"Tomorrow we’ll see the Golden Gate Bridge." said Peter. "I’ve never seen a golden bridge before." Peter’s father smiled, but said nothing. Peter would soon see the bridge.
The next morning, his father took Peter to the bridge. How big it looked! And the bridge was red!
"It isn’t named for its colour," said his father. "It’s named for the Golden Gate."
"What’s the Golden Gate" asked Peter.
"A gate is either an opening, or a thing that closes an opening," said his father. "The Golden Gate is an opening in the land. Water from the sea comes through this opening into San Francisco Bay."
"Oh", said Peter. "And the bridge is over the opening. But why is the opening called the Golden Gate"
"Years ago men came here to took for gold. Many came by ship. For them it was a gate to gold."
"Well, I still think the bridge should look golden."
When peter got home, he sent a letter to a newspaper. In the letter he said: "Red is not the right colour for the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge should look golden, the way most people think it does."
Peter sent all the money he had saved with his letter. "This money is to help paint the bridge, "he wrote.
Many people read Peter’s letter. Right away, things began to happen! Some people sent money. A big company gave real gold.
But not all the people wanted to change the colour of the bridge. Will the Golden Gate Bridge ever be golden

A:looked very big B:was an opening to gold for men looking for old years ago C:was over San Francisco Bay D:all A, B, and C

My son, Johnny, opened a new restaurant, and on the opening day I helped out in the kitchen. By mid-morning, I noticed that the cakes we had ordered hadn’t come. Johnny and I decided not to tell it to anyone else, hoping that the cakes would arrive soon.
They still hadn’t come when, just before noon, a man eating in our restaurant wanted a cake. I suggested that I run to the bakery next door to get some, and Johnny readily agreed. Going out of our back door, I knocked on the back door of the bakery and bought a few from the baker’s helper. That cake was the only one we sold all day.
After closing, Johnny and I sat discussing things with my daughter, who had been out from serving. "An interesting thing happened just before noon," she said. "The owner of the bakery next door came in and ordered a cake of ours. She wanted to compare it with hers./
We know from the passage that ______.

A:the baker next door came to help with the opening B:the new restaurant did not prepare all its foods C:the son and the daughter served at the tables D:the customers enjoyed the cakes very much

Questions from 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: China’s entrance into the World Trade Organization(WTO) will benefit not only itself but the whole world, said an article in People’s Daily. For the last nine years negotiations have gone on concerning restoring China’s status in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT),which is replaced by WTO. The negotiation have drawn attention from all over the world. Only when consensus is reached on key issues, can the final decision, involving more than 100 member states , be made. It is expected that China’s bid will eventually pass, though final details and a timetable have not been decided yet, said the People’s Daily. Over the past years, China has taken important steps to conform with international trade regulations based on the Uruguay-round talks. It is clear that China has made its markets more open, both in commercial and tertiary industries. Since 1992, a series of measures has been taken in lowering tariff rates and reducing non-tariff barriers. These reforms demonstrate China’s readiness to join the WTO. Serious disputes, however,still remain between China and some key member states over the obligations China should undertake. China should be responsible for reform compatible with its current development level, the article stressed. In future negotiations, we should insist on this point and give the member states a clearer understanding of the practical situation in China. China has a population of 1.2 billion, which increases by 10 million each year. The government must be very cautious in reforms to prevent dramatic economic downfalls, which may have disastrous results not only in China but around the world. China’s per capita income remains less than $500, there are still 70 million people who do not have enough for basic food and clothing. The negotiators should bear in mind the country’s development level when they decide the obligations China should assume. Otherwise, negotiation results will be meaningless, or worse; they could stifle the Chinese market. It is like the old Chinese saying: “Killing the hen to get the eggs.” China is in transition from a planned economy to a market one. With such a big population and large economic development scale, a transitional period is necessary for any new reform measure. This is also the case when adopting some international practice.39．According to the passage, what kind of measures has been taken in China since 1992 （ ）

A:lowering tariff rates B:reducing non-tariff barriers C:opening all markets D:Both A and B
