                                                  People unhappy with the rich: Poll
     There is growing dissatisfaction toward rich people, according to a new online poll. The poll by the China
Youth Daily in collaboration(與…合作) with Sina.com has highlighted the apparent discontent (不滿) over the
country's widening income gap.
     Nearly 8,000 people filled in online questionnaires last week, and when asked to use three words to describe
society's rich, the top responses were "extravagant" (奢侈的), "greedy" and"corrupt".
     About 57 percent of those polled said that"extravagant" was the best word to describe the rich, followed
closely by "greedy".
      Ironically, despite their dissatisfaction, 93 percent of those polled wished they could be rich too, and that
richer people should be"socially responsible".
     Some 33 percent of respondents also praised rich people for being"smart".
     Nearly 90 percent of respondents agreed that most people in society, including themselves, were willing to
speak up for the poor but were reluctant to take action and actually do something for them.
     The survey comes on the heels of a heated debate over comments made by renowned economist Mao
Yushi, who said he was "speaking for the rich and working for the poor".
     A report released by the Asian Development Bank last Wednesday revealed that China's Gini coefficient-an
indicator of the wealth divide-rose from 0.407 in 1993 to 0.473 in 2004.
     An earlier CASS report said that the richest 10 percent of Chinese families now own more than 40 percent
of all private assets, while the poorest 10 percent share less than 2 percent of the total wealth.
     The country's income disparity (懸殊) is close to that of Latin America, the report which came out in
January, said.

     The world's biggest Internet search engine, Google, has proven once again to be king of the Web. Users
can download "Google Wi-Fi" software and then enjoy free Wi-Fi service available in some US cities since
last Tuesday.
     Wi-Fi is short for " Wireless Fidelity" (無線上網(wǎng)). It allows laptop computers (筆記本電腦) and personal
digital assistants (PDAs,個人數(shù)字助理) to connect to the Internet at high speed by radio signal.
     A person with a Wi-Fi enabled computer can connect to the Internet when near one of the network's
access points. The place covered by one or several access points is called a hotspot. Google has already set
up two"hotspots" in the US city of San Francisco which provide a free Wi-Fi service.
     The Wi-Fi technology even allows users to enjoy a free Internet phone service. Some scientists argue that
Wi-Fi may replace mobile phone networks.
     Wi Fi is still limited to a few cities, where there are"hotspots". But its capability (容量) of sending
information has already done better than that of the mobile phone network, even that of 3G(Third Generation
telecommunication technology). Some scientists have started to call Wi-Fi 4G.
     In addition to a high speed Internet connection, Wi-Fi has other advantages com pared to mobile phones.
Wi-Fi is global. The same Wi-Fi system works in different countries around the world. Different from using
cell phones, you don't need to change computers to use Internet phones when you go to other places and
most importantly, many Internet phones cost you nothing at all.
1. Wi-Fi is not available in cities without _____.
A. a computer
B. a radio
C. a hotspot
D. a cell phone

     Thirty years ago not many people would have dreamed of doing the repairs and decorations in
their own homes. In those days labor was fairly cheap and most people would have thought it
worthwhile to employ a professional painter and decorator, unless of course they were either very
hand up or were in the trade themselves. Today, however, it is quite a different story. Men and
women in all walks of life turn their hands to all sorts of jobs round the house including painting,
papering, putting up shelves and wall units, and tiling walls and floors. Some people with no
professional training of any kind have even successfully built their own houses. These jobs have
been made easier today by the introduction of prepared materials, which require the minimum amount
of skill to use. In every high street throughout Britain nowadays there is at least one
"Do-it-Yourself" shop containing a vast range of timber, tiles, paints, wallpapers and floor
coverings besides tools of every description including power drills and many accessories.
"Do-it-Yourself" is a booming business; all these shops do a roaring trade and look like continuing
to do so. Probably the main reason for the craze is the high cost of present-day labor and the shortage
of building firms willing to do small jobs.
1. Why did people employ professional workers to decorate homes thirty years ago? 　
A. Because they could not do it themselves. 　
B. Because professional workers were very cheap. 　
C. Because they had no time. 　
D. Because professional workers could do much better.
2. Thirty years later what changes took place? 　
A. People could do everything themselves. 　
B. Few people chose to be a professional worker. 　
C. People with no professional training successfully built their own houses. 　
D. New expensive materials required no skills at all.
3. What caused the DIY craze? 　
A. Young people liked to follow the fashion. 　
B. "Do-it-Yourself" is a booming business. 　
C. There were fewer building companies. 　
D. High cost of professional workers.
4. What is the speaker telling us? 　
A. How DIY comes into being. 　
B. Changes in building. 　
C. Changes in housing. 　
D. Great changes in these thirty years.

     McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: MCD) is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants,
serving nearly 47 million customers daily  1   Brands (KFC, Taco Bell and others) and sandwich chain
Subway.
     In addition to its signature restaurant chain, McDonald's Corporation held a minority interest in Pret A
Manger until 2008, and owned the Chipotle Mexican Grill until 2006 and the restaurant chain Boston Market
until 2007.   2  The corporations' revenues come from the rent, royalties and fees paid by the franchisees, as
well as sales in company-operated restaurants. 
      3  In response to obesity trends in western nations and in the face of criticism over the healthiness of its
products, the company has modified its menu to include such healthier alternatives as salads, wraps and fruit.
     The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in San
Bernardino, California. Their introduction of the"Speedee Service System" in 1948 established the principles of
the modern fast-food restaurant. The original mascot of McDonald's was a man with a chef's hat on top of a
hamburger shaped head whose name was "Speedee." Speedee was eventually replaced with Ronald McDonald
in 1963.
      The first McDonald's restaurants opened in the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Japan, the
Netherlands, Germany, Australia, France, El Salvador and Sweden in order of openings. The present
corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines, Illinois
on April 15, 1955, the ninth McDonald's restaurant overall.    4    Kroc was also noted for aggressive
business practices, compelling the McDonald brothers to leave the fast food industry. The McDonald brothers
and Kroc feuded over control of the business, as documented in both Kroc's autobiography and in the McD
onald brothers' autobiography.   5  
A. McDonald's primarily sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken products, french fries, breakfast items,
    soft drinks, milkshakes and desserts.
B. The site of the McDonald brothers' original restaurant is now a monument.
C. At one time it was the largest global restaurant chain, but it has since been surpassed by multi-brand
   operator Yum!
D. Each McDonald's restaurant is operated by a franchisee, an affiliate, or the corporation
    itself.
E. The company has also expanded the McDonald's menu in recent decades to include alternative meal
     options. 
F. Kroc later purchased the McDonald brothers' equity in the company and led its worldwide
    expansion and the company became listed on the public stock markets in 1965.

     A popular saying goes,"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."  However,
that's not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn't matter if the words
come from someone else or ourselves-the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
     We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We're usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really
shouldn't be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
     This"self-talk" helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down.
Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we
should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on
the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying
"Good job!"
     Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should
be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store,
we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar
manner. However, harsh and critical language will most probably cause the clerk to be defensive.
     Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we
remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it
needed? If what we want to say doesn't pass this test, then it's better left unsaid.
    Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak
positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy
all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
1. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _____.
A. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us
B. inspiring words give us confidence
C. negative words may let us down
D. words have a lasting effect on us
2. There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _____.
A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves
B. we can benefit from talking to ourselves
C. talking to ourselves always gives us courage
D. it does no harm to have "self-talk" when we are alone
3. The author would probably hold the view that _____.
A. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers
B. negative words may stimulate us to make more progress
C. people tend to remember friendly words
D. it is better to think twice before talking to others

     Learning to save money when you're young is an important lesson. All good lessons and habits begin
early, and saving is a skill that everyone needs. Many people-adults included-do not have a good sense of
saving for the long run.
     I have been lucky to learn this lesson early because I have had a grass-cutting business since I was 10
years old. Of the money I make, I spend about 10 percent and save the other 90.
     Making sure you save and don't spend too much is a good way to build up wealth. I have put my
earnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn, so it never has a chance to grow.
Young people should realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.
     At high school, many parents pay for almost everything, so your expenses can be small. If you have a
job, you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow. Then
you can begin planning for your future. When you spend money, you not only lose that money, but also lose
the interest you should have earned by saving it.
     After high school, college is expensive and then "real" life begins, with expenses such as food and rent. If
you can hold onto a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen, going to college and buying a house
will be much easier. The earlier you begin saving, the more time the money has to grow. If you are in your
thirties without any savings, you will always have to struggle, The earlier you begin saving, the easier it is to
create a nest egg (儲備金).
1. According to the author, a man can build up his wealth by _____.
A. finding a good job
B. saving money when he grows up
C. buying a house
D. saving money and spending less
2. The author seems to believe _____.
A. it is hard to save money when in high school
B. if you have a job, you needn't save money
C. when spending one loses more than the money he pays
D. going to college will be easier if you borrow money from the bank
3. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Saving for future
B. Learning to spend less
C. How to save money
D. How to make money

     How should one invest a sum of money in these clays of inflation (通貨膨脹)? Left in a bank it will hardly
keep its value, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on
the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your
wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique
clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques.
     I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. "The planet
Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has
a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its
young round people's wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the
real master of Earth and men are its slaves."
     Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that
many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time
of clay according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour
or so would shout tire time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings.
     However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. They learned to use
the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour-glasses, and invented
water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces,
stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.
     Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible
to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest
in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?
1. According to the passage, collecting antique clocks _____.
A. can hardly keep the value of your savings
B. will cost much of your savings
C. may increase your wealth
D. needs your bravery
2. By quoting (引用) the remark of a being from another planet, the author intends to _____.
A. suggest human beings are controlled by a clock
B. describe why clocks can rule the planet Earth
C. tell readers what clocks look like
D. compare chicks to human beings
3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to measure the time?
A. Counting the beating of one's own heart.
B. Making use of candles, sand and water.
C. Observing shadows cast by the sun.
D. Keeping slaves busy day and night.
4. The underlined phrase stately homes in paragraph 4 means _____.
A. state-owned houses
B. houses in very good condition
C. grand houses open to the public
D. houses where statesmen meet regularly
5. The purpose of the passage is _____.
A. to introduce the culture of antique clocks
B. to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks
C. to compare different ways to make a future profit
D. to explain convenient and reliable ways of telling time
