7、Sometimes，I doubted that there was any love between my parents．Every day they were 1 earning money．They didn’t 2 in the romantic 3 that I read in books．For them，“I love you”was too luxurious(奢侈)．When he was 4 working，my father had a bad temper．

    One day, my mother was 5 a quilt．I sat beside her and looked at her．“Mom，I have a question to ask you，”I said．

6、Dear SJ，

    Losing a best friend is never easy．

    Your problem，SJ，is not just that you miss your best friend，it is that you feel empty and lost without her friendship．

    It takes time to get over a loss，and during that time，your mind is getting used to a new way of being．This is usually a good thing，even if it feels like a bad thing．

    Now that you are on your own，you are being forced to learn to be by yourself and to rely upon your own inner voice for guidance．I am sure that this feels strange for you，but if you can hang on for a bit，it may work to your advantage．

    Best friends are cool，but it is important to know the difference between missing someone and being too dependent upon them．

    At your age，girls do tend to stick together and having a boy friend may not yet be the better choice．Your friend is a little ahead of herself in leaving you，her best friend，for a boyfriend．Boyfriends are completely different from best friends；the distinction being that boyfriends come and go，while girl friends often stay in your life throughout high school，and even afterwards．It is a completely different sort of bond．

    I suggest that you take advantage of this period in your life to expand your horizons．Enjoy the freedom of having no best friend for a while，and hang with the group．By the time your former best friend breaks up with her boyfriend，you will be in a completely different place，a far better place；in your head that is．

    And，by the way，next time that you feel empty and lost，try to write about it in a diary or just simply on paper．In several months，you will look back and read it with curiosity about yourself．“       Who was I then．a(chǎn)nd what could I have been thinking?”

1．Judging from the letter, SJ’s problem was that she didn’t know_________．

    A．whether to give up her best friend   B．what to do without her best friend

    C．who to choose between two friends      D．how to stop missing her former friend

2．By“a new way of being”．the writer referred to the situation in which SJ had to_________．

    A．find a new friendship    B．live without a best friend

    C．learn to give up         D．be independent

3．When the writer said“your friend is a little ahead of herself’, she meant SJ’s friend_____________．

   A．was acting without thinking

B．was doing something she might regret later

C．was too young to fall in love

D．was unwise to leave SJ so soon

4．The writer believed SJ would _______by the time her former friend lost her boyfriend．

   A．grow physically stronger                    B．do better at school

   C．feel more independent and confident          D．win her best friend back

5．The last paragraph seems to suggest that_______________．

A．keeping a diary helps correct oneself 

B．SJ will get over her problem soon

   C．unhappy experiences are easy to forget

D．one shouldn’t forget the past experiences

5、Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance．The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly．

    The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family．Timing is another consideration．Some children get a weekly allowance．Others get a monthly allowance．

    In any case，parents should make clear what，if anything，the child is expected to pay for with the money．

    At first，young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it．If they do this，they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget．Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance．

    The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending saving．Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs，like clothing or electronics．

    Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home．These jobs are a normal part of family life．

    Paying children to do extra work around the house，however, can be useful．It can even provide an understanding of how a business works．

    Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money．They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to a good cause．They can spend it by buying things they want．Or they can save it．

1．What is special about children learning financial management by experience?

A．They learn more quickly．   

B．They are not as likely to make mistakes． 

C．Their mistakes won’t matter so much．

D．They have plans made by their parents．

2．When the writer says some young children“will learn the hard way that…”，he means____________. 

A．they will know a budget is hard to carry out 

B．they will have a hard time learning the lesson 

C．what they will learn is absolutely true 

D．their parents will teach them a hard lesson

3．Judging from the article．it is all right if a couple gives their son an allowance________. 

A．regularly twice every month 

B．whenever he has run out of money 

C．telling him to ask for permission before spending 

D．without telling him what to spend on

4．The writer would agree to encourage the kids to ____________to deal with a tight budget．  

A．borrow money from others    B．a(chǎn)sk their parents for more money  

C．get paid for their household routines D．earn money by extra work

5．When a kid donates some of his allowance to wild animal protection，he is_____．

A．sharing it with others         B．giving it to a good cause

C．buying things for himself      D．saving for his future spending

4、In people’s minds．Beijing women are taller, bold，and uninhibited，while Shanghai women are smaller in figure．a(chǎn)nd always speak in a soft voice．The image(形象)of Beijing women is usually bigger than Shanghai women’s． However, it turns out to be just the other way round after I have worked in Beijing for some time．   

