Passage one
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage

As she walked round the huge department store, Edith thought how difficult it was to choose a proper Christmas present for her father. She wished that he was as easy to please as her mother, who was always satisfied with a bottle of perfume(香水). Besides, shopping at this time of the year was most unpleasant experience: people stepped on your feet, and almost knocked you over in their hurry to get ahead of you.
Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter where she saw some beautiful ties. "They are real silk, the assistant said to her, trying to persuade her to buy one. "Worth double the price." But Edith knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
She moved on and then stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality pipes on sale---and the prices were very reasonable. Edith did not hesitate(犹豫)for long: although her father only smoked s pipe occasionally. She knew that this was a present which was certain to please him.
When she got home, with her small well-chosen present hidden in her handbag, her parents were already at the supper table. Her mother was especially happy. "Your father has at last decided to stop smoking," she informed her daughter.

Passage Two
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage

As prices and building costs keep rising, the "do-it-yourself" (DIY)trend (趋势) in the U.S. continues to grow.
"We need furniture(家具) for our living room," says John Ross," and we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs." John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Roses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around house.
Jim Hatfield has free boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420."I was deeply upset about it. Now I've finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself."
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the countries are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a "do-it-yourselfer", you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.

Questions 56to 60are based on the following passage

It would be very exciting to be a reporter on a newspaper. As soon as a reporter’s boss gives him a story to write, the reporter is on the job. He keeps his mind on what he is going to do. He does not begin writing the story until he knows what he is supposed to find out. He must know why he should write the story.
At times a reporter must search hard to find all of the facts he needs for a story. The facts may not be right under his nose. To find the facts, he must also be able to recognize important details (细节).
As a reporter is gathering information for a story, he asks himself questions: Should I use this piece of information? Is this an important fact?
A reporter writes the story as fact as he can, so it can go right away into the newspaper. The story also needs a headline, which tells very quickly what the news story is about. The headline is the part of the news that is printed bigger and blacker than the rest of the news story.
Every big newspaper has many reporters, because many stories are needed in the newspaper. Would you like to be one of them?
