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.
小題1:What does the writer mainly tell us?
A．The ways of saving money on campus.
B．Online team­buying becomes popular.
C．How to recognize fake goods online.
D．How to choose a city to travel.
小題2:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Li Jing is a student from China Youth University for Electronic Sciences.
B．Most college students earn more pocket money by taking up part­time jobs.
C．It’s not a good idea to ask five roommates to buy one oven together.
D．You should think twice before buying something from online stores.

A．most students dislike traveling because of the expense
B．Guo Na is against students taking up part­time jobs
C．Cao Zuyang succeeds in saving money
D．students are charged for half price when traveling
小題4:The passage is probably taken from________.
A．a(chǎn) personal diaryB．a(chǎn) travel magazine
C．a(chǎn)n official paperD．a(chǎn)n advertisement

小題1:A
小題2:D
小題3:C
小題4:C

小題1:A
解析　主旨大意題。文章第一段第二句就開門見山地提出了本文的主題：省錢的方法。故A項很好地概括了全文大意。B、C、D三項內(nèi)容僅是文中的一個細節(jié)，概括性不強。
小題2:　D
解析　細節(jié)理解題。網(wǎng)上購物時我們不能看到實物，因此網(wǎng)購時應該謹慎。
小題3:　C
解析　細節(jié)理解題。由第三段內(nèi)容可知，Cao Zuyang通過與舍友合買電磁爐達到了他想省錢的目的。
小題4:　C
解析　推理判斷題。本文主要通過具體的事例介紹了省錢的方法，陳述的是事實，D項可排除；A項也與涉及多位人物的本文不符；B項與文中提及的團購等偏離太遠，因此只有C項正確。

Mothers and daughters go through so much—yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her mother，Sheila Solomon Klass，both gifted professional writers，prove to be ideal co­writers as they examine their decades of motherhood，daughterhood，and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped(重疊)．
Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s: both have full­time careers; both have published books，articles，and stories; each has three children; they both love to read.They also love to travel—in fact，they often take trips together.But in truth，the harder they look at their lives，the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.
A child of the Depression(大蕭條)，Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls.Starting with her college education，she has fought for everything she’s ever accomplished.Perri，on the other hand，grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s.For Sheila，wasting time or money is a crime，and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury，but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.
Each writing in her own unmistakable voice，Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains，the love and bitterness，the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together.Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork.Perri admits that she can’t sort out all the mess in the households，even though she knows it drives her mother crazy.Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working，admit long­hidden sorrows，and enjoy precious memories.
Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together，Perri and Sheila tell their mother­daughter story with honesty，humor，enthusiasm，and admiration for each other.A written account in two voices，Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet(二重奏) that produces a deep，strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.       (2013·湖北，B)
小題1:Why does Perri think that her own life has mirrored her mother’s?
A．They both have gone through difficult times.
B．They have strong emotional ties with each other.
C．They have the same joys and pains，and love and bitterness.
D．They both have experiences as daughter，mother and writer.
小題2:The word “l(fā)uxury” in Paragraph 3 means________.
A．something rare but not pleasant
B．something that cannot be imagined
C．something expensive but not necessary
D．something that can only be enjoyed by boys
小題3:What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The content of the book.
B．The purpose of the book.
C．The influence of the book.
D．The writing style of the book.
小題4:How are women’s lives explored in this book?

Several parents and children escaped the summer heat and enjoyed a refreshing “Leap Into a Good Book”．About 30 children and parents gathered as volunteers for both agencies.
After the readings，refreshments (點心) were offered and children and parents were given books，a gift bag and a bookmark with information on adult literacy (讀寫能力) programs.
Learn to Read of Northwest Florida Inc.and Even Start coordinated the event with hopes that combining their programs will help target functionally illiterate adults and their families.A functionally illiterate adult is one who has reading skills below a seventh­grade level.That often means they have difficulty filling out job applications，understanding a lease，reading medication labels or to their children.

