     Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.
     The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at
work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said,
"Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention."
     "People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention," Coker said on the university's website.
"Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a
higher total Internet attention for a day's work, and as a result, increases productivity (生产效率)," he
said.
     According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the
Interne t for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are
searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching
videos. "Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching videos, using
social networking sites or shopping online," said Coker. "That's not always a good idea."
     However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or
were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. "Those who spend too much
time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without." he said.
1. What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show?
A. People who surf the Internet are good employees.
B. Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.
C. Surfing the Internet for fun at times during office hours increases productivity.
D. The Internet is becoming more and more important in people's life.
2. According to Paragraph 3, Brent Coker would most probably agree that ______.
A. the longer a person's mind rests, the better attention he will have
B. surfing the Internet is the best way to increase productivity
C. workers should have a long break during office hours
D. workers should let their minds rest now and then
3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities?
A. Watching videos.
B. Reading online news.
C. Reading online novels.
D. Playing online games.
4. The underlined word "block" in Paragraph 4 means "______".
A. stop
B. organize
C. protect
D. separate
5. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.
B. Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.
C. Most people don't surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.
D. People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.

  It was a day to celebrate if your family had put most of its money in a bank.You will get more money back because of a recent rise in interest rates(利率).

  On October 29, for the first time in nine years, the People’s Bank of China(PBOC)raised interest rates.The rate for one-year renminbi deposits(存款)was increased from 1.98 per cent to 2.25 per cent.And the rate for one-year renminbi loans(代款)went up from 5.31 per cent to 5.58 per cent.Longer term rates saw higher increases.

  So what are interest rates?Banks offer some money to encourage people to keep their savings in a savings account(储蓄帐户),and ask more money in return if you borrow money from them.The percentages of the extra money are the interest rates.

If your parents have borrowed money from banks to pay for houses or cars, the interest rates rise was not good news.

  An increase in the interest rates on a loan means the borrower will need to repay more to the bank.For example, a person who borrowed, 10,000 yuan from the bank had to return 10,531 yuan before the interest rise.But after the interest rates are increased, he has to pay extra 27 yuan per year.

  The rise came following a great demand for the cooling of the over-heating Chinese economy.For several years, pushed by a huge investment and construction projects, the country has had the fastest economic growth in the world.But this can be damaging just as it is when a person grows too fast and can no longer fit their clothes.It is hoped that with a higher interest rate people will act more cautiously and take less risks when borrowing money.

  “The rate rise will help the economy to cool down.It will reduce investment in unnecessary industrial and construction projects.”said Su Ning, deputy governor(副行长)of the PBOC.

(1)

If we deposit 1000 RMB in the bank for one year, how much can we get after October 29?

(The tax rate on interest rates is 20%.)

[  ]

A.

21.6.

B.

13.68.

C.

15.84.

D.

18.

(2)

What is the purpose of the rise in the interest rates?

[  ]

A.

To attract greater investment.

B.

To make people earn more money.

C.

To carry out construction projects.

D.

To cool down the over-heating Chinese economy.

(3)

By saying “this can be damaging just as it is when a person grows too fast and can no longer fit their clothes” the writer ________.

[  ]

A.

warns that if the economy grows too rapidly, it will cause trouble

B.

warns us that industry will suffer a loss

C.

advises us to buy bigger clothes when we are young

D.

advises us not to grow too fast

(4)

Which of the following is NOT a result of the increase in the interest rates on a loan?

[  ]

A.

People will make wiser investments.

B.

People will need to repay more to the bank.

C.

People will borrow more money to invest in their business.

D.

People will be careful of taking money from banks to expand their business.
