閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
D
The first MP4 player was born years ago. Soon many music fans were wondering how fantastic it is! If you have been into technology enough, perhaps you may have a knowledge of the MP4. If not, you do need to know something before buying one, even if you are familiar with MP3. MP3 is the CD-like disc with greater capacity. How about MP4? This small digital product will really enrich the joy from listening to music. You can even feel the “touch” of music to your soul!
Now, some similar digital products advertised as “MP4 player” are simply MP3 players, which do not play video and MPEG format and also lack other particular functions. These products confuse some buyers, as they may think the “MP4” players simply mean they can do more than MP3.
What is MP4?
It is a multimedia container. It is not only used to store digital audio and digital video streams, especially those of MPEG, but can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and pictures. As a most modern container format, it allows streaming over the Internet.
With the help of a piece of MP4 video equipment, you can change various programs such as MPEG to MP4, ASX to MP4, AVI to MP4 and so on, which can be done very quickly and easily without any effect on the sound quality. By installing DVD-MP4 software, you can transfer particular music from a DVD to an MP4 video file. It really excites your listening music experience.
Then, there is MP4 advanced and you can set your own collection of all the programs—TV shows, games, and music. You can even see movies which are still running in cinema. What else digital product could you possibly ask for?
小題1: It is suggested here that you should ______ before buying an MP4 player.
A．first be a music fanB．have a knowledge of MP4
C．get familiar with MP3D．buy a CD-like disc
小題2:From the passage, we can see that MP4 is ______ MP3.
A．much bigger thanB．just as advanced as
C．not so particular asD．more functional than
小題3:Which function of MP4 is NOT directly mentioned in this passage?
Ａ．Storing digital audio and video streams.
Ｂ．Recording some movies in cinema.
Ｃ．Playing TV shows, games and movies.
Ｄ．Transferring particular music from a DVD.
小題4:From the last sentence, it’s clear that the writer tries to tell us it is ______.
A．reasonable to buy other digital products
B．impossible to buy something else
C．a very wise choice to buy an MP4
D．an exciting experience to buy an MP3

The English are famous for their manners． The phrase, “Manners maketh the man” was coined by Englishman William of Wykeham back in 1324, but they’re just as important today． Books are written on the subject, advice columns in magazines tell people how to behave, and “finishing schools” still exist to ensure that young girls become young “l(fā)adies”．
The best example of English manners is in their mastery of the art of forming a queue． It is a popular joke in England （the land of sporting failures） to say, “if only queuing was an Olympic sport, we’d win hands down．” No one knows exactly how and when it started, but queuing plays an important role in the English social make-up． School children are taught to queue for roll-call, assembly and lunch, and English people across the land form orderly queues at shops, banks, cinemas and bus-stops every day． The English obviously aren’t the only people who queue, but they seem to do it better than anyone else． As one visitor said, “I have travelled across Europe, the Middle and Far East and nowhere have I seen the single-file queues which are formed in England．”
The English are also famously polite when it comes to language． Whereas many other notions are more direct in their communication, the English prefer a more indirect form of asking for things． For example, an American who wants to talk to a colleague might say, “Got a minute?”; however an English person will often use a more indirect means might of requesting the chat, “Sorry to bother you, but would you possibly have a minute or so to have a quick chat if you don’t mind, please?”
The English also love to apologize for things． When squeezing past someone, people say “sorry”． And they will apologize if you bump into them, “whoops! Sorry! My fault．” In fact, no one seems to say “sorry” as much as the English: “sorry I’m late． /Sorry I forgot to call you last night．/I’m sorry you didn’t get the e-mail．” And so on． They also like to use “please” and “thank you” a lot． In a shop, they will say, “I’d like a packet of crisp, please． Thanks．” British students thank their lectures, and bosses often thank their employees for doing their jobs．
小題1: Why does “finishing schools” still exist to help young girls become “l(fā)adies”?
A．Because the English mind their manners very much．
B．Because the English parents want to marry their daughters to the royal family．
C．Because the English girls are so rude that they need to be taught to be polite．
D．Because the English government ensures their existence．
小題2:The underlined sentence in paragraph2 implies ________________．
A．The English love the Olympics very much．
B．The English spend nothing winning an Olympic medal．
C．The English are best at queuing．
D．The English prefer to queue with their hands down．
小題3: According to the passage, if Americans say “Waiter! Could I have another fork, please?” how will the English express such a meaning?
A．Excuse me! Give me another fork, please!
B．Excuse me! I have to be a bother, but would you mind awfully changing this fork, please?
C．Hi! Would you mind giving me another fork?
D．Waiter! Come here and change the fork!
小題4:According to the passage, why do the employers often thank their employees for doing their jobs?
A．The employees can bring them a lot of benefits．
B．The employees finish their jobs perfectly．
C．The English employers’ good manners lead them to do so．
D．The employers do it as a result of the company’s regulation．

Employment practices often reflect the needs of employers several decades ago．Times have changed．And so too has the Canadian workforce．Yet many employment practices have not kept pace with this change．For example, some work environments and washrooms designed for able-bodied workers seldom accommodate people who use a wheelchair．
Modernizing these practices is what employment equality is about．For example, making sure work benches and washrooms are adapted for disabled people entering the workplace paves the way for workers who become disabled on the job．By doing so, any given group of people? formerly discriminated against-now has access to better employment opportunities．
The objective, of course, is to make the workplace reflect Canadian society．However, this does not necessarily mean setting and enforcing quotas(實行配額）. Rather, it means identifying the barriers to employment and designing measures, with achievable goals and clear timetables, to remove them．
For example, according to the Canadian Union of Public Employees-Canada’s largest union, it would be unrealistic in the short term to insist that because half of the working age population is women, that half of the employees of an engineering firm should be women．At this moment, there would not be enough qualified female engineers．
A reasonable numerical goal would be based on the number of women who actually are engineers （8% ） and those who are studying to become engineers （25% ）．A short term goal of 13% would be appropriate without running the risk of hiring unqualified people．
Equally important is to ensure people who have been disadvantaged the chance to become qualified for new opportunities．If aboriginal people （土著居民） , for example, can’t qualify for certain jobs because they haven’t had access to appropriate educational opportunities, then an employment equality program would have to address that problem with training programs.
Employment laws in this country cannot be considered displeasing if they guarantee all Canadians fair and equal access to the workforce.
小題1:The passage is mainly about how to ____.
A．modernize equipment for the disabled at work
B．achieve equality of employment opportunities
C．protect women’s rights in employment
D．complete a job training program
小題2:The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refers to ____.
A．barriersB．measuresC．goalsD．timetables
小題3:The example of women shows that ____.
A．only a small percentage of women engineers will get promoted
B．13% of the working age women should be hired as engineers
C．policy makers should adopt a practical and flexible approach
D．the quota of women for employment should be raised
小題4:The underlined word "address" in Paragraph 6 probably means _
A．put forwardB．run intoC．find outD．deal with
