If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.
When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market.
The market may be something abstract. But for each person or business that is making and selling something, it is very concrete. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won’t be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn’t want you to do.

Talk about Christmas in July. Carrie Rocha has already started her holiday shopping. “A few weeks back I picked up a $60 toy for $4, and, truth be told, I picked up a whole lot more than that,” she wrote in an email. “I spent about $80 total and got $350+ in toys.”
If you think the holidays start too early as it is, you may find her approach a bit overboard. But several years ago, Rocha and her husband dug out of debt, paying off some $50,000 in consumer debt, a process she detailed in her book and website PocketYourDollars.com. One of their strategies, she says, was to “stop pretending the holidays don’t come every year.”
Whether you want to think about it or not, the fact is the holidays will be here before you know it. So unless you have plenty of money to throw around or plan to forgo festivities altogether, now is the time to start planning for a debt-free and less stressful holiday.
142、According to the passage, why did Rocha buy quite a few toys in July?

材料
In 1959 Frederick Herzberg developed the Two-Factor theory of motivation. His research showed that certain factors were the true motivators or satisfiers. Hygiene factors, in contrast, created dissatisfaction if they were absent or inadequate. Dissatisfaction could be prevented by improvements in hygiene factors but these improvements would not alone provide motivation. Herzberg showed that to truly motivate an employee a business needs to create conditions that make him or her feel fulfilled in the workplace.
C Company aims to motivate its employees both by paying attention to hygiene factors and by enabling satisfiers. For example, it motivates and empowers its employees by appropriate and timely communication, by delegating responsibility and involving staff in decision making. It holds forums every year in which staff can be part of the discussions on pay rises. This shows recognition of the work people do and rewards them. The staff can even influence what food goes onto its restaurant menus. Employees thus become motivated to make choices that will increase their use of the restaurants.
145、According to Herzberg, what may be the factors of motivation?
A、The true motivators
B、The true motivators and the hygiene factors
C、Achievement recognition and job security
D、All above
146、Which situation(s) makes you feel motivated or discouraged because of a hygiene factor?
A、Work happily with the colleagues of our team
B、My boss appreciates my project plan
C、am the best salesperson this year
D、All above
147、What are the factors that make the employees feel motivated after they take part in the discussions on pay rises?
A、Work itself and responsibility
B、Relationship with co-workers and promotion
C、Recognition and achievement
D、Job security and growth

The increasing amount of personal information that can be collected by computer programs that track how people use Facebook has been revealed by an extensive academic study.
Such programs can show undisclosed private information such as Facebook users' sexuality, drug-use habits and even whether their parents separated when they were young, according to the study by the University of Cambridge academics.
In one of the biggest studies of its kind scientists from the university’s team and a Microsoft-funded research center analyzed data from 58,000 Facebook users to predict traits and other information that were not provided in their profiles.
The algorithms were 88 per cent accurate in predicting male sexual orientation, 95 per cent for race and 80 per cent for religion .And political leanings, personality
types and emotional stability were also predicted with accuracy ranging from 62-75 per cent.
The study highlights growing concerns about social networks and how data trails can be mined for sensitive information even when people attempt to keep information about themselves private :Less than 5 per cent of users were connected with explicitly gay groups.
Michal Kosinksi ,one of the report’s authors told the Financial Times that the university’s techniques could easily be replicated by companies to inter personal attributes a person did not wish to share such as sexual orientation or political views:”We used very simple and generic methods :Marketing companies and internet companies could spend much more time and resources and hence get much higher accuracy than we did.
