Directions： There are three passages followed by questions。 Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B， C and D。 Choose the right answer for each question。 Write your answers on the answer sheet。
Passage 1
Billy is 14 years old and in the ninth grade. He has a part—time job which gets him up every morning at 5 o'clock。 He is a newspaper boy. Each morning，Billy leaves the house at 5:15 to go to the corner，where the newspapers are. The newspapers are delivered to the corner by truck at midnight。 He always takes a wagon to carry them。
In the winter， it is still dark when he gets up,but during the rest of the year it is light。 Billy must deliver the newspapers to the houses of people on his route in all kinds of weather。 He tries to put each paper on the porch(门廊）where it will be protected from wind and rain or snow. His customers think he does a good job。 Sometimes they give him tips（小费)。
Billy earns about ＄ 70 per month，and he is saving some of the money to go to college. He spends the rest on records and clothes。 Once a month,he has to collect money from his customers。 Since many of them work during the day,Billy has to collect the money at night. Sometimes，when Billy is sick，his brother has to deliver the newspapers. Once,Billy’s father had to help。 Billy has seventy customers now，but he hopes to get more soon。 Someday，if he gets more customers，Billy might win a prize for being an outstanding（突出的)newspaper boy。 He wants to win a trip to Europe，but he will be happy if he wins a new bicycle。
31。 Keeping a part—time job tells us that Billy ______.

35。 The prize for an outstanding newspaper boy is ______。
［A］ a trip to Europe
［B] a new bicycle

Passage 2
Friends or contemporaries（同龄人)are a great influence on the actions，thoughts,and words of young people。 This influence,known as peer pressure,is quite common among children。 Why are children so easily affected by what their peers do,think，or say？
Most of us,children included，feel a strong need to be liked by others. We seek acceptance and friendship。 In order to gain them，we act like our friends，and listen to their advice,whether or not it is helpful. Some of us even begin to think like our friends，sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values。 An example that comes to mind is the young person who gets involved with drugs because his peer group is experimenting with them. Parents may try to exert pressure to keep him away from drugs，but frequently peer pressure is too great. This conflict between being your own person and，at the same time,responding to the pressures of a group remains a problem for young people。
36. The passage mainly talks about _____.
［A] friendship
［B］ peer pressure
［C］ conflicts between young people and their parents
［D] problems for young people
37。 In the third sentence of the second paragraph,”them"refers to _____。
［A］ children
［B] strong needs to be liked by others
［C］ acceptance and friendship
[D］ our friends' advice
38. ”being your own person" in the last sentence most probably means _____.
［A］ acting according to your own beliefs and values
[B] trying not to tell any lie
[C］ keeping yourself away from drugs
[D] having enough self-confidence
39。 The second paragraph focuses on _____。
[A］ what peer pressure is
［B］ how young people start to take drugs
［C] what parents should do for their children
[D］ why young people are easily influenced by their peers
40。 Who can influence us on the actions， thoughts？ _____。
［A］ Teacher
［B］ Father
[C］ Mother
[D] Friends and contemporaries
Passage 3
Background music may seem harmless，but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it。 Recorded background music first found its way into factories，shops and restaurants in the US But it soon spread to other parts of the world。 Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.
To begin with，”muzak"（音乐广播网）was intended simply to create a soothing atmosphere. Recently，however，it’s become big business — thanks in part to recent research. Dr。 Ronald Milliman,an American marketing expert，has shown that music can boost(促进)sales or increase factory production by as much as a third。
But，it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all on sales。 Slow music can increase receipts by 38%。 This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they like to buy. Yet，slow music isn’t always answer. Dr。Milliman found,for example，that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals，which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play up—tempo music to keep the customers moving - unless of course，the resulting indigestion leads to complaints!
41. The reason why background music is so popular is that ______。
[A］ it is harmless everywhere
［B] it can boost sales in all places
[C] it can help to create a soothing atmosphere
［D] it can help to have more meals
42。 Background music means ______.
[A] light music
[B] slow music
[C］ fast music
[D］ the music you are listening to while you are doing something
43。 Restaurant owners complain about background music because ______。
［A］ it results in indigestion
［B] it keeps customers moving
[C] it increases their sales
［D］ it decreases their sales
44。 The word ”up-tempo music"（para. 3 the last line but two）probably means ______。
[A］ slow music
[B］ light music
[C] fast music
［D] classical music
45。 According to this passage， we learned that ______
［A] Dr。 Milliman made background music.
[B］ background music spread to the world by Dr。 Milliman.
［C］ Dr。 Milliman found fast music meant customers took longer to eat.
［D] background music can have a powerful effect on some people。
