Every year many students went to the college bookstore to purchase the different textbooks that they need for their classes. Little do these students realize that, in doing so, they are throwing good money away. It may sound unbelievable but textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much as, if not more than, college fees.
Many people think that college bookstores are the most convenient source for textbooks. Titles are usually kept and students may purchase new textbooks or choose to buy second-hand books and save money. But the money saved by purchasing second-hand textbooks from college bookstores is small compared to the amount they could save by shopping online.
More and more online booksellers have begun selling textbooks at heavily discounted prices. Online second-hand bookstores are another source for college books as they keep a large number of textbooks, which means sizable savings for students. Students should avoid purchasing their textbooks at the first store that they surf online since there are so many ‘unreal’ booksellers on the Net. Price isn't the only factor to consider when making an online purchase. Students should also consider shopping costs and delivery time when making their decision.
Online auctions(拍賣) are another option for students seeking a bargain. This option, however, has its pros and cons. A plus is that students can get incredibly cheap books. One problem is that while online bookstores have a system in place that ensure you receive your order within a reasonable amount of time, with an auction purchase, however, you  must depend on the auction seller's timetable.
One way that students can really save is by getting books for free. Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable. Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels. In the past students needing help with their studies would often have to spend a lot of money buying expensive study guides. Today that is no longer the case. Cash-strapped students can now visit the website SparkNotes for free downloadable study guides as well as classics.
小題1:Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A．Learning to Save on TextbooksB．Why Buy Textbooks
C．Online Shopping D．Tips for Buying Secondhand Textbooks
小題2:Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source to obtain textbooks ?
A．College bookstores.B．Online used bookstores.
C．Online auctions.D．Second-hand bookstore centres.
小題3:The underlined expression “pros and cons” (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to __________.
A．professionals and conservativesB．joy and sadness
C．a(chǎn)dvantages and disadvantagesD．processes and conditions
小題4:According to the passage, Project Gutenberg is probably __________.
A．a(chǎn) government project aimed at helping English majors
B．a(chǎn) project to help poor students get free learning materials
C．a(chǎn) website for English majors to get the guides from language experts
D．a(chǎn) website for students to get free sources for English learning
小題5:From the passage, we can learn that__________.
A．the cost of textbooks in college is low compared to the amount spent on tuition
B．online auctions are perfect for students seeking text books
C．students should visit many websites before buying their books
D．students should consider shopping costs and delivery time above all else when making their buying decision

Holiday Inns and McDonald’s. both saw unmatched growth in the 1960s. Their growth opened another direct business operation—franchising.
These operations have the same general pattern. The franchisor, the parent company, first establishes a successful retail business. As it expands, it sees a profit potential in offering others the right to open similar business under its name. The parent company’s methods and means of identification with consumers are included in this right. The parent company supplies skill, and may build and rent stores to franchisees. For these advantages the franchisee pays the franchisor a considerable fee. However, some of the advantages and disadvantages are different.
By extending a “proven” marketing method, a parent can profit in several ways. First, the franchisee’s purchase price gives the parent an immediate return on the plan. Then the sale of supplies to the franchisee provides a continuing source of profits. As new businesses are added and the company’s reputation spreads, the values of the franchise increases and sales of franchises become easier. The snowballing effect can be dramatic. Such growth, too, bring into play the economies of scale. Regional or national advertising that might be financially impossible for a franchisor with 20 franchises could be profitable for one with 40.
The parent, then, finds immediate gains from the opportunity to expand markets on the basis of reputation alone, without having to put up capital or take the risk of owning retail stores. Added to this advantage is a less obvious but material one, Skilled, responsible retail managers are rare. People who invest their capital in franchises, though, probably come closer to the ideal than do paid managers. In fact, the franchisee is an independent store operator working for the franchisor, but without an independent’s freedom to drop supplies at will. Of course the factory’s costs of selling supplies are less. But also certainly the franchisee buying goods that have had broad consumer acceptance will not casually change supplies, even when the contract permits. If the hamburger is not what the customer expected, they may not return. Having paid for the goodwill, the franchisee won’t thoughtlessly destroy it.
小題1: Franchising refers to a business operation in which a successful parent company          .
A．sells name-brand goods to a private investor
B．rents proven ideas and techniques for investment
C．sells the right, the guidance to a business under its name
D．takes no advertising responsibility for individual investors
小題2:. The advantages of franchising to the parent company are all the following EXCEPT      .
A．a(chǎn)n immediate investment return
B．the profit from the sale of supplies
C．the ownership of additional retail stores
D．the possibility of profitable advertising
小題3: The passage mainly tells the reader          .
A．the advantages and disadvantages of franchising
B．the benefits of franchising to the franchisor
C．the unmatched economic growth in the 1960’s
D．some regional and national business operation
小題4:. What will the author probably discuss after the last paragraph?
A．More advantages of franchising.
B．Negative aspects related to franchising.
C．The standard of consumer acceptance.
D．Risks of investment besides franchising

America is growing older. Fifty - eight years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. To day, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect（影響）American society in many ways—education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior（行為） is suitable（合適）at various , ages.
　　A person s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29 - year - old university president or a 35 - year -old grandmother, or a 70 year - old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
　　Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother— or my father— was at my age. ”No one says“Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
小題1:It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ________ .
A．has made people feel younger
B．has changed people’s social position
C．has changed people’s understanding of age

B．do the right thing at the right age
C．show respect for their parents young or old
D．take more physical exercise suitable to their age

-For five days, Edmonton's Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents, and where people are able to celebrate(慶祝) and enjoy themselves. Since its beginning in 1980, the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating (紀念) the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that's the traditional togetherness that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.
This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. "People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation," Riedel said. "It's really easy to relax, and it's great seeing family and friends have fun together." These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests.
With so many years of experience, the festival has become a well-oiled machine, and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible. There are free water stations throughout the venue (舉辦地) for people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back.
The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it's easy to see how that was going to happen. There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended. A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.
The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug. 4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund (基金) concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug. 8.

