【題目】Attempt a guess at the following question: In the English-speaking world, which country has the least affordable homes? You are wrong if you guessed the US, even with the housing bubble （氣泡） and main sadness. Nor is it the UK, where prices have risen because demand is far from supply. According to a recent survey of 227 cities around the globe, you must go south of the equator （赤道） to Australia to find the priciest homes．

The report measured a city’s housing market along the following guidelines. An “affordable” home required three times or less of the average family’s income to purchase. At four times earnings, a home fell into the “unaffordable” category. And a “seriously unaffordable” home needed five times a family’s income. In Australia, homes in the least affordable city cost just about 9.5 times the average income. Sydney, Perth, and Melbourne were only a little under this figure．

Australian officials offered little comment, apart from a general statement on the dismal findings. These prices make the possibility that many Australians will one day own a home largely unbelievable. Land rationing （配給制） and excessive development charges have raised prices, and the problem will only be solved through urgent action by the Rudd government．

Some American cities were also included on the least affordable list, four of which were in California. America is still involved in a mortgage（抵押）crisis, though, affecting the affordability of homes. Yet a number of US cities garnered “affordable” status, namely Dallas and Kansas. Australia had no cities listed in the top fifty places with affordable homes．

The survey suggests that you can find affordable homes in most places, just not if you’re Australian and choose to live down under．

【1】To buy an affordable house, you should pay _____．

A. 3 times or less of the average family’s income

B. 4 times or less of the average family’s income

C. 5 times or less of the average family’s income

D. 9.5 times or less of the average family’s income

【2】What caused the prices of houses to increase in Australia?

A．The rising family’s income．

B．The demand over supply.

C．The excessive development charges．

D．The decrease of land．

【3】The underlined word “dismal” in Paragraph 3 may mean _____．

A． cheerful B． satisfactory

C． difficult D．sad

【4】What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A． Affordable Houses B． A House is a Dream First

C． Housing Bubble D． Homes Too Expensive

【題目】There is a story told about how Neil set about winning over one particular boy. The boy was always causing trouble and clearly regarded all teachers 【1】 a hostile eye. On one occasion, Neil, out taking a 【2】 had just rounded a comer when he came across the boy playing on his own. The boy, not noticing he was no longer 【3】，picked up a stone and threw it through one of the school windows. Turning, he saw Neil. Instead of finding himself 【4】 at angrily as he expected, the boy was 【5】 to see Neil bend down, pick up a stone and hurl it at another window. The boy had to 【6】 —to get the window repaired, so did Neil. 【7】 he thought this a small price to pay for 【8】 a bond between himself and the boy, whose 【9】 improved afterwards，

Neil was a remarkable character who knew just when to be 【10】 and just when to adopt a lighter touch when handling children. Not everyone is so 【11】 . Willie Russell, the 【12】，likes to talk about the time when he had freshly 【13】 from teacher training college and had just begun to work as a teacher. On his first day at the school he was left to do playground duty on his own, rather a( n) 【14】 experience for one so new to the job. Surrounded by children at morning break, he turned to see one of the children thro-wing a stone at a school window. When the boy saw that he had been 【15】 by a teacher, his face fell. 【16】 for this boy, Russell remembered the story about Neil. Stooping down he picked up a stone and propelled(投擲）it through another window. Turning to smile proudly at the boy, his satisfaction was suddenly shattered by the sound of dozens of windows being 【17】 by flying stones.

Unfortunately he had failed to take into account the difference between his 【18】 and the one which Neil had faced, namely that he and the boy were not alone. It was at this point in his career that Russell decided that perhaps he was not quite cut out to be a teacher. Deciding after this that he was not suited to teaching he left to 【19】 playwriting. Most of his plays are very imaginative and 【20】 . A bit like this story,in fact.
