At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible sites(地点) for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.

The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.

The real attractiong of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded(相邻) on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition fo the house and fences showed that it hadn’t been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apples trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.

I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don’t thing I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted (无牵挂的). It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.

B. It was next to the highway.

C. It was in a good position.

D. It was behind a nice garden.

Why did the author want to buy the farm in a hurry?

B. He hoped to enlarge the forest on the farm.

C. He wanted to keep the farm as it was.

D. He was eager to become a farm owner.

Parents need to be good role models to help their children make sensible financial decisions, according to Adam Hancock and hs team, from East Caronlina University in the US. Their work highlights that parents who argue about finances contribute to increasing credit card debt among their children during their students years. Their work is published online in Springer's Journal of Family and Economic Issues.

Credit card debt among college students has been a growing concern for researchers and policymakers over the last decade. In addition, there is growing concern among educators that more students are dropping out of school, not because of academic failure, but because of financial reasons, and credit card especially. Hancock and colleagues' study is the first to examine how parental interactions, and financial knowledge and attitudes may have a cumulative effect（累积效应）on the number of credit cards students own and their level of credit card debt.

The researchers analyzed data for 420 undergraduate students from seven different American universities, who took part in the College Student Financial Literacy Survey. According to the online survey, nearly two-thirds of students had a credit card, and nearly a third had more than one. Those students who reported that their parents argued about finances were more likely to have more than two cards than the students whose parents who did not argue about finances.

In terms of debt, those students who had two or more credit cards were nearly three times more likely to report having credit card debt over ＄500.

The researchers conclude, "It is clear that the influence of parents cannot be neglected. Researchers, educators and policymakers should work in finding effective ways to increase the positive financial behaviors fo college students. We need to help students learn financial skills and establish healthy financial attitudes at earlier ages to prevent poor financial habits from taking root."

31. In Adam Hancock's research, student's credit card debt is related to their _________.

B. The survey was conducted with the paper questionnaire.

C. Nearly all the students in this survey have credit cards.

D. Students have fewer cards if their parents argue more.

34. If you have two or more credit cards, you are more likely to ________.

A.get wealthy B.have argument C.buy more things D.become in debt

A. We need to turn to our parents when we have credit card debt.

I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling, I wish it were so. At your age, you ought to be growing from your parents, You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion, It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way fo showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (抓紧)at one another’s hands for reassurance.

They claim they want to dress as they please, but they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music, but somehow they all end up huddled round listening the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus and such a way is that the crowd is doing it . They have come at of their cocoon(蚕茧)into a larger cocoon.

But the barrier is worth climbing over, the path is worth following . You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party, You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records, You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with you classmate. Well, go to it , find yourself, be yourself Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you area. That’s the only kind of popularity that readily counts.
