According to a report by the China News Weekly, Chinese white collars are becoming fully occupied in the office. They pursue many of their activities in the office building, eating, doing exercise, resting, playing games or even dating.
In large cities such as Shenzhen,
As the young generation in society, most of them are aged between 25 and 45. In the eyes of outsiders, they enjoy a comfortable life: they lead the fashion trend in the city and earn a high salary; they enjoy a flexible working schedule and a very good working environment; having a good education background, they don’t have to worry that one day they will lose their jobs.
However, only the white collars themselves know what others see as a good life is in fact a boring life. They often work for extra hours, suffer from loss of creative ability and have little time to make friends. When they go off from work late at night, sometimes they might think of asking for a leave the next day and having a holiday somewhere. However, when a new day begins, they find everything back to normal and themselves pushed by new tasks.
In fact, even if they don’t work for extra hours in the office, they have no place to go. Many of the young people are fresh from college, or have come to work in large cities from their hometowns. As newcomers, they haven’t established(建立) a social network. They have few friends to go dating. Meanwhile, many of them face a great pressure for earning money to buy a house or a car. If they cannot afford to buy these, they still have to work to pay for high apartment rents and communication fares.
63. The underlined sentence (in paragraph 1) probably means _____.
A. Chinese white collars are not allowed to get out of the office.
B. The office is crowded with Chinese white collars.
C. Chinese white collars make the office filled with odds and ends.

C. they have no interest in anything
D. they have little time to make friends
65. The main idea of the third paragraph is that _____.
A. white collars are admired by other people
B. white collars needn’t worry about losing jobs
C. white collars can earn high salary and work freely
D. white collars are in the lead in the way of behaving
66. From the passage, we can infer that _____.
A. white collars are all workaholics who regard the office as home
B. white collars suffer from material and mental pressure in life
C. white collars are the models of young people in society
D. people have a good understanding of what white collars’ life is
D
Spending beyond one’s means is becoming a national problem for Americans. Borrowing has become so easy that it takes great willpower for people to refuse it. “I received a number of gold MasterCard and gold Visa card offers in the mail during the past two months,” said one computer engineer at AT&T Bell Laboratories in
Lenders are providing easy credit (信贷) for borrowers. Many banks now offer every borrower a great variety of credit, a service once offered almost only to big companies. Norwest Bank Minneapolis offers lending programs for cars and boats that can cut monthly payments nearly in half. Carmakers, too, are lengthening easier terms. Ford Motor Credit states that 45% of its recent lending has been for sixty months, rather than the thirty-six-month period that was usual before.
The total consumer debt in the
As we have overborrowed, so have we overspent. In late 1986, the share of after-tax income that Americans saved sank below 2 percent for a short time, less than half the figure at which we saved only 10 years ago. Americans now are buying from foreigners between about $50 and $100 billion more Mercedes and Toyotas,
To make a long story short, we Americans have serious problems in keeping down spending and keeping up personal savings. It is high time for us American people to learn the basics of long-term money management.

B. It is easy for Americans to manage their debts.
C. Borrowing money has become a simple matter.
D. Americans have more extra money than before.

A. help more Americans to settle their debts
B. encourage people to buy foreign cars
C. make better use of its money
D. attract more customers
69. What does the author suggest as a way to deal with overborrowing?
A. Teaching people how to manage money.
B. Advising people on what to buy.
C. Limiting the use of credit cards.
D. Reducing average incomes.
70. Which of the following points does the author wish to make?

B. A healthy society has to learn to live within its means.

In ancient times, a King had a big rock placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants（商人） and officials came by and only walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried his best to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and pulling, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying on the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King saying that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.
