We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were

going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard (柜橱) outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow."Buy it, "my wife said at once."We'll carry it home on the roof rack.I've always wanted one like that."

What could I do? Ten minutes later I was £20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.

In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.

After a time my wife said,"There's a long line of cars behind. Why don't they overtake, I wonder?" In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.

"Right, sir, "he said. "Do you need any more help?"

I was a bit puzzled. "Thanks, officer, "I said. "You have been very kind. I live just on the road."

He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. "Well, well, "he said, laughing. "It's a cupboard you've got there! We thought it was something else."

My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. "Yes, it's a cupboard, but thanks again."I drove home as fast as I could.

In fact the husband _______ the cupboard.

A.would like very much to buy

B.badly wanted

C.was glad to have bought

D.would rather not have bought

In the United States, the biggest change in spending has been in the amount spent on food,
which has decreased from 46% of the total family budget in 1901 to 19% of present day totals. This is due to the fact that people are now able to buy more and better foods at lower prices. As a result of the growth in fast food restaurants (for example, McDonald's or KFC), more people are also eating out. Thus about 30% of today's food budget goes on meals eaten outside the home while a hundred years ago it was only 3%.

At the beginning of the 20th century, few people owned their homes (only around 19% of working families) or cars (at about $ 1,000 per ear this was well above the average family income of $ 650 per year), as most people were unable to borrow money. But there was a rapid rise in both home and car ownership during the mid-1900s.

Free time increased considerably following the shortening of the working week, i.e. from six days to five, and from 10 hours to eight hours a day. In fact, the working clay couldn't be too long, otherwise people wouldn't have the time to spend their money. The amount of a family's budget spent on outside entertainment, such as parties, films and concerts has increased from just under 6% in Ford's day to about 9% today. On the other hand, we spend only a quarter of what our great-grand-parents paid for reading materials.

It is difficult to see how our spending patterns may change in the future. We already know that our population is aging and this will have an effect on the amount of money we spend on medicalcare.

What is the subject discussed in the text?

A.Increase in family income.

B.Changes in family planning.

C.Changing patterns in spending.

D.Decrease in food demand.

听力原文: We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. Our car looked like a florist's shop at the traffic lights; and there my wife noticed the cupboard.

It was tall and narrow, and it stood on the pavement outside a furniture shop. "Buy it," she said at once. "We'll carry it home on the roof rack. I've always wanted one like that."

What could I do? Ten minutes later I was $20 poorer, and the cupboard was tied onto the roof rack. It was 6 feet long and 18 inches square, quite heavy too.

In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.

After a time my wife said, "There's a long line of cars behind. Why don't they overtake, I wonder?"

In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.

"Right, sir," he said, "do you need any help now?"

I was a bit puzzled. "Thanks, officer," I said, "You've been very kind. I just live down the road."

He was staring at our load: first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. "Well, well," he said, laughing. "It's a cupboard you've got there! We thought it was something else."

My wife began to laugh. Then the truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. "Yes, it's a cupboard, but thanks again." ! drove home as fast as I could.
