It's only $79.99! How many times have you heard those words on TV or read them in a newspaper ad? The word "only" is supposed to make you think that this is a great price for the product.
But think about this. How long does it take you to earn $79.99? What do you have to do to get that money? The little thing that's only $79.99 is worth(值)almost 12 hours of your work! And if you are making less than this, how long will it take to earn that much money?
So as you stand in a shop, telling yourself that you have to buy something, think about how long you must work to earn the money to pay for it. Is that $85 T-shirt really worth the time to earn $85? You could probably find a similar(相似的)shirt at another shop for under $35, right?
Even if your parents are still buying you clothes, someone has to work for the money. If you spend money on one thing, you don't have money to spend on anything else. So if you spend $85 on those jeans, you cannot put it in the bank, and you cannot go snowboarding or to the movies with friends because you don't have the money to go.
57. Saying that it's "only$ 79.99" may make you think that it_______.
A. is expensive B. is important C. is cheap D. is suitable
58. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. The newspaper ad may use some words to promote sales(促销).
B. The$ 79.99 T-shirt doesn't have good quality.
C. The T-shirt may make you spend the money you will use for some other things.
D. You can find a similar T-shirt at another shop for a lower price.

A. the T-shirt isn't worth buying
B. the T-shirt is too expensive
C. we shouldn't believe the newspaper ad
D. we should think about what it is really worth before buying

Problems | ||
A | B | C |
My problem is my parents. They never stop going on about how I should keep my room tidy, keep my hair tidy and wear smart clothes. They even make me do the washing-up after dinner every night! None of my friends have got such terrible parents. What should I do? Helen | My best friend has suddenly turned her back on me and I don’t know why! Last week we phoned each other every day and e-mailed too, and over the weekend we went shopping together and she was fine. But at school on Monday morning she didn’t look at me or speak to me. I don’t know what I’ve done. She now spends all her time with another group of friends. Jane | I have a really bad habit of chewing(嚼)the ends of my hair. I try to stop, but I can’t! My mom is starting to get really angry about it. Have you got any ideas? Gina |
Advice | ||
Hi _________, Why should your parents do all the washing-up? You should help around the house—it’s only fair. I don’t think you should change your looks though. Young people should look like young people. | ②Hi_________, Wearing your hair pulled back in a ponytail(马尾辫)will help keep it out of your mouth. When you feel like chewing something, try bubble gum(泡泡糖). Give yourself time and you should be able to break this habit. The first few days are usually the hardest. Good luck! | ③Hi ________, Don’t worry about it so much! Phone your friend up as usual and she won’t be able to refuse you. I am sure you will get along well with each other. Everything will be fine. |
