3.Some people will do just about anything to save money.And I am one of them.Take my family's last vacation.It was my six-year-old son's winter break from school,and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip.The flight was overbooked,and Delta,the airline,offered us﹩400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.I had meetings in New York,So I had to get back.But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay.I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.
The next day,my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight.Yes,I encouraged-okay,ordered-them to wait it out at the airport,to"earn"more Delta Dollars.Our total take:﹩1,600.Not bad,huh?
Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either.But as a big-time bargain hunter,I know the value of a dollar.And these days,a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.
I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks.I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade.I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade:A Consumer Survival Guide.And I really do what I believe in.
I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth.I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes,clothes for my children,and expensive restaurants.But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut.It keeps its shape longer,and it's the first thing people notice.And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture.Quality lasts.

4.阅读下面短文,并根据题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)
I'm not an athlete,but I am a lover of the Olympics.My biggest sports moment ever didn't  require me to be the fastest,the highest,or the strongest.It just required me to be in the right place at the right time,and catch the opportunity when it came to me.It was to carry our national flag for the Olympic Torch Relay.
  As a part of the celebration,flag bearers(旗手)were needed.I served in the army at that time and the Olympic organizers asked for volunteers to help carry some of the flags.Although it demanded that I give up part of my weekends and get up early,I thought that it was the chance of a lifetime.
  There were several different groups that took part in the event as flag bearers.We soldiers were going to be out in front leading them.On the day of the event,we arrived early at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.Many people arrived to see the flame arrive from Greece,and the beginning of the Olympic Torch Relay.It was exciting to wait for our turn to enter the coliseum.
  As a flag bearer,I was supposed to run out in front.Though the flag was fairly heavy,I picked it up and ran with it.I ran past rows of people.I ran through television cameras.It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life,being able to carry our national flag in an international event like the Olympics.I was very proud of it.
  I had never been able to attend the Olympics,and I might never be important enough to carry an Olympic torch or anything like that,but I did get to carry our national flag in the torch relay,although I will no longer have the opportunity to carry the flag in the Olympics,and that would be one sports experience that would be difficult to forget.
