Renting a color television makes more sense than buying. Here’s why:
1. The longer you rent (租), the less you pay. Each year the monthly rate is reduced. You can reach a low rate of not much more than $12 a week.
2. Service is fast and free(免費(fèi)). We can have your set installed (安裝) in two days. If anything goes wrong, we’ll have it fixed the same day or lend you another set while we’re mending it. And don’t forget: service and spare parts are free!
3. If you don’t have an aerial (天線), we’ll install one for you, and that will be free, too. All you have to pay is the installation charge (安裝費(fèi))!
4. You can choose from all kinds of models, and what’s more, if after a certain period of time, and you would like a new model, you can change. How’s that for service?
5. No deposit (押金) is needed. You pay only the monthly rental fee. But if you pay in advance, you can save money. Pay twelve months’ fees when you begin to hire, and we’ll give you a month’s hire(雇用) without charge.
6. If you decide that you want to stop renting and buy the set you have on hire, this can be arranged—with a generous allowance (折扣) for the fees already paid

  1. 1.

    From the passage we know _______________________

    1. A.
      the more you rent, the less you pay
    2. B.
      the longer you rent, the less you pay
    3. C.
      if you rent a TV set for a long time, service and spare parts will be free
  2. 2.

    What is the good of paying twelve months’ fees when you begin to hire?

    1. A.
      One and a half months’ hire free of charge
    2. B.
      One month’s hire free of charge
    3. C.
      Half a month’s hire free of charge
  3. 3.

    What does “pay in advance” mean?

    1. A.
      You pay the rent for a period of time before you actually get the television
    2. B.
      You pay the rent in front of anyone
    3. C.
      You will be the first to pay the rent

The Statue of Liberty, which has been closed to the public since super storm Sandy struck in October, will reopen by July 4.
The Statue of Liberty was presented to the United States by the French people in 1886. It stands at Liberty Island as a welcome to all returning Americans.
It’s five months since the monument and Liberty Island were shut down after the storm.
While the statue itself was not seriously harmed by the storm, several buildings on the island experienced the terrible flood. The way used by ships carrying visitors from lower Manhattan and New Jersey was also destroyed.
It’s good news, it’s a little late, but at least it’s there, and now we’ll watch like an eagle to make sure this promise is kept,” Schumer told NBC New York.
In January, the government spent $59 million repairing both Liberty Island and nearby Ellis Island, which was also damaged in the storm. But the officers have not announced when Ellis Island will reopen. In November, more than a million art works had to be removed from the museum there because of the storm. The Statue of Liberty is one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions. According to the National Park Service, more than 3.7 million people visit the site every year
