A It was a village in India . The people were poor. However , they were not unhappy .After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.

Reading Comprehension
Directions:There are two passages in this part． Each passage js followed by some questions
or unfinished statements． For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D． Youshould decide on the best choice．
Questions 56 - 60 are based on Passage One:
Passage One
How should one invest a sum of money in these days of inflation (通货膨胀) ? Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate is．Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market．Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past．Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques．
I sometimes woncler wl:cat a being from another planet might report back about our wayof life． “The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound． It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands． Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people's wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control．This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves． ”
Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time． Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts． They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout the time． So it seems that the first clocks were human beings．
However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time．
They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun．They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour-glasses, and invented water-clocks．Indeed, any serious student of antiques should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past．
Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home． After all, if you are going to be ruled by the time, why not invest in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?
According to the passage, collecting antique clocks ( )．
A． can hardly keep the value of your savings
B． will cost much of your money
C． may increase your wealth
D． needs your bravery

Passage Five
Australia is nearly as large as the United States, but most of it is too dry for people to live in. Around
this dry part are large sheep and cow farms. A few of them are as large as the smallest states: of America.
Often the nearest neighbours are several hundred kilometers away.
The two-way radio is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms. It works much like a
telephone. A person can listen to someone else talk and then gives an answer. For example, people on
the large farms could talk to a doctor far away. They could tell the doctor about someone who was ill,
and the doctor could let them know how to look after the sick person.
As the large farms were so far from towns, the children could not go to school. Radio schools were
started for them in some places. At a certain time each day, boys and girls turn on their radios and
listen to teachers in cities far away.
Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbours. The programme Round Robin
Talks by radio was started to keep families in touch with each other. They could talk about who was
going away and who was iii. The men could talk about their sheep and cows and how much money
the markets would pay for them. In many ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia.

A. important to Americans
B. useful for children only
C. used as a telephone
D. only used by doctors
