10.As Labor Day gets close,many Americans are trying to find some final vacation time before kids head back to school.(36)G.With people still looking for that escape,it's important to know some tips to make your dollars go the extra mile when travelling.
Choose places that are in their off--season during kids'school breaks.Over the Christmas/New Year's break,for example,the prices for flights and hotels in the Caribbean and Hawaii are sky-high.(37)C.You can go to places that are in their low season but are warm and festive(欢乐的).
For US trips,think about extended-stay hotels.Extended-stay hotels give you affordable suites with a lot of free facilities for the money.You get a door to the kids'room that you can close at bedtime.(38)E A refrigerator,microwave and washing machines,as well as free breakfast,Wi-Fi and sometimes even dinner and snacks are available,too.
For European city trips,rent an apartment.Hotel rooms in European cities can be expensive and tiny.They have no refrigerator or microwave,and neighbors can hear every sound.(39)B It also gives you more space and thicker walls.The kitchen can help you save some money in hotel breakfast charges,and the washing machine can help you save the time for washing.
(40)DHunting for specific items--maybe they're seashells from each beach you stop at,maps from tourist information offices or door handle do-not-disturb-signs from hotels---gives kids a task and keeps them busy in a trip.Collecting souvenirs on a certain theme is a lot cheaper than buying them.
A.Look for things with your kids.
B.An apartment usually costs less.
C.So you can consider other places.
D.Collect things instead of buying things.
E.You also have more space to move around.
F.You can also choose extended-stay hotels if you like.
G.However,a getaway any time of the year can be pricey.

8.The notice was posted next to the guests'mailboxes in the apartment building I'd just moved into in Brooklyn,New York."A Mitzvah for Mrs.Green,"it read."Sign up to drive Mrs.G in 3B home from her chemotherapy treatments twice a month."
Since I wasn't a driver,I couldn't add my name,but the word mitzvah stayed in my thoughts after I went upstairs.It's a Hebrew word that means"to do a good deed".
And according to my grandmother,it also had another meaning.This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she'd noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me.Linda,it's a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else,but sometimes it's a blessing to let another person do something for you."
Grandma would be shaking her head at me right now.Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left,but I'd said I could manage.Letting them help would have interfered with my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21.
Snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class.I put on two sweaters,a coat,a wool hat and boots,making for the bus stop.In this December storm it was a hard journey.As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted for me,I could almost hear her voice:"Why don't you see if you can find a lift?"
A thousand reasons came into my mind:I don't know,my neighbors; I don't like to disturb others; I feel funny asking for favors.Pride would not let me knock on a door and say,"It's a 10-minute ride by car but a long wait for the bus,and it's a 30-minute bus ride,so could you possibly give me a lift to school?
I labored to the bus stop,reaching it just as a bus went by.
Three weeks later,on the night of my final exam,the snow was falling steadily.I made my way to the bus slop.For an hour,I stretched my neck,praying desperately that a bus would come.Then I gave up.The wind at my back pushed me toward home,and I prayed,"Dear God,how can I get to school?What should I do?
As I pulled Grandma's scarf more tightly around my neck,again I seemed to hear that whisper:Ask someone for a lift!It could be a mitzvah.
That idea had never really made sense to me.And even if I wanted to ask someone for a good deed,which I did not,there wasn't a soul on the street.
But as I pashed the door of my apartment building open,I found myself face to face with awoman at the mailbox.She was wearing a brown coal and had a set of keys in her hand.Obviously she had a car,and just as obviously,she was going out.In that split second,desperation overcame pride,I blurted,"Could you possibly give me alift?I hurriedly explained,"I never ask anybody for a lift,but…"
An odd look crossed the woman's face,and I added,"Oh!I live in 4R.I moved in recently."
"I know,she said."I've seen you through the window."Then,without hesitation,"Of course,I'll give you a lift.Let me get my car key."
"Your car key?"I repeated."Isn't that it in your hand?"
She looked down."No,no,I was just going to get my mail.I'll be right back."And she disappeared upstairs,ignoring my"Ma'am!Please!I don't mean to put you out!"I was terribly embarrassed.
But when she came back,she spoke so warmly that I stopped feeling uncomfortable."You know the way better than I,"she said."Why don't you drive?"
"I can't,"I said.Now I felt uneasy again.
She just laughed and patted me on the hand,saying,"It's not so important,"and then I laughed,too.
"You remind me of my grandmother,"I said.
At that,a slight smile crossed her lips."Just call me Grandma Alice.My grandchildren do."
When she dropped me off,I thanked her again and again and stood there waving as she drove away.My final exam was a piece of cake compared with the difficult experience I'd gone through to get to it,and asking Grandma Alice for help had relaxed me so that after class I was able to ask easily,"Is anyone going my way?"It turned out that while I'd been waiting for a bus every night,three fellow students passed my apartment house."Why didn't you say something before?"they chorused.
Back home as I walked up the stairs.I passed Grandma Alice leaving her neighbor's apartment."Good night,Mrs.Green.See you tomorrow,"the neighbor was saying.
Mrs.Green,the woman with cancer."Grandma Alice"was Mrs.Green.
I stood on the stairs,my hand covering my mouth:I had asked a person struggling with cancer to go out in a snowstorm to give me a lift to school."Oh,Mrs.Green,I stammered,"I didn't realize who you were.Please forgive me."
I forced my legs to move me up the stairs.In my apartment,I stood still,not taking my coat off.How could I have been so insensitive?In a few seconds,someone tapped on my door.Mrs.Green stood there.
"May I tell you something?"she asked.I nodded slowly,motioning her toward a chair,sinking down onto my couch."I used to be so strong."she said.She was crying."I used to be able to do things for other people.Now everybody keeps doing things for me,giving me things,cooking my meals and taking me to places where I want to go.It's not that I don't appreciate it,but I don't have chances.Tonight before I went out to get my mail,I prayed to God to let me feel like part of the human race again.Then you came along…"

