In the past, a city's major shopping district was in its downtown area. People could get downtown more easily than they could get to other parts of the City. Before the 1960s, the best way to travel in a city was on a street-car, a subway, a railroad, or an elevated train. All of these ran on tracks that led downtown.
As our cities grew outward, people living far from the center of town needed a place they could drive to quickly. Driving downtown was difficulty. Finding a parking space downtown was something impossible People also needed a shopping place where they could park easily.
To meet the shopping needs of people living in the suburbs, groups of businesses moved farther out, too. Today most suburbs have large shopping centers.
Modern and well-planned shopping centers are built on large areas of ground. They have even more space for parking than they do for stores. The shopping centers have many different kinds of stores. Often, the shoppers can do all their shopping in one place.
The very large shopping centers have malls which make shopping pleasant. The mall is an area between stores set aside for walking. Shoppers can stroll from store to store and enjoy beautiful fountains, statues, and plants. There are benches so that
shoppers may rest. Some shopping centers have malls with roofs that protect shoppers from the weather outside.

Life insurance isn't fun to buy. It forces you to think about your death. a subject many prefer not to face But there's a single. Important reason to buy life insurance to
provide an income for your dependents if you die
Don't depend only on an agent to plan your life-insurance needs. Rough estimates are guesses they may produce too little or too much insurance. Carry too little insurance and you may not provide a reasonable standard of living for your family after your death; carry too much and you may not enjoy a reasonable standard of living while you're alive.
Most people who have life insurance don't have enough. The medium amount of coverage for all adults with life insurance was only $15. 000 in 1984. That's obviously not enough to sustain (使持续) a family with young children for very long. Nationwide insurance found that the married men in its 1984 survey carried an average about $43 516 worth insurance but needed some $98507 more.
How do you determine the amount of life insurance you would need to maintain your family's current life-style if the bread-winner died? First, calculate what your family's expenses would be if you died tomorrow. Then analyze your assets (财富) and the sources of income that you can use to cover the expenses. Finally, subtract (减去) the assets from the needs. The result is the amount of additional two insurance that you'll need to buy.
41. The passage intends to tell us that life insurance A) should be bought by ourselves B) is important to our life C) has a lot of advantages D) must be carefully calculated 42. Why is life insurance not fun to buy?
A) Because many people do not like to think of it. B) Because many people do not know how to buy it C) Because it reminds us that we may die one day. D) Because it forces us to take care of our dependents. 43. Why can’t we depend on agents to buy insurance for us? A) Because they may charge too much from us.
B) Because they may not buy the right amount of insurance for us.
C) Because they may not look upon insurance differently from us. 45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A) Most people buy insurance when they are alive B) Those who buy insurance seldom think of their family. C) Life insurance is usually bought right before one dies. D) People tend to buy less insurance than needed: Task3
