Passage 2

Americans this year will swallow 15, 000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most

effective drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicine in the world today, it is

an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap.

Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around

much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of

the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in

aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe

with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(

片

剂

) were available in the United States.

For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works.

A small quantity of aspirin (two five- grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It

also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short, is

truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest

suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects

that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.

drinking that.

Passage 3

Packaging

is

a

very

important

form

of

advertising. A

package

can

sometimes

motivate people to buy products. For example, a little child might ask for a breakfast

food contained in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested

in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games

printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy

products - or to ask their parents to buy for them.

Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products

sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in plain

container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or

dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is

added to the cost of the product.

The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy

Size” or “Family Size” printed on it. This suggests that the larger size has the most

product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find it out, a buyer has to

know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.

The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important

thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words

and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.

11.“A buyer will get something for nothing” in paragraph 2 may tell us the following

except _______.

A. a buyer will not get what he pays for

B. a buyer will get more than what he pays for

C. a buyer will get something useful free of charge

D. a buyer will get more but pay less

12. From the passage we know the buyer pays more attention to ________.

A. the size of a container

B. a container with attractive picture

C. a well-designed container

D. a plain container with low cost

13. What suggestion does the writer give in the passage?

A. It's not good to buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish.

B. The quality of a container has nothing to do with the quality of the product.

C. The best choice for a buyer is to buy a product in a plain package.

D. A buyer should buy what he needs most rather than a well- designed package.

Passage 4

In Lusaka, Zambia, a young man applying for a job was told to see the manager. He

leaned

over

the

receptionist’s

desk

and

asked.

“

What

tribe(

部落

)

is

he?

”

When

the

receptionist told him that the manager was a Mashona, the applicant replied,

“

Then I'll

never get the job.

”

This phenomenon is called tribalism(

部落主义

). There are more than 2,000 tribes

in black Africa. Each has its own language, customs, and physical characteristics that

make its members almost immediately recognizable to a person from another tribe. To

the Westerner, tribalism is one of the most difficult of African customs to understand.

It makes many people think of savagery, warfare, or old- fashioned customs.

However, to

most Africans, tribalism

simply means very strong loyalty to one’s

ethnic group. It is a force that can be both good and bad. By definition tribalism means

sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken

care of by his own group tribesman. To give a job to a fellow is not wrong; it is an

obligation. Similarly, for a politician or military leader, it is considered good common

sense to choose his closest advisers from people of his own tribe. This ensures security,

continuity, and authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion

—

from sergeant

to captain, from clerk to manager

—

within a very short time.
