Directions: The passage is followed by ten statements. Decide whether the following statements are true or false: (每题2分,共10题)
The Weekend
In the United States,Monday is the beginning of a workweek.It is the day that most Americans like least.It is not surprising then that the day they 1ike best is Saturday.It is the beginning of the weekend.And the weekend is the time for fun.Life is different on the weekend.
Most Americans do not work on Saturday and Sunday.Instead,they take care of their house, car or garden.They get up late in the morning.They enjoy the feeling that the time seems to move more slowly.People may have many duties at home on the weekend,yet they still feel freer.The week is for things that you have to do.The weekend is for things that you like to do.Families might get in a car and go for a drive in the country.They might take part in sports activities outdoors.And on Saturday night they might go to a restaurant or to the movies.
A Canadian writer notes that the idea of the weekend is a recent invention.Even the word itself was not invented until the 1870s.At that time only wealthy people talked about weekends. For most people back then,however,the workweek was six days 1ong.
Automobile maker Henry Ford was the first major employer in the United States to establish a workweek of five days.He did that in 1926. He thought that, if working people had more free time,they would spend more money.And that would be good for the economy.One thing helped the idea spread rapidly.It was the Great Depression in the 1930s.Americans had little money to buy things during the depression,so there was 1ess demand for goods and services.This in turn 1ed to reduced working-hours for those who still had jobs.
By the 1940s,it had become common for most Americans to work eight hours a day,five days a week. Work ended Friday evening. It did not begin again until Monday morning.Today the 1ives of most Americans are organized that way.Five days of work or school are followed by two days of rest.For many people,Saturday night is the high point at the weekend because the night does not fo11ow or come before a day of work.So it is the night for going out and having fun.
Decide whether the following statements are true or false:
71. Some people in the United States dislike Monday. T
72. Life is not the same on the weekend. F
73. Most Americans take care of their house, car or garden on weekend. T
74. At weekend, time seems to move very quickly. T
75. Families might play sports or do outdoor activities. F
76. The word “weekend” was invented before the 1870s. T
77. For most people in the 1870s, the workweek was 6 days long. T
78. Henry Ford thought that if working people had more free time, they would stay home and save money. F
79. The Great Depression in the 1930s helped the idea of five-day workweek spread rapidly. T
80. For most Americans, work ended Friday evening, and started again Monday morning by the 1940s. T

Las Vegas
Las Vegas is an American city. It is increasing its population faster than any other city in the country. It is the city that is increasing its popularity as a ho1iday area for families. It is the city in the western desert of the United States.
The U.S. government recently reports that Las Vegas is the fastest growing city in the U.S. The population increased by 14% between 1990 and 1992. The city now has more than 970,000 inhabitants.
There are several reasons why people are moving to the city. The weather is always warm and sunny. There are many jobs in the building industry and in the hotels. There are no earthquakes. And people do not have to pay taxes on the money they earn.
The number of people who visit the city has increased by 100% in the past ten years. More than 23 million people visit it every year. It is a famous place for people who 1ike to gamble. People from all over the country go to Las Vegas with a hope of winning lots of money. But actually, most of them lose money.
It is a city of hotels. In recent years, some of the biggest hotels in the world have been built there. They provide special rooms where people can gamble, a11 kinds of special shows for adults, and entertainments for children and families.
It is said that the local Indians first 1ived there. Spanish people came in 1829.They found a place where water rose in the grounds. It was full of grass, other plants and trees. So they named the place Las Vegas. It is a Spanish word for a green field. But it is no longer a green field.
City officials say there is one problem that limits the growth of the city. That is the lack of water. It is a desert area and there isn’t much rain every year, but water use is very high. Many farmers do not 1ike the wasteful use of water in the city.
Decide whether the following statements are true or false:
71. The population of Las Vegas increased by 14% in 1990.
72. People like the city because the weather there is warm and sunny.
73. But people don’t have to pay taxes on the things they buy.
74. The number of people who visit the city has doubled in the past ten years.
75. People from all over the country go to Las Vegas to win a lot of money.
76. Las Vegas does not have enough hotels.
77. Hotels provide all kinds of special shows for adults, but nothing for children and families.
78. Spanish people came in 1829.
79. The local Indians gave the place the name “Las Vegas”.
80. City officials say one problem that limits the growth of the city is the lack of water.

Jane is from a bilingual family. Her parents are Chinese, but her mother was born in Thailand and they live in Bangkok. At home, her parents communicate in Chinese. However she speaks only Thai with them. She speaks little Chinese and perhaps understands a little more.
She started learning English as a foreign language at seven. At school, English was taught in a traditional way -- translation, pattern drills and grammar. They had one English lesson a day.
She kept on learning English like this until she was eighteen. Then she decided to go to Canada to study it. There are two reasons for her to learn good English there:
1. She wants to do business like her father in the future;
2. People are respected and feel superior in her society if they can speak English well.
Jane attended language classes three times a week for a period of three hours each time. The content of teaching was grammar as well as conversation. Jane said that it was only through classroom teaching that she got an insight into the structure of the language. She thought it was fairly easy to learn some grammar aspects, such as tenses, as she heard them being actually used outside the classroom.

Jane attended language classes three times a week for a period of three hours each time in Canada. The content of teaching was grammar as well as conversation. Jane said that it was only through classroom teaching that she got an insight into the structure of the language. She thought it was fairly easy to learn some grammar aspects, such as tenses, as she heard them being actually used outside the classroom.
