HONG KONG-Nine out of ten Singapore citizens returned dropped wallets with

money in them, but in Hong Kong only three out of 10 wallets were returned in an

honesty test carried out in Asian cities by Readers Digest.

Larger cities did worse while in general people in smaller places returned secretly planted wallets, results from the experiment showed. Readers Digest secretly

scattered 140 wallets allover Asia, each with a name, address and phone number, family pictures, notes and money in it.

The magazine workers then watched to see what happened. South Koreans in Seoul returned six out of the ten dropped wallets, while those in Inchon returned eight. 50 per cent of the dropped wallets were returned in Bombay, Bangkok, Taipei and Kajang in

Malaysia, with most people saying they would not keep what was not rightfully

theirs. Honesty had little relation to wealth or status(地位), as several well-dressed people in a number of cities were observed to walk away without doing anything to get in touch with the rightful owners.

About 57 per cent of the wallets were returned, compared with 28 per cent in

Europe in a similar experiment and 67 per cent in the United States.

II. 阅读理解（Reading comprehension）（共20小题，计35分）
A）选择题：阅读下面短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。（答案涂在答题纸上）
A

Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood, in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry there is called “Bollywood”. Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywood—more than 800 films a year. The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, adventure, mystery, and romance. Because Bollywood films contain so many different features, this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film. (“Masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices. ) Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way the movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script is even finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it.

Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot scenes for several films on the same day using the same clothes and scenery (舞台布景）. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average Bollywood film, with a budget （预算） of only two million U.S. dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget of sixty million U.S. dollars for a Hollywood film—thirty times as much!

第二节：读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

“Depend on yourself”is what nature says to everyone. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.

There have been great men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhoods and no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend upon them for an education. They saw how it was, and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way up to fame.

One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils. “I can not make worthy men of you but I can help you make men of yourself.”

But some young men tend to totally depend on others to help them out. They can never achieve much unless they see their weak points and change their course. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers and depend on their own honest efforts.
