Have you ever thought about your life after you grow up? It is not easy --- that’s what some US students say after they try out adult (成年人) life at school.

Mount Logan Middle School, Utah, has an activity called Reality Town. Each student gets a “job” and some money. The higher the grade (成績), the better the job they can get. Then, they have to pay for different things in the real world, such as transportation (交通) and groceries . Some of them have a “husband (丈夫)” or a “wife” and maybe a few “kids”. Student Jason Peisley, 13, became a father with a 5-year-old girl. The hardest part for him was paying taxes (稅).“I make $90,000 (571,000 yuan), but after I pay my taxes, I only have $66,000 left,” he said. “Life isn’t easy. There are a lot of things to pay for.” “It’s a wake up call for these students,” said Greg Aullman, a teacher at Mount Logan, “to learn how much it costs to live. So, they’ll study harder than before and love their parents more. ”

科目：初中英語 來源：2016屆江蘇無錫市錫山區(qū)東亭片九年級上學(xué)期期中英語試卷（解析版） 題型：完形填空

完形填空 先通讀下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后從下面四個答案中選擇可以填入相應(yīng)空白處的最佳答案。

My mother used to say things just to make me . Like most teenagers, I thought I knew . And what I didn’t know, I didn’t want to . For example, if I said I was going to a movie, my mother would roll（轉(zhuǎn)動）her eyes. On my way out, she’d shout: “You need to slow yourself down before something happens! You don’t want to learn that the hard way!” I didn’t know what that . I thought she just wanted me to stay home.

Many years later I had three teenagers my own. They thought they knew everything. I would say the same things to them my mom. That’s when I first saw it. My mother wasn’t trying to make me stay at home. She was trying to help me.

Why do we always have to learn things “the hard way”? Why can’t we just accept our wisdom? It’s a good lesson for anyone. Obviously(顯然)，I still haven’t learned it. Yesterday, I stepped out of the shower when I heard my cell phone in the kitchen. Grabbing(抓) a towel, I ran the house. I grabbed the phone and hit my left foot against the table. The X-ray showed that I’d broken two toes.

We all need to slow ourselves down once in a while, before something bad does it for us. My mother was right about a lot of things. I wish I could have told her.

1.A. mad B. happy C. worried D. warm

2.A. nothing B. everything C. something D. anything

3.A. tell B. be told C. ask D. be asked

4.A. bad B. good C. well D. badly

5.A. mean B. means C. meant D. meaning

6.A. at B. in C. on D. of

7.A. like B. likes C. liked D. liking

8.A. elder B. elders C. elders’ D. elderly

9.A. ring B. rings C. rang D. ringing

10.A. over B. on C. through D. across
