    Reader’s Digest is a monthly magazine. Before the 1980s, it belonged to a privately held company, which was started in 1922 by Lila Bell Wallace and Dewitt Wallace. This magazine is small and easy to carry, just half the size of most American magazines, which caused a phrase in 2005, “America in your pocket.” It is the best selling magazine in the USA. At present, its circulation(发行量） in the USA has reached 10 million copies and the number of the readers there is 38 million. Its global circulation outside the USA has reached 40 million people throughout more than 70 countries in 21 languages.
    This magazine’s focus(焦点） is not news but more of cultural views because the editors think people now can get timely news from somewhere else. They hope this magazine can give readers something that is about special personal experiences, something the readers can share with their families. In different countries, this magazine provides a window to the world for the local readers. Some parts of the magazine are about the local customs and interests of the local readers. The other parts give the local readers information from all over the world.
    This magazine actually used to be a family business until the Wallaces died in the 1980s. Because they had no children, there was no one to take over the company. Sixteen years ago, this company went public and became a public company.

    Most American students have said goodbye to fancy(高级的) fruits these days. In school canteens across the country, cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their places.
    “People are afraid to spend now,” said Linda Morrow, who owns a shoe and handbag store. “They don’t know what the future will bring.”
    During the financial crisis(金融危机), several of the country’s biggest banks have been forced to sell or close. This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods.
    Samira Marino, a restaurant owner in Miami, has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and more people are sharing meals. In more than two dozen interviews with The Associated Press across the country last month, Americans talked about their concerns, from worries about small businesses to doubts about simply making ends meet.
    The crisis began last year. Experts think it was because US banks lend money too easily. Last year a lot of people and companies, who borrowed money, have found themselves unable to pay it back. This left the banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money. Since the banks borrowed money between themselves and even across borders(国界), the whole world was in trouble.
    This month the US government agreed on a $700 billion plan to try to save the financial market. But no one is sure whether it will help or not. President George W. Bush has warned it will take some time.
    Last week top finance officials from 20 countries promised to work together to find a way out of the money trouble.
    小题1:Why are people in the US afraid to spend?
    A．Because they think it’s unnecessary.
    B．Because they don’t have the habit of spending money.
    C．Because they worry about their future.
    D．Because they don’t have enough money.
    小题2:The fifth paragraph mainly _________.
    A．tells what it is like in a crisis
    B．explains why there is a crisis
    C．warns people of the danger of the crisis
    D．asks people not to borrow money from banks
    小题3:People feel ______ about the US plan to save the market.
    A．satisfiedB．doubtfulC．hopelessD．angry
    小题4:The best title for the story is ________.
    A．Ways to make ends meet
    B．The money problem facing the world
    C．Healthy fancy fruits
    D．The art of borrowing

    When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to face the music”, it doesn’t mean that he is going to hear a singer. It is something far less happy, as you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and did that or why you did not do this or that.
    At some time or another, every one of us has to “face the music”, especially as children. We can all remember father’s angry words “I want to talk to you.” And only because we did not listen to him. What a bad thing it was!
    In the middle or at the end of every term, we students have to “face the music”. The result of the exam will decide whether we will face the music or not. If you got a “D” in the exam, that means parents’ cold faces and the contempt(轻视) of the classmates.
    “To face the music” is well-known to every American, young or old. It is at least 100 years old. It really means that you have to do something, no matter how terrible the whole thing might be, because you have no choice.
    小题1:“To face the music” means “to         ”.
    A．do something that we don’t like to
    B．go to the theatre
    C．go to the music show
    D．do something we want to
    小题2:After the exam, we’ll have to “face the music”. That’s why          .
    A．we like to take the exam
    B．we are afraid of taking the exam
    C．the exam is very important
    D．we are afraid of passing the exam
    小题3:Which of the following is wrong?
    A．“To face the music” is well-known in the US.
    B．“To face the music” has a history of more than 100 years.
    C．The young Americans know the meaning of “to face the music”.
    D．Only the old in the US know the meaning of “to face the music”
