【原文】

How do you decide what you are going to buy in a supermarket? Do you look in the refrigerator and make a list? Do you think about what you want to cook and then buy the food you need? Even if you do these things, the supermarket makes some of the decisions for you. There are some people who have studied how to make people buy more food in a supermarket. They do all kinds of things that you do not even notice. The food that everybody must buy, like bread, milk and vegetables, is spread all over the store. You have to walk to find these things. The expensive food is in packages with brightly colored pictures. It is put at eye level, and so when you see it you want to buy it. The things that you have to buy anyway are usually put on a higher or lower shelf. However, candy and other things children like are on lower shelves.Studies show that after a person has been in a supermarket for 30 minutes, she or he spends 50 cents every minute. For example, if someone stays40 minutes, the supermarket has 5 dollars more. So the store has a comfortable temperature in summer and in winter, and it plays soft music. It is a pleasant place for people to stay and spend more money. So be careful in the supermarket. You may go home with a bag of food you were not planning to buy. The supermarket, not you, decides you should buy it.

We’ve all heard stories of school dropouts who have made their fortune, but are they the norm(典型)or an exception to the rule? Do they tend to be university 1(graduate) or self-made businessmen?

Thanks to a recent 2(analyse) of people in Forbes’ top 100 billionaires list, we can now find out 3 the world’s richest people have in common.

If you are deciding whether or not to go to university, it may help you 4(know) that 76% of the richest people in the world have a degree. Don’t lose hope if you aren’t very academic though. It’s worth 5(note) that many of those on the list did not pass all 6(they)exams with flying colours. Microsoft founder Bill Gates 7(drop) out of Harvard University after two years of study. And Chinese businessman Jack Ma failed his university entrance exams three times 8 going on to complete his degree.

Another 9(interest) trend is that the world’s high-fliers are much more likely to be married— only 12% of billionaires are unmarried. Finally, the percentage of billionaires 10 are bald(秃头的) is quite high—so don’t worry if you are losing your hair.

【题目】 Two hundred years ago, American students went to American schools. Like you, they studied math, spelling and geography. Unlike you, they also studied Greek (希腊语) and Latin (拉丁语). In fact, students spent more than half their time studying Greek and Latin.

The same was true for most students in Europe. Until the seventh century, all educated Europeans knew Latin. It did not matter if they lived in England, Italy, France or Spain. If they were educated, they knew Latin.

During the seventh century, educated Europeans began to study Greek as well as Latin. Greek and Latin had been the leading languages of the ancient Greeks and Romans. All educated Europeans were expected to know these languages.

To educated Europeans, the languages of the Greeks and the Romans were important. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans were also important. People knew that many of their own ideas had come from the Greeks and the Romans. To understand their own culture, they must understand its origin (起源). They knew that those beginnings lay in the classical (古典文学的) world.

Today we have so many things to study that few people have time to learn Greek and Latin. Few of you will study either language in school. Yet the ideas of the Greeks and the Romans are still important to us. These ideas still help to shape western culture today. To understand our own culture, we must understand the culture of the classical world.

1Two hundred years ago, in American schools _____.

A.there were many educated GreeksB.Greek and Latin were very popular

C.students paid little attention to mathD.students knew little about geography

2According to the text, Europeans thought _____.

A.the origin of their culture was unknown

B.the ideas of the Greeks were unacceptable

C.Greek was much more important than Latin

D.the Romans had a great influence on their culture

3Where does the author of the text probably come from?

A.Japan.B.Greece.C.America.D.China.

4In the last paragraph, the author suggests that _____.

A.it’s of great value to learn Greek and Latin

B.it’s quite difficult to learn Greek and Latin

C.the culture of the classical world is useless nowadays

D.Western culture is quite different from Greek and Roman cultures
