Apparently，we are safe neither at home nor in the business office．We use water in both places，but the research shows that chemicals added to our local water supply to kill harmful bacteria can have unwanted side effects．These chemicals can cause potential harm through drinking and in seemingly harmless activities as cleaning one’s house．They are released(set free)from water by daily actions like water running out of tap，spraying from garden pipes，or splashing in dishwashers and washing machines．As the water is moving．these chemicals are released into the air and then breathed in. Once inside our bodies, they start to affect our health.

Does this mean we should stop bathing? No, say the scientists, but we should put all pollution into perspective. Activities at home such as the burning of coal, cooking oil, or even candles release carbon monoxide and particulates such as cigarette ashes which have been proven as harmful to health as working or living near heavy traffic. New tugs, bedding, and even clothing give off that“new smell, ”which is a sure sign of chemicals. In the office, newly applied paint, newly purchased telephones and other telecommunications equipment, and computers release polluting chemicals, too. As offices and homes often have inadequate ventilation (通风), these chemicals can build up to become health problems. Their poisonous effects are only now being slowly recognized.

These facts suggest that, at a minimum, proper airing of newly purchased goods with an obvious chemical smell is a wise warning. Home and office windows should be opened during good weather. Even one’s car needs to be ventilated as well while in the garage.

We need further research to understand better other potential health dangers, too. For example, the effects of overcrowding of schools (carbon dioxide build-up ), the factory work environment ( an endless list of potentially dangerous substances ), and even home heating and cooling (the air conditioner may be our enemies, not our friends) have only recently started to come to light. Until we understand the effects of our new technological environment better, we can only hope that“there is no place like home.”

1.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A．The air we breathe in is harmful.

B．The water in everyday use is unsafe.

C．Chemicals are added to the drinking water.

D．Chemicals are released in the running water.

2.In Paragraph 2, the underlined sentence means that________.

A．bathing should be done with caution

B．homes and offices should be aired often

C．any pollution should be taken into consideration

D．we should prevent any pollution from doing harm to us

3.What is the purpose of the passage?

A．To call on us to guard our water.

B．To show us that no place is like home.

C．To make us aware of the pollution around us.

D．To argue that neither homes nor offices are safe.

Closeness and independence are both important in our life. Though all humans need both of them, women tend to focus on the first and men on the second. It is as if their lifeblood ran in different directions.

These differences can give women and men differing views of the same situation, as they did in the case of couple I will call Tracy and Brian. When Brian’s old high school friend called him at work and announced he’d be in town on business the following month, Brian invited him to stay for the weekend. That evening he informed Tracy that they were going to have a houseguest, and that he and his friend would go out together the first night to chat like old times. Tracy was upset. She was going to be away on business the week before, and the Friday night when Brian would be out with his friend would be her first night home. But what upset her the most was that Brian had made these plans on his own and informed her of them, rather than discussing them with her before extending the invitation.

Tracy would never make plans, for a weekend or an evening, without first checking with Brian. She can’t understand why he doesn’t show her the same courtesy and consideration that she shows him. But when she protests, Brian says, “I can’t say to my friend, ‘I have to ask my wife for permission’!”

To Brian, checking with his wife means seeking permission, which implies that he is not independent, not free to act on his own. To Tracy, checking with her husband makes her feel good to know and show that she is involved with someone, that her life is bound up with someone else’s.

Tracy and Brian both felt upset by this incident because it cut to the core of their primary concerns. Tracy was hurt because she sensed a failure of closeness in their relationship: He didn’t care about her as much as she cared about him. And he was hurt because he felt she was trying to control him and limit his freedom.

1.What is the primary purpose of the author in writing this passage?

A.To educate the reader on how to maintain good family relationships.

B.To tell the reader how to make close connections with other people.

C.To suggest the best way of coping with family conflicts.

D.To explain the difference in communication styles between men and women.

2.Tracy was upset because ________.

A.she didn’t know Brian’s friend

B.she was too busy to meet Brian’s friend

C.Brian didn’t care about her and hurt her deeply

D.Brian didn’t consult her before inviting his friends home

3.What would Tracy most probably do if she plans to buy something expensive?

A.She would discuss with Brian.

B.She would simply decide on her own.

C.She would ask her friends for advice.

D.She would buy Brian something expensive first.

4.According to the passage, compared with men, women tend to ________.

A.be more emotional

B.be easier to get hurt

C.emphasize more on sharing

D.emphasize more on independence

Art robbery and art forgery (仿造) are both major themes in crime movies and literature.In the 2012 comedy movie Gambit, British actor Colin Firth plays an art curator who cheats his abusive boss into buying a fake Monet. In reality, art crimes are no less interesting and exciting.

According to The New York Times, over the past 15 years, Glafira Rosales fooled two local commercial art galleries into buying 63 false works of art for more than $30 million.She passed off fake paintings as works by 20th century modernist masters such as American artists Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock.But in fact, these so called “newly discovered works” were all produced by a single man, a Chinese immigrant named Qian Peishen.

The art world was shocked by Rosales' deception.But to the public, it was amusing and most satisfying to see wealthy people get tricked.

So what decides the value of a piece of art? Is it beauty? Is it the artist's talent and craftsmanship? Or is it just because the artist is famous?

We should take beauty out. If the buyers were buying paintings only for their beauty, they'll be content displaying good fakes on their walls. They wouldn't be so upset when a forgery is exposed.

The art market claims that great artists are inimitable, and that this inimitability justifies the absurd price of their works. We can't deny that most famous artists are good at what they do, but forgers like Qian show that their works are imitable.Otherwise, the difference between the original and the copycats would be obvious and Rosales would not be able to fool anyone.

According to an article in the Economist, expensive paintings are what economists call positional goods. They are valuable because other people can't have them. With other goods, a higher price reduces demand.But art turns down the laws of economics. “When the goods that is really being purchased is evidence that the buyer has paid a lot, price increases cause demand to boom，” explained the article.

That's why scarcity and authenticity are so important in the art market. Artists sometimes forget this.Demien Hirst, the British pop artist, is famous for his spot paintings. But they dropped in value when it became clear that they had been produced in quantities so vast that nobody knew how many were out there.The art market lost faith in these paintings because no one could be sure which of them were authentic and which were fake.

1.The first paragraph is meant to tell the readers that ________.

A．movies and literature will be popular with art involved in them

B．art crimes are as interesting and exciting in reality as in movies

C．Gambit is a good movie with art forgery as the major theme

D．real art crime in reality can be adapted into popular films

2.Who is amused and satisfied to see the rich buy forged works of art?

A．The public.

B．Glafira Rosales.

C．Qian Peishen.

D．Mark Rothlo and Jackson Pollock.

3.What kind of art buyers should not be unhappy with its high prices when a forgery is exposed according to the author?

A．Those who buy only for its beauty.

B．Those who buy for its inimitability.

C．Those who 'buy for its authenticity.

D．Those who buy for its scarcity.

4.What is the law of economics theory behind art goods according to the economists?

A．They are valuable goods.

B．High prices reduce the demand of art goods.

C．High prices increase the demand of art goods.

D．They are produced in quantities to satisfy people.