    Everybody goes Dutch in Shanghai；even at a grand party，but in Beijing it's usually the men’s treat．It is impossible to invite a female friend who already has a boyfriend or a young married woman out, even if you promise to see her home that night．

    The conditions of the men in Beijing are no better at a11．All their cells will ring one after another at 12 o’clock sharp at night．The voice on the other end is usually loud enough for anyone nearby to hear．“Where have you been! Do you remember that you’ve got a home? Now who’s with you?”and these three sentences are usually the main parts of the call．

    Shanghai women could never understand this．If it’s a Shanghai woman who shouts in the phone，the Shanghai man on the other end must think that she is crazy(or drunk，perhaps)．The Shanghainese go Dutch in life，and they appreciate the independence in both economic and love affairs．

    Many of my friend girls in Shanghai are office ladies with very high income．The tiredness of life cannot kill their pride in saying：“I don’t depend on any men．”Thus no men can command them，for example，to force them to come back home before 10 pm．Beijingers do not admire the Shanghai way of life，anyhow．How can a couple be addressed as“a couple”when they don’t know where the other has been last night? They wondered．

1．The underlined word“uninhibited ”in Paragraph One probably means_____．

  A．relaxed enough to do as they like    B．very cautious about their behavior

  C．a(chǎn)lways doing what they are told to  D．not having courage or confidence

2．By mentioning men paying bills for women in Beijing，the writer wants to show that___________.

  A．Beijing women are respected    B．Beijing women lack independence

  C．Beijing men are generous       D．Beijing men possess gentle manners

3．The conditions of Beijing men are no better because they____________.

  A．often stay out late at night        B．have women call them at midnight

  C．a(chǎn)re treated the same as Shanghai men D．enjoy no more freedom than the women

4．Shanghai women could never understand why_____________．

  A．Beijing women behave like that     B．Beijing men behave like that

  C．Shanghai men think so differently D．Shanghai women don’t copy Beijing women

5．In a Beijinger’s mind．it’s normal for a couple to___________．

    A．go Dutch in life                B．know each other’s whereabouts

    C．return home before 10 pm        D．suspect each other’s behavior

6．The title of the article may be______________．

    A．Lifestyle difference between Shanghai and Beijing

    B．Physically strong may mean spiritually weak

    C．Big Shanghai women and little Beijing women

D．Can a couple go Dutch in life?

3、For that idea kicking around Clancy’S head since 1988，the U．S．Patent Office this month(June 2006)awarded the 52-year-old Mansfield，Ohio, man a patent．Its number：7037243．What makes this invention work is the moving weights inside the handles．They let you have the feel of a rope moving，Clancy said．

    But why jump rope without a rope?

    It’s perfect for the clumsy, Clancy said．”If you are still jumping，you’re still using your legs，as well as your alms．a(chǎn)nd giving exercise to the cardiovascular(心血管)．You just don’t have to worry about tripping on the rope．”

    It is also good for mental institutions and prisons where people might use rope to kill themselves，said Clancy，who serves as a laundry worker in a state prison．And low ceiling fans aren’t dangerous any more，he said．

    The idea isn’t all that crazy．said Mike Ernst，a professor of kinesiology(運(yùn)動機(jī)能學(xué))at California State University in Dominguez Hills．

    The more he thought about it，the more Ernst said he could see the benefit，adding that，“   Do you need to jump with a rope? You don’t，”Ernst said．” But I wouldn’t buy the product，I can tell you that．I'm not a fool．”

    High-tech handles aren’t needed．You could even use toilet paper holders，Ernst said．On second thought，he wondered if he could patent that idea．

1．What’s the name of the patent owner?

   A．Clancy．   B．Mansfield．   C．Ohio．    D．Mike Ernst

2．The moving weights inside the handles are used to__________________．

    A．free the jumper’s hands      B．a(chǎn)dd weight to the rope

    C．help throw the rope around    D．work as a rope

3．Ernst thought“The idea isn’t ail that crazy”because it aimed to_______．

    A．make the jumping safer                     B．prevent self-killing

    C．1et others share the inventor’s experience    D． have people do more exercise

4．The last paragraph mainly tell us that Ernst__________________．

    A．considered the patent and his new idea equally silly

    B．might apply for a patent for his new idea

    C．preferred toilet paper holders to high-tech handles

    D．was a person full of new ideas