Learn to Read of Northwest Florida Inc.provides one­on­one tutoring for basic reading and writing skills to adults 16 and older who are not in school.Tutors go through a 12­hour workshop and tutor their students 3 hours per week.The program currently has 150 active tutors.
Even Start is a family education program at McMillan Learning Center，which offers adult education classes and infant，toddler and prekindergarten services at no cost to families.Linda Harris，a teacher in charge of the Escambia Even Start program，says the program equips parents so they can help their children.

Should you stay at home to look after your child，or return to work?
Maybe you don’t have the option.Combining work and motherhood is an issue faced by increasing numbers of women every day.
New research for the Institute for Economic and Social Research could solve this quandary once and for all.In short，it concludes that going back to work after the birth of a child can have a negative impact on the child’s development—unless you have lots of money.
“Growing up in a family in which the mother chooses to work appears to have some adverse consequences for children’s welfare，” the research says.However，it adds that extra money brought in by both parents can reduce the negative effect.The negative effect is also less apparent in children of better­educated mothers.
The research by John Ermisch and Marco Francesconi is especially downbeat about welfare to work programmes，and especially，the prospects for the children of some single parents.
“It is hard to see anything but gloomy (陰暗的) prospects for the children of single parents (who are generally poor)，” the researchers said.This is because in a common family where both parents work，extra money brought in by the mother’s working would compensate for less time spent with the children.
In contrast，the researchers said the effects of paternal (父親的) employment were far more modest，but this did not mean that fathers had no role in shaping their children’s welfare.Money brought in by the father would be a major resource for helping children develop.
The research says，however，that before parents get too carried away by worrying about working，there are more important issues facing a child’s development.Parents’ personalities and emotional stability，parenting practices，and the friends and networks that children experience while growing up will be much bigger factors than whether their mothers work.
小題1:The extra money brought in by both parents________.
A．plays different roles in shaping a child’s welfare
B．can reduce the negative effect on a child
C．has negative effect on a child’s development
D．may damage the life of children
小題2:The researchers would agree that________.
A．mothers should keep a balance between work and family life
B．the more money mothers make，the worse their children will be
C．mothers should make as much money as they can
D．it would be better for mothers to be with children at home
小題3:We can conclude from the passage that________.
A．it doesn’t matter how much money a father brings home
B．education is the only factor in shaping a child’s welfare
C．money made by mothers can also contribute to a child’s well­being
D．mothers’ income can have a deeper effect on a child’s development
小題4:What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Whether mothers work is not worth considering.
B．The research shows family stability is important.
C．Parents should stop worrying about working.
D．More important factors are involved in a child’s development.

You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.
“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (禮儀) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “Elevators are socially very interesting but often very awkward (尷尬的) places.”
We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.
He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box.
If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (對角線地) across from each other to create distance.
When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle（三角形）. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.
New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act according to their decisions. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.
Why are we so awkward in lifts?
“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people, we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”
In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be understood as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact(接觸) ,” she said.
小題1:According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.
A．turn around and greet one another
B．look around or examine their phone
C．try to keep a distance from other people
D．make eye contact with those in the elevator
小題2:Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator? (The point in the chart refers to one person.)

小題3:The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _____.
A．ignoreB．judgeC．put up withD．make the best of
小題4:According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _____.
A．the lack of space
B．someone’s odd behaviors
C．their unfamiliarity with one another
D．their eye contact with one another

