As the (58)B ambulance siren(警笛声) announced the arrival of help,a number of(59)A rushed at me:sadness for the Winter Man and(60)A that I didn't walk past another person in need.I was amazed that it had been so easy to be helpful.

One day my mother(13)Aearly from the kindergarten because we were going shopping for Christmas.I was(14)D at the sight of the lights and decorations,and as we walked through the doll section in the supermarket,I saw a doll I must have.Looking lovingly(15)B at my mother,I asked,"Mama,can I have that doll?"

I immediately (20)Don the ground and began screaming,"I want that doll,"over and over again.Christmas shoppers looked (21)C my mother calmly said,"Becky,you better get up by the(22)A of three or else.One…Two…Three."
Nothing.I was still in full(23)C.So then she lay down beside me on the floor,and began kicking and screaming like I did,"I want a new car,I want a new house,I want some jewelry,I want…"(24)D,I stood up.
"Mama,stop.Mama,get up,"I tearfully (25)B.
She stood,and(26)Cdust off herself.At first surprised,the customers waiting in line began to clap,and before I knew it they were (27)Aand laughing and patting my mother on her back.She went red and took a little bow.The next thirty minutes was a(an) (28)Cfor me because so many parents leaving the supermarket,(29)D their heads at me and said with a smile,"Your mom got you good.I bet you'll never try that again."

9.A young boy recently received an unexpected message in the mail from his father Joseph,who died two years ago.Rowan's dad was a hardworking man who wanted to give his son the best life he could.It was why Rowan's mother,Julie Van Stone,said Joseph joined the Navy(海军) and went to MIT to get two masters degrees.While at school in Boston,he would often write to Rowan.Even when he left school and was driving back to Colorado,he would send postcards from each state he stopped in.Those postcards were sent in 2007."I remember him saying he had sent 5 or 6,and I only got 3 or 4 in the mail.But I never thought anything of it,"Van Stone said.
Those postcards and pictures are priceless memories for Van Stone and her son,especially after Joseph passed away from a rare brain disease.Rowan never had a chance to say goodbye.But,on Saturday,just days before the two-year anniversary of Joseph's death,a postcard a rrived in the mail.It arrived March 11,2015.The message read:"Hello from Pennsylvania.I love you,and I miss you so much.See you soon.Love,Daddy."
Neither he nor his mother knows how it happened,and they may never know.But,they have their own ideas why."I feel like that was the final goodbye that he didn't get to say,"Van Stone said.Van Stone says Joseph's last words to her before he died were:"Everything is a circle.We will see each other again.All that matters is love."
21.What did Rowan's dad do to give his son the best life?B
A.He bought many for Julie.
B.He became a soldier in Navy.
C.He kept writing to his son.
D.He got many masters degrees.
22. How long did it take for the postcard to reach Rowan?D
A.2 years.B.5 years.C.6 years.D.8 years.
23. Where did Rowan's dad send the postcard?C
A.In Boston.B.In Colorado
B.In Pennsylvania     D.In New York.
10.Parents are often scared to talk to their kids about money.In fact kids need to understand how to save and manage their money.Proper preparation for your children,even at a young age,can start them down the path of a successful financial life.(46)F
Talk early and often.
Children start learning about money long before their first savings account,job or credit card.
(47)G Avoiding the subject until your child needs a bank account can make the conversation hasty(草率的) and confusing.
(48)D
A trip to the grocery store is a good time to explain price comparison,value and inflation.An ATM stop offers a chance to explain that money doesn't actually come from a machine.You can discuss both earned income,investment returns and even inheritance.Opening bills is a chance to talk about payment for services,credit card debt and interest rates.Children need to be taught about debt,specifically loans and credit cards.
Talk about giving.
Children should learn that money doesn't always need to be used for them.(49)A Don't just write the charitable check.Get the kids involved in the process by asking them to pick and check charities.
Websites like www.charitynavigator.org  and www.guidestar.org provide information and ratings.
(50)B
If they open a savings account,they can place their savings in the bank to earn a small amount of interest.Besides,they can learn about fees,account maintenance and even interest.It can provide a motivation for them to save money.You can offer them a prize if they put the money into savings.
