【题目】In Western countries people have been using the installment （按揭）plan since the first half of the twentieth century. Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments .In the U.S., the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan.

The price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest. The buyers pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.

Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping, It increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment. There is ,however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse. This may result in a great increase in unemployment. If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money. If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression. This is why, in some countries, the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.

【1】Which of the following is true about the installment plan?

A.British families just use the installment plan to buy furniture.

B.More than 10 precent American families buy things on installment.

C.Americans spend more on installment buying than British people do.

D.The payment of installment buying is easier than buying by cash.

【2】Goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because_________.

A.the buyer has to pay extra money as interest

B.the delivery of the goods charges extra money

C.the buyer has to pay a down payment

D.The service offered by installment plan charged extra money

【3】What will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installments?

A.He might lose his job

B. He will stop owning the item he has bought

C. He will have to sell what he has bought

D. He will go into debt

【4】The advantages of installment buying might include all the followings EXCEPT that _________.

A.purchasing power is strengthened

B.Employment might be increased

C.People develop a good habit of saving money

D.Young couples are able to furnish their homes

【5】In some countries, the government controls the installment plan to_________.

【题目】Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school , I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas．I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas．

I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car．I stopped and wondered what I should do．A car pulled up behind me．It was the couple. They said they would take me．We chatted and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card．I wrote them a thank-you note．Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them．Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful．

Years later, I drove to a meeting in the morning．In late afternoon I found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead．Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership was right next door．I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom．

"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble．They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it．They would accept no payment, so later, I wrote them a note to say thanks．I received a letter back from one of the salesmen．No one had ever written him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said．

"Thank you" - two powerful words．They're easy to say and mean so much．

【题目】Attempt a guess at the following question: In the English-speaking world, which country has the least affordable homes? You are wrong if you guessed the US, even with the housing bubble （气泡） and main sadness. Nor is it the UK, where prices have risen because demand is far from supply. According to a recent survey of 227 cities around the globe, you must go south of the equator （赤道） to Australia to find the priciest homes．

The report measured a city’s housing market along the following guidelines. An “affordable” home required three times or less of the average family’s income to purchase. At four times earnings, a home fell into the “unaffordable” category. And a “seriously unaffordable” home needed five times a family’s income. In Australia, homes in the least affordable city cost just about 9.5 times the average income. Sydney, Perth, and Melbourne were only a little under this figure．

Australian officials offered little comment, apart from a general statement on the dismal findings. These prices make the possibility that many Australians will one day own a home largely unbelievable. Land rationing （配给制） and excessive development charges have raised prices, and the problem will only be solved through urgent action by the Rudd government．

Some American cities were also included on the least affordable list, four of which were in California. America is still involved in a mortgage（抵押）crisis, though, affecting the affordability of homes. Yet a number of US cities garnered “affordable” status, namely Dallas and Kansas. Australia had no cities listed in the top fifty places with affordable homes．

The survey suggests that you can find affordable homes in most places, just not if you’re Australian and choose to live down under．

【1】To buy an affordable house, you should pay _____．

A. 3 times or less of the average family’s income

B. 4 times or less of the average family’s income

C. 5 times or less of the average family’s income

D. 9.5 times or less of the average family’s income

【2】What caused the prices of houses to increase in Australia?

A．The rising family’s income．

B．The demand over supply.

C．The excessive development charges．

D．The decrease of land．

【3】The underlined word “dismal” in Paragraph 3 may mean _____．

A． cheerful B． satisfactory

C． difficult D．sad

【4】What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A． Affordable Houses B． A House is a Dream First

C． Housing Bubble D． Homes Too Expensive

Surrounded by children at morning break, he turned to see one of the children thro-wing a stone at a school window. When the boy saw that he had been 【15】 by a teacher, his face fell. 【16】 for this boy, Russell remembered the story about Neil. Stooping down he picked up a stone and propelled(投掷）it through another window. Turning to smile proudly at the boy, his satisfaction was suddenly shattered by the sound of dozens of windows being 【17】 by flying stones.

Unfortunately he had failed to take into account the difference between his 【18】 and the one which Neil had faced, namely that he and the boy were not alone. It was at this point in his career that Russell decided that perhaps he was not quite cut out to be a teacher. Deciding after this that he was not suited to teaching he left to 【19】 playwriting. Most of his plays are very imaginative and 【20】 . A bit like this story,in fact.
