listened to it during _38_.I was surprised how at _39_times of the day，the clock would strike three times，six times or more，with a wonderful great sound that echoed(回音)throughout the house.The clock

of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and DChoose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AOne hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one billion bankissued credit cards.They give their owners automatic credit in stores，restaurants，and hotels，at home，across the country，and even abroad，and they make many banking services available as well.More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically，making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations，whether or not the local branch bank is open.For many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizonit is already here.While computers offer convenience to consumers，they have many advantages for sellers，too.Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring_up_sales.They can keep a wide range of records，including who sold what，when，and to whom.This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving.Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made.At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient，allowing personnel (职员) and staffing assignments to be made accordingly.And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns.Computeranalyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now，which to develop for the future，and which to drop.Computers keep track of goods in stock，of raw materials on hand，and even of the production process itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises，from theaters to magazine publishers，from gas and electric utilities to milk processors，bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.56According to the passage，the credit card enables its owner to _.Awithdraw as much money from the bank as he wishesBobtain more convenient services than other people doCenjoy greater trust from the storekeeperDcash a cheque57From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that _.Ain the future all the Americans will use credit cardsBcredit cards are mainly used in the United States todayCnowadays many Americans do not pay in cashDit is now more convenient to use credit cards than before58The phrase “ring up sales” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “_”Amake an order of goodsBrecord sales on a cash registerCcall the sales managerDkeep track of the goods in stock59It can be inferred that _.Acomputers will bring disasterBcomputer industry will not develop fasterCcomputers will bring about more convenience to peoples lifeDcomputers can analyze marketing reports60What is this passage mainly about？AApproaches to the commercial use of computers.BConvenience brought about by computers in business.CSignificance of automation in commercial enterprises.DAdvantages of credit cards in business.BAs more Americans go to mainland China to take jobs，more Chinese and Americans are working side by side.These crosscultural partnerships，while beneficial in many ways，are also highlighting tensions that expose differences in work experience，pay levels and communication.In the last few years，a growing number of Americans in their 20s and 30s have been heading to China for employment，attracted by its fastergrowing economy and lower jobless rate.Their Chinese coworkers are often around the same age.But the two groups were raised differently.The Americans have had more exposure to freemarket principles.“Young Americans were brought up in a commercial environment，” said Neng Zhao，28，a senior associate at Blue Oak Capital，a private firm based in Beijing.“We werent.So the workplace is a unique learning process for my generation.”Managers hiring workers in China appear to be paying for Western experience.Foreigners tend to earn 10 to 15 percent more than their Chinese counterparts，said Michael Norman，senior vice president at Sibson Consulting，an American firm.That imbalance does not go unnoticed by Chinese workers.“There is definitely the belief that Americans get paid more for the same work，” said Ting Wang，25，an associate at Wild China，a travel company based in Beijing.On the other hand，Chinese workers have a deeper understanding of the influences，like Confucianism and Communism，which play a part in their countrys culture and economy.It is important and necessary for Americans working in China to adjust，said Mr.Norman，who works on management and work force issues for multinational companies operating in Asia.“In the West，there is such a bonus on getting things done quickly，but when you come to work in China，you need to work on listening and being more patient and understanding of local ways of doing business，” he said.61More Americans go to China to take jobs because_.Athey want to experience different culturesBChinese workers are easier to cooperateCthey cant find proper jobs in AmericaDthe economy of China is developing rapidly62What is mainly talked about in the passage？ACrosscultural conflicts.BCrosscultural partnershipsCMultinational companies in China.DDifferent pays for the same work.63What can we learn from the passage？AAmericans benefit more from working in China.BChinese and American employees have the same experience.CYoung Chinese can benefit from crosscultural partnerships.DMore Americans working in China cause higher jobless rate.64What does the underlined word “imbalance” in Paragraph 3 refer to？AUnfair pay levels.BDifferent working experience.CUnequal opportunities.DDifferent upbringing environment.65We can infer from the last paragraph that_.AAmericans working in China adjust very wellBways of doing business in different countries differCdoing business in China takes money and patienceDinternational companies need to understand each otherCMedical students in California are getting realworld experience by helping the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles.They are filling gaps in the health care system while learning about their future profession.The patients sit on folding chairs along the sidewalk in Hollywood，as students unload supplies and medical records from a truck.They are creating a makeshift clinic on the street.The first stage is triage，assessing the needs of the poor and homeless at this onceaweek mobile clinic.It is run by students from the University of California，Los Angeles，who operate similar clinics in different communities on other nights.They provide medicine and offer clean socks and reading glasses to those who need them.They bandage injuries and monitor vital signs.Another charity offers nutritious meals to the patients.Students in social work and law also come to offer assistance，getting longterm help from the government or private agencies for those people who qualify.Physician Walter Coppenrath helped start this street clinic 12 years ago when he was a medical student.He now teaches at UCLA and sees patients at a nearby medical center.The care is given to those who do not get help in other places，says medical student Steffanie Becerra.“They see us as their only point of care within the medical system where they can get medications.A lot of people with hypertension or diabetes really have no other choice but to co
