单选题Dollars and cents are the basic units of American money．The back of all dollar bills are green(hence"greenbacks")．The commonly used coins are: one cent(penny), five cents(nickel), 10 cents(dime), and 25 cents(quarter)．50 pieces(half dollar)and silver dollars(not really silver anymore)are gaining in usage, while there has been talk of phasing out the penny—that's inflation for you．"Mways carry plenty of quarters when travelling．Very useful for phones, soda machines，laundry machines, etc." There is generally no problem in using us dollars in Canada, but this is never possible in reverse． It's always useful to carry small change for things like exact fare buses, but do not carry large sums of cash．Instead keep the bulk of your money in travellers’ cheques which can be purchased both in the us and abroad and should be in dollar denominations．The best known cheques are those of American Express, so you will have the least difficulty cashing these, even in out of the way places．Thomas Cook travellers'cheques are also acceptable, especially as lost ones can be reclaimed at some car rental companies．Dollar denomination cheques can be used like regular money. There's no need to cash them at a bank：use them instead to pay for meals，supermarket purchases or whatever．Ten or twenty dollar cheques are accepted like this almost always and you'll be given change just as though you'd presented the cashier with dollar bills．Be prepared to show I．D．when you cash your cheques． Credit cards can be even more valuable than travellers'cheques, as they are often used to guarantee room reservations over the phone and are accepted in lieu of deposit when renting a car—indeed without a credit card you may be considered so untrustworthy that not only a deposit but your passport will be held as security too． The major credit cards are VISA, MASTER Charge and ACCESS，Diners Club and American Express．If you hold a bank card，it could well be worthwhile to increase your credit limit for travel purposes—you should ask your bank manager．

单选题{{B}}Text 3{{/B}} In ancient times most cultures and civilizations made some reference to the origin of their languages. However, they did not study language by observation or experimentation--at least as far as we can judge from records that have survived to this day. Most comments on the origins of languages come to us in folk-tales or religious writings, but the Greek historian Herodotus tells us one experiment. An Egyptian king named Psammetichos wished to find out which was the world's oldest language. To gain this information he decided to isolate two newborn babies until they began to speak. Because they were kept from adults, they would have no patterns to imitate. The king made the assumption that the children would speak what was a natural language--which would be the oldest. After some months the children were heard to make a sound which was recorded as "bekos". This was found to be very similar to the Phrygian word for "bread". Therefore Phrygian (a language once spoken in Asia Minor) was considered to be the first language of mankind. At least by King Psammetichos, and, we may assume, by his court.

单选题 Steveland Morris is a household name in America. Ask Steveland Morris and he'll tell you that blindness is not necessarily disabling. Steveland was born prematurely(过早地，不到期的)and totally without sight in 1950s. He became Stevie Wonder—composer, singer, and pianist. The winner of ten Grammy awards, Stevie is widely acclaimed(喝采) for his outstanding contributions to the music world. As a child, Stevie learned not to think about the things he could not do, but to concentrate on the things that he could do. His parents encouraged him to join in his sighted brothers as many activities as possible. They also helped him to sharpen his sense of hearing, the sense upon which the usually disabled are so dependent. Because sound was so important to him, Stevie began at an early age to experiment with different kinds of sound. He would bang things together and then imitate the sound with his voice. Often relying on sound for entertainment, he sang, beat on toy drums, played a toy harmonica (口琴), and listened to the radio. Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments. He first learned to play the drums. He then mastered the harmonica and the piano. He became a member of the junior church choir(唱诗班) and a lead singer. In the evenings and on weekends, Stevie would play different instruments and sing popular rhythm and blues tunes on the front porches (走廊) of neighbors' homes. One of Stevie's sessions was overheard by Ronnie White, a member of a popular singing group called The Miracles. Ronnie immediately recognized Stevie's talent and took him to audition(试听) for Berry Gordy, the president of Hitsville USA, a large recording company now known as Motown. Stevie recorded his first smash hit "Fingertips" in 1962 at age twelve, and the rest of Stevie's story is music history.

单选题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 broken up with Helen?" "When I got that great job did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend?" "Or did be envy my luck?" "And Paul-- why didn't I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?" 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, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog." Is he really on your side? If he says, "You're a lucky guy" or "You're a lucky gal," 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" bit puts you down a little. What be may be saying is that be 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 you 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 square 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. Note: guy = boy; gal = girl
