"The price of books for our students is just getting higher and higher and, along with the risingcost of tuition ( 学费), it ' s killing these students," said Peter Jason, a college professor."Remember, students are one of the poorest groups of people in America. Almost half of them have atleast one part-time job. In fact, one of my students has three jobs. And she still manages to have highscores and go to school full-time. "

Textbook prices are usually high. Adding to that problem, many college teachers change textbooks year after year;they either upgrade to a new edition(版本) or change to a different textbook. This furtherhurts students because if a teacher no longer uses a textbook,that book has no resalevalue.

Dr. Jason decided to make life a little easier and a lot cheaper for his students by writing hisown book on public speaking. "Many books have an increased price because of CD-ROMs, lots ofcolor photographs and pictures. I talked to my students, and many of them, like me, prefer to keepthings simple. So, a few years ago, I wrote my own textbook. I made sure that it was simple. Comparedto most of other public speaking books, mine is half the number of pages, and one-third the price.That is $30 instead of $90. When I wrote a second edition last year,students only had to buy the_35new pages. For only $7.00, they had almost a new book. "

39. What did Dr. Jason say about students at college?

A. They are short of money.

B. They need simple books.

C. They have no part-time jobs.

D. They are trying to get high scores.

40. What does "that problem" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

B. The low resale value of books.

C. Too many different new books.

D. No color pictures in textbooks.

41. What did Dr. Jason decide to do to help the students?

A. To choose cheaper textbooks.

B. B. To write a textbook himself.

C. To speak to his students.

D. To use old textbooks.

42. How much does a public speaking book usually cost?

A. About 7 dollars.

B. About 30 dollars.

C. About 37 dollars.

D. About 90 dollars.

We don't have beds in the space shuttle (航天飞机), but we do have sleeping bags. During theday, when we are working, we leave the bags tied to the wall, out of the way. At bedtime we untiethem and take them wherever we' ve chosen to sleep.

On most space shuttle flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake towatch over the space plane;the shuttle' s computers and the engineers at the Control Office do that.If anything goes wrong, the computers ring a warning bell and the engineers call us on the radio.

On the space shuttle, sleep-time doesn ' t mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute flightaround the earth, the sun "rises" and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes;then it"sets" as our flight takes us around the dark side of the Earth. To keep the sun out of our eyes, wewear black sleep masks (眼罩).

It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space, and we sleep differently. Somesleep upside down,some sideways,some right side up. When it's time to sleep,I take my bag,my sleepmask, and my. tape player with earphones and float up to the flight platform. Then I get into the bag, andfloat in a sitting position just above a seat,right next to a window. Before I pull the mask down over myeyes,I relax( 放松)for a while,listening to music and watching the Earth go by under me.

When I' m in space I don' t need as much sleep as I do on Earth. Maybe that' s because whenI am weightless,I don' t feel as tired. Or maybe it' s because I' m excited to be in space and don' twant to waste time sleeping.

43. What do the shuttle people do with their sleeping bags while working?

A. Keep them where they work.

B. Leave them where they sleep.

C. Place them on the beds.

D. Fix them to the wall.

44. During sleeping time, the job of watching over the shuttle is done by

A. the shuttle' s radio

B. the shuttle' s warning bell

C. people working in the shuttle

D. engineers at the Control Office

45. How often does the sun rise to people in the space shuttle?

A. Every 140 minutes.

B. Every 90 minutes.

C. Every 50 minutes.

D. Every 40 minutes.

46. What do we know about people sleeping in the space shttle?

A. They sleep while listening to music.

B. They have difficulty falling asleep.

C. They sleep in different positions.

D. They go to sleep when it is dark.

You have probably seen ads (广告in newspapers or on TV for mail-order shopping. Perhapsyou have been sent a catalogue( 商品目录)and have bought something by mail. Why do people buythings they have not seen with their own eyes? One of the reasons might be that some people behevethat things can be bought more cheaply by mail. Another advantage of mail-order shopping is that itis more comfortable to sit at home and look through a catalogue than to rush around the stores. Withthe catalogue from a large company, you have your own shop window for almost everything you mightwant to buy.

The mail-order business is very wide-spread. Some companies hire people to show productslisted in the catalogue to possible customers.Perhaps you have had one of these people call you orcome by your home.

Buying from a catalogue is so easy. It saves the shopper time and trouble. Sometimes, it savesthe shopper money. But people often buy more than they can really afford, since they can buy nowand pay later on. Some companies allow a customer to pay for a product over a long period of time.People can also pay a certain percent of the total price. This is called a down payment. Then thecustomer pays a certain amount of money every month until the product is completely paid for. People'can buy almost everything by mail-order shopping--furniture, tools and even heavy machines.

A. they think the price is lower

B. they enjoy the shopping service

C. they can get catalogues they want

D. they can buy things from big companies

48. What do we know about mail-order business from the text?

A. Mail-order shopping is very common nowadays.

B. Mail-order companies respect their customers.

C. Shopping by mail causes trouble to old people.

D. Companies spend a lot of money sending catalogues.

49. What might be a big problem for mail-order customers?

A. It' s possible to get what they don' t like.

B. It' s easy to buy more than they can pay for.

C. They may fail to get what they have paid for.

D. They will wait for a long time to get the product.
