    Quite a few employees’ payments are cut down and barely cover their household ________ due to the serious economic crisis.

     A. bills    B. expenses     C. prices    D. charges

    B


    解析:

    expense 意为“（时间、精力、金钱等的）消耗,花销,费用”。很多雇员收入下降不够维持生活的费用”。故选B项。bill 意为“账单，清单”。price 意为“价格,价钱，市价，代价，价值”。charge 意为“费用，捐税，代价，记账”，作“费用”解时指卖方开出的价钱。

    It was during a weekend, Mum gave me two tickets for a film and told me she was too busy with the endless housework to go with me．She told me to keep the money if I could sell the extra ticket．I was very happy, of course．At that time, a ticket only cost 20 fen．But to me, a little girl of 12, 20 fen seemed quite a lot．I reached the cinema in a great hurry．Holding the ticket in my hand, I began to look for buyer．A handsome young man noticed me and the ticket in my hand．He came towards me with a big smile．“You've got an extra ticket?” “Yes, ” I nodded．“That's great．Say, how much?” “Twenty fen．” “Oh, ” he thought for a while and then took out a ten-yuan note from his wallet．“I'm very sorry, but I've only got this note．” Seeing I was confused(迷惑), he added, “Then, how about waiting for a while? I'll give you the money after I have changed it in the cinema's store．”Without much thinking, I agreed．Then we went to the cinema together．He walked fast．I could hardly keep up with him．By and by, he left me farther and farther behind．Soon he disappeared in the crowd．I stood there without knowing what to do．Suddenly I seemed to realize the handsome young fellow had cheated(欺骗)me．He had saved twenty fe, but lost his honor．It seemed to be a funny or even ridiculous(可笑的)experience．But it did cast a dark shadow on(投下……阴影)my young mind．

    阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的词数要求）

    Using hidden cameras and cheap bicycles as bait（诱饵），an Argentine publicist Mariano Pasik，set out to monitor crime in different neighborhoods of Buenos Aires，the capital of the country．He thinks the longer it takes for the bike to be stolen the safer the area．

    Pasik speeds up the videos，sets them to music and puts them on a website．He hopes other videographers will join his non-profit “Bicycle Test” project and create a worldwide insecurity index．

    Pasik，who runs his own publicity firm Liebre Amotinada Ideas，said the project is part art，part reality show，part journalism and part fun．Pasik blurs the thieves' faces and was shocked at comments on his website where people have called for thieves to be sentenced to death．

    “What you see on the videos is that they aren’t professional thieves．They are people who run into temptation and decide to commit a crime，and they ________________ at the moment they take the bike．” he said．

    He is trying to show that the media concern about crime，in places where armed robberies are out of control，is the key of the problem．

    “The popular fantasy is that the bike will be stolen in seconds，and it isn’t quite like that，” Pasik said．

    In the latest video posted，a bike lasted an hour without being stolen in the Constitution neighborhood．But on the shopping street of Santa Fe，a bike lasted a few short minutes before it was stolen．

    On the videos，the thieves often seem more like opportunists than hardened criminals．

    “You see the person thinking and thinking，coming and going．It's more about an internal dilemma between good and bad，than about the bicycle itself，” Pasik said．

    So far in the Bicycle Test，no woman has stolen a bike．

    1．What is the purpose of the Bicycle Test? （Please answer within 10 words．）

    2．Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?

    It is generally imagined that people steal the bike in a very short time，which is not the case．

    3．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words．（Please answer within 6 words．）

    4．How do you think we should treat a person who steals the bike? （Please answer within 30 words．）

    5．Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 into Chinese．
