Many young people in America go to camps when they are out of school during the summer. They are offered a chance to explore different things: nature, sports, music, technology ——even business and economy.
One such program for high school students in the Pacific Northwest is called Washington Business Week. The program began in 1975. Officials say forty-five thousand people have attended Washington Business Week. Other states now have similar camps.
Washington Business Week describes itself as a way to learn more about how to plan for the future in an ever-changing economy. Students form an executive(行政的) management (管理) team. They lead an imaginary company to financial success.
The camp is held at three colleges in Washington State. The high school students live in the college housing. The cost of the camp is almost three hundred dollars, but families can receive financial assistance(援助).
Some business camps are free. These are for students from poor areas. The National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship（企業(yè)家）(NFTE) is an organization based in New York City that supports such camps. It has programs around the United States and its Web site lists international partners in China, Tanzania and a few other countries. NFTE says it has served more than one hundred thousand young people since 1987.
Among other business camps is Camp C.E.O.. C.E.O is an chief executive officer. And this camp is for girls only. Camp C.E.O. is supported by the Girl Scouts of America and takes place for one week each summer.
The camp took place last month in Tennessee. The girls worked with successful businesswomen
from different industries. The girls learned how to build a business and develop an idea into a product. And, we imagine, they also had some fun.

In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery”— feeling important and worthwhile — and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure”— finding life enjoyable — are not always the same．Women often are told “You can’t have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You choose a career, so you can’t expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and children — what’s all this about wanting a career?” But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.
Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects．One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression．Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity．Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism．It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life．The two are independent of each other．A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa（反之亦然）．For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.
The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes．In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being．But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important．And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work．In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.
A woman’s well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles．At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles — marriages, motherhood, and employment — were the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain.
小題1:It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ________.
A．for women, a sense of “mastery” is more important than a sense of “pleasure”
B．for women, a sense of “pleasure” is more important than a sense of “mastery”
C．women can’t have a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” at the same time
D．a(chǎn) sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” are both necessary to women
小題2:The author’s attitude towards women having a career is________.
A．negativeB．positive
C．indifferentD．realistic
小題3:One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles, ________.
A．it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain
B．she will be more successful in her career
C．her chances of getting promoted will be greater
D．her life will be richer and more meaningful
小題4:Which of the following can be considered as a source of “pleasure” for women?
A．Family lifeB．Multiple roles in society
C．Regular employmentD．Freedom from anxiety

Until recently, women in advertisements wore one of three things — an apron, an attractive dress or a frown. Although that is now changing, many women still feel angry about offending advertisements. “This ad degrades women.” they protested（抗議）.Why does this sort of advertising exist? How can advertisers and ad agencies still produce, sometimes, after months of research, advertising that offends the consumer?
The ASA, the body which deals with complaints about print media, is carrying out research into how women feel about the way they are pictured in advertisements. Its conclusions are likely to be what the advertising industry already knows: although women are often annoyed by the ads, few feel strong enough to complain.
Women are not the only victims of poor and boring stereotypes（老套）— in many TV commercials men are seen either as useless, childish fools who are unable to perform the simplest household tasks, or as inconsiderate fellows, always on the lookout for an escape to the pub. But it is women who seem to suffer more from the industry’s inability to put people into an authentic present-day situation. Yet according to Emma Bennett, director of a London advertising agency, women are not aggressive or extremely angry about those stereotypes and sexist （歧視婦女）advertising. “They just find it annoying or tiresome.”
She says that it is not advertising’s use of the housewife role that bothers women, but the way in which it is handled. “The most important thing is the advertisement’s tone of voice. Women hate being insincerely praised or given desperately down-to-earth common-sense advice.”
In the end, the responsibility for good advertising must be shared between the advertiser, the advertising agency and the consumer. Advertising does not set trends but it reflects them. It is up to the consumer to tell advertisers where they fail, and the process of change will remain slow until people on the receiving end take the business seriously and make their –feelings known.
小題1:Despite recent changes in attitudes, some advertisements still fail to        .
A．change women’s opinions of themselves
B．show any understanding of consumers’ feelings
C．persuade the public to buy certain products
D．meet the needs of the advertising industry
小題2:According to the writer, the commonest fault of present-day advertising is to         .
A．condemn the role of the housewifeB．ignore protests about advertisements
C．present a misleading image of womenD．picture the activities of men wrongly
小題3:Emma Bennett suggests that advertisement ought to        .
A．give further emphasis to practical advice
B．change their style rather than their content
C．use male images instead of female ones
D．sing higher praise for women than before
小題4:We can learn from the passage that advertising industry should         .
A．take its job more eagerlyB．do more pioneering work
C．take notice of the public opinionD．concentrate on the products advertised

