     No fight can end,  and no friendship can move on,  until everyone says these little words:I'm sorry.
Sometimes,  though,  they can be difficult to say.1.________
     It is not about winning.
     Friendships aren't like the Super Bowl,  and there should never be a winner and a loser.When you start fighting with a friend,  it may feel important that you "win" the fight by proving you're right and he is
wrong,  or by making him be the first to apologize.

disagreement,  and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.
     Take the first step.
     Are you sick of fighting?Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship?
4.________You don't have to take full responsibility for starting the fight,  or even say that your feelings
were wrong.But you should find something you did or said that's worth apologizing for.Maybe you're sorry that you let the fight go for so long,  or that you overreacted to something your friend did.If you say you're sorry,  it's like an invitation for your friend to do the same.
     5. ________

D. Don't let this happen to a friendship you care about.

                                                                Life in 2060
     Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let's make believe (假装;虚构) it is about sixty years
from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
     Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as
it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the
beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is
provided for entertainment (娱乐) of young and old.
     What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may be some day. But many
foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green
plants.
     Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago,
most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer
destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.
     Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible
to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
     People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the
number of animal decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in
our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to
get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.
     Such would be our life in 2060.

1. When was the passage written?

A. In about A.D. 2060.    
B. In about 1960.
C. In about 2000.    
D. In about 2004.

A. Many tourists.

A. Biscuits in pill form.

     Michael a typical American, stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal
computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After work he puts on his
headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder or plays baseball on the
computer. On many days, michael doesn't talk to any other human beings, and he
doesn't see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his
lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting
US off from contact with our fellow human being
     The world of business is one area which technology is isolating. US experts say,
for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access(接通)
to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents and
accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would
never have to actually see the people they're dealing with. In addition, the way
employees are paid will change. Workers' salaries will be automatically paid into
their bankaccounts (账户 ) , makingpaper checks unnecessary. No workers will
stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change,
too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts.
     Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music,for instance,was
once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social
gatherings. For many people now however, music is an individual experience. Walking
along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall
of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social
events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to
wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home.
Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.

1. The sentence," Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible" means " "______
A. Michael is a person full of imagination and he can make his dreams come true
B. Michael is not a real person, but the lifestyle doesexist
C. Michael has ambitions but he can't make his dreams come true
D. Michael is a person full of imagination and his style is common nowadays
2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?______
A. Clerks will be able to work at home.
B. One can play baseball on the computer.
C. One can listen to music without disturbing others.
D. One can borrow books from libraries at home.
3. What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?______
A. Games and sports.
B. Personal banking.
C. Music and films.
D. International business.

Dear Economist,
     My newlywedded wife and I are deeply in love. There is, however, one issue that threatens the
happiness of our marriage. I absolutely insist on shopping at Walmart. My  wife, meanwhile, would 
 rather  avoid Walmart at all costs. I have recently tried to convince her that not only does Walmart
offer the lowest prices known to man, but that the chain is also a force for good-lower prices mean
better standards of living for all consumers, increased global trade means a tighterknit(紧密团结的)
international community, and efficient operations translate into higher productivity growth for the
economy. My wife complains about poor labour policies, the fact that Walmart squeezes suppliers,
and that it puts local shops out of business.
     Who is right? Will our marriage survive?
     Brian Gee
     Dear Brian,
     I have to agree with you about Walmart. Jason Furman, then an economist at New York University,
now an adviser to President Obama, famously argued in 2005 that Walmart was unwittingly (不知不觉地) a  progressive success story.The chain's prices don't much affect me(I prefer Whole Foods)but
Furman estimated  that they benefited lowandmiddleincome Americans to  the sum of around $250
billion a year.
      Walmart does not pay much, so it may depress  wages.Then again, it may increase wages by
offering jobs to the otherwise-unemployed. Either way, the benefits of low prices to Walmart shoppers
far outweigh any seemingly reasonable costs to Walmart employees. And while it is true that Walmart
employees tend to be poor, the same is true of Walmart shoppers.
      Armed with this information you can face your wife with confidence. You are sure to win the
conversation. The divorce is likely to be more argued.
      Economist

1. What concerned Brian Gee so much that he wrote the letter?

A. His wife refuses to shop at Walmart.
B. They are faced with a divorce.
C. They  can't  afford  the  costs  of  shopping  at   Walmart.
D. They are in conflict about shopping at Walmart.

2. Brian Gee's wife tends to hold the opinion that________.

A. it is wrong for Walmart to depress its employees' wages
B. consumers' lives have improved thanks to Walmart
C. Walmart's business operation increased productivity in economy
D. Walmart's business increases global trade

3. What can be inferred from the reply letter?

A. Some employees accept the low pay to keep the job.
B. Walmart appeals to only poor consumers and poor employees.
C. Employees suffer from Walmart's low prices more than consumers.
D. Jason Furman, a New York University economist, spoke highly of Walmart.
