Although the US is so big and its people have so many different racial backgrounds, it is in some ways less varied than Europe．The English language is used almost everywhere in its American form．The American way of speaking has developed independently of English and is on the whole closer to what can be heard in Ireland.

Another example of uniformity(一致)is in habits and ways of living．From Boston to Los Angeles it is as far as from France to Central Asia, and from east to west there are five time zones; but everywhere people get up and go to bed at about the same time, eat the same kind of food, buy in the same kind of shops, work and rest at the same time of the day and have the same pattern of holidays．In most of the things that matter there is less difference between rich people and ordinary people or between town and country, than in any single European nation.

Although far more food is produced than the present population needs, America is actually an urban society．Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in (從事) agriculture and most of the rest live in or around towns large and small．Here the traditional picture is changing; most Americans do not live in small towns any more．Half the population now live in some thirty metropolitan (大城市的) areas.

The fact that the United States has always been a single economic unit has contributed to uniformity．Modern industry favors large organization, and it is no accident that the world’s biggest commercial firms are American．The people can choose between the products of competing manufacturers (制造商) but the products are all much alike.

In describing the uniformity in the U.S．the author does not mention that the American people       .

A．get up and go to work at the same time   

B．spend their holidays in the same pattern

C．buy and eat the same kind of food

C．It is now going backward.

D．It is quite developed.

B．a(chǎn) single economic unit produces the same kind of products

The Friday after the American holiday of Thanksgiving is called Black Friday. It’s said that it’s the day that store ledgers(分類賬)move into the black and companies become profitable. On that day, retailers slash(砍) prices to get consumers to buy.  It is also a time when many Americans start their Christmas shopping. VOA’s Elizabeth Lee tells us how the economy may affect consumers on that bargain day.
This day should be a shopper’s dream. “It’s just the deals, the sales and everything you can get for a lesser price,” said Sandy Thomas, a shopper. But it’s a nightmare for others. “I think it’s crazy. I’ve done all of my shopping throughout the week so I don’t have to go out on Friday,” she said. It’s called Black Friday, the start of the traditional Christmas shopping season in the United States. Every year it’s the day after the Thanksgiving holiday. Stores open before sunrise and there are deep discounts everywhere you look.
Last year a crowd of bargain-hunters killed a Wal-mart worker in a New York suburb. This year, many stores are increasing security while they slash prices. “This is a huge time for the retail stores,” said Fred Joutz from George Washington University. “This is when they begin making their profits for the year.”
Economics professor Fred Joutz says how Americans spend the weekend after Thanksgiving is a good indication of how consumers feel about the future.
With the unemployment rate above 10 percent, Joutz says Americans are saving more and spending less. Some retailers are attracting consumers by opening on Thanksgiving Day, when shops are traditionally closed.  Other stores open their doors anywhere from midnight to four in the morning.
And shoppers will be lining up in front of the doors in order to be one of the first ones to walk through and get a big discount. Electronics like flat screen TVs are usually the first items to go. Sandy Thomas says it’s an annual family tradition and well worth it. “I just save maybe half of what I would have spent on a regular, you know, shopping trip,” she said.
Economists say U.S. consumers will spend money this Black Friday, but they will spend it more carefully.
【小題1】By saying “This day should be a shopper’s dream”, the writer means ________ .

A．shoppers have longed for this day for a long time
B．the shops will be very crowded on that day
C．the shops will keep open until the daybreak of next day
D．shoppers can buy many items at low prices on that day
【小題2】Why are many stores increasing security according to the passage?
A．Because there are too many people saving more and spending less.
B．Because it’s a time when they begin making their profits for the year.
C．Because last year a crowd of bargain-hunters caused an accident.
D．Because many stores open their doors from midnight to four a.m.
【小題3】From the passage we know that_________.
A．Christmas shopping is traditional time and this year it is no exception.
B．Electronics like flat screen TVs are usually least discounted.
C．The economy only affects consumers on that bargain day.
D．Thanksgiving is a good indication of how consumers feel about the future.
【小題4】We can find this passage in_________.
A．a(chǎn) science fiction
B．a(chǎn) travel brochure
C．a(chǎn)n economic research report
D．a(chǎn) book on psychology
【小題5】Why American people call it a black day?
A．Because they organize activities in honor of some great person.
B．Because there are too many people going out shopping for Christmas.
C．Too many people are celebrating Thanks giving.
D．The sky is black that day.
