• 2．Cancer is feared by everyone．And there is more and more fear about cancer．Not the disease itself - there is no such thing as a high incidence rates of cancer．Except for lung cancer，mostly caused by cigarette smoking，the incidence rates are not on the rise．However，some kinds of cancer are decreasing．But the fear of cancer is catching，and the country stands at risk of an anxiety．The earth itself is coming to seem like a huge carcinogen（致癌物）．The ordinary，more or less，scientific statement that something between 80 and 90 percent of all cancers are due to things in the environment is taken to mean that none of us will be safe until the whole environment is "cleaned up．" This is not at all the meaning．
     The 80-percent calculation is based on the unthinkable differences in the incidence of cancer in various societies around the world - for example，the high incidence of liver cancer in Africa and the Far East，stomach cancer in Japan，breast cancer in Western Europe and North America，and the relatively low figures for breast cancer in Japan and parts of Africa and for liver cancer in America．These data show there may be specific environmental influences，but largely based on personal life-style，which determines the incidence of various forms of cancer in different communities - that is all the data suggest．The overall incidence of cancer，counting up all the cases，is probable roughly the same everywhere．
  
  （1）According to the passage，the incidence of cancer is generally believed

  ．
  A．to be based on inactive life style
  B．to be due to anxiety
  C．to result from environmental influences
  D．to be caused by heavy smoking
  （2）It can be inferred from the passage that the writer's opinion about the relationship between cancer and environment is

  ．
  A．positive
  B．negative
  C．neutral
  D．a(chǎn)pproving
  （3）According to the passage，the writer seems to feel that

  ．
  A．the risk of catching cancer is on the rise
  B．the whole earth is coming to seem like a huge carcinogen
  C．the risk of catching cancer isn't so great as people think
  D．cancer can be cured if the environment is cleaned up
  （4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？

  
  A．Cancer and Environment
  B．The Fear Caused by Cancers
  C．Data on Cancer Incidence
  D．Cancer and its Investigation

• 3．High-quality customer service is preached（宣揚(yáng)）by many，but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done．
     Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store，but instead will warn their friends，relatives，co-workers，strangers and anyone who will listen．Store managers are often the last to hear complaints． "Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers，" said Paula Courtney，President of the Verde group． "The store loses the customer，but the shopper must also find a replacement．"
     The most common complaints include filled parking lots，cluttered（塞滿了的）shelves，overloaded racks，out-of-stock items，long check-out lines，and rude sales people．
     During peak shopping hours，some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting local police to work as parking attendants to direct customers to empty parking spaces．Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store display，pre-stocking sales items，hiring speedy and experienced cashiers，and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions．Most importantly，sales people should be skillful and polite with angry customers．
     "Retailers who're enthusiastic and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who aren't so friendly．" said Professor Stephen Hoch． "Maybe something as a greeter at the store entrance would help．"
     Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer，instead of complaining to the rest of the world．Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong．
  
  （1）Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints？

  
  A．Most shoppers won't complain even if they have had unhappy experiences．
  B．Shoppers would rather tell their unhappy experiences to people around them．
  C．Few customers believe the service will be improved after their complaints．
  D．It is difficult for customers to have easy access to store managers．
  （2）What does Paula Courtney imply by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 2？

  
  A．New customers are sure to replace old ones．
  B．It is not likely the shopper can find the same products in other stores．
  C．The same products can be bought in other retail stores．
  D．Not complaining to the manager causes the shopper some trouble too．
  （3）What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers？

  
  A．Manners of the salespeople．
  B．Hiring of efficient employees．
  C．Huge supply of goods for sale．
  D．Design of the store display．
  （4）To achieve better shopping experiences，customers are advised to

  ．
  A．put pressure on stores to improve their service
  B．settle their disagreements with stores in a friendly way
  C．voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directly
  D．shop around and make comparisons between stores

