1.To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, but actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun.
  Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the Chinese were the first to use it in the eleventh century B. C.
  We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times , the umbrella was allowed to be used only by the king or by those in high office.
  In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as Protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England.
  By the 18th century the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrella have not changed much in style. during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn"t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas were made, in a whole variety of colors.

7.Parents have to do much less for their children than they used to do, and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made; washing can be done at the laundry; food can be bought cooked, canned; bread is baked and delivered by the baker; milk arrives on the doorstep; meal can be had at the restaurant, the work"s canteen, and the school dining room.
  It"s unusual now for father to persue (追求)his trade of other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom, trained to follow their father"s business, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money, and soon gains a feeling of economic independence (經濟上的獨立). In textile areas it bas been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now not an unusual factor in a child’s home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and older children drawing wages, father is seldom the most important figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of great value if mother’s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.

The writer compares home to a workshop because ______.

A．fathers often persue employment at home
B．many families produce goods at home for sale
C．both fathers and mothers in most families are workers
D．parents have to make food and necessity themselves for their daily life

8.
The "work’s canteen" is ______.

A．a food shop
B．a cafe
C．a restaurant
D．a cafeteria (自助餐廳)

9.
The main reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their father’s business is ______.

A．that children also like to have jobs outside
B．that there is a wide choice of employment for children
C．that father do not like to pursue employment at home anymore
D．that children nowadays rarely see their places of work

10.
What makes father no longer be the most important in a family?

A．Father does much less for his children today than he used to
B．The number of married women in employment has increased now
C．There are many choices of employment for mothers and children
D．With their earning, mother and children do not need to depend on father for their life

11.
It is implied in the passage that ______.

A．mothers have the practice to go to work
B．working mothers have no time to stay with their children at home
C．mother’s position in a family has been raised
D．young wage-earners are economically independent

13.In this game you are in a tank and a screen shows your outside view. You gain points by shooting enemy tanks, supertanks, missiles (火箭) and saucers (飛碟).
  Experts gain scores of around 150,000 points at this game. To get a high score you have to destroy twenty tanks as quickly as possible. After this the supertanks, missiles and saucers appear. These are worth far more points than the ordinary tanks. (The number of tanks you have to destroy before the supertanks appear are various on different machines.)
  Try to get near an enemy tank from the side or back so it cannot shoot at you. Then when you get close, turn to it, line it up in your sights and fire before it turns to shoot at you. If you miss or are too slow, quickly get away by moving out of the enemy’s line of life. You can then move around the enemy and come in from another side.
  When a supertank appears, try to destroy it. Then wait safely behind an obstacle(障礙物) for a missile or a flying saucer. The cubes are useful objects to hide behind as you can fire over them without exposing yourself to danger. The missiles will fly straight at you, but they are difficult to hit. So do not shoot at them until they are quite close. The saucers are much easier to hit, but do not chase (追逐 ) them as you will be open to shoot from enemy’s tanks.

This information refers to ______.

A．a computer game
B．an underwater game
C．how to use modem weapons on your enemies
D．an army training exercise

19.Advertisement can be thought of "as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services". Advertisement aims to increase people’s awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform. and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement.
  There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the Western World in this century. Many business such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tabacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement.
  We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is the customer who pays for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.
  It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertisement if they were not convinced of its value to them.

Advertisement is often used to ______.

A．deceive customers
B．increase production
C．push the sale
D．arouse suspicion
