18．Jeans have become one piece of clothing worn by the most people in the world．Everybody wears them，from the farmer to the lawyer and from models to housewives．But why have jeans become so popular？You'll get many answers．For some peoplethey look cool，for others jeans are just comfortable．
Jeans were first stronger trousers made for farm workers in the states of the American west．In the eastern part of the US jeans were hardly worn at all．They were connected with farm people and the workers．So the rich wouldn't like to wear them．
It was James Dean and Marlon Brando that made them popular in movies and everyone started to wear them．They were a symbol of the rebellion of young people during the 1950s and 1960s．So these new trousers were not allowed in American schools and sometimes in theatres and cinemas．As time went on，jeans became more acceptable．American people in Europe and Japan often wore them when they were not on duty to show that they were Americans．The trousers showed the world a hppier way of life，something that people needed，especially after what they had gone through in World War II．
Jeans had other advantages as well．They didn't need to be washed as often as other trousers and women didn't need to iron them．This became more important as more and more women started working and had less time for housework．
Today jeans are an important part of our lives．They are always washed a few times before they are sold to give them a faded look．

41．Jeans first appearedC．
A．in eastern America   
B．in Middle America

As an old Chinese saying goes，food is what matters most to people．It plays an important role in our daily life，and the rich food culture is also one of the most important parts of Chinese culture．A Bite of China Season Two wants to show the joys and sadnesses of ordinary Chinese in changing times through food．
A Bite of China Season One was shown on CCTV in 2012．It attracted more than 100million viewers．It is all about food，while the second season cares more about the relationship between the people and the food．For example，the first episode shows a young man spent four hours climbing a 40-metre-high tree to get something nice for his brother．
The show reminds viewers of their homes and the tastes of childhood．One Weibo user wrote，"A Bite of China Season Two makes me have so many words to say．It makes me think of my parents and my grandmother．I haven't been home for a long time，so I have decided to go back in a few days．"
The show uses food as a window to introduce China to the world．Viewers can see how Chinese people love life by loving food．Anyone who wants to know more about Chinese culture and Chinese society should have a bite of the program．

16．Most American students have said goodbye to fancy （高檔的） fruits these days．In school canteens（小賣部） across the country，cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their place．
"People are afraid to spend now，"said Linda Morrow，who owns a shoe and handbag store．"They don't know what the future will bring．"
During the financial crisis （金融危機），several of the country's biggest banks have been forced to sell or close．This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods．
Samira Marino，a restaurant owner in Miami，has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and more people are sharing meals．In more than two-dozen interviews with The Associated Press across the country last month，Americans talked about their concerns，from worries about small businesses to doubts （懷疑） about simply making ends meet （維持生計）．
The crisis began last year．Experts think it was because US banks lend money too easily．Last year a lot of people and companies，who borrowed money，have found themselves unable to pay it back．This left the banks，as well as the people who put their money in the banks，without money．Since the banks borrowed money between themselves and even across borders （國界），the whole world was in trouble．
This month the US government agreed on a $700billion plan to try to save the financial market（金融市場）．But no one is sure whether it will help or not．President George W．Bush has warned it will take some time．
Last week top finance officials from 20countries promised to work together to find a way out of the money trouble．

36．Why are people in the US afraid to spend？C

15．The Internet，mobile phones and Ipads are part of our lives now．Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives，from the ways we work to the ways we play．And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans．
We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot．There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology．Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly．
Global Positioning System （GPS） （全球定位系統(tǒng)）
It's a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact （精確地） information．It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions．It's made up of three parts：satellites，control equipments （設(shè)備） on land and receivers．
Space Technology
Russian and American scientists have worked together for the International Space Station （ISS） for a long time．They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab．Such a lab will bring humans limitless （無限的） advantages．It's even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space．
Underwater Robot
Hercules is a kind of Underwater Robot with some high technology equipments．It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago．The world is changing so quickly that it's hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month．It's important for us to learn about new technology and the role that it plays in our lives．So we should be willing to accept modern technology，or we will fall behind the time．

13．Many young people want to become pop-stars．It is their great ambition（雄心） in life．They think pop-stars earn a lot of money，they lead interesting and exciting lives，thousands of fans love them，and they become famous!
Yes，but first they must become stars．Most performers star life with a group．This is the pattern nowadays．But there are many groups and competitions are hard．Groups appear and disappear almost overnight．Only a small number survive．Almost without exception they have to work very hard before they reach the top．
And very few reach the top and stay there．In England there are perhaps thirty or so groups at the top．Most of these do not earn so much money，perhaps 500pounds each time they perform．What's more，they have quite a lot of expenses（開銷）．They have to pay a manager，for example．He is the key person in their lives and takes about 20% of their earnings-perhaps more．Then there are their clothes，their instruments and their van．Sometimes they are still playing for the last two items．
And don't forget，they have to travel a great deal-someties 2，000miles inone week．At times they even sleep in their van instead of a hotel，just to save money．
So now，what do you think？Are pop-stars so rich？And do they have such exciting lives？

29．Which of the following is the reason that many young people want to become pop-stars？D

B．Becoming a rich man．

D．All of the above．
30．Why is the group's manager well paid？BecauseC．
A．he runs this group
B．he looks after them
C．he is important to them
D．he buys them clothes and instruments
31．The writer makes us believeC．
A．it is pleasant to become a pop-star
B．if you work very hard in pop groups，you will reach the top
C．pop-stars are neither too rich nor too happy

We were very （16）C，this stranger and I．We went on our way and said goodbye．
But at home（17）Bstory is told-how we treat our loved ones，young nd old．Later that day，cooking the evening meal，my daughter stood beside me very still．When I turned，I nearly knocked her down．"Move out of the way，"I shouted at her．My daughter walked away，her little heart broken．I didn't realize how rudely I had spoken．
While l was（18）Ain bed．God's small voice came to me and said，"When dealing with a （19）D，common manners you use，but the children you love，you seem to be rude．Look on the kitchen floor，and you will find some（20）Cthere by the door．Those are the flowers your daughter brought for you．She picked them herself，pink，yellow and blue．Your daughter stood  （21）B not to spoil（毀壞）the surprise，and you never saw the tears in her eyes．"
By this time，I felt very small，and now my （22）Cbegan to fall．I quietly went and knelt（跪下） by her bed；"Wake up，my little baby，wake up，"I said．
"Are these the flowers you（23）Afor me？"My daughter smiled，"I found them out by the tree．I picked them（24）Dthey are pretty like you．I knew you would like them，especially the blue．"
I said，"Daughter，I am sorry for the way I acted today：I should not have shouted at you that way．"My daughter said，"Oh，Mom，that's okay．I lov you anyway．"
I said，"Daughter，I love you too，and I do like the flowers，especially the（25）B．"

10．Techeng Island（特呈島）lies in the southeast of Zhanjiang．The villagers there used to make a living by fishing．But now，most of them make much money by doing business．They believe that their island is a gift from nature and they give thanks to it every day．In 2003，President Hu Jintao came to visit the island and pointed out that the government of Zhanjiang should take the island into a"civilized new eco-tourism island"（文明生態(tài)旅游新海島）．Since then，the island has opened a new page in history．
