（长宁）

“Neither a borrower nor a lender be.” Although this might be excellent advice in matters concerning family and friends, borrowing and lending are frequently the foundation of a booming economy.

A loan is a sum of money borrowed for a limited period. A loan may be obtained from an individual or from an institution such as a bank and is generally granted at a specific rate of interest. Interest is the fee that the borrower pays to use the money. An extremely high rate of interest --- and certainly any amount more than law permits --- is called usury. Lending money can be a risky business, for there is always the possibility that the borrower may not be able to pay the loan. For this reason, a lender generally requires the borrower to register something valuable of his or hers, known as collateral (抵押), as a part of the loan agreement. A house or an automobile, investments in the stock market, even the value of a business, are all examples of collateral that a lender may be willing to accept in the event that the borrower fails to pay the loan.

There are two major sorts of loans: consumer loans and commercial loans. A consumer loan is one that is made to an individual, and it may be to buy a house or an automobile or to finance an education. A commercial loan may be used to start a new business, pay for new equipment and staff, or expand an office or factory. The business of making loans also contributes to a healthy economy by enhancing the employment market. Loans allow consumers to buy and improve homes, creating jobs for carpenters, architects and etc. Loans enable businesses to expand, and when these businesses open a branch office or a new store, they also increase their consumption of office supplies, furnishings, and computers.

In a booming economy, money circulates quickly, and each deal represents earnings for someone. It may be reasonable to say that a certain level of debt is normal, even necessary, to a healthy economy as long as the individual borrower or business is careful and try not to take on more than a manageable amount of debt.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

81. “Neither a borrower nor a lender be.” is excellent advice for keeping good family and friends

while it is __________.

82. What is the purpose of collateral in a loan agreement?

83. Different from commercial loans, consumer loans may be used to __________.

84. How can the individual borrower or business profit from a booming economy?

81. 82. To prevent the borrower from not paying the loan. / …

A son in many developing countries means insurance, who will inherit his father's property and help support the family. However, to parents, a daughter is just another expense. Her place is in the home, not in the world of men. A girl can't help but feel inferior when everything around her tells her that she is worth less than a boy. Her future is, to some extent, shaped as soon as her family limits her opportunities and treat her as second-rater, which explain why women in developing countries perform much worse than men both in study and career.

Deep discrimination (歧视)against women creates a firm force that keeps girls from living up to their full potential. It also leaves them victims to severe physical and emotional harm. These “servants of the household" come to accept that life will never be any different. What's most harmful, it results not only in millions of individual tragedies, but also in the lost potential for the entire country. Studies show there is a direct link between a country's attitude toward women and its social and economic progress. The status of women is central to the health of a society. If one part suffers, so does the whole.

To deal with the situation, many women turn to education. Educated women are essential to ending sex discrimination, starting by reducing the poverty The most basic skills in literacy and Maths open up opportunities for better-paying jobs for women. Uneducated women in rural areas of Zambia, for instance, are twice as likely to live in poverty as those who have had eight or more years of education.

Women who have had some schooling are more likely to get married later, survive childbirth, have fewer and healthier children, and make sure their own children complete school. Understanding the importance of hygiene (卫生）and nutrition, they are more likely to stay in physical wellness.

Nevertheless, the comprehensive change for a society speaks for the more far-reaching meaning of women education. As women get the opportunity to go to school and obtain higher-level jobs, they gain status in their communities, which translates into the power to influence their families and societies. Such power may, together with other forces of outside interference, make even bigger changes possible and gradually lighten up women's fates in these countries.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

81. What two facts make a woman achieve less than men in developing countries?

82. The most severe result of discrimination against women is ________________________.

83. Why are educated women in developing countries more likely to remain healthy?

84. High social position at home helps women to have the ability to ________________________.

81. Her family limiting her opportunities and treating her as second-rater.

82. the lost potential for the entire country

83. Because they understand the importance of hygiene and nutrition.

84. influence their families and societies

While it might seem like an unusual venture for the brand famous for pizza, the company?s perfume is already available as a limited edition product. fuck myself

And sure enough, the bottles were shipped to those 100 lucky fans before Christmas.

