If we dont need to buy so much,we dont need to work so much.We can take parttime jobs or reduce our working day from eight hours to six hours.Some people are leaving very well paid jobs to live a healthier life in the countryside or a more exciting life abroad.Parents can spend more time with their children and the unemployed are given more opportunities to work.

If we start to respect saving the earth more than spending money,we will become“conservers”(保护者).When we are conservers,we try to choose environmentally friendly products that last a long time.We may find growing our own vegetables or making our own clothes more rewarding than buying them.

Next time you go shopping,think about what you really need to buy.Don’t deprive (剥夺) yourself of things you like,but decide what you should buy before you go out,so that you wont be influenced by advertisements or promotions.If it is more expensive to buy goods that dont have much packaging and things that are more durable (耐用的),buy less.If you can to work less,decide which things you would like to make,do or grow yourself.Even though you have less money,your life will become richer.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

B

When I was 13,my bedroom walls were covered with posters of the Monkees and the Beatles.I wrote fan letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections.I begged my parents to attend every rock concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities(名人);my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favorite movie stars and pop singers.I drove my mother crazy!But after a few years,my obsession(迷恋) with stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence to socialize with “real” boys.

In the 35 years since I was a teenager,celebrity worship(崇拜) has increased among teens due to the explosion of television celebrity gossip shows,and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet.It's no wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs often are filled with entertainment stories and the lives of celebrities.

Celebrity worship syndrome(综合征) is now considered a personality disorder.While it is normal for teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars,parents should try to monitor everything their child finds interesting.Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little interest in school or withdrawing from the family.When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment,this is considered normal celebrity worship.However,when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star,this may be the time for concern.Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low selfconfidence and depression.Teens who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.

【1】The first paragraph is intended to tell us ________.

A.it's normal for a teen to have celebrity worship

B.celebrity worship can cause serious problems

D.celebrity worship only exists among teens

【2】We learn from the second paragraph that ________.

A.teens today are not so obsessed with celebrities

C.the media greatly contributes to celebrity worship today

D.celebrities expose their lives too much

【3】Parents should become concerned when their children ________.

A.talk a lot about celebrities with others

B.put up celebrity posters on their bedroom walls

C.ask to go to their favorite star's concert

D.desire a close personal relationship with their favorite star

【4】The last paragraph implies that ________.

A.parents should not care too much about a child's celebrity worship

B.celebrity worship syndrome can be a serious problem if left overlooked

C.children can normally get out of celebrity worship when they are older

D.children with celebrity worship usually have a high opinion of themselves

【5】What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?

A.The harm of celebrity worship syndrome.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

If cars had wings,they could fly and that just might happen,beginning in 2011.The company Terrafugia,based in Woburn,Massachusetts,says it plans to deliver its carplane,the Transition,to customers by the end of 2011.

“It's the next ‘wow’ vehicle,” said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari,but as we say,Ferraris don't fly.”

The carplane has wings that unfold for flying-a process the company says takes one minute-and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.

The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies,although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations,and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.

The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports:You drive the car to the airport and then you're good to go. When you land,you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don't have to store it at an airport-you park it in the garage at home.

The carplane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds,including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowin pilots to drive under the bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界的) conditions.

The Transition's price tag:$194,000.But there may be additional charges for options like a radio,a transponder or a GPS. Another option is a fullplane parachute.

“If you get into a very awful situation,it is the necessary safety option,” Gersh said.

So far,the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “We're working very closely with them,but there are still some remaining steps,” Brown said.

【1】We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ________.

A.carplanes will be popular in 2011

B.people might drive a carplane in 2011

C.both the Transition and Ferrari can take off and land

D.Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts

【2】It takes the carplane one minute to ________.

A.fold and unfold its wings

B.unfold wings for flying

C.land in the airport

D.meet flying safety regulations

【3】According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?

A.The carplane needs a runway to take off and land.

B.To meet aircraft regulations,the company has been working with FAA.

C.The carplane may fly as high as normal planes.

D.People can park the carplane in the garage at their home.

【4】The underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refers to ________.

A.the radio

B.the transponder

C.the GPS

D.the fullplane parachute

【5】What's the best title for the passage?

A.Cars with wings may be just around the corner

B.Which to choose:a Ferrari or a carplane?

C.A more convenient and cheaper way to fly

D.Cars with wings can fly as fast as planes
