As people slowly learn to cure diseases, control floods, prevent hunger, and stop wars, fewer people die every year. As a result, the population of the world is becoming larger. In 1925 there were about 2 billion people in the world; today there are over 6 billion.
When the number rises, extra mouths must be fed. New lands must be brought under development, or land already farmed must be made to produce more crops. In some areas the land is so over-developed that it will be difficult to make it provide more crops. In some areas the population is so large that the land is divided into too tiny units to make improvement possible with farming methods. If a large part of this farming population went into industrial work, the land might be farmed much more productively (多产地) with modern methods.
There is now a race for science, technology, and industry to keep the output of food rising faster than the number of people to be fed. New types of crops, which will grow well in bad weather, are being developed, so there are now farms beyond the Arctic Circle in Siberia and North America. Irrigation (灌溉) and dry-farming methods bring poor lands under the plough. Dams hold back the waters of great rivers, which can provide water for the fields in all seasons and provide electric power for new industries. Industrial chemistry provides fertilizer to suit different soils. Every year, some new methods are made to increase or to protect the food of the world.
1.The author says that the world population is increasing because _____.
A．there are many rich valleys and large fields
B．farmers are producing more crops than before
C．people are living longer due to better living conditions
D．new lands are being made into farmlands
2.The author says that in areas with large populations, land might be more productively farmed if _____.
A．the land was divided into smaller pieces
B．people moved into the countryside
C．industrial methods were used in farming
D．the units of land were much larger
3.We are told that there are now farms beyond the Arctic Circle. This has been made possible by _____.
A．growing new types of crops B．irrigation and dry-farming means
C．providing fertilizers D．destroying pests and diseases
4. Why do some people use dams to hold back waters from great rivers?
A．To develop a new kind of dry-farming methods.
B．To prevent crops from floods.
C．To provide water and electricity in all seasons.
D．To water poor lands in bad weather.

Like many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.
When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, was eager to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding job.
They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry. “We knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldn’t match the big chains dollar for dollar,” says Mary. One figure caught her attention: She’d read somewhere that roughly 20 percent of books sold were mysteries （推理小说）, and many buyers spent more $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.
On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the $100,000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from an bank.
The store merely broke even in its first year, with only $120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.
Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420,000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Mary together earn about $34,000.
“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income,” says Richard. “This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money.”
72．When Mary was in hospital, the couple realized that ____.
A. they had to put their plan into practice
B. health was more important than wealth
C. heart trouble was a serious illness
D. they both needed to stop working
73．After Mary got well from her illness they began _____.
A. to study industrial management
B. to buy and read more mystery books
C. to do market research on book business
D. to work harder to save money for the bookstore
74．How did their bookstore do in the first year?
A. They had to borrow money to keep it going.
B. They made just enough to cover all the costs.
C. They succeeded in earning a lot of money.
D. They failed though they worked hard.
75．According to Richard, the main purpose of running the bookstore is _____.
A. to pay for their children’s education
B. to get to know more writers
C. to set up more bookstores
D. to do what they like to do

Besides this question of the time given to pronunciation，there are two other requirements for the teacher：the first，knowledge；the second，technique．
It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information．This can generally be go form books．It is possible to get from books some idea of the speech；and of what we call general phonetic rules．It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages，between the speech habits of English people and those，of your students．Unless the teacher has such a picture，any explanations he makes on his students'pronunciation are unlikely to be of much use，and lesson time spent on Pronunciation may well be wasted．
But it does not follow that you can teach pronunciation successfully as soon as you have read the necessary books．It depends，after that，what use you make of your knowledge；and this is a matter of technique．
Now the first and most important part of a language teacher's technique is his own performance，his ability to show off the spoken language，in every detail of sound as well as in fluent speaking，so that the student's ability for imitation is given the fullest space and encouragement．The teacher，then，should be as perfect a model in this field as he can make himself．And to make his own performance better，however satisfactory this may be，the modern teacher has in his hand recordings and a radio，to supply the real voices of native speakers，or，if the teacher happens to be a native speaker himself，or speaks just like one，then to change the method of presenting the language material．
However，the process of showing pronunciation，whether by personal ex-ample or with the help of machines，is only the beginning of teaching pronunciation．The technique of teaching each sound also needs to be considered．
1．How might the teacher find himself wasting lesson time？
[ ]
A．By spending lesson time on pronunciation．
B．Bu making ill-informed explanations upon pronunciation．
C．By not using books on phonetics in the classroom．
D．By not giving students a clear mental picture of the difference between
sounds．
2．Students have an ability for imitation which is________．
[ ]
A．plain and obvious
B．well developed
C．not yet developed
D．too weak to be useful
3．What is the main point the author makes about imitation of the teacher？
[ ]
A．It is a matter of secondary importance．
B．Students should be given every chance for it．
C．It depends on the student's ability．
D．Teachers are perfect models for students to imitate．
4．TO Someone teaching his own language to foreigners mechanical aids can________．
[ ]
A．improve his own performance
B．replace his own performance
C．provide examples of native speech
D．make his voice louder
5．Showing pronunciation is to be regarded as ________．
[ ]
A．a part of teaching pronunciation
B．an exercise of value in itself
C．an example of the use of mechanical aids
D．a technique for teaching separate sounds

Is the customer always right? 1 Shopping is very much a part of a country’s culture, and attitudes to shopping and consumers vary from country to country just as much as climate or taste in food.
Recent economic hardship has given the consumers increased power in Europe because shopkeepers fight to win their share of reduced disposable(可支配的)income. This has meant falling prices, plenty of special offers and a re-examination of what customer service really means.
2 In restaurants in the south of the USA, for example, waiters compliment(恭维)you on your clothes, ask about your day, compliment you on your wisdom of your order and then return every ten minutes to refill your glass and make sure that everything is to your satisfaction.
Anyone who has waited 30 minutes to be served in a restaurant may possible dream of such customer service. 3 In fact, different nationalities expect different types of service. As a friend of mine once told me “By the end of evening I had spent as much time talking to the waiter as to my wife.”
A Chinese-American friend loves telling people about how her Chinese mother shops for clothes. First of all she waits until they are on sale. 4 And later she finds some small fault with the product and demands a further reduction. She never buys anything at the regular price. Could you imagine trying such ways in department stores in other countries?0
Attitudes to service are, of course, affected by employer’s attitudes to their workers. As American waiters heavily depend on tips, they have to provide more service. But is this fair? 5 It might not be a case of “Is the customer always right?” but a case of “How much service is it fair to expect?”
A．People often point to America as an example of good customer service.
B．It is a question of expectations.
C．Do we think it is fair to ask shop assistants to work late evenings or on Sundays?
D．Then she asks for a discount until she gets an even better price.
E. The answer, it seems, depends on which country you are in.
F. The way we shop shows the way we get along with other people.
G. However, do Europeans really want US style service?
