  These days, experiences, like many other things, are becoming increasingly expensive. One has to pay a lot for them, even an ordinary one.

  Not long ago, I wanted to invite my friend to lunch. What we really reed was a good and quiet place so that we could talk, not a big meal. So I selected one club. I belong to that club, too. What could be nicer? “Let's go to the club. ” I told my friend.

  When I ordered a day in advance, I was asked whether I would have a 20 yuan or 30 yuan lunch. I said, “30 yuan . ”I didn't realize until I was asked to pay after lunch, that 30 yuan was for each person.

  There were five people that day, and all of us were surprised by the quality of the 30 yuan meal (for all, we thought). The bill came at last. It was 216.40 yuan (150 for the five of us plus the money for drinks, fruits and air-conditioning), I paid the bill without a word.

  What could I say? It was not the club's fault. It was my own ignorance(无知)that made me pay the largest bill in my life. On the whole, it was not so bad, we had a good lunch at a quiet place. Besides, this experience will help in other years.

  To support my idea, I have developed my own calculation 30 yuan for the lunch and 186.40 for the experience. The experience has made me ten times wiser.

1.Now many things are becoming ________ .

[  ]

A.less experiential

B.are not so experiential

C.as expensive as before

D.more expensive

2.What we really wanted to have was ________.

[  ]

C.us 20 yuan each

D.us 30 yuan each

4.What do you think makes me pay the largest bill in my life?

[  ]

A.My fault.

B.My mistake.

C.The club's trick.

D.The club's mistake.

  Being thirteen has certain problems that only another thirteen-year-old would understand.The biggest, I think, is learning to get along well with adults.I have found that when dealing with grown-ups, it is wise to remember two things.

  1.Always use your head

  2.Never use your head

  For instance, one day just before supper, my mother sent me to the store for a loaf of whole-wheat bread.They didn’t have any.When I told my mother, she said, “Well, what kind did you get?” I told her I didn’t get any.She looked as if I had just announced that I was leaving home for good.“For goodness’ sake!” She said, “If they hadn’t had whole-wheat, you should have got something else! Why don’t you use your head?”

  Not long after that, she sent me to the store for red oilcloth.They didn’t have any, so I bought seven yards of purple.I thought it was pretty.Mother didn’t.She said, “Who ever heard of purple oilcloth in a red kitchen?” I told her I was only trying to use my head.She said.“Well, don’t ! And in the future, if you can’t get what I send you for, don’t get anything.”

  See what I mean?

  There are other things that seem a little strange, too.If my father goes out for the evening, he tells me to “look after” my mother and sister.But if the family goes out, and I want to stay home, my father won’t let me.He doesn’t feel comfortable if I am home alone.That means I am old enough to “look after” my mother and sister but not old enough to “look after” myself.

  Another problem is what to do when you trip over the cat and land with your head in the refrigerator, causing a large lump(肿块)to appear just over the right eyebrow.In that case, your father could feel free to say with a few choice words.Your sister could shed(流出)enough tears to dampen the whole room.Your mother could, and probably would, do both.But you? You are thirteen and can’t do anything! You are too young to curse(咒骂), and “big boys” don’t cry.So you just stand there looking more stupid than usual.But in spite of all this I still think thirteen is a wonderful age!

(1)

The main idea of the passage is that _________.

[  ]

A.

young children are boring

B.

being thirteen means too many responsibilities

C.

a thirteen-year-old boy is the sun of the family

D.

thirteen-year-old boys have special problems

(2)

The author says the biggest problem is _________.

[  ]

A.

learning how to use one’s head

B.

taking on responsibilities

C.

showing you can be depended on

D.

learning how to get along with grown-ups

(3)

The author complains that there is no acceptable way for a thirteen-year-old boy to _________.

[  ]

A.

prevent his sister from crying

B.

act when he is in the kitchen

C.

prevent himself tripping over the cat

D.

behave when he hurts himself

(4)

The author believes being a boy of thirteen is _________.

[  ]

A.

frustrating

B.

painful

C.

delightful

D.

tiring
