from then, God raised him from the dead. Jesus stayed on earth physically for several weeks. Many people
saw him. Easter is the happiest time of year for Christians because they believe that Jesus had victory over
death and evil and that now he lives with God the Father in heaven. But before celebrating Easter, Good Friday
should be remembered. Jesus died a horrible and painful death. He suffered, though he did noting wrong.
Christian believe that Jesus was God"s substitute (代表) for humans, because humans all do wrong. He died
because of humans and he died for humans. 
     Christians often wear crossed around their necks of hang them in their homes because they believe it is a
very important sign. The cross helps them remember how much God loves them. It helps them remember

阅读理解。     The market is a concept (概念). If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing
for the market. You might sell some to your neighbors and some to the local managers of the supermarket. But
in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop
buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.
     If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel
worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.
     When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores,
supermarkets, gas station and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires
you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market.

阅读理解。     If women are mercilessly exploited (剥削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame, because
they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion. They are always taken
advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be
put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing
in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
     Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums
of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away
clothing in this way, waste hours of their time changing the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or
shortened; necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.
     No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion
designers are rarely concerned with primary things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They"re only
interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount
of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn"t sometime in his life smiled at
the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her way through deep snow in high-
heeled shoes.
     When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do
the constantly changing fashions of women"s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of instability (不稳
定)? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanged styles of dress
reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide. 1. Designers and big stores always make money _____. [     ]
A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
B. because they are capable of predicting new fashions
C. by constantly changing the fashions in women"s clothing
D. because they always improve quality of women"s clothing 2. The writer would be less critical (批评) if fashion designers placed more stress on the _____ of clothing. [     ]
A. cost
B. appearance
C. comfort
D. suitability 3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? [     ]
A. New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.
B. The constant changes in women"s clothing reflect their strength of character.
C. The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
D. Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women. 4. By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious", the writer means that _____. [     ]
A. women"s changeableness in their choice of clothing is often laughed at
B. women are better able to put up with discomfort
C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers
D. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion

阅读理解。     I"m a pig, and my son is a rabbit. I have snakes for daughters, and my wife, believe it or not, is a dragon!
Do I live in a zoo? No, of course not! I am talking about Chinese zodiac signs. Depending on the year of your
birth, each person has an animal for a sign. That"s why I am a pig and my wife is a dragon. If you, like me,
were born in the year of the pig, then you are brave, thoughtful and loyal. The year of the pig is filled with
good fortune.   
     Now let"s take a closer look at this interesting animal.   
     Pigs were first raised by man about 9,000 years ago, and are still a very common farm animal in many parts
of the world. We don"t just use pigs for their meat-almost every part of the animal is used. The hair is used for
artists" brushes. The fat is used to make floor wax, rubber and plastics.   
     Pigs have also been important in the world of entertainment. In 1995 the film "Babe" starred a loveable talking
pig as its main character. The film won an Oscar and was nominated for 6 more. In England you can even go
to watch pig racing. A farmer, Rob Shepherd, has been raising money for charity by holding pig races on his
farm. The events have been very successful. People don"t just want to eat pigs, it seems!   
     Pigs also play an important role in the English language. For example, if someone says that he will travel to
the sun one day, you can say "pigs might fly!" to him. Hungry? Well then, you can "pig out" and eat lots of food.
And what if someone rescues you? Well, you can say that they "saved your bacon". 1. The writer wrote the first paragraph in a tone.  [     ]
