washing machine and a microwave oven. your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. you almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. they feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. six percent of workers in britain took the decision to downshift last year.one couple who downshifted is daniel and liz. they used to work in central london. he was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. they would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. most evenings daniel wouldnt get home until eight or nine oclock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to new york for meetings. they both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of wales. “i always wanted to have a farm then,” says daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. its taken some getting used to, but its been worth it. we have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. however, i think its made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.liz, however, is not quite sure. “i used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. im not really a country girl, but i suppose im gradually getting used to looking after the animals. one thing i do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. my advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”39the passage tells us that .apeople seldom work long hours to make moneybpeople hardly buy more things than

out once a weekccyril was a small town. the houses there were all made of wood; almost everything in the houses such as cupboards, tables and chairs were made of wood, too. and all the houses faced south. the town was never peaceful. fire broke out once a week on summer afternoons. residents were puzzled who the real firebug(纵火犯) was.one day a big fire broke out. it was said that a negro had jumped out of the house on fire, so the police arrested all the negroes in the street. however, fire never stopped to breaking out when the negroes were in prison.mauson, a physics teacher didnt believe that the negroes were the firebugs, for he really knew about those negroes, he made up his mind to find out who the real firebug was.one day he was invited to drink in a pub and happened to notice that many bottles and plastic plates were baked by the hot sunrays. suddenly he realized what the actual fact was. he jumped with joy, saying, “ive got the answer!”mauson dashed out of the pub to his friends house nearby, which also faced south. he made an experiment there to confirm his idea.the next saturday afternoon, mauson asked some policemen and newsmen to come to the house. they were told that the real firebug would be shown there. at that time the sun was shining full into the house and it became hotter and hotter inside the room.someone wanted to draw the curtains together, while another was going to use a bottle to drink water, but neither got permission from mauson, who wanted to let the firebug in.“now,” said mauson, “this house will soon catch fire.” people looked at each other in surprise. mauson asked them to look at the bottles and focus on the table cloth. after a while the cloth gave off a burning smell and began to catch fire!the mystery of fire was discovered, but the police wouldnt believe him and insisted that negroes had been the firebugs. instead they arrested mauson and put him into prison. but mauson said he would never turn against science.44. the town was never peaceful, for fire broke out . a. in the afternoon b. in summer c. at any time d. a and b45. why did the police arrest all the negroes?a. one of them had jumped out of
