Dear Mr. Hill,

We are appreciative of your interest in our products. If you visit our website, you’ll see many favorable product reviews. I’ve attached our company catalogue showing our entire line of products.

We designed the Top Everest line to be most elegant luggage you can find anywhere in the world. Some customers want the luggage to be as neatly-fitted and lightweight as possible, so we asked our designers to do just that. You cannot find a more neatly-fitted and lightweight luggage than ours.

In addition, most of our customers want the luggage to be the toughest and most long-lasting, so we chose the toughest and most long-lasting materials for the Top Everest line and subjected our first products to the most severe tests. We had them run over by steamrollers(压路机). We also had trucks run over them. Only a few products survived these tests. We recovered only those that survived the tests, finalized their design, and put them into production. You can count on our products. If you want to purchase our products in a large quantity, we will give you a 10% discount. I am sure your store will make more profits than ever. On April 6 I need to go on a business trip in Texas. I can drop by your store to meet with you and discuss our products in detail.

If we can be of further service, or if you need to get more information, please call us at 356-589-6987 at any time. We value your business and want to help any way we can.

Envelope Budget

From McDonald’s to Sonic, fast food had a bad effect on my waistline and my budget. It was nothing to run to a drive-through to pick up a cold drink or a quick bite to eat. It was so easy to use my card for a small purchase. For me, I got a lot of satisfaction from fast food.

One day I sat down and calculated that I was spending a surprising $40 a week on fast food. This was a lot of iced coffee and hamburgers! Instead of reducing my guilty pleasures, I decided to give myself a strong budget to reduce my consumption. Every Monday I placed an envelope with $20 in my purse. That was my fast food budget for the entire week. If there was anything left over at the end of the week, it was mine to save or spend. If I spent all of the money during the week, there were no more fast food stops that week.

The budget made me more mindful of my purchases. Instead of purchasing a large drink from Sonic. I would purchase a small. It was still satisfying but not nearly as pricey. Instead of eating a whole meal, I would pick the part that I actually wanted. Many days, the thought of hanging onto the money for a special purpose meant more to me than the instant satisfaction of fast food. I never really felt unhappy because it was a conscious choice to spend or save with each purchase.

Envelope budget kept me honest. I had a clear idea how much money was spent each week on fast food purchases. I started to bring my lunches more often to save more money for the week. It was a fun challenge to see how much I could save every week.

Changing the way I spent on fast food not only helped my budget, but improved my weight. In the first month I was able to get rid of 5 pounds by simply changing the way I approached spending on fast food. Now I am more likely to bring my lunch than to buy it. I am not upset, but empowered to make positive choices to improve my life. 24. According to Paragraph 1, the author .

A. had no time to cook for herself B. was fond of fast food very much C. lived with a small amount of money D. got some benefits from using her card

25. The author set her envelope budget to .

A. buy fast food at a good bargain B. save money to buy more fast food C. make fast food spending under control D. get rid of the habit of eating fast food

26. We can infer from the last paragraph that .

A. envelope budget is good for health B. the budget means a pressure on life

C. it is unusual to make some changes D. it is hard to enjoy a healthy lifestyle

27. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Why the author became addicted to fast food. B. Why the author took envelope budget seriously. C. How fast food controlled the author’s behavior. D. How envelope budget changed the author’s

C

In June 2014, Huffington Post and Mail Online reported that three-year-old Victoria Wilcher, who had suffered facial scarring, had been kicked out of a KFC because she was frightening customers. Later, KFC announced that no evidence had been found to support the story. This phenomenon is largely a product of the increasing

pressure in newsrooms that care more about traffic figures.

Brooke Binkowski, an editor, says that, during her career, she has seen a shift towards less editorial oversight in newsrooms. “Clickbait is king, so newsrooms will uncritically print something unreal. Not all newsrooms are like this, but a lot of them are.”

Asked what the driving factor was, a journalist said, “You’ve an editor breathing down your neck and you have to meet your targets. And there are some young journalists on the market who are inexperienced and who will not do those checks. So much news that is reported online happens online. There is no need to get out and knock on someone’s door. You just sit at your desk and do it.”

Another journalist says, “There is definitely pressure to churn out (粗制滥造) stories in order to get clicks, because they equal money. At my former employer in particular, the pressure was on due to the limited resources. That made the environment quite horrible to work in.”

In a February 2015 report for Digital Journalism, Craig Silverman wrote, “Today the bar for what is worth giving attention to seems to be much lower. Within minutes or hours, a badly sourced report can be changed into a story that is repeated by dozens of news websites, resulting in tens of thousands of shares. Once a certain critical mass is reached, repetition has a powerful effect on belief. The rumor(传闻) becomes true for readers simply by virtue of its ubiquity.”

And, despite the direction that some newsrooms seem to be heading in, a critical eye is becoming more, not less important, according to the New York Times’ public editor, Margaret Sullivan. “Reporters and editors have to be more careful than ever before. It’s extremely important to question and to use every verification(验证) method available before publication.” Yet those working in newsrooms talk of doubtful stories being tolerated because, in the words of some senior editors, “a click is a click, regardless of the advantage of a story”. And, “if the story does turn out to be false, it’s simply a chance for another bite at the cherry.”

Verification and fact-checking are regularly falling victim to the pressure to bring in the numbers, and if the only result of being caught out is another chance

to bring in the clicks, that looks unlikely to change.

28. According to Brooke Binkowski, newsrooms produce false news because _____. A. clicks matter a lot C. budgets are inadequate

B. resources are limited D. journalists lack experience

29. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Lies can’t sell without an atom of truth. B. Rumors are like a flame blown by the wind. C. You can hear rumors, but you can’t know them. D. A lie, repeated often enough, will end up as truth.

30. What’s Margaret Sullivan’s attitude towards false news online? A. Negative. Neutral.

31. What is the passage mainly about? A. Consequences of false stories. C. Incompetence of journalists. D

The English have a difficult and，generally speaking，dysfunctional (不协调的) relationship with clothes. Their main problem is dial they have a desperate need for rules, and are unable to get along without them. Tins helps to explain why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly, but with specific areas of excellence. such as high-class men’s suits, ceremonial costume, and innovative (革新的) street fashion. In other words, we English dress best when we are “in uniform”.

You may be surprised that 1 am including “innovative street fashion” in the category of uniform. Surely the parrot-haired punks (朋克摇滚乐迷) or the Victorian vampire Goths are being original, not following rules? It’s true that they all look different and eccentric（奇特的）but in fact they all look eccentric in exactly the same way. They are wearing a uniform. The only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the Queen, who pays no attention to fashion and continues to wear what she likes, a kind of 1950s fashion, with no regard for anyone else’s opinion. However, it is

- 7 -

B. Supportive. C. Sceptical. D.

B. Causes of online false news.

D. A craze to get clicks.

true that the styles invented by young English people are much more eccentric than any other nation’s street fashion, We may not be individually eccentric, apart from the Queen, but we have a sort of collective eccentricity, and we appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.

Another “rule” of behavior I had discovered was that it is very important for the English not to take themselves too seriously, to be able to laugh at themselves. However, it is well known that most teenagers tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.

The Goths, in their scaring black costumes, certainly look as if they are taking themselves seriously. But when I got into conversation with them, I discovered that they too had a sense of humor. I was once chatting to a Goth in the full vampire costume--with a white face, deep purple lipstick, and black parrot-hair. I saw he was also wearing a T-shirt with “Goth”. “Why are you wearing that?” I asked. “It’s in case you don’t realize I’m a Goth,” he answered，pretending to be serious. We both burst out laughing.
