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.From the passage we know _______________________.

A. the more you rent, the less you pay

B. the longer you rent, the less you pay

C. if you rent a TV set for a long time, service and spare parts will be free

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

A. One and a half months’ hire free of charge.

B. One month’s hire free of charge.

C. Half a month’s hire free of charge.

3.What does “pay in advance” mean?

A. You pay the rent for a period of time before you actually get the television.

B. You pay the rent in front of anyone.

C. You will be the first to pay the rent.

4.If you want to rent a color television, ____________________.

A. leasing company (租賃公司) can have your set installed the same day

B. you can have a choice of sets to rent

C. leasing company will install an aerial for you free of charge

5.This passage is a (an) _______________________.
