In the afternoon he went out to work in his garden. It soon began to rain, and Mr. Ford had to run into his house. He ran quickly, but he still got wet.
Then his sweater started to shrink. It got smaller and smaller. Mr. Ford tried to take it off, but he couldn’t.
In the end, with the help of his wife, he got out of the sweater. Mrs. Ford laughed, “ You see, you bought a cheap thing, but…” 阅读短文，然后根据文章内容判断下列各句是否正确，对的用“T”、错误的用“F”表示。
1. Mr. Ford bought the sweater because it was very nice and cheap.
2. “Shrink” here means “become smaller”. 3. Mr. Ford was not good at buying things.
4. Mr. Ford put the sweater on as soon as he bought it. 5. Mr. Ford took off the sweater by himself. 【答案与解的】
1. T. 第1小题的句意与文章的第1自然段意思相同，所以符合短文内容。
2. T. 从文章的第四自然段可知shrink的意思就是become smaller。所以符合短文内容。
3. T. Ford先生上午买的衣服下午穿在身上被雨水打湿后就缩小变形了，由此可知Ford先生不擅长买东西。
4. F. 从文章中的When he went back home he put the sweater on.可知, 他是买了带回家才穿的。所以第四小题与短文内容不相符合。 5. F. 从文章的最后一段可知他是在妻子的帮助下才把衣服给脱下来的。所以与短文内容不相符合。
中考英语阅读理解：机器时代带来的经济危机
Most people want to work, but it has become more difficult in today’s world to find work for everyone. The economy (经济) of the world needs to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for people. Often this is not possible, and so more people are out of work. Some people have no jobs now because
new machines can do the work of many people in short time. Also, machines do not ask for more money and longer holiday. In all of the countries of the world, machines are taking work from people, not only in factories but also on the farms. One machine can often do the work from forty people. About 75,000 people are moving to the cities a day to look for jobs, but only 70% of them can find jobs.

中考英语阅读理解：展示自己的业余爱好
One day, Mr White told the class to get ready for a hobby show. All the students had the whole morning to get what they were going to show.
All the students came back on time except Bob, the laziest boy in his classmates’ eyes. It was very difficult to believe that such a boy could have a hobby. But to their surprise, Bob came back with many beautiful stamps in his hand. Mr White was very happy after watching them. However, Bob was going to take them back. “Bob, you can’t take them back until the others watch them this afternoon,” said Mr White.
“But I’m sorry they are my brother’s,” he answered. “He doesn’t want them to be out of our home for long. He’s afraid that they will be lost.”
“Bob, you should show your own hobby here, not someone else’s” Mr White became a bit angry.
But Bob’s following words made him even angrier. “Mr White, it’s true that I have a hobby. My hobby is watching my brother collecting stamps.”
