Ⅵ.Reading Comprehension(阅读理解,共10分,每题1分)
                                                  Passage 1
    Complaining about faulty goods or bad service is never easy.Most people dislike making a fuss.But if something you have bought is faulty or does not do what was claimed for it, you are not asking for a favor to get it put right.It is the shopkeeper’s responsibility to take the complaint seriously and to replace or repair a faulty article or put right poor service, because he is the person with whom you have entered into an agreement.
    Complaints should be made to a responsible person.Go back to the shop where you bought the goods, taking with you any receipt you may have.If you telephone, ask the name of the person who handles your enquiry, otherwise you may never find out who is to deal with the complaint later.
    Even the bravest person finds it difficult to stand up in a group of people to complain.So, if you do not want to do it in person, write a letter.Stick to the facts and keep a copy of what you write.At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, but you should not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article.If you are not satisfied with the answer you get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director.Be sure to keep copies of your own letters and any letter you receive.

                                                  Passage 2
    In most European countries, unemployment was low for many years after World War II, and bitter memories of parents and grandparents who had been out of work for long periods in the 1930s gradually disappeared from people’s minds.But in recent years it has once again become a serious problem.
    Newspapers usually take the number of people “unemployed” as a percentage of the registered working population.On the basis of these figures alone, they make comparisons with past experience and also between different countries.Such simplified calculations do not take into account technological developments that have made a large number of unskilled jobs unnecessary.
    When we compare our unemployment figures with those of the 1930s, we must remember that far more women work nowadays, and therefore register as unemployed if they lose their jobs, so governments have a greater task and responsibility.
    Comparisons between countries are also unreliable because of the percentage of people who are not registered.For example, in former West Germany, most young people stayed at school until they were 18.

It can be inferred from the passage that
A unemployment before World War II was low.
B unemployment after World War II was high.
C unemployment in the 1930s was high.
D unemployment in the 1930s was low.
7. 
According to the author, the figures of unemployment given in newspapers are ________.
A unfair
B false
C miscalculated
D correct
8. 
Which of the following statements is not true?
A The unemployment rate in most European countries in recent years is high.
B Unemployment did not represent a serious problem in Europe in the 1950.
C The standard of being registered as “unemployed” is not the same in different countries.
D The unemployment rate is the percentage of a certain country’s population that does not have a job.
9. 
The recent decline of unskilled jobs is mentioned as the result of ________.
A high unemployment rates
B technological advances
C women workers
D governments’ efforts
10. 
In former West Germany, ________.
A young people were not allowed to work until they were 18
B young people below 18 usually did not register to work.
C young people usually registered to work before they were 18.
D the registered number was bigger because of the young people below 18.
