     For three years, no matter  38 the weather was like, she was always waiting at the bus stop around 8:00 am. On   39   days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Summertime  40   out neat, belted cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses.  41   , she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I  42   all this only after she was seen no more.

Producing money requires both artistic and technological skills. Dollar bills are made so that they are interesting to look at but very hard to copy. In total, there are sixty-five separate steps required to make a dollar bill．

The money making process begins when a yearly order is sent by the Federal Reserve Board. That order will then be divided in half. Half will be done here in Washington, D.C. and the other half will be done in Fort Worth, Texas. Next, the Bureau orders special paper which is actually cloth since it is 75% cotton and 25% linen．

This paper is made so that it can last a long time. And, it is made with details that make it hard to copy. For example, bills contain security threads. These narrow pieces of plastic are inside the paper and run along the width of the bill. This special paper is also made with very small blue and red fibers．

Once the money is printed, guillotine cutters (切紙機(jī)) separate the sheets into two notes, then into individual notes．The notes are organized in "bricks," each of which contains forty one-hundred-note packages. The bricks then go to one of twelve Federal Reserve Districts, which then give the money to local banks. Ninety-five percent of the bills printed each year are used to replace money that is in circulation, or that has already been removed from circulation．

You may know that America's first president, George Washington, is pictured on the one- dollar bill. But do you know whose face is on the two, five, ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred-dollar bills? They are, in order. President Thomas Jefferson, President Abraham Lincoln, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, President Andrew Jackson, President Ulysses Grant and statesman Benjamin Franklin．

The average life span of a one-dollar bill is twenty-one months. But a ten-dollar bill lasts only about eighteen months．The one hundred-dollar bill lasts the longest, eighty-nine months．One popular question is about the two-dollar bill. This bill is not printed very often. This is because many Americans believe two-dollar bills are lucky, so they keep them． 

1.During money production, we must consider all EXCEPT that it must                    .

A. last a long time                       B. be hard to copy

C. be done by the president's order D. be interesting to look at

2.We can learn from the passage that the security threads                    .

A. are narrow pieces of plastic

B. are pressed outside the bills

C. are longer than the width of the bills

D. are actually made of cotton and linen

3. How many presidents are printed on the American money?

A. Four                     B. Five                     C. Six                  D. Seven

4.Why are the two-dollar bills not made often?

A. Because no one wants them．

B. Because they aren't damaged quickly like other bills．

C. Because they aren't used in America any more．

D. Because their material is a bit more expensive．

During the early years of American settlement, a new form of English was beginning to develop in the islands of the West Indies and the southern part of the mainland, spoken by the black population. The beginning of the seventeenth century saw the happening of the slave trade. Ships from Europe travelled to the West African coast, where they exchanged cheap goods for black slaves. The slaves were shipped in terrible conditions to the Caribbean islands and the American coast, where they were in turn exchanged for such products as sugar and molasses(糖蜜). The ships then returned to England, completing an “Atlantic triangle”of journeys, and the process began again. Britain and the United States had outlawed the slave trade by 1865, but by that time, nearly 200 years of trading had taken place. By the middle of the nineteenth century, there were over four million black slaves in America.

The policy of the slave-traders was to bring people of different language backgrounds together in the ships, to make it difficult for groups to plan rebellion. The result was the growth of several pidgin (混雜語言) forms of communication, and in particular a pidgin between the slaves and the sailors many of whom spoken English. Once arriving in the Caribbean, this pidgin English continued to act as a major means of communication between teh black population and the new landowners, and among the blacks themselves. Then, when children came to be born, the pidgin became their mother tongue, thus producing the first black Creole(克里奧爾語) speech in the region. This Creole English rapidly came to be used throughout the cotton plantations (種植園), and in the coastal towns and islands.

1.Which of the following shows the route of slave trade correctly?

A．EuropeWest African coastthe Caribbean islands and the American coastEurope

B．EuropeWest African coastEuropethe Caribbean islands and the American coast

C．West African coastEuropethe Caribbean islands and the American coastEurope

D．West African coastEuropethe Caribbean islands and the American coastWest African coast

2.It can be inferred that the slaves in the same ship ____.

A．didn’t communicate with each other

B．could understand several languages

C．spoke different languages

D．came from the same place

3.Creole speech comes from _____.

A．Spanish and English

B．English and an African language

C．a(chǎn) European language and an American language

D．a(chǎn)n African language and an American language

4.What is the text mainly about?

A．The history of slave trade.                 B．“Atlantic triangle” of journeys.

C．Languages spoken in America              D．The birth of black English
