Christmas is long gone. and Valentine’s Day is a distant memory. That means it's a slow time for jewelers, and a good time for you to make a purchase. Whether you’re out shopping for gold, or silver, here fife a few things you need to know:
What determines price?
The purity of the metal is one of the elements that determines the price. Gold purity is indicated with a stamp of 10K, 14K, 18K, or 24K. And different countries have their own standards. For example, for a piece to be considered gold in the US, it must be at least 10K. In Britain and Canada: 9K. In Italy and France: l 8K. Anything over l 8K is really too soft for everyday wear. That’s why jewelry stores in the US sell mostly 14K.
How much can you expect to pay?
That depends on the weight of the metal and the gemstone(寶石). So keep that in mind, especially when buying online. To keep yourself from getting ripped off, ask yourself the following:
●How long has the company been around?
●What is its return policy?
● Is the jewelry featured on the website visible from all directions?
● Is the company transparent with the gram weights and the size of the gemstones?
Yellow gold? White? Rose?
Yes, it's confusing, and while this is largely a personal decision, there fife a few things to keep in mind. For starters. white or rose gold costs about l 0% more than yellow gold. If you want the “l(fā)ook for less”, consider gold. plated jewelry. “Gold plated” and “gold overlay” mean the same thing and guarantee a thicker layer of finish than “vermeil” which is a flash finish that is thinner and less consistent, but more affordable. Buy vermeil finished pieces you want for a season or two just to follow the fashion. For pieces you want to wear for a lifetime, solid gold is best.
What about sterling silver(標準純銀)?
Sterling silver has been。an alternative for white gold during the difficult economy, and while it used to be more popular with just the younger these days it has much more mass appeal. So much so that retailers are now offering fine gemstones with silver--something you used to see only with gold.
Keep in mind that in the US. the sterling silver standard is 92.5% real silver. Don’t buy it if there isn’t a “925” stamp on it. And keep in mind that the lower price you’re paying for silver means more maintenance. To keep silver jewelry from becoming less shiny, consider keeping a piece of chalk in your jewelry box.
小題1:According to the passage, the underlined phrase “getting ripped off” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_______”.
A．being chargedB．being cheatedC．being affected D．being attracted
小題2:Which of the following is relatively good for only wearing a short time?
A．A 14K necklace. B．A gold-plated ring.
C．A vermeil ear ring. D．A gemstone necklace.
小題3:We call infer from the last paragraph that silver jewelry should be kept ________
A．in a dry placeB．in a cold placeC．in a wet placeD．in a hot place
小題4:The author writes the passage mainly to ________.
A．encourage young people to buy fashionable jewelry
B．tell people the best time to purchase gold and silver
C．introduce the real value and popularity of gold and silver
D．inform people of the factors to consider in buying jewelry

It seems hard to watch someone yawn and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.
Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自閉癥) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect.
"Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together," said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. "Yawning may be part of that." Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.
"The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them," she said. "The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others’," she added. "Autistic people never seem to understand that."
Like infectious laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.
小題1:What does the new study suggest, according to the first two paragraphs?
A．It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.
B．Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God.
C．Children follow others in yawning just after they are born.
D．Yawning is a form of communication.
小題2:According to Molly Helt, _________________.
A．emotions are infectious, but yawning is not
B．yawning helps clear ears on planes
C．humans differ from animals because they communicate with others
D．yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true about yawning?
A．It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn.
B．Some kids are too young to yawn after others.
C．Yawning can be used to test children’s development.
D．Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn.
小題4:The author implies in the last paragraph that ________.
A．it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasions
B．yawning can make people feel relaxed
C．yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theory
D．the more you yawn, the happier you will be

The purpose of a letter of application(求職信) is to help you to "sell" yourself. It should state   36  the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have   37 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without   38  out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in   39  that the things a possible employer is most   40  to want to know about are your qualifications(條件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.   41  the first few sentences fail to   42  the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be   43  at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not   44  your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your   45  in today’s newspaper,” you might say “I have made a careful   46  of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives   47  your product and why they like it.”
Try to   48  generalities(概述). Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now   49 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I  50 in a letter? Employers want experience—which, naturally, no   51 has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is   52 .
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.   53  a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent   54  is to enclose(內附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it   55  for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

A．easilyB．carefullyC．obviouslyD．clearly
小題2:
A．doneB．foundC．knownD．heard
小題3:
A．sendingB．leavingC．takingD．picking

People in the UK often talk about their homes: their mortgages (按揭), the interest rates, and rising prices. Here’s a guide to some of the words and phrases you might come across.
It’s a good idea in the UK to arrange a mortgage with a bank before you start looking. This is when the bank tells you how much money they will lend you so you have a good idea of how much you can afford.
The next step is to go to an estate agent and see what sort of properties they have available in your budget range and in your area. If you see something you like, the estate agent will arrange for you to view the property, so that you can see the house or flat for yourself.
If you see something that takes your eye, you put in an offer. The vendor (賣家) can accept or decline this offer, and if the vendor accepts it, you can move forward with the sale. However, as you don’t pay any money at this point, the offer isn’t legally binding (具有約束力), and in theory, you can pull out of the offer at any time that you like.
Your next step will probably be to get a structural survey done. A qualified surveyor will inspect the house and write a report that illustrates any structural problems, like damp or drainage problems.
If you still want to go ahead with the sale, you need to appoint a lawyer to do the legal paperwork.. If you already own a house, you might also be busy trying to sell it. Many house owners prefer to sell to first-time buyers (those people who don’t already own a home), as they are not in a chain (waiting for other people to buy the house before they can buy their next house).
Finally, once the contracts are signed and exchanged, you complete on your house. You get the keys and you can move in whenever you want. Then you might want to throw a house-warming party. Congratulations!
小題1: Which of the following shows the right order of what happens before the people in the UK move into a new house?
a. ask for a company which represents others of properties
b. decide how much to borrow from the bank
c. examine the structure of the house
d. hire a lawyer and make a contract
e. offer the seller the right money
f. visit the house and discuss a price with the seller
A．b, a, f, d, c, e B．b, a, f, c, d, e
C．b, a, f, e, d, c D．b, f, d, e, c, a
小題2: According to the passage, these statements are correct EXCEPT ___________.
A．People can borrow the whole money for a new house from a bank.
B．People care for mortgages, interest rates and the prices &house.
C．The sellers are more interested in the first-time buyers.
D．After getting the keys, the owners sometimes have a party.
小題3:Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．Owners.B．Surveyors.
C．Lawyers.D．Collectors.
小題4: The passage is maybe one that _______________.
A．give some advice on the house
B．introduces a book on travelers
C．give some tips to buyers
D．introduces a guide to visitors
