Are you a saver or a spender?
"A penny saved is a penny earned." This old saying calls attention to the wisdom of saving money. "_________________________" is another way to talk about saving for the future.
People who hate to spend money are known as "tightwads," while those who like to get the most value for their money are called "thrifty." A thrifty person is different from a "spendthrift." A spendthrift is someone who spends wastefully. People like that are often said to spend money "like a drunken sailor" or "like there"s no tomorrow."
In the United States, people who want to start a savings account have different choices of where to put their money. These include banks and credit unions. Credit unions are cooperatives for people who have some kind of connection. For example, the members might work for a university or a government agency. Most credit unions are nonprofit organizations.
Credit unions, banks and other financial institutions pay interest on savings accounts. But the interest rates are low. Certificates of deposit（存款证） pay higher returns. With a certificate of deposit, or CD, a person agrees not to withdraw the money for a certain period of time. This term could be anywhere from a few months to several years. Longer terms, and larger amounts, pay higher interest. People can withdraw their money early but they have to pay a fine.
In a number of countries, people have been saving less over the years. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development is a group of thirty-four countries. The OECD says in 1990, Americans had a household savings rate of seven percent. This year, that rate is expected to be a little more than four percent and many European countries have higher rates like the UK and France , but Americans save more than families in countries like Japan and South Korea.

小题2:If you have $10,000, which of the following may help you get higher interest ?| A．Choose certificates of deposit for one year. | | B．Put the money in banks for one year. | | C．Put the money in credit unions for one year. | | D．Choose certificates of deposit for one year but withdraw the money ahead of time. |
小题3:What does the passage mainly talk about ?| A．Different choices of putting money away in the US. | | B．The importance of saving money. | | C．How to put money into banks. | | D．The household savings rate in the US. |

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.
One big disadvantage is money---it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising---and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
小题1:What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?| A．Staying on the farm | B．Moving to the countryside | | C．Leaving home for the city | D．Running away from the school |
小题2:Which of the following is true about the writer?| A．He is very old now. | B．He is in good health. | | C．He prefers driving a car. | D．He lives in the city now. |
小题3:In the passage, the writer tries to _______.| A．express his opinions about way of life | | B．describe his life in the countryside | | C．show an interest in the outside world | | D．persuade the reader to live in the city |
小题4:How is the passage mainly developed?| A．By inferring | B．By comparing | | C．By listing examples | D．By giving explanations |

Speaking from my past experience, it is very difficult to find good friends that you can trust but once you have found them, they are worth keeping forever! Therefore, I think friendship is the most important relationship that anybody could have.
The qualities I look for in a friend are a good sense of humor but sensitivity when it matters. Also that friend would have to be strong-minded and highly spirited. I think that these qualities are the key qualities to look for in a good friend.
Even the strongest friends can still have arguments, although usually about more serious topics, rather than the usual teenage childish arguments. Some matters can seriously affect a friendship. If one of your friends started experimenting with harmful and dangerous drugs, what would you do ? A good friend would try to help as much as possible, whereas a bad example of a friend would simply shrug(耸肩) and turn a blind eye.
Not only the bad things affect friendship ---- good activities do too. Such as bonding with one another, not just by going out on a night with them but by spending quality time with them and talking to each other, which indicates a good ability to communicate. This is a key aspect of a good friendship.
Good friends do not always have to be in the same age group as you. I have a good friend and she is 47 years old and I am 16.
Unfortunately, some people lose contact with their friends as they grow older, which is a sad way to lose a good friend.
I think friendship is one of the most important things in life because if you have no friends you will have no happiness.
小题1:According to the author, true friendship _______.| A．is easy to get | B．deepens with time | | C．needs management | D．affects one’s happiness |
小题2:Paragraph 3 is mainly about______.| A．why drugs are bad for teenagers | | B．problems that will test friendship | | C．ways that help avoid arguments | | D．whether a friend is trustworthy |
小题3:According to the author, which matters least in friendship?| A．Age. | B．Sensitivity. | | C．Sense of humor. | D．Communication ability. |
小题4:Which of the following saying can match the author’s view on friendship?| A．Old friends and old wines are best. | | B．A friend without faults will never be found. | | C．A life without a friend is a life without the sun. | | D．a friend to everybody is a friend to nobody. |
