candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. think of as many as you can. the next stage is to relate the 22 to the job you have to do. so imagine you want to buy a friend an original 23 ;

was cheerless and silent. one of the passengers was a small grey man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. no one ever paid very much attention to him. one july morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. the driver nodded guardedly. the rest of us were silent. the next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and said in a loud voice, “a very good morning to you all!” some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “ good morning” in reply. the following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old suit and tie. the thin hair had been carefully combed. he said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other. one morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. the driver turned around smilingly and asked, “have you got yourself a girlfriend, charlie?” we never got to know if his name really was “charlie”, but he nodded shyly and said yes. the other passengers whistled and clapped at him. charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat. every morning after that charlie always brought flowers. some passengers also brought flowers for him. the bus became a happy place. then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, charlie wasnt waiting at his usual stop. when he wasnt there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or hopefully-on holiday somewhere. when we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers even asked the driver to wait. we all held our breaths when he went to the door. the old gentleman was fine, but one of his close friends had died over the weekend. how silent we were the rest of the way to work.the next monday charlie was waiting at the stop, and without a tie. inside the bus was silent. 41. the story is mainly

deeds b. persuade us to become friendly and considerate to people around c. tell us to keep silent when somebody passes away d. criticize those who remain silent when they are greeted bin western countries people have been using the installment (分期付款) plan since the first half of the twentieth century. today, a large number of families in great britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments. in the u.s., the figure is much higher than in great britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan. the price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. there is a charge for interest. the buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him. he then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. the legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. it can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping. it increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment. there is, however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse. this may result in a great increase in unemployment. if the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. if great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money. if businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression. this is why, in some countries, the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.46. which of the following is not true about the installment plan?a. a lot of british families use the installment plan.b. more than 10 percent american families buy things on installments.c. americans depend more on installment than british people do.d. americans spend more than one tenth of their income on installment buying.47. goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because _.a. the buyer has to pay extra money as interest b. the delivery of the goods charges extra moneyc. the buyer has to pay a down paymentd. the service offered by installment plan charged extra money48. what will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installments?a. he might lose his job. b. he will stop owning the item he has bought.c. he will have to sell what he has bought. d. he will go into debt.49. the advantage of installment buying might include all the following except that _.a. purchasing power is strengthened b. employment might be increasedc. people develop a good habit of saving moneyd. young couples are able to furnish their homes50. in some countries, the governments control the installment plan to _.a. increase employment b. avoid depressionsc. ensure that businesses make good profits d. ensure that people can pay for what they buyci am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. i have managed to convince myself that if it werent for my job i would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the county. but how realistic is the dream? cities can be frightening places. the majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. the sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. all you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. children become aggressive and nervous - cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. strangely enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks dont even say hello to each other. country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. people have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. but country life has disadvantages too. while it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. theres little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town. the city-dweller who moves to the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet. what, then, is the answer? the country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off: the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. but one of its main advantages is that you are at the centre of things, and that life doesnt come to an end at half-past nine at night. some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise (折衷的办法) between the two: they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. however, they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.what then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by? im keen on the idea, but you see theres my cat, toby. im not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass. i mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? no, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.51. we get the impression from the first paragraph that the author_.a. used to live in the country b. used to work in the cityc. works in the city d. lives in the country52. in the authors opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy except_.a. a strong sense of fear b. lack of communicationc. housing conditions d. a sense of

think the author will move to the country?a. yes, he will do so. b. no, he will not do so. c. it is difficult to tell. d. he is in two minds.55. which of the following is the best title for the
