Never has this concern been greater in recent years than right now. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help. Hit the sales. No one wants to get up at four oclock in the morning and fight to get the best deal on Black Friday, and its surely very tough to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal, but sometimesit can be well worth. Many retailers(零售商) offer specials all through the dayand some even offer online Black Friday specials, so you may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday. Pay close attention to advertisements. Once the Christmas shopping season is coming, retailers hungry for business will do just about whatever to get you in the store. Pay very close attention to weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers and you may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops. Shop online. Some of us dont like running from store to store in order to get the best price on the perfect gift, and some of us dont like to go out in the cold at allthankfully for us, we can do online shopping. The world of online shopping lets people visit all the major retailers as well as some specialty stores that could only be found on the Internet. Customers can find exactly what they are looking for, at the best possible price without ever having to leave the house. With traditional Christmas shopping consumers are sometimes limited to whats left in stock if they wait too long to get to a particular store. 56.The first paragraph implies that _. A. nowadays not many people can afford expensive giftsB. recently many people dont want to spend money on giftsC. Christmas is a time to make our loved ones enjoy their giftsD. Christmas is a time to make us feel free to buy our loved ones gifts57.In the writers opinion, it is rewarding on Black Friday _. A. if the weather is not very coldB. if we dont have to fight for the best dealsC. if we dont have to get up earlyD. If we get what we want at a good price58.The underlined word “specials” means_. A. some experts in shopping B. certain things for especially low priceC. some kind of help for a certain customerD. things that can only be found on Friday59.We can have more choices _. A. on Black FridayB. in a particular storeC. on the InternetD. from retailersB A Train Floating On AirA train that floats on air? Its not magic its magnets (磁). And its close to reality.In Virginia USA the fall of 2002, a train with no wheels traveled on air and carried college students across their campus. In Japan, a whisper-quiet railway engine hovered and raced at 350 miles per hour using magnets and electricity as the power. And in China, a magnet train line linked Shanghai with nearby Pudong Airport.These trains use magnetic levitation (悬浮) technology, “maglev” for short. They use the same rules as the magnets you pick up at home or school: opposite poles of magnets attract each other, and like poles repel each other.How does it work?Powerful magnets on the bottom of the train repel magnets on the track, which is actually just a magnet-filled guiding way. With a magnetic field of sufficient force, the train will go hovering on air, which seemed impossible to us in the past.When an electrical current is sent through the track, the train moves. Turn the current backwards and the train slows down.Maglev doesnt rely on the friction (摩擦力) of wheels on track, so it can climb a much steeper hill than a traditional train. And it can travel easily in snow and ice, something that could bring normal trains to a screaming stop. 60.This passage is about _.A. maglevB. magnetsC. levitationD. electricity61.Which of the following is a repelling action?A. B. C. D. 62.What can we learn from the text?A. A magnet-filled guiding way is formed inside a maglev train.B. Instead of electricity, magnets are used as the power of a maglev.C. Maglev trains can climb hills with the help of magnet wheels.D. Electric currents decide the movements of a maglev train. 63.What is the difference between a maglev train and an ordinary train?A. A maglev train can climb mountains without power while an ordinary one cant.B. A maglev train can travel in college campus while an ordinary train is not allowed.C. Travelling without a track, a maglev train is safer and smoother than an ordinary one.D. Floating on a track, a maglev train is faster, quieter than an ordinary railway train.CJust like the young character in Hannah Montana, who so often fights with her father over her desire to be more independent, British teenagers also have their troubles.A recent survey among 2,000 British parents shows that girls and boys experience similar kinds of stress, with some slight differences .Girls want to grow up fast, demanding greater freedom. They feel pressure from their peers to be thin and sometimes dangerously experiment with alcohol .Girls over 14 are more concerned with getting a boyfriend, make-up and going out with friends than with their schoolwork. They are more likely to complain about pocket money .Parents found they have their toughest time with boys over the age of 15. Their sons are battling bad skin, are reluctant(不情愿的) to speak, and just like girls over 14 are little interested in their studies. Seven out of ten parents said their sons become frustrated(挫败的) when they are not understood .Unsurprisingly, it isnt just British teenagers who have such problems.In a survey published in the US last month, two out of three high school students said their life was tough. There was a universal worry over body image and ability to fit in socially.Plenty of the teenagers feel great pressures to get good grades, with nearly half regarding this as their top worry. The next biggest issue is pressure they face to get into good college. According to the survey, 66 percent reported saving their money to pay for all or part of college.“Todays American teens have witnessed what their families have endured during recent economic challenges, and they are much more aware of the importance of planning ahead,” said Stuart Rubinstein, managing director with TD Ameritrade, which carried out the survey.64.What is the article mainly about?A. What makes the lives of teenagers so hard? B. How to deal with teen problems?C. Stress faced by UK and US teenagers. D. Peer pressure faced by UK and US teenagers.65.According to the survey, boys over 15 often feel great pressure to _.A. grow up fastB. experiment with alcoholC. get into a good collegeD. be more open and communicative66.The underlined word “universal” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _.A. globalB. commonC. averageD. reasonable67.How have recent economic challenges affected American teens?A. They have become more concerned about their future.B. They are now more worried about the ability to fit in socially. C. They are attempting to learn more about money management.D. They are spending more time developing their practical skills.DWhen the great library of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book; and so a poor man, who could read a little, bought it for a few coppers（铜钱）.The book wasnt very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip（条）of vellum（牛皮纸）on which was written the secret of the “Touchstone”! The touchstone was a small pebble（小园石）that could turn any common metal into pure gold. The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles are cold.So the man sold his few belongings, bought some simple supplies, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles. He knew that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold-throw it into the sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days stretched into weeks and the weeks into months. One day, however, about mid-afternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea that when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.So it is with opportunity. Unless we are vigilant（警惕的）, its easy to fail to recognize an opportunity when it is in hand and its just as easy to throw it away.68.The book was special to the man because _. A. it was made of vellum B. it was the only book that survived the great fire C. it was a story about how to tell the touchstone from ordinary stonesD. it included the secret of the touchstone
