You can avoid this by following our simple advice：PRODUCT Before you look for the cheapest price you need to decide what product you actually want. You can do this by researching online and the easiest way is to Google for different products so that you can decide on what would be best for you.SEARCH & COMPARE You are now ready to use a comparison website to try and find out the best prices. You should never just use one comparison website, using two or more will give you a balanced view of the market. Comparison websites are necessary.You need to first check out what kind of technology a site uses. Although the idea behind Froogle (now called Google Products) is attractive, the technology it uses is not as advanced as sites such as Kelkoo and Pricerunner. Froogle uses a regular search engine.And dont expect price comparison sites to be a surefire way of getting a bargain. The sites will only show products from companies who pay them. This is not necessarily a bad thingsuppliers value their reputation (名声) and their business relationships.AND SEARCH AGAIN Before you buy you should search the product using a price comparison service, then try again just using a standard search engine it might find the product with a cheaper price.If you use Firefox to surf the web then theres an addon (附加的) tool that you can download which finds the cheapest price for a product for you.It is called the Invisible Hand and it is free to download. For example, if youre shopping online at Amazon, the Invisible Hand will pop up and tell you that it is56 cheaper at Dixons.The tool will only work when you are looking at products, so it shouldnt disturb your day to day Internet surfing. The addon is supported by well-known brands such as BT, Comet and HMV but obviously it wont search every single site out there, so it is still best to use a comparison site in addition to the tool. (374 words)21. According to the passage，how to decide what product to buy?A. By searching online. B. By shopping online. C. By looking for the cheapest price. D. By deciding which is best.22. We can learn from the passage that _ .A. we dont need to use two or more comparison websitesB. different comparison websites use different technologiesC. all the search engines are the same advancedD. comparison websites often give us wrong views and choices23. Whats the BEST title of the passage?A. Online Shoppings Advantage B. How to Use Search EnginesC. Different Websites in the World D. How to Find Perfect Bargains Online BVisitors still stop at the old house in Scituate, Massachusetts. But the house is not what brings them there. What they want to see is the old stone well beside itand the iron-bound water bucket thats put on its edge.Two hundred years ago, this farmhouse was the home of Samuel Woodworth. During the long summers of his childhood, young Samuel would often pause at the well. It was a welcome break, especially on a hot afternoon. On such a day he would eagerly draw a bucketful of cold water and satisfy his thirst with a refreshing drink.When he was fourteen, Woodworth left Scituate for New York City, where he started his own newspaper. Later he worked as an editor at other newspapers and magazines while writing novels, plays, and poetry in his spare time. His life was busy, and he rarely had time to visit the family farm.But Woodworth never stopped thinking of his Scituate home. After work one evening, Woodworth poured himself a glass of city water. After that, he remarked to his wife, Lydia, how wonderful it would be to have a long, cool drink from the oaken bucket at his fathers well. Lydia had a suggestion: Why not put it to poetry?It was a suggestion Woodworth could not resist. That night he wrote The Bucket. In it he captured the world of his childhood on a hot summer day and the simple joy of stopping for a drink at his fathers well.His poem was an instant success. It seemed to touch everyone who had ever been homesick. At the height of its popularity, The Old Oaken Bucket (as it came to be called) was translated into four languages, and the words were set to a popular tune of the time. Over the years, countless people have read or sung Woodworths ode to his boyhood. Today it is the official song of Scituate, Massachusetts. (322 words)24. Why does the author use flashback (倒叙) in Paragraph 2?A. To help readers appreciate the well water. B. To help readers learn about Woodworths childhood life.C. To help readers understand how hard Woodworth was. D. To help readers enjoy city life.25. What was Woodworths purpose for writing the poem?A. To express his emotion. B. To introduce his hometown.C. To share his opinion. D. To make some complaints.26. What can we infer from the text?A. The water in the well tasted better than that in the city.B. Woodworths wife reminded him of the well and suggested putting it to poetry.C. The well and the water had a deep impression on Samuels mind.D. Not many people paid much attention to the poem at first.27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Good Suggestions from Wife B. Growing up on the FarmC. Living in New York D. The Old Oaken BucketCIn todays households where both parents go to work and kids have busy schedules with school, homework and many afternoon activities, finding time for a gathering at the table seems all but impossible. Yet, studies have shown time and again that eating together has multiple benefits for family members, especially children.According to reports issued by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University (CASA), children who eat more with their family are at lower risk of developing poor eating habits, weight problems or alcohol dependencies. They tend to perform better academically than those who frequently eat alone. Family meals came into American life in the mid-20th century. In the 60s and 70s, social, economic and technological changes quickly dissolved the short-lived way of family meals. Restaurant visits, take-out and TV dinners have since become the norm (常态).There are indications, however, that the old customs are coming back. According to the latest CASA rep orts, 59% of surveyed families said they ate dinner together at least five times a week, a significant increase from 47% in 1998. Whatever drives this trend, it is a development that should be welcomed.Eating together as a family is not just about food and nutrition. It is about teaching them how to become members of their society and culture. Food has become so easily and cheaply available that we no longer appreciate its significance. We have to rediscover its importance and its value. Sharing a meal with loved ones should be considered a special event, which can almost take on the form of a ceremony, as it was practiced by our ancestors for whom finding food was a constant struggle. Of course, there is no guarantee that the simple act of eating at home surrounded by family may make children more virtuous or socially more responsible. But it can lay the groundwork for a lot of things that point them in the right direction. (327 words)28. What does the underlined sentence suggest? A. Dining at home would enjoy great popularity. B. This practice of family meals started to change. C. The society was to develop at a rapid speed. D. Americans would attach importance to take-out.29. What is the writers attitude towards eating together as a family? A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Reserved. D. Objective. 30. From the passage we learn ourancestors possibly _. A. appreciated the importance of food B. liked struggling with each other C. cared much about food nutrition D. valued the education ofchildren31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Good Eating Habits Matter B. Old Customs Are Coming Back C. Meals Takeon New Meanings D. Family Dinners Benefit KidsDIncreasingly, over the past few decades, people especially young people, have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, especially processed food, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods. Foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amountbut not the quality of foods grown in commercial farming area.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures(牧场). Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food, they also lay eggs which lack important vitamins. There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if it is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is to provide us with energy, in the form, of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined (未提炼的) flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modem experts on “healthy eating”. (432words)32.
