閱讀下面的文章,從每題后面所給的四個選項中選出正確的一項。
As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.
Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.
One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.
Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.
Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”
1.The passage tells us that ________.
A.people seldom work long hours to make money
B.people hardly buy more things than necessary
C.people are sure everything they own is in the right place
D.people realize there is more to life than just making money
2.When Daniel was a reporter he ________.
A.lived in central London B.disliked his job
C.missed his children D.was well paid
3.Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm ________.
A.was easy to organize B.has improved family life
C.was extremely expensive D.has been a total success
4.What does the author mean by saying “the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph?
A.People work long hours to earn their living.
B.To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life.
C.Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life.
D.People spent too much time and money eating meals.

閱讀理解。
In America, each of the states likes to promote itself with a slogan(口號).I currently live in Utah, where the slogan is “Life Elevated”. It’s a nod to outdoor entertainment in the high country,including the ski industry. I previously lived in Colorado, a land with red dirt,
great mountains and golden plains. T he slogan there is “Colorful Colorado”. Years ago I lived in the “Peach State” of Georgia, and I grew up in New Mexico as a little boy, whose slogan is “Land of Enchantment(魔力)”.
We never seemed to get away from dust in New Mexico, so I appreciate the story of a newcomer to the Land of Enchantment who learned about dusty breezes. She was visiting an antique shop and the owner wiped down every item before showing it. The newcomer said,“
Everything gets dusty here pretty quickly, doesn’t it?”“That’s not dust, honey,” the shop owner replied, “That’s ENCHANTMENT.”.
That made the problem more acceptable. That an escalator(自動扶梯)broke. He posted a sign to warn customers. He chose not to use the traditional “Out of Order” or “Do Not Use” warnings. Instead, his sign read,“This Escalator Is Temporarily a Stairway.”He turned a minus into humor and made it a plus.
And in fact there are some things, like the weather, we can’t change. All we can change is our ways that we think and feel about them. I believe one of the best techniques to do this is to find some humor in the situation. Finding something amusing or enjoyable of difficulty, an irritation or a troublesome problem can be one of the most creative and effective things we can do. Sometimes the only sense you can make of a situation is a sense of humor.
1.The first paragraph is severed as a(n) .
A. predication B. explanation
C. introduction D. conclusion
2.How would the newcomer probably feel after hearing what the shop owner said?
A. Angry. B. Curious.
C. Nervous. D. Relaxed.
3.What’s the purpose of the writer’s writing the passage?
A. To encourage people to find the funny side in their daily life.
B. To show the effects of using slogans to raise the position.
C. To explain the skills of turning a disadvantage into humor.
D. To tell the strange experience of a bargain in an antique shop.
