Most American students have said goodbye to fancy (高档的) fruits these days. In school canteens
across the country, cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their place.
"People are afraid to spend now," said Linda Morrow, who owns a shoe and handbag store."They don"t
know what the future will bring." During the financial crisis (金融危机), several of the country"s biggest
banks have been forced to sell or close. This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods.
Samira Marino, a restaurant owner in Miami, has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and
more people are sharing meals.
In more than two-dozen interviews with The Associated Press across the country last month, Americans
talked about their concerns, from worries about small businesses to doubts (怀疑) about simply making ends
meet (维持生计).
The crisis began last year. Experts think it was because US banks lend money too easily. Last year a lot
of people and companies,who borrowed money, have found themselves unable to pay it back. This left the
banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money. Since the banks borrowed
money between themselves and even across borders (国界), the whole world was in trouble.
This month the US government agreed on a $700 billion plan to try to save the financial market. But no
one is sure whether it will help or not. President George W. Bush has warned it will take some time. Last
week top finance officials from 20 countries promised to work together to find a way out of the money
trouble. 1. Why are people in the US afraid to spend? A. Because they think it"s unnecessary.
B. Because they don"t have the habit of spending money.
C. Because they worry about their future.
D. Because they don"t have enough money. 2. The underlined word "concerns" probably means _______. A. worries
B. conditions
C. hobbies
D. experiences 3. The fifth paragraph mainly _______. A. tells what it is like in a crisis
B. explains why there is a crisis
C. warns people of the danger of the crisis
D. asks people not to borrow money from banks 4. People feel _______ about the US plan to save the market. A. satisfied
B. doubtful
C. hopeless
D. angry 5. The best title for the story is _______. A. Ways to Make Ends Meet
B. The Money Problem Facing the World
C. Healthy Fancy Fruits
D. The Art of Borrowing

阅读理解。 In the mid 1990"s, people started doing business on the Internet. At that time, there were two kinds of
companies. First, there were traditional companies which sold things in stores. Then, there were Internet
companies which didn"t have stores; they sold things only over the Net.
Traditional companies didn"t want to lose any business. Quickly, they created their own websites and
began selling things over the Net. These are the so-called "brick and click" companies. Many stores are
made of brick, and you click on your mouse to buy things with your computer. That"s where the name
"brick and click" comes from.
By the late 1990"s, e-businesses like Amazon.com, Buy.com, and eToys.com were in trouble. Their
profits were not very high, and there was a lot of competition. Many of these businesses lost a lot of money,
and in 2000, many businesses were out of business. Why are brick and click companies, like Barnes and
Noble, Toys RUs, and Walmart 50 successful? First, many customers know and trust their names. Their
websites, like Walmart.com, are easy to remember. These companies also have a lot of experience. They
know how to run a successful business.
In the world of e-commerce (电子商务), companies are fighting for every dollar and every customer.

阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容回答问题。 It began with one red paper clip (回形针) and ended with a house. Kyle MacDonald, a 26-year-old
Canadian, got a three-bedroomed house through 14 trades (交换) that started with a single red paper clip.
Encouraged by Kyle"s successful experience, now more and more young people around the world
are starting their own trading activities. They set up websites where people can trade things they do not
usually use with other people. A website called Peerflix allows people to trade their used DVDs. These
traders usually prefer face-to-face tracing, which means they don"t have to worry about who is going to
pay for the delivery (递送).
Last year, a young girl in Beijing decided to follow the example of Kyle. She started with a paper clip
and hoped to get a house in the end. After several trades she now has a piano which is worth more than
10,000 yuan. But she may still have a long way to go.
You may be puzzled about why people are doing this. In fact, everyone in the trade activities gets things
that are useful to them. Just as Kyle said, "What"s more important to a man dying of thirst in the desert-one
million dollars or a glass of water?" Kyle"s words probably show why these trades are popular among young
people. 1. What did Kyle get in the end through 14 trades?
