becomes less valuable．
People have got used in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation．What could be
bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars It seems that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall．If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices，one might think that inflation does not matter．But it does When money is losing value，it lacks one of the qualities of a good money---stability(穩(wěn)定)of value．It is no longer acceptable as a store of value；and it becomes an unsuitable standard of deferred(延期)payments．Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession，so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible Inflation therefore stimulates people spending，and prevents people from saving
56．What does inflation mean?
A．People’s money becomes more valuable
B．The problem of employment will be solved．
C．It’s easier for people to find better paying jobs．
D．Money keeps losing its value．
57．From the passage．we can know inflation ．
A．seldom happens B．is very common at present
C． is a must D．has become less in recent years
58．According to the passage，if incomes and prices rise together ．

C．inflation won’t be a problem D．inflation will remain to be a problem
59．When money loses its value ．
A．it's no longer stable B．the price of the goods will go down
C．foods will lose their value D．income will keep rising

B
Beggars are often seen sitting under blankets with heads sadly bowed as people pass them
by in Cambridge’s market centre．Some ask people passing by for change and some just sit and
wait to be given money．A few use aggressive behaviour to earn money．
To solve the problem of aggressive begging，an “altemative giving ”plan has been suggested Ten blue money boxes will be placed in busy places such as the market arid the railway station．It aims to encourage people not to give money directly to beggars but instead to give it generously to local homeless causes．
Supporters of this plan think it wilt be all effective way to solve the beggars’ alcohol and drug problems．But the police oppose the plan arguing that beggars who do not receive cash may turn to criminality to feed their addictions．The homeless charily “Crisis” said the success of any plan will depend on its style．They think that imaginative and positive plans can help create local understanding and sympathy instead of hardness，Most of the beggars dislike the plan because they think they will not get enough money。from the boxes for their showers，food and clothes．
Begging is a big social problem both in developing and developed countries．Governments must play a larger role in solving this problem．Training beggars to work and helping them to find appropriate jobs is one option This is especiall2,’true for developing countries where many low-skill jobs exist．

People seldom fell neutral about poetry．Those who love it sometimes give the impression
that it is a satisfactory substitute(替代晶)for food，shelter, and love．It isn’t Words，no matter how satisfying，are never an equivalent{(等價物)to life itself and human experiences．Those who dislike people sometimes say，on the other hand，that poetry is only words and good for nothing．That’s not true，either．It is easy to become frustrated(懊惱)by words---in poetry or in life---but when words represent and recreate true human feelings，as they often do in poetry, they can be very important．
Poetry is，in fact，more than just words．Those who know how to read poetry can easily extend their experience of life and their sense of human feelings．One reason poetry can be so important is that n is so closely concerned with feelings．Poetry is often full of ideas，too．a(chǎn)nd sometimes poems can be powerful experiences of the mind，but most poems are primarily about how people feel rather than how people think．Poems provide，in fact，a language for feeling，and one of the poetry’s most insistent merits involves its attempt to express the inexpressible (難以表達(dá)的)．How can anyone，for example，put into words what it means to be in 1ove or what it feels to lose someone one cares about? Poetry flies，and it often captures(捕捉)exactly the shade of emotion that feels just right to a reader．No single poem can be said to express all the things that love and death feels like，or means，but one of the joys of experiencing poetry occurs when we read a poem and want to say, “Yes，that is just what it is like．I know exactly what that line means but I’ve never been able to express it so well．”Poetry can be the voice of our feelings even when our minds are speechless with grief or joy．
66．What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?
A．Few people think that poetry is neutral．
B．People always differ in their views about poetry．
C．Few people understand the true feelings poetry expresses．
D．People usually have an obvious attitude towards poetry．
67．One reason that poetry can be important is that it is ．
A．a(chǎn)bout how people feel B．a(chǎn)bout how people think
C．the poets’ feelings about words D．a(chǎn)nything but patterns of lines
68．The underlined word “merits” in the second paragraph means “ ”．
A．purposes B． advantages C．powers D．effects
69．In the author’s opinion，poetry ．
A．is a substitute for food，shelter，and love B．should make its rc8ders satisfied
C．is more important than words D．often tries to capture real human feelings
70．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．How to write poetry B．What is poetry
C． The powers of poetry D．People’s attitude to poetry

As college tuition rises students nationwide are demanding lower textbook costs. From boycotting book-buying altogether to promoting online shopping, 1 are looking for proactive(預(yù)先的) ways to keep textbooks affordable.
“I hear a lot of students say they
can’t buy books, they can’t 2 them, and so they find
ways to get around it,” says Rick
Books are so 3 , he says, that many students aren’t buying them anymore. Instead, they rely on library reserve(儲備) copies and 4 books with classmates. Students often register for courses based on materials costs, he says, and 5 classes if 6 can’t find inexpensive texts.
“When the test was coming up, 8 go to the library and someone else would be using the book, doing the same thing as you,” he says. “It would be a big problem.”
“That can get pretty expensive when you are already 9 and you have other expenses,” he says. “It is a market and unfortunately 10 is seen as an avenue of profit. 11 education definitely has a corporate aspect to it these days.”

