trusted him completely and he made them feel secure. in exchange they paid him very well. we had a nice life then. at that time, my yoga studio(瑜伽馆) was just starting to make a profit, and i had recently decorated it. at last, i was in control of my working life and poured my heart and soul into making it succeed.when we first met, i fell hard for desmond right away, although i wouldnt call it love id never been with a man who was smarter than i was, but after a while i got used to this, and it didnt bother me so much. i was recovering from a broken heart and needed something to help me move on. if it wasnt love, it was good enough, and when he asked me to marry him i jumped at the chance, knowing that it might be my last.things started out so well. i was working steadily and desmond was patiently climbing up the ladder in his department. then, without any warning, one gray winter afternoon in year five, he just upped and left his desk at the bank, handed in his resignation, and came home and told me he wanted to start an interior design business.he has always loved mixing and matching, and has a real eye for color, texture, and shape, but the idea of turning a hobby into a business wasnt something we had ever discussed. i thought the stress of his job was becoming too much and perhaps he would take a few months off over the spring and summer to relax and get the idea out of his system. i didnt believe he could be serious. but once he had a few clients, he began to draw up plans, ordering catalogues and turning our empty workshop into a kind of makeshift studio with all of his sketches pinned to the wall. after spending a lot of time and money on all of this preparation, and really doing quite a nice job of it, he called each client in turn and apologized, saying he wouldnt be able to design their living spaces after all. 56. as a financial planner, desmond _. a. paid his client very well b. was trusted by his clients c. was making his yoga studio profitable d. could make his familys budget balanced57. the woman in the passage _. a. fell in love with desmond at first sight b. managed a yoga studio with her husband c. felt really uncomfortable with a smart man d. married desmond because of heart attack 58. his wife thought desmond suddenly quit his job because he _. a. couldnt wait to be promoted b. had experience in interior design c. couldnt bear the pressure from his job d. wanted to do something he enjoyed 59. the woman _ her husbands decision. a. was supportive ofb. was uninterested in c. was satisfied withd. was negative about 60. it can be inferred from the last paragraph that desmond _. a. was more likely to change his mind b. would return to his office in the bank c. made a big business in interior design d. was not well prepared for his businessbrecent reports of stained milk from new zealand have sent a chill down my backbone, because if proved true, it might have also harmed my 4-year-old son.traces of a potentially poisonous chemical were found in milk produced by fonterra cooperative group ltd, the worlds largest exporter of dairy products. the 2008 stained milk scandal that killed six infants and left more than 300,000 children with various diseases in the mainland. fonterra owned a large share in the now invalid sanlu group, which was at the center of the crisis.id once considered my son to be lucky. he has always been fed milk formula from reputable foreign companies. until my son turned 2 years old, i had flown every three months to shenzhen to buy milk in neighboring hong kong. since chinese mainland customs allows you to bring in a maximum of six tins at a time, i had to make more than one trip across the border between the two cities during each visit.our demand for foreign brands has also generated an army of enthusiastic “parallel traders”, who make a living buying baby formula in hong kong and selling them on the mainland at higher prices. no parents will allow their child to eat food they are not reasonably confident about.the sales of fonterra products have reportedly dropped significantly in china because nervous parents are put off by possible damages of the poison remains. theyve become more upset after learning that the dairy giant also provides milk to other international brands, including the one used by my son.perhaps its time to turn to domestic brands now that mighty foreign brands are also losing their shine and chinese producers have learned their lessons. recent media reports also say that a string of officials at various levels, who were kicked out for their roles in the sanlu scandal, have returned through various new appointments in the spirit of letting the bygones be bygones.but its difficult to change a consumers attitude once its formed. suspicious parents still have low levels of trust in local brands.besides a torn reputation for low quality, high production costs and scarce land supplies have also worsened the mess of chinese dairy product makers, who are keen to use foreign raw materials or simply produce in plants overseas as a way to win back consumers. 61. whats the main idea of the passage? a. sanlu group produces stained milk again. b. stained milk does great harm to babies. c. foreign brands also have stained milk. d. parents are suspicious about the quality of milk. 62. the writer often travels extra trip across the customs to hong kong just _. a. for businessb. for sightseeing c. to buy milkd. to visit friends 63. according to the passage, what do you know about fonterra cooperative group ltd.? a. it exports the most dairy products. b. it is centered in chinese mainland. c. it has increased sales in china. d. it provides milk only to sanlu group. 64. why does the writer appeal consumers to buy local brands of milk? a. because foreign brands are much too expensive. b. because domestic brands have learned their lessons. c. because sanlu scandal is over. d. because wed better let bygones be bygones. 65. the only way out for chinese dairy product makers is _. a. to use foreign raw materialsb. to win back consumers c. to reduce costsd. to increase land suppliescmost people will answer a ringing phone. usually you dont know who is phoning or how urgent their business is, so a ringing phone is difficult to ignore. in one experiment, a researcher wrote down the numbers of several public phones in stations and airports. then he called the numbers. someone nearly always answered. when he asked why, people usually said, “because it rang.”a few years ago in new jersey, a man with a rifle killed 13 people. armed police surrounded his house but he refused to come out. a reporter found out the phone number of the house and called. the man put down his rifle and answered the phone. “what do you want?” he said, “im really busy right now.”imagine you are at work and the phone is ringing in someone elses office. do you answer it or not? in one survey on telephone use, 51% of participants told researchers that they did. we cant ignore the phone and for that reason, it forces its way into our life. it interrupts what we are doing and on top of that, the caller is often someone we dont really want to talk to. however, in the survey, 58% said they never took the phone off the hook, and 67% didnt mind if someone called during a television programme. for 44% it wasnt a problem if someone rang during a meal, while only 28% were annoyed or upset. if someone phoned in the middle of the night, 40% told researchers that they got nervous or frightened, while around 30% got angry.of course, when someone is really annoying, you can choose to hang up on him/her. this is in fact one of the rudest things you can do on the phone, but 79% said they were prepared to do it in some cases. only 6% told researchers they never hung up on people.66. in the experiment, people answered the researchers phone _. a. in order to help him gather the data b. for fear that it was urgent c. to test the function of the phone d. to show their interest in the survey67. the gunman answered the phone because _. a. he decided not to give up his resistance to the police b. he
