2019-2020年高一英語暑假閱讀天天練 第七天 When you buy a T-shirt, or a fur coat in a store, it often carries a label(標簽) telling who made it or from what store it was bought. Indeed, some labels show the dress is famous and it is very expensive, so buyers secretly wish they might be carried for ever. On the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products(產(chǎn)品) would be pleased to do away with labels entirely. However, There is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was bought. When a person buys a fur coat, or a jacket, from a store, a label telling what the product is made of should be carried to it. This label is required by law. Besides telling what the product on show is made of, the label should be in clear English and be where one can find it easily. The information on the label must be the truth. The reason for this label is that most buyers today aren’t expert enough to know exactly what kind of fur or material they are buying. The buyer must believe in the store that sells the products or in what the labels say. 1. The law requires that furs carry a _______. A. clean label B. clear label C. white label D. secret label 2. In the article, the author says a little about _______. A. black — market furs B. managers’ office C. chemical laboratories D. clothing stores 3. This article mainly refers to _______.

Not all buyers know the material they are buying. (15) When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the puter, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology. Point 1 The telephone creates need to municate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter es home at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about? Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救護車)to her rescue. Point 3 The mobile phone removes our secret. It allows Manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went. Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near — but we didnt meet for the first two weeks!” Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several plete strangers simultaneously(同時地) on chat lines(at least my daughter does. I wouldnt know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts(if you know any) while theyre space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the puter, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth. 1. How do you understand “ Point 1—The telephone creates the need to municate” ? A. People dont municate without telephone. B. People municate because of the creating of the telephone. C. People municate more since telephone has been created. D. People municate more because of more traffic. 2. Which points do you think best support the idea that phones improve peoples life? A. Point 3 and point 4 B. Point 1 and point 5 C. Point 1 and point 3 D. Point 2 and point 5 3. It is possible to talk to several plete strangers simultaneously through _______. A. the TV screen B. a fax machine C. the phone line hooked up to the puter D. a microphone
