tell you lessons their parents taught them.
The money values we learn as children stay with us the rest of our lives. If you are a parent, teaching
your children the value of saving and investing will benefit them the rest of their lives. Here"s what you can
do:
Help your child begin to save. Open savings accounts for your children, and teach them how the bank
adds interest to their savings that makes their money grow. Encourage your children to save a little from
every bit of money they receive, such as allowances, birthday gifts, etc. You may even want to set up a
matching program, contributing fifty cents for each dollar your child saves.
Teach your child about stocks(股票). A child in elementary school can start learning about how
businesses work. Once your child understands the basics, ask him or her to think about some of the
businesses that might be good stock investments. Then use Morningstar Mutual Fund Guide(available
at your library)to find a quality mutual fund that holds some of these companies, or a mutual fund that
caters to children such as the Stein Roe Young Investor Fund. Many funds accept regular monthly
investments as low as $50 a month, so these funds can be a good way to teach children about the stock
market while saving for their college education.
Encourage early IRA(个人退休金账户)saving. The new Roth IRA is a great way for children who
are working in summers or after school to begin saving for their future. Imagine how much money you"d
have today if you had saved $3,000 a year since you were a teenager!
Let your kids handle their own money. We all learn by doing, so letting your kids manage a segment
of their budget(预算)will let them earn valuable financial lessons.They may make mistakes, but they will
be small mistakes that may help them avoid larger mistakes as adults.
1. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Why to Teach Your Children to Save
B. How to Teach Your Children to Save
C. Tips for Saving for Children
D. Start Good Saving Habits Early
2. A matching program means ________.
A. that you should set a good example to your children
B. that you should provide enough money for children so that they can save some
C. that you encourage your children to compete with each other in saving
D. that you encourage your children by giving some extra money for them to save
3. According to the author, you should teach your children about investment when he/she is ________.
A. in the kindergarten
B. in primary school
C. in middle school
D. in college
4. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the Stein Roe Young Investor Fund?
A. It is usually with high benefits.
B. It accepts regular monthly investments.
C. It accepts small investments as low as $50 a month.
D. It caters to children who can afford small investments.
5. The advantage of letting your kids manage their budget lies in ________.

举一反三
noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the
countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural(乡下
的) areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two
large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area
begins to grow. There is usually a_residential_area nearby, too. The families of these workers need
schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a
city grows.
In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main
offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see
many huge skyscrapers(摩天大楼)and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way
to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the
city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks
for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not.
Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day
we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.

A. where people can buy things
B. which is suitable for living in
C. where people can do business

A. Because they can live more comfortably there.
B. Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life.
C. Because they mainly want to find work there.
D. Because they are sure of having a better life there.
3. Which of the following statement is NOT true about the business district?

A. and live there
B. but live in the suburbs of the city

reconnecting old friends.Last week,a guy whom I hadn"t seen since my bachelor party five years ago
sent me a friend request.I accepted and waited for "Easy E" to send me a greeting of some kind.He had
sought me out,after all.
I learned from his profile that he was in a relationship and had a son.However,I"m pretty sure we won"t ever write walltowall,let alone email each other.But he"ll remain a friend of online until one of us makes a
point of removing the other from his official list.
My pool of friends consists of family members,college buddies,coworkers from past and present,and
friends of friends.There are 35 in all.If I spent some time uploading old email addresses,I"m confident that
I could increase my friend count actually.
A person could make a mission out of reconnecting with childhood friends,former classmates,distant
cousins, and those one would like to get to know better.And some people can even handle hundreds of
onscreen relationships,keeping up with the daily happenings of their small army of companions.After all,
there are worse fates than having too many friends.
Thanks to email,the inability to schedule facetoface meetings no longer means a friendship must come
to a close.But even with email,people will lose touch if one or both parties stop writing back.That"s
normal.People move from school to school,job to job,city to city.You never have to feel guilty for
breaking away.

以下是交友者的信息.请匹配交友者与他们所对应的信息.
1. Mary, 21, a university student on history, comes from Scotland and would like to find a penfriend
who comes from East Europe. She is interested in the things of the past in those countries.
2. Helga, 33, comes from Germany and speaks French, English and Russian. She prefers a penfriend
who is also fond of exchanging ideas about language learning by writing letters and she firmly believes
that language learning can only happen in a classroom.
3. Alessandro, 25, comes from Rome. He is interested in finding a penfriend who speaks English and

4. Bob, 17, a middle school student in Liverpool, is interested in making a penfriend. He once visited

friend of the same or nearly the same age.
5. Jim, 35, has a company in Boston. His hobby is surfing the Internet in his spare time and looking
for any useful information for him, whether at home or abroad.
Cartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr altered (改变) popular culture dramatically.
And it wasn"t just the suits and changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore that had such an
impact, but what they seemed to stand for. The world saw them as the voice of a new generation, one
with a very different attitude to life.
Their influence was at its height in the 1960s, but their music continues to stir listeners today.
However, up until recently one aspect of the Beatles was struck in Yesterday: The music had never
been remastered (重新灌录). But on September 9 that situation came to an end, with the release of
the entire band"s music in a digital makeover. It is probably the biggest reissue (重新发行) in pop music
history, said British newspaper the Financial Times.
The albums were remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, the location where the band
produced much of their work. The cover of their last album, Abbey Road of 1969, featured the four
young men striding (大步行走) across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road itself. It is one of the most
famous of all Beatles images.
Recently, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album, hundreds of Beatles lovers gathered there
to show their appreciation.
Pop groups come and go. The boy band pursued by screaming fans one year will be forgotten the
next. But the Beatles are one of the few groups whose music seems to have endured (持久). Why?
Paul McCartney"s biographer Barry Miles has an explanation: "They were the first rock band… and
they just happened to be the best. They were the first band to play stadiums, to have their own products.
They were groundbreaking in every way," he says.
1. Why did the Beatles change popular culture?
A. Because of the suits of the four Liverpool boys.
B. Because of changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore.
C. Because of their albums.
D. Because of their different attitude to life.
2. Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the second paragraph?
A. The Beatles influenced people at its height in the 1960s.
B. Their music Yesterday had never been remastered.
C. The entire band"s music in a digital makeover will be remastered.
D. On September 9, their music came to an end.
3. What is their last album?
A. Yesterday.
B. Abbey Road of 1969.
C. Come Together.
D. In My life.
you can guess, my supper was different from other kids" too. But_at_least_I_wasn"t_alone_in_my_
sufferings. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. She insisted if we said we"d be gone an hour, then we be gone one hour or
less-not one hour and one minute. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you can see
how mean she was.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning.
We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath,
while the other kids always wore their clothes for days. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean
things to do to us.
Through the years, things didn"t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed, "sick" like our friends did, and
miss school. Our marks in school had to be up to par(达到正常水平). Our friends" report cards had
beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was,
would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks.
As the years rolled by, we were one by one put to shame. We were graduated from high school.
With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure
of being a dropout.
My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some
higher education. And whom do we have to blame for the terrible way we turned out? You"re right, our
mean mother. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults.
Now I am trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children call me mean.
Because, you see, I had the meanest mother in the world.

B. The author"s mother suffered her.

EXCEPT ________.

B. wear clean clothes
C. go to bed and get up at fixed time
D. drink as much Cokes as they want
3. Why was the author"s mother mean to her children?
A. Because she wanted her children to be top students in school.
B. Because she wanted her children to bring home colored report cards like her friends did.
C. Because she wanted her children to drop out.
D. Because she wanted her children to do their best at school and be educated and respected citizens.
