I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair. The second shop, though slightly more poli

12、te, was just the same, and the third and the fourthso I decided that my approach must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair.

13、How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “Ill give you twenty pounds.” “Its got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, but its nothing.”Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will

24、on D. pays a higher salaryCHappy birthday! Do birthdays really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturityor so we hope. We all like to imagine that were getting wiser and not just

25、 older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? Thats a different story.Growing old is not ex

26、actly pleasant for people in youth-oriented American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “Youre as young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the a

27、ged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at age 65 brings a sharp decrease

28、 in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination (歧视). In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets.

29、 She was often treated rudelyeven cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living together. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly enter

30、ing the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are already noticing this group of consumers (消费者).28.

Companies will soon produce more goods for old Americans. D. The government will pass laws to ensure the benefits of the people.DTo many web-buildi

34、ng spiders, most of whom are nearly blind, the web is their essential window on the world: their means of communicating, capturing prey (猎物), meeting mates and protecting themselves. A web-building spider without its web is like a man cast away on an island of solid rock, totally out of touch and de

35、stined to starve to death. So important is the web to an orb-web spiders survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs daily even if it is being starved. For 16 days the starving spider builds completely normal webs. Then, as the animal gets scrawnier (憔悴的), it constructs a wider-mesh

36、ed web using fewer strands (线). Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more economical from the perspective of a starving spider. The spider stores energy by recycling web protein. It simply eats its own web each evening and re-uses it to produce new silk. In studies with radioactively labe

37、led materials, it was found that 95 percent of web protein reappears in the next days web. Most of the energy needed for web-building is used in walking over the strands as they are laid down. Scientists are impressed by the adaptability of the spiders highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger for

38、 its size than the brain of any other invertebrate (无脊椎动物). If web-building is interrupted, or if some of the existing strands are destroyed, the spider simply goes back to see where the web is left off and then finished building a normal web. One spider will even finish building the incomplete web

40、 good eyesight.B. One web-building spider usually conducts one web.C. Most spiders will stop conducting webs when hungry.D. Web-building spiders will probably die without their webs.34.
