In Singapore, most of us love window-shopping while some others enjoy having a picnic at East Coast Park or Changi Beach on sunny days. Singaporeans are never bothered by the occasional thunderstorm. However, we know that if it rains for long continuous periods, there will be more serious effects. Just recently the main shopping street of Orchard Road was flooded and some part of Bukit Timah was impassable to traffic. People reacted by writing in to the newspaper to complain about this! We forget that other countries suffer much worse effects. Elsewhere, heavy tropical（熱帶的）storms often result in floods that ruin crops especially in Thailand and Malaysia. This in turn usually means that the price of rice and vegetables here in Singapore will rise because we import these products from them. If there is a typhoon or tsunami, thousands of lives are lost too. This happened in Indonesia and Phuket in Thailand in 2004 and it serves to remind us of how Mother Nature can cause great damage.

Weather patterns in general have changed dramatically in recent years. Scientists believe that global warming and the resulting melting of the polar ice-cap has caused the level of the ocean to rise. This in turn causes flooding of low-lying areas in countries where the land is rather flat and some parts of which is below water level. It is believed that human activities have caused Mother Nature to show her extreme anger, so it is now important that we really work together to cut down on harmful activities, for example, illegal logging（伐木）or irresponsible forest-burning to clear land for farming.

第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）

Shoppers who carefully plan their visit to the grocery store can save money on their grocery bills.   71 

Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a large meal. If that’s not possible, they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list.   72  

Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money, shoppers must prepare lists wisely in order to save.   73  Many special buys are announced through the local newspapers, so buying the “grocery issue” is worth the investment(投資). However, it’s important to remember that many newer, more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy.

74  Once at the store, the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules. The shopper should not stay longer than necessary, because bills go up each minute the shopper is in the store. So, setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill.   75   If the grocery list is a short one, some shoppers choose to use the small hand-held basket instead of the roomy grocery cart.

A．A carefully planned list should include in – season produce and any items on sale or discounted through coupons (優(yōu)惠券).

B．Of course, the shopper should stick strictly to the shopping list and resist the temptation to buy additional items.

C．People who are full are less tired and more likely to buy what they want.

D．Now that the shopper has completed the grocery list, it’s time to leave for the store.

E．You should keep your shopping list carefully in case you can exchange it for coupons.

F．Most shoppers are less persuaded to buy extra goods when they are not hungry.

G．Shopping when not hungry, sticking to a grocery list, and following a few simple rules will cut down the grocery bill.
