4．Tom arrived at the New York airport two hours before the flight to Paris．He was wearing three shirts，a jacket，two pairs of socks，a pair of shorts，and two pairs of jeans．He was carrying one small backpack，which was very full，but he didn't have any other luggage．Tom needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight．He found Tony near the Air France counter．Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package．
"Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris．He will have a sign with your name on it．I think you can find him easily，"Tony said，"You don't have any luggage，right？"
"Only this backpack，"Tom answered．"You said I could bring one carry-on bag．"
"That's right．One carry-on bag is fine．Have a good trip．"
"Thanks．"
Is Tom a criminal （罪犯）？Not at all．He is an air-courier （空中信使）．And he paid only﹩110for the round-trip ticket to Paris．Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries．Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day．Often，the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company．It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier，but it is quick．

15．"Mom，I can't do this．"My teenage son Bret stood in front of me with his hands full of papers．
"Can't do what？"I asked while preparing supper．
"All these!"he waved his hands up and down．"There's no way I can do everything my teachers are asking me to do．"
I stopped what I was doing and turned to face him．I had never seen him so upset．He was my jovial son．He made good grades in school and nothing ever seemed to bother him．As I studied his face，I could see his eyes filled with tears．
Walking over to the kitchen table，I sat down and asked him to join me．
"Show me what you have to do．"
Bret sat down in a chair and dropped the papers in front of him．
"Mr．Jones，my chemistry teacher，wants me to make a project for the Science Fair．"
"Okay，And what else？"
"I have an algebra test next week，and that will be one-third of our grade this school term!"
"And I have to write an English essay．And midterms are the next week!I need to study for them and I have to get help with Spanish．There's no way I can do everything!"
His hands shook as he picked up each assignment．It broke my heart to see him so stressed out．I wanted to help him，yet I couldn't do the work for him．I looked at Bret and said．"You don't have to do everything at once．You can do one at a time．Let's make a list of what you need to do．"
So，one by one，we listed each item．Then we put the due date next to the item．Next we separated the items into parts．For instance，the chemistry project needed supplies．So we put a deadline on getting the supplies．He had a friend who could help him with Spanish，so we had to put that time in．During the process，I saw my son visibly relax．When we finished with the list，I asked，"Do you think you can do this now？"
He smiled and I saw his confidence return．"Sure!Thanks，Mom!"
There is a saying that asks，"How do you eat an elephant？"The answer is，"One bite at a time．"

12．I needed to buy a digital camera，one that was simply good at taking good snaps（快照），maybe sometimes for magazines．Being the careful type，I fancied a reliable brand（品牌）．So I went on the net，spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites，wrote down the names of three top recommendations（推荐） 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 upset．"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 anything wrong with it？"This made him look a bit angry 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 all kinds of just a little different prices and discounts（折扣），with each company selling a type of models 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 H into consideration 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 says in a low voice 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 characters，I stopped him and asked whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well．
    Why do we think that new choices still offer us anything new？Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine．
67．The shop assistant insisted that the writer shouldB．
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
68．What does the writer mean by"it would be worth half what I paid for it"（Paragraph2）？C
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．
D．The camera would soon fall in value．
69．The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because heC．
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
70．It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's opinionD．
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 money than quality．

19．Five years ago，David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day．"I was a clothes addict．"he jokes．"I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled．"Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and a sports shirt-to the office．He hardly ever wears a necktie．"I am working harder than ever．"David says，"and I need to feel comfortable．"
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work．In the United States，the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual．In the early 1990s，many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday （but only on Friday）．This became known as"dress-down Friday"or"casual Friday"．"What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing．"said business consultant Maisly Jones．
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes？One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code．""A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work，"says the owner of a software company，"so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative（保守的）dress code．"Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes．In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company，85percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境，士气）．Only 4percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity．Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money．"Suits are expensive，if you have to wear one every day，"one person said．"For the same amount of money，you can buy a lot more casual clothes．"

A．he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
