prices going up，up，and up.“how high can they go？” is the question on everyones lips.“as long as interest rates stay around 5 percent，nothing might be able to prevent housing prices going up，” said one house seller in santa monica，california.“its crazy，” said tim，who is looking for a house near the beach.“in 1993，i bought my first place，a twobedroom flat in venice，for $70,000.my friends thought then that i was overpaying.five years later，i had to move.i sold it for $230,000，which was a nice profit.last year，while visiting friends here，i saw in the local paper that the exact same flat was for sale for $510,000！”it is a sellers market.homebuyers feel like they have to offer at least 10 percent more than the asking price.donna，a new owner of a onebedroom flat on venice beach，said，“thats what i did.i told the owner that whatever anyone offers you，ill give you $20,000 more under the table，so you dont have to pay your house seller any of it.i was tired of negotiating with the house sellers.”tim says he hopes he doesnt get that desperate.“whether you decide to buy or not，you still feel like you made the wrong decision.if you buy，you feel like you overpaid.if you dont buy，you want to kick yourself for passing up a great opportunity.”everyone says the bubble (气泡) has to burst sometime，but everyone hopes it will burst the day after they sell their house.even government officials have no idea what the future will bring.“all we can say is that，clearly，these things go in regular cycles，” said the state director of housing.“what goes up must come down.but，as we all know，housing prices always stay up a little higher than they go down (被接受)so you cant lose over the long run.twenty years down the road，your house is always worth more than you paid for it.”46if tim had sold his flat last year，he could have earned_.a$510,000 b$440,000 c$280,000 d$160,00047donna paid another $20,000 to the owner secretly because_.ashe felt like offering 10% morebsecret money made low pricecthe owner asked for the moneydshe was bored with bargaining48we can infer from tims words in paragraph 4 that_.ahomebuyers feel hesitate facing rising house pricesbbuying a house is always a great opportunitychomebuyers never make the right decisiondboth sellers and buyers become desperate49which of the following is true about the housing bubble?ait is something everyone hates to see.bonly experts know when it will burst.cit is unavoidable in the regular circles.dit usually stays for about twenty years.bbelieve it or not，the color of the tie barack obama wore to the inauguration (就职典礼) is now a hotly debated topic.the level of public interest in obamas tie might seem strange but many people believe his choice will symbolize the type of government he plans to run，as the color of a politicians tie is thought to convey ideas of power，trustworthiness and more.polities of tiesit may be the least practical item of male dress，but it is arguably the most expressive.in the uk and many other countries around the world，conservative (保守的) politicians may wear a blue tie and their liberal opponents a red one.in america，the colors go the other way round.the republicans have in recent years become associated with the color red，and the democrats with blue.but in spite of this，bush wears blue ties more often than any other color.what they meanaccording to sharon haver，editor of ，in america the feelings associated with colors overrule their political significance.“a guy who wants to be regarded as strong and in charge would wear red，” haver says.unsurprisingly，the business tycoon donald trump is known for wearing red ties.but what about blue？according to haver，“blue is a softer color.look at the sky.its peaceful and calm and trustworthy.”selecting the right tie for the right occasion perfect job interview tieperhaps no other tiewearing occasion is as important as the job interview.gilchrist，the fashion expert，advises playing it safe and choosing a conservative one.best choices are solids，stripes or small patterns.an excellent color is burgundy (深红色) or another serious color.avoid pink or yellow，which suggests that the wearer lacks gravity.pattern ties，gilchrist suggests，should be limited to a maximum of three colors.a striped tie is a safe choice as this is acceptable to everyone.last，gilchrist recommends saving the expensive “hip” tie for those applying for glamorous creative jobs. datenight tiewhen picking out the right tie for taking a girl out on a date，spend more time considering color than pattern.according to studies，women are attracted to men wearing the color blue，because blue gives the image of a “stable，faithful，constant，always there” person.so what is the worst color to wear on a date？“flattened caterpillar (毛虫) yellowgreen，” according to gilchrist，“it will repel both sexes equally.”50why are people interested in the tie that obama wore to the inauguration?abecause they think the tie he wore will enable them to know about his personalities and policies.bbecause they want to advise him how to select an appropriate tie for such a big occasion.cbecause they think the tie will tell if he is trustworthy as they expected when he assumes office.dbecause they believe the tie is an essential part of dressing to a mature politician like obama.51what can we infer about bush，the former president，from the passage?ahe was probably liberal in his policies when he was in power.bhe was a republican when he served as president.che wore only blue ties and had no ties of alternative colors.dhe wanted to make himself unique by the tie that he wore.52the example of “the business tycoon donald trump” is given to_.aprove that color reflects peoples feelings to a certain degreebshow that donald is so wealthy that he can afford expensive tiesctell that donald is physically strong and can handle everythingdexplain that red