Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the center. Questions 31 to 35 arc based on the following passage: Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something, his purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they went. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All being we1l, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.

For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else. He offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute directly, he does so with skill:"I know this jacket is not the sty]e you want, Sir! but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned." Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.” Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping not often based on need .She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only "having a look round". She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a 1aborious（费时的）process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands. 31. When a man is buying clothes, ___. A. he buys cheap things, regardless of quality B. he chooses things that others recommend C. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things D. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too expensive 32. What does a man do when he cannot get exactly what wants? A. He buys similar things of the color he wants. B. He usually does not buy anything. C. He tries on some other things, but never buys anything.

D. So long as the size is right, he buys the thing. 33. In commerce a good salesman is one who___. A. treats his customers kindly. B. always has in stock just what customers want C. does not waste his time on difficult customers D. sells something a customer does not particularly want 34. What does the passage tell us about women shoppers? A. They welcome suggestions from anyone. B. Women rarely consider buying cheap clothes. C. Women often buy things without giving the matter proper thought D. They listen to advice but never take it. 35. What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers? A. The fact that men do not try clothes on in a shop. B. Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not. C. Women stand up to shop, but men sit down. D. The time they took over buying clothes. Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem. As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today's relatively high standard of living, about ten percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs. For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children
