are coming by to pick up some old worn-out clothes... and a college student is coming out to work on a thesis... no, I don’t know what a thesis is (I)just know Mom isn’t doing anything important… and she won’t go bug（小虫）hunting with me.”Before Christi and hung up the phone, I had put on my jeans and old tennis shoes, persuaded Del to do likewise, pinned a note to the door telling the graduate student I ’d be back soon, and set out the box of used cl othing on the front porch（门廊）with a note on it that Del, Christi and I had gone bug hunting.60. The first paragraph mainly wants to tell us that the writer .A. was a good housewifeB. was really busy every dayC. showed too little care to her daughterD. showed too much love for her work61. What made the writer change her idea?A. Her daughter’s phone callB. Her sudden understanding of loveC. Her talk with her lovely daughterD. Her daughter’s friend’s advice62.

Parents should do more bug hunting with childrenD. Parents should spend more time with their childrenCEveryone knows that eating too much junk food is not good to our health. Yet, what is it about junk food that is so completely irresistible(无可抗拒的)? For one thing, it’s everywhere. From chips in fast food restaurants to candy in supermarkets, junk food always seems available. Thankfully, science is now providing new clues to help us reduce snacking.Make friends with dainty(讲究的) eaters.Studies have found that people tend to increase or reduce the amount of food they eat depending on what their companions are taking in.See happy movies… and always get the small er bag of popcorn(爆米花).According to some experts, people eat up to 29% more popcorn if they are watching a sad or serious movie, compared to when they are watching a comedy. Viewers consumed almost 200 calories more when snacking from a large bucket, as opposed to when given a medium-sized container.Eat breakfast.Nutritionists have gone back and forth（来来回回）about the question of how much to eat in the morning, but new studies suggest that consuming a good breakfast is a must. Surveys on long-term weight-loss show that two key factors in keeping weight down are eating breakfast and exercising.Divide your food and conquer overeating.Any kind of dividing your food into portions slows down your eating. Any kind ofmarker makes you aware of what you’re eating and of portion size. Researchers advise reallocating（再分配）snack foods into small plastic bags. It sounds simplistic, but it works.64.Why do people eat too much junk food though it is bad for our health?A. Because it’s available here and there.B. It’s delicious from chips to candy.C.

I discovered Google 5 years later. Today, I use the Internet all the time.When I was a kid, I never imagined that I would one day send messages using a computer that fits in my backpack. Your experience is probably very different.“Kids are now living in a virtual(虚拟的) world,” says psychologist Patricia Greenfield. She’s director of the Children’s Digital Media Center at the University of California, Los Angeles. Scientists have begun to wonder whether the Internet is good or bad for kids.Nearly 90 percent of 12-to-17-year-olds in the United States use the Internet, according to one recent survey, and about half of these kids use it every day. They visit chat rooms and send e-mails. They go to Websits to get information for homework.As digital technology influences the lives of young people more and more, scientists have begun to wonder: Is the Internet good or bad for kids?“It’s impossible to answer that question because the Internet involves so manythings,” says Justine Cassell, a media expert at Northwestern University. “They include networked computer games, news about politics, instant messaging and e-mails to your grandmother.”To add to the uncertainty, more and more studies show that the online world can be helpful in some ways and dangerous in others. It can be both an educational resource and, for example, a hiding place for kidnappers.“The bottom line,” Greenfield says, “is that the Internet is a very powerful tool that can be used equally for everyone.”68．What percentage of American 12-to-17-year-olds use the Internet every day?A．About 45%.
