    (BEIJING, August 10)—The Beijing Daily has put together a number of tips for cost-efficient travel in Beijing.
    ★ Subway transfer
    “Transfer” is a word frequently used by volunteers helping visitors choose the best way of transport during the ongoing Beijing Olympics to save time.
    On the seven subway lines now in operation, the transport authorities have set up a total of 16 transfer stations:
    Transfer between Line 2 and Line 1 at Jianguomen and Fuxingmen stations；
    Transfer between Line 2 and Line 5 at Chongwenmen and Yonghegong stations;
    Transfer between Line 2 and Line 13 at Dongzhimen and Xizhimen stations; Dongzhimen station can also bring you to Beijing Capital International Airport via the Airport Line；
    Transfer between Line 1 and Line Batong at Sihui and Sihuidong stations；
    Transfer from Line 1 to Line 10 at Guomao station to reach Zhongguancun, the north Third Ring Road (going north and west) or Jinsong (going south).
    Via Line 10, transfer to Line 8 at Beitucheng station to reach the Olympic central zone, where the “Bird’s Nest” and other venues are located; transfer to Line 5 at Huixinxijie Nankou; transfer to Line 13 at Zhichunlu and Shaoyaoju stations; Sanyuanqiao station takes you to the airport via the Airport Line.
    ★ From subway to bus
    Beijing’s subway system is thoroughly linked with bus routes.
    The Beijing Railway Station, which can be reached via the Line 2 subway, has bus lines going north, southeast and to the West Railway Station, covering Chaoyang, Tongzhou, Daxing and other districts.
    Xizhimen station is linked to many bus routes that go south and northeast. The long-distance bus routes near Dongzhimen station pass through Shunyi, Pinggu and other outskirts.
    ★ Park and ride
    Park and ride facilities allow commuters to leave their personal vehicles in a parking lot and transfer to a bus or rail system.
    In Beijing, because of city planning and other factors, park and ride is limited to bus and subway stations beyond the Fourth Ring Road. Since the Line 5 subway began operating, a low-fare parking lot, the largest in Beijing, was created at Tiantongyuan Beizhan station. Drivers are encouraged to spend just two yuan per day parking their vehicles and take the subway into the city.

    .
    STEVE Wayne, 16, who worked this summer as a lifeguard and swim teacher in Idaho Falls, was thrilled to see an extra $20 in his paycheck when the federal minimum wage increased in July.
    “When you’re getting paid minimum wage, anything helps, ” Wayne said.Wayne is one of several hundred thousand American teenagers who earn the minimum wage. The last of three recent increases that took the minimum from $5.15 an hour in 2007 to $7.25.U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis says the minimum-wage increase will pump an extra $5.5 billion into the economy over the next year, which is helpful at a time when the economy is hurting.
    "You're giving people who spend money a raise," says Kai Filion of the Economic Policy Institute. "Those people will go out and spend that money, and it will circulate through the economy."
    But other economists say raising the minimum wage actually hurts the very people it's designed to help. A higher hourly minimum, they say, could force businesses to cut workers' hours, or even lay people off.
    "What matters for people earning minimum wage is how much money they take home, in total, in their paycheck," explains Rajeev of Georgia State University's Economic Forecasting Center. "Their hourly rate may go up, but their number of hours may come down, so it's not an overall increase."
    Business owners also say that raising the minimum wage exerts（施加）upward pressure on other wages. "If the minimum wage is $7 and I have to pay $8 or $9 to hire a dishwasher, then the cooks are going to say they want more," sayd Cleveland restaurant owner Rick. "How much can I charge for that hamburger?"
    Another argument is that it makes it more expensive for businesses to hire new workers. For many businesses already struggling to make ends meet in these tough times, it will be simply too expensive to keep or to hire new people.
    55．Steve Wayne was excited that_____________ .
    A．his hard work had paid off
    B．he had received a big wage increase
    C．he has more money due to an increase in minimum wage
    D．the wages of American teenage workers have been increased
    56．According to the text, the US federal government has increased minimum wage with the aim of__________
    A．decreasing unemployment
    B．promoting economic recovery
    C．increasing American teenagers’ wage
    D．narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor
    57．What matters most to people in need of help is_____________.
    A．a higher hourly minimum       B．more working hours
    C．a minimum-wage increase      D．an increase in total income
    58．Some are against the increase in minimum wage because they say_____________.
    A．only very few workers will be helped
    B．they have to cut down working hours
    C．many business owners can’t afford to employ new workers
    D．minimum wage workers will expect more pay rises in the future

