A
Have you ever been to the world’s smallest bookstore?
The World’s Smallest Bookstore，whose official name is just these three words，sits quietly about 100 miles northeast of Toronto．
The bookstore is about 10 feet by 10 feet，so it is easy to imagine how tiny it really is．The bookstore is open 24 hours a day．Inside the bookstore are various books，especially literary books and classic authors’ works．So if you are looking for something less popular，you may get a bit disappointed there．
Another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars．All the expenses are paid on the honor system，which means buyers should make a note of what they’ve bought and leave their money by themselves．So the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple: pens，papers，light bulbs and a label-maker．
In order to catch passers-by’s attention，the billboards(广告牌）of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself．With these large eye-catchers，many people are willing to stop by and have a visit．
21．What’s the passage mainly about?
A．The world’s smallest bookstore． B．A strange way of selling books．
C．The popular books nowadays． D．The popular bookstores in the world．
22．Which of the following books might you most probably get in the store?
A．Books on popular science． B．Literary books．
C．The year book of a university． D．Books on economic control．
23．How could you buy a book from the store?
A．The salesman will help you find the book．
B．The salesman will get the money for the book．
C．Choose the book(s）and leave the money there．
D．Pay on the net and then get the book(s）in the store．
B
Finding time to enjoy life is becoming harder and harder. As the average workweek lengthens, leisure time drops. Yet some of the world’s busiest people are able to develop rewarding careers and also make time for family and leisure activities. Here is their best advice, plus that of time-management experts:
1. Use your peak hours wisely.
People tend to be most alert in late morning and midevening. Afternoon brings an increase in sleepiness. Use your high-efficiency hours to handle difficult jobs or engage in creative thinking. For low-efficiency times, concentrate on cleaning up or sorting your mail. By adapting to your mental condition, you can accomplish more in less time.
2. Make a plan. [来源:学科网]
Just 20 minutes of organizing can save an hour of extra effort remembering what must be done. “Don’t try to carry your life around in your head,” says Lucy Hedrick, author of Five Days to an Organized Life. “Write things down so you can free your brain for more inventive pursuit (追求).”
3. Discourage drop-ins.
The person who welcomes every visitor will get plenty of conversation but won’t accomplish much.
The trick is to develop harmless ways to protect yourself from minute-stealing interruptions. David E. Levy, a public-relations consultant (顾问), uses an alternative to the open-door policy by keeping his door half open. The message is clear: he really doesn’t want you to come in, but you can if it is important.
4. Tame (驯服) the telephone.
Few devices save more minutes—or waste so many more—than the telephone. Signal the end of your conversation with a phrase such as “Before we hang up…” You can save even more time by not taking every incoming call.
Keep a record of when people you call regularly are least busy and call them at those times. Even better, make appointments to call important contacts.
To help us gain an extra hour every day, a clockmaker in Dallas has created a timer measuring each minute at 57.6 seconds. The 2.5 seconds borrowed from each minute add up to an extra 60 minutes at the end of each day.
24. According to Lucy Hedrick, you should ________.
A. carry out your plans when you are free
B. stop occupying your mind with lots of things
C. forget everything annoying when taking a walk
D. enjoy your life whenever you can
25. Why does David E. Levy keep his door half open?
A. To show drop-ins are not welcome at all.
B. To tell drop-ins to come if they want.
C. To keep unimportant visitors from dropping in.
D. To indicate he is expecting a visitor.
26. Who works most efficiently according to the passage?
A. An editor who is trying to produce a title for his article in the afternoon.
B. A manager who is designing selling plans with his office door open.
C. A visitor to a mayor without making an appointment.
D. A student in class without taking any incoming calls.
27. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Gain an Extra Hour Every Day B. Live One Day at a Time
C. How to Live Your Life to the Fullest D. Create Your Own Opportunities
C
Educating girls quite possibly outputs a higher rate of return than any other investment (投资) available in the developing world. Women’s education may be an unusual field for economists, but raising women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social problem. And economics, with its emphasis on motivation, provides an explanation for why so many girls can’t receive education.
Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school—the prediction turns into reality, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.
An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a good circle.
Few will disagree with it that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant influence on health practices, including family planning.
28. The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is ________.
　 A. troublesome B. rewarding C. labor-saving D. expensive
29. What does the underlined part probably mean?
　 A. Girls will turn out to be less valuable than boys.
　 B. Girls will be capable of realizing their own dreams.
　 C. Girls will eventually find their goals in life beyond reach.
　 D. Girls will be increasingly discontented with their life at home.
30. The author believes that a vicious circle can turn into a good one when ________.
　 A. women care more about education
　 B. girls can gain equal access to education[来源:学|科|网]
　 C. a family has fewer but healthier children
　 D. parents can afford their daughters’ education
31. The passage mainly discusses ________.
　 A. unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countries
　 B. the potential earning power of well-educated women
　 C. the major contributions of educated women to society
　 D. the economic and social benefits of educating women
D
The financial crisis is reminding Americans of a lesson they first learned in childhood: Share and share alike. They are sharing or swapping tools and books, cars and handbags, time and talent.
The renewed desire to share shows up in a variety of examples: A car-sharing service has had a 70 percent membership increase since the crisis occurred. Some companies encouraged his employees to take vanpooling. Governments are putting bikes on the street for public use. How-to-swap Web sites are increasing quickly.
The economy reflects the way Americans have cut back, especially on daily items: Department store sales dropped 1.3 percent in June. People are not buying cars, and as a result, auto sales dropped 27.7 percent last month. They are not paying others to do what they can do themselves — Home Depot reports increased attendance at in-store do-it-yourself clinics. And although paint sales are down in general, according to Sherwin-Williams, individual consumers are still buying.
When Tom Burdett needed to cut some tiles at his home outside Annapolis, he refused to buy expensive tools. So he asked his neighbors and friends for help. Sure enough, someone had just what he needed. And when that friend needed help fixing a satellite dish, Burdett volunteered to help.
The sharing mind-set is not new to the American culture, but many Americans give it up when the nation changed from an agricultural society to an industrial one, said Rosemary Hornak, a psychology professor at Meredith College in Raleigh, N.C. They moved farther from their families and did not have time to connect with new neighbors because they worked so much, she said.
Neighborhood conversations tell more of the story as the movement grows organically (持续地) in communities across the Washington region and the nation. On one street in Arlington, for example, neighbors are collecting their separate money for mulch (覆盖料) and dividing it among themselves.
32. What is the text mainly about?
A. Introducing a new way of life. B. Sharing in the financial crisis.
C. How to reduce the living expense. D. How to handle the financial crisis.
33. Why do people in modern times give up the sharing mind-set?
A. Because they don’t need it at all. B. Because they aren’t interested in it.
C. Because they are busy with work. D. Because they hate being disturbed.
34. The underlined phrase “cut back” in Para. 3 probably means ________.
A. shared B. helped C. abandoned D. reduced
35. It can be inferred from the passage that _________________________.
A. more and more Americans solve problems in their daily life by helping each other .[来源:学* B. if the prices of service goes down, individual consumers won’t do something themselves.
C. the sharing-mind set is a strange to many Americans.
D. when the crisis ends, Americans will abandon the sharing-mind set.
