12、her phrase puts it， “from can to cant.”today， working less than a 40-hour week， people enjoy more leisure time. hence， the wise use of leisure time has bee an important problem for everyone， young or old. it is a particularly difficult problem for the sick， the aged， and those who have retired from

13、earning a living. those people have so much leisure that it is hard for them to find interesting and worthwhile ways to use it . however short the work week bees， work is still the most important part of life. we do not work to get leisure and the pleasures leisure brings us； rather， we use leisure

14、wisely so that work itself can bee awarding and enjoyable. the feeling of suess at doing ones daily work-whether it is a job， maintaining a home， or going to school-depends largely on ing to it each day with fresh energy and active interest. leisure and recreation （消遗）go together， though they are no

15、t necessarily the same thing. “recreation” has and obvious meaning. it is the kind of leisure activity that brings “re-creation” of strength and spirit. when one speaks of making good use of leisure， he means choosing recreational activities which contribute to health， growth， and spirit. 21. the ph

18、how we spend our leisure time. 24. what is the relationship between leisure and recreation， aording to the author？ aleisure and recreation are closely related. bleisure and recreation are identical. crecreation covers all kinds of leisure activities. drecreation does not belong to any leisure activi

19、ty. 25. from the passage we know that _. aleisure has been an old problem since ancient times bleisure can not be replaced as the most important part of life cour suess in work is mostly determined by whether we use leisure wisely dgood recreational activities contribute greatly to health， growth an

20、d spirit passage two questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. each nation has its own peculiar character which distinguishes it from others. but the peoples of the world have more points in mon than points in which they differ. one type of person that is mon in every country is the one

21、 who always tries to do as little as possible and to get as much as possible in return. his opposite， the man who is in the habit of doing more than is strictly necessary and who is ready to aept what is offered in return， is rare everywhere. both these types are usually unconscious of their charact

22、er. the man who avoids effort is always talking about his “rights”： he appears to think that society owes him a pleasant， easy life. the man who is always doing more than his share talks of “duties”： he feels that the individual is in debt to society， and not society to the individual. as a result o

23、f their views， neither of these men thinks that he behaves at all strangely. the man who tries to do as little as he can is always full of excuses： if he has neglected to do something， it was because he had a headache， or the weather was too hot -or too cold- or because he was prevented by bad luck.

24、 at first， other people， such as his friends and his employer， generously aept his stories； but soon they realize what kind of person he is .in the long run he deceives only himself. when his friends bee cool towards him and he fails to make progress in his job， he is surprised and hurt. he blames e

29、es passage three questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. the government may control prices when where is a problem such as rapidly increasing rents or a rise in the cost of living. when the government controls prices， there is no longer a normal relationship between the price of a pro

30、duct and the quantity consumers will buy. government controls may help in an emergency （紧急情况）。however， some economists believe that controls can have negative effects over a long period of time. in cities with rent control， the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord （房主）can charge for

31、 an apartment. supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. their rent cannot increase； therefore， they are not in danger of losing their homes. however， the critics （批评者） say that after a long time， rent control may have negative effects. landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. therefore， they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. they do not invest in new building