Grip Limited isn?t the only company to attract attention with odd aromas (芳香). Four years ago, Burger King offered a $4 meat-scented body spray for men. Before that in 2006, Stilton created a perfume meant to mimic (模拟) the scent of blue cheese.

Pizza Hut Canada has not announced any plans to make more of the perfume in the future. But the chain also said in the release that it?s possible the perfume could appear in stores in the future.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

If you need another reason to give thanks at the dinner table on Thanksgiving Day, how?s this: people who maintain an “attitude of gratitude” tend to be happier and healthier than those who don?t, according to an instructive article this week in the Wall Street Journal.

The WSJ?s Melinda Beck reports that adults who feel grateful have “more energy, more optimism, more social connections and more happiness than those who do not, according to studies conducted over the past decade. Now a new study conducted by researchers at Hofstra University — the results of which are set to be published in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Happiness Studies — finds similar benefits of gratitude for adolescents as well.

Dr. Jeffrey J. Froh, assistant professor of psychology and lead researcher of the new study, surveyed 1,035 students aged from 14 to 19 and found that grateful students reported higher grades, more life satisfaction, better social integration and less envy and depression than their peers who were less thankful and more materialistic. Additionally, feelings of gratitude had a more powerful impact on the students? lives overall than materialism.

What the majority of the research suggests is that gratitude should be chronic（长期的） in order to make a lasting difference in well-being. Dr. Robert Emmons, professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, and a pioneer in gratitude research, told the WSJ that in order to reap（收获）all of its benefits, feeling gratitude must be rooted into your personality, and you must frequently acknowledge and be thankful for the role other people play in your happiness: “The key is not to leave it on the Thanksgiving table,” he said.

For older children and adults, one simple way to cultivate gratitude is to literally count your blessings. Keep a journal and regularly record whatever you are grateful for that day. Be specific. Listing “my friends, my school, my dog” day after day means that “gratitude tiredness” has set in, Dr. Froh says. Writing “my dog licked my face when I was sad” keeps it fresher. The real benefit comes in changing how you experience the world. Look for things to be grateful for, and you?ll start seeing them.

Studies show that using negative, insulting words — even as you talk to yourself — can darken your mood, as well. Fill your head with positive thoughts, express thanks and

encouragement aloud and look for something to be grateful for, not criticize, in those around you, especially loved ones.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

81. According to the article in the Wall Street Journal, people who don?t maintain an “attitude of gratitude” tend to be ______________.

82. What are the major findings of the new study at Hofstra University about?

83. According to the passage, how can people probably avoid “gratitude tiredness”?

81. less happy and healthy

82. Benefits of gratitude for adolescents. / Adolescents benefit from feeling gratitude.

83. By regularly recording specific things they are grateful for.

My wife and I recently completed a trip to China with China Highlights. It was a very memorable vacation. From start to finish, China Highlights was very helpful and supportive. The start of our trip began with an Internet search for a tour agency that would meet our needs and expectations. After reviewing and submitting questions to websites of many companies, we selected China Highlights. Our decision was based on the speed and content of their responses, along with the significant amount of support information provided both on their websites and in their emailed attachments. In addition, the proposed journey and price for a private tour including plane fares between cities and first class seats on a high speed train were strong incentives (激励) to select China Highlights. Their assistance and flexibility in finalizing the itinerary, with favorable payment terms, further convinced us that we made a good choice. We relied on his recommendations for several pre-departure and planning issues Up to the time of departure, Michael was always available to quickly response to our ongoing questions and ensured that we left fully prepared.

From the time that we first arrived in Beijing and at every destination of the trip, the guide and the driver were at the airport / train station with signs for us. Conversely, as we left each city, they took care in getting us to the proper check-in area on time, with enough instructions for us to easily continue boarding THE transportation despite obvious communication issues since we did not speak Chinese. In hindsight, our concerns about travelling between locations were unnecessary. Similarly, travelling throughout the cities, as we visited each attraction, was very comfortable. The guides kept us informed of historical and local information. One suggestion would be to pre-identify any sites to visit and have them included in the final journey rather than try to change during the visit.

