When a British couple recently sold their beloved house,they believed they had tied everything up,and had been busy working to make sure the new owners could live in a house which was in a good condition before the sale.Repairs had been made and the paperwork had all been in order before they removed their belongings from the home where they had lived in the last 32 years or so.
A few weeks after they finished the sale,James and Clarrisa Munford discovered a box of treasures,which the former owners had hidden and forgotten all about — 30 gold and silver coins.Legally,the coins — which were valued as much as ten thousand pounds — were now the Munfords’ property,and they were well within their rights to quietly sell them and pocket the profits.
However,the Munfords,who own a business in London,immediately chose to get in touch with the sellers and return the coins,which had been left inside a built-in drawer in the home.“There is an old saying,‘You harvest what you plant.’” said the original owner later,who didn’t believe his ears when receiving Mr Munford’s call.“My wife and I spent a great deal of time and effort to ensure that we left our home in excellent conditions for the Munfords,and our kindness was certainly returned by another!” They wanted to give the Munfords some coins but they refused politely.
The sellers of the house were unwilling to be named,but said they wanted to share this story online to bring hope and inspiration to other people during these difficult times.“Now it is a good time to pause and reflect about how we treat each other.If there were more people like the Munfords,this world would be a much better place to live in,” he said.

An allowance (零花钱) is an important tool for teaching kids how to make plans for the use of money,save and make their own decisions.Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own money is lost or spent foolishly.
How large an allowance is suitable Experts say there is no right amount.Actual amounts differ from region to region,and from family to family.
To set a suitable allowance for your child,make a weekly plan.Allow for entertainment costs such as movies and snacks.Next,include everyday expenses such as lunch money,bus fares,and school supplies.“If you make the child responsible for these bills,”says Josephine Swanson,a consumer specialist,“he or she will learn to plan for necessary costs.”
Finally,add some extra money to make savings possible.If you can,keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends.A child whose buying power falls behind his peers’ may feel left out.
It can be tough,but don’t excuse your children when they make a mistake with their allowance.When Brooke Stephens was ten and grew up in Jacksonville,her mother gave her $5 a week,$1.75 of which was for bus fares and lunch.“If you lose your money,” Brooke’s mother told her,“you walk home.”
One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store,and then she called home for a ride.“Mum made me walk home,” recalls Stephens,now a financial planner in Brooklyn.“At first I was angry.But I finally realised that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.”
Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a child’s daily housework at home.Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they should share responsibilities as family members.You might,however,pay a child for doing extra jobs at home,which can develop his or her early habits.
【语篇导读】 本文是议论文。文章讨论了给孩子零花钱的问题——零花钱是教孩子们如何做预算、储蓄和自己做决定的重要工具。
(　　)28.What does the passage mainly discuss
[A]How to develop a child’s early habits.
[B]How to save an amount of pocket money.
[C]How to teach a child to save money.
[D]How to teach a child to use money.
【答案】 D
【解析】 主旨大意题。文章第一句点明了主题,即零花钱是一项重要的工具,它可以帮助家长教孩子们如何做预算、储蓄和自己做决定。后文具体阐述了家长应该如何教孩子们花钱,故选D。
(　　)29.What does the underlined phrase “his peers” in Paragraph 4 refer to
[A]His parents.
[B]His teachers.
[C]His financial experts.
[D]His friends.
【答案】 D
【解析】 猜测短语题。根据前文“If you can,keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends.”可知,作者鼓励家长给孩子零花钱的数量应与他的朋友们相当,因此his peers 与前文中his friends指的是同一对象,故选D。
(　　)30.Why does the author mention Brooke Stephens
[A]To question the opinion about pocket money.
[B]To compare Stephens with other financial experts.
[C]To explain that parents should be strict when children are developing good habits about money.
[D]To suggest that pocket money is useless in developing a child’s sense of responsibility.
【答案】 C
【解析】 推理判断题。根据文章第五、第六段举了Brooke Stephens 因提前花光了所有的钱而被母亲要求自己走回家的例子可知,这个例子是为了说明家长在教孩子如何花钱时应严格要求,故选C。
(　　)31.What does the author imply in the last paragraph
[A]Paying children for their housework is no good.
[B]A child’s early habits can be developed if he or she is paid for all the housework.
[C]Children may feel lost and lonely if they have no pocket money.
[D]Children may learn to put aside some money if they are given a great amount of pocket money.
【答案】 A
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,专家建议不要直接以做家务能够获得报酬这一名义给孩子零花钱,孩子们做家务并不是因为他们会因此获得报酬,而是他们应承担作为家庭一员的责任。由此可知,孩子通过做家务获得报酬这一做法是没有好处的,
故选A。
D
We have to make certain our limited money is well spent.But what should we spend our money on A 20-year study conducted by Dr Gilovich,a professor at Cormell University,
