题目内容

You have heard it said many times — the only thing constant in life is change. Change happens in every area in our lives, such as moving into a new apartment or home and changes in career or business. So we cannot avoid change in life. 1. Here are some of the benefits of change:

Change leads to opportunities. You will realize that each change in your life is actually an invitation to new opportunities. Remember every new opportunity has its own benefits.2. However, it is always advisable to consider the benefits that those new opportunities will bring. If you accept changes in your life, you will benefit from each new opportunity.

3. If you are used to doing the same thing over and over again, you may get bored, and lose the interest in your life. Change ensures that your experiences differ from day to day, month to month. Remember that the world is always in a continuous motion.4. These make life exciting.

Change means progress. If you look back to your life ten years ago, you were very different from what you are today. 5. This is called progress. And these growth experiences are the reason why you should appreciate changes in your life.

There, we should take advantage of change and make it work for us in positive ways.

A. Luckily, change is important in our lives.

B. Technologies, trends, and politics keep on changing.

C. Change is one thing that makes our lives interesting.

D. You may reject these opportunities, whenever they come.

Wealth starts with a goal and saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank plan. There are lessons in that historic coin-savings container (容器).

Any difficult task seems easier when started from baby steps. If you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip, to collect the $ 15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account, you will have your trip money.

When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We connect piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of being rich. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and wealth.

Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking, skillful workers made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay (黏土) called “pygg,” and people then saved coins in pygg jars. As “pygg” pronounced much like the Middle English word “pigge” meaning “pig”, gradually, the two words changed into the same pronunciation. Once a clever worker made a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, pleasing children and adults. The piggy bank was born.

In the past, you had to break the bank to get the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the value of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that need a large sum of money – college education, weddings, starting a business, buying a home, and fun things like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and use it wisely.

1.What is the piggy bank plan?

A. Setting a goal before making a travel plan.

B. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.

C. Having determination even when doing small things.

D. Climbing a mountain a little a day before reaching the top.

2.Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?

A. To help him develop the habit of saving.

C. To please him with the latest fashion.

A. a pig-like toy for children B. a worker’s tool

C. an animal-look dish D. a cheap clay container

4.The last paragraph talks about ______ .

3.the act of selfie can sometimes have deadly consequences. India is home to4.highest number of people who have died while taking photos of5.，with 19 of the world’s 49 recorded selfie-linked deaths since 2014.

Earlier this month, an 18-year-old college student on a class picnic 6.his balance while taking a selfie on top of a rock near a dam. He fell into the water and drowned, along with a classmate7.jumped in to save him.

Since then, the Indian government8.(declare) 16 no-selfie zones across Mumbai, warning people9.taking unnecessary risks. Police have declared “no selfie” in areas considered to be10. (danger)—particularly along the coastline in spots with no railings or fences. Anyone venturing into “no selfie” areas, even if they take no photos, will risk a fine of 1,200 rupees ($ 17.50).

Hardly can you succeed 1. doing something perfectly the first time you do it. 2., when you do something for the first time, it is time to give up the idea of perfection.

I remember the first time I 3. (drive) a car in traffic after getting my driver’s license. I was very nervous in that heavy traffic--- my driving style showed that I wasn’t a very confident driver.

Recently the students in our class have had a heated discussion on if people should keep pets at home in cities. We have two different opinions.

Some students thought it’s a good idea to keep pets because many old people who will live alone at home can get some comfort from them. Besides, get along well with animals will make our life interesting. However, other students are against the idea. In their opinions, if too many people keep pets at home, it’s harmful for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too many noise and even attack people.

As for me, I’m in favor of the former. I don’t think it’s bad for us to keep pets at home. But you must take some measures to prevent them from serious polluting our environment.
