The life-long benefits of teaching children how to take care of their money make it well worth the effort. Children who are not taught these lessons pay the consequences for a life time. Some parents don’t teach children about money because they think they shouldn’t talk about money with children, don’t have the time, or think they don’t have enough money. Parents should take the time to teach children about money regardless of their income and should start when children are young.
Most people have strong feelings and opinions about money, based on childhood experiences and the values and beliefs of their families. Most often, these experiences, values, and beliefs are different for each parent. Parents should talk about these feelings and opinions and establish an unchanging approach（方式） to teaching children about money. This is important for the healthy development of children.
Here are some tips that parents can keep in mind as they begin teaching their children to manage money:
★ Guide and advise your children how to spend their money, rather than tell them what they can and cannot do.
★ Encourage and praise children rather than criticize their actions.
★ Allow children to learn by mistakes and by successes.
★ Be consistent（前后一致的） while taking children’s differences into consideration.
★ Include all family members in money management discussions, decision making, and activities that are suitable for their age. As children get older include them in discussions of limits and consequences.
★ Expect all family members to do some everyday chores based on their abilities without being paid.
★ Express your desire to have things you can’t afford. Children need to know that parents say “no” to themselves, too.
小題1:It is _____ for parents to teach their children about money management in their childhood.
A．easyB．uselessC．too earlyD．beneficial
小題2:15-year-old Harry isn’t good at managing his money. His mother is advised to _____.
A．explain to him how to manage his money better

D．a(chǎn)llow him to buy what he wants
小題3:When parents discuss how to manage the family finances, they should _____.
A．include their children in the discussion
B．express their desire to have some valuable things
C．pay more attention to their children’s differences

Since the beginning of the year, smog has covered parts of North China. In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM 2.5 readings terrified many people, and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory（呼吸系統(tǒng)）and heart diseases.
Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.
So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.
Smog especially is a common concern. Like a popular online post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or vocation. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.
At a meeting on Monday, many Representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. “After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question: Why do we want to develop? It's for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life," he said.
China needs to develop its economy and invest(投資) in high-tech. Every Chinese wants a strong country. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can migrate to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth.
What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China. Former president Hu Jintao spoke at the 18th Party Congress last November saying that great efforts must be made to promote ecological progress and build a beautiful China. The words have shown the central government's resolution to address the environment issue.
小題1:The effect of smog doesn’t include.
A．the rising of PM 2.5 readings
B．more people suffering diseases
C．the increase of people’s income
D．patients increased in hospital
小題2:Why smog has become a common concern?
A．Because people have to pay higher prices.
B．Because nobody can avoid it.
C．Because we have to develop industry.
D．Because a popular online-post discussed it.
小題3:The underlined word “they” in paragraph 6 refers to.
A．human beingsB．other plants
C．space technologiesD．industrial development
小題4:From the last two paragraphs we can infer that.
A．high-tech can completely solve the problem of pollution
B．space technologies should be developed in a large scale
C．we can move to the Mars after the earth has been destroyed
D．we must protect the environment while developing economy

The argument over a Philadelphia school district accused of secretly spying on pupils through laptop cameras became fiercer today after it acknowledged obtaining more than 56,000 images of its students, many of them in their homes.
When the scandal (丑聞) first broke, it was believed that only a few pictures had been taken of one pupil, Blake Robbins. But court papers released this week showed that thousands of images were taken of Robbins and other students.
Robbins and his parents have filed an action against the school district. Court papers from the Robbins’s lawyers said that at first it was thought that the laptops’ technology had produced a few images but they found more than 400 of Robbins, including images “showing him partially undressed and sleeping”.
Robbins said he did not know why the spying device was activated (激活) as his laptop had not been reported stolen or missing. Other students whose pictures were taken said their laptops had not been reported stolen or missing either.
An administrator at the school, one of the few with authority to track the laptops, remained silent, refusing to answer questions.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that 38,500 of the images came from six laptops that had been reported missing from the Harriton gym in September 2008. These apparently helped the police catch a suspect. Another set of images were from cameras in laptops which employees responsible for tracking failed or forgot to turn off.
The court papers, filed by Robbins’ lawyers, said that the technology was activated between 20 October and 4 November last year, with most of the 400 shots of him while he was in his home, and included his family. “There were additional webcam pictures and screen shots taken of Blake Robbins which, up to now, have not been recovered because the evidence was deleted by the IT department,” the court papers say.
One of Robbins’ lawyers is trying to obtain access to the administrator’s home computer to confirm whether she downloaded any of the pictures. The court papers indicate she may be a voyeur (窺隱私者) though it has not been proved.
小題1:We can learn from the passage that _________.
A．Robbins’ parents remained calm over the scandal
B．Robbins had his laptop stolen before the scandal
C．the laptops’ technology produced some images
D．the private rights of the students were offended
小題2:What did The Philadelphia Inquirer say about the case?
A．The police had found some evidence.
B．Most of the laptops in Harriton gym were missing.
C．Employees in charge of tracking deliberately left the laptops on.
D．There was obviously more than one suspect related to the case.
小題3:According to the court papers, the administrator _________.
A．may have spied her students on purpose
B．may have broken into Robbin’s house
C．has downloaded many students’ pictures
D．has removed evidence from computers
小題4: What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Modern technology has negative effects on our lives.
B．Students in Philadelphia are accustomed to being spied on secretly.
C．A Philadelphia school is charged with spying students through laptop cameras.
D．The American government should take measures to improve teachers’ qualities.

