A
Our boat floated on , between walls of forest too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing through , though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains . Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed: where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river , banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore . In any case , what would we have sailed by landing ? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures , and the jungle so thick that one would be able to move forward only slowly , cutting one’s way with knives the whole way . So we stayed in the boat , hoping that when we reached the sea , a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization .
We lived on fish , caught with a home-made net of string (we had no hooks ), and fruits and nuts we could pick up out of the water . As we had no fire , we had to eat everything , including the fish ,raw . I had never tasted raw fish before , and I must say I did not much enjoy the experience: perhaps sea fish , which do not live in the mud , are less tasteless . After eating my raw fish , I lay back and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice ,and ice-cream . In the never-ending damp heat of the jungle , ice-cream was a particularly frequent dream .
As for water , there was a choice ; we could drink the muddy river water , or die of thirst . We drank the water . Men who have just escaped what had appeared to be certain death lose all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water . In fact , none of us suffered from any illness as a result .
One day we passed another village , but fortunately nobody saw us . We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time : we might not be so lucky to escape in a stolen boat again .

A．high walls B．villages from time to time C．vast land D．heavy woods

A．Escape B．Exploration of A River
C．How to Live on A Boat D．A New Experience
B
Amy Tan , the American-born daughter of Chinese immigrants , received the Commonwealth Club Gold Award in 1989 for her first work of fiction , the best selling Joy Luck Club . The sixteen stories that make up the work alternate（交替）the tales of four Chinese immigrant mothers and their Americanized daughters , in an exploration of the generational and cultural tensions （紧张关系）experienced by many first-generation daughters of immigrants .
Tan’s parents , like many immigrants , had high expectations for their children and often set puzzling standards , expecting Amy and her two brothers to think like Chinese but to speak perfect English , be excellent at school work , and take advantage of every situation that might lead to success . Tan , however , rebelled （反叛）against her parents’ expectations and devoted herself to being thoroughly American and dreaming of being a fiction writer .
Tan got a bachelor’s degree in English and linguistics（语言学）and a master’s degree in linguistics and established herself as a highly successful business writer . Tan , however , was not satisfied in spite of her material success . Turning to her life long dream , she wrote her first short story , “ Endgame,” and then a second , “Waiting between the trees .” In 1987 Tan visited her half-sisters in China with her mother , a trip that proved to be a turning point in her life and career . Tan felt a sense of completeness , a tie with the country and its culture that she had never expected . Returning from China , Tan was surprised to learn that on the strength of her short stories she had received an advance from a publisher . Tan closed her business and wrote the remaining stories for the Joy Luck Club . It was a great success , well received by the public and appearing on the New York Times bestseller list . It has been translated into seventeen languages , including Chinese , and was made into a movie in 1993 .

People can be addicted to different things , e . g., alcohol , drugs , certain foods , or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive （难以抑制的）; i . e. , they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy . According to psychologists , many people are compulsive spenders : they feel that they must spend money . This compulsion , like most others , is irrational—impossible to explain reasonably . For compulsive spenders who buy on credit , charge accounts （按月付款）are even more exciting than money . In other words , compulsive spenders feel that with credit , they can do anything . Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy .
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting . To save money , of course , most people look for sales , low prices , and discounts . Compulsive bargain hunters , however , often buy things that they don’t need just because they are cheap . They want to believe that they are helping their budgets ，（预算）, but they feel that they are winning . Most people, experts claim , have two reasons for their behavior : a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason .
It is not only scientists , of course , who understand the psychology of spending habits , but also business-people . Stores , companies and advertisers use psychology to increase business: they consider people’s need for love , power , or influence , their basic values , their beliefs and opinions , and so on in their advertising and sales methods .
Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy” to help individuals solve their personality problems . In the same way , they can help people who feel that they have problems with money .

14．According to the writer , compulsive bargain hunters are often in search of the lowest possible prices .
A．because they want to save money to help their budgets
B．because they can openly boast of their victory over others in getting things for less money
C．and will not have money problems if they can keep to their budget
D．but they seldom admit they feel satisfied if they can’t get things for less money than others

A．the psychology of money-spending habits

The most noticeable trend among today’s media companies is vertical integration(融合), an attempt to control several related aspects of the media business at once, each part helping the other. Besides publishing magazines and books, Time Warner, for example, owns Home Box Office (HBO), Warner movie studios, various cable TV systems throughout the United States and CNN as well. The Japanese company Matsushita own MCA Records and Universal Studios and manufactures broadcast production equipment.
To describe the financial status of today’s media is also to talk about acquisitions(获得). The media are buying and selling each other in unprecedented(史无前例的) numbers and forming media groups to position themselves in the market place to maintain and increase their profits. In 1986, the first time a broadcast network had been sold, two networks were sold that year, ABC and NBC.
Media acquisitions have increased sharply since 1980 for two reasons. The first is that most big corporations today are publicly traded companies, which means that their stock is traded on one of the nation’s stock exchanges. This makes acquisitions relatively easy.
A media company that wants to buy a publicly owned company can buy that company’s stock when the stock becomes available. The open availability of stock in these companies means that anybody with enough money can invest in the American media industries, which is exactly how Rupert Murdoch joined the media business.
The second reason for the increase in media alliances is that beginning in 1980, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) gradually removed the regulations from the broadcast media. Before 1980, for example, the FCC allowed one company to own only five TV stations, five AM radio stations, and five FM radio stations; companies also were required to hold onto a station for three years before the station could be sold. The post-1980 FCC got rid of the three-year rule and raised the number of broadcast holdings allowed for one owner. This trend of media acquisitions is continuing throughout the 1990s, as changing technology expands the market for media products.
The issue of media ownership is important. If only a few corporations direct the media industries in this country, the outlets for differing political viewpoints and creative ideas could be limited.
17．Which of the following is true of the media?
A．They used to sell and buy each other in great numbers.
B．They are trading each other in great numbers today.
C．They used to be controlled by two networks ABC and NBC.
D．They have stopped the trend of acquisitions in the 1990s.
18．According to the passage, what makes acquisitions easier?
A．The changing technology employed by the media.
B．The media’s increasing profits in the marketplace.
C．The ever tougher regulations of the FCC on the media since 1980.
D．The availability of the media’s stocks on stock exchanges.
19．What is the FCC’s new policy regarding media alliances ( )?
A．It allows companies to sell their stocks publicly.
B．It doesn’t allow companies to sell their stock publicly.
C．It
