is scrawled onto a grocery list, those ethereal scraps of paper that record the shorthand of where we shop and how we feed ourselves. Most grocery lists end up in the garbage. But if you live in St. Louis, they might have a half-life you never imagined: as a cultural document, posted on the Internet.

For the past decade, Bill Keaggy, 33, the features photo editor at The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, has been collecting grocery lists and since 1999 has been posting them online at www.grocerylists.org. The collection, which now numbers more than 500 lists, is strangely addictive. The lists elicit twofold curiosity-about the kind of meal the person was planning and the kind of person who would make such a meal. What was the shopper with vodka, lighters, milk and ice cream on his list planning to do with them？ In what order would they be consumed？ Was it a he or a she？ Who had written "Tootie food, kitten chow, bird food stick, toaster scrambles, coffee drinks"？ Some shoppers organize their lists by aisle; others start with dairy, go to cleaning supplies and then back to dairy before veering off to Home Depot. A few meticulous ones note the price of every item. One shopper had written in large letters on an envelope, simply, "Milk."

The thin lines of ink and pencil jutting and looping across crinkled and torn pieces of paper have a purely graphic beauty. One of life's most banal duties, viewed through the curatorial lens, can somehow seem pregnant with possibility. It can even appear poetic, as in the list that reads "meat, cigs, buns, treats."

One thing Keaggy discovered is that Dan Quayle is not alone-few people can spell bananas and bagels, let alone potato. One list calls for "suchi" and "strimp." "Some people pass judgment on the things they buy," Keaggy says. At the end of one list, the shopper wrote "Bud Light" and then "good beer." Another scribbled "good loaf of white bread." Some pass judgment on themselves, like the shopper who wrote "read, stay home or go somewhere, I act like my mom, go to Kentucky, underwear, lemon." People send messages to one another, too. Buried in one list is this statement: "If you buy more rice, I'll punch you." And plenty of shoppers, like the one with both ice cream and diet pills on the list, reveal their vices.

What would people usually do with their grocery list after shopping？

A．Buying what it is scrawled on the paper.

B．Recording the shorthand of where we shop.

C．Throwing it into the dustbin.

D．Posting it on the Internet.

to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers？ Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings – battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown (推翻) or killed – took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen. Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit. The phrase “subscribe to” in the first paragraph means “__________”.

A. go to the newspaper stand and buy

B. send their own news stories to

C. agree to buy for a specific period of time

听力原文：M: Can I help you？

W: Yes, I need to buy a computer for this semester. I was told it is cheaper to buy computers here.

M: Well, you heard right. We have great discounts for students.

W: I don't know much about computer, and (19)I want a desktop computer with large memory.

M: Well, (20)I highly recommend the Power Macintosh G3. It comes with 64 megabytes of total memory. It should be enough for any student needs you might have. We have a special deal on right now. I should tell you about it, as it only goes until next Tuesday. (20)If you want one, you can actually get 30 percent off the usual sale price.

W: Wow. That's really good. Hey, wait. Is this an Apple computer？

M: Yes, it's a Macintosh. It's Apple. Macintosh and Apple are the same thing.

W: (21)I don't want Macintosh, as nobody in the university uses Macintosh. I want PC.

M: Well, most of the students and professors in the university here use Macintosh. May I ask where you're from？

W: I'm from China.

M: Well, I know that in most Asian countries Apple is not very popular. But here in America, especially in universities and publishing companies, Apple is very commonly used.

W: But I need a computer that can handle writing in Chinese.

M: There are several Chinese writing programs you can use with Macintosh. Chinese is no problem for Apple.

W: Hmm. I think I should ask some of my friends for advice before I make a decision. I'm sorry.

M: No, don't be sorry. It's reasonable to ask your friends. Here is my card, if you need any help.

听力原文：M: How did you like Egypt？

W: Oh, perfect. It's one of the most interesting places I've ever seen.

M: Where did you go？

W: Well, we spent most of the time in Cairo and Luxor.

M: What's there to see in Cairo？

W: Well, not all that much, in fact, but there is the museum and the pyramids, and that's really some- thing.

M: What's the city like？

W: It's very large, and the streets are always noisy and dirty.

M: I thought you liked it.

W: Well, I did in a way. It's very different, but I liked Luxor better. Luxor's a little town right on the banks of the Nile. It's very quiet and peaceful and much cleaner than Cairo. And actually I did more sightseeing there.

M: Did you buy anything？

W: Oh, sure. There are some excellent shops in Luxor with all sorts of interesting things. A lot better than Cairo, in fact, I bought a gold necklace. Want to see it？

M: Sure.

be a bill to pay. These are private bills. But there are also public bills that must be paid. Public bills are paid by the government. In turn, we get these services through taxes. What would happen if everyone in the city stopped paying taxes？ The water supply would stop; water might become unclean and impure. The streets might not be cleaned. There would be no police force to protect people and property. Schools would be closed. People would become sick and diseases might spread. We should not want to live in such a city. We all want pure water and food, clean streets and good schools. We want the police to prevent crime. The chief duty for every government is to protect persons and property. More than three quarters of the money spent by our government is used for this purpose. The next largest amount of public money goes to teach and train our citizens. Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries. Public money is used to pay the teachers and all the public officials. A large number of public funds are also spent on roads.

The greatest part of necessary funds is raised by taxes. A tax is money that we all must pay to support the government. The law orders us to pay taxes. We have no choice in the matter. Almost everyone pays some taxes in one form. or another.

(30)

A．By taxing public services.

B．By providing needed services.

C．By making people pay for private bills.

D．By collecting taxes.

听力原文： At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible sites for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.

The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.

The real attraction of the Hollowell farm to me was its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn't been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.

I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don't think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.

Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. What do we know about the speaker？

27. Why did the speaker decide to buy the Hollowell place？

28. Why did the speaker want to buy the farm in a hurry？

29. What does the speaker believe as important in life？

(33)

A．He made money by buying and selling farms.

B．He made a study of many farms before buying.

C．He had the money to buy the best farm in the country.

D．He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived.

to move to a new neighborhood. He surprised his landlord by telling him that he was leaving because he could not afford to buy any more chocolate.

It all began a year ago when Albert Hall returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws (爪子) and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend “Bingo”. He never found out the dog's real name, nor who his owner was. However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he liked chocolate more than bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large bar a day. If at any time Albert couldn't give it, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate. Albert was now at Bingo's mercy and had to “buy him” to get into his own house! He spent such a large part of his week's wage to keep Bingo supplied with chocolate that in the end he had to move somewhere else.
