Her business is teaching people how to improve their telephone communications.Nancy Freedman of St. Louis says her business got started by accident about twelve years ago. She called her insurance company on the telephone. She was not happy about the treatment she received from the person with whom she talked. So she threatened to cancel her business with that company. She told company officials their workers were so unfriendly that she did not want to deal with them any more. One company official asked her to talk to the workers about how to change, so she did.Today Nancy Freedman has this successful business called “the telephone doctor”.

Some cities have planned their transportation systems for car owners. That is what Los Angeles did. Los Angeles decided to build highways for cars rather than spending money on public transportation. This decision was suitable for Los Angeles. The city grew outward instead of upward. Los Angeles never built many tall apartment buildings. Instead, people live in houses with gardens.In Los Angeles, most people drive cars to work. And every car has to have a parking space. So many buildings where people work also have parking lots.Los Angeles also became a city without a Central Business District (CBD). If a city has a CBD, crowds of people rush into it every day to work. If people drive to work, they need lots of road space.So Los Angeles developed several business districts and built homes and other buildings in between the districts. This required more roads and parking spaces. Some people defend this growth pattern. They say Los Angeles is the city of the future. 21. According to the passage, Los Angeles is a city where _. A. there is no public transportation system B. more money is spent on highways for cars C. more money is spent on public transportation systems D. public transportation is more developed than in other cities22. “The city grew outward instead of upward” (Line 1, Para. 2) means _.A. the city became more spread out instead of growing tallerB. there were fewer small houses than tall buildings C. rapid development took place in the city center D. many tall buildings could be found in the city.23.

This drug made it more difficult for them to think rationally - it stopped them worrying about the future, and enabled them to forget all their problems. At the same time, it made it much easier for them to relax and enjoy themselves: so much so, indeed, that the whole population of the island stopped working and spent their time singing and dancing and looking at the sea. Unfortunately this had a very bad effect on the countrys economy, and people began to run short of food. This, however, didnt discourage the people from taking the drug. The Prime Minister made speeches on the TV warning them about the drug, but nobody took any notice, and before long the economy has in ruins. This forced the Government to make the drug illegal. But that only made the situation worse. The law couldnt prevent the people from taking the drug, which grew wild all over the island; on the contrary, the fact that the drug was illegal merely encouraged people to take it. Eventually, the Government found a better solution: they exported the drug to other countries. This saved the islanders from having to work more than one day a week, and allowed them to spend the rest of their time sitting in the sun without a care in the world.26.