His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge. Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know next to nothing. Upon my quoting Thomas Carlyle, he inquired in the naivest way who he might be and what he had done. My surprise reached a climax, however, when I found incidentally that he was ignorant of the Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar system.
“You appear to be astonished, ” Holmes said, smiling at my expression. “Now that I do know it I shall do my best to forget it. You see, I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose: A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has difficulty in laying his hand upon it. It is a mistake to think that the little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it, there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you know before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.”
“But the Solar System! ” I protested.
“What the deuce is it to me?” he interrupted impatiently.
One morning, I picked up a magazine from the table and attempted to while away the time with it, while my companion munched silently at his toast. One of the articles had a pencil mark at the heading, and I naturally began to run my eye through it.
Its somewhat ambitious title was “The Book of Life, ” and it attempted to show how much an observant man might learn by an accurate and systematic examination of all that came in his way. It struck me as being a remarkable mixture of shrewdness and of absurdity. The reasoning was close and intense, but the deduction appeared to me to be far-fetched and exaggerated. The writer claimed by a momentary expression, a twitch of a muscle or a glance of an eye, to fathom a man’s inmost thought. Deceit, according to him, was impossibility in the case of one trained to observation and analysis. His conclusions were as infallible as so many propositions of Euclid. So startling would his results appear to the uninitiated that until they learned the processes by which he had arrived at them they might well consider him as a necromancer.
“From a drop of water, ”said the writer, “a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic. So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a single link of it. Like all other arts, the science of Deduction and Analysis is one which can be acquired by long and patient study, nor is life long enough to allow any mortal to attain the highest possible perfection in it. ”
This smartly written piece of theory I could not accept until a succession of evidences justified it.
小題1: What is the author’s attitude toward Holmes?
[A]Praising.
[B]Critical.
[C]Ironical.
[D]Distaste.
小題2: What way did the author take to stick out Holmes’ uniqueness?
[A]By deduction.
[B]By explanation.
[C]By contrast.
[D]By analysis.
小題3: What was the Holmes’ idea about knowledge-learning?
[A]Learning what every body learned.
[B]Learning what was useful to you.
[C]Learning whatever you came across.
[D]Learning what was different to you.
小題4: What did the article mentioned in the passage talk about?
[A]One may master the way of reasoning through observation.
[B]One may become rather critical through observation and analysis.
[C]One may become rather sharp through observation and analysis.
[D]One may become practical through observation and analysis.

Is veg food healthier than non-veg food? I feel this is a very common topic that people speak on．Please give me your opinions on this topic．
Rao
12-18-08
So far as veg food is concerned, it is also proved to be a healthy and nutritious diet, but has very few items which can provide us with proteins, but if you see non-veg food like eggs, chicken, and many more, such foods have a large content of proteins in them.
Sai
12-19-08
Man basically is herbivorous（食草的）. If we look at the animal kingdom
We can see that all the herbivorous animals have the similar dental（牙齒的）
structure, which clearly shows that the human being also ought to be vegetarian
by birth. It is only the living conditions that make man carnivorous（食肉的）.
The vegetarian foods are easily digestible.
Santos
12-20-08
Non-veg food items are better than veg items. A healthy person requires complete diet and veg+ meat makes the diet complete. The only caution that needs to be taken is not to have non-veg items on a daily basis. Once in a week or couple of weeks will be best.
Krishna
01-03-09
When we eat non-veg, we are all veg by nature. The chicken that we eat feeds on grains, the mutton that we eat feeds on grass, and the fish that we eat feeds on simple plants. So non-veg food by logic（邏輯）is better and suited for hauman beings.
Khan
01-05-09
Non-veg food is equally important in our diet as it helps in many ways, especially fish and other seafood as fish contains omega 3 which makes our immune system（免疫系統(tǒng)）stronger. Do you know that most of the veg food put together does not contain as much omega 3 as fish alone contains!
Khan
01-05-09
Non-veg food is equally important in our diet as it helps in many ways, especially fish and other seafood as fish contains omega 3 which makes our immune system（免疫系統(tǒng)）stronger. Do you know that most of the veg food put together does not contain as much omega 3 as fish alone contains!
小題1:According to Rao, what is the problem with veg food?
A．It damages our immune system.B．It has few nutrients.
C．It contains too much omegaD．It is lacking in protein.
小題2:In the opinion of Sai, humans are born vegetarian because humans______.
A．have the same teeth structure as plant-eating animals
B．believe that veg foods are good for their teeth
C．belong to the plant-eating animal family
D．can adapt to the living conditions like plant-eating animals
小題3:What advice is given by Santos?
A．To have a saily veg+ meat diet.
B． Not to eat non-veg food every day.
C．To eat digestible food every day.
D．Not to eat food without protein.
