How to become a millionaire?

According to a recent 1 of people on Forbes Top 100 Billionaires List, we can now find out what the world’s mega rich in common.

听力二：

New Chinese computer apps that let people share bicycles are easing traffic and reducing pollution, but they are also creating problems.

Something good they bring to us:

The apps combine cell phone 6 and GPS tracking to help users find a ride. Although Beijing has had a government-run bike share program, many or its bike share stations are not placed in 7 places. Now it is easy to find a bike and to register for the program with a smartphone.

Something bad they bring to us:

However, there is a lot of 8 among bike share providers. Some providers are flooding the streets with bikes to be more visible. Sometimes there are so many bikes that they completely block the sidewalks. In Beijing’s southerndistrict of Daxing, officials have been trying to fix the problem by seizing 9 parked bicycles.

What do people do?

Some people are trying to fix the problem by themselves. These people are called bike hunters. Gao Xiaochao, a regular 10 , reports broken and stolen bikes. To him, bike hunting is like a game, a hobby, or a way to get some exercise.

James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully 11 the coins that lay on the bed. $24.52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! 12 on earth was he going to get the 13 of the money?

He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was 14 to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no 15 asking his parents, for he knew they had no money to 16 .

There was only one way to get money, and that was to 17 it. He would have to find a job. 18 who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had 19 on most things.

“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr. Clay. “My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”

That was the 20 of James’s odd-job (零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He was amazed by the 21 of jobs that people found for him to do. He took dogs and babies for walks, cleared out cupboards, and mended books. He lost count of the 22 of cars he washed and windows he cleaned, but the 23 increased and he knew that he would soon have 24 for the bicycle he longed for.

The day 25 came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He 26 no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode 27 home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard 28 for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more 29 he had bought it with his own money. He had 30 what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.

Dear Hamilton,

We are fortunate that in such a large, high-pressure office we all get along so well. You are one of the people who keep the social temperature at such a comfortable setting. I don’t know anyone in the office who is better liked than you.

You can perhaps help with this. The collection of contributions towards gifts for employees’ personal-life events is becoming a little troubling. Certainly, the group sending of a gift is reasonable now and then. In the past month, however, there have been collections for two baby shower gifts, one wedding shower gift, two wedding gifts, one funeral (葬礼) remembrance, four birthday gifts, and three graduation gifts.

It’s not only the collected-from who are growing uncomfortable (and poor), but the collected-for feel uneasy receiving gifts from people who don’t know them outside the office, who wouldn’t even recognize their graduating children, their marrying daughters and sons, or their dead relatives.

This is basically a kind gesture (and one that people think well of you for), but the practice seems to have become too wide-ranging and feels improper in today’s office setting.

Thank you for understanding.

31. The underlined word “contributions” probably means __________.

A. money B. suggestions C. reports D. understanding

32. Hamilton is expected to __________.

A. show more kindness.

B. discontinue the present practice

C. quit being the organizer for gift giving

D. know more about co-workers’ families

33. This is basically a letter of __________.

A. apology B. sympathy C. appreciation D. dissatisfaction

B

Forget Cyclists, Pedestrians are Real Danger

We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers.

■ Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders.

People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.

The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.

—Michael Horan

■ I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.

I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me.

The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.

The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!

The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的) jacket and lights at night and in the morning they should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.

—Carol Harvey

■ Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.

I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.

Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?

It’s about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim.

—JML

Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.

34. Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that __________.

A. drivers should be polite to cyclists

B. road accidents can actually be avoided

C. some pedestrians are a threat to road safety

D. walking while using phones hurts one’s eyes

35. Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should __________.

A. be provided with enough roads

B. be asked to ride on their own lanes

C. be made to pay less tax for cycling

D. be fined for laughing at policemen

36. What is a complaint of JML?

A. Very few drivers are insured.

B. Cyclists: ride fast on pavements.

C. Pedestrians go through red traffic lights.

D. Horse riders disrespect other road users.

37. The underlined word “they” in the third letter refers to __________.

A. accidents B. vehicles C. pedestrians D. cyclists

38. The three letters present viewpoints on __________.

A. real source of road danger

B. ways to improve road facilities

C. measures to punish road offences

D. increased awareness of road rules

C

Photographs are everywhere. They decorate the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record the beauties of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.

Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism. At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single picture. At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.

Jacob Riis was among the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed that poverty caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point. A few years later, the photos of small children working in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hine’s pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children.

Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an actual record. It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.

As historical and artistic documents, photos can become more important over time. Today photojournalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish them in books and on the Internet.

39. The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to __________.

A. beauties B. photos C. goods D. events

40. The photos of the small children by Hine show us that photos __________.

A. are also works of art B. are popular ways of reporting news

C. often shock the public D. can serve as a force for social change

41. What can we learn from the passage?

A. News with pictures is encouraging.

B. Photos help people improve.

C. News photos mean history in a sense.

D. People prefer reading news with pictures.

42. The text is mainly about __________.

A. telling the story through pictures B. decorating the walls of homes

C. publishing historical papers D. expressing feeling through pictures

D

Forget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Television is still the most influential medium around. Indeed, for many of the poorest regions of the world, it remains the next big thing—finally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better.

Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U.S., where there are more TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005, after the fall of the Taliban, which had outlawed TV, 1 in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013—pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.

Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands’ approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child health care. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant (有意义的) improvement in their reading skills.

Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness. However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide.

43. The underlined word “outlawed” in paragraph 2 probably means “__________”.

A. allowed B. banned C. offered D. refused

44. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Americans used to get access to the Internet easily.

B. The world’s TV sets will total 150million by 2013.

C. 45% of families in the developing countries had a TV in 2005.

D. Over two thirds of families in the world will have a TV by 2013.

45. The author intends to __________.

A. stress the advantages of TV to people’s lives

B. persuade women to become more independent

C. encourage people to improve their reading skills

D. introduce the readers some websites such as Google

46. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. TV Will Rule the World B. TV Will Disturb the World

C. TV Will Better the World D. TV Will Remain in the World

E

A study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it comes to money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWest that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, are particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts than any before.

University tuition fees(学费) are currently capped at ￡3,000 annually, but this will bereviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.

In the research, the teenagers were presented with the terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average £31,000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just £17,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than £10,000. Average debts for graduates are £12,363.

Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said, “The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they are to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively.”

Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweather, aged 15, from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.

47. Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?

A. Students understand personal finances differently.

B. University tuition fees in England have been rising.

C. Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.

D. The students’ payback ability has become a major issue.

48. The phrase “to raise the ceiling” in paragraph 2 probably means “__________”.

A. to raise the student loans

B. to improve the school facilities

C. to increase the upper limit of the tuition

D. to lift the school building roofs

49. According to Stephen Moir, students __________.

A. are too young to be exposed to financial issues

B. should learn to manage their finances well

C. should maintain a positive attitude when facing loans

D. benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance

50. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Many British teenagers do not know money matters well.

B. Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.

C. Financial planning is a required course at college.

D. Young people should become responsible adults.
