After almost an entire year of not going shopping and vacationing,you find the numbers reflected by your bank account meet your heart’s desire.
Now the most important question comes,what to do with the earnings Should you fulfill dreams of the present,invest in preserving the future or perhaps keep saving it for a rainy day
Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its moral weakness.One may be on a winning streak (连续成功) now,but it will not always be so.One will have days when there will be no sunshine but only rain,and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds.Save for those rainy days,they say.Do not spend too much,live within a budget,refrain from credit no matter how small and save for the future.
Since the very first time we earn our own money whether from a summer job or our first salary,the lessons start.In fact,the pocket money that we receive when we are children begins the process of learning how to best manage our own money.
People often think like this—one day when I have enough money,I will travel the world.Then,once we do earn enough money,tomorrow’s plans start shadowing our present ones.However,is it wise to keep living for that future Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in our 50s How will we ever enjoy our present if we are constantly living for the future
Good questions,aren’t they I say travel but don’t drain your savings,treat yourself to some luxuries but also keep enough for your necessities,and enjoy your present but with a plan for the foreseeable future.Life is for the living,so live it sensibly.

[A]Select from. [B]Hold back.
[C]Rely on. [D]Prefer to.

【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。文章讲述了云南省的叶女士和村里的其他妇女一起种咖啡,尽管遭遇种种困难,但她们没有放弃,最终探索出了生产高品质咖啡的方法,并以比进口咖啡更高的价格出售的事情。
1.【答案】 but
【解析】 考查连词。句中not后的give up与空后的face the challenges head-on之间构成转折,再结合句意和句子结构可知,此处使用了固定搭配not...but...,意为“不是……而是……”。故填but。
2.【答案】 were presented
【解析】 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,grown by Ye为过去分词短语作定语修饰句子主语the coffee beans,设空处为句子谓语。根据句中In May 2021可知,此处应用一般过去时。句子主语 the coffee beans与present之间为被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语为复数形式。故填were presented。
3.【答案】 causing
【解析】 考查非谓语动词。主句的谓语为had known,设空处在句中作状语,应用非谓语动词。结合句意可知,此处表示自然而然的结果,应用现在分词作结果状语。故填causing。
4.【答案】 what
【解析】 考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导宾语从句,作asked的宾语。结合句意可知,设空处在该从句中作do的宾语,意为“什么”。故填what。
5.【答案】 to sell
【解析】 考查动词不定式。 fail to do sth为固定搭配,意为“未能做成某事”。故填to sell。
6.【答案】 ambitious
【解析】 考查形容词。设空处修饰空后的名词woman,应用形容词作定语;结合句意可知,设空处表示“有野心的;有雄心的”。故填ambitious。
7.【答案】 surprisingly
【解析】 考查副词。设空处修饰and后的分句,应用副词作状语,表示“令人惊讶的是”。故填surprisingly。
8.【答案】 competition
【解析】 考查名词。根据空前的in a coffee可知,设空处应用名词作介词in的宾语。由语境可知,设空处表示“比赛”,应用名词 competition;又因设空处在不定冠词a后,应用名词单数形式。故填competition。
9.【答案】 of
【解析】 考查介词。 此处为介词短语 of high quality,意为“高质量的”,作名词coffee的后置定语。故填of。
10.【答案】 imported
【解析】 考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知,设空处作定语修饰名词coffee,表示“进口的”,coffee与import之间为被动关系,应用过去分词形式。故填imported。Unit 4　课时作业(三)

　　Recycling is beneficial for the environment.It can also benefit a community in surprising ways.Mateo Lange knows this well.At weekends,he can be found sorting through glass and plastic bottles and aluminum cans in his hometown of Indian River,Michigan,where he leads a community recycling programme.
Mateo launched the programme in 2020 when he was just 11 and in the sixth grade,playing baseball with the Northern Michigan Cyclones,a new team that needed funds for travelling to tournaments.Mateo came up with a plan to deal with this need.
“There were cans and bottles always thrown around the road,” he recalled.In Michigan,these can be collected and exchanged for cash.With his dad’s help,Mateo raised $7,500.“We collected so much money in just a few weeks,” he says.“So I thought,why not keep this going as long as we can ”
Since then,Mateo says,his recycling effort has raised $350,000 and helped at least 50 local youth groups.It has also prevented more than 2 million bottles and cans from littering the roadside and polluting Michigan’s lakes and rivers.
In 2023,Mateo was awarded the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes.“It feels humbling,” Mateo says,when asked about all he’s accomplished with his clean-up effort.“I am happy to know that all these teams and clubs and kids around the community are benefiting.”
Mateo believes everyone can and should be of service.“Just do a little bit to help make the world a better place,” he says.“Be creative,” he adds.“Have an idea and build on it.”

　　Time is actually money if you know what to do with it.But too often,putting money ahead of time takes away our happiness.Still,many people are more than willing to make more money at the cost of quality time.For them,money is the final goal.
However,if the aim of making money is to find happiness,it’s important to put money in the right things.Many studies show that how you spend your money is as important for happiness as how much money you make.
There is nothing wrong with spending time making money.But when you work hard every single day and make good money,be certain it’s well spent on what will make you happy.If you are in search of happiness,it pays to put your money in valuable,meaningful experiences—like enjoying special meals,gaining skills,taking a class in a hobby you love and going on a hike or an adventure when it’s safe.
For example,if you find it hard to find time for experiences because of your schedule,especially for those of us who have lots of responsibilities on hand,pay some money for time-saving services that can free up some of your time for the experiences you need to enjoy your life.Experiences never disappear but the material things that you buy often do.Learning experiences in life can also help you find satisfaction.Learn to draw,sing,or join a swimming class,through which you not only get fun and skills but also gain valuable experiences.Remember: happy people buy more experiences and fewer material things.
All in all,buying things brings the kind of happiness that,however,disappears quickly and leaves us wanting more.The memories that stay are what matter most.Therefore,just put your money in experiences that add colour,meaning and happiness to your life.

　　Recycling is beneficial for the environment.It can also benefit a community in surprising ways.Mateo Lange knows this well.At weekends,he can be found sorting through glass and plastic bottles and aluminum cans in his hometown of Indian River,Michigan,where he leads a community recycling programme.
Mateo launched the programme in 2020 when he was just 11 and in the sixth grade,playing baseball with the Northern Michigan Cyclones,a new team that needed funds for travelling to tournaments.Mateo came up with a plan to deal with this need.
“There were cans and bottles always thrown around the road,” he recalled.In Michigan,these can be collected and exchanged for cash.With his dad’s help,Mateo raised $7,500.“We collected so much money in just a few weeks,” he says.“So I thought,why not keep this going as long as we can ”
Since then,Mateo says,his recycling effort has raised $350,000 and helped at least 50 local youth groups.It has also prevented more than 2 million bottles and cans from littering the roadside and polluting Michigan’s lakes and rivers.
In 2023,Mateo was awarded the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes.“It feels humbling,” Mateo says,when asked about all he’s accomplished with his clean-up effort.“I am happy to know that all these teams and clubs and kids around the community are benefiting.”
Mateo believes everyone can and should be of service.“Just do a little bit to help make the world a better place,” he says.“Be creative,” he adds.“Have an idea and build on it.”
