1.We have no idea about when men first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout the history.

Take the eighteenth century for an example, if a person was caught stealing salt, he would be thrown into prison. History also records that only in England about ten thousand people were put into prison during that century for stealing salt! About one hundred and fifty years ago, in the year 1553, if a man took more than his share of salt, he would be thought to have broken the law and would be seriously punished.

7.Millions of words have been written about young people in the United States. There are reasons for this great interest in the ideas, feelings, and actions of youth.
  Today there are about seven million Americans in the colleges and universities. Young persons under twenty-five make up nearly half of the American population. Many of these will soon be in charge of the nation. Naturally, their ideas are important to everyone in the country, and it is necessary for older people to understand what they think and feel.
  College students today have strong opinions about right and wrong. They are deeply interested in making a better life for all people, especially for those who have not been given a fair chance before now. They see much that is wrong in the lives of their parents.

13.Today the official language of the United States and most of Canada is English. However, French almost became the official language because of a war.
  The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French.
  France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. How ever, the French defeated Washington.
  The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted the French and won the battle. Thus, most of North America today has the English culture and language.

19.Most cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8% , so if you buy a pair of $40 shoes you will actually have to pay $43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult ( not to mention making .everything more expensive). We say in America that only two things in life are unavoidable: one is death and the other taxes.
  Another thing that makes money exchanges more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don" t, the service person can" t earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much.
  There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something ( either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman and to your building "super" at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and colleagues.

The main idea of this passage is ______.

A．shopping and tipping
B．sales and shopping
C．sales taxes and tipping
D．sales taxes and people

20.
According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra ______ as sales tax.

A．$4.5
B．$4
C．$5
D．$5.50

21.
Usually, cab drivers ______.

A．get high wages from the employer
B．get great benefits from the employer
C．get low wages from the employer
D．get high bonus from the employer

22.
According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A．The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries.
B．The westerners don" t have to pay high tips in their own country.
C．Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped.
D．Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill.

23.

A．have no difference from place to place in the U. S.
B．a(chǎn)re over 15% in the U. S.
C．have been put an end in the U. S.
D．vary from place to place in the U. S.

25.We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? .... When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it" s too late.
  Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don" t really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You" re a lucky dog." That" s being friendly. But "lucky dog?" There" s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn" t see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn" t think you deserve your luck.
  "Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn" t important. It" s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven"t got a date for Saturday night.
  How can you tell the real meaning behind someone" s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

This passage is mainly about ______.

A．how to interpret what people say
B．what to do when. you listen to others talking
C．how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D．why we go wrong with people sometimes