• 4．You hear the comment all the time：the U．S．economy looks good by figures，but it doesn't feel good．Why doesn't ever-greater wealth promote ever-greater happiness？It is a question that dates at least to the appearance in 1958 of The Wealthy Society by John Kenneth Galbraith，who died recently at 97．
     The Wealthy Society is a modern classic because it helped describe a new moment in the human condition．For most of history， "hunger，sickness，and cold" threatened nearly everyone，Galbraith wrote． "Poverty was found everywhere in that world．Obviously it is not of ours．" After World War II，the fear of another Great Depression gave way to an economic growth．In the 1930s unemployment had averaged 18.2 percent；in the 1950s it was 4.5 percent．
      To Galbraith，materials had gone mad and would cause discontent．Through advertising，companies conditioned consumers to buy things they didn't really want or need．Because so much spending was artificial，it would be unsatisfying．Meanwhile，government spending that would make everyone better off was being cut down because people wrongly considered government only as "a necessary bad．"
      It's often said that only the rich are getting ahead；everyone else is standing still or falling behind．Well，there are many undeserving rich - overpaid chief managers，for instance．But over any meaningful period，most people's incomes are increasing．From 1995 to 2004，people feel "squeezed" because their rising incomes often don't satisfy their rising wants - for bigger homes，more health care，more education，and faster Internet connections．
      The other great disappointment is that it has not got rid of insecurity．People regard job stability as part of their standard of living．As company unemployment increased，that part has gradually become weaker．More workers fear they've become "the disposable American，" as Louis Uchitelle puts it in his book by the same name．
     Because so much previous suffering and social conflict resulted from poverty，the arrival of widespread wealth suggested utopian （烏托邦式的） possibilities．Up to a point，wealth succeeds．There is much less physical suffering than before．People are better off．Unfortunately，wealth also creates new complaints．
     Advanced societies need economic growth to satisfy the multiplying wants of their citizens．But the search for growth cause new anxieties and economic conflicts that disturb the social order．Wealth sets free the individual，promising that everyone can choose a unique way to self-accomplishment．But the promise is so unreasonable that it leads to many disappointments and sometimes inspires choices that have anti-social consequences，including family breakdown．Figures indicate that happiness has not risen with incomes．
      Should we be surprised？Not really．We've simply confirmed an old truth：the seeking of wealth does not always end with happiness．
  
  （1）The Wealthy Society is a book

  ．
  A．a(chǎn)bout poverty in the past
  B．written by Louis Uchitelle
  C．indicating that people are becoming worse off
  D．a(chǎn)bout why happiness does not rise with wealth
  （2）According to Galbraith，people feel discontented because

  ．
  A．materialism has run wild in modern society
  B．they are in fear of another Great Depression
  C．public spending hasn't been cut down as expected
  D．the government has proved to be necessary but ugly
  （3）What does Louis Uchitelle mean by "the disposable American" ？

  
  A．People with a stable job．
  B．Workers who no longer have secure jobs．
  C．Those who see job stability as part of their living standard．
  D．People who have a sense of security because of their rising incomes．

• 5．House Sitting In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting．It means that if owners of the house are going away，they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away．
     In Australia，many people travel．After people retire，they might buy a van and travel all over the country．（1）

  
     So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason，they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy．House sitters might have to care for pets．Also，quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning．（2）

  I feel it is a great way of seeing the country，because you go and stay in a new city，get to meet new people，and have time to go sightseeing in a new area．
     （3）

  There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel，and by replying to the advertisement，you can make arrangements to go and look after their home．
     There are some requirements to be a house sitter．You must be a trusted person，so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything．You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go，so you need lots of free time．（4）

  You need to be good with pets，able to care for cats and dogs，or other pets they may have．
     Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owner have a short holiday．Sometimes it is for much longer．We have had one house sit for six months，while the home owner travelled to Europe．
     （5）

  Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there．One of the important things to get are references from the home owners where you have stayed．A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well．You can show these letters to prospective house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job．
  
  A．I have done house sitting many times．
  B．Thousands of people do this all the time．
  C．It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries．
  D．Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job．
  E．You must take a little care over what your description says about you．
  F．This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas．
  G．You must have a good car，so you can travel to different parts of the country．
