Few of us haven’t read Cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams.Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默无闻).

Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too.Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.

Mary is shy but loves to dance.Compared with other girls, she is invisible.However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears.

Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable.Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball.They meet and fall in love with each other.But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams.Of course, there is a wicked stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies.Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school.Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.

The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale.Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful.There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.

“The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson.“Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.”

Personal money management website Mint, com suggests recently that responsible parents should give their kids credit cards―possibly starting as young as middle school. The web?site says a credit card will help children master responsible spending habits and give parents the chance to teach them some valuable lessons.

It's absolutely true that kids should learn about how a credit card works and how to use it responsibly. But the idea that they need a card of their own to practise this is questiona?ble.

Yes, credit cards are a teaching tool, but it's the time you spend educating them about money management that does the teaching, not the piece of plastic. Sit down with your children—here we are referring to teenagers and walk them through your credit card statements. Point out important things like the due date, late fee warning, and APR(贷款年利率).

If you have good credit, adding a child as an authorized user onto one of your credit cards also provides teachable mo?ments. Allow kids to use the card to make specific purchases and require their participation in payment.

Since the card is still in your name, you can take them off it at any point and cut off their access if they're not able to handle the responsibility.

Another option is to set a child up with an account at a local bank that offers free use of a debit card(借记卡).Unlike the credit card, the debit card has no overdraft (透支) function.

Children can only use the card to pay for things and the money is taken directly from their bank accounts. If the ac?count is empty, the worst that will happen is the card being declined at a cash register.

5. Why does Mint, com advise parents to give middle school kids credit cards?

 

A.     To leave their kids financially independent.

B.     To help their kids form good spending habits.

C.     To teach their kids how to save pocket money.

D.     To strengthen the relationship with their kids.

6.The author considers a credit card as a teaching tool be?cause .

 

A.     it motivates teenagers to ask their parents for less fi?nancial support

B.     it helps teenagers to know some basic knowledge of credit cards

C.     it contains detailed financial information on the card surface

D.     it offers parents the chance to teach kids to manage money

7.What is the purpose of adding kids as credit card author?ized users?

 

A.     To avoid extremely high overdraft fees.

B.     To encourage them to share household expenses.

C.     To teach them to be responsible credit card users.

D.     To help them pay close attention to their bank accounts.

8.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

 

A.     Further information about debit cards.

B.     The overdraft function of a debit card.

C.     More disadvantages of credit cards.

D.     The kids' attitudes towards a credit card.

The new world of today introduced new threats that were not known in the previous generations: Internet preda?tors (掠夺 者). Often we do a lot of researching, shopping, talking―just about everything online nowadays. New ad?vancements in revolution comes along with the unwanted at?tackers. There are people out there who gain pleasure from interrupting and taking from our peaceful lives wh< . :, not rightfully theirs. But there are indeed counteractive measures that can be set in place to fend off these predators from such damage. I'd like to introduce Guardian Eye.

Within this program is a complex program which has several functions to create a safe atmosphere for whoever uses the computer. It has the ability to track and log every key?stroke, every website that has ever been accessed, take screenshots of web pages, block web pages according to con?tent and even send you messages via e-mail once conspicuous (可疑的)activities have been reported and logged. Just think, you or your children could be browsing and searching through the Internet and inappropriate content pops up with several different windows. You try to click out of the win?dows but you accidentally click one which releases spy soft?ware, infecting your computer. Guardian Eye blocks unwant?ed content from popping up or appearing to the users, which I thought was extremely convenient. In this way there is not e-ven the slightest temptation.

This product helps prevent damage from being done to your computer and worse, your identity. It's quite the prod?uct and it offers a small version so you may try it out first. If you'd like the full package, it's a one-time fee of $ 39. 99 and can be installed on unlimited computers for your convenience. It's a nice deal and I'm considering getting it again considering I do a lot of writing on various websites myself.

1.In what way is Guardian Eye most useful to kids?

 

A.     It stops them from opening too many windows.

B.     It makes them aware of conspicuous activities.

C.     It keeps them from seeing unwanted content.

D.     It stops spy software from entering the computer.

2. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

 A.You have to pay for Guardian Eye every year.

B.The author has never used Guardian Eye.

C.You can use Guardian Eye for free.

D.Guardian Eye is economical to use. 

3.For what purpose does the author writer the passage?

A.     To recommend a piece of software to us.

B.     To describe how to use a piece of software.

C.     To ask us to pay attention to online safety.

D.     To tell us how to fend off online predators.
