    Most American students have said goodbye to fancy(高级的) fruits these days. In school canteens across the country, cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their places.
    “People are afraid to spend now,” said Linda Morrow, who owns a shoe and handbag store. “They don’t know what the future will bring.”
    During the financial crisis(金融危机), several of the country’s biggest banks have been forced to sell or close. This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods.
    Samira Marino, a restaurant owner in Miami, has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and more people are sharing meals. In more than two dozen interviews with The Associated Press across the country last month, Americans talked about their concerns, from worries about small businesses to doubts about simply making ends meet.
    The crisis began last year. Experts think it was because US banks lend money too easily. Last year a lot of people and companies, who borrowed money, have found themselves unable to pay it back. This left the banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money. Since the banks borrowed money between themselves and even across borders(国界), the whole world was in trouble.
    This month the US government agreed on a $700 billion plan to try to save the financial market. But no one is sure whether it will help or not. President George W. Bush has warned it will take some time.
    Last week top finance officials from 20 countries promised to work together to find a way out of the money trouble.
    小题1:Why are people in the US afraid to spend?
    A．Because they think it’s unnecessary.
    B．Because they don’t have the habit of spending money.
    C．Because they worry about their future.
    D．Because they don’t have enough money.
    小题2:The fifth paragraph mainly _________.
    A．tells what it is like in a crisis
    B．explains why there is a crisis
    C．warns people of the danger of the crisis
    D．asks people not to borrow money from banks
    小题3:People feel ______ about the US plan to save the market.
    A．satisfiedB．doubtfulC．hopelessD．angry
    小题4:The best title for the story is ________.

    Nothing beats sitting down in front of the TV with some delicious candy or tasty French fries.
    Recently, an online list of favorite snacks in China became popular. It says that peanuts (花生), walnuts (核桃) and chocolate are good for our health, but jelly (果冻), potato chips and lollipops (棒棒糖) are “bad” for us.
    Kids, though, hardly care if the snacks are good or bad for their health. They love them either way. Some snacks often have special importance in a certain country or culture.
    Potato chips and French fries are very popular in the US. They are cheap and tasty. People don’t need to wait for a long time to eat it. Popcorn is another common snack. People love eating it when they are watching sports games or visiting the amusement park. Most cinemas sell it to attract customers.
    In the UK, kids often sit down for snacks after school. They call this “afternoon tea”. A traditional afternoon tea includes biscuits (饼干) and tea. People also have scones (烤饼) with jam and cream, which is probably the most classic English snack.
    In South Korea, Choco Pie is one of the most popular snacks. It’s also a favorite of soldiers. The sweet snack makes them happy and helps them get through hard times.
    However, it is not just about what you eat as a snack – it’s how much you eat and when. Chips and French fries are high in calories(卡路里) and eating too much may make you fat. Sweet snacks like candy and chocolate are high in sugar and eating a lot may give you bad teeth.
    小题1:From the passage, we can know popular snacks in different countries except_______.
    A．ChinaB．CanadaC．AmericaD．England
    小题2:The Chinese meaning of the phrase “get through” in this passage is probably________.

    小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．The snacks including peanuts, walnuts and jelly are bad for our health.
    B．People love to eat popcorn when they are watching movies.
    C．A traditional afternoon tea includes pies and tea.
    D．If you want to have good teeth, you can have more candy and chocolate.
    小题4:According to the passage, we need to care about ____________
    A. why we eat snacks                      B. where we eat snacks
    D. who we eat snacks with                   D. how much snacks we eat

    Weddings are quite different——from nation to nation, from area to area, and from the past to the present. However, all people consider weddings to be important and happy events.
    People in the Western world go to church for their weddings, while some tribes（部落） in Africa hold their weddings in the open around a campfire, with much dancing.
    In China, weddings are different from those abroad. People in the countryside used to carry the bride in a sedan chair from her parents’ house to her new home. Now sedan chairs are seldom seen. Instead, the bridegroom may take the bride to their own new house by bicycle or by tractor（拖拉机）. In the city the bride usually prefers a car, brightly decorated(装饰) with flowers and a Chinese character(汉字) meaning double happiness. However, a wedding dinner is necessary in both the countryside and the city. Relatives(亲戚) and friends who are invited to the dinner usually drink to the happiness of the bride and bridegroom.

    When kids at Archisha Singh’s school in Loudoun County have a birthday, no parents buy them birthday cakes.
    Some schools are worried that children might become fat or eat unhealthy food, so they have banned(禁止) cupcakes altogether.
    What do kids do? Birthday kids can donate a book. The headmaster of their school will then read it to their class. The headmaster also hands out birthday certificates(证书), special pencils, and makes sure the kids’ names are read out in the school’s morning news.
    Parents can send stickers(贴纸), pencils and other things to students. None of the things can be food. If a child donates jump ropes or other sports equipment, that child may get his or her name on a certificate. It will then be displayed at school.
    Archisha really misses cupcakes, especially those her mother used to make for her kindergarten class, but her school’s way is fun, too. “I like both ways,” she said.
    The headmaster says it’s important that the school should be not only teaching, but offering healthy choices to kids. “There is a better life without cupcakes. If you eat a cupcake, then it’s gone in two seconds, but a book lasts a lifetime. The sports equipment lasts, and the kids can use it day after day.”

    Reader’s Digest is a monthly magazine. Before the 1980s, it belonged to a privately held company, which was started in 1922 by Lila Bell Wallace and Dewitt Wallace. This magazine is small and easy to carry, just half the size of most American magazines, which caused a phrase in 2005, “America in your pocket.” It is the best selling magazine in the USA. At present, its circulation(发行量） in the USA has reached 10 million copies and the number of the readers there is 38 million. Its global circulation outside the USA has reached 40 million people throughout more than 70 countries in 21 languages.
    This magazine’s focus(焦点） is not news but more of cultural views because the editors think people now can get timely news from somewhere else. They hope this magazine can give readers something that is about special personal experiences, something the readers can share with their families. In different countries, this magazine provides a window to the world for the local readers. Some parts of the magazine are about the local customs and interests of the local readers. The other parts give the local readers information from all over the world.
    This magazine actually used to be a family business until the Wallaces died in the 1980s. Because they had no children, there was no one to take over the company. Sixteen years ago, this company went public and became a public company.
    小题1:How often does Reader’s Digest come out in the USA?
    A．Once a year.B．Once a month.C．Once a week.D．Once a day.
    小题2:What’s the number of the readers of this magazine all over the world?
    A．38 million.B．40 million.C．78 million.D．108 million.
    小题3:This magazine’s focus includes the following topics except _________.
    A．something about the timely news
    B．some special personal experiences
    C．some information from all over the world
    D．the local customs and interests of the local readers
