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 grasscutting 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 job，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 time the money has to grow.If you are in your thirties without any savings，you will always have to struggle.The earlier you begin saving，the easier it is to create a nest egg.

Later in life it can be hard to start saving because general costs of living are more expensive and you may only have enough to pay your bills.If you want to buy a 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 do.

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

【题目】My English teacher is really __________. She is often seen working in her office far into the night.

A. warm-hearted B. easy-going

C. hard-working D. self-confident

【题目】When you're surfing the Internet on your laptop from your dorm or home, do you know your personal details are being gathered secretly? And would you be surprised to know the information may be sold cheaply to advertisers and marketers?

According to an investigation by The Wall Street Journal, all it takes is a tiny file in a computer-a single code consisting of a long series of numbers and letters to record the computer user's age, gender, location, favorite movies and hobbies.

The newspaper reports that Lotame Solutions Inc., a New York company, uses sophisticated (高科技) software called a “ beacon" to capture what people are typing on a website.

Lotame packages that data into profiles (个人资料) about individuals, only without their names, and sells the profiles to companies seeking customers. Batches of such data may be sold for a few dollars.

The Wall Street Journal survey discovered that spying on Internet users is one of the fastest-growing businesses on the World Wide Web.

The "cookie" a tiny text file put on your PC by websites or marketing firms which might be used to remember your preferences for one site, or to track you across many sites is already old news. There are new and more complex tools such as “beacons” which scan in real time what people are doing on a webpage. These beacons instantly assess the Internet user's location, income, shopping interests and even medical conditions.

Millions of Internet users around the world also face unprecedented (空前的) threats. Private, sensitive, personal and business information is being gathered and sold without their knowledge.

Companies insist the information they gather is anonymous and the data is used harmlessly. But the technology has grown so powerful that even some of the biggest websites in the US don't know that they were installing intrusive files on visitors' computers. These include MSN. com and Yahoo. com.

Next time you visit a webpage and find an ad banner advertising something you've been planning to buy, don't be amazed that your computer can read your mind.

【1】The purpose of the passage is to __________.

A. introduce a tiny file in a computer-a single code

B. show how your individual information was let out when you surf the Internet

D. a tiny file in a computer-a single code consisting of a long series of numbers and letters can record users' information

【3】It can be inferred that __________.

A. because the data is used harmlessly the Internet users around the world will not face threats

B. when a person surf the Internet, his personal details may be let out without his knowledge

C. your __________ computer can really read your mind

D. MSN.com and Yahoo.com. use software to capture what people are typing on a website

A. is a tiny text file put on your PC by websites

B. is a soft ware that can package that data into profiles about individuals

C. can assess the Internet user's location, income, shopping interests and even medical conditions

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

(2012年湖南卷，B)Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.

King's Art Centre

A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.

You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the master' or get more creative with paint—free of charge.

The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.

The Botanic Garden

The Garden has over 8,000 plant species，it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.

The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.

Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.

The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid' is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.

Byron's Pool

Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.

It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron's Pool. A couple of miles past Grant Chester in the south Cambridge shire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf—over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.

【1】As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for________.

A．attending the masters' class

B．working with local artists

D．seeing an exhibition

【2】“Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are ________.

A．common insects

B．impressive plants

D．wildlife-enthusiasts

【3】We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ________.

A．to fear pet bears

B．to like walking

C．to be a heavy drinker

D．to finish university in 1805

【4】In the passage Byron's Pool is described as a lake________.

A．surrounded by fields

B．owned by Lord Byron

C．located in Grant Chester

D．discovered by Virginia Woolf

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Some places for weekend break.

B．A way to become creative in art.

C．The colorful life in the countryside.

D．Unknown stories of Cambridge University.

【题目】The incident ________ a chain of events which resulted in the outbreak of World War I.

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

Long ago in a small town，there was a place known as the House of 1,000 Mirrors. A happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit.

When he arrived，he bounced(跳) happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise，he found himself staring at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as his. He smiled a great smile，and was answered with 1,000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house，he thought to himself，“This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit often.”

In this same town，another little dog，who was not quite as happy as the first one，decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1,000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him，he growled at them and was horrified to see 1,000 little dogs growling back at him.
