The "ant tribe"(蚁族) are those who were born in the 1980s and now live in the underdeveloped places of big cities. Most of them come from the countryside, and they are mostly young graduates who have finished their high education in the past few years. They don't have a stable job and their average salary is below 2,000 yuan. They are called "ant tribe" because they have the same characters as "ants": living together, clever, hardworking but unknown and low-paid.

Deng Kun is a member of the "ant tribe". When he was in college studying math, he imagined himself working for a company like Lenovo. Instead, he has spent his time after graduation in a dark and small room he shares with a friend in outside parts of Beijing, playing video games or trying to wait for a job as a salesman.

Zhang Haijian studied physics, but he is now working as a waiter, making only l,500 yuan a month. "My parents would never say anything about my money," he said. "But I sometimes talk with my friends about whether it has been worth it - we worked so hard in college and now I get money less than some of my classmates who did not finish middle school."

Most members of the "ant tribe" are about twenty. They don't want to go back. They prefer a single bed in Beijing to a house in their hometown. They are looking forward to a bright future. We wish their dreams would come true.

33. Most of the members of the "ant tribe" are about _______ years old.

A. 15~20 B. 20~30 C. 30~40 D. 40~45

34. What does the underlined word "stable" mean in this passage?

A. 安逸的 B. 烦恼的 C. 稳定的 D. 艰苦的

35. In Zhang Haijian's opinion, _______.

A. being a waiter is kind of interesting

B. his parents would like to talk with him about money

C. as a college graduate he makes too little money

D. earning 1,500 yuan a month is enough

36. The members of the "ant tribe" would rather live a hard life in Beijing mainly because _______.

A. they are looking forward to their bright future

B. it takes less time for them to go to work

C. they enjoy their lifestyle

D. they want to save money for their parents

D

Sometimes people call ours a "throwaway society". That means that we're always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn't like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a nearby family who has a little kid? That's one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. It's also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy store.

Here are some other ways to help save resources for the society:

* Use the other side of the paper.

* Use rechargeable(可再充电的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones and cameras.

* Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (-次性的) paper or plastic cups.

* Take your own cloth shopping bags when you go shopping.

* Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.

And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away.

37. The underlined word "ours" in the passage refers to(指代)_______.

A. our society B. our old things

C. our life D. our throwaway things

38. According to the writer, if we give a second-hand toy car to a neighbor kid, we can _______.

A. buy another new one B. help toy business develop

C. make the family very thankful to us D. help save resources for the society

39. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. We should buy things that can be reused in our daily life.

B. We can exchange some things with others for further use,

C. It's good for us to throw away old things and buy new ones.

D. We are supposed to give the things we no longer need to our neighbors.

40. What should we do in our daily life after reading the passage?

A. Try to throw as few old things as we can.

B. Use as many disposable things as possible.

C. Drink bottled water even though there is tap water around.

D. Buy everything we need instead of exchanging them with others.
