One day，his father gave him ten dollars and asked him to buy some goldfish(金鱼).When he got to the market, he found the killifish(鳉鱼) looked like goldfish and they were much cheaper. So he bought some killifish and kept the rest of the money for himself.

The next day he said to his son，“Andrew，do you know what you bought yesterday?Are they goldfish?” Andrew didn't know what to say. His father continued，“I'm glad that you know how to save money.

Today, millions of people want to improve their English but it is difficult to find the best way. Is it better to study in England or America or to study in your own country.

The advantages(优势) of going to England seem clear. Firstly, you will be able to listen to English all the time. Another advantage is that you have to speak English if you are with other people. In France, however, it is always possible, in class, to speak French if you want to and the learning is slower.

On the other hand, there are also advantages of staying at home to study. You don’t have to make big changes to your life. It is also a lot cheaper than going to England but it is never possible to get the results of living in the UK. If you have a good teacher in France, I think you can also learn English well without going to England.

If you have enough money and time, the best choice(选择) is to spend some time in the UK. This is not possible for most people, so being here in France is the only choice. The most important thing is to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.

1.What is the article about?

A. How many people learn English. B. The best way to learn English.

C. English schools in France. D. Trying to learn English in France.

2.What is one of the advantages of going to the UK to learn English?

A. There are no Frenchmen in England. B. You have to talk to others in English.

C. The langage schools are better. D. The teaching skills are better.

3.If you don’t have a lot of money or time, you should __________.

A. learn English in England. B. go to France to learn English.

C. try to speak as much English as possible. D. ask English teachers for help.

4.The writer of the passage may come from____________.

A. France. B. England. C. China D. Italy

Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother’s Camp. There, husbands and children are not allowed. Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? Some women say they need time to be alone.

At Mother’s Camp a woman has space to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother(打扰) her. No children will ask, “Mom, what’s for dinner?” No husband（丈夫） will say, “Oh, dear, I can’t find any clean socks.” In fact, almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job---taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.

In the United States, working wives（妻子） do about 75% of the housework. Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they can’t find the pans(平底锅). They ask so many questions that their wives think it is easier to do the job themselves.

Some women go to Mother’s Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they don’t cook, they don’t clean, they don’t look after their children and husbands. What do they do? They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and sing songs around the campfire. They relax away from home. They have a really wonderful vacation at Mother’s Camp.
