Once a wise man and his student traveled to a remote, mountainous place. They were well _______ at a cottage by a family of five. The wise man asked: “How do you _______ in such a poor place?”

“That’s what keeps us going,” said the host, _______ to a thin, tired cow. “She gives us milk, some of which we drink and some we make into _______. When there is extra, we _______ the milk and cheese for other types of food.”

The wise man thanked them and left. When he reached the first _______ in the road, he said to his student: “Get the cow, take it to the _______, and push it off.”_______ and angry though the student was, he obeyed.

As years passed by, the _______ became too much to bear and the student returned to that cottage to find out what he could do. Upon rounding the bend, he could not believe his eyes. In place of the __________ there was a beautiful house with trees all around, several cars in the __________, a satellite dish, and on and on. He __________ the man from several years before, strong and confident. He went __________ to the man and asked: “What happened?”

The man __________ with a smile: “Our cow fell off the cliff and died. To survive, we had to __________ new ways of doing things and __________ new skills. And so, we are now much __________.”

Sometimes our __________ on something small and limited is the biggest obstacle(障礙) to our growth.

My dream is to become a school teacher in the future. In fact, I had the dream of becoming a teacher since my childhood. In my opinion, without teachers, no society could make progresses. There is no doubt whether teachers play an important role in children growth. Not only do teachers pass on knowledge for children, but they also teach children how to behave themselves. Comparing with other jobs, teaching is hard and the pay is lower. And to me, what great fun it is to be with children! They make me to feel young forever because I’ll study harder and try my best to realize my dream.

Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to get rid of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus (校園) of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem — how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus’s six buildings comfortable.

Some parts of most modern buildings — theaters and offices as well as classrooms, are more sufficiently heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned (使用空調(diào)的) even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing (再分配) it is called “heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University’s system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others.

Along the way, Pittsburgh has learned a great deal about some of its producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students send out more heat than female students, and the larger a student is, the more heat he produces. We may conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard working overweight male genius.

1.What is the characteristic of the buildings on Johnstown campus of the University of

Pittsburgh?

A. They collect body heat to control the temperature inside.

B. They are more comfortable to live in than other buildings.

C. They use the light bulbs to heat the classroom.

D. They consume less fuel to keep the classrooms cool.

2.According to the passage, the technique of heat recovery is used ______.

A. to find the producers of heat

B. to provide heat for the hot water system

C. to make the campus more beautiful

D. to collect heat and reuse it

3.The underlined phrase “the hottest prospect” in this passage refers to ______.

A. the person who suffers most from heat

B. the person who needs more heat than others

C. the person who gives off most heat

D. the person who makes better use of heat

4.Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?

A. Recovery of Body Heat

B. Modern Building’s Heat System

C. Body Heat and Its Producers

D. Ways of Heating Building

Saving money when you’re young is an important lesson. All good lessons and habits begin early, and saving is a skill that everyone needs. Many people — adults included — do not have a good sense of saving for the long run.

Besides being a great way to ensure you have enough money for your old age, saving money when you are young can help your future.

Making sure you don’t spend too much and continuing to save is a good way to accumulate wealth. I have put my earnings in a bank, and with investments(投資) and regular interest rates, have almost doubled my savings. Your money will double after twelve years at a modest rate of six percent interest. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow.

Teens should realize that now is a prime time to begin saving. In high school many parents pay for almost everything, so expenses can be small. If you have a job, you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow for you without your working, and begin planning for your future.

After high school, college is expensive and then “real” life begins, with expenses such as food and rent.

If you can hold onto a good part of the money you earn as a teen, going to college and buying a house will be much easier. The earlier you begin saving, the more time the money has to grow.

Saving early means you will have to work fewer years when you are older and allow you to spend time doing things you want. You also want to be financially secure so you can live the way you want without worrying. Also, you will be able to retire at a reasonable age.

1.Which of the following is an advantage of saving money when young?

A. It teachers important life lessons. B. It helps develop good habits.

C. It results in a sense of responsibility. D. It contributes to one’s future.

2.The author advises teens ________.

A. to put all their earnings in a bank for interest

B. not to spend the money until twelve years later

C. to pay for their schooling by themselves

D. not to spend all their earnings having fun

3.According to the author, what will “real” life bring about?

A. Lower interest rate. B. Higher living cost.

C. Difficulty in finding jobs. D. Less time to save money.

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A. The Earlier, The Better B. Money Is Everything

C. The Importance of Saving D. To Save for Your Old Age