reached a powerful and straightforward conclusion: don’t spend your money on things.
The trouble with things is that the happiness they provide peters out.We get used to new possessions (所有物),and what once seemed exciting quickly becomes the common.We keep raising the standards and always look for an even better one.Possessions,by their nature,cause comparisons.We buy a new car and are thrilled with it until a friend buys a better one—and there’s always someone with a better one.Most of us usually assume that the happiness we get from buying something will last as long as the thing itself.It seems that spending money on something we can see,hear,and touch on a permanent (永久的) basis delivers the best value.
But it’s not the case at all.
Gilovich has found that experiences deliver more lasting happiness than things.
Experiences become a part of our identity.Everyone’s experience is unique.We are not our possessions,but we are the accumulation (积累,积累物) of everything we’ve seen,the things we’ve done,and the places we’ve been to.“Our experiences are a bigger part of ourselves than our material goods,” said Gilovich.“You can really like your material stuff.You can even think that part of your identity is connected to those things,but they remain separate from you.In contrast,your experiences really are part of you.We are the sum total of our experiences.”
Besides,we don’t compare experiences in the same way that we compare things.It’s hard to quantify (量化) the relative value of any two experiences,which makes them much more enjoyable.And the expectation of an experience causes excitement and enjoyment,while the expectation of obtaining possessions causes impatience.Experiences are enjoyable from the very first moments of planning,all the way through to the memories you keep forever.The temporary happiness achieved by buying things can be regarded as “puddles of pleasure”.In other words,that kind of happiness evaporates (蒸发) quickly and leaves us wanting more.Things may last longer than experiences,but the memories that remain are what matter most.
【语篇导读】 本文是议论文。文章讲述了把钱花在经历上能带来更持久的快乐并阐释了背后的原因。
(　　)32.What does the underlined phrase “peters out” in Paragraph 2 mean
[A]Takes away.
[B]Dies away.
[C]Is not real.
[D]Costs too much.
【答案】 B
【解析】 猜测短语题。根据第二段中的“The trouble with things is that...becomes the common.”可知,我们会习惯新东西,曾经看似令人兴奋的东西很快也会变得平常。所以此处指快乐会逐渐减少,与B项dies away意思一致。故选B。
(　　)33.What does Gilovich think of experiences
[A]Experiences can exist in our memories forever.
[B]Our experiences take up all parts of ourselves.
[C]Our experiences are what set us apart from others.
[D]Experiences deliver less-lasting happiness than things.
【答案】 C
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,Gilovich认为我们的经历使我们与他人区分开来,因为每个人的经历都是独特的。故选C。
(　　)34.What can be inferred from the passage
[A]Spiritual wealth is the most valuable for us.
[B]Experiences can be compared with each other.
[C]Expecting an experience increases our feeling of anxiety.
[D]The expectation of obtaining possessions causes excitement and enjoyment.
【答案】 A
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Experiences become a part of...the things we’ve done,and the places we’ve been to.”以及最后一段最后一句可知,精神财富对我们来说是最有价值的。故选A。
(　　)35.Which is the main idea of the passage
[A]How can we make happiness last long
[B]How can we gain happiness with money
[C]Why do experiences achieve permanent happiness
[D]Why should we spend money on experiences instead of things
【答案】 D
【解析】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章开篇提出我们应该把钱花在什么上面的问题,接着通过研究表明物质的东西所带来的快乐会逐渐消失,后面Gilovich 发现经历比物质的东西能带来更持久的快乐并从多个方面阐述了为什么经历比物质的东西更值得花钱去获取。所以D项准确地概括了文章的主要内容。故选D。

The Grocery Store Trip
My two-year -old daughter was playing with a toy bear in a pile of groceries (食品杂货) in my shopping cart.Shopping once a month was a wonderful family time.Every time I would buy over $200 worth of groceries.
A well-dressed gentleman stood behind me with three items (商品).He looked up at his watch anxiously,and smiled at me.Obviously,he was pressed for time.I felt sorry for the man as he’d be behind me for a long time.
“Why don’t you go ahead of me ” I said pulling the cart backwards.“You only have a couple of items.” “Thank you,” he replied appreciatively,stepping ahead of me.My daughter gave him a big smile.“Hello,” she said in her sweetest voice.“Hello,” he replied,with his face lighting up with pleasure.I put his few items ahead of mine to let him check out first.
I was just waiting for checkout when I realised my husband hadn’t returned my wallet.I only had a credit card (信用卡) in my pocket.My heart dropped.The gentleman in front had paid and was picking up his groceries.
“I’ve forgotten my wallet;will you take a credit card ” I asked the cashier hopefully.“I’m sorry.We only accept cash,” the cashier replied.“It will take me an hour to run home and an hour back,” I was discouraged.All my careful planning hadn’t helped.The hour and a half of shopping left me tired and I wasn’t sure how my daughter would deal with another two hours in the car.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Hearing the conversation,the gentleman turned back to us.

