In 2012, I had just recovered from a serious illness when I received an invitation to a writer’s conference in Orlando, Florida. My family and friends persuaded me that a holiday might be just what the doctor ordered, so off I went.

Arriving in the Sunshine State was not easy, but I managed to catch a taxi to the hotel. The next morning, I caught another taxi to do some shopping. Later I went to a café to buy some lunch, but having my sandwich and drink in my hands, I saw that all the tables were occupied (占用). Then I heard a friendly voice saying, “You can share my table.”

I thankfully sat down with the smiling elderly lady and we shared a happy lunch together. As the meal drew to a close she asked how long I would be in Orlando. I had already told her that I hadn’t hired (租用) a car, and hadn’t realized how costly taking taxis would be. After a while she said, “My dear, don’t use any more taxis. It would be my pleasure to drive you wherever you wish.”

I told her that I couldn’t put her to that trouble, but she insisted. She took details of where I was staying and the next morning she drove me to Disney World. She took me through the park’s gates and spent some time with me before leaving me to explore alone. At the end of the day, she returned to take me back to my hotel. The next few days, she drove me around Orlando’s tourist areas. I offered her money but she refused to take any.

When we had lunch on my last day, I thanked her for her kindness. I’ll never forget that wonderful lady who filled my holiday in Florida with wonderful memories.

One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizon---it’s already here.

While computer offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how far they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.

Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.

1.From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that __________ .

A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cads

B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today

C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash

D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before

2.If computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, what will businessmen do?

A. They will fire some employees and raise the work efficiency.

B. They will arrange for different employees to do different jobs according to their abilities and performance.

C. They will assign more work for the employees to do.

D. They will allow the personnel to do whatever work they want to do.

3.What does the underlined phrase “ring up sales” in paragraph two mean?

A. make an order of goods.

B. record sales on a cash register.

C. call the sales manager.

D. keep track of the goods in stock.

4.What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.

B. Advantages of credit cards in business.

“Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game?”

The Regional Director of the National Heritage Conservation Commission (國家遺產(chǎn)保護(hù)委員會(huì)) Kagosi Mwamulowe said the Barotse Plains is unique and it deserves to be on the list of the World Heritage Sites.

Mr. Mwamulowe said the Barotse Plains deserves to be included on the World Heritage List because it has a rich cultural heritage which includes the burial sites of former kings.

The Director said he hoped that the landscape would be declared as a heritage site next year in June. He also said it was important to protect Zambia’s unique culture for education and entertainment.

Chief Natural Heritage Officer Muyumbwa Ndiyoi said there will be a lot of benefits when the Barotse Landscape is declared a World Heritage Site because it will attract many tourists and business investments will increase.

Mr. Ndiyoi said the site will also benefit young people as knowledge will be passed down from generation to generation.

He was reacting to a question from Nalolo District Labour Officer Jason Ngoma who wanted to know how the people of Western Province will benefit once the Barotse Landscape is declared a World Heritage Site.

And University of Zambia Lecturer Charles Namate said there is a need for the site to be included on the World Heritage List because 50 years after its independence Zambia only has one heritage site, which is the Victoria Falls.

Lecturer Namate said the Barotse Landscape was facing a lot of environmental degradation, and that’s why there is a need to recognize the value of its landscape and the memories of dead kings.

The National Heritage Conservation Commission together with the Ministry of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs are in Western Province to hold meetings with Heads of Government Departments. The Commission also held closed-door meetings with the Litunga Lubosi Imwiko II of the Barotse Royal Establishment.

1.What do we know about the Barotse Plains?

A. It has royal tombs.

B. It is being well protected.

C. it will contribute to the local economic development

D. more people will start to learn about Zambia’s culture

3.In the text, Lecturer Namate expressed his concern about _____.

A. the future of the Barotse Plains

B. the development of Western Province

C. the development of tourism in Zambia

D. the environmental problems of the Barotse Plains

4.What can we infer from the text?
