Being that I worked in a grocery store for 7 years, I know quite a bit about impulsive purchases. In fact, I helped (sadly to say) push certain products by placing them in a certain fashion. Through said experience, I tend to know some of the best ways to counter the impulsive nature of buying things that are unnecessary.

The following is a 3- point list to counter the need to buy something shoved in your face…

Don't bring the kids.

You wouldn't believe (or maybe you parents would) how much more junk parents buy for their kids that is completely impulsive. Working as a checker at a grocery store, I quickly learned that most of the time kids were with their parents, the parents would buy something else within 10 feet of the check stand.

Bring exact cash.

I like to use my debit card because I am able to track every penny better, but holding and letting go of cash is much tougher for me personally. So, if I am going through a tough time budgeting properly, I will bring the allotted (限定的)amount of cash to the place of business and only allow that to be used.

Ignore salesman.

If you are at a department store and someone asks if you need help, try to ignore their push as much as possible. Sure, if you know nothing about laptops, get their advice, but even then I suggest doing your research pre-shop. Salesman could care less what you want. It's all about what their quota or commission is. Ignore them.

2.Why does the author like to use debit card?

B．The author will bring the exact cash to buy things when going through a tough time.

C．Salesmen care much about what you want, so you can follow their advice.

D．The author worked in a grocery store for 7 years.

A farmer had some puppies（小狗）to 36 . He painted a sign advertising the puppies and 37__ nailing （钉）it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, a little boy came to him.

“Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.”

“Well,” said the farmer, as he 38 the sweat off his face, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost 39 money. Do you have enough money?”

The boy 40 his head for a moment. Then reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of 41 and held it up to the farmer. “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?” “Sure,” said the farmer. And with that he 42 a whistle (口哨声), “Here, Dolly!” he called. 43 from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly 44 by four little balls of fur. The little boy’ eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their 45 to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. 46 another little ball appeared; this one noticeably smaller. Then in a somewhat 47 manner the little pup began hobbling（蹒跚） toward the others, doing its best to 48 .

“I want that one,” the little boy said, 49 to the smallest one. The farmer said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you 50 these other dogs would.”

With that the little boy 51 back from the fence, and began 52 up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he exposed a steel support running down both sides of his leg 53 itself to a specially made 54 .

“Imagine you are walking along the road. Suddenly you fall over and all the passers-by burst into laughter. You feel very　 36　 and think the world is laughing at you . But in fact, five minutes later, they have　 37　 it ever happened.” The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn’t agree with the　 38　 .

The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of　 39 is to pretend nothing has happened, and so avoid　 40　 trouble.

I admit that we should keep　 41　 because “Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your　 42　 can let them forget it.” But this is far from satisfactory. We should do　43　 to make things better.

I used to be a(n) 44　 girl and not very good at maths. Our new maths teacher asked me a question and I still remember how I hung my head in 45 when I couldn’t answer it.

“If you don’t know the answer, just tell me.” the teacher said, “If you don’t how can I know 　 46　 you know the answer or not?” All of my classmates burst into laughter. My face turned red but the teacher　 47　 me to go to the blackboard and　 48　 what I knew. If I had　 49　 the words in the article, I would have given up. But I tried my best. And to everyone’s 50　, I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, “Well done! I　 51　 you could do it!”

Since then, I have become active in maths as　 52　 as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know　 53　 I do can make things better. Everyone is the　 54　 of his own fate.

If we make mistakes, we should take on an active　55　 . Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep(哭泣), and you weep alone.

The day before the deadline for this article,I had no clue what I was going to write about. I took my problem to the editor-in-chief, and.he said to me:“Don’t worry; you’re creative. ”

I’m not sure where the editor-in-chief reached the conclusion that I was “creative”. Maybe it was through the poems I wrote. Personally, I simply enjoy writing because it’s fun. There’s also the fact that I can’t draw or do anything else creatively, I’m equally sure that there are people in the boat on the other side who can make things look excellent, but can’t write a poem.

At this point you probably want to ask me what poetry and art have to do with engineering. For one, it makes you a more rounded person, making you a better engineer. More importantly, as an engineer, you will be faced with many problems every day. There are some that can be solved by consulting a textbook, but more often than not, you will need that thing in your brain to put together things in a completely original combination to solve the problem at hand.

Think of the wonderful things that creative engineers have done. Civil engineers have made the road more long-lasting so we don’t have to close them for repairs as often. Coming up with a new innovation (创新) is similar to writing a good poem. It’s not some-thing you plan to do. The critical moment comes unexpectedly in the middle of nowhere. You don’t think about what you’re doing, you simply do. After some mad struggling you take a look at the end product and say to yourself, “This is a masterpiece. ” This is perhaps the greatest personal satisfaction one can

experience.

So all you engineers out there get out and do something creative. I don’t care if it’s writing a poem or a computer program, just be natural and do something creative.

66. This passage mainly deals with .

A. the creativity of engineers B.the power of editor-in-chief

68. According to the author, art can help an engineer to .

A.find the solutions to problems B. learn to write poetry

C. be courageous in face of challenges D. get along well with others

A. logically developed B. strictly planned

C.experience- based D. naturally creative

70. The greatest personal satisfaction of an engineer comes from .

A.planning his work successfully B. building things quickly

You ____ face trouble if you let out the secret. We won’t have any of that.