    “I find myself glancing at my watch to see how long I’ve been standing in line,” she said. “Everywhere I go, I notice if the dumpster(垃圾罐)gates are open or if there’s trash in the parking lot.” Ms. Clark is a “mystery shopper”, one of thousands of contract workers that companies hire to pretend as regular customers in order to judge customer service, cleanliness and whether a store is selling a product that meets company specifications (规格).
    Mystery shoppers can be found or, rather, not found, everywhere from restaurants and automotive shops to convenience stores and department stores. They play a constant cat-and-mouse game with store and restaurant employees and managers. However it’s not all fun and games. Once in the field, a mystery shopper will typically visit several stores or restaurants per hour, taking mental notes while inside, then jotting down physical notes after they leave.
    It’s important for mystery shoppers to be as exact as possible, because the client companies are looking for data they can use to improve their service. The questionnaire won’t say, “Does the trash can need to be emptied?” What an educated shopper will say is, “The trash can to the left of the front door was overflowing with 10 pieces of trash on the ground.” Companies don’t need opinion but facts.
    Nowadays mystery shoppers are armed with a number of high-tech devices, such as a digital scale and a digital thermometer, as well as a handheld PC for recording the entire experience. It’s a challenging job but a rewarding one. Mystery shoppers can be full time or part time, but the full-time workers tend to stick to standard mystery shopping while part-timers often choose the less complex reward-based programs. In those , the shoppers stay disguised(装扮的) only until the “shop” is finished, and then reveal (透漏) themselves to the store management and award prizes to employees who provided excellent service.
    To be a mystery shopper, it’s important to be a good observer, but sometimes it’s important to have the right profile(外表), too. Companies often hire shoppers from particular backgrounds to better blend in with clients’ regular customers. If a secret shopper will be sent in, for example, to do a high-end automotive shop, the candidate must have a particular profile that meets a high-end, luxury car-type buyer profile. “It’s a challenge to perform your shop without being discovered,” Ms. Clark said, “because most of the people that we work for are very aware of the mystery shopping program.”
    67. According to the text a “mystery shopper” would not have to        .
    A. sign a contract with the employer     B. travel a lot around the city
    C. provide exact facts to the company D. fill in questionnaires  
    68. We learn from the text that Ms. Clark        .
    A. visits some shops regularly and sometimes does something special
    B. pretends to be a shopper and evaluates the services
    C. is a government official looking into the services
    D. is a manager of a company offering good services
    69. People are willing to become a mystery shopper mainly because they can        .
    A. get the best service and get paid at the same time
    B. play a cat-and-mouse game with shop employees and managers
    C. do the job either full time or part time and get paid well
    D. observe clearly what happens in the shops
    70. What does the underlined word “those” in the 4th paragraph refer to?
    A. The shops where the mystery shoppers go.      
    B. The less complex reward-based programs.
    C. Part-time jobs.             
    D. Excellent services.

    When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school subjects. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.
    For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tried to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he failed, he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and how he fits into it.
    If you look at children, you’ll see a great difference in what we call “bright” children and “not bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life, he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream world: he seems to have a walk between him and life in general.
    61. According to the passage, intelligence is the ability to ________________ .
    A. get high scores in some tests                         B. do well in school subjects
    C. deal with life                                              D. know what to do
    62. In a new situation, an intelligent person _______________ .
    knows more about what might happen to him
    is sure of the result he will get
    is ready to face and fit himself in the situation
    cares more about himself
    63. If an intelligent person failed, he would  ___________ .
    try not to feel ashamed                              B. learn from his experiences
    C.  try to find all he could                            D. make sure what result he would get
    64. The difference between bright children and non-bright children lies in _________ .
    A. their attitude towards life                                    B. the degree of cleverness
    C. the amounts of knowledge about the world     D. their way of thinking

    Gloria is a famous hostess of a TV station. When she was 15, she happened to walk into a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, John Smith, asked if she'd like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes.
    Gloria worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of college. During college she would do many other jobs: she served coffee in the student union, was a hotel cleaner and even made maps for the Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs.
    One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Gloria for books on cancer. The woman seemed anxious. Gloria showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman left the store less worried, and Gloria has always remembered the pride she felt in having helped her customer.
    Years later, as a television hostess, Gloria heard about a child who was born with problems with his fingers and hand. His family could not afford an operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time.
    Gloria persuaded her boss to agree to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, some doctors called, offering to perform the operation for free.
    Gloria visited the boy in the hospital after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired hand and say, "Thank you. " What a sweet sense of satisfaction Gloria felt!
    At Smith's bookstore, Gloria always realized she was working for the customers, not the store. Today it's the same. The TV station pays her, but she feels that she should work for the people who watch the programmes, helping them understand the world better.
    56. When did Gloria get her first job?
    A. A few years before college.            B. Several years after college.
    C When she was studying at college.       D. When she was working in the TV station.
    57. In which part-time job did Gloria feel the happiest?
    A. Cleaning in the hotel.                 B. Selling books in the bookstore.
    C. Serving coffee in the student union.       D. Making maps for the Forest Service.
    58. How did Gloria help the child get the operation he needed?
    A. Her boss agreed to raise money.          B. She paid for the operation herself.
    C She allowed the boy to show on TV.       D. Her news report affected some doctors.
    59. What particularly gives her the feeling of pride?
    A. Helping people through her work.        B. Reporting interesting stories.
    C Being able to do different jobs well.       D. Paying for her college education herself.

