Raymond Schneider politely elbowed his way through crowds of customers as he made for the candy bins at Dylan’s Candy Bar in Manhattan. Since he was laid off in December, Mr. Schneider, a 33-year-old designer, says he has become a “gummy junkie,” buying a lot of sweets every time he shops for groceries.

“Sugar is comforting,” he said. “There’s nothing more stressful than growing financial insecurity everywhere.”

The recession (經(jīng)濟衰退) seems to have a sweet tooth. As unemployment has risen, Americans, particularly adults, have been consuming growing amounts of candy, say candy makers, store owners and industry experts.

Theories vary on exactly why. For many, sugar lifts spirits dragged low by the economy. For others, candy also provides a reminder of better times. And not insignificantly, it is relatively cheap.

At Candyality, a store in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, business has jumped by nearly 80 percent compared with this time last year, and the owner, Terese McDonald, said she was struggling to keep up with the demand for Bit-O-Honeys, Swedish Fish and Sour Balls.

“They put candy in their actual budget,” she said.

Many big candy makers are also reporting rising sales and surprising profits.

“Candy companies are relatively recession-proof,” said Peter Liebhold, chairman of the Smithsonian Institution’s work and industry division. “During the Great Depression, candy companies stayed in business.”

Raymond Schneider was set as an example to show ________.

A. many Americans were laid off in the recession

B. lots of Americans like candies

C. many Americans in the recession like sweets which are comforting

D. Americans are suffering much in the recession.

What does the underlined sentence “The recession seems to have a sweet tooth” mean?

A. Candy consuming rises while people are suffering bad effects of the recession.

B. The recession doesn’t have any bad effect on Americans.

C. Americans are optimistic even though they are out of employment.

D. Candy companies stayed in business during the Great Depression.

Which is NOT the reason why people in the recession like sugar?

A. It is relatively cheap.

B. It is comforting and can make a lot of profits.

C. It raises people’s spirits up.

D. It calls up people’s good memories.

The best title of the passage is ________.

A. Sugar Is Comforting

B. Candy Companies Stay In Business

C. Americans Have A Sweet Tooth

D. Sugar Sales Rise In The Recession

Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Their values—this can’t be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering(干涉) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.

Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance(機械維修，保養(yǎng)) as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results will be. And at what point should you stop to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by seeking the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You can’t ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, there’s hope. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m

When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.

1. What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. The values are different between the old and the young.  B. The moral problems raised by old people.

C. The personal freedom for the old.                    D. Old people’s viewpoint on life.

2. We can know from the first paragraph that________.

A. Very old people would like to live alone to have more personal freedom.

B. Very old people are able to keep their room clean.

C. Very old people like to live with their children.

D. Social services have nothing to do with very old people.

3. According to the author, which of the following is right?

A. The older a person, the more care he needs.  B. Too much emphasis has been put on old people’s values.

C. The human body can’t be compared to a car.  D. It is easy to provide spare parts for old people.

4.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “________”.

A. their money or their health          B. the conclusion you come to

C. your talk to the old people          D. whether age is happy or unpleasant

       In 1837, the historian Carlyle made the first recorded use of the word " queue" (排隊)．He

spoke of the French and their "habit of standing in a queue"．Forty years later Paris was the best

place to wait in line.

       However, queuing became popular in Britain too．The Second World War was the golden age

of queuing, and people joined any line in the hope that it was a queue for something to buy．This

was the source of many Second World War jokes:

       Shopkeeper to customer: Excuse me, miss, are you pregnant (懷孕)?

       Customer:             Well, I wasn't when I joined the queue.

       Today, according to research in America, we (in Britain) can spend up to 5 years of our lives

queuing - as compared to twelve months looking for things we have lost．But things may be changing.

       Many people no longer have the patience to stand in a queue．The law of the jungle (叢林) has begun to operate at bus stops, with people using their arms to push others out of the way.

       One way to make life easier is to introduce "queue management"．Customers at supermarket

cheese counters can now take a ticket with a number which appears on a screen when it is their

turn．And while they wait for their number, they can do a bit of shopping.

       In some booking offices there is also a system telling customers how long they may have to wait before they are served.

       One of the latest technical progress is the use of an electronic scanner (電子識別器) which

can read all the contents of your shopping basket or trolley in just a few seconds．If these become

popular, queuing in supermarkets may become a thing of the past.

       But some people just like queuing．One man queued all night for Harrods famous January sale, and then returned home for breakfast at nine o' clock the next morning without going into the shop.

68．The joke in Paragraph 2 implies that the young woman _______.

       A．has been waiting in the queue for a long time

       B．doesn't need to stand in the queue

       C．enjoys standing in the queue

       D．has stood in the wrong line

69．According to the passage, which of the following is true?

       A．The British spend more time queuing than looking for lost things.

       B．The Americans criticized the British for their way of queuing.

       C．The British are always patient when they wait in line.

       D．People queue only when they want to buy something.

70．The British try to solve the problem of queuing by all the following EXCEPT _______.

       A．making a law to prevent queuing

       B．telling the customers the waiting time

       C．using numbered tickets to put the customers in order

       D．checking the price of the goods customers buy with a scanner

71．We can infer from the passage that ________.

       A．queue management doesn't work well

       B．there is still queuing in England

       C．we don't see much queuing in Paris

       D．the French like queuing more than the British
