    Almost every family in America or England buys at least one copy of a newspaper each .day Some people buy as many as two or three different papers.

    Why do people read newspapers?

    Newspapers supply us with news about events (事件 )in our hometowns, in our country, and in other parts of the world. Today we can read about important things that took place in foreign countries on the same day they happened, even in countries far away. But hundreds of years ago, news of things took months or even years to travel from one country to another. In those times, news was often passed from one person to another and never entirely(完全)true. Newspapers today supply us with more than just what happened in our country or in other countries. If we want to know what the weather will be like, we can read the weather reports. If we want to find out what films are being shown, or what plays or concerts we can go to we can look in the newspapers.

    In many countries people put notices in newspapers if they are trying to get a job, hunting for a house or rooms that they can rent(租),or even when looking for a person who is lost.

         Almost every body in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart (购物手车) .
    They  will , in  a  lifetime , push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know-or even
    think to ask-who it was that invented them. Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At
    that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging (吃力地携带)
    groceries  around  in baskets they had to carry.    
         One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would
    make shopping much easier for his customers , and would help to attract more business.On June 4,1937 ,
    Goldman's first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of the day
    as customers began arriving.He couldn't wait to seethem using his invention.But Goldmanwas disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look , but hardly  anybody would  give them a try.  After a while.
    Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren't using his carts. " Don't you think this arm is strong
    enough to carry a shopping basket?" one shopper replied.But Goldman wasn't beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try.
         To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were
    shopping! Seeing this, the real customers  gradually  began  copying the phony(假冒的) customers. As
    Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come-those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets , customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before. Today's shopping carts are five
    times larger than Goldman's original model. Perhaps that's one reason Americans today spend more than
    five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937-before the coming of the shopping
    cart.

    1. The underlined words"chrome-plated contraptions" in Paragraph  refer to
    _____________. ( No more than 3 words. )

    2. What was the purpose of Goldman's invention?  ( No more than 10 words. )
    ___________________________________________________________________

    3. Why was Goldman disappointed at first?  ( No more than 10 words. )
    ___________________________________________________________________

    4. Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market?  ( No more than 10 words. )
    __________________________________________________________________

    5. What do you think of Goldman? Please give your reasons. ( No more than 20 words)
    _____________________________________________________________

         Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice ,we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world,in rich and poor
    countries, choice is a luxury , something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think
    th ey are exercising their right to make choices , the whole  system  is merely an illusion , a false idea
    created by companies and advertisers hoping to sell their products.
         The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people's lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot
    is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness
    in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just  buying  an  unsuitable  item
    (商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought
    in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or
    trusted into the hands of the professionals ,lifestyle instructors , or advisors.
          It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of
    products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products
    also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers , which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing:  no choice, no anxiety.
    1. What does the author try to argue in Paragraph l?     
    A. The exercise of rights is a luxury.
    B. The practice of choice is difficult.
    C. The right of choice is given but at a price.
    D. Choice and right exist at the same time.
    2. Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?     
    A. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.
    B. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.
    C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.
    D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice.
    3. By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that___________.  
    A. advanced products meet the needs of people
    B. products of the latest design flood the market
    C. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry
    D. everyday goods need to be replaced often
    4. What is this passage mainly about?  
    A. The variety of choices in modern society.
    B. The opinions on people's right in different countries.
    C. The problems about the availability of everyday goods.
    D. The helplessness in purchasing decisions.
