| Renting a color television makes more sense than buying. Here's why: 1. The longer you rent (租), the less you pay. Each year the monthly rate is reduced. You can reach a low rate of not much more than $12 a week. 2. Service is fast and free. We can have your set installed (安装) in two days. If anything goes wrong, we'll have it fixed the same day or lend you another set while we're mending it. And don't forget: service and spare parts are free! 3. If you don't have an aerial (天线), we'll install one for you, and that will be free, too. All you have to pay is the installation charge (安装费)! 4. You can choose from all kinds of models, and what's more, if after a certain period of time, and you would like a new model, you can change. How's that for service? 5. No deposit (押金) is needed. You pay only the monthly rental fee. But if you pay in advance, you can save money. Pay twelve months' fees when you begin to hire, and we'll give you a month's hire without charge. 6. If you decide that you want to stop renting and buy the set you have on hire, this can be arranged-with a generous allowance (折扣) for the fees already paid. |

| We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. This is so familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process (过程) is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant (连续的) darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they normally do. In fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious (神秘的) way of knowing the time. Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of "inner clock". This discovery (发现) may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also animals -including man -have this "inner clock" which controls the working of their bodies and influences (影响) their activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food. In the past, this did not matter very much because people lived in natural condition. In the modern world, things are different; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night. It would be very useful, then, to know more about the "inner clock". Such ordinary things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves. |
| 1. A recent experiment showed that _______. |
|
[ ] |
| A. different flowers open and close at different times of day B. for their opening and closing, flowers do not need information from the outside world C. flowers are influenced by weak light even when they are in a dark room D. flowers can be used for telling the time |
| 2. The "inner clock" _______. |
|
[ ] |
| A. is an unimportant discovery B. is only found in animals C. has not been understood by far D. has an effect on human life |
| 3. Further study of the "inner clock" will be useful because . |
|
[ ] |
| A. it might help us in some way B. we do not yet understand plants and animals well enough C. the number of spacemen and airplane pilots is fast increasing D. we should try to live more naturally than we do now |
| 4. Kept in constant darkness, flowers _______. |
|
[ ] |
| A. will not open or close as usua B. will not open any longer C. will open as they do in natural conditions D. will always remain in full blossom (开花) |
| 5. ______ have a mysterious power of knowing time without information from the outside world. |

[ ] |

| Sociologists (社会学家), working in western countries, have found that a large number of women wished they had been born men. The number is said to be as high as 60% in Germany. "Women often wish they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still men's world," said Dr James Helen, one of the sociologists who did the study. Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support (养活) his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against their wives working at all. When wives go out to work , they say, the home and children can not be taken good care of. If women take full-time jobs, they won't be able to do what they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up the children. Some women disagree. They say they want to get out of their homes and to have freedom (自由) to choose between work and home life. Women have the right of equal pay and equal chances (平等机会). Anne Harper has a very good job. She also believes in "women's liberation (解放) ". "I don't wish I were a man." she says, and I don't think many women do. But I do wish people would stop treating (对待) us like second-class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs only to men-usually they are the best ones. If you are a man, you have a much better chance of living a wonderful life. How many women scientists are there …or engineers? |

|
[ ] |

|
[ ] |
| A. women need chances to go out of the home more often B. women want more freedom in deciding the kind of life they want C. if women are given equal pay, they can do everything instead of men D. women are no longer interested in taking care of their homes |
| 3. Anne Harper didn't wish to be a man _______. |
|
[ ] |
| A. because she believed in "Women's Liberation" B. but she wished to get the same job as men C. because she had got a good job D. but she wished to be treated the same as a man |
| 4. Anne Harper thought that _______. |
|
[ ] |
| A. women should live a better life than men B. women should be really liberated C. women should be given better jobs than men D. women should live a more wonderful life than men |
| 5. Which of the following is not true according to the passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. There are more men scientists, engineers than women ones. B. Women are second-class people, so they shouldn't live a better life. C. Women do the same jobs as men, but get paid less than men. D. There are some best jobs that women have few chances to take. |
