All my life I had loved airports.To me,they were fl kind of magic gateway to the world,but today it seemed like a cold and heartless place.

“Well,here we are,the airport,"my sister said with fl sigh.As 1 watched her unload my luggage,I could see the sadness in her eyes.One last hug and a final good-bye and I would be on my way to a new lire abroad,leaving my beloved sister behind.

I looked at my sister and even though her eyes were filled with tears,she was trying to keep a brave face.“You’d better go or you’ll miss your flight,”she said.

“I am just going to walk away and not look back,” I said. As I held her one last time she whispered,“Don’t worry about me,I’ll be fine."“I’ll miss you,” I replied with tears in my eyes.As I promised,I did not look back。but 1 was sobbing.To me it was the end of the world.

While boarding the plane 1 was still crying.I did not have the energy to put my bag in the overhead locker, so I put it on the empty seat next to mine.As I settled into my chair, a feeling of sadness overwhelmed(淹没) me.I felt like my best friend had just been taken away from me.

The plane shook heavily and the bag fell,with some stuff spreading on the floor.When I bent over to gather the things up,I saw an unfamiliar little book in the middle of my belongings.It was not until I picked it up that I realized that it was a diary.

Immediately I recognized my sister’s handwriting. “Hi,Sis,What a day it has been today.First you let me know that you are moving abroad and then my boss…”My sister had been keeping a diary for the past month and she was now passing it on to me.I was to write in it for the next couple of months and then send it back to her.Even though a large ocean separated us,at some point it felt like she was actually there.

Learning to save money when you’re young is an important lesson. All good lessons and habits begin early, and saving is a skill that everyone needs. Many people-adults included-do not have a good sense of saving for the long run.   

I have been lucky to learn this lesson early because I have had a grass. cutting business since I was 10 years old. Of the money I make I spend about 10 percent and save the other 90.   

Making sure you save and don't spend too much is a good way to build up wealth.   I have put my earnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow. Young people should realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.   

At high school many parents pay for almost everything, so your expenses can be small.  If you have a lob, you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow. Then you can begin planning for your future. When you spend money, you not only lose that money, but also lose the interest you could have earned by saving it.   

After high school, college is expensive and then “real” life begins, with expenses such as food and rent. If you can hold onto a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen, going to college and buying a house will be much easier.                              ,  the more money you’ll save and the easier it will be. If you are in your thirties without any savings, you will always have to struggle.   

Later in life it can be hard to start saving because general cots of living are more expensive and you may only have enough to pay your bills. If you want to buy fl house and have a family, you need money to start with, which comes from saving.   

Many say money cannot make you happy, and this is true. But money can help you to lead a secure life.   

Saving early will mean you will have to work for fewer years when you are older. It will also allow you to spend time doing the things that you want to d0.   

In addition to this, it will mean you can live the way you want to without worrying.   

76.   What’s the best title of the passage?  

77.   Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?  

As long as you save early, you’ll do less work to live well at your old age.

the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words. )

Do you sometimes put off doing your homework on a school night to watch TV?A new study says that middle school students who watch TV or play video games during the week do worse in school.The study also says that watching TV and playing video games on weekends don’t affect school performance that much.

“They could watch a lot on weekends and it didn’t seem to connect with doing worse in school,”said Dr.Iman Sharif of Children’s Hospital at Montefiore in New York.The study appears in the October issue of Pediatrics.Researchers drew their conclusions after surveying  (调查)4,500 students in New Hampshire and Vermont middle schools.

To reach their findings,researchers didn’t look at grades or test scores.Instead,they asked students to rate their own performance on a scale ranging from “excellent’’ to “below”.

Other studies have found a connection between kids’ ability to learn and the amount of TV they watch.One study even found that kids with televisions in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than kids without them.

Machu Picchu is considered to be a truly extraordinary archaeological(考古学的) discovery and is one of South America’s largest tourist sites. As many as one thousand visitors visit the ancient Ionian(印加文化的)ruins daily. What draws vacationers and adventurers to this remote location high in the Andes Mountains of Peru(秘鲁)?A large part of the attraction is the mysteries that surround Machu Picchu. For example,Machu Picchu is:Considered “the lost city” of the Incas because it was never found by Spanish invaders and was known to only a few local peasants for almost four hundred years.

The “city in the clouds”,Machu Picchu’s lasting beauty comes from the careful blending of its striking architecture with its mountaintop environment. Its greatest skill shows are in the stone structures,which equals t hat of the ancient Egyptians. The stone blocks were so appropriately cut that they fit together without the need for mud. The largest stones at Machu Picchu weigh as much as fifteen tons! It has been difficult to explain how the huge blocks were transported. The buildings, including many that have survived lots of earthquakes,contain stones which interlock so perfectly that fl knife cannot be forced between them. When compared to other ancient civilizations,it is difficult to understand how Machu Picchu could have been missed by the Spanish and lost from history for four hundred years.
