Some scientists have predicted that healthy adults and children may one day take drugs to improve their intelligence and intellectual performance A research group has suggested that such drugs might become as common as coffee or tea within the next couple of decades
To counter this, students taking exams might have to take drugs tests like athletes There are already drugs that are known to improve mental performance, like Ritalin, which is given to children with problems concentrating A drug given to people with trouble sleeping also helps people remember numbers
These drugs raise serious legal and moral questions, but people already take vitamins to help them remember things better, so it will not be a simple problem to solve It will probably be very difficult to decide at what point a food supplement becomes an unfair drug in an examination
What does the passage mainly discuss?
A drugs for students B intelligence and intellectual performance C how to become more intelligent D drugs that improve mental performance
The word “such” refers to _
A adults and children B the research group that develop the drugs C drugs with coffee or tea D pills that help improve mental performance
The word “this” refers to _
A drug B performance
C drug-taking to improve mental performance D the research group
According to the passage, which statement is true?
Only children would take pills to improve their intellectual performance Intelligence pills are already as common as coffee or tea
A sleeping pill helps people remember numbers Food supplements are unfair
The word “athletes” is the closest in meaning to _
A SportspersonsB healthy adults C old people D drug addicts
According to the passage, which statement is NOT true? Students could have to take intelligence drugs tests Vitamins help people remember things better Ritalin improves children’s concentration
No drugs can improve people’s mental performance The word “moral” is the closest in meaning to _
A valuable B controversial C ethical D illegal
The word “supplement” is closest in meaning to _
A intelligence drug B addition C addiction D supply
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A Tea is as common as coffee B Children can’t remember well
C Using drugs is unfair D Drugs can improve people’s memory
The passage would most likely be followed by details about _
A Examples of unfair drug in examination B Vitamins
C Legal and moral drug D Examination
(12)When gas station manager Roger Randolph realized it was costing him money each time someone filled up with $4-a-gallon gas, he a sign on his pumps: “No more credit cards” He may be the first in West Virginia to ban plastic, but gas station operators nationwide are reporting similar woes as higher prices translate into higher credit card fees the managers must pay, squeezing profits at the pump “The more they buy, the more we lose,” said Randolph, who manages Mr Ed's Chevron in St Albans “Gas prices go up, and our profits go down” His complaints target the so-called interchange fee — a percentage of the sale price paid to credit card companies on every transaction The percentage is fixed — usually at just under percent — but the dollar amount of the fee rises with the price of the goods or services As gas tops $4 a gallon, that pushes fees toward 10 cents a gallon Now stations, which typically mark up gasoline by 11 to 12 cents a gallon, are seeing profits shrink or even reverse
In a good month, Randolph's small operation would yield a $60 profit on gasoline sales But that’s been buried as soaring prices forced the station to pay about $500 a month in interchange fees “At these prices, people aren’t making any money,” said Jeff Lenard, spokesman for the Alexandria, Va.-based National Association of Convenience Stores “It’s brutal” Lenard's group reports convenience stores paid roughly $7.6 billion in credit card fees last year, while making $3.4 billion in profits
(©AFP 11/02/2008)

A They prefer the “instant gratification” of getting cash B Credit fraud C High credit card interchange fees D Soaring prices

How much profit does the average gas station owner make on a gallon of gas?
A About $4 B About 2% C 11 to 12 cents D 10 cents
The word “so-called” is closest in meaning to _
A suggested B name C defined D commonly named
The phrase “in a good month” refers to _
A the profit of gas business B a period of time yielding profit
C a nice month D a month with soaring prices
The word “shrink” is closest in meaning to _
A become smaller B decrease C booming D opposite
The word “spokesman” is closest in meaning to _
A communicator B lecturer C sales manager D marketer
Which of the following could be inferred from the passage? People are making profits from buying gas with higher prices

(13)night The prefecture of Saitama, which borders Tokyo, may follow in the footsteps of the western city of Kyoto and urge convenience stores to close during late night hours in an effort to limit carbon dioxide emissions, Japanese media reported
Kyoto, a former capital, wants to persuade convenience and other 24-hour stores to close late at night so as to improve evening views of the city and cut down on energy use The Nikkei business daily said closures could last from 11 p.m to a.m The move is strongly opposed by the industry, which fears a withering impact on an already troubled sector also grappling with the specter of a higher tobacco tax, which could hit overall sales
“Even if we only operate the stores for 16 hours, we can't stop the refrigerators,” said Toshiro Yamaguchi, the president of Seven-Eleven Japan Co, which is owned by Seven & I Holdings Co Ltd, at a news conference in Saitama on Tuesday He said such cuts in operating hours would reduce each store's profit by 20 percent “If this happens, our current business model will lose its foundation”
Analysts said that while it is difficult to estimate the potential impact of the move without a concrete plan, their overall impression was that it was likely to be negative “This could cut profits and lead to less efficient operations and the increased loss of opportunities," said Masafumi Shoda, an analyst at Nomura Securities "But it depends on the store - urban stores better than others There are some in the countryside that are inefficient”
Some have suggested that if governments were sincere about reducing carbon emissions there were much more efficient methods, such as cutting back on the huge number of automatic vending machines
(©AFP 10/27/2008)

A Saitama B Tokyo C Kyoto D Prefecture of Saitama

A A district administered by a prefect B A land
C A city D A commune

C Not very well D It depends
According to the article, which convenience stores are generally more successful?
A The ones in big cities B The small ones in the countryside C The ones that sell alcohol D The big ones in the countryside

on the earnings of a typical store?
