The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs. 71 Some people are compulsive (难以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.
72 Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day, but it’s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need. Even though they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.
The question is: why do they have this addiction? There isn’t a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. 73
Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can bring out problems. Some of them can be psychological. If this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, ｌｉｋｅ for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot. 74 They just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don’t have. 75

A. Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs, it is difficult to get rid of.
B. Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity.
C. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.
D. However in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions.
E. People addicted to computer games consider the games as great ways to amuse themselves.
F. They get deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt(破产) and get sent to prison.
G. It can also cause financial problems.

Most drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored (水果味道的) contain no fruit at all, while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food Commission.
“Shoppers need to check the labels (标签) before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent,” said Food Commission spokesperson Ian Tokelove. “Food production is highly competitive. 71 It will increase profits, and consumers won’t always realize they are being tricked.”
Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables, or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors. Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores. 72 Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit. In addition, each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar.
73 Let’s take jam as an example. Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.
74 Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought. Under current UK law, food packages do not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. “Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packet with pictures of strawberries is misleading. 75 Unfortunately, it is also legal and widespread,” Tokelove said. “It’s time to take measures to protect the consumers’ rights.”

A. The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.
B. Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.
C. They found that about 60 percent of them didn’t contain any fruit at all.
D. If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are ｌｉｋｅly to do so.
E. It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products.
F. Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all.
G. The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.

We had been living in our valley for sixteen months when we first realized the dangers that could exist. It was the year when the storms came early, before the calendar even hinted at winter, even before November was out. ____71_____
Soon snow began to fall. Within a day it lay some 15 centimeters deep. It almost completely blocked our lane and made the streamside path slippery and dangerous. But on the neighboring heights the snow was much deeper and stayed for longer. Up there the wind blasted fiercely. Deeply in our valley we felt only sudden gusts of wind: trees swayed but the branches held firm. 
And yet we knew that there was reason for us to worry. The snow and wind were certainly inconvenient but they did not really trouble us greatly. ___72______ It reminded us of what could have occurred if circumstances had been different, if the flow of water from the hills had not, many years before, been controlled, held back by a series of dams.
_____73____ Day after day, we watched furious clouds pile up high over the hills to the west. Sinister grey clouds extended over the valleys. They twisted and turned, rising eastwards and upwards, warning of what was to come. We had seen enough of the sky; now we began to watch the river, which every day was becoming fuller and wilder.
The river seemed maddened as the waters poured almost horizontally down to its lower stretches. ____74____ 
It was far deeper than we’d ever seen it so near our home, lunging furiously at its banks. For three days we prayed that it would stay below its wall. ____75_____
A. It was the river, the Ryburn, which normally flowed so gently, that threatened us most. 
B. The great power of all this water prevents us from believing ourselves to be completely safe in our home. 
C. In a short time the snow started to melt.
D. Just a couple of meters from our cottage, the stream seemed wild beneath the bridge.
E. Our prayers were answered as the dam held and the waters began to subside. 
F. They grew so strong that we couldn’t control it.
G. Until then, we had felt safe and sheltered in our valley.

Warren Buffett
For someone who is such a successful investor, Warren Buffett comes off as a pretty ordinary guy. He was born on August 30, 1930. __1__ He used to go door-to-door and sell soda water.

For a long time Chester Carlson carried around his little black box—the invention over which he had worked and struggled for years. ___1___ , such as General Electric, International Business Machines(IBM). Nobody wanted it.
Nobody wanted to invest a penny in it.___2___ , for the little black box is the heart of the multi-billion-dollar Xerox Corporation. Carlson is the inventor of “xerography”(from two Greek words meaning “dry writing”), the dry-printing process used in thousands and thousands of offices, businesses, industries, universities, shops, and government agencies around the world.Thanks to Carlson, it now takes minutes to copy a document which, twenty years ago, would have kept a secretary busy for a whole day. And for a few pennies anyone can have a copy of anything from cooking recipes to Greek poetry. ___3___ .
When Chester Carlson went to work in a patent office in 1930, the copying methods were slow, dirty, and expensive. ___4___ . One night, after working late and painfully, he decided that somebody had better find an easier way to do it. He went to work in the kitchen of his apartment with measuring cups and cooking pots.

___5 ___ . Only in 1944 did the Battelle Memorial Institute of Columbus, Ohio, agree to spend $3,000 for research on Carlson’s invention. According to the agreement, Carlson was to receive 25 percent of all profits; his share would rise to 40 percent if he could repay Battelle the $3,000 within five years.
