When you buy a T-shirt, or a fur coat in a store, it often carries a label(標簽) 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 forever. On the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products(產(chǎn)品) would be pleased to do away with labels completely.
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.
According to the law, this label must be carried. 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 true.
The reason for this label is that most buyers today don’t know exactly(確切地) 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.
小題1: The law says that furs must carry a __________.
A.clean labelB.clear labelC.white labelD.secret label
小題2:This article is mainly about _______.
A.making furs and clothes
B.protecting buyers with law
C.keeping the buyer understood
D.businessmen and sellers
小題3: The writer doesn’t agree that ________.
A.labels are not true
B.clothing stores sell cheap dresses
C.a(chǎn)ll the products have labels.
D.buyers buy the clothes with labels
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE?
A.A T-shirt seldom carries a label.
B.A fur coat with a high price often carries a false label.
C.A label only says what material the product is made of.
D.Not all buyers know the material they are buying.

閱讀下列短文,根據(jù)短中的信息完成文后表格。(每空一詞)
Hi, everyone! I will graduate from high school in June. Some of my foreign friends have asked me about the process of entering an American university(綜合性大學(xué)), so here I will tell you how it works.
First you have to choose which university you want to go to. This is not easy, as there are over 3,000 universities and colleges in the USA. Do you want to stay near home, or do you want to go far away? What do you want to study? Once you have decided what is important to you, I would suggest choosing about five schools to apply to (申請). This way, if one or two schools do not accept you, you still have a chance of being accepted by the others.
After you have chosen which schools you would like to apply to, you have to finish an application form for each one. You also need to ask two or three of your teachers to write letters to the universities explaining why you would be a good university student. For many people, the worst part of applying for university is taking tests. Depending on which college or university you want to go to, you have to take either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which tests your language, math and writing skills, or the American College Test (ACT), which tests your knowledge in English, math, science and history.
After you have been accepted to a university, you need to be able to pay for your study there. To help students pay for their education, the government offers loans(貸款)which students do not have to repay until after they graduate. Scholarships(獎學(xué)金)are also available to students who have excellent grades, who are good players or who have financial(財政)needs. Because university tuition is so expensive, many students also work part-time while they are at university.
University courses are quite different from classes at high school. You only go to each class two or three times a week, you have to study a lot more outside of class. Classes are much bigger too and some can have as many as 200 students in them. There will be many new things to learn, but I think I will enjoy university.
Main items
Context
___小題1:__university
It is   小題2: to choose only one or two universities to apply to. Choosing more universities can add to(增加) the   小題3:__of being admitted to by one of them.

Take 小題5: in the proper tests according to the university you have chosen.

Scholarships can be given to those  小題8:_ have excellent grades, etc.
Find part-time 小題9: while at university.
Attending classes
There are fewer classes in university than at high school.
The 小題10:of the students in each class is also larger in university than at high school. Sometime it can have 200 students.
