Ban the Band(乐队)？

“I don’t 5it!”Amy cried out during the lunch break.

“Someone said the school couldn’t 6a band,and they think it’s too noisy anyway,”added Daniel.

“Well,I don’t think it’s 7enough without a band!”declared Angela,“and I’m going to see what can be done.”

Angela was as good as her 8.In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the 9some more thought.And he suggested that one 10for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from $5 to $10.Angela had to 11out whether the students would like to do that.

“I need all of you to help me,”she 12to our group before school the next day.“Mr.Berry gave me a list of all the names,and suggested we ask each one their 13about the band and the extra cost.”

14the day we asked around as Angela suggested,and wrote down people’s feelings about the band and the cost.We were amazed how much 15there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $5.

“I’m surprised,”smiled Mr. Berry,when we gave him the 16.“I really thought that only a few people 17their band and that the cost would be too high.OK,Angela,your next 18is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.”

Angela was all smiles and 19the news to Amy and Daniel.“You’re 20,”smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a less than perfect dance.

     Homebuyers nationwide are watching housing prices going up, up, and up. "How high can they go?"
Is the question on everyone's lips. "As long as interest rates stay around 5 percent, nothing might be able
to prevent housing prices going up," said one house seller in Santa Monica, California.
     "It's crazy," said Tim, who is looking for a house near the beach. "In 1993, I bought my first place,
a two－bedroom flat in Venice, for$70,000. My friends thought then that I was overpaying. Five years
later, I had to move. I sold it for $ 230,000, which was a nice profit. Last year, while visiting friends
here, I saw in the local paper that the exact same flat was for sale for $ 510,000!"
     It is a seller's market. Homebuyers feel like they have to offer at least 10 percent more than the
asking price. Donna, a new owner of a one－bedroom flat on Venice Beach, said, "That's what I did.
I told the owner that whatever anyone offers you, I'll give you $ 20,000 more under the table, so you
don't have to pay your house seller any of it. I was tired of negotiating with the house sellers."
     Tim says he hopes he doesn't get that desperate. "Whether you decide to buy or not, you still feel
like you made the wrong decision. If you buy, you feel like you overpaid. If you don't buy, you want to
kick yourself for passing up a great opportunity."
     Everyone says the bubble(气泡)has to burst sometime, but everyone hopes it will burst the day after
they sell their house. Even government officials have no idea what the future will bring. "All we can say is
that, clearly, these things go in regular cycles," said the state director of housing. "What goes up must
come down. But, as we all know, housing prices always stay up a little higher than they go down
(被接受). So you can't lose over the long run. Twenty years down the road, your house is always
worth more than you paid for it."

1. If Tim had sold his flat last year, he could have earned __________.

A. $ 510,000
B. $ 440,000
C. $ 280,000
D. $ 160,000

2. Donna paid another $ 20,000 to the owner secretly because __________.

A. she felt like offering 10% more
B. secret money made low price
C. the owner asked for the money
D. she was bored with bargaining

3. We can infer from Tim's words in Paragraph 4 that __________.

A. homebuyers feel hesitate facing rising house prices
B. buying a house is always a great opportunity
C. homebuyers never make the right decision
D. both sellers and buyers become desperate

4. Which of the following is TRUE about the housing bubble?

A. It is something everyone hates to see.
B. Only experts know when it will burst.
C. It is unavoidable in the regular circles.
D. It usually stays for about twenty years.
