24、oss and from the time clock: the freedom to make up our own rules for our work, and our own plans-arranging our own hours of work? That way work would be both painless and fun. Or, so we imagine.Well, in fact it isnt quite as simple as that. Yes, it is true that being the boss has its satisfactions

25、and that you can arrange your working hours freely if you own your own small business. But in those early years of starting your own business, you shouldnt think of a free day, not to mention flying off for a months vacation. It is not unusual for new business owners to work seventy or eighty hours

26、a week, and if there is a day off, that day might need to be devoted to accounting（算账).But this negative picture doesnt destroy the beautiful hopes. The possibility of getting something wonderful in return-both material and mental-continues to drive that large number of people who start up small bus

31、ord Street ,London ,on March 9.Phillip Lemoyne ,prosecuting（起诉）,said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to the ladies toilet in the store .When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected, having taken off the anti-theft security alarms（防盗警报装置）.She was s

32、topped and caught after leaving the store without paying, Mr. Lemoyne said.He added that she was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions.Luz, 28, was said to have been convicted of shoplifting by Cambridge judges last October, but Morag Duff, defending, said she had never been in trouble

33、with the police before that. “She is ashamed and embarrassed but doesnt really have any explanation why she did this,” Miss Duff said. “She didnt intend to steal when she went into the store. She is at a loss to explain it. She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady. She went to

39、hemselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be set aside because of the change of fashion.Changing fas

40、hions are nothing more than the intentional（故意的） creation of waste. Many women spend large sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn.

41、gthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with necessary things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are only interested in outward ap

42、pearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right.

The constant changes in womens clothing reflect their strength of character. C. The fashion industry makes an important c

47、ontribution to society.D. Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.62.

48、etter able to put up with discomfortC. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashionDUsually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is

49、 “Whats your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about peoples names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?Peoples first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is

Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”;

52、ther early surnames came from peoples occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals.

53、rove a cart（运货马车）; Potter a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors（祖先) of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenters great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair o

54、r skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was pro

55、bably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the fathers name. English-speaking people added s or son.
