1.The Medicine For Inflation
For years,prices have risen in China for many reasons.However,inflation (通貨膨脹) has not badly affected people's lives because living standards have improved.Inflation is not an unbeatable beast.In fact,economists from all over the world have found ways to stop or reduce it.There are now several methods of controlling inflation.
Reduce the amount of money being issued
Many experts believe inflation happens because too much money is printed.The more money the central bank issues,the more inflation there is.Therefore,the most important thing to do for any government is to control the amount of money being issued.
Cut down on government spending and increase government income
Over-spending and over-expanding of governments can make inflation worse.Therefore it is helpful to reduce the size of big government bodies,cut down on their spending and pay fewer and smaller subsidies (津貼) to prevent inflation from accelerating.
Slow down the increase of salaries
It seems that giving bigger salaries to workers helps them manage when prices of their shopping are going up.In fact,as salaries increase,the central bank will have to issue more money to pay for the increase.Thus,increasing salaries may not be so good as it sounds.It's like cheating.Salaries should only be increased if workers produce more.
Increase bank interests
Interest increases can make more people put more money into banks.At the same time,enterprises take out fewer loans.Demand for money on the whole is lower.
Keep prices under strict control
Prices can be lowered by setting a ceiling--the highest prices--for most goods and freezing prices on most goods.

63.The word"issue"in Paragraph 3meansB.
A.use      B.print       C.quarrel      D.invent
64.The writer uses"medicine"to stand forA.
A.ways to reduce inflation          B.reasons for inflation
C.something to treat patients       D.prices without control
65.What is probably the best way to reduce inflation?D
A.No money will be issued.
B.Salaries will be reduced.
C.More products will be produced.
D.Prices will be controlled.
66.The article does not mentionDas a way of reducing inflation.
A.controlling prices
B.a(chǎn)djusting bank interests
C.controlling the amount of money being issued
D.improving people's living standards.

18.Make Albertsville Shine
After a long and snowy winter,spring has finally come to Albertsville.The leaves are out on the trees,and the grass is green again.All around town,people are cleaning up their homes.They are pulling weeds and planting flowers.They are sweeping yards and washing windows.Before long,Albertsville will look as fresh and shiny as a new coin,right?
Definitely not.Just take a look at the streets and sidewalks around town.There is litter everywhere:fast food wrappers,soft drink cans,plastic bags,and more.This litter is dirty and ugly.It takes the shine off our lovely town.

Sure,the volunteers work hard,but they also get to enjoy the beauty of their town.Better yet,they feel proud of themselves for making their town a better place to live.
So what are the people of Albertsville waiting for?Talk to people in your school,church,or club about adopting part of a street or road.Then get to work!If enough volunteer groups get busy,Albertsville really will shine this spring.

16.A year ago August,Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan.His wife,Gerrie,was still working in the local school cafeteria,but work for Dave was scarce,and the price of everything was rising.The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years.Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift-$7,000,a legacy (遺產(chǎn)) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch,who died in an accident."It really made a difference when we were going under financially."says Dave.
But the Fusses weren't the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches.Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches'generosity.In some cases,it was a few thousand dollars; in other,it was more than$100,000.
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money,more than$3 million-they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
Children of the Great Depression,Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.They thrived on(喜歡)comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store,checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years,the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn't afford it."Ish and Arlene never asked whether you needed anything,"says their friend Sand Van Weelden,"They could see things they could do to make you happier,and they would do them.
    Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed.It was the Hatches'wish that their legacy-a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents-should enrich the whole community and Ish and Arlene Hatch's story.

56.According go the text,the FussesB.

B.They wanted to save money.
C.They couldn't afford expensive things.                
D.They wanted to buy gifts for local kids.
