30、g Investor Fund. Many funds accept regular monthly investments as low as $50 a month, so these funds can be a good way to teach children about the stock market while saving for their college education.Encourage early IRA(个人退休金账户)saving.

31、 summers or after school to begin saving for their future. Imagine how much money youd have today if you had saved $3,000 a year since you were a teenager!Let your kids handle their own money.

79、 moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe,where my father was to attend a meeting.We planned to travel to Belgium,Netherlands and West Germany.I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroa
80、d.I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand,during the flight to Frankfurt.We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew.The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable,even
81、for someone like me,who is otherwise scared of flying.After spending almost two weeks in Europe,we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport,for our return flight.What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河),it was simply an unforgettable experience.I was in a som
82、bre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation,but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again,with the quality of their service.Being the first airline to take me overseas,Lufthansa will always hold a special place
83、 in my heart.Even today,I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline.Flying,in general,for me,has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience)Flying on Lufthansa,however,is something I always have and always will look forward to.36Which co

86、n airline company Da travel agencyBThe Beatles were the most influential band in pop history. In their 8year, 12album history, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr altered (改变) popular culture dramatically. And it wasnt just the suits and changing lengths of hair the four Liv
87、erpool boys wore that had such an impact, but what they seemed to stand for. The world saw them as the voice of a new generation, one with a very different attitude to life. Their influence was at its height in the 1960s, but their music continues to stir listeners today. However, up until recently
88、one aspect of the Beatles was struck in Yesterday: The music had never been remastered (重新灌录). But on September 9 that situation came to an end, with the release of the entire bands music in a digital makeover. It is probably the biggest reissue (重新发行) in pop music history, said British newspaper th
89、e Financial Times. The albums were remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, the location where the band produced much of their work. The cover of their last album, Abbey Road of 1969, featured the four young men striding (大步行走) across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road itself. It is one of the most f
90、amous of all Beatles images. Recently, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album, hundreds of Beatles lovers gathered there to show their appreciation. Pop groups come and go. The boy band pursued by screaming fans one year will be forgotten the next. But the Beatles are one of the few groups w
91、hose music seems to have endured (持久). Why? Paul McCartneys biographer Barry Miles has an explanation: “They were the first rock band and they just happened to be the best. They were the first band to play stadiums, to have their own products. They were groundbreaking in every way,” he says.40Why di

While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to h

But_at_least_I_wasnt_alone_in_my_sufferings. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did. My mother insisted upon kno

She insisted if we said wed be gone an hour, then we be gone one hour or lessnot one hour and one minute. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you can see how mean she was. The worst is y