Transportation and communication networks bring people together．Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers(障礙)to transportation and communication．
In some countries，laws stop people from moving freely from place to place．Over the centuries，many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race，religion，or nationality．In the Middle Ages，for example，Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities．South Africa’s government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country．Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move．
Countries set up customs posts at their borders．Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country．Usually travellers  have to carry special papers such as passports and visas(簽證)．Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year．Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country，or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay．
Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication．When two governments disagree with each other on important matters，they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely．Countries often try to keep military or lndustrial information secret．
Today，people have the ability to travel，to communicate，and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before．Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily．The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome．But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers，people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.
小題1:Choose the best title for the passage．
A．Progress of Human Society
B．Restrictions on Transportation
C．Functions of Communication
D．Barriers Made by People
小題2:The author uses the examples in the second paragraph to tell people that_______.
A．travellers have to carry special papers such as visas
B．customs posts are necessary at the borders of the countries
C．people have been allowed to travel freely within the country
D．people have not been permitted to travel freely for various reasons
小題3:Why do some governments limit the freedom of communication?Because they______.
A．intend to keep their national secrets unknown to others
B．think such freedom will lead to wars
C．often disagree with each other on important matters
D．want to show their authority over communication
小題4:We may learn from the passage that_______.
A．people do not care about the removal of barriers between countries
B．people can not remove the obstacles made by themselves
C．man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural ones
D．barriers should be taken for granted as they always exist

In 1956 Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue skies. One day as I walked around the house with my sister Kathy’s new parakeet （小鸚鵡）on my finger, I wanted to show Perky   36   the sky looked like. Maybe he could make a little bird   37  out there.

AHeading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind:
Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, “Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network. You don’t need to dress like you’re going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put together.”
Logo mania (品牌狂熱癥): Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. It’s tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, “walking advertisement”-style, why not express who you really are?
Wear real pants! The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you’re exercising. Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!
Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them. Sure, kittens might be cute, but they’re not doing you any favors in the style department. Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!
小題1: The second paragraph indicates the importance of ________.
A．impressing professorsB．getting on well with classmates
C．creating a professional imageD．dressing appropriately
小題2:The author believes that college girls should ________.
A．choose a logo that suits their age
B．try to load up on well-known logos
C．use logos to show who they are
D．find their identity by trying different logos
小題3:The author recommends wearing real pants because ________.
A．leggings and baggy shirts are too common
B．yoga pants and sweatpants are not as comfortable
C．real pants can present you with appropriate maturity
D．people like real pants better than the other pants
小題4:What’s the writer’s attitude towards sweaters with animals on them?
A．They make people look lovely.
B．They are very fashionable these days.
C．They will show you’re an animal lover.
D．They are not suitable for college-aged students.
小題5:In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?
A．Business Week.B．Parents.C．In style.D．Travel & Leisure.

Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected, he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA.
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.
Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way.
小題1:What is Cleveland?
A．An island.B．A country.
C．A city in America.D．A village in England.
小題2:What do most people usually do to show their care to others according to the passage?
A．They give gifts. B．They give money.
C．They send regards.D．They offer help.
小題3:What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A．Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in October.
B．Sweetest Day is just an occasion to care about disabled people.
C．Sweetest Day is an occasion for lovers to express love.
D．Sweetest Day is a day to make others happy.
小題4:The underlined word “neglected” in the second paragraph means “______”.
A．rememberedB．hated
C．disappointedD．paid little or no attention to
小題5:Which of the following has little relationship to Sweetest Day?
A．Visiting sick people of the hospital.
B．Visiting children who have lost their parents.
C．Giving flowers to sweethearts.
D．Giving friends small gifts.

It is a matter of common observation that although incomes keep going up over the years，people never seem to become much better off! Prices are rising continuously．The condition is termed(稱作) one kind 0f inflation, the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable．People have got used in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation．
What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. It seems that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall．If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices，one might think that inflation does not matter．But it does when money is losing value，it lacks one of the qualities of a good money---stability (穩(wěn)定) of value．It is no longer acceptable as a store of value；and it becomes an unsuitable standard of deferred(延期) payments．Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession，so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates people spending，and prevents people from saving.
小題1:
What does inflation mean?
A．People’s money becomes more valuable
B．The problem of employment will be solved．
C．It’s easier for people to find better paying jobs．
D．Money keeps losing its value．
