My daughter Chloe is starting out in college in the fall. With her newfound independence will come the newfound responsibilities of dealing with money.
【小題1】  Now I have a few lessons I’d like to share with Chloe, and with anyone else starting out in college.
 【小題2】  OK, this is almost the only lesson you need. The biggest reason you get into money problems is that you spend money you don’t really have. Then you end up in the hole, and it’s hard to get out of the hole. You work too many hours to keep up with your spending. And you end up with a life that’s about nothing but trying to pay for all the spending on something you don’t really need.【小題3】 
Make a very simple budget (預(yù)算). It’s a terrible thing for people who’ve never done a budget, but it’s not hard.   【小題4】  If the bills add up to more than the income, remove some bills.
Pay bills right away. If you have the money, pay the bill as soon as it comes in. You can usually do this online, but if not, it’s just a matter of writing a check, putting it in an envelope, and writing out an address — two minutes.  【小題5】  If you let the bill paying get pushed back, it becomes a terrible thing.
That’s all you need to know. If you save when you’re in college, avoid debt, and pay bills on time, you’re golden.

A.Spend less than you earn.
B.List your income, then list your bills.
C.So spend less, work less, worry less, be happier.
D.Find ways to get things done you need to get done.
E. If you spend less than you earn, you won’t be in debt.
F. Like many young people, she hates thinking about money.
G. Do this two-minute action at once, so you don’t have to worry about it later.


【小題1】F
【小題2】A
【小題3】C
【小題4】B
【小題5】G

解析試題分析:文章大意:本文是一位母親給即將上大學(xué)的孩子關(guān)于如何管理錢(qián)的幾點(diǎn)建議,文中提到了花錢(qián)不要超出支付能力,要學(xué)會(huì)制定預(yù)算而且要做到有錢(qián)立即付賬,不拖延。
【小題1】考查上下文的理解及推理判斷能力?涨癢ith her newfound independence will come the newfound responsibilities of dealing with money.提到和新的獨(dú)立一起到來(lái)的是處理錢(qián)的責(zé)任,所以下文71空就是關(guān)于錢(qián)的問(wèn)題,所以答案為F選項(xiàng)。像很多年輕人一樣,她討厭考慮錢(qián)的問(wèn)題。
【小題2】考查總結(jié)歸納主題句的能力。從文章第二段you spend money you don’t really have. Then you end up in the hole, 和you end up with a life that’s about nothing but trying to pay for all the spending on something you don’t really need都是指花的錢(qián)超出了支付能力,結(jié)果就是努力去償付那些沒(méi)必要花的錢(qián)。所以A選項(xiàng)正確,意思是花的錢(qián)不要超出你所掙的錢(qián)
【小題3】考查對(duì)語(yǔ)境的理解及推理判斷能力。第二段整段都是說(shuō)花錢(qián)不要超出自己的支付能力,否則就會(huì)過(guò)上為了還錢(qián)而努力掙錢(qián)的生活,而且從空前You work too many hours to keep up with your spending.判斷下面應(yīng)該是進(jìn)一步強(qiáng)調(diào)少花錢(qián)的重要性,故C選項(xiàng)正確,意思是少花錢(qián),少工作,少擔(dān)心,更快樂(lè)。
【小題4】考查上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。這段的建議是制定預(yù)算,而且從空后句中If the bills add up to more than the income, remove some bills.出現(xiàn)的提示詞 bill 和 income判斷B選項(xiàng)正確,意思是首先列出你的收入,然后列出你的賬單。
【小題5】考查上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。前面是說(shuō)有了錢(qián)馬上付賬,付賬僅僅是需要兩分鐘的事情,所以從空前的 two minutes 判斷G為正確選項(xiàng),立即做這個(gè)兩分鐘的活動(dòng),這樣過(guò)后你就不會(huì)擔(dān)心它了。
考點(diǎn):考查信息匹配

Raising Confident Kids
Self-esteem(自尊) is a collection of beliefs or feelings we have about ourselves. Having a healthy self-esteem can protect us through difficult times and help us remain focused on what is important to us. Research shows that children with high self-esteem grow up to be more confident adults. Self-esteem building should start from young.   【小題1】 
Praise actions
Young children need feedback. It’s how they measure their actions and it plays a role in learning from experience. Provide specific praise about actual actions performed and efforts made in the process.   【小題2】 .
Identify strengths
Preschoolers are always watching each other. On the bright side, they learn new things from each other. On the other side, they can become self-critical when they see a peer accomplishing something they still struggle to do. 【小題3】  Tell your children to focus on their strengths when they start to draw comparisons.
Foster(培養(yǎng)) a sense of belonging
Young children may not understand how peer pressure (同齡人的壓力) works, but they feel it when they’re being excluded(排除). Show your children that they are important by listening to and responding to their needs and ideas. As much as possible, save grown-up conversations for later so that you can have family conversations.   【小題4】 
 【小題5】 
As much as they need us, they also need to work on taking small steps towards independence. When they know they can do things, they feel more confident. Teach problem-solving skills. Step aside and let them work on challenges before jumping in to help. Help by asking, “ How can we do this in a different way? Let’s come up with some ideas together.” Getting kids involved in problem-solving teaches them how to deal with challenges in the future.
Building and maintaining healthy self-esteem can be a lifelong process, but the sooner you start, the more confident your children will become.