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(傘蓬)built into a street lamp.” he said.
The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(傳感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the biberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
小題1:For what purpose did Belyacv create the lampbrella?
A．To predict a heavy rain B．To check the weather forecast
C．To protect people from the rain D．To remind people to take an umbrella
小題2:What do we know from Belyacv’s words in Paragraph2?
A．His creation was inspired by an experience
B．it rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg
C．Street lamps are protected by canopies
D．He enjoyed taking walks in the rain
小題3:Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?
A．motor→canopy→sensors B．Sensors→motor→canopy
C．motor→sensors→canopyD．canopy→motor→sensors
小題4:What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?
A．Its moving speed B．Its appearance
C．Its installation D．Its safety
小題5:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The designer will open a company to promote his product
B．The lampbrella could be put into immediate production
C．The designer is confident that his creation is practical
D．The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow

Since the beginning of history, man has been attracted by the idea of living forever, of winning the fight against death and disease. So far, this has only remained a dream. Many people have wondered whether it would be possible to find a way to preserve human bodies, and what would be the best way.
It has long been known that meat of fruit can be kept fresh for long periods by freezing; in ancient China, for example, food was stored with ice to keep it fresh. This method could also be useful for preserving humans.
However, most living beings that exist under warm conditions die when frozen. This is because of the harmful effects of freezing ice crystals(晶體), which not only are larger than the volume(體積) of the water originally in the cells, but also form sharp cutting shapes that harm the cells.
In the 1940s Dr B.J. Luyet and a group of scientists in England were working on the problem of freezing cells without damaging them. Since the harm caused by ice crystals was the main cause of damage, Luyet suggested removing some or all of the water from the cells before freezing them.
Using living cells form chicken, Luyet and his assistants discovered that they could partly dry the chicken cells, using a mixture of the white part of an egg and glycerin (丙三醇). Some success was obtained. The chicken cells were dried, frozen for a period of time, and then carefully unfrozen. Almost all the cells recovered when they reached normal temperatures.
Since then, the cooling of whole animals to a temperature far below freezing point for later unfreezing has become more of a possibility, and the glycerin method would probably be used to accomplish this. When this can be done completely and successfully, science will have moved much closer to its aim of freezing and storing incurable patients until the day they can be cured.
小題1:What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Easy but practical ways to remove water from living cells.
B．The possibility of preserving human bodies by freezing.
C．The practice of preserving food by freezing.
D．The harmful effects of freezing.
小題2:The idea of freezing human bodies to preserve them ______________.
A．has already been realized
B．was invented in ancient China
C．has its roots in the way of storing food
D．is widely accepted by the scientific world
小題3:According to the text, freezing _________________.
A．is harmful to living cells
B．is the best way of preserving food
C．reduces the volume of water in living cells
D．is a way of removing water from living cells
小題4:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．It is impossible to have whole animals frozen.
B．It remains unknown how to unfreeze frozen animals.
C．Freezing incurable patients for later treatment is still an idea.
D．The glycerin method has already been adopted to treat patients.

Air is an odorless (無氣味的), invisible (看不見的) gas that surrounds the earth. It is everywhere on the planet. An “empty” drinking glass and an “empty” room, to give two examples, are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with water, the water pushes the air out of the glass.
Air, as a gas, has no definite (明確的) shape, but, because it is matter, it takes up space. It is easy to prove that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a dry handkerchief into the bottom（底部） of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside-down. Push the upside-down glass; hold it straight into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of water, the handkerchief will be dry. The air inside the glass takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.
小題1:What does the underlined word “Stuff” (in Paragraph 2) mean?
A．Press tightly. B．Take out.
C．Put down.D．Turn fully.
小題2:The writer tells us that _______.
A．the experiment is done in the laboratory
B．the experiment is done outside the room
C．the experiment is easily done
D．the experiment is carried out indoors
小題3:Which of the following pictures gives us the correct result?
( W—water;  A—air;  H—handkerchief )

Few of us act alone in the real world. Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people. Group projects are great practice for high school, college, and real life, when you will probably have a job that requires working with others. Right now, group projects can be fun and they often allow you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could alone. With group work, you can actually learn more in less time.
Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not otherwise know or talk with. Group projects are also a great way to practice skills you’re not so sure of. For example: working on a deadline, staying organized, or being patient. And if you’re a little nervous talking in front of a group, a joint project can help you become more comfortable with it. Maybe your group will pick you to tell the whole class about your project. If so, you’ll know your whole group is rooting for you!
One of the most important things about group work is talking and meeting together. It’s a good idea to continually check with everybody on their progress to see if anyone needs help. You might think the first step is to figure out who will do what, but actually it’s getting to know another a little. Take a few minutes to chat. Even if you know each other well, it can help to take a minute to think about your skills and share your strengths and weaknesses. The second step is to go over ground rules from your teacher and any that you want to create together as a group.
小題1:Group projects can give you a chance to do the following EXCEPT ________.
A．get to know more friendsB．learn more than you do alone
C．work in an organized wayD．get rid of shyness forever
小題2:The underlined phrase “root for” in the second paragraph means _______.
A．likeB．supportC．offerD．prevent
小題3:What’s the purpose in checking others’ progress?
A．To learn what they will do next.
B．To find good topics to talk with them about.
C．To help them when they need help.
D．To make sure that their work is finished on time.
小題4: According to the passage, we can infer that _______.
A．group members should be your close friends
B．talking with group members should be the first step of group work
C．knowing persons is more important than your projects
D．rules from teachers are more important than working among group members
