Reading Comprehension

　　The central problem of economics is to satisfy the people's and nation's wants．

　　The problem we faced with is that our resources, here identified as money are 　　1　　．The only way we can solve the problem is to make choices．After looking at our resources, we must examine our list of 　　2　　 and identify the things we need immediately, those we can postpone, and 　　3　　 we cannot afford．As individuals, we face the central problem involved in economics－deciding how to allocate(分配)our limited resources to provide 　　4　　 with greatest satisfaction of our wants．

　　Nations face the same problem．As a country's population 　　5　　, the need for more goods and services grows correspondingly．Resources necessary to production may increase, but there are 　　6　　 enough resources to satisfy the total desires of a nation．Whether the budget meeting is taking place in the family living room, in the conference room of the corporation 　　7　　 of directors, or in the chamber of the House of Representatives in Washington, the basic problem still exists．We need to find 　　8　　 of allocating limited resources in order to satisfy unlimited wants．

　　A short time ago, economists divided goods into two categories, free and economic．The former, like air and water, were in 　　9　　 abundance(丰富)that economists had no concern for them．After all, economics is the 　　10　　 of scarcity and what to do about it．Today many of these“free goods”are 　　11　　 very expensive to use．Population has made clean air and water expensive for producers extra cost, and 　　12　　 taxpayers who pay for the government's involvement in cleaning the environment．

　　In the 1990s, almost all goods are 　　13　　．Only by effort and money 　　14　　 obtained in the from people wish．

　　Meeting needs of people and the demands from resource available 　　15　　 the basic activity of production．In trying to meet unlimited wants from limited economic goods, production leads to new problems in economics．

The Basics of Math－Made Clear

　　Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas．These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数)and beyond．

　　The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic．They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots．In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically．

　　Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students．The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening．They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing－and completely understandable－field of study．

　　By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math．They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性)of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined．In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges．

　　Professor H．Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious．From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary．

　　With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr．Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College．His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers．

　　A senior United Nations Children’s Fund(UNICEF) official on May 29 praised China for its remarkable achievements in children’s welfare(福利).

A. H. M. Farook, UNICEF’s operations area officer for China and Mongolia said that China “can be very satisfied to tell the whole world what can be done with limited resources to help its children to grow healthily and happily.”

　　China’s child population makes up one-fifth of the world’s total. “The reason behind the tremendous(巨大的) achievement is China’s long tradition of caring for children both at home and in society,” he said.

　　“What’s more is that Chinese people have always given special attention to children who are in special need.” The UN official made the remarks when addressing a group of 50 children and staff from the Beijing Children’s Welfare Home at the Shangri-la Hotel, Beijing.

　　The hotel invited the orphans to share snacks(小吃), sing, dance and play games at a park inside the hotel for a “Share the Sunshine” party, as a prelude(前奏) to celebrations to mark the Children’s Day.

　　The Beijing children’s Welfare Home, set up soon after New China was founded in 1949, has at present more than 400 children.

　　A leading official of the welfare institution said that the children live a happy life and that the agency(机构) spends 400—500 yuan a month for an average orphan. An average Chinese workers earned 440 yuan a month during the first quarter this year.

　　Gu Xiaojin, deputy secretary-general of the China Youth Development Foundation(CYDF), said people from all walks of life have contributed to the welfare of the Chinese children.

　　She said that CYDF set up the Project Hope in 1989, which calls on people across the country to donate money to help poor children to continue their schooling.

　　By the end of last year, she said, CYDF had collected nearly 700 million yuan in donations, which has helped the establishment(建立) of 2, 074 Hope primary schools and enabled more than 1. 25 million dropouts to return to school classrooms.

　　Three “Hope Stars” also attended the party. They were model teenagers chosen among students who are economically supported by the Project Hope to further their nine-year compulsory(义务) studies in the poverty-stricken regions. They will be torchbearers(火炬接力者) for the Chinese Team for the up coming Atlanta Olympic Games this year.

　　American and British people both speak English of course．But sometimes it does not seem like the same language．In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English．

　　First of all, they sound very different．Often, Americans don’t say each word separately．They say several words together．Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know”．Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful in their speech．They usually say all the words and keep them separate．

　　Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English．Words sometimes have different meanings too．Some American words are never used in England．The same thing is true of some British words in America．For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different．Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries．

　　Many expressions are also different in the two countries．In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”．In America, you “give them a call”．When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later．”

　　There’re also some differences in grammar．For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question．They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb．They say “Have you a storybook?”

　　All these differences can be confusing if you are learning English．But most languages are like this．Languages change over time．When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways．This is what has happened to English．It can also happen to other languages, such as French．Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France．

B．	one by one
C．	in common
D．	in different ways

(3)

What does the underlined sentence “The same thing is true of some British words in America．” mean?
[　　]
A．	The words of American and British English are the same．
B．	The spelling of American and British English are the same．
C．	Although they don’t sound the same，the words are the same．
D．	Some British English words are not used in American English．

(4)

How many ways are used to talk about the differences between American and British English?
[　　]
A．	One．
B．	Two．
C．	Three．
D．	Four．

(5)

Why has English changed over time?
[　　]

B．	Different people have different living habits．
