阅读理解。     How do you pay for things? Do you usually use cash (现金), or do you like to pay by credit card (信用卡)? If you are like a lot of people, you probably have at least one credit card. Also, you might use it more often than you probably should.
     Credit cards first became popular in the 1920s, At that time, businesses, such as hotels and companies,
gave credit cards to their best customers (顾客). Unlike today"s credit cards, customers could only use these
cards at the Store or business that gave out the card. Customers had to pay for things in full. They couldn"t pay
for something a little at a time.
     In 1950, a businessman named McNamara started a credit card company - Diners Club. Unlike earlier
credit cards, this card could be used by customers at many restaurants. Customers liked the card because they
didn"t have to carry a lot of cash with them. Restaurant owners liked the card, too. Why? They found out that
customers usually spent more money when they could pay by credit card.
     In its first year of business, Diners Club issued 200 cards, The customers who got the cards from the
Diners Club could use them at 27 different restaurants. Today, Diners Club has about 8 million customers,
and they can use their cards in over 7. 6 million businesses in more than 200 countries. 1. What can we know about the earlier credit cards from the passage? A. They could be used everywhere.

根据短文内容,判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示,不正确的用“B”表示。      Jia Meng used to keep a diary (日记) in Chinese. But one year ago, the 14-year-old girl from Hei Longjiang
began to write her diary in English, because Jia found her mother was reading her diary secretly. She changed
the language because her mother can"t read English."It"s like killing two birds with one stone." said Jia, "My
privacy (隐私) became safe and my English improves a lot."
     Jia"s mother is not the only mom who reads her child"s diary. Recently, Renmin University of China had a
national survey among over 2, 3000 parents. The results show that 40% of parents read their children"s secrets.
That"s why, like Jia, many teenagers try to find ways to protect (保护) their privacy.
     Wu Lei, 15, of Shanxi, keeps a diary, too. But he doesn"t write in on paper. He writes online which he thinks
is perfectly safe because his parents "know nothing about the Internet."
     Lu Huan, 13, of Guangdong, said her parents always secretly listened to the talk between her friends and her
on the telephone in their room. To solve this problem, Lu asked her parents to buy her a mobile phone.
     "Parents want to know what is going on in their children"s lives," said Shao Xiazhen, a teenage expert in
Beijing. "But sometimes they go about it the wrong way." Shao suggested to teenagers that instead of hiding
their secrets, talking to parents is a better solution. "If your parents know that you are safe, they"ll let you keep
your secrets." (     )1. Jia Meng writes her diary in English in order to improve her English.

阅读理解。     In general, it"s hard to spend enough time in both concentrating on lessons and taking part in social
activities. But I wanted to succeed in both. I knew this would be a challenge but I didn"t realize how difficult
it was until my classes in the high school began, I got on well with other girls. After school, I often had ice
cream with them first instead of finishing my homework before it was time to hand it in, I always finished it
the next day between classes.I knew it wasn"t very good and the grades that I got showed I was not
hard-working enough. I realized that I needed to find some kind of balance.
     So I created a timetable that would divide my time between studying and relaxing. It was a good idea but
I was only able to follow it for a few days because it made me under too much pressure.
     Later, I tried another plan. Each week I listed everything that I had to get done during the week and the
time by which I had to get it done. Then under the things I had to do, I made another list of things that I
could do if I had time.
     It worked really well. Ever since I have never missed any important things. At the same time, I enjoyed
my spare time a lot.
     Planning my time has been challenging, but I continue to do it. I"m glad that I"ve learned to balance things
and it has helped prepare for what is coming after graduation. 1. At first, when did the writer always finish her homework?A. After school was over.

B. Because it wasn"t a good idea.
C. Because it brought her too much pressure. 3. What wasn"t included in the writer"s second time plan?A. The things she shouldn"t do.
B. The things she had to get done.
C. The things she could do if she had time. 4. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. The writer had few friends because of bad grades.
