Idaho Falls was thrilled to see an extra 20 in his paycheck when the federal minimum wage increased in July When you re getting paid minimum wage anything helps Wayne said Wayne is one of several hundred thousand American teenagers who earn the minimum wage The last of three recent increases took the minimum from 5 15 an hour in 2007 to 7 25 US Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis says the minimum wage increase will pump an extra 5 5 billion into the economy over the next year which is helpful at a time when the economy is hurting You re giving people who spend money a raise said Kai Filion of the Economic Policy Institute Those people will go out and spend that money and it will circulate through the economy But other economists say raising the wage actually hurts the very people it s designed to help A higher hourly minimum they say could force businesses to cut workers hours or even lay people off What matters for people earning minimum wage is how much money they take home in total explained Rajeev of Georgia State University s Economic Forecasting Center Their hourly rate may go up but their number of hours may come down so it s not an overall increase Business owners also say that raising the minimum wage exerts 施加 upward pressure on other wages If the minimum wage is 7 and I have to pay 8 or 9 to hire a dishwasher then the cooks are going to say they want more said Cleveland restaurant owner Rick How much can I charge for that hamburger Another argument is that it makes it more expensive for businesses to hire new workers For many businesses already struggling to make ends meet in these tough times it will be simply too expensive to keep them or to hire new people 51 Steve Wayne was excited that A his hard work had paid off B he had received a big wage increase C he has more money due to an increase in minimum wage D the wages of American teenage workers have been increased 52 According to the text the US federal government has increased minimum wage with the aim of A decreasing unemploymentB promoting economic recovery 用心 爱心 专心 C increasing American teenagers wageD narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor 53 What matters most to people in need of help is A a higher hourly minimum B more working hours C a minimum wage increase D an increase in total income 54 Some are against the increase in minimum wage because they say A only very few workers will be helped B they have to cut down working hours C many business owners can t afford to employ new workers D minimum wage workers will expect more pay rises in the future B Warning reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may damage her emotional health in later life A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales It says girls who identified with Cinderella Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to stay in destructive relationships as adults The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith a psychotherapist at the University of Derby She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with severe abuse because they believed they could change their partners with patience composition and love The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children Hardly any of the women in a control group who had not experienced abuse thought they could change their partners in this way These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero Although most girls heard the stories damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the characters as role models They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents behaviors she said Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can change their partners For example they might never have understood the obvious flaw in the story of Rapunzel who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse who broke the door down The question said Ms Darker Smith is why she did not break the door down herself 55 The passage is especially intended for A parents with young daughtersB girls who like reading fairy stories C girls who think they can change their partnersD parents with grown up daughters 56 Cinderella Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that A they all married some princesB they all changed their partners with love C they were all abused by their partnersD they all put up with abuse 57 Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group A They don t believe in fairy tales 用心 爱心 专心 B They don t believe in the transformational qualities of love C They have also experienced abuse D They survived abuse 58 What does the underlined word submissive in the 3rd paragraph probably mean A kind hearted B passive C gentle D easy going C The days of the hunter are almost over in India This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill and partly because some steps have been taken mainly by banning tiger shooting to protect those animals which still survive Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter I disagree with this view Surely our earliest forefathers who at first possessed no weapons spent their time digging for roots and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat eating animals I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals Of course there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauty of the wild countryside There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat I can respect reasons like these but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself The greatest big game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives One of them wrote You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it clearly and on the animal s own territory You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten half alive by other animals Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing not if you respect the thing you kill not if you kill to enrich your memories not if you kill to feed your people I can understand such beliefs and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears and bravely caught them by the tail But this is very different from many tiger shoots I have seen in which modern weapons were used The so called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits 59 There is no more hunting in India now partly because A it is dangerous to hunt thereB hunting is already out of date C hunters want to protect animals D there are few animals left to hunt 60 The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly A to make the countryside safe B to earn people s admiration C to gain power and influence D to improve their health 61 What do we learn about the big game hunters A They hunt old animals B They mistreat animals C They hunt for food D They hunt for money 62 What is the author s view on the tiger shoots he has seen A Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face to face B Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons C Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers 用心 爱心 专心 D Modern hunters should put their safety first D The global financial crisis is likely to cause increasing mental health problems and even suicides as people struggle to deal with poverty and unemployment the World Health Organization warned Thursday Hundreds

chief result of the worldwide financial crisis is that A more people will be poorerB more people will be out of jobs C more people will suffer from mental problemsD more people will commit suicide 64 The United Nations agency worried that A more rich people would commit suicide B the financial crisis might especially influence developing or underdeveloped countries C the current market meltdown

ages 66 The best title for the passage is A Consequences of Global Financial Crisis B Mental Disorders Resulting From Global Financial Crisis C Suicides as a Result of Market Meltdown D Chronic Mental Disorders 用心 爱心 专心 E When families gather for Christmas dinner some will stick to formal traditions dating back to grandma s generation Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver and the