is a popular color，especially with businessmen53which of the following statements is true according to the text?aties can be ignored by politicians since they are the least practical item of male dress.bdo choose ties carefully before dating，because it is the most important occasion.cwhy to avoid pink or yellow ties in job interviews is that they dont match the atmosphere.dthe more colorful the tie is，the more likely youll get the job you want.ccompared to adults，children seem to be moving constantly.so its no surprise that most parents who are quizzed about their childs physical activity level describe their children as fairly active.but a new study of nearly 2,000 british school children suggests that many parents overestimate the amount of physical activity their children are really getting.the researchers equipped 1,892 british school children，ages 9 and 10，with accelerometers that measure all physical activity during a given time period.the research，known as the speedy study collected the exercise data from children at 92 schools in norfolk，england，between april and july 2007.a child was regarded inactive if he or she recorded less than an hour a day of physical activity.although the majority of children studied were getting enough physical activity，a_sizable_minority_of_children_were_not.overall,39 percent of girls and 18 percent of boys studied were getting less than an hour of physical activity each day.but if you asked the parents of the inactive children to describe their childs activity level，the vast majority80 percentdescribed their children as fairly or very physically active，according to the findings published in the american journal of preventive medicine.interestingly，the children themselves had more awareness about their lack of physical activity.overall,40 percent of children overestimated their physical activity.but it wasnt the parents of overweight children who were most likely to guess wrong about physical activity levels.the parents who were most out of touch about their childs physical fitness were more likely to have children who were slim.parents of girls were also more likely to overestimate physical activity.the researchers noted that parents should be educated about the importance of physical activity for children even if the child is not overweight.“parents of slim children appear to assume that their children are adequately active，” the study authors reported.“increasing awareness regarding health benefits of physical activity beyond weight control might help have a correct idea of physical activity levels and encourage behavior change.”54according to the speedy study，what kind of children can be judged physically inactive?aslim children.bchildren with less than an hour a day of physical activity.coverweight children.dchildren out of touch with their parents for a long time.55what does the writer probably mean by saying “a sizable minority of children were not” in paragraph 3?athe amount of childrens physical activity is far from the writers satisfaction.bonly a small number of children were not getting enough physical activity.ca small number of children didnt overestimate their physical activity.dthe minority of children were not studied at all.56the passage is intended to_.aencourage parents to fairly judge their childrens physical activity levelsbpersuade parents to keep an eye on their childrens weightcurge children to wear accelerometers during exercisedadvise parents to keep in touch with their childrendhave you ever thought about what determines the way we are when we grow up？remember the tv program seven up？it started following the lives of a group of children in 1973.we first meet them as wideeyed sevenyearolds and catch up with them at sevenyear intervals：nervous 14yearolds，serious 21yearolds and then grownups.some of the stories are inspiring，others sad，but what is interesting in almost all the cases is the way in which the childrens early hopes and dreams are shown in their future lives.for example，at seven，tony is a lively child who says he wants to become a sportsman or a taxi driver.when he grows up，he goes on to do both.how about niki？she says，“i would like to find out about the moon.” and she goes on to become a space scientist.as a child，softspoken bruce says he wants to help “poor children” and ends up teaching in india.but if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern，the program would be far less interesting than it actually was.it was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the program so interesting.where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grew up？are children influenced by what their parents do，by what they see on television or by what their teachers say？how great is the effect of a single important event？many film directors，including steven spielberg，say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their lives.dr margaret mcallister，who has done a lot of research in this area，thinks that the major factors are parents，friends and their wider society.57what does the text mainly discuss?anew ways to make a tv program interesting.bthe importance of tv programs to children.cdifferent ways to make childhood dreams come true.dthe influence of childhood experience on future lives.58what does the underlined word “influenced” mean in the last paragraph?aimpressed. bimproved.caffected. dattracted.59what are the examples in paragraph 2 meant to show?amany peoples childhood hopes are related to their future jobs.bthere are many poor children in india who need help.cchildren have different dreams about their future.da lot of people are very sad in their childhood.60spielbergs story is meant to show that_.agoing to a movie at an early age helps a child learn about societyba single childhood event may decide what one does as a grownupcparents and f
