As we know, most of the material things in our daily life have to be bought

with money. But money is not all powerful. Money can't buy many things such as

time and true love. There are 24 hours in a day. Sometimes when we are very

happy, we wish that the period of happiness would last longer. But no matter

what we do, or how much money we are willing to pay, we cannot make a day

last longer than 24 hours. On the other hand, when we are unhappy, money

cannot make the unhappy time pass away more quickly. True love is another

thing which money cannot buy. Suppose we have someone who really loves us

very much. Once he dies, he can give us no more love. Can our money raise him

from death and make him love us as before? Here we can see very clearly that

money cannot buy us love. Money can buy us diamond things, beautiful clothes,

but never time and love. So money, after all, is not all powerful.

1.According to the passage, it is quite impossible for you to buy ______.

A. true friendship      B. real diamond

C. a large house        D. an expensive car

2.Which of the sentences expresses the main idea of this passage?

A. Money cannot buy time and love.

B. Money is not powerful at all.

C. Money can buy people material things.

D. Money doesn't mean everything.

3.Through the passage the writer wants to tell people not to ­­­­­­______.

A. make money     B. waste money

C. save money       D. worship(崇拜) money

4.From the passage we can see that in our life, besides something material, we need

something ______.

A. spiritual       B. beautiful           C. lovely        D. useful

We need to make better use of our resources. In developing countries we have more than enough, if we are less wasteful in our ways. Fortunately, we can improve. The challenge lies not so much with ‘technical fixes’ but with our approach to our world around us. In the recent past we were in a “Wild West” economy, supposing that there would always be enough resources. Now we know there are no new Earth to explore and exploit; one image to illustrate this is to think of Earth as a spaceship, where most materials have to be recycled. For us, “moving on” will be a case of leaving behind the throwaway society and advancing to a conserver society.

To qualify as citizens of a conserver society, we must change traditional attitudes and thinking. We need to recognize that there is not very often such a thing as “waste”, rather, there are materials which sometimes end up in the wrong place. The change has already begun. The European steel industry reuses scrap（废弃的）metal, resulting in an energy saving of up to 50% . Recycling a glass container saves only 18%; but, in parts of the United States, a citizen buying a bottle of soda or beer now pays a deposit against return of the empty bottle.

If all drink containers in the USA were to be reused, the annual saving would be 0.5 million tons glass, plus about 50 million barrels of oil used in production processes. In Japan, OPEC promoted an increase in recycling of raw materials from 16% to 48% in just five years. In Norway, the price of a new car includes a disposal cost element of about 100 dollars, redeemable（可换成现款的）when the junked car is turned in at an approved receiving center.

Major new businesses are trying to exploit waste chemicals and oil. The Chinese claim to reuse 2.5 million tons of scrap iron and at least one million tons of waste paper each year. In the main, the conserver society depends on the commitment of individuals. But they can be encouraged by government incentive(鼓励) and punishment, which should apply at least as strongly to industry and other commercial interests.

73  Which of the following best expresses the meaning of “a conserver society” in the second paragraph?

A. A wasteful society.

B. A society which thinks of  ways of recycling waste materials.

C. A society which keeps everything.

D. A society which saves electricity.

74  In the last paragraph, the author suggests governments _______.

A. depends on individuals to find ways of conserving energy.

B. find ways of encouraging those industries and individuals who conserve energy and of punishing those who don’t.

C. depend on companies to find ways of saving energy and rewarding workers

D. help establish businesses that will exploit waste materials

75  In this passage the author _______.

A. explains that meaning of the “Wild West” economy

B. tells us what recycled materials are.

C. teaches us how to recycle materials.

D. recommend a change in our use of resources strongly

The clock rules our lives. The more we try to save time, the less time we seem to have. In every area of our lives we are doing things faster. And many of us live in towns and cities which are getting noisier and more stressful as each day passes. But now a worldwide movement, whose aim is to slow life down, has started. Its supporters are people who believe that a happier and healthier way of life is possible.

The Slow Food movement was founded the day that an Italian journalist, Carlo Petrini, saw that McDonald’s had opened a restaurant in a beautiful square in Rome. He thought it was sad that many people today live too quickly to sit down for a proper meal and only eat much fast food. He decided that he had to try to do something about it and so he started the Slow Food movement. Slow Food has become a global organization ever since and now has more than 80,000 members in 100 countries.

Slow Food also encourages people to eat local and regional food, to use local shops and markets, to eat out in small family restaurants, and to cook with traditional recipes.

The idea of Slow Cities was inspired by the Slow Food movement. The aim of Slow Cities is to improve people’s quality of life. Towns which want to become a Slow City have to reduce traffic and noise, increase the number of green areas, plant trees, build pedestrian zones, and promote local businesses and traditions. Now it has spread to other countries all over the world, from the UK to Japan and Australia. There are now 135 Slow Cities in 24 countries across the world that have been named since founding of the organization in 1999. Gao Chun County, in east China’s Jiangsu Province, is expected to be named the first “Slow City” in China next year.

“Slow Cities are about having a community life in the town,” said a local resident. “It is not ‘slow’ as in ‘stupid’. It is ‘slow’ as in the opposite of ‘worried’ and ‘stressful’.”

But not everybody is happy. For teenagers, who have to go 25km to Norwich, the nearest city, to buy CDs, living in a Slow City is not very attractive. “It’s all right here,” says Lewis Cook, 16. “But if you want excitement, you have to go to Norwich. We need more things here for young people.”

1.What’s the aim of the Slow Food movement?

2.All the following are necessary to be a Slow City EXCEPT ______.

3.From the fourth paragraph, we know that ______.

4.What’s Lewis Cook’s attitude to living in a Slow City?

5.What would be the best title for the passage?

Several weeks ago, my friend advised us to sell some of our things which we will not use any more. I thought it was a good chance to 46  my 7-year-old son’s room and 47  some toys that were no longer suitable for him to play with. We 48  that all the money we got from selling the toys would be his money.

The night before the 49 , we loaded up the truck with toys and a little bike that was too 50  for him. In the yard he 51  the bike for the last time and then happily put it onto the truck. This little bike had at least two previous owners as far as we 52  . It wasn’t in the best 53  and was certainly not new, but the tires were 54  good.

We put a price of $10 on it, but it didn’t sell. So, after the sale was 55  , my friend put it on the sidewalk with a sign that 56  “FREE BIKE”. Within five minutes her doorbell rang. A little boy was   57  there. In poor English he asked whether the bike was 58  free. She said yes and that he could have it for 59  . He smiled, got on the bike and rode away.

Later that evening when I told my son how much money he had made at the sale, he was very 60  , shouting happily. He asked about a few of his things, wondering 61  they had been sold. When he asked about the bike, I told him about the little boy and that made him 62  . He was much happier than when I told him how much he had 63  . He was so happy to 64  that someone else would make good 65  of that little bike!
