sport on TV. But the number who take part in (参加) sport is quite small. On the whole English people prefer
to be fat rather than thin.
The most popular sport in England is football. Football is played on Saturday afternoon in most towns and
the supporters (球迷) of a certain team will travel from one end of the country to the other to see their team
play. There are four divisions (级别) of the football league. Not surprisingly the best teams are in the first
division. But the best supporters are often in the fourth division. You have to be a good supporter to watch
the fourth division football!
Many other sports are also played in England, such as golf, in which you try to knock a ball into a hole;
basketball, in which you try to got a ball through a net (篮筐); tennis, in which you try to hit a ball so that your
opponent (对手) can not hit it. As you see, if the ball had not been invented, there would have been no sport.
Actually (其实), that is not quite true. Athletics (田径) isn"t played with a ball; nor horseracing (赛马).
Perhaps that is why they are not so popular as football!
B. Football
C. Golf
D. Tennis
B. the second
C. the third
D. the fourth
B. They like watching sport on TV.
C. They are too busy.
D. They prefer to be thin.
B. The sport games are played on Saturday afternoon.
C. They like the idea of sport.
D. They like the famous players.

举一反三
Why read this book to find out how to win friends? Why not study the technique of the greatest winner
of friends the world has ever known? Who is he? You may meet him coming down the street. When you get
within ten feet of him, he will begin to wag its tail. If you stop and pat him, he"ll jump out of his skin to show
you how much he likes you. And you know this show of love. There is no secret motives (动机): he doesn"t
want to sell you any real estate(房产),and he doesn"t want to be your husband or wife.
Did you ever stop to think that a dog is the only animal that doesn"t have to work for a living? A hen has
to lay eggs; a cow has to give milk; and a canary has to sing. But a dog makes a living by giving you nothing
but love.
When I was five years old, my father bought a little yellow-haired young dog for fifty cents. He was the
light and joy of my childhood. Every afternoon around four thirty, he would sit in the front yard with his
beautiful eyes staring at the road, and as soon as he heard my voice or saw me through the bush, he was off
like a shot, racing breathlessly up the hill to greet me with leaps of joy and barks of cheer.
Tippy was my good companion (同伴) for five years. Then one night-I shall never forget it -he was killed
within ten feet of my head, killed by lightning. Tippy"s death was the terrible event of my childhood. You never
read a book on psychology (心理学), Tippy. You didn"t need to.
You know that one can make more friends in months by really interested in other people than one can in
two years by trying to get other people interested in him. Let me repeat that. You can make more friends in
two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people
interested in you.
B. Tippy
C. a pet dog
D. a psychology book

they want to buy clothes, VCRs, or television sets.
But there is an underclass-people with low incomes and no credit history -who visit their neighborhood
pawnshops (当铺) when they need cash or a loan.
About 20 percent of the US population has no bank account. More than half of this group don"t have credit
cards and cannot get bank loans.
"These people are borrowing an average of $50," said John P. Caskey of Swarthmore College in
Swarthmore, Pennsylvania."If you add up in terms of how much dollar value pawnshops provide, they don"t
look very important. If you add up how much of the population they serve or the number of loans they make,
they are important."
Because they make loans, pawnshops are a type of bank, often calling themselves"the bank of the little
people."
Caskey and Swarthmore student Brian Zidmund in 1989 looked at the importance of pawnshops in the US
economy-the first serious study of the subject since the 1930s.
Their conclusion: pawnshops are the consumer"s lender of last resort (最后贷款人).
Pawnshop customers typically cannot get credit at banks. They have poor credit records, low and unstable
incomes, or cannot maintain positive bank account balances.
Typically, pawnshop customers borrow relatively small amounts that traditional lenders are unwilling or
unable to provide on a secured basis.
"If you look at total consumer credit, the amounts provided by pawnshops remain small," Caskey said.
"They are lending mainly to low-income people. In terms of the population they serve, they"re really important."
In 1988, there were about 6,900 pawnshops in the United States - one for every two commercial banks.
They made about 35 million loans, providing 1 percent of the nation"s consumer credit.
B. Banks for the Poor
C. Pawnshops vs. Banks
D. Commercial Banks
A. They go to local banks for help.
B. They apply for credit cards.
C. They ask for a loan from large banks.
D. They apply for a loan in pawnshops.
B. Most people prefer pawnshops for their need of cash.
C. Pawnshops are an important part of the state economy.
D. Pawnshops are not important because they make up only 1 percent of the nation"s consumer credit.
B. they make big loans to a lot of people
C. they are serving the majority of the population
D. they make a large number of loans to the poor
effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there
are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up
and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night
before.
Memory "tricks" work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something
and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barbershop waiting for my
turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across
the street from my office.
We always seem to find something funny and amusing in incidents caused by people"s forgetfulness or
absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never get tired
of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when
"tricks" of our memory can cause us great trouble.
B. make a conscious effort of practice and exercise
C. never stop learning
D. try hard to remember things
B. One night the writer forgot having locked the front door.
C. The writer remembered to lock the door.
D. The writer remembered unlocking the front door.
B. Absent-mindedness is more troublesome than forgetfulness.
C. Absent-minded professors are often amused by the incidents, too.
D. Absent-mindedness happens not only to professors but to all other people.
B. "Tricks" of Memory
C. The Dangers of Forgetfulness
D. The Dangers of Absent-mindedness
chances are they will tune you out.
Take the fellow who opens: "On my way over to the club tonight, I ran into a bum (流浪汉) who asked
me for $ 49.50 for a cup of coffee. I told him he"d do much better if he asked for a quarter. He said, "Do
you think I"m going into the Ritz in these clothes?"" We know his purpose: to win his audience over with
humor. His bit of humor, however, has no connection with his speech. He has his audience laughing at the
wrong time. Once you have an audience laughing it"s hard to get them to switch to an entirely different train
of thought. There is nothing wrong with humor in a speech as long as it has something to do with the purpose
of his speech. To open a speech with humor just to be entertaining invites an almost sure"turnoff" for the
remainder of the talk.
B. A sense of humor.
C. The opening remarks.
D. A forceful ending.
B. make his audience laugh
C. be fresh and different
D. be reserved for the end
B. cause your audience to lose interest
C. make your audience go away at once
D. have your audience laugh with you
B. Humor is important in the success of your speech.
C. Your humor should be relevant (相关的) and timely.
D. An outstanding speech is full of jokes.
