Bill and his family have been living in the same old building for eight years. The landlor

d (房东)also lives there，and usually all the tenants(房客)get along fairly well with one another. Recently，however, there has been a change in their relations.

Biir s family members were used to peace and quiet,but the youth likes to listen to his radio late at night. Sometimes his friends came for a visit,and they also made a lot of noise. Everyone in Bill’ s family has been bothered by the new comer and getting angry.

第6题

In old days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something so shocking as to dis

tract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.

Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man's secretary became his personal servant, in charge of remembering his wife's birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep away people he did not wish to speak to; and, of course, typing and filing and taking shorthand.

Now all this may be changing again. The microchip(芯片) and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical(文书的) work that secretaries did.

"Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve the high-tech work and then men will want to do it again. "

That was said by one of the executives(male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under way in the U. S.

Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (乏味的) , will there be a male takeover？ Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as men—not just because they can buy negligees(妇女长睡衣) for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well trained to cope with word processors and computers as men.

Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they______.

A．were less efficient and less trained than men

B．were looked down upon by men

C．would have disturbed the other office workers

D．wore stockings and were not as serious as men

Allthehousewiveswhowenttothenewsupermarkethadonegreatambition:tobetheluckycustomerwhodidno

All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not

have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember,

once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”

For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends,

she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband

tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket

would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”

One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten

to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand,

“I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”

I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were

so. At young age you ought to be growing away from you parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are a1l taking the same way of snowing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out on their own，most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.

They say they want to dress as they please，but all of them wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music，but all of them end up huddled round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in this and that way is that the crowd is doing it.

It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. These days every teenager can 1earn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children.

All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records.

You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well，go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-will the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.

The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell _____.

A.readers how to be popular with people around

B.teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves

C.parents how to control and guide their children

D.people how to understand and respect each other

According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but, in fact, most of them _____.A.have much difficulty understanding each other

B.lack confidence

C.dare not cope with problems single-handed

D.are very much afraid of getting lost

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ？A.There is no popularity that really counts.

B.What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.

C.It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.

D.Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actually doing the same.

The author thinks of advertisements as _____.A.convincing

B.influential

C.instructive

D.authoritative

During the teenage years, one should learn to _____.A.differ from others in as many ways as possible

B.get into the right season and become popular

听力原文： In the field of marketing, consumer goods are classed according to the way in which they are purchased. The two main categories are convenience goods and shopping goods. Two lesser types are specialty goods and unsought goods.

People do not spend much time shopping for convenience items such as groceries, newspapers, toothpaste, razor blades, aspirin, and candy. The buying of convenience goods may be done routinely, as some families buy groceries once a week. Such regularly purchased items are called staples. Sometimes convenience products are bought on impulse, for example, someone has a sudden desire for an ice cream sundae on a hot day. Or they may be purchased as emergency items.

Shopping goods are items for which customers search. They compare prices, quality, and styles, and may visit a number of stores before making decisions. Buying an automobile is often done this way.

Shopping goods fall into two classes: those that are perceived as basically the same and those that are regarded as different. Items that are looked upon as basically the same include such things as home appliances, television sets, and automobiles. Having decided on the model desired, the customer is primarily interested in getting the item at the most favorable price. Items regarded as inherently different include clothing, furniture, and dishes. Quality, style. and fashion will either take precedence over price, or they will not matter at all.

Specialty goods have characteristics that impel customers to make special efforts to find them. Price may be no consideration at all. Specialty goods can include almost any kind of product. Normally, specialty goods have a brand name or other distinguishing characteristics.

Unsought goods are items a consumer does not necessarily want or need or may not even know about. Promotion or advertising brings such goods to the consumer's attention. The product could be something new on the market or it may be a fairly standard service, such as life insurance, for which most people will usually not bother shopping.

According to the speaker, what are convenience goods？

A．Commodities that people are in constant need of.

B．Goods that are convenient to use or purchase.

C．Items that people tend to buy under impulse.

D．Items that have to be bought once a week.
