Christmas is long gone. and Valentine’s Day is a distant memory. That means it's a slow time for jewelers, and a good time for you to make a purchase. Whether you’re out shopping for gold, or silver, here fife a few things you need to know:

What determines price?

The purity of the metal is one of the elements that determines the price. Gold purity is indicated with a stamp of 10K, 14K, 18K, or 24K. And different countries have their own standards. For example, for a piece to be considered gold in the US, it must be at least 10K. In Britain and Canada: 9K. In Italy and France: l 8K. Anything over l 8K is really too soft for everyday wear. That’s why jewelry stores in the US sell mostly 14K.

How much can you expect to pay?

That depends on the weight of the metal and the gemstone(寶石). So keep that in mind, especially when buying online. To keep yourself from getting ripped off, ask yourself the following:

●How long has the company been around?

●What is its return policy?

● Is the jewelry featured on the website visible from all directions?

● Is the company transparent with the gram weights and the size of the gemstones?

Yellow gold? White? Rose?

Yes, it's confusing, and while this is largely a personal decision, there fife a few things to keep in mind. For starters. white or rose gold costs about l 0% more than yellow gold. If you want the “l(fā)ook for less”, consider gold. plated jewelry. “Gold plated” and “gold overlay” mean the same thing and guarantee a thicker layer of finish than “vermeil” which is a flash finish that is thinner and less consistent, but more affordable. Buy vermeil finished pieces you want for a season or two just to follow the fashion. For pieces you want to wear for a lifetime, solid gold is best.

What about sterling silver(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)純銀)?

Sterling silver has been。an alternative for white gold during the difficult economy, and while it used to be more popular with just the younger these days it has much more mass appeal. So much so that retailers are now offering fine gemstones with silver--something you used to see only with gold.

Keep in mind that in the US. the sterling silver standard is 92.5% real silver. Don’t buy it if there isn’t a “925” stamp on it. And keep in mind that the lower price you’re paying for silver means more maintenance. To keep silver jewelry from becoming less shiny, consider keeping a piece of chalk in your jewelry box.

1.According to the passage, the underlined phrase “getting ripped off” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_______”.

A．being charged      B．being cheated      C．being affected      D．being attracted

2.Which of the following is relatively good for only wearing a short time?

A．A 14K necklace.                        B．A gold-plated ring.

C．A vermeil ear ring.                       D．A gemstone necklace.

3.We call infer from the last paragraph that silver jewelry should be kept ________

A．in a dry place      B．in a cold place      C．in a wet place      D．in a hot place

4.The author writes the passage mainly to ________.

A．encourage young people to buy fashionable jewelry

B．tell people the best time to purchase gold and silver

C．introduce the real value and popularity of gold and silver

D．inform people of the factors to consider in buying jewelry

The south and east of the Great Lakes is famous for the huge amounts of snow it receives. When the snow starts to fall every year,　people start discussing the phrase “l(fā)ake-effect snow”.

Lake-effect snow which is influenced by the movement of cold air over the relatively warm water of the Great Lakes often comes in late autumn and early winter. Because of the at least 20 degrees’ difference between the lake water and the overrunning air, it’s easy to form huge amounts of snow.

As the cool air crosses the water of Great Lakes, the lowest levels of the atmosphere begin to warm and pick up moisture. This newly warmed atmosphere is lighter than the cold air above it, so it starts rising. As the changed air continues to climb higher and higher, it finally meets much colder atmosphere which changes the moisture into water drops and ice, forming clouds. After this course repeats a number of times, the clouds become heavier and heavier, and then they are changed into snow and fall down.

The most important point that decides the amount of snowfall is the direction of the wind. If the wind runs perpendicularly（垂直地）across the lake, there won’t be plenty of time for clouds to develop. However, if the wind runs in the opposite direction, clouds will form easily. The longer the cold air travels over the lake, the more moisture it is able to produce, which leads to a greater amount of snow.

The largest amount of the lake-effect snow was found across the U.P. of Michigan, the northwestern Pennsylvania and the far southwestern and northwestern New York, which are all along the south or east of the Great Lakes. It has been over 100 inches of snowfall in a winter season.

1.The level of the snowfall depends on ________.

A．the size of the lake

B．the direction of the wind

C．the temperature of the lake

D．the strength of the wind

2.From the passage, we can learn that ________.

A．clouds are easy to produce with the help of the perpendicular wind

B．cold air always falls down and picks up moisture to form clouds

C．the temperature of the lake water is the same as the overrunning air’s above it

D．the longer journey of the cold atmosphere can make a grater amount of snow

3.The passage is mainly about ________.

A．the influences of the lake-effect snow for local people

B．the weight between moisture and atmosphere

C．how the phrase “l(fā)ake-effect snow” comes in New York

D．how the lake-effect snow forms around the Great Lakes

The Antarctic is actually a desert. It’s the only continent on the earth without a river or lake.

The Antarctic is all ice all year round. The warmest temperature ever recorded there is zero, at the South Pole. Explorers used to think that a place so cold would have a heavy snowfall. But less than ten inches of snow falls each year. That is less than half an inch of water. The times that much water falls in parts of the Sahara.

The little snow that falls never melts. It continues to pile up deeper and deeper year after year and century after century. When the snow gets to be about 80 feet deep it is turned to ice by the weight of the snow above it.

1. Antarctic is called a desert because it _______.

A. is sandy       B. is cold       C. has little water     D. is high

2. The snow there is very deep because it _______.

A. never stop falling          B. piles up year after year

3. The best title for the passage is ______.

A. Waterfall at the South Pole        B. The Antarctic ------An Ice Desert

Drink drivers could be prohibited from driving under the influence if new technology from Nissan is introduced.

The Japanese car maker has developed a new odor (氣味) detection system designed to prevent drivers from operating a car if they are over the legal limit. The system works by using a series of sensors (傳感器) to detect the level of alcohol the driver has consumed.

A high-sensitivity alcohol odor sensor is built into the gear stick (變速桿), which is able to detect the presence of the driver’s palm as he or she attempts to start driving. If the alcohol level detected is above a pre-determined limit, the system automatically locks the transmission(變速器), immobilizing the car. A voice alert is also issued via the car navigation system telling the driver that he or she is over the limit.

Extra sensors are also placed in the driver and passenger seats and a warning is issued if these sensors detect the presence of alcohol in the air inside the vehicle cabin.

While still in the developmental stage the concept of drink driving detectors being built into cars has generally been welcomed by many drivers.

Nissan said the technology is part of a project aimed at halving the number of fatalities (災(zāi)禍) and serious injuries in Nissan cars by 2015 compared to 2005 levels.

1.The detection system works _______________.

A．by detecting the smell of alcohol in the vehicle cabin

B．by measuring the volume of the alcohol in vehicle cabin

C．by detecting the weight of the school in the vehicle cabin

D．by using a car navigation system

2.What do we know about the detection system?

A．The detection system is still in the developmental stage.

B．The new technology from Nissan has been introduced.

C．The driving detectors are being built into cars.

D．The system has already been used in some car companies.

3.The driver’s attitude toward the detection system is that of _______________.

A．a(chǎn)nnoyance

B．welcome

C．unconcern

D．doubt

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Nissan will release drink-proof cars.

B．Traffic accidents will be decreased.

C．A project halving the number of accidents.

D．A new odor detection system.
