15．Stonehenge is probably the most important prehistoric monument in Britain．The Stonehenge we see today is the final stage that was completed about 3，500 years ago．
The first Stonehenge was a large earthwork，consisting of a ditch（沟），bank and the Aubrey holes，all probably built around 3，100BC．The holes themselves were not for the purpose of graves，but as a part of religious ceremony．
The second stage of Stonehenge started around 2，150BC．About 82 bluestones，some weighing 4tons each，is thought to have been carried by water along the south coast of Wales and up the rivers Avon and Frome，before being dragged overland again to near Warminster，about 6miles away．The final stage of the journey was mainly by water，down the river Wylye to Salisbury，then the Salisbury Avon to west Amesbury．These stones were set up in the center to form an incomplete double circle．
The third stage of Stonehenge，about 2，000BC，saw the arrival of the Sarsen stones，which were almost brought from Avebury，about 25 miles north of Stonehenge．
The final stage took place soon after 1，500BC when the bluestones were rearranged on the horseshoe and circle that we see today．

Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world，in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers, hoping to sell their products.

The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.

It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.

1.What does the author try to argue in Paragraph l?

A. The practice of choice is difficult.

B. The right of choice is given but at a price.

C. Choice and right exist at the same time.

D. The exercise of rights is a luxury.

2.Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?

A. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.

B. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.

C. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice.

D. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.

3.By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that___________.

A. products of the latest design flood the market

B. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry

C. everyday goods need to be replaced often

D. advanced products meet the needs of people

4.What is this passage mainly about?

A. The opinions on people's right in different countries.

B. The problems about the availability of everyday goods.

C. The helplessness in purchasing decisions.

D. The variety of choices in modern society.
