There is a confused notion in the minds of many people that the gathering of the property of the poor into the hands of the rich does no ultimate harm, since in whosever hands it may be, it must be spent at last, and thus, they think, return to the poor again. This fallacy has been again and again exposed; but granting the plea true, the same apology may, of course, be made for blackmail, or any other form. of robbery. It might be (though practically it never is) as advantageous for the notion that the robber should have the spending of the money he extorts, as that the person robbed should have spent it. But this is no excuse for the theft. If I were to put a tollgate on the road where it passes my own gate, and endeavor to extract a shilling from every passenger, the public would soon do away with my gate, without listening to any pleas on my part that it was as advantageous to them, in the end, that I should spend their shillings, as that they themselves should. But if, instead of outfacing them with a tollgate, I can only persuade them to come in and buy stones, or old iron, or any other useless thing, out of my ground, I may rob them to the same extent and, moreover, be thanked as a public benefactor and promoter of commercial prosperity.

And this main question for the poor of England—for the poor of all countries—is wholly omitted in every writing on the subject of wealth. Even by the laborers themselves, the operation of capital is regarded only in its effect on their immediate interests, never in the far more terrific power of its appointment of the kind and the object of labor. It matters little, ultimately, how much a laborer is paid for making anything, but it matters fearfully what the thing is which he is compelled to make. If his labor is so ordered as to produce food, fresh air, and fresh water, no matter that his wages are low, the food and the fresh air and water will be at last there, and he will at last get them. But if he is paid to destroy food and fresh air, or to produce iron bars instead of them, the food and air will finally not be there, and he will not get them, to his great and final inconvenience. So that, conclusively, in political as in household economy, the great question is not so much what money you have in your pocket, as what you will buy with it and do with it.

The author gives the example of a tollgate in the first paragraph to indicate that

A．it is an act of robbery.

B．it is an impractical plan.

C．it will break the law.

D．it can make people rich.

听力原文： Foreigners joining a Chinese dinner party should know and follow Chinese table manners. Before dinner you sometimes get a hot, damp cloth, with which you can clean your face and hands. It is a custom in China to have some tea or other drinks before the meal is served. First, some cold dishes are provided, which are placed on a round glass plate in the middle of the table. Rice or noodles are served and should not be mixed with other food. Chinese people prefer using chopsticks instead of forks and knives. At a dinner party Chinese people enjoy drinking beer or alcohol. Everybody gets up, raises their glasses and touches the others' glasses, saying ganbei!

What's the purpose of getting a hot, damp cloth before dinner?

A．To clean the table.

B．To put it on the knees.

C．To clean face and hands.

There are exceptions to the rule of male insects being smaller than the females, and some of these exceptions are intelligible. Size and strength would be an advantage to the males which fight for the possession of the females, and in these cases, as with the stag-beetle (Lucanus), the males are larger than the females. There are, however, other beetles which are not known to fight together, of which the males exceed the females in size, and the meaning of this fact is not known, but in some of these cases, as with the huge Dynastes and Megasoma, we can at least see that there would be no necessity for the males to be smaller than the females, in order to be matured before them, for these beetles are not short-lived, and there would be ample time for the pairing of the sexes.

According to the author, ______.

A．male insects are always smaller than females

B．in a given species nature provides differences between sexes to insure successful reproduction

C．size and strength protect females from other females

D．longevity is characteristic of the Dynastes and Megasoma
