Today，I read an interesting article about television viewing．In one experiment，families were paid to stop watching TV for either a week or a month. Many could not complete the task and some families quarreled or even fought．It was quite interesting and now I will say something about TV．

After TV became a product most families could afford，people bought and started to watch their new TVs．Both adults and children became less creative in problem solving, less able to focus on tasks，and less tolerant of flexible time．

In my family，we grew up with the TV on．Every weekend，we watched Gun Smoke and Bonanza together as a family．TV provides us with a comfortable background when we want to learn a foreign language at home，and it entertains us cheaply with live action sports，incomparable performing arts and important events of the world．In addition，it educates us about everything from the cells in our body to the galaxies in the universe．

Perhaps it’s not even practical to live without television unless our views change unexpectedly as we get older．I don’t think that TV damages us so much as it robs us of time that could be spent doing other things such as learning new skills，getting some exercise or doing volunteer work．

I was lucky to have a family that watched TV together．Today there seems to be a TV in every room of the house and there’s no need to agree on a program to watch．To watch TV or not is more of a question for adults than for us，and even though we all say we want to cut down the time we spend in front of the tube，we never really do．TV has us hypnotized!

62. After most families could afford a TV they         ．

Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad众多方面的of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the “system” of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.
  If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define “price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words that price is the money values of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total “package” being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.

69. According to the first paragraph, what makes up the price system of the US?

 A. Labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility有益 services.

B. A complex network composed of the prices of all the products bough and sold in the economy and also those of a myriad of services.

C. Any particular product or service.

 D. To depend on “how resources are to be used”.

70. How many factors are there to define “Price”?

   A. more than 7  B. more than 8  C. more than 9  D. more than 10

71. Which statement is true according to the passage?

   A. Price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product.

   B. Price is the money value of a product.

   C. Price is not only an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service but the amount and quality of the product and other factors.

   D. Price is the asked-for amount of money.

72. What’s the best title of the passage?

   A. How Resources are to be Used.    B. The Price System

   C. The Factors of “Price”           D. The Definition of “Price”

Rescuers on Friday found the corpse of the last miner missing in the coal mine blast in northeast China, bringing the death toll to 108, the investigation authority said.

The body was recovered at about 4 p.m. Friday in the debris of a shaft at the Xinxing Coal Mine in Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province, said Zhang Jinguan, spokesman of the investigation team of the fatal accident.

The searching efforts had come to an end and workers were clearing up the mine shaft, said Zhang.

The blast ripped through the mine under the state-owned Heilongjiang Longmei Mining Holding Group's subsidiary in Hegang Saturday afternoon. A total of 528 miners were working underground when the blast happened, and 420 escaped from the scene.

Safety officials and investigators have blamed poor management and inadequate safety precautions for the coal mine blast.

By Thursday, relatives of 59 miners killed in the blast had signed compensation agreements with the mining company.

According to the compensation scheme, each family of the dead miner could get 102,600 yuan ($15,024) in allowances plus a compensation package of either a one-off 200,000 yuan payment, or a long-term scheme of 708 yuan a month for the spouse and 531 yuan a month for parents and children.
