3.Passage ThreeAs recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise anddangerous way to pay for what they bought.Some even thought that owing money to a store or acredit company was something to be ashamed of.Good citizens,they believed,always bought what they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.Today,however,all that has changed.Credit,as some observers have noted,has become away of life in the United States.More and more Americans now are depending on those small piecesof plastic,credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions,record players or furniture.Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner,a hotel room or an airline trip.And there are some situations in which Americans must have credit cards.If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the car rental company the number of their credit card.That number is considered a guarantee that they will returnthe car and pay for using it.Credit cards offer two major services to Americans.First of all,they are easier and safer tocarry than large amounts of money.Second,they permit people to borrow,to have the immediate pleasure of owning something,even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time.With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them.And when the time does come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice.They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe.44.What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadays according to the passage?

7.Laura and Anthony Valois are a young New York couple who have been trying in vain to have their first child.Several years ago.Belinda Ramlrez read an Internet adoption listing and quickly contacted them from her home in Texas,telling them they could adopt her unborn baby. Excited, Laura and Anthony spent weeks communicating with Ramirez and got regular updates on her preg –nancy.Before long, Ramirez began to ask them for financial support. That took the Valoises by surprise.But were willing to do a lot to ensure a smooth birth. They sent more than $1,000 to Ramirez over several months.Laura and Anthony finally drove to Texas so they could be on hand for the birth. But once they arrived,Ramirez avoided their daily phone calls. After there weeks, the couple drove back to New York-empty-handed and emotionally crushed.They later learned Ramirez had been cheating about ten other people for such things as Wal-mart gift cards in ststes ranging from California to Ohio to Florida. From start to finish,it was a scam .In fact,Ramirez was never even pregnant. She was sentenced to 24 months in prison as she deserved.“When you find out you can’t have children, it’s just depressing.” Laura Valois told a Texas Tv station.“But when somebody intentionally does this to you,it’s 15 times worse.”The underlined word “scam” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.

8.Passage Two At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented, Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room--a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashion of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be treated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stabililty and feasibility?That's for you to decide. What is referred to as the "general appearance" in this passage is

9.There here have been great changes in the lives of womanDuring the twentieth century thewas an unusual shortening of the time of g woman's.lifespentin caring for children.A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, andwould be likely to have seven or eight children.of whom four or five lived till they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen.the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years.(during whichcustom,chance and health made it unusual or her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer children.Usuallya woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children,her work is lightened by household appliances(家用电器）and convenience foods.This important change in women's way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position.Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job.However,when they married,they usually left,work at once and never returned to it..Today the school-leaving age is six-teen,many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Very many more afterwards,return to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to anew relationship in marriage,with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the dutiesand satisfaction of family life,and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home,according to the abilities and interest of each them.Weare told that in an average family.about 1990（）

12.Sometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government' s efforts to improve schools:newstandards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and joblosses. They frighten the school employees, not to mention the students. Instead of making peopleunable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on schoolreform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a morehumane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk andSchneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key tosuccessful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,todiscuss with openness and honesty what is and isn' t working,to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn' t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adultsin school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直). The challeage isthat our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effortteachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left af~the last belland those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are uncoasci or unspoken, itbecomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person' s behavior. As we allImam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal tamlparticular decision based on his career advancement rather than hat" s best for the studeata. don'tfeel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the windowand our relationships suffer.What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a person'sbehavior?

13.The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday．Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is covering small island nations and threatening to destroy the low-lying, densely-populated low regions around the globe. 　　The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences rising oceans．It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), according to the authors. 　　Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice．Both processes are caused by global warming．The ice sheet that sits atop Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven meters, which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai. 　　Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say．But up to now, there has been a puzzling gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans. 　　The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reunite the models with observed data．Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 meters from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC.
