The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has \
printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most products for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.

Passage 3
For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world's greatest dramatist (剧作家).
Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare's writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.
XI
Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, makes full use of the great resources of the English language.
Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.
There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness, and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare's day. 51. English people _______.
A. have never discussed who is the world's greatest dramatist B. never discuss any issue concerning the world's greatest dramatist C. are sure who is the world's greatest dramatist

B. Shakespeare's writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English. C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they use. D. All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare 54.”HAMLET” is . A. a play written by Shakespeare B. a play recommended by Shakespeare C. a play appreciated by Shakespeare D. a play people have been complaining about
55. Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English? A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare's time.
B. By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language. C. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare's time. D. English words are now the same various ways as in Shakespeare's time. Passage 4
Most cities and/or states in the U.S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is,and what items are and not taxable .

XII

If you don’t, the service person can’t earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of you bill (before taxes),but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much.
