We can search for interesting news, chat online with our best friends, order food, buy some necessities, check our bank account balance, cw. It also makes our work more convenient.

After having consumed more drink than they should, they decided to sleep it off by staying overnight in a hotel. The desk clerk charged them $30.00 for the room. Shortly afterwards the desk clerk realized that he had overcharged the three men by $5.00. He calls the bellboy over, gives him the $5.00 and explains to him that he had overcharged the three men and asked him to go up and give them the $5.00. On his way up, the bellboy thinks, "They will be happy to get a refund, so why don't I give them each $1.00? They will be happy and I will have picked up $2.00." But when he does that and gives each man $1.00, that means they only paid $9.00 each for the room, which is a total of $27.00; plus the $2.00 the bellboy pocketed is a total of $29.00. But they gave the desk clerk $30.00! Where did the extra $1.00 go?To solve the puzzle, you have to consider if it is a correct calculationto add "plus the $2.00 the bellboy pocketed."。

Property values 5. risen/gone up/increased by 30 percent Task 2: Can I have my change please? Tom was down on his luck and felt he needed a few drinks. Hw went to a bar and had several drinks. When he was done, he stood up and walked toward the door. The barman shouted after him, “Hey mister, are you going to pay for those drinks?” Tom turned around and replied, “I have already paid you,” and then walked out of the bar. Almost immediately he saw one of his friends Richard and told him about the barman, “Just go in there and drink all you want, then get up and leave. When the barman asks you to pay the bill, just tell him you have already paid.”This sounded easy enough, so Richard went in and has several drinks. The barman went to him and said, “Before you came in, another man was here. When I asked him to pay his bill, he told me he ’d paid, but I don ’t remember him paying me.”Richard Richard said, said, said, ““I I would would would love love love to to to stay stay stay and and and hear hear hear your your your story, story, story, but but but I I I don don don’’t t have have have time. time. time.

Sounds reasonable, doesn ’t it? Let ’s see if this will work by using an example. Let Let’’s pretend that all the students in your class make up the ENTER population of the country, and the teacher represents the government. Let ’s also pretend each student has exactly $1.00. Since we are in a recession, let ’s have the teacher, who represents the government, print money. He prints $1.00 more for everyone. Now everyone has $1.00 more to spend. More money to spend sounds like a great way to get us out of recession, since more money to spend means demand for goods and services. Then if that works, why don ’t we give MORE money away? How about $100? Now we have lots of money to spend. So no more recession, right? Not really, because we have only looked at one side of the problem. As more and more people receive more and more money, what ’ll happen? Since Since everyone everyone everyone has has has more more more money, money, money, the the the students students students all all all go go go shopping shopping shopping to to to spend spend spend that that that extra extra extra money. money. money. This This causes the demand for goods and services to rise, and people who sell goods and services raise price. For example, if you could buy a new music CD at $10 in the past, now the price could be $1,000! This is called inflation. So, the original reason for printing all this money was to help get us of recession, but we have only replaced one problem with another. 1.T 2.T 3.F 4.F 5.F IV .

He's supposed to be ready to go with my son and me to the big football game this afternoon.M: I'm sorry, Mrs. Stokes. I don't think that Billy is going to join you. He's upstairs playing on his computer.W: He doesn't seem to leave his room much anymore, does he?M: Not much. You're right. I bought that computer for him fifteen months ago for his thirteenth birthday. He's changed a lot since then. He doesn't even talk about anything else. And his mother and I don't understand him — not at all.W: But don't you think that it's at least a little good for him?M: No, I don't. I'm a little worried, to tell the truth. He has no other interests, he isn't doing well at school, and he doesn't even want to go to his classes.W: Maybe I'll get my son Michael to talk to him about it.M: It'd be nice if that would change things. I don't know what I'm going to do. Billy just seems to get worse and worse every day. But, maybe you should keep Michael away. I'd hate it if my son introduces him to computers.W: Oh, Michael knows all about computers. All of the kids do these days. Computers can help them with their work and are an important part of their lives, especially if they plan to go to college.M: He knows about computers, and doesn't spend all of his time on them? It'd be great if my son could learn to be like that. Please, have Michael talk to him.W: Sure thing. But right now I have to take Michael to the football game.M: OK, I'll see you later.Q 6: How old is Billy?Q 7: Why did Mr. Black buy the computer?Q 8: How has Billy changed since he got the computer?Q 9: Why doesn't Mrs. Stokes worry about her son Michael?Q 10: How would Michael help Billy according to the conversation?11) A 12) B 13) C 14) D 1 5) D听力文本：The marketplace of online dating, like it or not, is becoming more and more efficient. A magazine article forecast that, "Twenty years from now, the idea that someone looking for love without looking for it online will be silly, just like skipping the library card catalog to walk through the stacks of books and find the right ones only byaccident."Most recently, it has become common for online dating websites to provide webcam chats between members. In addition, as the online dating population becomes larger, sites aiming at specific groups of people are becoming more popular as a way to narrow the pool of potential matches. According to online dating expert Mark Brooks, some dating sites are adding features including handwriting analysis to match like-minded mates.In the past few years, several free dating sites, operating on ad-based revenue rather than monthly subscriptions, have appeared and become increasingly popular. Especially popular in Eastern Europe, some sites offer full access to messaging and profiles, but provide additional services for pay, such as moving paying users' profiles up to the top of the list, making their profiles appear several times in different places in the search results, and giving them a more advanced search engine to work with, and removing the advertisements. In one real example, free users may only search for persons of specified age, gender and city, while subscribers may search for any and all information listed in the profiles, such as height, weight, interests, etc.Q 11: Why does the speaker mention the library card catalog and book stacks?Q 12: Why is it necessary to narrow the pool of potential matches?Q 13: Why is handwriting analyzed, according to the passage?Q 14: What benefits can the paying users get?Q 15: Which of the following could best summarize the main idea of the passage?。
