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。

  Britain's most popular lie has been disclosed, with one in four people admitting using “Sorry I had no signal" when returning a missed mobile phone call, a survey found.

  Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year.Almost one in six men admitted they were most likely to lie to their wife or girlfriend, on average at least twice a day.The most popular lie was saying you had no mobile phone signal, with one in four people admitting regularly using the little white lie.It usually came after they hit the “ignore" button when their mobile rang.

  Three quarters of people think women are better liars.The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying, compared to 58 of men.

  The second most common fib(无关紧要的谎言)is “I haven't got any cash on me” when asked for money by tramps(流浪者), beggars and Big Issue sellers.“Nothing's wrong – I'm fine” came third followed by “You look lovely” and “Nice to see you”.

  Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with “I didn't get your text” in 18th, “Our server was down” in 20th and “My battery died” in 26th place.

  Other lies to make the top ten included “I'll give you a ring”, “We're just good friends” and “We'll have to meet up soon”.“I'm on my way” and “No, your bum doesn't look big in that” completed the top ten.

  Men tell the most fibs, coming out with five every day compared to women who lie just three times.

  In many cases perhaps it is better to flatter with a fib than destroy someone with the truth, according to a spokesman for OnePoll, which carried out the research of 4, 300 adults.

(1)

really has no signal

can't get the text

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中,选出最佳选项。

  Charles Dickens is often thought of as one of the greatest British writers.February 7 marked the 200th anniversary of his birthday.Yet for many, his language is old-fashioned and his stories often improbable.Then why do so many people know and read Dickens today?

  One reason is the British government's insistence that every child study a Dickens novel at school.Alongside William Shakespeare, Dickens is on every English literature school reading list.

  His stories, though often long by today's standards, are great moral tales.They are filled with colorful characters.

  Earlier this month, a ceremony was held in Portsmouth, where Dickens was born.Prince Charles said at the ceremony:"…(Dickens)used his creative talents to campaign passionately for social justice…His characterization is as fresh today as on the day it was written."

  His books stand out from many other writers because of his insight(洞察力)into human nature.Dickens, like Shakespeare, tells us truths about human behaviour.They are as true in the 2Is1 century as they were to his readers in the 19th century.

  Readers have returned to Dickens' books again and again over the years to see what he has to say about their own times.

  No surprise then that it was Dickens whom Britons turned to during the economic crisis in the last couple of years.Dickens helped them make sense of a world that was rapidly falling apart.The BBC adapted one of his less well-known novels, Little Dorrit, into a popular television drama that introduced many Brits to the novel for the first time.A dark story about greed and money, it was the perfect illustration of bad times.

  As long as Dickens' novels have something to say to modern audiences, it seems likely that he will remain one of Britain's best-loved writers.

阅读下列材料,从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E。)中,选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。

首先,请阅读以下某理财论坛提供的几条省钱建议:

A

Use cash.Instead of paying things with credit cards, use cash for non-bill spending such as eating out, gas and groceries.Spending cash makes the spending more real, and there’s an added advantage of knowing when you’re out of cash.

B

Small weekly savings transfers.I got this idea from my friend, who automatically deducts(扣除)$20 a week from his check to savings.I decided that I could live with the deduction of $40/week without really feeling it-it’s a relatively small transfer that I barely notice, and I save about $2,000 a year!

C

Stay at home.Going out makes you spend money unnecessarily.You eat at restaurants, go to the mall, and stop at the gas station for snacks.It’s hard to avoid spending when you’re on the road.Instead, stay at home and find free entertainment.It’s also a great way to bond with your family.

D

Don’t get catalogs(商品宣传册).Their announcements of sales or cool new products make it very tempting(引诱人的)to buy something you don’t need.Instead, stop getting the catalogs, and you’ll spend less.

E

Keep a 30-day list.If you have an impulse(冲动)to buy something you don’t absolutely need, put it on a 30-day list.You can’t buy anything but necessities-everything else goes on the list.When the 30 days are up, you can buy it-but most likely, the strong urge to buy it will be gone, and you can evaluate it more calmly.

1.Mrs.Wang enjoys shopping very much because she is free all day long.Whenever she is wandering in the shops or stores, she will have a strong impulse and find it difficult for her to get back home with her hands empty.But it is quite often that she will find what she has bought is almost useless when she gets home.

2.Tony is a university student in New York, who is far away from his parents.He pays everything with his credit card.He finds it very cool for him to purchase with his credit card.However, he often finds his money has already run out in the middle of the month.

Cook at home. I know it seems more difficult than eating out. But it doesn’t have to be hard. Make home-made pizza with a ready-made crust, some sauce, cheese and veggies. Put some spices on something and throw it in the oven while you cook some brown rice. Not only is this much cheaper than eating out, but it’s healthier.

1. Mr. And Mrs. Brown are a newly-married couple who work in the same company. They don’t earn much in their work, but they have to spend a larger part of their income to pay for their rent and daily necessities. Furthermore, they seldom eat at home because neither of them cooks well. Therefore, they have to pay a lot more extra money for food.
