    Many young people in America go to camps when they are out of school during the summer. They are offered a chance to explore different things: nature, sports, music, technology ——even business and economy.
    One such program for high school students in the Pacific Northwest is called Washington Business Week. The program began in 1975. Officials say forty-five thousand people have attended Washington Business Week. Other states now have similar camps.
    Washington Business Week describes itself as a way to learn more about how to plan for the future in an ever-changing economy. Students form an executive(行政的) management (管理) team. They lead an imaginary company to financial success.
    The camp is held at three colleges in Washington State. The high school students live in the college housing. The cost of the camp is almost three hundred dollars, but families can receive financial assistance(援助).
    Some business camps are free. These are for students from poor areas. The National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship（企业家）(NFTE) is an organization based in New York City that supports such camps. It has programs around the United States and its Web site lists international partners in China, Tanzania and a few other countries. NFTE says it has served more than one hundred thousand young people since 1987.
    Among other business camps is Camp C.E.O.. C.E.O is an chief executive officer. And this camp is for girls only. Camp C.E.O. is supported by the Girl Scouts of America and takes place for one week each summer.
    The camp took place last month in Tennessee. The girls worked with successful businesswomen
    from different industries. The girls learned how to build a business and develop an idea into a product. And, we imagine, they also had some fun.
    小题1: In Washington Business Week, students successfully run a company_______.
    A．that they are working inB．that belongs to the American government

    A．The Americans are good at enjoying their lives in many camps.
    B．The young Americans are living a happy life in camps.
    C．The Americans pay attention to developing the students’ abilities.
    D．It is easier to organize business camps in America than other countries.

    Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely act of stealing or an even cheat. Either way, it could be the perfect crime, because the criminals are birds—homing pigeons !
    The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car: if you want the car back, pay up. Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off.
    There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however,  may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind—one that avoids not only collecting money but also going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an advertisement in the newspaper asking for help.
    The thought is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars–seems too little for a car worth many times more.
    Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do,” he said.
    小题1:After the car owner received a phone call, he _______.
    A．went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carried
    B．gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a park
    C．sent some money to the thief by mail
    D．told the press about it
    小题2:The “lazier and more inventive” criminal refers to _______.
    A．the car thief who stays at home
    B．one of those who put the ads in the paper
    C．one of the policemen in Changwa
    D．the owner of the pigeons
    小题3:The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show _______.
    A．how easily people get fooled by criminals
    B．what Chen thinks might be correct
    C．the thief is extremely clever
    D．the money paid is too little
    小题4:The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ____.
    A．criminalsB．pigeonsC．the stolen carsD．demands for money
    小题5: We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners because _______.
    A．he reads the ads in the newspaper
    B．he lives in the same neighborhood
    C．he has seen the car owners in the park
    D．he has trained the pigeons to follow them

    Mouse potatoes joined couch potatoes (who spend much time watching TV on the couch), google officially became a verb and drama queens (extremely emotional persons) finally found the attention when they crossed over from popular culture to mainstream English language.
    The mouse potato, the himbo (attractive, empty-headed man) and drama queen were among 100 new words added to the 2006 update of America’s best-selling dictionary, the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary《韦氏大词典》. The Internet search engine Google also found its way into the dictionary for the first time as a verb, meaning to find information quickly on the worldwide web.
    New words and phrases from the fields of science, technology, pop culture and industry are chosen each year by Merriam-Webster’s team of editors after months of looking through books, magazines and even food labels. “They are not tracking spoken language. They are looking for evidence that words have been used in the written English language,” said Arthur Bicknell, senior editor of Merriam-Webster.
    Other words first coming into the dictionary this year were soul patch (a small growth of beard under a man’s lower lip), unibrow (two eyebrows joining together) and supersize － the fast food industry phrase for extra large meals.
    The technology world contributed ringtones (changeable incoming cellphone call signals) and spyware (software installed in a computer to track a user’s activities) while biodiesel (生物柴油) and avian influenza(禽流感) came from the world of science.
    America’s first dictionary － Noah Webster’s A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language － was published 200 years ago and also introduced some fresh words that have now become familiar. Those “new” words in 1806 included slang, surf, psychology, naturally and Americanize.
    小题1:The mouse potato refers to ____________.
    A．a mouse that lives by potatoes
    B．a person who spends much time on the computer
    C．a mouse that is shown on the screen of the computer
    D．a person who likes to eat mice and potatoes
    小题2:Which group of words and phrases is NOT the fresh words for the dictionary of this   year?  
    A．mouse potatoes, google, supersize， drama queen.
    B．himbo, soul patch, unibrow, supersize.
    C．ringtones, spyware, biodiesel, avian influenza.
    D．couch potatoes, surf, psychology, Americanize.
    小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?
    A．New words and phrases were introduced into the dictionary have close relationship with the time.
    B．New words and phrases chosen by the editors of the dictionary have been used in written English somewhere.
    C．Some words that are now familiar to us used to be fresh words collected in the dictionary.
    D．The Merriam-webster Collegiate Dictionary becomes the best-seller because 100 new words are added to it.

    If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame．Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores．Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion．When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that the has nothing to wear．
    Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste．Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn．Women who can not afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering（改变） the dresses they have．Skirls are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on．
    No one can claim that the fashion industry contribulea anything really important to society．
    Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability．They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right．There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high —heeled shoes．
    When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious．Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonder, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers．Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide．
    小题1:Designers and big stores always make money _____．
    A．by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothing
    B．by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
    C．because they are able to predict new fashions for the coming season
    D．because they attach great importance to quality of women’s clothing
    小题2:To the writer, the fact that woman alter their old fashioned dresses is seen as       .
    A．a waste of moneyB．an expression of taste
    C．a waste of timeD．an expression of creativity
    小题3:According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
    A．The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society
    B．The constant changes in women’s clothing reflect their strength of characters
    C．Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women
    D．New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women
    小题4:By saying “the conclusions to be drawn are obvious”, the writer means that       .
    A．women are better able to put up with discomfort
    B．men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion
    C．men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers
    D．women’s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at
