摘要:Patience The story is about an unforgettable lesson of the writer from an old man while fishing, through which the writer realized patience was very important and that it was the secret of success. I have a similar experience. Once I waited for the bus at the stop for 30 minutes, no bus came. I couldn’t wait any longer and decided to walk to school. But no sooner had I left than the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I wanted to take the next bus, I would have to wait for another 30 minutes. Only then did I realize the importance of patience. Being impatient will waste all the efforts that we have made. Patience also plays an important part in our study and life. With it we can achieve greater. Now, whenever I am to lose my patience, I’ll think of the experience of waiting for a bus. 辅导9

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping   36   he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in   37 . He knows what he wants, and his goal is to find it and 38 it. All men  39  walk into a shop and ask the shop assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock(库存), the deal can be done and    40   is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat to everyone’s   41   .

For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop doesn’t have what he wants. In that  42   , the salesman tries to sell something else—he    43  the nearest to the article required. A good salesman brings out such a substitute(替代品)   44   , and he may say, “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It   45   to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have   46    with this treatment, and the usual response is “This is the right color and may be the right size, but I shouldn’t be   47   my time and yours by trying it on.”

For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the   48   way. Her shopping is not often   49   on need. She has never fully decided what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always  50  to persuasion, willing to try on any number of things. Deep in her mind is the thought of finding something that   51    thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look-out for the unexpected  52  . Faced with a roomful dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another      53  selecting the dress she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently a(n)   54    one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting    55   .

Nelson Mandela

  Nelson Mandela is one of the great political leaders of our time.His lifelong efforts to the fight against racial(种族)oppression(压迫)in his country won him the admiration(钦慕)of millions worldwide, as well as the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize.As the leader of South Africa’s anti-partheid(反种族隔离)movement, Mandela was a key player in helping to move his country toward multiracial government(多民族政府)and majority rule.

  Mandela’s long, hard struggle is a victory of dignity(尊严)and hope.He’s a man of true courage.If determination and patience were considered talents, Mandela would win hands down in any sort of competition.

  accomplishments(成就)& fame(名誉)

  Nelson Mandela’s greatest accomplishments were his role in ending apartheid, and becoming South Africa’s first elected black president.He has been the recipient(收件人)of dozens upon dozens of awards, prizes and honors from countless associations and organizations, but perhaps none more prestigious(声望很高)than the Nobel Peace Prize, which he shared with former South African President Frederik W.de Klerk, in 1993.

  He has been awarded several other major peace prizes, such as the UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)Peace Prize in 1991(also shared with F.W.de Klerk); the Africa Peace Award in 1995 and the International Gandhi Peace Prize in 2002.

  Mr.Mandela also received dozens of honorary degrees(名誉学位)from universities the world over, including the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge, Glasgow, London, Nottingham, and Oxford, as well as an Honorary Doctorate from the Sorbonne University in Paris(all in July 1996), and Harvard Business School’s Statesman of the Year Award in 1995-to name but a few.He has also been presented(赠送)with the key to cities such as Rome, Rio de Janeiro, London, Dublin, and Sydney, Australia(where he became the first person ever to receive the Freedom of that city).In July of 2002, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States highest civilian(公民)award.

  Model

  There’s something admirable about having been a leader fighting for a people’s freedom and equality in an unjust society.Mandela has become a worldwide symbol(楷模)of the struggle of the oppressed(被压迫者)over the oppressor.He has been celebrated in song by artists the world over, in many different languages.One entitled “Nelson Mandela”was recorded by British 2-Tone group The Special A.K.A(formerly The Specials); making the top 10 in the UK and a few other European nations in 1984.

  Personal style

  As a president, Mandela sported the typical garb(服饰)of high-ranking government officials: expensive, well-tailored(缝制精致的)suits.Now retired(退役)from public life, Mandela the elder statesman dresses in an ordinary way.

  He attends many activities, often where he is the guest of honor, in bright, colorfully patterned(典型的)traditional African robes(长袍)or shirts all the better for getting down when the music begins.

(1)

Mandel was not only admired(钦慕)for his long fight against ________but also for ________.

(2)

How many peaceful prize has Mandela got?He has got________ in 1991, ________in 1995 and ________ in 2002.

EAT YOUR VEGETABLES. Wash your hands. Always say "please" and "thank you ".We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:

Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000,invest(投资)it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she's 65,she would have $980,983!zxxk

Be careful of credit(信用).Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.

Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150.Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside,say,$15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.

Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. "For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot, "says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.

Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined(缠结在一起), says  Eilleen  Gallo, co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don't want to buy it. "You might say, 'I'd rather save that money for your education,'" advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don't spend money, you have a chance to share your values.

1.The writer gives some basics to help ____ in a proper way.

A.parents teach their children how to deal with money

B.children follow their parents 'instructions

C.children manage their money

D.parents save their money

2.The underlined word "incentive" in paragraph 6 means ____.

A.honor            B.praise            C.excitement        D.encouragement

3.What leads the writer to write this article?

A. Parents want to know how to educate their children.

B. He wants to share his good ideas about money matters.

C .He thinks money management the most important for children.

D. Parents care  little  about their children's management of money.
