    Do you have your own ideas about spending money? If no, now it's a great time to learn how to spend it. Follow the steps below when you are considering, buying something you want.

    Step 1  How much do you really want it?

    Seeing a $25 gum ball (口香糖球) machine, Ben wanted it at first. But after thinking about it, he decided it would be exciting only for a day or two. "... Besides, it's impossible for me to chew (嚼) much gum." he thought for a long time and then went away.[

    Step 2  Do you still want it a week later?

    If you really want the thing very much, try to wait for some time to see how strong the desire (欲望) is. This way works for grown-ups, too!

    Step 3  How will you pay for it?

    After the first two steps, Ben found he really wanted a toy pirate ship, but it cost $50. He had $22 in his pocket and got $1.50 a week from his parents. It would take Ben 19 weeks to save enough money to get the ship.

    Step 4  Are there ways to make the money?

    Ben agreed to wash the downstairs windows at $2 each. So he got $10 for himself.

    Step 5  Can you get it cheaper?

    After deciding to buy it, it's necessary for you to look for less expensive ways to buy it: search for what you want on the Internet, in shops and flea (跳蚤) markets. Sometimes you can find the same thing at much lower price.

    If these suggestions work well, they can save you a lot of money. You will be a real smart shopper.

66. What did Ben do about the gum ball machine?

   A. He bought it at once.      B. He gave it up right away.     C. He gave it up finally.

67. How many downstairs windows would Ben wash if he wanted to get $12?

    A. Five.                 B. Six.                      C. Ten.

    Because ________.

    A. they may find wonderful ones               B. they just do it for fun

阅读短文,根据意思,从各题所给的A、B和C三个选项中选出最佳答案。
One midnight(午夜), a little girl woke up (醒来)to pass water. She by herself got up and down her bed, walked to the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that she feared(害怕).
Her mother said, “Don’t be afraid, honey. Take courage(勇敢些)!”
“What’s courage(勇气)?” she asked, running to her mother’s bed.
“Courage is the brave(勇敢的) breath(呼吸),” her mother answered.
“Mum, do you have courage?”
“Certainly.”
The girl held out(伸出) her little hands, saying, “Mum, blow(吹) some of your breath of courage to me.”
After her mother blew out two mouthfuls(口) of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her fists(握拳) nervously(紧张地), afraid that the “breath of courage” would run away(跑掉). Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.
Her mother said to herself, “It will be nice if someone can blow some kinds of ‘breath’ to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel terrified or lost.”
In fact, mostly, what we are terrified of is nothing but the fear in our mind(心). Who we should defeat(战胜) is nobody but ourselves.
