I work in a factory. For eight hours a day, five days a week. My work doesn't mean anything to me, and I feel 46 for every valuable minute of my time that it takes.
My working day starts with "clocking-in"(打卡上班). In a job such as mine this is one of the most reasonable parts of the day. For those who don't know what it is: a 47 is pressed and, in blue figures, a time you begin your work is 48 on one's card. You just dare to be late: then you will find that your time has been stamped in RED print. It's so mechanical(机械的) that one 49 the time to be always the same. But it isn't.
A. boring B. gained s C. clearly D. quickly E. waiting for
After "clocking-in" one starts work. Work is done from habit and given hardly a passing thought. Nothing is 50 from work itself- it is nothing to offer. What's important is not to do a job well, but to finish it 51 .The trouble is, one never finishes it. Either one job is followed by another which is equally 52 or the job goes on and on forever. You never feel you have done something meaningful.
Time is what the factory worker sells: not labour, not skill, but time. From Monday morning on, the rest of the working week is spent 53 Friday night. Everybody seems to be washing his life away. And away it goes sold to the man who owns the factory.

Part 3 Reading and Writing
(第三部分 读与写)
IX. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)：(共50分)
A. Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)
Dear Sir / Madam,
I am writing to complain about the TV advertisement for your product Cheese in a Tube. In my opinion, there is some false information in it, and it also encourages children to have bad eating habits.
In the advertisement, there is a popular TV cartoon character who says that Cheese in a Tube is "the best cheese in the world". This is, of course, not true. However, I have two young children who love the cartoon character in the advertisement. Now they hope to eat the cheese every day.
They believe that your cheese is the best in the world and they don't want any other kind.
The cartoon character then says that Cheese in a Tube is "good for young kids". Well, I checked the information on the packet. There certainly isn't very much cheese in your product - only 5% - and it has more fat and calories(热量) than chocolate! It's probably one of the unhealthiest things you can buy in the supermarket. Child obesity is a huge problem in our country. Our children are the fattest in the world, and products like yours just make things worse.
Finally, the advertisement ends with two beautiful, slim, healthy-looking children sitting in front of the TV. Their mother calls them to come to the kitchen to eat a vegetable salad. The children say they're watching their favourite cartoon - the same character who is in the advertisement, of course - so what does the mother do? She brings each of them some Cheese in a Tube! The parents eat their salad in the kitchen while the children enjoy the cheese in front of the TV! I believe that it's good for children and parents to eat together, but obviously (明显地) your company doesn't.
Please change this terrible advertisement. And why don't you start making healthier foods too?
Yours sincerely,
Maddy Moore

Have you ever seen the Man in the Moon? If you 75 the Moon closely on some nights, you can see the face of the Man in the Moon. Some people say that they can see an old man carrying sticks. Others say that they can see a girl reading a book. Long long ago, the Romans and Greeks thought that the stars and planets they could see were gods living in the sky.

There are many superstitions (迷信的) connected with the Moon. It is said to be not 80 to look at a new moon through glass, but the full moon is the time to make wishes or choose a husband.