15.Toronto is a big and beautiful city,which has developed from a relative unknown place over the past half century to the centre of culture,trade and communication in Canada.
With its colorful ethnic(种族的)mix,rich history and breathtaking buildings,Toronto offers non-stop adventures to the tourists.To get a sense of how big,various and magical Toronto is,the best place to start is the CN Tower,the tallest free-standing(无支撑物的)building in the world.From this point,visitors can get a bird's-eye view of the city's amazing scenery and unique geography.
In addition to being an important center of culture,trade and communication in Canada,Toronto is also a major multi-ethnic city.It has a population of over 4.5maillion,and its citizens come from countries around the world and from all manner of ethnic backgrounds.Every day,in most places of the city,a hundred different languages can be heard on the streets,from Hindi to Greek to French.This,perhaps,explains why former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau once said that Canada is really more mosaic(马赛克,镶嵌图案) of cultures and languages than a melting pot.
Street signs in Toronto are mostly in English.Weekly and daily newspapers are published in various languages,and the city hosts successful international film festival each September.It is also home to a popular baseball team,the Toronto Blue Jays.Toronto has something for everyone.

10.Jennifer Lawrence,25,is known for being d.own"to"earth and likable-she ordered McDonald's on the red carpet at the Oscars.
And when she described her anger and disappointment at the fact that women are not equal to men in Hollywood,Lawrence"continued to make America fall in love with her",said Business Insider.
Earlier this year,an E-mail from film company Sony Pictures showed that Lawrence and Amy Adams made less money for American Hustle(2013)than their male(男性) co*stars,even though both women played major roles in the movie.
In an article published in Lenny Letter,a popular e-mail newsletter,Lawrence wrote"I'm trying to find the‘adorable(可爱的) way to state my opinion and still be likable'!"
Lawrence joins a long list of actresses,including Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett,who have spoken up about Hollywood's pay gap.
According to Forbes,the 10 highest paid movie actors in 2015,led by Robert Downey Jr,made$431 million.But the 10 highest paid movie actresses,led by Lawrence,only made about $218 million.The pay gap comes partly from the low number of actresses.According to a report in August,only 28.1 percent of characters in 2014's 100 top grossing(高票房的) films were female(女性) and of them,only 21 percent had a female lead or co-lead character.
"People with more experience are paid more,"Nancy Dubue,the president CEO of A+E Networks,told Variety,"The problem is that the industry still gives too many men that experience."
The pay gap is a problem that affects the whole US,The White House reported that women earn 78 cents to every dollar a man gets there.
"This is what made Lawrence's piece powerful:it showed that women still experience pay inequality everywhere-whether you're Hollywood's top talent or you work in a retail store,"commented CNN.
As Lawrence points out,it's not just about less payment for women; it's also about women making sure that their pay shows their value.

24.According to Business Insider,AmericansB Lawrence after she expressed her anger at Hollywood's pay gap.
A.dislike.
B.like
C.doubt
D.forgive
25.From the passage we can infer thatC.
A.men earn more money for the same job than women because they are better than women
B.Lawrence is the leader of the 10 highest paid movie actresses
C.a great many actresses have spoken up about Hollywood's pay gap
D.a White House report points out that men make twice as much money as women
26.The writer's purpose of writing this passage isA.
A.to inform
B.to advise
C.to persuade
D.to argue
27.The best title of the passage can beB.
