I HEAR America beeping(嘟嘟響).
Beep,says my cellophane when it gets a text message.
Beep,says my microwave oven when my sandwich is warmed up.
Sometimes I long for a natural sound:a bird singing,dog barking,children laughing, anything to drown out the maddening beeps that have become the soundtrack(配樂)to modern life.
My cellophane? It isn’t enough that its ring tone offerings seem to stretch from “annoymg” toextremely “annoying”. It also has to beep whenever someone texts messages me.
The microwave? A bell rings when it's finished heating my food.But is that enough? No.If I don’t rush to it right away, it starts beeping,like an impatient child tugging(用力拉) at my sleeve(袖子).
The smoke detector(探測器) is the worst offender.When its batteries are in need of replacement,it 1ets out a series of chirps.The things that don’t beep buzz(嗡嗡響).And for some reason,beeping and buzzing is beneath them,they clear their throats and perform a symphony. Like my TV, each time I turn it on, it performs an aria(詠嘆調(diào)):La di da di dum.Salutions! Here I am! Same thing when I turn it off: La di da di dum.Good bye, kind sir! Until the next time
But at 1east I know where each of these sounds is coming from.That isn’t always the case.For weeks, my wife and I were awoken in the night by a beeping.There,in the stillness, we went through the possible suspects.Could we have a text message? Could it be any of the devices(裝置)able to make a sound? Curling iron, rice cooker, smoke detector, TV set,clock radio...
The only way to tell was to chase the sound down ,but no sooner would we pull on our bathrobes than the beeping would stop. We didn’t hear it every night but often enough that we would climb into bed wondering whether our sleep would be interrupted by that maddening sound,that beep.
Finally,early one morning,my wife found it:in the study,under a desk,a big plastic cube that was plugged into the wall.It was an uninterruptible power supply that we’d inherited(繼承)from my wife’s mother.We’d never known it was capable of speech.
I think it just wanted someone to talk to.
14.What does the writer truly mean by saying“I hear America beeping”?
A.American people like devices that beep.
B.Americans are crazy about sending text messages.
C.In modern society people are dependant on technology.
D.The soundtrack to modern life is no longer natural.
15.Why couldn’t the author and his wife find the source of the noise in their house in the beginning?
A.There were too many devices for them to check.
B.They were unwilling to get up at midnight.
C.They had never known that thing could beep too.
D.The noise didn’t come every day.
16.After reading this passage,we can probably tell the author .
A.enjoys being surrounded by beeps B.has a touch of humor in his writing
C.tries to avoid using anything that beeps
D.understands the beeping is designed to be user-friendly

Global financial big dogs are no match for China's "Da Ma", or housewives, who have crowded into gold stores across China, buying up 300 tons of gold over the past two weeks. No wonder gold prices have steadied after taking a dive.
During the May Day holiday, gold stores were crowded with mostly female customers. Most of them are middle-aged "Chinese housewives". This group of buyers has risen to fame recently. They are big spenders and are desperate to get their hands on a bargain. "I bought some gold jewellery and kept them as a gift for my son when he gets married," said a buyer from Shanghai.
The gold business is skyrocketing. "Our sales are growing by the day. Yesterday we sold more than ten million yuan of gold products," a gold store salesperson said. The gold rush in China started about two weeks ago thanks to a decline in global gold prices. Media reports suggest that Chinese housewives have spent about 100 billion yuan, or about 16 billion US dollars, purchasing 300 tons of gold since mid-April. That has helped support gold prices.
"Gold prices depressed since the middle of last month but have risen gradually. That is mainly due to the strong demand from Asian markets," said foreign trader Zhang Chen from Industrial & Commercial Bank of China. "Some people even joked that Chinese housewives have beaten Wall Street analysts." For Chinese people, with limited investment options, the only thing better than buying gold is buying gold at discount prices.
1.What does the author indicate(表明;預(yù)示)in the first sentence of the first paragraph?
A. The global big dogs can’t match with Chinese housewives.
B. Chinese housewives spend a great deal of money on gold
C. China's "Da Ma" help a lot to support the global economic crisis
D. Chinese housewives have a better consumption idea than global financial big dogs .
2.We can infer from the passage that_______________
A. China’s "Da Ma" become the largest gold buyers due to a decline in global gold prices.
B. China's "Da Ma" crowded into stores to get gold as the best gifts for sons when they get married.
C. China's "Da Ma" are bigger spenders and cleverer than global financial big dogs.
D. Chinese housewives are most willing to spend money in buying gold .
3.In the writer’s view, Chinese housewives are desperate to get their hands on a bargain because_____.
A. it is worthy to buy gold.
