【题目】My parents moved to Mississippi when my brother and I were small children, and we were separated from our Oklahoma grandparents by some 600 miles. This geographic distance allowed us to only visit our grandparents once a year, either at Christmas or during summer vacation.

Most of my classmates lived near their grandparents, and I would routinely hear stories of extended families(大家庭) regularly spending time with one another, fishing at "grandpa’s" house or going over to "grandma’s" for her famous fried chicken. We were disappointed that we did not get to spend more time with our grandparents, but our love for them remained deep and strong.

We always expected a road trip to Oklahoma. We would count the days, and when the day came, the entire family would pile into our car at four o’clock in the morning. Crossing the Mississippi River into Louisiana, the landscape(风景) changed. Crossing the Red River in Oklahoma, we were in a foreign world.

Every trip to see my grandparents can’t be without bringing delight. We jumped out of the car in their driveway to be met with bear hugs. My grandparents wanted to know everything about their grandchildren, and we would sit for hours and tell story after story. Grandma had a meal planned, and you could bet she fixed her grandsons’ favorite foods. Of course the best part of the visit was that we were able to do whatever we wanted without punishment from our grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa always had presents for us, neat scenic trips planned and lovely surprises, such as the time we got to go to a local restaurant and eat the world’s largest hamburger.

D.seemed not to be familiar with each other

【4】What can we infer from the author’s story?

D.Family life is filled with love and understanding.

【题目】Are you good with money?I learnt to be careful with it during my childhood. My father would give me some pocket money and tell me it should last for a whole week. So,I learnt I had to save some if I didn’t want to run out of cash quickly. No surprise there:my dad was an accountant!

It's never too early to become money savvy(会理财).That's what British personal finances expert Martin Lewis thinks. He was part of a successful campaign to include financial education on the school curriculum in England. It will be embedded(植入)in maths and citizenship education. This includes children from 5 to 16 years old.

Lewis says:“We desperately need to break the cycle of financial illiteracy(无知)in the UK—one of the causes of our current economic crisis and a huge contributor to continued mis-selling epidemics(违规销售).”

Being careful with money pays off. Banks in Britain recently found themselves having to pay a large number of people who were persuaded to spend money and buy insurance policies they didn’t need. Many wasted their money on investments which were not for them. Few have the patience to read the small print.

The British say‘take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves’.It means you have to watch your daily expenses and not just the big purchases in your life such as houses.

Martin Lewis has made millions from his website which advises people to be thrifty(节俭)and refuses any suggestion that he is mean. The expert says in an interview with the English newspaper the Daily Express:“the better you are with your cash,the better your life can be. People think I am telling them to stop spending money but I am simply telling them to spend it wisely.”

【1】From Paragraph 1 we can know that the author ___________.

A. was in deep debt

B. was good with money as a child

C. ran out of cash quickly

D. earned a lot of money

【2】The financial education in England aims to ________.

A. educate children to become money savvy

B. avoid continued mis-selling epidemics

C. help children make money

D. deal with the current economic crisis

【3】What’s the financial problem of some people in Britain?

A. They have no patience to spend money.

B. They watch their daily expenses.

C. They invest money blindly and unwisely.

D. They neglect big purchases.

【题目】根据短文内容,从下面所给的A—F选项中选出能概括每一段(1-5)主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。

A. Give more aid to weak schools.

B. Children should share the same educational rights.

C. Heavy load is supposed to be taken off the students’ shoulders.

D. Bring the industrial management of education to an end.

E. Balanced education may stop school choice.

F. Key schools and classes are unreasonable.

【1】 Education should be intended to make better citizens instead of making money. Money can be earned by starting business. It’s time to abolish(废除,消灭) the industrialized education so that all the people can benefit from real education.

2 Concrete(具体的) measures should be taken to lessen the students’ heavy burden. Not empty talks but concrete and solid policies can make sure all the students grow soundly.

3 My parents are farmer-turned workers. I think we should be treated equally with the local children. We should have equal chance to go to both the local public schools and take the national college entrance exam rather than go back to our native places.

4 School choice has become a serious educational problem. To solve this problem, we must stick to the balanced development. The government should offer more support to weak schools and have all the teachers exchange their work among all the schools.

5 The government’s unwillingness to spend enough money on education makes key schools turn to parents for money to build new buildings and increase teachers’ income, widening the gap between key schools and common schools. Therefore, in order to realize the balance of education, the government should offer more help to weak schools.
