5、Lots of students shop to reduce stress or just to kill time with their friends．Shopping to get rid of boredom or to escape from life’s pressures may lead to serious problems．When you start to shop out of control, you become a shopping addict．

       Shopping addicts show signs that are similar to other addicts．Some students think that shopping, even as little as buying gifts for classmates, can make them feel better and forget their problems．Actually, it can make them feel worse, guilty, or even cause them to run into financial difficulties．Finding yourself in a financial struggle or deep in debt may harm your relationships with friends and parents．

       Do you go shopping for just a few things and come home with your wallet empty? Do you always go shopping after an emotional trauma or when life feels tough（艱難的）? Do you regret later what you buy? Or do you buy things that you never use? Maybe your parents or friends have expressed disagreement that leads you to hide items or lie about prices．

       Avoid any environment that may make you want to spend money．Never use credit cards．Form some other meaningful and beneficial hobbies．Exercise, yoga and hot baths generally may help you not want to shop．Take a drive through the country where there aren’t any stores．Have patience with yourself and your money, which can benefit you for the rest of your life．

4、A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty –six days in a life-raft （救生艇） in the seas of Central America after their boat sank．

       For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water．They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water— two things which saved their lives．They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw （生的）．Then the line broke．“So we had no more fish until something very strange happened．Some sharks （鯊魚） came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface．I caught them with my hands．”

       About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them．After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up．Then suddenly it was all over．A fishing boat saw them and picked them up．They couldn’t stand up．So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica．Their two months at sea was over．

3、根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

       A man came home from work late, tired and found his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door．

       “Daddy, may I ask you a question?” “Yeah, sure, what is it?” replied the man． 1  “If you must know, I make $20 an hour．” “Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down．Then he looked up and said, “Daddy, may I borrow $10?” The father was angry, “If the only reason you asked for that is to borrow some money to buy a silly toy, then you should go to bed．”  2

       After about an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think．Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often． 3  “Are you asleep, son?” He opened the door and asked．“No, Daddy,” replied the boy．“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you just now．” said the man, “Here’s the $10 you asked for．”  4  “Oh, thank you, Daddy!” he yelled．Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some small change． 5  “Why do you want more money if you have already had some?” the father asked angrily．

       “Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do．” The little boy replied, “Daddy, I have $20 now．Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home earlier tomorrow, I would like to have dinner with you．”

A．Silently the little boy returned the money to his father with tears．

B．The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again．

C．“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”