A.Encourage Independence
B.Spend quality time with children
C.Try to address their concerns as they arise, no matter how minor.
D.If praise is only attached to success, kids will focus on “ winning”.
E. Be sure to point out your children’s strengths regularly and be specific.
F. Below are some tips to help you promote your children’s self-esteem.
G. Each parent has the responsibility to help children to become confident.

第二節(jié):下面文章中有5個(gè)段落需要添加首句。請(qǐng)從以下選項(xiàng)(A. B. C. D. E和 F)中選出適合各段落的首句。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)是多余選項(xiàng)。
A. People will accept defeat easily.
B. Good sportsmanship (運(yùn)動(dòng)員精神) brings success.
C. Good sportsmanship brings happiness.
D. People can learn how to manage upsets.
E. Good sportsmanship reminds you of rules.

Should Good Sportsmanship Be Taught in School?
Almost everyone feels that it is important for young people to win fairly and show respect for others. Should good sportsmanship, then, be taught in school? The stronger argument, however, favors teaching good sportsmanship. Presented here are the most important benefits of teaching sportsmanship.
【小題1】________ Having a positive attitude in activities like sports, class elections, and science fair competitions are important to success in school. Activities involving winning or losing can be tense. Acting calmly under pressure helps young adults succeed not only in sports but also in life. Good sportsmanship is not a given; it must be promoted in school. Young people must be directed to role models who practice sportsmanship.
【小題2】________ A person cannot play by the rules if he or she does not understand what the rules are. Many arguments on the playing field could be avoided if athletes understood their responsibilities. This also applies to other activities. If students enter a science fair competition, for example, they must follow the instructions. Additionally, knowledge provides a competitive advantage. Those who understand the rules are much more likely to succeed. In school, for example, success is definitely stressed. When students learn sportsmanship, they discover how the rules related to achievement.
【小題3】_______ Using good sportsmanship helps people stay focused and in control. Almost everyone has overheard a heated argument between a player and a referee(裁判). Good players do not argue with other players, coaches, or officials. They deal with upsets calmly; consequently, they stay in control of their game. Good players focus on achieving. Uncontrolled anger can actually cause a person to make errors. This result is especially embarrassing. Additionally, people can be labeled if they act out their upsets. A good sport is known for his or her positive conduct. Teaching students the consequences of their actions is part of sportsmanship.
【小題4】_______ Good players become skilled at handling responsibility. When people accept responsibility, they achieve their best. Positive thinkers, moreover, influence others, especially those who are struggling with a problem. A gifted basketball player, for example, might teach skills to a less talented player. Helping others raises the performance of the entire team. The team, consequently, could reach new heights and set new records. Good sportsmanship, however, means “owning up” to mistakes as well. Those who do not practice sportsmanship pass off responsibility. For them, if an opportunity is lost, it is someone else’s fault. Imagine a team of players all acting in their own self-interest--- the opposite of what a team really should be. Students who participate in a team, whether a math small-group project or the school band, benefit by learning to accept responsibility and encourage others.
【小題5】_______ Sportsmanship allows people to enjoy victory to the fullest. If people win, but their accomplishments are based on cheating or other immoral behavior, are they really winners? Good players follow the rules. They feel proud even in defeat because their game is based on honesty and respect. Winners congratulate their opponents(對(duì)手) as part of recognizing the efforts of others. This friendly behavior spreads goodwill from their team to other teams. Players who show respect for fans, coaches, and other players receive respect in return. They are recognized as leaders. In learning sportsmanship, students explore role models of positive behavior. They learn what it takes to be a leader; they also learn to win and lose with grace(風(fēng)度).

3. Learn something new
Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind.

A.Focus on the future.
B.This can be especially harmful to the aged.
C.It should be something like learning gardening.
D.So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.

Amazon Introduces a Digital Music Locker
Amazon.com, plans to introduce a service that will let people upload their digital music to the Web from anywhere.  【小題1】   
The service, known as a music locker, was made available to Amazon account holders early Tuesday.Amazon will offer a Web-based hard drive backup service called Cloud Drive, where people can store documents, photos, videos and music.
It will also offer Cloud Player, which will let people listen to, download and make play lists from the music they store on Cloud Drive from any Web site or from an app on Android devices.Cloud Player will automatically upload songs bought on Amazon.  【小題2】   
   【小題3】  One key difference is that Google and Apple reportedly want to automatically make all the music that a user owns available to stream on other instruments, while Amazon will require that people upload music, except songs they buy on Amazon, to access it elsewhere.
The dream of these companies, along with many start-ups, is for people to be able to listen to their music from any computer or phone.  【小題4】  Several experts in digital music say that the music locker business is still legally ambiguous.  【小題5】   
Amazon says it has avoided the problem, because its users would upload their songs, in MP3 to the cloud-based service, just like backing them up on an external (outside) hard drive or a Web-based computer backup service.
Companies, including Google and Spotify have been forced to delay introducing certain services while they negotiate with the music labels and publishers.

A.People can access it from any computer and from Android phones.
B.But they have all run into the same problem: music companies and publishers would prefer that listeners buy a new copy of a song everywhere they want to listen to it.
C.Experts suspect that Amazon seems to be copying what Google and Apple have already achieved.
D.They agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity (匿名) because their agreements with Amazon are confidential.
E.It is impossible for Web companies to tell whether a song was bought legally or downloaded illegally.
F.Amazon is racing Google and Apple, both of which are interested in offering similar services.
G.It will also scan iTunes or Windows libraries to find other music to upload.
