For Passages 24, each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. For Passage 1, there are 5 statements following it. You should decide whether the statements are true or false. You are required to mark A for True and B for False on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneEveryone needs money to buy food, clothes, and housing. Very few people can produce everything that they need. Today, most people use money to buy these things. Buying and selling is necessary for modern society. Money is important for life, and banks control money in most places. In the United States, there are many different banks, and they offer many different services.The most common banking service is the checking account. People deposit their money in the bank, and then they can write checks to buy things. A check is a piece of Paper. It tells the bank to pay the seller. The customer usually pays the bank a service charge for a checking account.Another banking service is the saving account. People can deposit some of their money in a savings account. They do not usually need this money right now. They leave the money in the bank and withdraw it when they need it. The bank will pay interest on the savings account. Interest is the money that the bank gives to the customer.Loans are an important banking service. Banks give money to businesses and to individuals. A bank may loan money to a business to buy more machines or tools. Some people borrow money from the bank to build swimming pools or to repair their house. The bank always charges interest on loans. The borrower must repay the loan plus the interest. The interest on loans is always higher than the interest on savings account.1. Buying and selling is not important for most people.2. Some people write checks to buy food and clothes.3. People do not need to pay money into the bank for the checking account service.4. Banks pay interest on savings accounts.5. Banks only loan money to businesses.Passage Two People in the United States like to entertain people at home. They invite friends for a meal, a party or even a cup of tea. Sometime, however, people use expressions that sound like an invitation , but actually are not. For example, “Please come over for a drink sometime.” In fact ,It is only just a polite way of ending a conversation. It is not a real invitation, because it does not contain a specific time or date. It just shows that the person who is speaking is friendly. So when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. When you accept or reject an invitation, it is polite to show pleasure at receiving the invitation. When you cannot accept the invitation, it is better to offer a vague excuse, such as an appointment with a certain friend, some other work to do or a prior engagement.6.

I suppose one reason is that for more than one hundred years many childrens books in England and in America were animal stories. By this we mean stories that gave the animals human names, human voices, human emotions, and even faces that look almost human. Many of these stories taught a moral lesson, like honesty or kindness or hard work. My mother read animal stories to me as a child , and my wife read some of the same animal stories to my boys when they w animals are expensive. And those which are registered with a special dog or cat club are even more expensive familys first pet will come from some friend whose pet has had babies. Or. they may get a pet from an animal shelter. Every city and many smaller towns have a humane society which cares for animals that since there is a written record of their ancestors for many generations. What often happens is that a familys are found and for animals which people no longer want. They try to find the owner of lost pets and to find homes for the others. Over the years my wife and I and our children have gotten some very nice dogs for our family from animal shelters, usually at no cost. But some families do not want a house dog or a house cat. They want an outside dog or a cat. So the animal stays outside the house most of the time. Special dog houses are made for such dogs to use, especially at night in the colder parts of North America.41. Westerners love their pets mainly because_A. They have no human friendsB.
