For many     36   in the US, earning some money gives them a sense of    37    . By making their own money they can buy whatever they want . It also develops a sense of responsibility and independence .
Most teens I know have a small sum of money . Their   38     give them an allowance (零用钱). For some ,an allowance is given every week ; for    39    , every month or so . Usually they can get 10 to 30 dollars a month from their parents . An allowance is typically based on the    40    of chores (家务), such as washing the dishes , cleaning up one’s room, taking out the trash , and    41    the floor .   42    to younger siblings (兄弟姐妹) is also regarded as worthy of extra cash ,   43    some cases .
Many teens also work to get    44    .Since most of my peers (同伴) are not     45   for a formal job , many choose part-time positions . These require relatively     46   time and basically no training . They can have these jobs like babysitting ;   47    younger students , offered by most schools    48    a small fee ;   49    bagging groceries at local supermarkets .
   50    spending habits , most teens spend their money in a relatively carefree style . Often , a month’s allowance can be spent in just a few hours . I’m not saying that teens in US are   51     saving money . Indeed , in many situations , teens can be quite level-headed (头脑冷静) in   52     money towards college or other    53    plans . The way teens manage their money should not be seen as a   54     . It may just be a defining characteristic of their carefree    55   .

Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to (理解)the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.
But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, “learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column（专栏） called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.
In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying(欺负人). 
As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge(海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place --- to teach!
Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.
小题1:The passage mainly talks about _____.
A．how to get along well with teachers
B．the importance of a good relation with teachers
C．how much the students are expected of to get along with teachers
D．how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant
小题2: “Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _____.
A．learning becomes easier for you at once　　　　　
B．you find an opening to learning　　　　　
C．there’ll be more problems with learning　　　　　
D．there’ll be no problems with learning.
小题3:According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others.
B．You find it comfortable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.
C．You have a good relationship with teacher, so you can turn to him/ her when in trouble.
D．You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.
小题4:Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?
A．Teachers are excited even if you wouldn’t like to accept their teaching.
B．Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.　　　　
C．Though few there are still some students who can learn even if they don’t like the teacher.　　
D．Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.
McDonald's is the world single biggest food provider with annual sales of around $12.4bn. And the company's symbol Ronald McDonald is now （or so the company claims） the word's most recognized person after Santa Claus.
　　The first McDonald's restaurant was opened in San Bernardino, California, in 1948 by brothers Mac and Richard “Dick” McDonald. Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war, baby-boom market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.
　　After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954, the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur, a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to the Multimixer, milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald's chain. A year later, Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers' chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around $70m（￡44m）. Dick remained with the company until the Seventies, when he and Kroc fell out over Kroc's claim that the chain was his creation.
　　Today, an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc （who died in 1984） at McDonald's, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc did not found McDonald's, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac （1968） and the Egg McMuffin （1973）; and helped launch Ronald McDonald —— “in any language he means fun” —— on to television in 1963.
　　Every three hours, a new McDonald's franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India （vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace） and Israel （non kosher, despite fierce local objection）. McDonald's chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as “If you've got time to lean, you've go time to clean.”

Strange Baby-Naming Laws
Germany Parents are banned by law from using last names and the names of objects and products as first names. A child’s first name must clearly indicate his or her sex, and all names must be approved by the office of vital statistics in the area in which the child was born.
Iceland The country’s naming committee consults the National Register of Persons to determine if a name is acceptable. If parents want to go off-list, they must apply for approval and pay a fee, and the name must contain only letters in the Icelandic alphabet.
New Zealand The country’s Births, Deaths, and Marriages Registration Act of 1995 prohibits parents from choosing a name that “ might cause offense to a reasonable person; is unreasonably long; or is, includes, or resembles an official title or rank,” including, apparently, Adolf Hitler and Yeah Detroit—both names recently rejected.
Denmark If Danish parents prefer a moniker not on the list of 7,000 preapproved baby names, they must get permission from local church and government officials. Fifteen to 20 percent of the 1,100 reviewed names—including creative spellings of common names, last names as first names, and unusual names—are rejected each year.

Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen…
At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places； maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.
小题1:Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ______.
A．observing her school routineB．expressing her satisfaction
C．impressing her classmatesD．preserving her history
小题2:What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary?
A．A dull night on the journey.B．The beauty of the great valley.
C．A striking quotation from a book.D．Her concerns for future generations.
小题3:What does the author put in her diary now?
A．Notes and beautiful pictures.B．Special thoughts and feelings.
C．Detailed accounts of daily activities.D．Descriptions of unforgettable events.
小题4:The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is ______.
A．to experience itB．to live the present in the future
C．to make memoriesD．to give accurate representations of it
For those who are tired of doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer: a washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app (application).
Strange though it may seem — "my wife already does that" was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week — Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them "smart".
Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it's Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad.
The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owner is at work or on the bus.
Samsung says it's not just something new — the app connection actually has some practical uses.
"If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go." said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.
The company also says that with electricity rate (电价) varying depending on the time of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money.
Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do — enable laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV.
小题1: What can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the CES?
A．The machine will be a big success.
B．their wives like doing the laundry.
C．The machine is unrelated to their life.
D．This kind of technology is familiar to them.
小题2:We can conclude from Samsung's statements that ________.
A．the app connection makes life easier
B．it is better to dry clothes in the morning
C．smartphone can shorten the drying time
D．we should refresh clothes back at home
小题3:What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．The laundry should be frequently checked
B．Lazy people like using such machines
C．Good technologies also cause problems
D．Television may help do the laundry
