As we grow up, we gradually（漸漸地）develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it’s not easy to change later in life. Financial experts（財(cái)務(wù)專家）say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is the part of our value system and it has a great influence on the way we look after our money. According to our different values, experts put us in three categories（類別）. They are: the ant, the cricket（蟋蟀）and the snail（蝸牛）.

The ant—work first

Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they make so that they can enjoy life when they get old. The ant loves to save.

The cricket—fun first

The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance（保險(xiǎn)）.

The snail—living under pressure

The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans（借款）from the bank in order to buy things such as big houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure if they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.

【1】The meaning of the underlined words “value system” in this passage is .

A.belief of how to manage our financesB.the way we look after our money

C.something that will not change later in lifeD.a set of our own values or beliefs

【2】The ant refers to people who .

A.work very hard in summer in order to store food for winter

B.can make more money if they work harder

C.save money they make for their later life when they get old

D.only care about enjoying the moment by working very hard

【3】Why do the crickets borrow money?

A.Because they would like to enjoy everything now.B.Because they are young.

C.Because they think they have no future.D.Because they want to buy insurance.

【4】The writer’s purpose in writing the passage is to .

A.make fun of the three kinds of silly people

B.make us understand the differences and manage our money better

C.make us understand we should spend our own money

D.tell us that we are the same as animals

Starting in March, 2013, places like movie theaters, restaurants and sports centers, can’t sell sodas larger than 473 ml. Sellers who break the ban（禁令）will face a $200 fine. But you can still get whatever size you want at supermarkets.

Mayor Bloomberg says it will help people keep healthy. In New York, more than half of adults and nearly 40% of the children are overweight or obese（肥胖的）. Obesity kills thousands of New Yorkers every year and the city spends as much as $4 billion a year on medical care for overweight and obese people.

New York has a population of about 8 million. Of course it’s impossible for all New Yorkers to agree on the ban. There are different opinions（意見）. Keith Aiken believes the ban can help fight teen obesity. “Clearly, soda causes teen obesity. We have to do something,” he says. Chuck Kallenbach doesn’t think the ban can work. He says, “I can’t buy a large cup of soda, but I can buy two small cups.” Michael Tansini says, “Whatever size cup I want is my own business. No one should limit it!”

How did Craig get started? In the seventh grade he learned something that made him angry. A 6-year-old boy in Pakistan was sent to work in a factory. The boy could not go to school. He could not even play. He had no freedom (自由) at all.

Craig compared that with his own life. Laws in his country said that kids must go to school. Education was free to all kids. But in some countries school was not free. Children from poor families went to work instead of to school.

Craig wanted to help those who didn’t have the same advantages as he and his friends. As a result, Craig and some friends started Free The Children.

Craig and his friends decided that Free The Children should raise money to build schools. Craig hoped that learning would help kids in poverty (貧困) live better.

Today, Craig’s charity has more than one million members in 45 countries. It is still going strong. The money they have raised has done many good things. It has help more than 500 schools around the world. It also pays for health care in poor communities.

Craig has had a lot of success. However, he still remembers his unpleasant start seventh grade.

“We were laughed at by other kids, who said you couldn’t change things,” he says. Still Craig didn’t give up. Now he wants more kids to help. “Go to freethechildren.com. Bring it to your teachers,” he says. “As you gain more confidence, friends will join you. It just gets easier.”

【2】In which country did the writer mention that a six-year-old boy had to work in a factory?

Forest Smith is a member of Green First, an environmental group:

Our future on Earth looks terrible. We’re filling our country with waste. We can’t breathe the air and the sea is polluted too.

I visited some relatives recently in a small village. They grow their own food and cycle everywhere. They are not rich, but they are happy and healthy. We have too many possessions. Most of us have more things that we would ever need. It’s such a waste!

We must close down most of our factories that would reduce rubbish and the air pollution. We must recycle more, give up all cars and improve public transport. Another big problem is that we live in big cities that are crowded with people. It’s time for us to give up our big cities and factories and go back to a simple way of life.

John Green is a scientist at a university:

“Things are not as bad as Forest says. We all have a bright future. We don’t need to give up cars, but we do need to invent better, cleaner cars that do not pollute the environment. Traffic will still be bad, so we need better public transport. We should also recycle more. But some things are getting better. My sister returned last month after living abroad for five years. She said, “Our city looks different from before—it is cleaner and greener now.

Science has made life better in so many ways. A hundred years ago, most people died before the age of fifty because life was so hard. We can’t go back to a world like that.”
