With limited pocket money in hand,many Chinese college students are increasingly opting to live life “l(fā)ow cost”.One way to save money is team­buying.Online team­buying offers huge discounts and becomes popular on campus.
Li Jing,a student at China Youth University for Political Sciences,for example,says she often buys movie tickets on team­buying websites.But while they offer a good opportunity to save money,Li said she would “think twice before buying them from online stores”.Because many of them are “a bit chaotic (混亂的)”,and have fake goods mixed among them.Then why don’t the students just earn more pocket money by taking up part­time jobs?Guo Na,a teacher at the Communication University of China,said most college students were unlikely to choose work­study programs to earn pocket money because of their intensive study schedules.
A kind of card called “VELO” has become another ideal choice for many money savers.It provides all­round discounts while dining out or shopping in general.Cao Zuyang,a student at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China,often searches for sales online and buys things together with friends to cut down on costs.Cao once wanted to buy an electro­magnetic oven (電磁爐),which was on sale at a shopping website.He then asked five dormitory roommates to pitch in for the oven.Each student only paid 25 yuan.
Most students find it difficult to deal with the expense of accommodation while traveling.So they choose to travel to cities where they have friends and live in their dorms.For instance,Ge Rui,a student at the Hebei University of Technology,has been to many cities where he has friends.“Friends can act as free guides,offer me free accommodation,give me valuable tour information,and broaden my mind at the same time,” he said.He also had friends from other cities coming over and living with him when they visited his city.

Pilling a cat can be a 'terrible” experience. Cats don’t want something pushed down their throats, and they’ll fight with all their strength to prevent it. In fact, it’s amazing how powerful their small bodies can be.
The easiest way of pilling a cat is to press the pill into powder. Then mix the powder with a small amount of wet food. If your cat usually eats dry food, she will probably view the wet food as a treat and eat it up.
If your cat won’t eat the wet food that contains the pill or if she is too ill to eat, you can get a “pill gun”. There are some basic instructions. Getting your cat’s mouth to open is going to be the most difficult part. First, be sure the pill is in a handy place. Then you can put your cat on a bookshelf with her bottom in a corner or you can put her on your lap firmly tied. Have your cat facing to the right if you’re right-handed. With your left hand, hold your cat at the cheekbones, putting your palm (手掌) at the top of her head. Keeping your finger off the trigger (扳機(jī)), with your right hand, insert the pill gun until the pill is positioned over the tongue and open throat. Be sure to give your cat a treat directly after giving the pill.
If you don’t feel comfortable using a pill gun, you can try giving the pill by hand. Push your cat’s head backwards just far enough so that her nose is pointing towards the ceiling. At this point, most cats will slightly open their mouths. With the little finger or ring finger of the hand holding the pill, open the bottom jaw a little more. You may need to hold her top jaw with your other hand while doing this. Aim straight and lightly throw the pill or drop it. Most cats will then swallow the pill.
【小題1】Pilling a cat can be a terrible experience because cats ______.

A.a(chǎn)re amazingly powerful and dangerous
B.may fight with all their strength against pills
C.refuse something pressed down their throats
D.a(chǎn)re difficult to treat once they’ve got ill
【小題2】Which of the following statements is true according to the second paragraph?
A.Wet food with medicine is usually a treat to cats.
B.Cats used to dry food must reject wet food.
C.The easiest pilling is to press the pill into powder.
D.Cats are most likely interested in something new.
【小題3】Using a “pill gun”, you had better hold your cat ______ if you’re left-handed.
A.facing to the rightB.with your right handC.a(chǎn)t the headD.on your lap firmly
【小題4】A cat probably opens its mouth naturally when ______.
A.its nose is straight upwardsB.it is touched by fingers
C.its head is turning aroundD.it is served with its favorite pills

In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will trouble them.
At American restaurant and coffee shops you are usually served cold water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill(再裝滿).
Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.
Serving in restaurant is often large, too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everyone knows you’re taking the food for yourself. Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.
Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% of the price of a meal is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.

     Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血壓) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tall you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (緊張) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners –while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算術(shù)) or held a hand in ice water.

Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands. Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn't forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired (啟發(fā)) his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin's footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands. The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be. The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise(巨型海龜), which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Sanra Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago(群島). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself. Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air. Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.
【小題1】 What do we know about Darwin's visit to the islands?

A.He studied different creatures on the islands

Nowadays,much of the profit of a business—sometimes the whole of its success—depends upon the use of the odds and ends.The odds and ends are various small things,which are left over when the main things are produced.But they possess a real value of their own.
If a business,big or small,looked down upon these odds and ends,it would mean a big difference in the amount of the benefit of the business.Take a meat factory for instance,there are countless odds and ends—bones and hair,which can be made into glue and rope to increase its profit greatly.
Then,if we are college students,what about our odds and ends—the odd moments?Take time for example.Every one of us has the exact same amount of it.Everyone’s success or failure depends on the use of their time.But everyone uses the time more or less in the same way.However,why many great men in science or art have made huge successes for themselves in the world?Because they have made best use of their odd moments.Thomas A.Edison,never allowed his odd moments to slip by.He thought,planned,and tried his inventions.He always worked twenty hours out of each twenty­four.His inventions made him famous all over the world,and provided valuable wealth for the human beings.
So,remember this axiom:busy people always find time  for everything.However,people with great spare time find time for nothing.Is it very strange?Not at all!The question is how to gather up fragments of time and make full use of them.As many big businesses have found,the real profit is in using the odds and ends.We also must do in this way to make best use of our odd moments and manage to be successful in something we do.
【小題1】What are odds and ends?

A.They are nothing useful.
B.They are very small,but valuable things.
C.They are the main things factories produce.
D.They are odd moments students refuse to gather up.
【小題2】Why should the odds and ends be made full use of?
A.Because they often determine success or failure.
B.Because they can only be found by successful people.
C.Because they are various small things people don’t want.
D.Because they are useless things left over.
【小題3】The underlined word axiom in the last paragraph means________.
A.a(chǎn) statement given by famous people
B.a(chǎn) statement accepted as true
C.a(chǎn) statement that can be argued
D.a(chǎn) statement accepted in scientific field
【小題4】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.The profit of all companies depends on the odds and ends.
B.In some way,big meat companies can ignore some small things,such as bones.
C.College students only make full use of their spare time before exams.
D.Many successful men are good at using the odds and ends.

When I was 12,all I wanted was a signet(圖章) ring.They were the “in” thing and it seemed every girl except me had one.On my 13th birthday,my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it.I was in heaven.
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn’t being “replaced”.We’d been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the “new” stuff(東西) we got was really just to replace what we’d lost.But not my ring.My ring was new.
