Brown admits he had problems with alcohol and has smoked cocaine. But he said he still wants a more stable housing arrangement. He could afford it just with the money he earns by collecting cans and small pieces of metal, if only truly low-income housing were available. However, he sees no hope of finding affordable housing in New York. With the strong economy and unemployment down, beautiful housing is being built to meet demand. A US report shows rents in New York City rose more than 27 per cent, from $549 to $700 a month. One of the side effects of the strong economy is that rents have been going up. The majority of people who experience homelessness really just need some affordable housing help. But few housing companies are building for the poor. Many small apartments in the city now rent for $1,500 a month or more. Brown, the homeless New Yorker, said he has a daughter who lives in the city but he rarely sees her. She is angry about his drinking and won't allow it in her house. Smiling, he said he also has seven grandchildren whom he'd like to see more often. “All I've got to do is clean up my act,” he said. 60.What kind of life does George Brown lead? A. Stable. B.

What's more, you don't even need to touch the egg to get it to go in! For this experiment you will need: •a hard-boiled egg •a glass bottle with a mouth just slightly smaller than the egg (a fruit-drink bottle works well) •a 8-cm by 8-cm(3-inch by 3-inch)piece of newspaper •a match Remove the shell from the egg. Set the egg on the mouth of the bottle to see that the egg does not fit through the mouth. Light the paper. Remove the egg from the mouth of the bottle and drop the burning paper into the bottle. Before the fire goes out, set the egg back onto the mouth of the bottle. Within a few seconds the egg will squeeze(挤) through the mouth and into the bottle. As it entered the bottle, the egg may have broken into pieces. This happens when the diameter(直径) of the egg is more than about 0.5 cm(about 3/16 inch) larger than the diameter of the bottle's opening. Why does the egg slide into the bottle, even though no one is pushing it? Because the pressure of the air is pushing it. Before the burning paper is put into the bottle, the pressure of the air inside is the same as outside. The burning paper, however, heats the air inside. This causes the air inside to expand. When the egg is placed on top of the bottle, it seals(封住) the bottle. When the fire goes out, the air inside cools. As it cools, the air contracts(紧缩), and the pressure of the air inside becomes less than the pressure outside. Then, the higher outside pressure pushes the egg into the bottle! 68. The best title of this passage can be . A. An interesting story B. The pressure of the air] C. Egg in a bottle D. Egg, bottle and match 69. What don't you need in this experiment? A. Eggs. B. Water. C. Bottles. D. Paper. 70. Why will the egg break into pieces while entering the bottle? A. Because of the burning paper. B. Because the diameter of the egg is too larger than that of the bottles opening. C. Because it is cool inside the bottle. D. Because the pressure of the air inside is larger. 71. What is the most important to get the egg into a bottle? A. A match. B. A fruit-drink bottle. C. The pressure of the air. D. The burning paper. E It is often said that politeness costs nothing. In fact, it seems that a little more courtesy could save businesses ￡5 billion every year. Frequently hearing the phrase “thank you” or “well done” means the same to staff as a modest pay rise, researchers say. Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs, saving on the cost of finding replacements. A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by the famous firm White Water Strategies said they did not get thanked at all when they did well——and a further third said they were not thanked enough, meaning they were less likely to put themselves into work and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere. The final result is around ￡5.2 billion in lost productivity from employees who would raise their interests in work if they felt more appreciated, White Water claimed. According to the company, praising staff has the same motivational kick as a 1 per cent pay rise – and works out much cheaper for bosses. Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement(认可) by their bosses was important to them, but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed. The survey found that those blue-collar and manual(体力的)workers were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well. In regional terms, Scottish staff felt most undervalued. Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise. However, workers in the North-East are less impressed by being praised by the boss, as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told “well done” regularly. Older employees and women need the most praise, according to psychologist Averill Lemmon. 72. The underlined word “courtesy” (in Paragraph1) probably means “ ”. A. politeness B. authority C. pay rise D. replacement 73. The survey done by White Water Strategies shows that . A. giving workers a pay rise can't make them work hard B. most workers not praised have no interest in their work C. workers who got few praise are more likely to change their jobs D. sometimes politeness and encouragement cost nothing 74. Which of the following statements agrees with the passage? A. Scottish bosses don't like praising their workers very much. B. Older workers and women need more pay rise. C. Most workers don't need any praise. D. Blue collar workers get more praise. 75. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Politeness is very important in our daily life B. The words “well done” are useful as a pay rise C. Several ways to make workers work hard D.
