Passage One

Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage.

One Tuesday morning, Harry saw an ad in a window. It said, “Wanted. The Best Salesman in the World. Top Pay . ”

Harry thought he was a great salesman and went to ask for the job.” I am the best salesman in the world,” he said to the manager, “Give me the job.”

“You must prove you’re the best,” the manager said. “OK, I will!” Harry answered.

“Good!” The manager took a box of sweets out of his desk.” Last week I bought a thousand boxes of sweets. If you can sell them all before the end of the week, you can have the job,” said the manager. “That’s easy.” Harry said. He took the boxes of sweets and left the office.

Every day and all day, he went from shop to shop, trying to sell the boxes of sweets. He couldn’t sell one. The sweets were too bad for him to sell. At the end of the week he went back to the manager. “I’m sorry, sir.” He said. “I was wrong about myself. I’m not the best salesman in the world, but I know who is.”

“Oh,” said the manager. “Who?” The person who sold you a thousand boxes of these sweets.” Harry said. 41. Harry went to ask for the job because he was _____________himself at first. A)afraid of B) wrong with C)sure of D)worried about

Questions 46 to 49 are based on the following passage.

In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.

In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.46. What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? A)A matter of work B)a matter of life or death

B) There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about he concept of time. C) It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in U.S.A..

D)In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.

49. From the passage we can safely infer that __________.

A) it is a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time B)the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world

C)it makes no difference in the U.S. Whether you are early or late for a business party

4

D)if a person is late for a date, he needn't make some explanation Passage Three

Questions 50 to 53 are based on the following passage.

The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services.
