(40points)Text 1The American economic system is organized around a basically private-enterprise, market-oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produc

28、ed by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most. Privatebusinessmen, striving to make profits, produce thesegoods and services in competition with other businessmen;and the profit motive, operating under competitive pressures, largely determines how the

29、se goods and services are produced. Thus, in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers, coupled with the desireof businessmen toize profits and the desire of individuals toize their incomes, that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to prod

30、uce it.An important factor in a market-oriented economy is the mechanism by which consumer demands can be expressed and responded to by producers. In the American economy, this mechanism is provided by a price system, a process in which prices rise and fall in response to relative demands of consume

31、rs and supplies offered by seller-producers. If the product is in short supply relative to the demand, the price will be bid up and some consumers will be eliminated from the market. If, on the other hand, producing more of a commodity results in reducing its cost, this will tend to increase the sup

32、ply offered by seller-producers, which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product. Thus, price is the regulating mechanism in the American economic system.The important factor in a private-enterprise economy is that individuals are allowed to own productive resources (

33、private property), and they are permitted to hire labor, gain control over natural resources, and produce goods and services for sale at a profit. In the American economy, the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights, including the r

34、ight to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract with another private individual.51.In Line 8, Paragraph 1, “the desire of individuals to incomes” means.ize theirABCAmericans AmericansAmericansare never satisfied with their incomes tend to overstate their incomeswant to have their

They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home,

38、across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more ofthese credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the “cashless

39、 society” is not on the horizon - its already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom

40、. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are t

41、he mostefficient, allowingnel and staffing assignments to be madeaccordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, wh

42、ich to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theatersto magazine publishers, from processors, bring better and through the use of computers.gas

For these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.

47、Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance ofthe supporting players and the scenery of the play itself.Both the family andthe society in wh

48、ich exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development.And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of societys understanding - the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.Education in any society is a mirror of that society.

49、 In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens,whatever t

50、heir special conditions, deserve the opportu develop their capabilities.to fully“All men are created equal.” Weve heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this countrys founders to denote equality before the law, i

51、t has also been interpreted to mean equalityof opportu. Thatconcept implies educational opportufor allchildren - the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capacity, whether that capacity be small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all c

52、hildren - disabled or not - to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programs, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from reg

53、ular programs.59.In Paragraph 2, the author cites the example of the leading actor on the stage to show that.A the growth of exceptional children has much to do with their family and the societyB exceptional children are more influenced by their families than normal children areC exceptional children are the key interest of the family and societyD the needs of the society weigh much heavier than the needs of the exceptional children60.The reason that the exceptional children rec
