Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?” He looked perturbed (不安). “Do you want to try it first?” he said. It didn’t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to? “ I replied. “There’s nothing wrong with it? “ This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. “No, no, But you should try it,” he said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others.” I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly R into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model. But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers. . . and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well. Why do we think that new options (选择) still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the foot that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine. 1. The shop assistant insisted that the writer should . A. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it B. compare the camera he had chosen with the others C. get more information about different companies D. trust him and stop asking questions 2. What does the writer mean by“it would be worth half what I paid for it” (Paragraph 2)? A. He should get a 50% discount. B. The price of the camera was unreasonably high. C. The quality of the camera was not good. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 D. The camera would soon fall in value. 3. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he . A. knew very little about it B. didn’t trust the shop assistant C. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best D. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers 4. It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer’s opinion, . A. people waste too much money on cameras B. cameras have become an important part of our daily life C. we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a product D. famous companies care more about profit than quality 【参考答案】1—4、 BDCC 阅读 Melissa Poe was 9 years old when she began a campaign for a cleaner environment by writing a letter to the then President Bush. Through her own efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards (广告牌) across the country. The response to her request for help was so huge that Poe established Kids For A Cleaner Environment(Kids F. A. C. E. )in 1989. There are now 300, 000 members of Kids F. A. C. E. worldwide and it is the world’s largest youth environmental organization. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 Poe has also asked the National Park Service to carry out a“Children’s Forest” project in every national park. In 1992, she was invited as one of only six children in the world to speak at the Earth Summit in Brazil as part of the Voices of the Future Program. In 1993, she was given a Caring Award for her efforts by the Caring Institute. Since the organization started, Kids F. A. C. E. members have distributed and planted over 1 million trees! Ongoing tree-planting projects include Kid’s Yards—the creation of backyard wildlife habitats (栖息地) —and now Kids F. A. C. E. is involved in the exciting Earth Odyssey, which is a great way to start helping. “Starting the club turned out to be a way to help people get involved with the environment. Club members started doing things like recycling, picking up litter and planting trees as well as inviting other kids to join their club. “ “We try to tell kids that it’s not OK to be lazy,” she explains. “You need to start being a responsible, environmentally friendly person now, right away, before you become a resource-sucking adult.” 1.

We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically(身体上). Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level,we are not allowing our brains to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight,but in controlling the 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 consumption of fatty,high-calorie,unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels. On another level,diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink,we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe thatgain comes without pain,and that life can be without resistance and struggle. The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us,but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营 养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional,and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous. Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us,it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds,not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this,we will be much better able to resist diet products,and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them. 1. From Paragraph 1,we learn that . A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potential B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products C. diet products are misleading people D. people are fed up with diet products 2. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to . A. try out a variety of diet foods 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods C. pay attention to their own eating habits D. watch their weight rather than their diet 3. In Paragraph 3,“gain comes without pain” probably means . A. losing weight is effortless B. it costs a lot to lose weight C. diet products bring no pain D. diet products are free from calories 4. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products . A. are over-consumed B. lack basic nutrients C. are short of chemicals D. provide too much energy 5. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion 【参考答案】53.1-5 CDABB
