And this main question for the poor of England—for the poor of all countries—is wholly omitted in every writing on the subject of wealth. Even by the laborers themselves, the operation of capital is regarded only in its effect on their immediate interests, never in the far more terrific power of its appointment of the kind and the object of labor. It matters little, ultimately, how much a laborer is paid for making anything, but it matters fearfully what the thing is which he is compelled to make. If his labor is so ordered as to produce food, fresh air, and fresh water, no matter that his wages are low, the food and the fresh air and water will be at last there, and he will at last get them. But if he is paid to destroy food and fresh air, or to produce iron bars instead of them, the food and air will finally not be there, and he will not get them, to his great and final inconvenience. So that, conclusively, in political as in household economy, the great question is not so much what money you have in your pocket, as what you will buy with it and do with it.

A.it is an act of robbery.

听力原文:M: Sally, how are you doing?
W: I'm doing fine. I've spent the last two years studying Chinese literature on the lovely coast. I could not have made a better choice, as I really enjoy everything about being here except the lack of snow, of course!
M: Why did you choose to study Chinese literature?
W: Well, my parents are China scholars, and since I was very young I've been interested in China, especially Chinese culture.
I have always believed that a country's literature reveals a lot about its culture.
M: What do you like about your study?
W: What I like most is that we have group work, presentations and assignments as well as seminars and lectures. These variations enable interaction and discussion among the students.
M: Say something more about the place of your study, will you?
W: It's a great student town bemuse of its size and nightlife. You will not experience being lost or lonely here. Unfortunately for some, there is a lack of opportunities for those interested in art.
M: I guess it's still a wonderful place.
W: It sure is. It can offer friendly people, a gorgeous beach, powerful waves and a fresh sea breeze. Nothing else can refresh you more than a walk by the beach!

My interest in Chinese food started years a90,when l was a young reporter for the Washington Post.Our office Wasn’t far from Chinatown,where I found some very good Chinese restaurants.
The first time I ever ate Chinese food I loved it.I noticed the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables.When I learned more about the food,I began to understand why it has this special feature.
Many years ago,China had an energy crisis(危机)because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests.This loss was very bad for the country,of course,but it turned out to be very good for the food.Wood became very expensive and hard to get,so the Chinese had to either find a substitute(替代物)for their valuable wood,or learn how to use it better.There weren’t any substitutes so people found ways to—economize.
In order to economize in cookin9,they had to use very little wood.So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil.That way,the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel。The food prepared in this way kept its fresh flavor(味道)一and its this flavor that attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.
This text is mainly about__________.
A.what caused Chinese food to taste fresh
B.how Chinese food is cooked in the US
C.when the author started to make Chinese food
D.why most foreigners like cooking Chinese food
A.Fight Against Nature
B.Attractions of the Poles
C.A Survivor’S Story
D.A Brave Woman
Passage 2 On a highway, behind the gate of a vast garden, at the end of which could be discerned the white hues of a pretty manor house bathed in sunlight, was a beautiful, fresh child, clad in those country clothes that are so coquettish. Luxury, freedom from cares, the habitual sight of richest make such children so pretty that one is tempted to consider them molded of a different substance from the children of mediocrity and poverty. Beside him, lying on the grass, was a splendid toy, as fresh as its owner, varnished, gilded, clad in a crimson cloak and covered with plumes and glass beads. But the child was taking no notice of his favorite toy, and this is what he was looking at: On the other side of the gate, out on the roadway, among the nettles and thistles, was another child, dirty, sickly, soiled with soot, one of those pariah-kids in whom an impartial eye would discover beauty, as the eye of a connoisseur can divine an ideal painting underneath a layer of tarnish, if only the repugnant patina of poverty were washed away. -- From “The Poor Child’s Toy” by Charles Baudelaire. The author most likely mentions the physical appearance of the impoverished child in the last paragraph in order to:
A、identify the cause of the child’s poverty.
B、intensify the reader’s sympathetic reaction toward the child.
C、criticize a social upbringing that would allow a child to suffer in such a way.
D、contrast the poverty of the second child with the privilege of the first.
听力原文: As the proverb says, "No one knows the value of health until he loses it." In other words, nothing is more valuable than health.
It is clear that health is the foundation of one's future success. If you become sick, it is nearly impossible to pursue your career effectively, much less to make your dreams come true. On the other hand, if you are strong, you can go all out to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead of you. Health is the resource of our energy. What should we do to maintain our health? First, we should exercise every day to strengthen our muscles. Second, we might as well keep good hours, ff we get up early, we can breathe fresh air and see the sunrise. This habit can do wonders for our outlook on life. Third, there is a proverb that says, "Prevention is better than cure." ff you pay close attention to your health, you can avoid getting sick, or at least cure yourself of a disease while it is still in its beginning stage.
In conclusion, health is more important than wealth. Those who are rich but poor in health are on more fortunate than those who are poor, but healthy in body. If you want your wish to come true, health is the most important component of your success.

Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables are superior to those purchased from markets. From spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet.
Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.
Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.
One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house, so the gardener can work in it whenever they are free.
Soils for vegetables should be easily broken up and porous (多孔的) for quick water drainage and good aeration(透气). Usually the home owner has little choice in the type he can choose.
Fortunately, many vegetables can be grown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.
Many people find home gardening______.
A.expensive and boring
B.interesting and enjoyable
C.time consuming and inconvenient
D.neither interesting nor enjoyable
