  There are stock markets (股票市场) in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or a company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or a company.

  Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks and try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.

  Of course, investing(投资) money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or a company does a good job, the stock may still go down.

  No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling(赌博). All are eager to make money by“gambling” in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to“gamble”.Indeed, the stock market is an attractive part of the business world.

1.If you are an investor, you ________ in the stock market.

[  ]

A.can always make money

C.People buy or sell stocks in the hope of making money

  In 1901, H.G.Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon.When the explorers (探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities.They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met.In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise.“Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?”

  H.G.Wells could only imagine travel to the moon.In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon.People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon.However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one.A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it

  Underground systems are already in place.Many cities have underground car parks.In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas.The “Chunnel”, a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.

  But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities.” The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on.A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.

  Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space.The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness.H.G.Wells' “moon people” would agree.Would you?

1.The explorers in H.G.Wells' story were surprised to find that the “moon people”________.

[  ]

A.knew so much about the earth
