11．There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm．He was given a  slingshot（弹弓）to play with out in the woods．He practiced in the woods，but he could  never hit the target．Getting a little discouraged，he headed back for dinner．As he was  walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck．
Just out of impulse（冲动），he let the slingshot fly，hit the duck in the head and killed it．He was shocked!In a panic，he hid the dead duck in the wood，only to see his sister  watching!Sally had seen it all，but she said nothing．
After lunch the next day Grandma said，"Sally，let's wash the dishes"．But Sally  said，"Grandma，Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen．"Then she whispered to him，"Remember the duck？"So Johnny did the dishes．Every time Grandma asked Sally to do some housework，she will repeat the same story．After several days of Johnny doing  both his work and Sally's，he finally couldn't stand it any longer．He came to Grandma   and confessed that he had killed the duck．
Grandma gave him a hug and said，"Sweetheart，I know．You see，I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing，but because I love you，I forgave you.1was just  wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you．，
In our daily life，whatever we do，God is always standing at the window and he sees the whole thing．He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you．The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness，he not only forgives you，but also he forgets．

8．We are not who we think we are．
The American self-image is suffused with the golden glow of opportunity．We think of the United States as a land of unlimited possibility，not so much a classless society but as a place where class is mutable-a place where brains，energy and ambition are what counts，not the circumstances of one's birth．
The Economic Mobility Project，an ambitious research initiative led by Pew Charitable Trusts，looked at the economic fortunes of a large group of families over time，comparing the income of parents in the late 1960s with the income of their children in the late 1990s and early 2000s．Here is the finding："The'rags to riches'story is much more common in Hollywood than on Main Street．Only 6percent of children born to parents with family income at the very bottom move to the top．
That is right，just 6 percent of children born to parents who ranked in the bottom fifth of the study sample，in terms of income，were able to bootstrap their way into the top fifth．Meanwhile，an incredible 42percent of children born into that lowest quintile are still stuck at the bottom，having been unable to climb a single rung of the income ladder．
It is noted that even in Britain-a nation we think of as burdened with a hidebound class system-children who are born poor have a better chance of moving up．When the three studies were released，most reporters focused on the finding that African-Americans born to middle-class or upper middle-class families are earning slightly less，in inflation-adjusted dollars，than did their parents．
One of the studies indicates，in fact，that most of the financial gains white families have made in the past three decades can be attributed to the entry of white women into the labor force．This is much less true for African-Americans．
The picture that emerges from all the quintiles，correlations and percentages is of a nation in which，overall，"the current generation of adults is better off than the previous one"，as one of the studies notes．
The median income of the families in the sample group was 55，600inthelate1960s；theirchildren'smedianfamilyincomewasmeasuredat71，900．However，this rising tide has not lifted all boats equally．The rich have seen far greater income gains than have the poor．
Even more troubling is that our notion of America as the land of opportunity gets little support from the data．Americans move fairly easily up and down the middle rungs of the ladder，but there is"stickiness at the ends"-four out of ten children who are born poor will remain poor，and four out often who are born rich will stay rich．

74．What did the Economic Mobility Project find in its research？C
A．Children from low-income families are unable to bootstrap their way to the top．
B．Hollywood actors and actresses are upwardly mobile from rags to riches．
C．The rags to riches story is more fiction than reality．
D．The rags to riches story is only true for a small minority of whites．
75．It can be inferred from the undertone of the writer that America，as a classless society，shouldA．
A．perfect its self-image as a land of opportunity
B．have a higher level of upward mobility than Britain
C．enable African-Americans to have exclusive access to well-paid employment
D．encourage the current generation to work as hard as the previous generation
76．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？B
A．The US is a land where brains，energy and ambition are what counts．
B．Inequality persists between whites and blacks in financial gains．
C．Middle-class families earn slightly less with inflation considered．
D．Children in lowest-income families manage to climb a single rung of the ladder．
77．What might be the best title for this passage？D
A．Social Upward Mobility．
B．Incredible Income Gains．
C．Inequality in Wealth．

12．Governments all over the world make public reports about the condition of their economies．Most countries，including the United States，have used a measure called the gross national product （国民生产总值）or GNP．It includes all goods and services produced by citizens of the country anywhere in the world．
Recently the American Commerce Department has started using a new method to measure production．It is known as the gross domestic product（国内生产总值）or GDP．It counts only goods and services that have been produced within the nation's borders．Money earned by foreign companies operating in the United States is included in the GDP，but money earned by American companies operating in other countries is not．
Economic experts generally approve of the change．They say that the gross domestic product provides a truer measure of the economy．They also note that most other industrial countries use this method．Therefore it will be easier to study the economies of different countries．Some officials also hope the new system will help them make better economic policy decisions．It will provide them with a clearer understanding of economic activity in the U．S..The new measure is less likely to be affected by sudden changes in foreign oil prices or in the value of the American dollar in other countries．
Economic experts believe that the change from GNP to GDP will immediately reduce the value of American production by at least 40，000million dollars a year．But that is really a very small change in the American economy-less than 1%．The Commerce Department reports the unofficial gross domestic product once every three months．The government also continues to report GNP as it has four times a year since 1941．

36．To report the American GNP，the government should not consider goods and services producedD．
A．by American companies at home          
B．by American companies in China
C．by American companies in Singapore      
D．by Japanese companies in the United States

A．by both American and foreign companies in America
B．by American companies within its own borders
C．by foreign companies in the United States
D．by American companies in its foreign markets
38．GDP is considered better than GNP by some economists becauseD．
A．it is something new              
B．it is used by most countries
C．it is easier to calculate            
D．it is less likely to be affected by the foreign market
39．What will happen to the value of American economy if GDP is used to replace GNP？C
A．It will be seriously affected．
B．It will not be affected．
C．It will come down a little．
D．It will slightly go up．
40．How often are the reports of GDP issued by the American Commerce Department？B
A．once every four months                  
B．once every three months
C．once every six months                   
D．once a year．

10．When I lived in Spain，some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car．Before they left，they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation．I suggested that they should stay at"bed and breakfast"houses，because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family．My friends listened to my advice，but they came back with some funny stories．
"We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses，"they said，"because we found that most families were away on holiday．"
I thought this was strange．Finally I understood what had happened．My friends spoke little English，and they thought"VACANCIES"meant"holidays"，because the Spanish word for"holidays"is"vacaciones"．So they did not go to house where the sign outside said"VACABCUES"，which in English means there are free rooms．Then my friends went to house where the sign said"NO VACANCIES"，because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday．But they found that these houses were all full．As a result，they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs．In Spanish，the word"DIVERSION"means fun．In English，it means that workmen are repairing the road，and that you must take a different road．When my friends saw the word'DIVERSION'on a road sign，they thought they were going to have fun．Instead，the road ended in a large hole．
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages．Once in Paris，when someone offered me some more coffee，I said"Thank you"in French．I meant that I would like some more．However，to my surprise，the coffee pot was taken away!Later I found out that"Thank you"in French means"No，thank you．"
61．My Spanish friends wanted advice aboutD．
A．learning English                      B．going to England by car
