阅读理解。     People usually use modern machines to produce things in large numbers. This method lowers the cost of
their products (产品) and the price of these products in the markets is lower, too. Thus they give us better
values. At the same time, new technology and science are always at work, improving the quality of products.
In this way, better quality products at good values are one after the other being brought to the people of all
income groups.
     As an example of how this works, when facial tissues, pieces of thin soft paper that you use to blow your
nose, were first put on the market in 1924, they were made in small numbers and sold at 60 cents per box of
200. People liked these facial tissues immediately and began asking for them when they went into different
stores.
     Because there was such a market for the product, producers began making tissues in larger and larger
numbers. Because the producers were making tissues in greater numbers, the costs were lowered, so that the
cost of tissues went down. At the same time, the quality of facial tissues was improving, because more
producers went into the business of making tissues, and each producer tried to make his product better than
his competitors (竞争者). Today, instead of costing 60 cents, a box of 200 facial tissues costs around
one-third of that price, and they are both softer and stronger.
     When people are free to compete, when they are free to make more things and make them better, we all
feel much better. 1. How do the makers cut the cost of their products? A. They cut the price of their products in the supermarkets.
B. They have many different machines in their factories.
C. They improve the quality of their products.
D. They produce things in large numbers. 2. How much does a box of 200 tissues cost today?A. 80 cents.
B. 60 cents.
C. 40 cents.
D. 20 cents. 3. Why does the writer of the passage set facial tissue as an example? A. To show how the price of tissues becomes lower.
B. To show how the quality of tissues becomes higher.
C. To tell the readers how the tissues are made.
D. To tell the readers how the tissues are sold. 4. Which is true according to the passage? A. The more products they make, the better quality the products will be.
B. The lower the price of the products is, the more value we can get.
C. The more products they sell, the less money they make.
D. The freer you are, the better you feel.

     You wouldn"t steal a car. You would never rob (抢劫) a bank or pick someone"s pocket. But you may
be another kind of thief.
     If you have ever bought a disc for 15 yuan or less, then you have helped to rob artists or musicians of
their intellectual properly rights (知识产权).
     Last Thursday was World Intellectual Property Day. Activities to tell people about intellectual property
rights were held around the country.
     Intellectual property includes inventions, literary (文学的) and artistic works, names, and pictures. They
are of little value (价值) if they are not read, seen and used.
     While the cost of copying discs is very small, authors, singers and actors have to spend a lot of money
and time making a new product. That"s why they have the right to make money from their work.
     So buying pirated (盗版的) music of Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai is like stealing from them, paying them no
respect for their hard work.
     If Jay Chou cannot make money from his work, he may not make anything else. But those who make
pirated goods are becoming rich without doing any hard work.
     The authors should ask for a fair price for their work. Earlier this year there was much talk about how
much KTV clubs should pay the music companies for using their songs.
     The copyright fee (版权费) also should be fair to the users. That"s good for the music"s popularity and
society as well.

1. What is the author"s attitude towards protecting (保护) intellectual property rights? A. He is for it. B. He is against it.
C. He doesn"t care about it.
D. The article doesn"t tell us. 2. Which of the following do intellectual property rights not cover? A. Inventions.
B. Literary and artistic works.
C. Names end pictures.
D. Pirated music. 3. According to the article, which of the following is true? A. Authors should ask for a high price for their work.
B. The copyright fee should ha fair to users.
C. Authors, singers and actors have no right to make money from their work.
D. Buying pirated music by Jay Chou is very good. 4. What is the best title for the article? A. Rob a Bank
B. Copyright Fees
C. Say No to pirated Music
D. World Intellectual Property Day

     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).

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.
