It"s a goal for millions and millions of families every year to keep the Christmas spending within a certain
amount of money, but you can still afford the gifts because your loved ones will enjoy them. This concern
(忧虑) is becoming greater and greater theses days. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help.
Hit the sales. No one wants to get up at four o"clock in the morning and fight to get a good deal (交易)
on Black Friday (the first Friday at Christmas time). It"s surely very difficult to pick up the courage and get
out there in the cold for a good deal. But sometimes it can be well worth. Many retailers (零售商) offer
specials all through the day. Some even offer online Black Friday specials, so we may still be able to get a
great deal on Black Friday.
Read advertisements regularly. Once the Christmas shopping season is coming, retailers will be hungry
for business. They will try their best to get us into the store. Please read the weekly advertisements of sales
among the major retailers from time to time. We may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same
thing in different shops.
Shop online. Some of us don"t like running from store to store to get the best price on the perfect gift.
Some of us don"t like to go out in the cold at all, and then, we can do online shopping.
The world of online shopping makes it possible for us to visit all the major retailers and some specialty
stores on the Internet. We can find exactly what we are looking for at the best possible price without even
having to leave the house. With traditional Christmas shopping, it will always take us a long time to wait if
we want to get the perfect gift. | | 1. The underlined word"specials" in Paragraph 2 means ______. | A. 赠品

signs beside the highway and it will take you where you wish to go. But to a London taxi driver, driving is
not an easy job. A taxi driver needs to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city
of London, from the loneliest street to the popular restaurant around. He has to be at the service of all kinds of
passengers (乘客) at all times.
A London taxi driver said the following about his job. During the night it is usual for him to stop two or
three times for some food. He said, "I never drink when I"m working, otherwise I"d lose my license (驾驶执照)."

longer and try to make more runs. He said,"That"s the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don"t
make money, no one is going to give it to you." London taxi drivers not only "take" but also "give". Every
summer hundreds of poor children from London go for a day at the sea ― by taxi! There rides are paid by
the taxi drivers. At the sea, they are met by the mayor (市长), and a lunch party is also held for the taxi drivers
and the children. After a happy day"s running around the beaches and visiting the market there, the children go
home again by taxi, free of charge of course! | | 1. London taxi drivers try to make more runs sometimes mainly because __________. | A. they make a living by driving
