Many people have bought insurances（保险）, either life or property, commercial or compulsory. Yet some people know little about it and some even misunderstand its nature and function.
Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship-owner knows that his ships may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as insured and those who administer the pool of
contributions as insurers.
The legal basis of all insurance is the policy. This is a printed form of contract on a piece of paper in best quality. It states that every year the insured shall pay a named sum of money, which is called the premium; in return, the insurer will pay a sum of money or compensation for loss if the risk or event insured against actually happens.
The premium for an insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose business. On the other hand, if they make the premium too low, they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured.
16. The underlined phrase in Para. 2 most probably means ______.
A. money paid by the insurers
B. the amount of each premium
C. money paid by all those insured
D. the cost of administering insurance
17. Insurance premiums do not become too high because ______.
A. not many people insure themselves
B. premiums depend on the risk of loss
C. insurers have to be more competitive
D. insurance companies can never lose money
18. According to the passage, insurance business gains profit because ______.
A. more and more people buy insurance
B. the firms have a sound
management
C. premium is increased year by year
D. only a few of those insured suffer
losses
19. The purpose of the passage is ______.
A. to explain an insurance policy
B. to introduce insurance business
C. to persuade people to be insured
D. to warn people of possible losses
B
Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.
On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales.
He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.
“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” exclaimed my uncle, with a loud laugh.
When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When
the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling（天花板） had collapsed, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.
That night we all slept on the floor to the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment collapse（倒塌） on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!
20. The uncle seldom spent much time in the country cottage because ______.
A. the roof of the cottage was falling
B. the cottage was in a bad condition
C. he was used to living abroad
D. there was no furniture in it
21. When they opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because ______.
A. it was completely dark inside
B. dust was blown into their eyes
C. something strange blinded them
D. there was too much dust in the air
22. The narrator felt glad that he had stayed up late because ______.
A. he did not miss the exciting stories
B. he spent more time with his uncle
C. he had a lucky escape
D. he saw a strange sight
23. Which of the following can best describe the narrator’s uncle?
A. Adventurous and good at storytelling.
B. Humorous and good at making jokes.
C. Dependable and generous with money.
D. Considerate and sensitive to danger.
C【B班及其以下班级选作】
Our success, satisfaction and general happiness in life is not dependent on what happens to us but how we deal with it.
You will probably know yourself from personal experience what a difference your attitude can make when, for example, you’re returning faulty goods or making a complaint. An open, polite and friendly approach, expecting a satisfactory result, normally results in one as people tend to respond with a similar attitude. If, however, you present an argument with an angry, accusing tone, expecting trouble, there is little doubt that this is what you’ll get!
Some people see the world through a filter of optimism and some through a filter of pessimism which largely comes down to having a positive or negative attitude. People who are suffering from a negative attitude primarily think that something can’t be done; they dwell on problems, see all the pitfalls, find fault with and criticize other people a nd focus on all the things they would like but haven’t got. People blessed with a positive attitude by contrast think that anything is possible, they look for solutions, they see the good in everybody, and they are grateful for all the good things in their lives.
Whether suffering from or blessed with your attitude, this is not something that is put on us from the outside. We are very much responsible for our own attitude. We all start out with a “clean” board but this can get muddied by our experiences in life. As children we get ridiculed and bullied, criticized and rejected, start to experience doubt and lose our self-confidence. If this continues into adulthood, it can result in a bad attitude in later life.
24. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that people are likely to treat others ______.
A. the way they are treated
B. better when they are satisfied
C. worse when they are in trouble
D. the way they consider appropriate
25. According to the writer, what affects people’s life attitud e?
A. the situation they face
B. the people around them
C. their expectations of life
D. the way they view the world
26. What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?
A. to show how to avoid a negative attitude
B. to show the importance of a positive attitude
C. to share his positive attitude with his readers
D. to describe the effects of a negative attitude

How to Choose a Topic for Your Paper
No matter what research paper you write, the first and most important step is to choose the topic. 27 Here are some tips for you to follow.
To choose a good topic, you’ll have to ask yourself some important questions. Is there enough research available on this topic? Is the topic new and unique enough that I can offer fresh opinions? Is it related with my subject and future occupation?
28 Writing about something you enjoy certainly shows in the final product, making it more likely that you will be successful writing a paper about something you enjoy.
If you are writing a research paper for a class, consider the other students.
29 How can you keep your paper unique and interesting if everyone is writing about the same thing?
Ask your professor or classmates for advice, if you’re strugg ling to come up with a “right” topic. 30 Sometimes asking a professor for help may seem frightening, but if they are worth anything as a professor, they want you to be successful with your work, and will do what they can to make that happen.

A.Have a clear picture of organization in mind.
B.Be courageous and change it.
C.Is it likely that they will also be writing about your topic?
D.However, many students are discouraged by this first step.