It may not be news to parents of teenage girls, but researchers have confirmed that no one can stop their 16-year-old daughter from deciding how the family spends its money.
The willpower and determination of teenage girls give them a big say in how a family’s money is spent on everything from food and meals to mobile phones, and, of course, clothes. Teenage boys did not show up at all in the analysis, which was designed to find out the influence of young people on household spending.
The findings on the spending power of teenage girls were calculated from Office for National Statistics records of family spending during the 1980s and 1990s. Researchers examined how much money went on services and leisure goods in different kinds of homes. They checked spending on food, restaurant meals, alcohol, tobacco, services, heating, transport, clothes and sports in 2,745 British families.
They found that teenage girls in the UK typically played an active role in family decisions about the allocation（分配）of household resources. But older children— those over the age of 21 who are still living with their parents—appear to have no say in household decisions.
They also tried to calculate to what extent the bargaining power of a teenager affected family budgets. “Every parent knows that children, even at a very early age, have their own preferences with regard to consumption, researchers said. “But children are only interested in a limited range of goods—mainly sweets and toys—and parents are able to use punishment to reduce their children’s bargaining power or remove it.”  When they become teenagers, however, girls are much more independent and they are capable of earning their own money, which improves their bargaining power in family decisions.
The researchers could not explain why girls have more influence over spending while the evidence for boys is much less conclusive. However, this study could be of great significance to market research and how marketers target children.
小題1: From the passage we can learn that            .
A．teenage girls have more influence over family budgets than teenage boys
B．teenage boys don't want to decide on household spending
C．teenage boys have some influence over household
D．teenage girls have weaker willpower and determination than teenage boys
小題2:What does the underlined part “give them a big say” in the second paragraph mean?
A．Make them dare to say something.
B．Make them want to know.
C．Make them say something meaningful.
D．Make their influence stronger.
小題3:It appears that household decisions are NOT affected by        .
A．girls living with parents
B．girls over 21
C．girls over 12
D．girls living alone
小題4:How can parents reduce children’s bargaining power?
A．By persuading them
B．By offering them sweets or toys.
C．By threatening to punish them.
D．By allocating household resources.

Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is the color of most growing plants, too.
Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe.
For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in war (戰(zhàn)爭). By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today--a person who is new in a job.
About one hundred years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities in the east. The greenhorn didn’t have the skills that he would need to live in the hard, rough country.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds.
A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The Green Revolution (革命) is the name which was given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural (農(nóng)業(yè)的) scientists who had green thumbs.
小題1:According to the passage, a greenhorn means________ now.
A．a(chǎn) young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developed
B．a(chǎn) soldier who has not had any experience in war
C．a(chǎn) person who is new in a job
D．a(chǎn) man who doesn’t have the skills to live in the country
小題2:The meaning of the underlined word “ripe” in the second paragraph is ________.
A．未完成的B．成熟的C．青澀的D．老練的
小題3:Which of the following about the Green Revolution is NOT right?
A．If there weren’t the Green Revolution, we would have no rice to eat.
B．The expression “the Green Revolution” appeared several years ago.
C．Because of the Green Revolution, we have more kinds of rice and other grains.
D．Agricultural scientists with green thumbs started the Green Revolution.
小題4:We can know from the passage that _______.
A．a(chǎn)ll growing plants is green
B．green is the most important color in nature
C．a(chǎn) person with a green thumb can make plants grow well
D．the expression “a green thumb” has a history of two hundred years
小題5:The main idea of the passage is ________.
A．a(chǎn) greenhornB．a(chǎn) green thumb
C．the Green RevolutionD．the word “green” and its story

Given Australia’s size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is remarkably homogeneous (同種的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents. However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers and the country people. Almost 90 per cent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve pockets of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the country’s youth. In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheep’s back”, a reference to wool being the country’s main money earner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Much of Australia’s relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a self-deprecating sense of humor. On the whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies (等級制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnings.
Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australia’s liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.
The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a ‘blend of nations’ and although some racism exists, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.
小題1:What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.” in the first paragraph?
A．Australians speak Standard English with no local accents whatsoever.
B．You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents.
C．The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed.
D．There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia.
小題2:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.
B．The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.
C．The majority of people living in Australia come from Europe.
D．The pace of life is different in the city and in the country.
小題3:The underlined pronoun ‘it’ in the final paragraph refers to “_______”.
A．CommunityB．racismC．blend of NationsD．Southeast Asia
小題4:We can infer from the passage that _____.
A．there are no signs of Australia’s colonial past in its modern cities
B．Australia’s recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia
C．immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problems
D．“riding on sheep’s back” resulted in slow development in rural communities
小題5:This passage mainly focuses on Australia’s ______.
A．societyB．economyC．racial problemsD．history
