3、“I find myself glancing at my watch to see how long I’ve been standing in line,” she said. “Everywhere I go, I notice if the dumpster(垃圾罐)gates are open or if there’s trash in the parking lot.” Ms. Clark is a “mystery shopper”, one of thousands of contract workers that companies hire to pretend as regular customers in order to judge customer service, cleanliness and whether a store is selling a product that meets company specifications (规格).
Mystery shoppers can be found or, rather, not found, everywhere from restaurants and automotive shops to convenience stores and department stores. They play a constant cat-and-mouse game with store and restaurant employees and managers. However it’s not all fun and games. Once in the field, a mystery shopper will typically visit several stores or restaurants per hour, taking mental notes while inside, then jotting down physical notes after they leave.
It’s important for mystery shoppers to be as exact as possible, because the client companies are looking for data they can use to improve their service. The questionnaire won’t say, “Does the trash can need to be emptied?” What an educated shopper will say is, “The trash can to the left of the front door was overflowing with 10 pieces of trash on the ground.” Companies don’t need opinion but facts.
Nowadays mystery shoppers are armed with a number of high-tech devices, such as a digital scale and a digital thermometer, as well as a handheld PC for recording the entire experience. It’s a challenging job but a rewarding one. Mystery shoppers can be full time or part time, but the full-time workers tend to stick to standard mystery shopping while part-timers often choose the less complex reward-based programs. In those , the shoppers stay disguised(装扮的) only until the “shop” is finished, and then reveal (透漏) themselves to the store management and award prizes to employees who provided excellent service.
To be a mystery shopper, it’s important to be a good observer, but sometimes it’s important to have the right profile(外表), too. Companies often hire shoppers from particular backgrounds to better blend in with clients’ regular customers. If a secret shopper will be sent in, for example, to do a high-end automotive shop, the candidate must have a particular profile that meets a high-end, luxury car-type buyer profile. “It’s a challenge to perform your shop without being discovered,” Ms. Clark said, “because most of the people that we work for are very aware of the mystery shopping program.”

26、Forget Miami, Los Angeles and New York. The next big Latin music explosion is on its way in secondary markets across the United States, and the numbers are there to back it up. Among all genres(种类),Latin music was the only one registering growth in 2005. From tiny Vero Beach in northern Florida to Des Moines, Iowa, in the heart of the Midwest, from Charlotte, N. C.to Salt Lake City, Latin music sales are skyrocketing.
Wilson says there are two major reasons for the increase. One is simply the Hispanic(说西班牙语国家的) population's increase in specific areas, which encourages stores to carry Latin product for the first time. Second, and perhaps more important, is the fact that major companies—whether dealing in music or not—are addressing the Latin consumer at a corporate (公司的) level, creating Latin departments and hiring Latin ad agencies. One of Handleman's suburban Detroit stores, for example, has expanded its Latin section four times in the last two years. Cities like Milwaukee and Des Moines are now stocking Latin product.
Besides, it also results from economic development. It goes something like this: More often than not, a city or country with a seeming important Hispanic population will suddenly expand its construction or offer affordable housing to those working in larger, neighboring cities. This attracts lower-income workers, many of whom are Latin. Small shops and groceries begin to stock a small selection of music.When the Latin population numbers reach a critical mass, the local mass merchant, if there is one, begins stocking the product. Sooner or later, a local radio station follows; first AM, then FM. Sometimes it's a cable TV show or a small TV station.
Of course, there are other driving forces that should not be forgotten, for example, regional Mexican music.
1.The passage mainly tells readers _____________.
A.that more and more Americans like Latin music
B.what makes Latin music develop fast in American market
C.why Latin music becomes Americans' favorite music
D.that Latin music is bringing in more benefits for Americans
2.The underlined word "skyrocketing" in the first paragraph means________.
A.changing very quickly B.disappearing slowly
C.recovering slowly D.increasing very quickly
3.According to the third paragraph, which shows the right relations among the following things?
①economic development ②more Latin workers
③shops' stock of Latin music ④local radio station
⑤small TV station ⑥the development of Latin music
4.Suppose that passage doesn't finish, which of the following may be discussed next?
A.The variety of Latin music in America.
B.The economic development in Hispanic area.
C.The historic development of Mexican music.
D.The driving forces of regional Mexican music

23、LONDON—The tiny, distant and frozen planet Pluto, for 30 years believed to have just one moon, has suddenly been found to have two more satellites.
Only discovered in 1930 because of its vast distance from Earth, Pluto has remained a largely mysterious object ever since.
Some three billion miles from the Sun, Pluto, a dwarf planet, remains to be visited by a spacecraft.
Its first known satellite is called Charon. With a diameter of 1,200 km, it is half that of Pluto—unusually large for a moon in relation to its primary.
But now, using images from the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists from Johns Hopkins University, Southwest Research Institute and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say they have found two more tiny orbiting satellites, P1 and P2.
Both are traveling outside the orbit of Charon and are tiny by comparison, the scientists wrote in the journal Nature.
P1, the more distant of the two from Pluto, has a diameter of between 60 and 165 km while P2 is 20 percent smaller.
"Although definitive orbits cannot be obtained, both new satellites appear to be moving in circular orbits in the same orbital plane as Charon with orbital periods of about 38 days for P1 and 25 days for P2," they wrote.
The discovery of the two new members of Pluto's family makes it the only object in the Kuiper belt—a vast region of rock and ice beyond Neptune which contains debris from the formation of the solar system—known to have multiple satellites, the scientists said.
1. It is implied in the passage that______.
A. Charon was not discovered until the late 1960s
B. Charon is the largest satellite in the solar system
C. all the inner planets are better observed than Pluto
D. Pluto may have some more moons to be discovered
2. The underlined word "primary" in Paragraph 4 refers to______.
A. size B. shape C. planet D. Earth
3. Which of the following show the possible orbits and positions of Pluto's satellites?
A B C D
4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Pluto: furthest in the solar system.
B. Pluto: two additional moons found.
C. Pluto: tiny, distant and frozen planet.
D. Pluto: two satellites formed in 30 years.