So Turgeon started a 15 called textbook?鄄revolution.org, which 16 students and professors with links to
free books online. Turgeon says his site averages about 300
“It’s a big issue for me,” says
Turgeon, who buys books 20 and online if he can’t find them in the
library. “Most of my school is paid for by loans and grants; I don’t have that
kind of cash sitting around. As a science major, I’d spend $600 to $

An old carpenter about to retire was telling his boss about his plans to stop working with construction and enjoy life with his wife and kids. He was so 1 about retiring that he wasn’t even looking forward to the 2 of that month. All he wanted was to 3 .
The boss was upset about losing a 4 worker and as a personal 5 asked the man to work on the construction of one last house. The old carpenter didn’t want to 6 it but he couldn’t deny his boss one last favor. So he took the job, but it was clear that his 7 wasn’t in it. He just wanted to get it finished and 8 with. Consequently he was careless and 9 up using bad quality material in the 10 of the house. It was a sad way to finish such an excellent 11 with so many years of total 12 .
When the house was done his boss was there to 13 it. He gave the 14 to the house to the old carpenter and said “This is your house. It’s a gift for you after so many years of hard work.”
The carpenter was 15 . “What a shame!” he thought. If he had known that it was his house he would have done things 16 .

Sometimes the numbing（麻痹的） effect of TV can be helpful. Especially if you’re a kid being 1 with a needle at the hospital.
Researchers confirmed the distracting（分散注意）power of 2 ―something parents have long known when they found that children 3 cartoons suffered less pain from a hypodermic（皮下的） needle than 4 not watching TV. The cartoons were even more comforting than Mom.
While it’s 5 to have a powerful distraction for children getting painful medical procedures, it is also troubling “because we have demonstrated the excessive（過度的） 6 of television,” 7 chief author, Carlo Bellieni, a father of three.
The study involved 69 children, ages 7 to 12, who 8 separated into three groups and then asked to rate（評估） their pain on a numerical（數(shù)字的） scale 9 they were stuck with a needle used to take a blood sample. The children’s mothers 10 rated the kids’ pain.
Those watching TV cartoons reported half the 11 as those who were being soothed（make a pain less severe） by Mom. When 12 with children who just sat in a hospital room with 13 who didn’t try to soothe them, the TV watchers reported one-third the pain.
“The power of television is strong and it can be 14 for children if it is stronger than the force made by the mother to distract children,” Bellieni said. “ 15 believe that this power must be controlled and reduced.“
In general, Mom’s soothing touch may be overrated, another 16 said.
Other studies have found that the mothers and fathers’ attempts at comforting often backfire（適得其反） 17 it makes the children feel that “something must really be bad” if they need to be soothed, said Dr. Brenda McClain. She said the Bellieni’s effect may not be just television, 18 any kind of distraction, such as storytelling. “Distraction is a very powerful tool,” she said.
But it’s got to be passive distraction like television, not one requiring children to 19 anything because when they are asked to play, their 20 pain levels go up.
Bellieni, who has noticed the distracting effect of television on his own kids, theorizes（論述） that being absorbed in television releases（解脫） pain-reducing hormones in children.

If you’re going outside in the cold, stay safe and warm. Make sure your kids have a snack before going out. The 1 will give their bodies energy in the cold weather.
And protect your kids’ faces with sunscreen. Even though the idea of a sunburn in January can seem odd, snow can 2 up to 85% of the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
Kids should dress warmly using layers of clothes ―but not before using the bathroom! If the top layer gets 3 from snow or freezing rain, they can peel off some clothes down to a dry layer.
Avoid cotton clothing because 4 won’t keep the kids very warm. Stick with wool or other fabrics. Dress them in long underwear, a turtleneck, and a sweater and coat. 5 more layers depending on the temperature. Waterproof pants and jackets are great top layers because they don’t 6
