 paragraph 段落
At 5 o’clock every morning, while most people are sleeping,
16-year-old Libby Larson is already up. She mops the floor, gets
the mail and the newspapers, and gets ready for visitors to Rolling
Acres. Libby’s grandparents started Rolling Acres in 1970, and
since then all of the Larson family have been working there.
Rolling Acres used to be just a sheep farm, but now, with its fruit
trees, vegetable gardens, and many other kinds of animals, it has
become a popular place for families to go on vacation. Visitors can
pick fruits, collect eggs, and feed the animals. It is one of Libby’s
jobs to show kids how to feed the baby sheep.
For her work, Libby is paid $10 an hour. This summer, she expects to make about $1,200
and plans to buy a cell phone. Her friends think it’s great to make that much money in a
summer. However, for Libby, working at a family business also means making sacrifices.
“I’d love to sleep until noon or go to summer camp like other kids. My friends stopped
inviting me on trips because I’m always busy in the summer.” However, Libby also said,
“But it’s better to see both sides. Working with your family is great. You feel closer to
each other.”

Around the year 400, people came to Easter Island.
They used trees to make fire and
build houses. Because of the trees,
people had a great life on the island.
In their free time, they loved
making statues with big rocks. With
the trees they cut down, they could
move the statues around easily.
Trees were needed and used in every part of their life.
Years passed, and there were fewer and fewer trees on Easter Island.
Without enough trees to keep
water under the ground, the land
became dry, and plants didn’t grow.
So many trees here!
I’m thirsty.
And I’m hungry.

31. What does did it in Picture 7 mean?
(A) Fall to the ground.
(B) Cut down the last trees.
(C) Move the statues to fighting grounds.
(D) Understand how important trees were.
People began to fight for water and food. The statues were moved to fighting
grounds to show their power. The last trees were probably cut down at this time.
Those who cut down
the last trees surely
understood how
important trees were
to them—but still,
they did it. When the
last trees fell to the
ground, people on the
island fell, too.
Let’s not make Earth, our only home,
another Easter Island.

32. What did Ariely try to find out in the origami study?
(A) If he could stop the IKEA effect.
(B) Why people love making origami.
(C) Why IKEA furniture is so famous.
(D) If anyone shared his IKEA experience.
33. Which is true about the origami study?
(A) Buyers would spend less on builders’ origami than builders would.
(B) Builders and buyers needed to decide a price on the origami they made.
(C) Builders knew others would not pay as much for the origami as they would.
(D) Buyers would spend more on builders’ origami after knowing how they were made.
Many years ago, Dan Ariely bought a cabinet from IKEA. IKEA is a
famous furniture store that sells boxes of furniture parts. People who
buy them have to put all the parts together themselves. It took Ariely hours to build
his cabinet. Ariely didn’t really enjoy himself when he was trying to put all the parts
together. However, after he finished, he felt quite good about himself and his cabinet.
Later, he found that he loved his cabinet more than any of his other furniture.
Ariely wanted to know if anyone shared his feelings, so he did
a fun origami study. He invited two groups of people to join his
study. He called one group “builders” and the other group “buyers.”
Builders were told to make origami, like paper frogs or paper birds. When they
finished, they were asked how much they would spend on their works. Ariely then
showed the origami to buyers and asked them how much they would pay for them.
The two groups gave very different answers. Though buyers would pay only five
cents for builders’ origami, builders would spend 25 cents! Interestingly, builders
believed others would think their works were good enough to cost that much money!
Ariely’s study showed that he was not alone in his IKEA experience—we just love
things more, sometimes blindly, when we make them ourselves. Ariely called it “the
IKEA effect.”

(B) The change that electricity brought to people’s lives.
(C) The history behind the picture of a UK electricity worker.
(D) The story of a famous UK electricity worker from the 1970s.
In the picture is a UK electricity worker in the 1970s. Pictures like this appeared in
many newspapers at the time. In 1972, electricity workers in the UK asked to be paid more,
and they decided to stop working until their wish was answered. The government worried
that there wouldn’t be enough electricity for the country if these workers didn’t go to work,
so it agreed to give them the pay rise. However, the story didn’t end there.
A year later, the electricity workers asked for another pay rise. To get what they
wanted, they worked shorter hours and acted like they would walk away from their job
anytime. But this time, the government decided to fight. To save electricity, it made new
rules for people to follow. For example, each family could turn on the heat in only one
room; TV stations had to stop their shows at 10:30 p.m.; businesses could open only three
days a week.
People’s lives were greatly changed. Without enough heat to keep the house warm,
people covered themselves in blankets all the time. Hospitals had to use candles because
they couldn’t keep all the lights on. Factories couldn’t keep their machines working. Many
people lost their jobs. For months, people were paying the price while the electricity
workers were fighting for their wish. In the end, the government agreed to the second pay
rise. This picture shows what many people thought of the electricity workers during the
“dark” time.
