A
Semi-retired advertising agency owner Stephen Thomas, 28 , has been investing on and off for the past 30 years. He made money in the.dotcom boom but got his fingers burned when the bubble burst in March 2000. When he got access to his pension he decided to start investing again, this time with the help of his son Sam.

Now the two meet up most afternoons at Stephen’s home in Sandbach , Cheshire to talk about investments. The day starts at 4 am when Sam looks at company announcements online. These regulatory announcements can include a firm’s accounts , general updates or news of mergers(合并) or acquisitions. Sam flags up companies that he thinks look interesting to his dad who then does some more research.
Each has an ISA (Individual Savings Account) with AJ Bell , which they use to buy individual stocks and shares. It is a risky way to invest but the two like doing their own research on companies and Stephen makes an effort to go to investor presentations and try to meet the CEO and directors of the firms they invest in and to speak to other investors in the companies.
They have invested in oil companies and pet care businesses , to name just a few. But while the investments of the two men are similar, they do have different approaches. While Sam likes to hold shares for the long term as he is saving money for his future retirement , Stephen likes to buy with any profits he makes.
Sam says, “We do not argue because we have separate ISAs. It means finally we make our own decisions about which shares to invest in. The only time we might have a disagreement is when we both want to use the login for the news service at the same time.”
1、What happened to Stephen in 2000?
A．He had to retire from the agency.
B．He gave away all his pensions.
C．He got injured in an accident.
D．He suffered a loss in his investment.
2、What does the underlined words “flags up”in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Marks.
B．Abandons.
C．Takes over.
D．Sets up.
3、How did Stephen usually conduct his own research?
A．By meeting clients and other investors.
B．By predicting the trend of the market.
C．By analyzing some research data.
D．By doing ongoing interviews online.
4、In what aspect do Sam and his father share in investment?
A．The way to deal with the return.
B．The percentage of the shares they hold.
C．The enthusiasm for the investment.
D．The approach to stock market research.

B
If you buy a washing machine, a fridge or a television in Europe, it comes with a sticker. Thanks to a 1992 EU rule, all appliances must be labelled (贴标签) with their energy efficiency. So why has our food system-which threatens 10,000 species with extinction, produces about 30% of greenhouse gases, and drives 800/o of our air pollution-only ever had voluntary eco-labels?
The appliances ruling had a huge impact; initially, 75% of fridges and freezers were rated G to D(low efficiency) , but today 98% are classed A++ or A+++. Worldwide, the energy efficiency of labelled appliances has increased three times faster than appliances without labels. Introducing an equal system for food could have an even bigger impact.
Mandatory environmental labels would change how we produce and consume in far-reaching ways. First, producers would have to measure their impacts in a uniform way and be accountable for the results. This would not be expensive: it is free to monitor environmental impacts using digital tools such as Field print and the Cool Farm Tool. Second, they support sustainable consumption. Our research found that products that look, taste and cost the same can have dramatically different environmental impacts. High-impact beef producers use 5,400% more land and create l,000% more greenhouse gases than low-impact producers. Labels would allow consumers to tell these products apart.
They would highlight both high-and low-impact producers, in the same way, across multiple products. This would encourage more people to think about their choices by exposing them to the facts every time they are in the shops. We can also use labels to turn smaller consumer changes into large environmental benefits: because a small number of producers create a large share of the impact, simply avoiding highimpact producers can make a huge contribution to pollution reductions.
1、Why does the author mention the appliances in Paragraph 1 ？
A．To applaud the 1992 EU rule.
B．To bring up the topic of labelling food.
C．To point out the pollution they caused.
D．To compare their energy consumption rates.

2、What do the figures in Paragraph 2 show?
A．The importance of saving energy.
B．The debate about eco-labelled appliances.
C．The effectiveness of the appliances ruling.
D．The problem caused by appliances of low efficiency.
3、What does the word “Mandatory” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Compulsory. B．Effective. C．Different. D．Independent.
4、What can be learned about eco-labels?
A．They will increase the profits of low-impact producers.
B．They can show producers' environmental impacts.
C．They will guide consumers to buy healthier food.
D．They can expose consumers to more products