The sights that we visited were most impressive. Obviously, the Great Wall, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, and the Terra Cotta Soldiers were everything we expected. The guides were very knowledgeable, and helped us understand many aspects of these areas.

After we returned home, China Highlights followed up to make sure that we were satisfied with our trip, and to get any feedback that we wanted to provide. They even addressed some minor issues that we cited. Overall, China Highlights went over and above our expectations.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

81. What made the couple choose China Highlights during their visit to China?

82. The overseas visitors were satisfied with China Highlights services except ___________________.

83. During their visit, not only the sights but also ________________ made a great impression on them.

84. How did China Highlights improve its quality of service after the visitors finished their journey?

81. That China Highlights was very helpful and supportive.

支持：

Nowadays, more and more people, including some celebrities cannot resist the temptation to take photos of themselves in places with breathtaking scenery, regardless of the dangers involved. Some people support it while others do not.

Generally I am in favor of the behavior. With the development of social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, people have a burning desire to create and share some extraordinary photos. Therefore, they will try every means to be different and impress others with unique photos. Also, when people go to a beautiful or peculiar place, where they will never come again during their lifetime, they firmly believe it is worthwhile to take some amazing photos even though it is dangerous. Certainly, when they get older, these special photos will serve as a reminder of their happy old days, which contributes to their health. Some other people are obsessed with take selfies just because some celebrities do so too. They want to follow the fashion.

So, it’s safe to conclude that it is understandable to take selfies even though it may be dangerous.

反对：

With selfies getting more popular than ever despite the risks, too many people, even some celebrities are dying to get a picture, leaving the public divided into two opposing groups: “For” and “Against”.

I tend to take the “Against” side for two reasons. Firstly, a cool selfie could cost you your life, and there have been several reports about people losing their lives while taking selfies. I strongly hold the belief that nothing is more important than life itself. People cannot afford to take life for granted, and death is not a joke. Secondly, people who are addicted to selfies are more likely to push the boundaries of normal behaviour, which may present a great danger to other people or the environment. They don’t care about annoying people in their social media or care about the tourist attraction they are destroying.

In short, not only is taking selies at the risk of your life worthwhile, it may also bring danger or annoyance to the world around you.

Here are five letters from readers listed in 1-5. All the greetings and signatures are left out. Suppose you are a

secretary of the magazine CR (Crazy English Reader), for each one find a suitable reply from A-F. Mark the correct letter (A-F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra reply which you don’t need to use.

61. I am a reader of CR. Recently I found students translate some articles of CR. I appreciate your offering an opportunity to us beginners to practise using English. So I want to ask how they can obtain these articles and translated them for you, and what qualities you require. Thank you.

62. I love your Crazy English Reader magazine! It provides valuable data for work in our English teaching. My wife and I are teaching Conversational English so I’ve been giving you a bit of a plug at our middle school. I told the students to “get a copy!” It’s good stuff! Fantastic!

63. I’m one of Yao’s fans from Guangzhou. I have read the Yao Ming articles in No.7 Crazy English Reader. I want to know his correspondence address and the official website. Could you please tell me? Thank you very much indeed.

64. First of all, I must say thank you very much to all the CE Reader editors who gave us a really good English magazine. Secondly, I want to give you a piece of advice. In each passage, you gave us some new words with their Chinese translation. However, as far as my knowledge, I think you should give us not only the Chinese meaning but also the English meaning so as to know the words more accurately. Thank you!

65. I am an editor of the English Monthly of our school. I have a question that is how to say the position of the paper e.g., 总编 责任编辑 and so on. I hope you can help me to tell me the word in English. The more the better. Thank you so much! I love the book very much. Now, I do this work, I need study more information about this work, if you have time, please email me. Thank you.

