These are 45 delights—small pleasures．I hope this doesn’t 46 too silly in today’s rough，loud world．I wonder if the new generation can appreciate some such things． We’re told we 47 the latest model car, or TV or computer to be happy，but it’s all a trick, a marketing move．No sooner do we get these things, 48 we’re looking to replace them 49 a newer car, or TV or computer． This is not to say that money isn't important. Money can help 50 , clothes and house those in need．Money is neither all good nor all bad—it’s just a 51 of life that can be used for good things or abused(滥用). I suppose having 52 money worries can give a certain peace of mind that 53 a person to have a good night’s rest.

Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian(百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a hairdresser, or a waiter to lose professional identity（职业身份） than to step out of uniform? Primary among the argument against uniforms in their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they are likely to think ,speak, and act similarly on the job at least. Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes, Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain , requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with types of civilian clothes. 60 People are likely to think that a man in uniform_________. A. suggests quality work B. shows his social position C. appears to be more practical D. looks more fresh and attractive 61 Those who are against uniforms believe that people wearing uniforms_________. A. are usually helpful B. have little freedom C. lose personal character D. enjoy greater popularity 62 It can be concluded from the passage that_________. A. people generally trust a person in uniform B.people enjoy wearing comfortable uniform C.the cost of the uniform is acceptable to people D.people wear uniforms to show their professions 63 The underlined sentence tells us that_________. A. it’s impossible that people can be recognized more easily by their uniforms B.people’s identity can be recognized more easily by their uniforms C.nurses and policemen must wear uniforms when working D.people in those professions act in an easier way without uniforms

The repairman told me, “No charge, Professor Pan! We’re friends.” “I’d rather pay,” I replied. “If it’s free, I can’t afford it!” Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, “We’re friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place! According to the Americans “There’s no free lunch.” meaning, there’s a price for everything, and I’m always looking around to figure out what this means. Many of our neighbors have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him. “Wait until you have something major to fix!” he insists. I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind (磨) flour for bread. A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he’d had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granting (花岗石). Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money. But cash can’t compensate (补偿) for the greatest gift—friendship. When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,” I said, “they are professors, with plenty of to do. But probably you’re right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I” And I joined the group. We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived. One man said, “They were pocket-sized when you came here. Now they’re taller than you. How time flies!” How time flies. And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know, which they cannot keep. They freely give off their time, never too busy to help a friend. And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive. So the next time someone says, “No charge. We’re friends!” I will thank them heartily. But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch. 69.Why did the author insist paying the repairman when he was offered free repairs? A. Because he was an upright (正直的) man. B. Because he didn’t know the repairman. C. Because he thought it natural to pay for others’ service. D. Because he didn’t want to help others in return. 70. Generally, the author thinks that _____ . A. Chinese are generous and always ready to help their friends B. Chinese are good at exchange of equal values C. Chinese are free enough to drink tea and chat with their friends D. Chinese are helpful but don’t treasure time 71. The best title of the article should be _____ . A. Still no free lunch B. A good lesson from the Chinese C. True help or not D. Learn to both give and receive 72. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Chinese seldom refuse payment for professional services. B. When a peasant knew the author needed a mill, he made one for the author himself C. The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy their life. D. Finally, the author changed his mind and decided to do as the Chinese do.

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
