Commercial(商业广告)business is profitable(有利可图的)，and most radio and TV stations depend on the income．The prices for radio and TV commercials are different according to the popularity(声望)of the station and the time they give．Take WGY，a rock music station in Albary，New York，for instance，they ask $100 for a one-minute commercial from 6 a．m．to 10 am., the morning driving time．This is a time when people are driving on their way to work and they like to turn on their car-radios．During other hours of the day the cost varies from $25 to $60 for one minute．TV commercials are much more expensive．During a good national or international football game or baseball game，the price for a one-minute TV commercial may reach as high as $100 000．On local TV station, prices of commercials are different according to the different programmes and the time of showing．At 7 pm. when the TV stations are showing their most popular programmes, the price for a commercial for 30 seconds is $800．

Without proper planning，tourism can cause problems．For example，too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of the country. If tourists create too much traffic，the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy．They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely．They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy．It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them．Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists．Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants．
Too much tourism can be a problem．If tourism grows too quickly，people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry．This means that other parts of the country’s economy can
suffer．
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism，people can lose jobs．Businesses can also lose money．It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels，airports，first-class roads，and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example，a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build．If this room is not used most of the time，the owners of the hotel will lose money．
Building a hotel is just a beginning．There must be many other support facilities as well，including roads to get to the hotel，electricity，sewers(下水道)to handle waste，and water．All of these support facilities cost money．If they are not used because there are not enough tourists，jobs and money are lost.
44．Which of the following do you think might have been discussed in the part before this selection?
A. It is extremely important to develop tourism．
B．Building roads and hotels is important．
C. Support facilities are highly necessary．

47．It can be inferred from the text that ____.
A. the author doesn’t like tourism developing so fast
B. local people will benefit from tourist attraction
C．other parts of a country’s economy won’t benefit from tourism much
D．we can’t build too many support facilities
48．The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will ____.
A. waste a lot of money B．weaken their economy
C help establish their customs D．help improve their 1ife

Every culture and every country in the world celebrates New Year，but not everyone does it the same way．The countries of the America and Europe welcome the new year on January the first．This practice began with the Romans．Julius Caesar changed the date of the new year from the first day of March to the first day of January．In the Middle East，New Year is when spring begins．People in China and Vietnam celebrate it on Tet，which is the first day of their calendar based on the moon．Tet usually comes between January 21 and February 19．Rosh Hashana，which is the Jewish New Year，comes at the end of summer．The Hindus in India celebrate the first day of each season, so they have four New Years．
In all of these cultures，there is a practice of making noise．People made noise in ancient times to drive away the evil spirits from the home．Today, making noise is more of a custom than a religious ritual．Many people do it with fire-woks．In Japan，people go from house to house making noise with drums and bamboo sticks．Young people in Denmark throw broken
pieces of pottery against the sides of friends，houses．
In the United States, many people stay up until midnight on New Year’s Eve to watch the clock pass from one year to the next．Friends often gather together at a party on New Year’s Eve, and when the New Year comes, all ring bells, blow horns, blow whistles sing, and kiss each other．A favorite Scottish song which everyone sings together is “Auld Lang Syne”．The works tell of old friends and good times．Black-eyed peas, which are eaten immediately after midnight, are a favorite food．They are supposed to bring good luck to the person who eats them as his or her first food in the New Year．

Glynis Davis：
I first piled on the pounds when I was in the family way and I couldn’t lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club．My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months．I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked．
But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits．I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year……but it didn’t happen．Instead of losing the pounds，I put them on．I’d lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bag of fish and chips didn’t make any difference--but the scales don’t lie．
Roz Juma：
T0 be honest，I never weigh myself any more. I’ve learnt to be happy with myself．It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips．My idea is simple．You shouldn’t be too much thinking about food and dieting．Instead，you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a super-thin body．This is obviously the size I’m meant to be and，most of all，I’m happy with it．
Lesley Codwin：
I was very happy at winning Young Slimmer of the year．I’d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me! That might have been my problem--perhaps from then on I didn’t pay any attention to myself. Winning a national competition makes everything worse，though because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you．I feel a complete failure because I’ve put on weight again．
Ros Langfod：
Before moving in with my husband Gavin，I’d always been about 110 poun ds，but the pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year．Every so often I try to go on a die……I’m really good on a few days，then end up having the children’s leftovers or eating happily chocolate--my weakness．I’d like to be slim，but right now my duty is the children and home．I might take more exercise when my kids are older．
54．What do you think the four women were all talking about?
A．Their own slimming matter．
B．Their life after marriage．
C．Their work as a housewife．
D．Different diets they prefer．
55．Where are these short passages most likely to be taken from?
A．Talks on the air．
B．Advertisements on the wall．
C．Books in a library．
D．Magazines for children．
56．What does the underlined word “scales” po ssibly mean?
A．The coach(教练)in the slimming club．
B．Some tool to measure weight．
C．Glynis Davis’dear husband．
D．The salesperson in a food shop．
57．Which of the following best describes each of the four women’s attitudes towards slimming?
1．Glynis Davis a．I put on weight soon after got married．
2．Roz Juma b．Fame doesn't necessarily mean success．
3．Lesley Codwin c．Facts speak much louder than words．
4．Ros Langfod d. I like myself as I am and to be what you are.
A．1一d；2一a；3一b；4一c B．1一c；2一b；3一d；4一a

So long as teachers fall to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them．It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading．Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible.”
Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes．They differ in kind and function．The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it
possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read．Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language．Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny．
If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions．“Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”
When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are，and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.
58．The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ________.
A. it is one of the most difficult school courses
B．students spend endless hours in reading
C．reading tasks are assigned with guidance
D. too much time is spent in teaching about reading
59．The teaching of reading will be successful if teachers can ________.
A. improve conditions at school for the students
B．enable students to develop their own way of reading
C．devise the most efficient system for reading
D．make their teaching activities observable
60．The underlined word “scrutiny” most probably means ________.
A．inquiry B．observation C．control D．suspicion 61．According to the passage learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ________.
A．children become highly motivated
B．teacher and learner roles are interchangeable
C. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge
D．reading enriches children’s experience
62．The main idea of the passage is ________.
A．teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read
B．teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible
C．reading ability is something acquired rather than taught
D．reading is more complicated than generally believed

Studying Abroad
In recent years，studying abroad has become more and more popular with middle
school students.
Overseas students can spread a variety of cultures from different countries．While
staying abroad，they are able to broaden their views and can 1earn advanced technology．Of course，good language environment is available to them as well as an advantage for their study．However，studying abroad can have some disadvantages．First，it brings about heavy economic burden to their families．Second，young students are not experienced enough to manage themselves．They get homesick，lonely as a result of being far away from parents，and even commit crimes being influenced by the bad sides of the countries they stay in．So，it has to be reconsidered before they are sent out．
