Passage 1
What is making this man's wallet so fat? Is it money? You might think so, for the man takes his wallet out when he buys things he wants and needs. But the man doesn't pay cash when he buys something. He has credit cards, which he uses in place of money.
Like many other people today, this man buys on credit. This means that some stores and businesses are willing to let him have their goods or services now and pay for them later. At each of these stores he has a charge account. People charge when they don't have the money to buy all at once or when they don't want to carry a lot of money.
Charge accounts are of two main kinds. With a regular charge account, the store gives a customer credit for no extra charge. That is, if he pays for the products that he buys soon after he gets his bill, there is no extra charge. Thus a pair of trousers that cost $14.95, plus 75 cents state sales tax, would still cost $15.70 at the end of the month when the bill is sent to the buyer. The store managers don't feel that a month is too long to wait for their money. They are willing to wait this long because they are competing with other stores that offer the same service. The store's waiting time is one of the costs of doing business. (A store that sells only for cash may be able to sell the same trousers for less than $15.70 because one of its costs is less.)
The other kind of charge account, called budget account, is like installment buying. It lets a buyer use goods longer before paying his whole bill. With most of these charge accounts, the buyer has to pay only 10% or 15% of the total charge each month.
6. According to the passage, people charge when___________.
A. they want to pay in cash
B. they sell goods
C. they buy goods on credit
D. they don't have money to buy goods
7. With a regular charge account, the store allows you to pay later for the goods you buy because___________.
A. the store managers don't need a high profit
B. it is a good way to promote sales
C. the store wants to make more profit
D. the store is competing with other stores by reducing its profit
8. For a budget account the buyer has to pay___________.
A. the price and an interest for the credit
B. much more than the price marked
C. less than the price marked
D. as much as he pays in cash
9. From the passage we know that state sales tax can be___________.
A. very low B. neglected C. quite high D. as high as 5%
10. From the passage it can be inferred that___________.
A. American stores offer good services willingly
B. a budget account is more favored than a regular account
C. American stores are competing severely
D. Americans don't have enough cash to pay

Passage 2
Not very long ago, a special family system existed in certain parts of South India. In this system, the actual head of a family unit was the mother's eldest brother, though the mother also had an important position in the family. In families of this kind, a husband was actually no more than a visitor. He did not live with his wife, but with his own mother, brothers and sisters in another house. He saw his sons and daughters sometimes, but the man who actually fed and cared for them and acted as their father was their uncle——their mother's brother.
But this system, in which brothers take the place of the father, no longer exists in South India except in a few villages. Economic changes have had far-reaching effect on family life, family life began to change when men went out to work in factories and offices instead of working with their mothers, brothers, and sisters on the land. When a man went out to work he had money of his own and could buy his own land and build his own family, instead of depending on his mother and his brothers. He wanted to be independent. This is an example of the way in which economic relations can have an effect on family relationships.
11. The best title of this passage is ___________.
A. Husband, Actually A Visitor in Family
B. Family System in South India
C. Wife Has Important Position in Family
D. Life Affected by Economic Relation
12. Who had the actual control of a family in South India not long ago?
A. Mother. B. The mother's eldest brother.
C. The father. D. The father's mother.
13. In this system, the husband lived together with his __________.
A. wife B. sons and daughters
C. mother, brothers and sisters D. wife's brother
14. Now in South India there are_________ of this system in which a husband has no control of his family.
A. no families B. many more families
C. very few families D. not any families
15. What has caused such a strange family system to die away?
A. The fact that the mother has not got any brother.
B. The fact that the father has got his own house and land.
C. The changes in economic relations.
D. The changes in family relationships.

Dear Alice,
How is everything going with you? I plan to go to Sanya in Hainan province for my summer holiday. It's a famous seaside resort in China with clear water, beautiful sand and tall palm trees. It’s a wonderful place for a relaxation. You can enjoy delicious seafood and fresh fruits of many kinds. What's more, you can do a lot of activities there, you can go swimming, surfing and diving, and you also can have a barbecue on the beach. I plan to stay there for a week and I believe I will enjoy myself there.
Regards
Yours ever
Jimmy