But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet awaystraight up. A
308、decade ago, adopting the infrared(红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide(杀虫剂)spray
309、ing rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pest problems.Even better, Paleys Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner meas
310、ured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a colourcoded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spotspray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paleys company closed down in 1984, after only three years.
311、Farmers resisted the new technology and longterm backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 7
312、5 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he fail
313、ed to obtain 10 years ago.36Plants will send out an increased amount of heat when they are_.Afacing an infrared scannerBsprayed with pesticidesCin poor physical conditionDexposed to excessive sun rays37In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to_.Aestimate the dam
314、age to the cropsBdraw a colourcoded mapCmeasure the size of the affected areaDlocate the problem area38Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by_.Aresorting to spotsprayingBtransforming poisoned rainCconsulting infrared scanning expertsDdetecting crop problems at an early stage39The app
315、lication of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties_.Aits high costBthe lack of official supportCthe lack of financial supportDits failure to help increase productionBNuclearpowered aircraft carriers are considered one of the most important marine weapons in the 20th c
316、entury. So far, only two countries in the world, the USA and France, have ever produced them. But these fearful fighting machines are about to enter Asia.The US Navy said last month that one of its nine nuclearpowered aircraft carriers will be sent to Japan to replace the diesel(柴油)powered carrier K
317、itty Hawk in 2008. In an agreement on October 30, the two countries also planned to level up their military (军事的) cooperation and the USA called for Japan to take a larger role in alliance military moves.It will be the first time that a nuclearpowered carrier is based in Japan. Bombed by US forces i
318、n World War at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is the only world country to have been attacked by a nuclear weapon. Therefore, the citizens are highly sensitive to where nuclearpowered weapons are based.“A radiation leak at Yokosuka would kill 100,000 people as far away as Tokyo, and could cause billi
319、ons of dollars in damage,” said Masahiko Goto, leader of a protest group in Yokosuka. His group has collected more than 300,000 signatures of people across Japan opposed to the nuclear carrier.The 44yearold Kitty Hawk, the US Navys oldest active ship, has been based in Yokosuka since 1998. It had re
320、turned to the US to be decommissioned in 2008. The new carrier, yet to be unveiled,_will travel faster, be capable of supporting longer operations and carry with it the Navys most modern technology.Experts pointed that this change is not only to strengthen the USJapan military alliance but also to k
321、eep the military power of China and North Korea within limits. However, even Japanese experts dont believe that the two countries are threats to the region.“There is no need for Japan to have a nuclear carrier as defense,” said Tetsuo Maeda, an international relations professor at Tokyo Internationa
322、l University. He said that the change of ship indicates an increased military capability in the region, much more than what is needed.40With such a formidable weapon to enter its country, Japanese citizens _.Aare aware of its benefits to the countryBare anxious about its potential danger Care curiou
323、s about the advanced technology Dare against where the carrier will be based41The replacement of the aircraft carrier is intended to_.Aset up a kind of base in Japan Bstrengthen the USJapan military allianceCshow Japans greater military capability Dget rid of the dated marine weapon42.From the story
324、, we learn that_.Ano other countries except the USA and France possess aircraft carriersBJapan has long planned to increase its military capability with new weaponsCJapan will be the first country in Asia to have a nuclear aircraft carrierDJapan will be the third country to produce a nuclearpowered
325、aircraft carrier43The underlined word “unveiled” in the fifth paragraph probably means_.Aperfected Bdiscussed aboutCproduced Dbrought to viewCChina_is_going_green. In order to reduce air pollution and oilshortages, automobile manufacturers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽
326、车) for the Chinese market. Toyotas hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Lets have a look at the new car.Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are s
327、maller than traditional gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (匀速行驶). A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is
328、how much quieter it is than a traditional car. At this point, the cars gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gi
329、ves off.The onboard(车载的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油门), you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.The electronic motor recharge
330、s automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries. As a consequen
331、ce, the cars batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.44The author writes this passage mainly to_.Ateach people how to drive a hybrid car Bintroduce a new kind of “green” car Cshow how to save their gasoline when driving a car Dannounce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for China45The first sente
332、nce probably refers to _.Athere will be more and more green land in ChinaBChina is still young and lacking experience CChinas new cars are combinations of different green modelsDChina has started producing environmentally friendly cars46Which of the followings is NOT true?AThe hybrid cars reduce air
333、 pollution and oilshortages.BThe cars gasoline engine doesnt work until it reaches about 24 km/h.CThis kind of car is completely controlled by an onboard computer.DA specially designed battery motor provides extra power when needed.DAs civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it passes
334、the point of supplying all the basic essentials of lifefood, shelter, clothes and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs which have now been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work wh
335、ich a man must do in order to earn a given standard of living. In other words, we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours.I shall take it for granted that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter alter
336、native. Men will be working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living. It also follows that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist. Yet t
337、he great majority of the housewives will wish to be relieved completely from the routine operations of the home such as scrubbing the floors or the bath of the cooker, or washing the clothes or washing up, or dusting or sweeping, or making beds.By far the most logical step to relieve the housewife o
338、f routine is to provide a robot which can be trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen or more standard operations, when switched by the housewife.47As civilization develops in the direction of technology,_.Athe basic essentials of life must be

But with her soft voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. _51_ At
343、that time, the girl knew she had misspelled the word. But instead of lying and telling the judges she had said the correct letter, she told the truth that she had said the wrong letter. _52_ As the girl walked off the stage, the entire audience stood on their feet clapping to applaud her honesty. La
344、ter, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11yearold girls courage and honesty, even when it cost her the contest. _53_ Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would never get caught.This young girl could easily have lied, and nobody would ha
345、ve known it but her. But thats just it: She would know she did wrong. _54_ This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own conscience and character more than the prize from a spelling contest. Her respect for herself was more important than any respect others might give her for winning
346、a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the choice she made at the moment._55_ ASo she won the contest.BAs a result, she lost the contest.CThe judges wanted to give her another chance.DIts been said, “If you cheat, you make yourself cheap.”EIts so true that the choices you make t

Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family frie
367、nd. Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. “Im going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” Deluca recalls saying. “Buck said, you should open a sandwich shop.”That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research,
368、Buck wrote a check for $1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldnt cover their startup costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.But business didnt go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didnt know how badly, because we
369、 didnt have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. Theyd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm
370、 ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, We are so successful; we are opening a second store.” And they didin the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.But the partners learnasyougo appr
371、oach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and handdeliver the checks to pay their supplies. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasnt necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships establishe
372、d really helped out,” Deluca says.And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” Deluca adds.Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimilliondollar restaurant chain. 36Deluca opened the first sandwi
373、ch shop in order to _.Asupport his familyBpay for his college education Chelp his partner expand businessDdo some research 37Which of the following is true of Buck? AHe put money into the sandwich business. BHe was a professor of business administration. CHe was studying at the University of Bridgep
374、ort. DHe rented a storefront for Deluca. 38What can we learn about their first shop? AIt stood at an unfavorable place. BIt lowered the prices to poor management. CIt made no profits due to poor management. DIt lacked control over the quality of sandwich. 39They decided to open a second store becaus

It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching
377、 (紧握) at one anothers hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a w

They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn fro

All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth

You may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will

385、ctiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder,it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men;effort and ability were thought to account for their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less
386、integrity than unattractive ones;their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.Interestingly,though,the rise of the unattractive overnight succ

Their children cannot go to school because they had not enough money to send their children there. How do you think so many people still suffer from poverty now?
