Part II: Reading Comprehension

Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad foe the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away your appetite(胃口). It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he wasn’t telling the truth. He was telling a lie. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficult in swallowing anything dry. Because when he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat..

The market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale, you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbors and some to the manager of a local store. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you may stop producing.
If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing service for the market. If your father is a steelworker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or services for the market. When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. If you spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations, and restaurants, you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck (送货车) , he is buying your labor in the labor market.
The market is everywhere, and it's very real. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won't be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It's telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to do.

An unusual cooperation between the local university and other education providers in East Anglia has seen the establishment of Norwich's new Learning Shop. At the city center shop, local people can look through booklets and leaflets to find out about learning opportunities ranging from evening classes to postgraduates (研究生) degrees. Skilled staff are on hand to give accurate information about courses and training in the region.
More than 11,000 people have visited the shop since it opened in 1997. The majority of inquiries have been about courses in further education, but 17 percent have related to higher education in general.
Customer feedback (反馈) confirms how valuable the resource is. A woman's comment is typical: "It's a brilliant idea - less daunting than going to the different institutions." A seller told us: "This really gives you hope you can get back into something."
Fellow institutions are welcome to set up exhibitions and events at the shop: to date, these have included poetry readings, a recorder concert and numerous exhibitions and displays. The shop is staffed by two advisers and other colleagues from the fellow institutions in the region.
Speaking at the "Norwich as a Learning City" conference, Prof. Mike Campell at the local university, said the first barrier (障碍) to learning was lack of information. The Learning Shop aims to break down that barrier.
1. For what purpose is the Learning Shop set up.'?

B. To sell booklets and leaflets of the institutions.
C. To provide educational opportunities to old people.

Eddie was a carpet fitter, and he hated it. For ten years he had spent his days sitting, squatting, kneeling or crawling on floors, in houses, offices, shops, factories and restaurants. Ten years of his life, cutting and fitting carpets for other people to walk on, without even seeing them. When his work was done, no one ever appreciated it. No one ever said "Oh, that's a beautiful job, the carpet fits so neatly." They just walked all over it.
Eddie was sick of it.
He was especially sick of it on this hot, humid day in August, as he worked to put the finishing touches to today's job. He was just cutting and fixing the last edge on a huge red carpet which he had fitted in the living room of Mrs. Vanbrugh's house. Rich Mrs. Vanbrugh, who changed her carpets every year, and always bought the best. Rich Mrs. Van- brugh, who had never even given him a cup of tea all day, and who made him go outside when he wanted to smoke. Ah well, it was four o'clock and he had nearly finished. At least he would be able to get home early today. He began to day-dream about the weekend, about the Saturday football game he always played for the local team, where he was known as "Ed the Head" for his skill in heading goals from corner kicks.
Eddie sat back and sighed. The job was done, and it was time for a last cigarette. He began tapping the pockets of his overalls, looking for the new packet of Marlboro he had bought that morning. They were not there. It was as he swung around to look in his tool- box for the cigarettes that Eddie saw the lump. Right in the middle of the brand new bright red carpet, there was a lump. A very visible lump. A lump the size of a packet of cigarettes.
"Blast!" said Eddie angrily, "I've done it again! I've left the cigarettes under the blasted carpet !"
He had done this once before, and taking up and refitting the carpet had taken him two hours. Eddie was determined that he was not going to spend another two hours in this house. He decided to get rid of the lump another way. It would mean wasting a good packet of cigarettes, nearly full, but anything was better than taking up the whole carpet and fitting it again. He turned to his toolbox for a large hammer.
Holding the hammer, Eddie approached the lump in the carpet. He didn't want to damage the carpet itself, so he took a block of wood and placed it on top of the lump. Then he began to beat the block of wood as hard as he could. He kept beating, hoping Mrs. Vanbrugh wouldn't hear the noise and come to see what he was doing. It would be difficult to explain why he was hammering the middle of her beautiful new carpet.
After three or four minutes, the lump was beginning to flatten out. Eddie imagined the cigarette box breaking up, and the crushed cigarettes spreading out under the carpet. Soon, he judged that the lump was almost invisible. Clearing up his tools, he began to move the furniture back into the living room, and he was careful to place one of the coffee tables over the place where the lump had been, just to make sure that no one would see the spot where his cigarettes had been lost. Finally, the job was finished, and he called Mrs.
Vanbrugh from the dining room to inspect his work.
"Yes, dear, very nice," said the lady, peering around the room briefly.
"You'll be sending me a bill, then?"
"Yes madam, as soon as I report to the office tomorrow that the job is done. " Eddie picked
up his tools, and began to walk out to the van. Mrs. Vanbrugh accompanied him. She seemed a
little worried about something. "Young man," she began, as he climbed into the cab of his van,
laying his toolbox on the passenger seat beside him, "while you were working todav, you didn't by any chance see any sign of Armand, did you? Armand is my parakeet. A beautiful bird, just beautiful, such colors in his feathers ... I let him out of his cage, you see, this morning, and he's disappeared. He likes to walk around the house, and he's so good, he usually just comes back to his cage after an hour or so and gets right in. Only today he didn't come back. He's never done such a thing before, it's most peculiar ..."
"No, madam, I haven't seen him anywhere," said Eddie, as he reached to start the van.
And saw his packet of Marlboro cigarettes on the dashboard, where he had left it at lunch time ...
And remembered the lump in the carpet ...
And realised what the lump was ...
And remembered the hammering ...
And began to feel rather sick ...

Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting .It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so mush more exciting .You need not worry If you lack money .This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me,I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper.One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back,though the return often comes in an unexpected form.One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home,though it was addressed to me at my office.I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation.More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting.I was told at the window that there no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list.As I was about to leave,the postmaster appeared in the doorway.He had overheard(无意中听到)our conversation .“Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home? ”I said yes.“Well,you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you.You don’t know what a letter like that means to us.We usually get nothing but complaints”

It is not known how many workers have died from complications caused by byssinosis or even the number now suffering from the disease, but estimates indicate that the victims run into the thousands. One federal estimate is that 230 000 mill workers are exposed to conditions that might result in the disease. In some areas of cotton mills, such as the rooms more of the workers have byssinosis, according to the federal figures.
But the changes are slow in coming. A few textile companies, among them Cone Mills and Buringtom Industries, Inc., the largest textile form in the United States, have started medical programs for their mill workers and are attempting to reduce dust levels in some locations but many other companies are holding back, waiting to see what the law will require them to do.
It will be up to the federal government, through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, to set permissible levels for cotton dust in the air. The agency, whose job is to set and enforce health standards for American workers, has been promising a cotton dust standard for several years, but still has not come up with one. However, OSHA’s research arm has recommended that a tough standard of0.2 of a milligram of dust be accepted.

Is teaching important? Well, of course it is. There was a time when the necessary knowledge could be taught to the young by family members. But as societies became more complex and division of labor more common, it was impossible for family members to teach the information and skills young people needed to become useful members of the society. As the need for specialists appeared, the job of teaching came into being in our country, and teaching as a job has been of increasing importance over the past one hundred years. Today, we have strict rules for teachers. We hope all children can go to school. Many things tell us that teaching is indeed an “important” job.
In recent years, there has been an increasing need for teachers to be “responsible”. This means that the public expects teachers to succeed in teaching important information to the young teachers’ salaries today, while not much, certainly are much higher than they were in the past. These increases have come about because people have realized that without enough salaries, people who have abilities will not become teachers. Today almost no one says that “anybody will do” for a teacher. The public expects “quality people” to teach the young, and progress is being made to give salaries that will make people who have abilities become teachers.
1. Before the job of teaching came into being _____.
A. family members had been responsible for the education of the young
B. specialists had been in charge of teaching young people
C. young people had to be self-educated
D. the society had played an important role in educating young people
2. The job of teaching came into being mainly because of _____.
A. the development of the society

Most of us can find 15 minutes or half an hour each day for some specific regular activity. It may be a free period or a regular wait, say in the queue for a bus or meal --- even while eating breakfast. One famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each night. Whether he went to bed at 10 pm or 2:30 am made no difference. Even if you cannot keep to this kind of discipline, it is a good idea to make sure you always have a general interest book in your pocket. Don’t forget it should be a book which entertains you and the English must no be too difficult for you.
Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element---some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached. Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are busy reading the book? Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a public clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest book. You should soon notice your habitual w.p.m. rate creeping up.
