　　For thousands of years, people thought of glass as something beautiful to look at. Only recently have they come to think of it as something to look through. Stores display their goods in large glass windows. Glass bottles and jars that hold food and drink allow us to see the contents. Glass is used to make eyeglasses, microscopes, telescopes, and many other extremely useful and necessary objects.

　　Until the Second World War, most of the glass used for optical(光学的) instruments was imported from Europe. However, during the war Americans could not get European glass, and they were forced to make their own. Therefore, new kinds of glasses were developed that had been previously unknown. These new effects were achieved by mixing other chemical elements with the sand. Some of these new glasses are very strong and can resist many kinds of shocks. Legend has it that a very hard glass was invented by a Roman who showed his discovery to the Emperor. When the Emperor saw the glass he feared that it would become more valuable than gold and sliver, making his treasure worthless. Therefore, he had the glassmaker killed, and the secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years.

　　In the present century, safety glass was invented for use in modern cars and planes. Safety glass is made by placing a layer of plastic between two layers of plate glass. When the outside layer of glass is broken, the pieces do not scatter(散开) and injure people. Some glass of the type is strong enough to resist bullets(子弹).

　　Although nowadays plastics have replaced glass under conditions where glass might be easily broken, there are new uses being developed, for the greatest advantage of glass is that its component(组成的) parts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world.

　　28. As time goes by, glass _________.

　　A. is regarded as transparent(透明的)

　　B. is used to make things look pleasant

　　C. is seen as more than decoration

　　D. is widely used to replace steel in making containers

　　29. Why did Americans make their own glass during the Second World War?

　　A. The war blocked the way of glass import.

　　B. The glass made in Europe was out of date.

　　C. They refused to use the European glass.

　　D. They were able to make a new kind of glass.

　　30. Why does the author tell us the legend?

　　A. To prove the Roman was the first inventor of hard glass.

　　B. To support the Americans were as clever as the Romans.

　　C. To give some information about hard glass.

　　D. To provide a historical event concerned with hard glass.

　　31. Why are new uses of glass being developed?

　　A. Because glass is not as safe as plastics.

　　B. Because glass is cheap and easily obtainable.

　　C. Because glass is not as strong and durable as plastics.

　　D. Because glass is more and more widely used.

　　An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him. You may say something like this, “I’m afraid it’ll have to be some place cheap, as I have very little money.” The other person may say, “OK, I’ll meet you at McDonald’s.” This means that two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Johnson’s”, or “I want you to try the steak(牛排) there. It’s great.” This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may just say, “Thank you. That would be very nice.” American customs about who pays for dates(约会) are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in the business world will usually pay her own way during the day.

　　Vienna－In spite of Iraq’s decision to stop oil deliveries, the 11- nation Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries（OPEC）will not increase production to make up the shortfall, ministers decided Tuesday in Vienna.

　　The 11 oil ministers decided to meet again on July 3 to discuss the effects of the Iraq temporary stop. The organization’s president, Charkid Kheria of Algeria, said after the meeting that stocks were high and prices were stable, so quota increases were not necessary.

　　The E.U. Commission has expressed concern about Iraq’s output stop. A speaker said OPEC had to take all possible measures to keep or lower the oil price.

　　Saudi Arabia’s Oil Minister Ali Al-Nuaimi had earlier said there would not be any shortfall of oil in the market. The organization had already taken steps to fill the gap, he said. OPEC Secretary General Ali Rodriguez added that the period of Iraq’s output stop was not known, so other exporters were not going to lift quotas yet. If the market was destabilized (使……动摇), a suitable response could be made.

　　Iraq on Monday stopped shipments of crude oil to protest against the U.N. Security Council’s decision to extend the oil-for-food programme by only a month, instead of the normal six-month renewal. Just before the Vienna meeting, oil prices had gone up, with a barrel of OPEC crude oil selling for 27.05 dollars, up from 26.81 dollars last Friday. North sea oil was at 29.26 dollars Monday evening.

　　OPEC wants the oil price to stay within a margin of 22 to 28 dollars and achieved that with cuts in January and March that reduced 2.5 million barrels per day off quotas(配额).

　　17. Iraq made the decision to stop oil deliveries because ___________.

　　A. oil price is too low in international market.

　　B. The U.N. Secretary Council has decided to shorten the time of extension of the oil-for-food programme

　　A. active B. concerned C. cold D. surprised

　　19. The 11 oil ministers decided to meet on July 3 so that _________.

　　A. they can persuade Iraq to continue oil production

　　B. they can have a talk with the U.N. Security Council

　　C. they can have a discussion about the effects of Iraq’s temporary output stop

　　D. they can make up their minds to increase oil production

　　20. The main idea of the passage is ________.

　　A. the oil prices in the world were stable though Iraq has stopped oil deliveries

　　B. OPEC has controlled the oil price to stay within a margin of 22 to 28 dollars

　　C. OPEC will not increase oil production to make up the shortfall that caused by Iraq

　　D. Oil is connected with people’s daily life
