Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
One very cold, wet night at about 3:30 a.m., there was a 16 on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from 17 to toe, explained that he had 18 out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant（怀孕的）wife and his two children 19 at the car and said that he would hitchhike（搭便车）back.
Once I had 20 a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both 21 , saying that they were cold. Once the car had started, I suggested that he 22 me back.
Before leaving, I had turned the heater 23 in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and 24 . While the little ones played and ran 25 , I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the 26 .

In his letter, he thanked me again and 34 me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station. In this 35 , a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.

A
Medicine for inflation

For years, prices have risen in China for many reasons. However, inflation (通货膨胀) has not badly affected people's lives because living standards have improved.
Inflation is not an unbeatable beast. In fact, economists from all over the world have found ways to stop or reduce it. There are now several methods of controlling inflation.
Reduce the amount of money being issued
Many experts believe inflation happens because too much money is printed. The more money the central bank issues, the more inflation there is. Therefore, the most important thing to do for any government is to control the amount of money being issued.
Cut down on government spending and increase government income
Over－spending and over-expanding of governments can make inflation worse. Therefore it is helpful to reduce the size of big government bodies, cut down on their spending and pay fewer and smaller subsidies (津贴) to prevent inflation from accelerating.
Slow down the increase of salaries
It seems that giving bigger salaries to workers helps them manage when prices of their shopping are going up. In fact, as salaries increase, the central bank will have to issue more money to pay for the increase. Thus, increasing salaries may not be so good as it sounds. It's like cheating. Salaries should only be increased if workers produce more.
Increase bank interests
Interest increases can make more people put more money into banks. At the same time, enterprises take out fewer loans. Demand for money on the whole is lower.
Keep prices under strict control
Prices can be lowered by setting a ceiling－-the highest prices－-for most goods and freezing prices on most goods.
36. The word "issue" in Paragraph 3 means ____.
A. use B. print C. quarrel D. invent
37. The writer uses "medicine" to stand for ____.
A. ways to reduce inflation B. reasons for inflation
C. something to treat patients D. prices without control
38. What is probably the best way to reduce inflation?
A. No money will be issued. B. Salaries will be reduced.
C. More products will be produced. D. Prices will be controlled.
39. The article does not mention _____ as a way of reducing inflation.
A. controlling prices B. adjusting bank interests
C. controlling the amount of money being issued D. improving people's living standards

B
This sign was found in the front yard of a house in the US. The people living here want to let their dog play outside and ensure it won't run into the street. So, they hired a company to set up an "invisible fence", an electric wire buried in the ground around the yard. The dog wears a special collar and when it walks near to the "fence", the wire will send out a small shock. The dog quickly learns to stay away from the edge of the yard. As it says at the bottom of the sign, the fence will keep your dog "safe" (away from the street) and "at home" (contained inside the yard).
The small word "BRAND" printed in blue means that "Invisible Fence" is registered as the company's brand name. Similarly, the "TM" printed after "your dog safe at home" stands for "trade mark", a slogan registered specifically to one company.
40. The people set up an "invisible fence " ______.
A. to let their dog play outside their house
B. to keep their dog away from the edge of the yard
C. to keep their dog inside their yard
D. to warn others not to enter their house
41. Which is NOT true about the "invisible fence"?
A. The fence does not exist at all.
B. The "Invisible Fence" is a brand name of a company.
C. Without the special collar, the fence won't work on the dog.
D. Science and technology play an important part in it.
42. The underlined word "shock" refers to _____.
A. an unexpected and unpleasant event, situation, or piece of news that surprises and upsets you
B. the feeling of surprise and disbelief when something very unpleasant happens unexpectedly
C. a medical condition in which someone looks pale and their hearts and lungs are not working correctly
D. a sharp, painful feeling caused by a flow of electricity passing through the body
43. The purpose of the passage is to _____.
A. introduce a new product for your dog
B. expand your knowledge of foreign culture

C
Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”
A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green”, that is, friendly to the environment.
Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing (生产) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.
The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it”. The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.
44. It is clear from the text that the driving force (动力) behind green products is____.
A. public caring for the environment B. rapid development of companies
C. new ways of doing business D. rapid growth of supermarkets
45. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to_________.
A. the selling point B. the company’s product
C. a great demand for healthful goods D. the manufacturing of green products
46. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Business and people B. Shopping Habits Are Changing
C. Business Goes Green D. Supermarkets and Green Products
D
Mass Media
Every day, we are all influenced by the mass media, although some critics of the media claim that these means of communication are used mainly to control our thinking and get us to buy products that we don't need, the media also contribute to keeping people informed. In other words, while dangers do exist, the benefits of the media far outweigh（超过） the disadvantages. Most of the messages brought to viewers, listeners, and readers are designed either to inform or to entertain, and neither of these goals can be considered dangerous or harmful.
If consumers of the media could be taught at an early age to examine messages critically, i.e., to think carefully about what is being communicated, they would be able to take advantage of the information and enjoy the entertainment without being hurt by it. The key to critical thinking is recognizing the purposes of the news or scriptwriters, the advertisers, and so on. Are both sides of an issue being presented? Is the amount of violence and killing shown necessary to the point of a story? Have enough facts about a product being advertised been presented?
Besides, in a country with a democratic (民主的) form of government, the people can be kept informed by the mass media. To be able to express their views and vote intelligently, citizens need the opportunity to hear news, opinions, and public affairs programming. Information about current events is presented in-depth on publicly funded TV channels and radio stations as well as in newspapers. In addition, the public broadcasting media can help viewers and listeners to complete or further their education.
The media also give people the information they need in their daily lives and the media can be a valuable means of educating the public. Even though the media can be misused, most of their effects are positive.
47. The main point the writer tries to make in this text is that ________
A. advertising is harmful when it presents incorrect information
B. the positive effects of the mass media outweigh the negative ones
C. people should learn to take advantage of the media's benefits
D.TV is more useful as a means of entertainment than as a means of providing information
48. What should consumers of the mass media be taught at an early age?
A. To bring their imagination into full play when watching programs of low quality.
B. To buy products advertised so that the demand increases.
C. To turn off the TV set when hurt by bad programs.
D. To think critically about the messages brought to them.
49. We can learn from paragraph 3 that citizens will be in a better position to express their view and make their choices if they are ________.
A. highly educated through TV and radio B. well protected by the government
C. highly paid by the employers D. well informed by the media
50. The underlined phrase "in-depth" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by________.
A. thoroughly B. partly C. relatively D. simply
