When you buy a T-shirt, or a fur coat in a store, it often carries a label (标签) telling who made it or from what store it was bought. Indeed, some labels show the dress is famous and it is very expensive, so buyers secretly wish they might be carried for ever. On the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products (产品) would be pleased to do away with labels entirely.

However, there is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was bought. When a person buys a fur coat, or a jacket, from a store, a label telling what the product is made of should be carried to it.

    This label is required by law. Besides telling what the product on show is made of, the label should be in clear English and be where one can find it easily. The information on the label must be the truth.

The reason for this label is that most buyers today aren’t expert enough to know exactly what kind of fur or material they are buying. The buyer must believe in the store that sells the products or in what the labels say.

A. making furs and clothes               B. protecting buyers with law

A. clothing stores sell cheap dresses

B. Only famous products have labels

A) 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后第62—71小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，并将答案填写在答题纸标号为62—71的相应位置上。

注意：每空1个单词。

Is there someone you hate? Well, you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).

Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (批评) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.

Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our friendships with our friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long

 If you see bitterness in your life, the following ways can be helpful.

u  Accept it

Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.

u  Stop making excuses for it

You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life

u  Forgive and forget it

You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of your mind.

B) 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题纸标号为72—81的相应位置上。

Smiling is the most peaceful language in the daily life

One Sunday morning, I decided to buy a computer to use for my school. I went to the biggest store in town, which sells all k  72   of computers. There were so many computers that I didn’t know how to c  73   aright one. Just then, a young man greeted me with a sweet smile. He looked like not a salesman but a student like me. I sensed a s  74   feeling—as if I had met him before. He began p  75   showing me each model. With his help, I decided to buy one with enough functions at a very low p  76  . I enjoyed this shopping experience because of his smile. A few months later, something was wrong w  77   my computer. I went back to the store to have it fixed. When I arrived there, what I saw first was s  78   his smile. As soon as I told him my problem, he comforted me immediately and tried his best to s  79   the problem for me. I was grateful to him for his sweet smile and good s  80  . When I went back to school, his smile often appeared in my mind. I don’t know w  81   we’ll meet each other again, but his smile will stay in my memory and deep in my heart.
