| PITTSBURGH, Sept. 7-At 26, many people haven't even decided on a career. Luke Ravenstahl, cashing in on his family's political tradition, is already the mayor of Pittsburgh, the youngest mayor of any major city in the country. Although mayors elsewhere have been younger, Jeff Dunkel was 18 in 2001 when he was elected mayor of Mount Carbon, small towns in New York, and elsewhere have also elected teenagers as mayors. But, Tallahassee, is the only other city with a population over 100 000 that has had a mayor as young as Mr. Ravenstahl. A supporter of Mr. Ravenstahl said concerns about Mr. Ravenstahl's age would dissipate once the city saw his work ethic. But now comes the hard part. As he strives to be taken seriously and take charge of a city only recently back from the edge of bankruptcy (破产), the baby-faced mayor said that even the smallest decisions felt weighty, even what to wear in the Steelers game matters. And another pressing issue is to strengthen the city's economy. Pittsburgh has lost all its mills, nearly half its population and much of its downtown commercial district in the last several decades. "But Pittsburgh has 50 000 college students, and our challenge is to figure out how to retain them and to increase downtown development." He said. But one of the biggest uncertainties is how long he will remain in office. According to the city charter, Mayor Ravenstahl's term will not expire until November 2009. Some city lawyers, however, have argued that he must face the electorate next year. And residents in Pittsburgh are still keeping judgment on him Deli, Jimmy Cvetic, a sandwich shop owner, said "I call him Cool Hand Luke. He'll be all right, but he's going to need a cool hand to get through this." Mayor Ravenstahl said he was still trying to deal with the challenge he faced. |

| In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase, therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city. Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage. Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages. Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if "other things are equal". Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Fconomists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions. |
| 1. There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. cause a shortage of apartments B. worry those who rent apartments as homes C. increase the profits of landlords D. encourage landlords to invest in building apartment |
| 2. There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. cause a shortage of apartments B. worry those who rent apartments as homes C. increase the profits of landlords D. encourage landlords to invest in building apartment |
| 3. The problem of unemployment will arise _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. if the minimum wage is set too high B. if the minimum wage is set too low C. if the workers are unskilled D. if the maximum wage is set |
| 4. The passage tells us _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the relationship between supply and demand B. the possible results of government controls C. the necessity of government control D. the urgency of getting rid of government controls |
| 5. Which of the following statements is NOT true? |
|
[ ] |
| A. The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted. B. Minimum wage cannot always protect employees. C. Economic theory can predict the results of economic decisions if other factors are not changing. D. Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory. |

| Americans wear black for mourning while Chinese wear white. Westerners think of dragons as monsters while Chinese honor them as symbols of God. Chinese civilization has often shown such polarities (极性) with the West, as though each stands at extreme ends of a global string. Now in the University of California, Berkeley, a psychologist has discovered deeper polarities between Chinese and American cultures-polarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth. His findings go far toward explaining why American cultures seem to be contentious and Chinese cultures so passive, when compared to each other. More importantly, the research opens the way for the peoples of the East and the West to learn from each other in fundamental ways. The Chinese could leam much from Western methods for determining scientific truth, said Kaiping Peng, a former Beijing scholar, who is now a UC Berkeley assistant professor of psychology. And Americans could profit enormously from the Chinese tolerance for accepting contradictions in social and personal life, he said. "Americans have a terrible need to find out who is right in an argument," said Peng. "The problem is that at the interpersonal level you really don't need to find the truth, or maybe there isn't any." Chinese people, said Peng, are far more content to think that both sides have flaws and virtues, because they have a holistic (整体 的) awareness that life is full of contradictions. They do far less blaming of the individual than Americans do, he added. In studies of interpersonal argument, for example, when subjects were asked to deal with contradictory information stemming from conflict between a mother and a daughter or a student and a school, Peng found that Americans were "non-compromising, blaming one side-usually the mother-for the causes of the problems, demanding changes from one side to attain a solution and offering no compromise" in dealing with the conflict. Compared to this angry, blaming American stance, the Chinese were paragons (模范) of compromise, finding fault on both sides and looking for solutions that moved both sides to the middle. |
| 1. In Paragraph l, the author sets examples in order to _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. expose the contradiction between Chinese and Americans B. show the differences between Chinese culture and American culture C. find the reason for the differences D. generalize the main idea of the passage |
| 2. The underlined word "contentious" in Paragraph 2 probably means _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. conservative B. aggressive C. objective D. optimistic |
| 3. Compared with Americans, Chinese are _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. likely to find the truth in life B. reluctant to admit their own failure C. reluctant to have a general idea of things D. likely to know advantages and disadvantages of things |
| 4. The studies show that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. an American treats his or her mother badly B. ideas of treating the aged are different C. personalities of Chinese and American are different D. conflicts of Americans and Chinese are different |
| 5. The main idea of the passage is _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. polarities between American and Chinese culture B. priorities of American culture to Chinese C. different attitudes towards the aged D. different manners m social occasions |

Sleeping too much or too little increases your risk of diabetes Middle-aged or old people who get too little sleep, or too much, are far more likely to develop diabetes, says scientists. A study has found that those who did not enjoy the optimum level of seven to eight hours' sleep a night were two and a half times more likely to develop a blood sugar abnormality linked to type 2 diabetes. E.

| 阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 Simulate a Life The ultimate goal of life is to achieve happiness, and the way to achieve happiness is to wise management. So says The Sims (模拟人生), an American strategic life-simulation computer game that lets you create, direct, and manage the lives of SimCity's residents. Similar to the life of a real person, the game begins with the creation of your simulated (模拟的) people: pick a name and a gender, decide on personality/astrological sign (星座), and them choose a look from a variety of heads, bodies, and skin tones. Each little Sim person has all basic needs (Hunger, Comfort, Fun, etc.) like a human which can be satisfied by interaction with other Sim or purchased objects. Name, gender, and appearance don't affect gameplay much, but personality determines how your Sim plays with others. One gameplay goal is to improve your Sim and eventually help him or her achieve happiness. With proper management he or she can climb a career ladder, which nets him or her more money. This allows the purchase of higher quality stuff, which lets you improve your Sim even more. With suitable care, your Sim can have mate, kids, and a mansion with an indoor pool. Mismanage your new, simulated family, and fights will break out, jobs will be lost, and the house will fall apart. With The Sims, you can create whatever and whomever you desire. Triumph or tragedy? You name it. In your real life, it is the same case. 【写作内容】 1. 以约30个词概括短文的要点； 2. 然后以约120个词写一篇文章，并包括以下要点： (1) 模拟人生就是规划人生，说出人生规划的重要性。 (2) 就如何有效规划高三学习，谈谈你的具体做法。 【写作要求】 1. 可以参照阅读材料的篇章结构组织故事，但不得直接引用原文中的句子。 2. 标题自定。 |
