阅读理解。     For a writer, there is hardly any greater honor than winning the Nobel Prize for literature.
     And for a woman writer, claiming the prize is even harder, for only eight women once won it. Austria"s
Elfriede Jelinek is the ninth and the first since 1996.
     The Stockholm-based Swedish Academy announced last Thursday that Jelinek won this year"s Nobel Prize
in literature. She is recognized for her socially critical (批判的) novels and plays.
     Jelinek, 57, made her literary debut (初次露面) in 1967. She has written plays, novels and poetry. She is
best known for her autobiographical 1983 novel"The Piano Teacher", made into a movie in 2001.
     The basic theme of her work is the inability of women to live as people beyond the roles and personalities
traditionally expected of them. Her characters struggle to lead lives not normally acceptable in society. "The
nature of Jelinek"s texts is often hard to define. They shift between prose (散文) and poetry and songs, they
contain theatrical scenes and film script," said the academy.
     The Nobel Prize was founded by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel. Nobel died in 1896 and left his fortune
of about US $920 million to a fund to honor people who have helped other human beings. This year each prize

阅读理解。     My students often tell me that they don"t have "enough time" to do all their schoolwork.
     My reply is often a brief "You have as much time as the president." I usually carry on a bit about there
being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that"not enough time" is not an acceptable
explanation of not getting something done.
     Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard.
His answer to me was, "That"s irrelevant (无关的). What"s important is the quality of your work." Since
then I have had time to think carefully about the "hard worker" dodge (诀窍), and I have come to some
conclusions-all relevant to the problem of how much time we have.
     If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter
of"time", which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of "work" during that time. But, as
my professor suggested, it"s not how hard one works but the quality of the product that"s important.
     That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I
once saw on the wall in someone"s office:"Don"t work harder. Work smarter." There is a lot of sense in
that idea.
     If you can"t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work.
That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should
lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since "work" for students usually means "homework", the
expression"work habits" should be read as "study habits".
     Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and
writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies. 1. From the passage, we know that the author is probably _____. A. a poet
B. an educator
C. a novelist
D. an engineer 2. We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that we students still _____. A. have enough time
B. can meet the president
C. get everything done well
D. should accept the explanation 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The author"s students make good use of their time to do all their homework.
B. The author tried to tell the professor that he/she (author) had done a good job.
C. You can"t improve the quality of the work if you can"t get more time.
D. You"ll try to improve your skills in reading and writing if you"re a clever student. 4. What"s the passage mainly about? A. Students don"t have enough time.
B. Don"t work harder; work smarter.
C. No one can get more time.
D. Read better and write better.

阅读理解。     Learning to save money when you"re young is an important lesson. All good lessons and habits begin
early, and saving is a skill that everyone needs. Many people-adults included-do not have a good sense of
saving for the long run.
     I have been lucky to learn this lesson early because I have had a grass-cutting business since I was 10
years old. Of the money I make, I spend about 10 percent and save the other 90.
     Making sure you save and don"t spend too much is a good way to build up wealth. I have put my
earnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn, so it never has a chance to grow.
Young people should realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.
     At high school, many parents pay for almost everything, so your expenses can be small. If you have a
job, you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow. Then
you can begin planning for your future. When you spend money, you not only lose that money, but also lose
the interest you should have earned by saving it.
     After high school, college is expensive and then "real" life begins, with expenses such as food and rent. If
you can hold onto a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen, going to college and buying a house
will be much easier. The earlier you begin saving, the more time the money has to grow. If you are in your
thirties without any savings, you will always have to struggle, The earlier you begin saving, the easier it is to
create a nest egg (储备金). 1. According to the author, a man can build up his wealth by _____. A. finding a good job
B. saving money when he grows up
C. buying a house
D. saving money and spending less 2. The author seems to believe _____. A. it is hard to save money when in high school
B. if you have a job, you needn"t save money
C. when spending one loses more than the money he pays
D. going to college will be easier if you borrow money from the bank3. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Saving for future
B. Learning to spend less
C. How to save money
D. How to make money

阅读理解。     Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There
are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.

areas that they live.