    It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us. My husband was the first to shift his consciousness. He dressed accordingly and announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman.
    At first he stood alone, piling massive amounts of snow. Soon after a neighbor joined in my husband’s quest to embrace the opportunity the winter presented. Maintaining less than desirable attitudes, we reluctantly put on our snow gear(用具) and headed outside. It wasn’t long before we were smiling and enjoying the abundance of snow that Mother Nature had provided. Others came to our yard one by one to give a hand in the making of our giant snowman.
    In the end we all stood back and marveled at what we had created. He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet around at the base and decorated with many household items supplied by various families. There he stood, our glorious, gigantic (巨人般的) snowman.
    People drove by and smiled. Some even stopped to enjoy his existence. The spirit that went into creating him seemed to catch on and we all enjoyed it while the cold temperatures allowed.
    With the passing of time, the spring made its way back into our yard and the snowman changed form considerably. In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit longer somebody stopped by and changed the snowman’s remains to look like a rabbit.
    As I prepared for the start of another week, I decided to check my email before going to bed. I found a curious message that contained the subject line: enjoy the snowman. I decided to read the message even though I did not recognize who sent it. The words it contained melted my heart.
    The email said: … your neighbor looks on in disbelief! I am sure you people are enjoying the sounds and smells, along with sights of spring. The energy displayed in Mr. Snowman or Ms, is filled with vigor and joyous energy. You and your family keep it up, as this is what the world needs now. Love sweet love. More power to you and your loved ones, keep sharing with the world around.
    Perhaps it was more than snowman we built that day. I’d like to agree that it was. The message seems clear. Our circumstances will turn out to be what we make of them. The possibilities are endless and the choice is ours.
    60. How did the author plan to spend that cold day at first?
    A. By having a busy day.      B. By staying at home. C. By building a snowman.   D. By visiting neighbors.
    61. The reason for her husband to make a snowman was that ________.
    A. he had to please his neighbors                       B. he was better at it than others
    C. he wanted to cheer himself up                       D. he must get the last chance before spring
    62. From the passage we can know that the snowman_______.
    A. was built only by the author’s family            B. was surprisingly big in size
    C. made people more forgiving                   D. made building snowman popular

    What science fiction once told of other worlds far away, is now a fact. Astronomers prove the existence of another solar system like ours with some planets in the constellation Andromeda(仙女座) .
    Geoffrey Marcy is a professor of astronomy and physics at San Francisco State University and says, “What we have found now, for the first time ever, is indeed a fully-grown system of planets around the star Upsilon Andromeda, in which there are three planets, one close in, one at a middle distance, and one farther out.” The star is slightly larger than our sun. The planets are huge, like our Jupiter (木星)
    Marcy’s partner in this research, Debra Fischer, describes the solar system, “Here’s the inner planet that goes around every 46 days, the middle planet that goes around every 242 days, and then the outer planet that goes around every three and a half to four years.”
    Astronomically, it’s not far away, 44 light years. The sun of that solar system, Upsilon Andromeda, is so near and bright that it can be seen by using no equipment during summer and fall.
    For twelve years astronomers searched the skies in the belief that if our sun has planets around it, surely others do, too. Geoffery Marcy says, “And then starting three and a half years ago, we began finding for the first time planets singly, one planet here around one star.”
    “When I look up at the stars now at night, I can imagine easily that every one of them has planets around them,” says Debra Fischer.
    It was the tremble in the star that led Marcy to discover the planets. “The star rocks around due to the gravity of the planet much like a dog owner gets pulled around by a little dog.”
    Can they support life? We don’t know, because present technology is not advanced enough to determine what the planets are made of. That, Marcy says, is astronomy’s next challenge.
    75. Which of the following can best show the relationship between Andromeda (A), Upsilon Andromeda system (U) and the three mentioned planets (P) ?
     
    A                       B                     C                   D
    76. What led to Marcy’s discovery of the planets?
    A. That he found a dog owner was pulled by his dog.
    B. The tremble of Upsilon Andromeda
    C. That any planet has gravity
    D. That he believes any star has its planets
    77. We can infer from the text that scientists are _______________
    A. to find out whether the planets can support life
    B. to find means to communicate with the living beings on the planets
    C. to find means to travel to the planets
    D. soon to be able to find another planet for life to live on