A． Thank you for your suggestion. We may try that in some future issues of CR. I think the best way to improve your reading vocabulary is to be able to guess the meaning of the word from the other words around it. Also, if you have an English dictionary, it’s good to look up the words and then mark them down in a notebook and review them later on. Then if you really want to learn how to use the words, try using them in conversation or in writing. Hope this helps.

B． The best way for you to learn the different positions in a newspaper or magazine is to get a copy of an all-English magazine or newspaper and then copy down the different positions. There are also titles such as Managing Editor, reporter, Copy Editor, Photo Editor and Layout Editor. I hope this helps. If you have some more specific questions, you can send them to me and I’ll try to answer.

C．The best way to reach Yao directly is through his home team, the Shanghai Sharks. You can write him at 2570 Xietu Road, Shanghai. For more information on Yao, you can look at the sports section in sina. com. I hope this

helps. Another idea is that you can try to write Yao while he’s living and playing in Houston. You can try to reach Yao in the US at: Yao Ming Compaq Centre 10 Houston, TX 77046

D．Thank you for being such a careful reader of CR. Yes, you’re right we made a mistake in the writing of that Chinese word. Each issue we try to read very carefully each article and its translation to make sure there are no mistakes, but unfortunately a few mistakes always get by. But you encourage us to keep improving, so thank you. E． Yes, we do have several students who help us translate some of the articles in our magazine. We contact these translators directly after interviewing their translation work. Afterwards we assign the articles to them for translation. If you are interested in being one of our translators you can send us some information about yourself and a sample of your translation work.

F． Thank you for helping us to promote CR. We’re glad it’s helpful to your students. We always try to include articles that reflect real life. It’s our hope that CR will not only improve student’s English but also open up a different worldview.

任务型阅读：

61答案E从关键词translate可知应选E。

62答案F plug 在此处的意思为“推荐”，正好与F项中promote相吻合。

63答案C 只有C项提到了Yao Ming。

64答案A句中的advice 与A 项中的 suggestion相吻合。

65答案B此处询问“总编﹑责任编辑”等词的英文翻译，B项给了“Managing Editor, reporter, Copy Editor, Photo Editor and Layout Editor”等词, 所以选B。

第二节：下面文章中有5处（第61-65题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出适合各段意思的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

A. Manufacturing industry in information economy

B. News in the age of information

C. Argument about individual accounts and their reliability

D. Be your own investigative journalist

E. Don’t believe everything you read in the newspapers．

F. Information is presented in an entertaining way．

61. _______

With the arrival of the age of “information economy”, intellectual work is becoming a more important source of wealth than manufacturing．Organizations in all walks of life are doing more to spread their information．So people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for them．A lot of our news is actually collected from press

releases and reports of events intentionally staged for journalists．In the information age, journalists spend their time, not investigating, but passing on the words of a spokesperson．

62. _______

There is a joke in the novel Scoop about the newspaper’s owner, Lord Copper．The editors can never disagree with him．When he’s right about something they answer “definitely”, and when he’s wrong they say “to some extent, Lord Copper．” It seems reasonable to suppose that, in the real world, the opinions of such powerful people still influence the journalists and editors who work for them．

63. _______

In countries where the news is not officially controlled, it may be provided by commercial organizations who depend on advertising．The news has to attract viewers and maintain its audience ratings．I suspect that some stories get air-time just because there happen to be exciting pictures to show．In Britain, we have the tabloid newspapers which millions of people read simply for entertainment．There is progressively less room for historical background, or statistics, which are harder to present as a sensational story．

64. _______

There is an argument that with spreading access to the internet and cheap technology for recording sound and images we will all be able to find exactly the information we want．People around the world will be able to publish their own eye-witness accounts and compete with the widely-accepted news-gatherers on equal terms．But what it will mean also is that we’ll be subjected to a still greater amount of nonsense and lies．Any web log may contain the latest information of the year, or equally, a made-up story that you will never be able to check．

65. _______

Maybe the time has come to do something about it, and I don’t just mean changing your choice of TV channel or newspaper．In a world where everyone wants you to listen to their version, you only have two choices: switch off altogether or start looking for sources you can trust．The investigative journalist of the future is everyone who wants to know the truth．
