第4题：
A survey has shown that people have stopped believing both the media and politicians. A similar survey carried out 5 years ago showed that 50% of people thought that what politicians said was usually not true, and that 35% of people thought that what they saw on the television or read in newspapers was not true. Now both those figures have increased sharply, to 80% of people not believing politicians and 70% not believing the television or newspapers. Experts think that these figures are not going to come down in the near future.
Stories about politicians and journalists taking money from businessmen have caused the public to stop trusting them. Also politicians keep making promises that they do not keep. Mr Smith of York said, ‘When the politicians make new laws, they only help their friends, not people like me’. Mrs Marley of Leeds said, ‘The newspapers and television are not interested in what is true; they are only interested in money for advertising’.
It has got worse recently as more people can get news from the Internet and learn if the journalists and politicians are telling the truth or not. What can our politicians and journalists do? The only answer is to be more honest.

第6题：
In face of the current stock market, most stock-holders_____.
［A］ stop injecting more money into the stock market
［B］ react angrily to the devaluing stock
［C］ switch their money around in the market
［D］ turn a deaf ear to the warning
本题考虑事实细节题。第四段第一句提到，许多投资者（savers）对拥有太多公司股票的危险视而不见。［D］项是该句的改写，其中turn a deaf ear对应原文中的shut their eyes to，the warning对应the dangers。
第三段作者通过休伊特（Hewitt）咨询公司的职员的介绍说明，投资者仍在不断地投钱（keeping their contributions up），但是他们不太愿意把资金转投其他地方了（less inclined to switch their money around）。由此排除［A］和［C］项。第三段末句“投资者普遍感到吃惊（overwhelmed）”指的就是持股者对股市不景气的反应。因此［B］项与事实不符。
