It’s a goal for millions and millions of families every year——keep the Christmas spending within a certain amount, but can still afford the gifts that your loved ones will enjoy. Never has this concern been greater in recent years than right now. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help.

Hit the sales.

No one wants to get up at four o’clock in the morning and fight to get the best deal on Black Friday, and it’s surely very tough to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal, but sometimes——it can be well worth. Many retailers(零售商) offer specials all through the day——and some even offer online Black Friday specials, so you may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday.

Pay close attention to advertisements.

Once the Christmas shopping season is coming, retailers hungry for business will do just about whatever to get you in the store. Pay very close attention to weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers and you may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.

Shop online.

Some of us don’t like running from store to store in order to get the best price on the perfect gift, and some of us don’t like to go out in the cold at all——thankfully for us, we can do online shopping.

The world of online shopping lets people visit all the major retailers as well as some specialty stores that could only be found on the Internet. Customers can find exactly what they are looking for, at the best possible price without ever having to leave the house. With traditional Christmas shopping consumers are sometimes limited to what’s left in stock if they wait too long to get to a particular store.

A. nowadays not many people can afford expensive gifts

Britain is facing a sharp rise in its rat population as growing numbers of people leave what they cannot finish of the fast food in the street, an environment group warned .Keep Britain Tidy said the rats were stopping their traditional hunts underground and were running across the streets, invited by burgers, pizzas and crisps left behind by man. “The rat population is on the rise and soon it’ll be as common to see a rat on our street as it is to see a dog or a cat,” said group Director, Sue Nelson. The practice of spreading fast food litter and scraps on the street rather than in the dustbin—with young men the worst group—was behind the rise. According to the National Rodent Survey in 2005, Britain’s rat population has grown by nearly one quarter since 2000 and is now estimated at 60 million, two million more than the human population. On average a rat can give birth every 24-28 days and just a single pair of rats can produce a family of 2,000 a year. Around 200 people a year get Weil’s Disease –an infection which can lead to liver or kidney（肝肾）failure and eventually death and which is carried in rats’ waste. To attract people’s attention to the problem, Keep Britain Tidy produced a cinema ad with a title “How close do you want them to get?” The ad gave a shocking image of a young woman sleeping in a bed of rats--reminding people of the terrible scene from James Herbert’s classic horror tale The Rats, in which rats begin to hunt for humans.

Where did the rats use to search for food? k*s5*u

A. In the street B. Under the ground

C. From the dustbins D. In burger shops

What was the rat population in Britain in 2000 according to the writer?

A. Around 60 million B. Around 45 million

B. pizzas and crisps will become unpopular

By writing the passage, the author tries to _____________.

A. close some of the burger and pizza restaurants

B. draw the public attention to the problem of rats

C. prevent the rats from growing up

D. making an advertisement for the classic horror tale The Rats

Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.

“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily, “Tony said.” You don’t have any luggage, right?”

“Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”

“That’s right, one carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”

“Thanks.”

Is Brian a criminal（犯罪）? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.

Every year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible（灵活的）about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!

Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?

A. Because they were the uniform for air couriers.

B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.

C. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.

D. because he did not have any luggage with him.

An air courier is a person who .

A. manages a business company in foreign countries

B. organizes international flights for tourists.

C. travels around the world with cheap tickets.

D. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries.

Businesses choose the air-courier service because

A. it costs less B. it is flexible C. it saves time D. it grows fast

The author of the text mainly ..

A. describes the activities of a law-breaker B. suggests an ideal way to travel

C. argues against the air-courier travel D. tells us about a developing business

　　The World Trade Organization（WTO）, established on January 1, 1995, is an open, non-discriminatory trading system. As a successor to the GATT, established in the wake of the Second World War, it is to help world's trade flow freely, fairly and predictably.

　　While the WTO is still young, the multilateral（多边的）trading system that was originally set up under GATT is already 50 years old. The system celebrated its golden jubilee（50周年纪念）in Geneva on 19 May, 1998, with many heads of states and government leaders attending.

　　The past 50 years have seen an exceptional（罕见的）growth in the world trade. Merchandise exports grew on average by 6％ annually（每年地）. Total trade in the WTO has helped to create a strong and prosperous trading system contributing to unprecedented growth.

　　China was an original member of GATT, but for historical and political reasons it was withdrawn from GATT by the government in Taibei in 1950. But over the last several years, China hopes to be seeking to resume（恢复）its contracting party status. China has become a member of the WTO before the body starts a new round of negotiations（谈判）late this year. Premier Zhu Rongji paid a nineday US visit from April 6, 1999. He is the first Chinese Premier to visit US. President Clinton agreed to have talks on China's entry into the WTO with a new round of negotiations in Beijing.

　　Now China has joined the WTO. China's entry into the WTO is not only of economical but also of political importance. China has made attracting progress since its reform and opening up to the outside world. It is growing more and more powerful in economy. China cannot be without the world just as the world cannot be without China. The entry of China into WTO will further strengthen the comprehensive national power of China; it can also quicken the economic development of the world.

　　　　A. ordinary　　　　B. fair　　　　　 C. special　　　　　D. safety
