    When Dave was eighteen, he bought a secondhand car for 200 so that he could travel to and from work more1 than by bus. It worked quite well for a few years, but then it got so old, and it was costing him 2much in repairs that he decided that he had better 3it.

     He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly4to buy a cheap car, but they all knew that it was falling to pieces, so5 of them had any desire to buy it. Dave's friend Sam saw that he was 6 when they met one evening, and said, “What's7, Dave?”

      Dave told him, and Sam answered, “Well, what about advertising it in the paper? You may 8more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam's9was sensible(合理的),he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which read “For sale: small car, 10very little petrol, only two owners. Bargain at 50.”

        The sea has always interested man. From it he can get food, minerals, and treasure.  But he could not go far beneath its surface.

However, he is not a fish. He must breathe air, so he can’t stay under the water's surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems.

         A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases.    He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a nose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea.  

   When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles(气泡). The diver is then suffering from the bends(潜水夫病). The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain. 

       A. His body is under great pressure.
       B. Scientists are trying to find more about the sea.
       C. For thousands of years, he could sail on it.
       D. They can even kill him.
       E. He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above.
       F . The water pressure can cause a diver to breathe with difficulty.
       G. Man wants to explore deep into the sea.

For many years, immigrants (移民) have looked for better lives in New York City. The group makes up more than 40 percent of the population. New York is a city of immigrants as a result of it. A new study shows that immigrants also have helped the city's development.

Nisha Agarwal is the immigration commissioner for the city. She says immigrants help drive the city at all levels. New York City's economy and the quality of life have improved during the past years. There is a link between improvements in old neighborhoods and immigration. The immigrants go to these neighborhoods because they are the only places they can afford. And they help reduce the vacancy rates (空缺率) and the state of disrepair (失修).

      Some of the immigrants come to New York to raise the family; others hope to realize their dreams. Robert Sampson is a professor at Harvard University. He says immigrants who tried their best to come to America are often less likely to take part in a crime and more likely to work hard. These lead to a drop in the crime rate.

        Immigrant businesses also help to drive growth in New York. The immigrants do work that others will not. They will work in the agricultural sector, the manufacturing sector and the service industry. And at the same time, some with the best minds in the world are working in the tech industry, engineering, science, and the medical field.

       All immigrants help support the economy in some way by paying taxes. They need to buy things, and, when they buy things, they pay sales taxes. They need to live someplace. Whether you are the owner of a place or rent a place, there are property taxes. Property taxes and sales taxes are major sources of income for the government.

       More students than ever before are taking a gap year (间隔年)before going to university.It used to be called the "year off”between school and university. The gap­year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.

      This year,25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).

      That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education.“Students who take a well­planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course.Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible, " he said.

      But not everyone is happy.Owain James，the president of the National Union of Students(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education.“New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15,000 in debt.It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,”he said.
