g Comprehension（每题2分，共30分）

Directions:There are three reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by

some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested

answers marked A. B. C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.

Passage One

When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they

did not bring many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished

apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that

more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes,

and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses.

What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People

who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline

workers, young married couples---people whose job or business may force them to

move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of

moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach

their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture

that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy

furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture

than they could afford to buy.

One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented

furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things.

But usually people don't like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home

furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.

of the following has become one of America's fastest growing businesses?

g home furnishings.

g used furniture.

g furnished apartments.

g home furnishings.

do some people prefer to rent furniture?

e the furniture they get in this way is fashionable.

e it saves them a lot of time.

idea of renting furniture has existed for a long time.

A. Rent or Buy?

B. A New Way of Getting Home Furnishings.

C. Furnished Apartments.

D. A New Idea.

Passage Two

You don't need millions to be happy. In fact, at The Happiness Institute in

Australia, a couple of hundred dollars may be enough. The institute opened its doors

last year, and, since then, men and women of all ages have been paying $200 an hour

(US $140)for lessons on how to feel great." You can actually increase your happiness

levels. That's what we teach," said Timothy Sharp, founder of the institute. Experts

say that only about 15 percent of happiness comes from income, assets and other

financial factors. As much as 85 percent comes from things such as attitude, life

control and relationships. Most of us are significantly better off financially than our

parents and grandparents, but happiness levels haven't changed to reflect that. Studies

show that once the basic needs of shelter and food are met, additional wealth adds

very little to happiness.

Many decades ago, the "sage of Baltimore, Maryland", editor HL Mencken,

defined wealth as earning US $100 more than your "wife's sister's husband."

Behavioral economists now say part of the reason we are richer but not happier is

because we compare ourselves to people better off materially. "The argument is that if

you want to be happy there's a very simple thing you can do: Compare yourself to

people who are less well off than you --- poorer, smaller house, car," said

Happiness Institute aims to show you how to overcome these unhappiness factors by

focusing on "more than just your bank account." If I compare myself to Bill Gates

then I’m always going to be down," said Sharp. A better thing to compare with, he

said, might be Kery Packer, Australia's richest person who has had a kidney transplant

and heart surgery in recent years.

main purpose of the Happiness Institute is to_____(Para.1).

2

A. teach you how to increase your happiness levels.

B. teach you how to be better-off financially.

C. help you find the right partner of your life.

D. help you understand the importance of wealth to happiness.

7. Most of the happiness comes from________________.

B. assets C. attitude D food

of the following is true?

A. Just as we are richer than our parents and grandparents, so we are happier.

B. Happiness levels have been increasing since the days of our parents and

grandparents.

C. The key to happiness is to get as rich as possible.

D. Additional wealth adds little to happiness if the basic needs for shelter and food are

met.

9. How can you increase your happiness levels?

A. Always focus on enlarging your bank account.

B. Compare yourself to people who are less well off than you are.

C. Try to earn more money than others.

D. Compare yourself to Bill Gates.

is this passage mainly about?

A. Ways to maintain a happy marriage.

B. Ways to take care of your assets.

C. Increasing your happiness levels by earning more money.

D. How non-financial factors add to your happiness.

Passage Three

In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And

even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what

"keeping up with the Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as

rich as his neighbors.

The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur

Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age

of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife

to a very rich neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people

rode horses, Momand went riding horses every day. When he saw that rich people had

servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new

neighbors.

3

It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always

trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no

longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York

City.

Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep

up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to

write a series of short stories. He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses”, because

"Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses"

came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. His series were

very popular at that time.

People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are

"Joneses" in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with

the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.

11. Some people want to "keep up with the Joneses" because they____.

A. want to be as rich as their neighbors

B. want others to know or to think that they are rich

C. don't want others to know they are rich

D. want to be happy

12. It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to_____.

A. live in small towns B. live in apartments

C. have many neighbors D. live outside New York City

13. The underlined word neighborhood in the second paragraph means______.

A. a person who lives near another

B. people living in an area

C. an area near the place referred to

D. an area in another town or city

"Jones" is________.

A. a popular name in the United States

B. an important name

C. his neighbor's name

D. not a good name
