试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是Betty会想各种方法来省钱，Betty和George想买车，他们应该是需要花钱，Betty没有工作，要用其他方法来节约钱。
小题1:考查名词及语境的理解。句意：Betty没有工作，所以她总是找各种各样的办法来节约钱。work 工作，是一个不可数名词。这里的空前有不定冠词a，故这个选项不对；job 工作，是可数名词；child 孩子；house房子。根据文意可知，Betty和George想买车，他们应该是需要花钱，所以这里应该是说Betty没有工作，要用其他方法来节约钱。孩子和房子都跟这件事情没有关系。故选B。
小题2:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：她给George做三明治，让他带着去上班，这样他就不用买午饭了。make 制作；eat 吃；have 吃，喝；buy 买。根据上句话我们可以知道，Betty亲自制作三明治给George，让他带着去上班，这样午饭George就可以吃三明治，就不用再买午饭吃了，这样就可以节约钱。故应选D。
小题3:考查连词及语境的理解。句意：路程并不长，但是公共汽车很慢。or 或者，表示选择；and 和，表示连接；but 但是，表示转折；so因此，表示因果。根据句意可知，这里是转折的关系，从公司回家的路并不长，但是公共汽车很慢，所以George每天很晚回家。
小题4:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：有一天，交通比平常更糟糕了。选项中是四个比较级的形式，larger 更大的；bigger 更大的；worse 更糟糕的，是bad 的比较级；better更好的，是good 的比较级。根据上文可知，George每天坐公共汽车回家要花很长时间，因为公共汽车很慢。这一次，公共汽车比平时更慢了。故选C，更糟糕了。
小题5:考查连词及语境的理解。句意：第二天下班后，他决定试一试。after在…之后；before 在…之前；since 自从…；until直到…才。承接上文的意思，George觉得坐公共汽车回家很慢，他跑步都能比它更快。所以，这次下班后，他决定试一试，看是否能比公共汽车还快。故选A。
小题6:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：他跑到了公共汽车站，但是没有上车。get off 下车；get on 上车；come up with 追上，赶上；stop 停止。根据文意可知，George想试一试，看是否跑得比公共汽车还要快。所以他来到公共汽车站，但是不上车。故选B。
小题7:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：他在公共汽车旁边的人行道上跑。他必须跑得很快才能赶上公共汽车。most 大多数，大部分；much 很多，修饰不可数名词；more 更多的，是一个比较级；quite相当，很，是一个副词，修饰形容词。根据句意可知选D。
小题8:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：他回到了家。Betty非常吃惊的看到他气喘吁吁。excited 兴奋的，激动的；surprised 吃惊的，惊奇的；interested 有趣的；bored无聊的。根据文章的意思可知，George平时都是坐公共汽车回家的，但这一次他是跑回来的，Betty并不知道，所以Betty很吃惊看到他气喘吁吁的回来了。故选B。
小题9:考查介词及语境的理解。句意：没有付车费，我省了两美元五十美分。for 因为，为了；no 没有，是一个形容词，修饰名词；without 介词，没有；instead副词，代替。根据文意可知，George没有坐公共汽车，所以就不用买车票，故而省下了2美元50美分。故选C。
小题10:考查疑问词及语境的理解。句意：你为什么不在出租车旁边跑，这样你就能省下6美元了。Betty说。when 什么时候；what 什么；why 为什么；where在哪里。文章的开头已经告诉了我们Betty会想各种方法来省钱，所以这里Betty觉得，如果George跟在出租车旁边跑而省下打出租车的费用的话，他就可以省6美元了。故选C。
