3．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 5to 16years 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 misselling 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．"

20．第一节：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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．
Dear Mr．Plant，
I am an enthusiastic camper and longtime X-Ports customer，but after being offended（冒犯）for the third time at your Sierra Vista location，I am writing to complain about your impolite employees．
Several months ago，I bought a tent that leaked（漏）the first time I used it and wanted it replaced．When I took it back，your employees accused me of tearing it myself．I left not only withm1，torn tent，but no refund（退款） and no satisfaction．
A  couple of weeks ago，I bought a sleeping bag that was supposed to sleep two people comfort-ably．It didn't．Your employees refused to give me my money back even though I had the receipt．I was asked to leave the store，again with no satisfaction．
To my misfortune，my latest purchase（购买），of a piece of camping equipment at your store proyed to be another disappointment．The propane  （丙烷） camp stove I bought didn't work properly．When I returned to exchange it，the rude clerk refused to help me because I did not have my sales receipt．It was an even exchange!He said that I was a problem and even asked if I had seen what products I-could purchase at one of your competitor's stores at comparable prices．Was he accusing me of something？Why would I have brought a receipt for an even exchange？Why  would I know the price at other stores？
Furthermore，the clerk called security and forced me to leave your store-without my camp stove!How can I go camping now？The tent leaks，the sleeping bag is just wrong，and I don't have a stove to keep warm!Who is going to refund my money for my stove？Who is going to help me get over the abuse I suffered in your store？
You，as the area manager must clear these matters up for me immediately!I am sending copies of this letter to your main office and the Sierra Vista Store．
Sincerely，

19．As a boy，Sanders was much influenced（影响） by books about the sea，but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor．His father was a doctor．So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them．When he was fourteen，he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles，but was actually trying to listen to the doctors'conversations with patients in the next room．
During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon（外科医生）．"That was the happiest time of my life．I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job．"In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine．He saw himself as a life-saver．He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply，and were dependent upon him．Thus，while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them．
After the war，he married and set up a practice deep in the English countryside，working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood．This gave the younger man plenty of opportunity（机会） to go on working as a life-saver．

18．The Hunan Satellite TV（HNTV） show"Where are we going，Dad？"is a big hit．Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone，and they had to spend 72hours with their children there．The program fully showed us a modern version of the"how to be a good father"．As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children，this new form of"Lost on the way"played by nanny Daddy and cute kids caused a lot of people's emotional resonance（共鸣）．Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer．But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children．
The TV shows like"Children are hard to support!"，"Where are we going，Dad？"，"hot mom"and"cute kids"are becoming more and more popular．All of these show the new parents'confusion in children's education and the appeal for the balance between career and family．
In real life，on the one hand the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life； on the other hand they continue to do so．The data collected by HNTV shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female，among whom 36% are aged from 25to 34．We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children，while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing，or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom．The story of a child without the company of father is still going on．In fact，it is sometimes the same to mothers．In a modern family，it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child．The participation of mother in the children's education is also very low．
It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education，and where the parents will guide their children to go that"Where are we going，Dad？"shows us．If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit，it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher．Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot．The truth is that children will go where their parents go； and society will go where the children go．

67．What attitude towards modern family education does the author express in the second passage？A
A．worried B．favorable C．optimistic D．proud
68．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？B
A.36% of the audience of the program are male aged from 25-34．
B．Parents shouldn't entirely leave the education of children to the old．
C．In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child．

A．play computer games with their children
B．balance well between family and career
C．keep their children at home to avoid socializing
D．break down the barrier between children and teachers
70．Which one is the best title of the passage？C

B．Modern Education is Important

17．For my brother and I，mowing（割草） yards during the summer is a good way to earn pocket change．Dad was our salesman．He traded our service to neighbors at a low price they could not refuse．My brother and I got 10peryard．However，Ilaterfoundoutourcompetitorswerecharging 20or more for the same amount of work．
One afternoon we were cutting our neighbor's yard．When I was finishing up，I was tired and sweaty．I pictured the tall glass of icy drink I would have to cool down soon．I was just about to cut off the lawn mower when I saw Dad pointing to one piece．I thought about the poor change I was getting paid for cutting grass so high that it almost broke the mower．I ignored him and kept walking．Dad called me out，"You missed a piece．"
I frowned （皱眉），hoping he would let me slide and go home．He kept pointing．So angry，I went back to cut that piece of grass．I said to myself，"That one piece isn't hurting anyone．Why won't he just let it go？"
But when I became an adult，I understood his message：When you are running a business，the work you do says a great deal about you．If you want to be seen as a businessman with honesty，you must deliver a quality product．That single piece of grass meant the job was not done．
Other neighbors took notice of the good work we did and we soon got more business．We started out with one client（客户），but by the end of the summer we had five．
The lesson my dad taught me stayed with me：If you say you are going to perform a job at a certain time，keep your word．Give your customers the kind of service you would like to receive．It shows how sincere you are and how much pride you take in your work．

16．It was the afternoon of December 24，the day before Christmas；and as the newest doctor in our office，I had to work．The only thingt brightened my tha day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating-a dozen long-stemmed red roses．
As I was cleaning my office，I was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me．As I stepped out，I noticed a young，tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms．Nervously，she explained that her husband-a prisoner in a nearby prison-was my next patient．She told me she wasn't allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son．Her request was for me to let the boy's father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment．Since my schedule wasn't full，I agreed．After all，it was Christmas Eve．
A short time later，her husband arrived-with chains on his feet and hands，and two armed guards as bodyguards．The woman's tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her．I kept glancing out to watch them laugh，cry and share their child．After almost an hour，I called the prisoner back to my office．The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man．I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions．I tried to make him as comfortable as possible．
At the end of the appointment，I wished him a Merry Christmas-a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison．He smiled and thanked me．He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadn't been able to get his wife anything for Christmas．On hearing this，I was inspired with a wonderful idea．
I'll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful，long-stemmed roses．I'm not sure who experienced the most joy-the husband in giving，the wife in receiving，or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment．

The criminal said：one day，my mother brought some apples and asked my brother and me："Which do you want？""The reddest and biggest one，"my little brother said．My mother stared at him and said to him angrily："You should learn to give the good things to others； you shouldn't always think of yourself．"Seeing this，I suddenly changed my idea and then said to my mother："Mum，please give me the smaller one and give the bigger one to my little brother．"Hearing my words，my mother was very happy．She kissed me on my face and gave the reddest and biggest apple to me as a prize．From then on，I learned to tell lies，fight，steal and rob．In order to get what I wanted，I played hard．As a result，I was sent into prison．
The famous man from the White House said：One day，my mother brought some apples．She said to my brother and me："You all want the reddest and biggest one，right？Well，let's have a competition．Now I divide the grassland in front of the gate into two and I will give one to each of you and you must shear（修剪） it well．And I will give the reddest and biggest apple to him who does it the most quickly and best．"
