[单项选择]I see this principal all over as I go through my day. I see rims on car wheels that cost upwards of $ 500, just for a little bit of decoration on a vehicle. I see people spend four or five dollars for a cup of coffee, hundreds of dollars for cell phones that they almost never use, thousands of dollars on huge television sets that they almost never watch. All around us are ads and commercials that keep us wanting to buy things that keep us dissatisfied with the way things are, and those ads and commercials are trying to convince us that if we just buy some more stuff—no matter what the cost—we’ll be happier and more content.
But somewhere along the line we have to learn to make our own decisions about value. There’s a common law of economics that states that many poor people will stay poor because of the decisions that they make about how to spend their money. How many people have you known or known of, for example, who have little money yet who buy a very expensiv

[单项选择]Two weeks ago I had to go to the train station because I was taking a trip to Boston. I decided to take a taxi to the station. There is a bus to the station, but I had a lot of luggage and was in a hurry, so I chose a taxi.
I heard the horn(喇叭)of the taxi and hurried out of the house. Excited about my trip, I told the taxi driver I was in a hurry because I had a ticket for a train in only 20 minutes. But I soon began to worry as we hurried through the crowded streets. He drove too fast! We drove across the intersections(十字路口)without stopping for the red lights. We did not stay in our lane, but drove down the middle of the streets. As we turned at the corners, the fast movement of the taxi pushed me into its door. In ten minutes we reached the train station, but I never want to hurry that much again.
I took a train to Boston two weeks ago.
A. Right.
B. Wrong.
C. Doesn’t say.

In a newsreel theatre the other day I saw a picture of a man who had developed the soap bubble to a higher point than it had ever before reached. He had become the ace soap bubble blower of America, had perfected the business of blowing bubbles, refined it, doubled it, squared it, and had even worked himself up into a convenient lather. The effect was not pretty. Some of the bubbles were too big to be beautiful, and the blower was always jumping into them or out of them, or playing some sort of unattractive trick with them. It was, if anything, a rather repulsive sight. Humor is a little like that: it won’t stand much blowing up, and it won’t stand much poking. It has a certain fragility, an evasiveness,
A. parallelism
B. metaphors
C. metonymy
D. similes
