     Supermarkets are trying out new computers that make shopping carts more intelligent (具备智能的).
They will help shoppers find paper cups or toilet soap, and keep a record of the bill.
     The touch-screen devices (触摸屏装置) are on show at the Food Marketing Institute's exhibition here
this week, "These devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker," said Michael
Alexander, manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc., which makes a smart cart computer called the
Concierge.
     Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July. A similar device, IBM's"Shopping Buddy", has recently
been test-marketed at Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts.
     Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart, but they will flash you with
items on sale. The idea is to make it easier for people to buy, not to have second thoughts that maybe you
should put something back on the shelf.
     "The whole model is driven by advertisers' need to get in front of shoppers," said Alexander."They're
not watching 30-second TV ads anymore."
     People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists. Once at the store, a shopper can use a
preferred customer card to start a system (系统) that will organize the trip around the store. If you're
looking for toothpicks, you type in the word or pick it from a list, and a map will appear on the screen
showing where you are and where you can find them.
     The device also keeps a record of what you buy. When you're finished, the device figures out your bill.
Then you go to the checker or place your card into a self-checkout stand and pay.
     The new computerized shopping assistants don't come cheap. The Buddy devices will cost the average
store about $160,000, and the Concierge will cost stores about $500 for each device.
1. The underlined word "they" (paragraph 1) refers to _____.
A. supermarkets
B. shop assistants
C. shopping carts
D. shop managers
2. Which of the following is the correct order of shopping with computerized shopping carts?
a. Start the system.
b. Make a shopping list.
c. Find the things you want.
d. Go to a self-checkout stand.
A. abdc
B. bacd
C. acbd
D. bcad
3. We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.
A. intelligent shopping carts cost a large sum of money
B. the Concierge is cheaper than the Buddy devices
C. shop assistants with computer knowledge are well paid
D. average stores prefer the Concierge to the Buddy devices
4. What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. New age for supermarkets
B. Concierge and Shopping Buddy
C. New computers make shopping carts smarter
D. Touch-screen devices make shopping enjoyable

　　It was a day to celebrate if your family had put most of its money in a bank．You will get more money back because of a recent rise in interest rates(利率)．

　　On October 29, for the first time in nine years, the People’s Bank of China(PBOC)raised interest rates．The rate for one-year renminbi deposits(存款)was increased from 1.98 per cent to 2.25 per cent．And the rate for one-year renminbi loans(代款)went up from 5.31 per cent to 5.58 per cent．Longer term rates saw higher increases．

　　So what are interest rates?Banks offer some money to encourage people to keep their savings in a savings account(储蓄帐户)，and ask more money in return if you borrow money from them．The percentages of the extra money are the interest rates．

If your parents have borrowed money from banks to pay for houses or cars, the interest rates rise was not good news．

　　An increase in the interest rates on a loan means the borrower will need to repay more to the bank．For example, a person who borrowed, 10,000 yuan from the bank had to return 10,531 yuan before the interest rise．But after the interest rates are increased, he has to pay extra 27 yuan per year．

　　The rise came following a great demand for the cooling of the over-heating Chinese economy．For several years, pushed by a huge investment and construction projects, the country has had the fastest economic growth in the world．But this can be damaging just as it is when a person grows too fast and can no longer fit their clothes．It is hoped that with a higher interest rate people will act more cautiously and take less risks when borrowing money．

　　“The rate rise will help the economy to cool down．It will reduce investment in unnecessary industrial and construction projects．”said Su Ning, deputy governor(副行长)of the PBOC．

(1)

If we deposit 1000 RMB in the bank for one year, how much can we get after October 29?

(The tax rate on interest rates is 20％．)

[　　]

A．

21.6．

B．

13.68．

C．

15.84．

D．

18．

(2)

What is the purpose of the rise in the interest rates?

[　　]

A．

To attract greater investment．

B．

To make people earn more money．

C．

To carry out construction projects．

D．

To cool down the over-heating Chinese economy．

(3)

By saying “this can be damaging just as it is when a person grows too fast and can no longer fit their clothes” the writer ________．

[　　]

A．

warns that if the economy grows too rapidly, it will cause trouble

B．

warns us that industry will suffer a loss

C．

advises us to buy bigger clothes when we are young

D．

advises us not to grow too fast

(4)

Which of the following is NOT a result of the increase in the interest rates on a loan?

[　　]

A．

People will make wiser investments．

B．

People will need to repay more to the bank．

C．

People will borrow more money to invest in their business．

D．

People will be careful of taking money from banks to expand their business．