Later that night I told the gentleman’s kind act to my husband.

　　One possible version:
Hearing the conversation,the gentleman turned back to us.“Don’t worry,ma’am,” he said in a comforting tone,a genuine concern reflected in his eyes .“Allow me to take care of your order;it’s quite a journey for the little girl.” Then he reached into his wallet,produced two 100-dollar bills,and handed them to the cashier. I was frozen on the spot with a mixture of surprise and appreciation.I asked him for his address and promised to send him a check that night.He just smiled at my little girl and left before I could say “thank you”.
Later that night I told the gentleman’s kind act to my husband. He was shocked that a complete stranger should trust another with a loan of that amount. “We can’t thank him enough,” he said as he held our daughter.Afterwards we shared the story online,
expressing our gratitude to him . Determined to follow in his footsteps,we are ready to lend a helping hand whenever possible. From the grocery store trip,we know well small acts of kindness can make a big difference in other people’s lives more than we can imagine.

When a British couple recently sold their beloved house,they believed they had tied everything up,and had been busy working to make sure the new owners could live in a house which was in a good condition before the sale.Repairs had been made and the paperwork had all been in order before they removed their belongings from the home where they had lived in the last 32 years or so.
A few weeks after they finished the sale,James and Clarrisa Munford discovered a box of treasures,which the former owners had hidden and forgotten all about — 30 gold and silver coins.Legally,the coins — which were valued as much as ten thousand pounds — were now the Munfords’ property,and they were well within their rights to quietly sell them and pocket the profits.
However,the Munfords,who own a business in London,immediately chose to get in touch with the sellers and return the coins,which had been left inside a built-in drawer in the home.“There is an old saying,‘You harvest what you plant.’” said the original owner later,who didn’t believe his ears when receiving Mr Munford’s call.“My wife and I spent a great deal of time and effort to ensure that we left our home in excellent conditions for the Munfords,and our kindness was certainly returned by another!” They wanted to give the Munfords some coins but they refused politely.
The sellers of the house were unwilling to be named,but said they wanted to share this story online to bring hope and inspiration to other people during these difficult times.“Now it is a good time to pause and reflect about how we treat each other.If there were more people like the Munfords,this world would be a much better place to live in,” he said.
(　　)24.What did the Munfords do when finding the treasures
[A]They went out to celebrate.
[B]They wanted to sell them quietly.
[C]They contacted the sellers of the house.
[D]They managed to report to the police.
(　　)25.How did the former owner of the house feel when Mr Munford called him
[A]He was disappointed.
[B]He was surprised.
[C]He was angry.
[D]He was nervous.
(　　)26.What did the sellers of the house do at last
[A]They left the Munfords some silver coins.
[B]They gave the Munfords fifteen gold coins.
[C]They wanted to make more people know the story.
[D]They decided to write a book about the moving story.
(　　)27.What do you think of the Munfords
[A]They are kind.
[B]They are selfish.
[C]They are dishonest.
[D]They are careless.

An allowance (零花钱) is an important tool for teaching kids how to make plans for the use of money,save and make their own decisions.Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own money is lost or spent foolishly.
How large an allowance is suitable Experts say there is no right amount.Actual amounts differ from region to region,and from family to family.
To set a suitable allowance for your child,make a weekly plan.Allow for entertainment costs such as movies and snacks.Next,include everyday expenses such as lunch money,bus fares,and school supplies.“If you make the child responsible for these bills,”says Josephine Swanson,a consumer specialist,“he or she will learn to plan for necessary costs.”
Finally,add some extra money to make savings possible.If you can,keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends.A child whose buying power falls behind his peers’ may feel left out.
It can be tough,but don’t excuse your children when they make a mistake with their allowance.When Brooke Stephens was ten and grew up in Jacksonville,her mother gave her $5 a week,$1.75 of which was for bus fares and lunch.“If you lose your money,” Brooke’s mother told her,“you walk home.”
One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store,and then she called home for a ride.“Mum made me walk home,” recalls Stephens,now a financial planner in Brooklyn.“At first I was angry.But I finally realised that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.”
Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a child’s daily housework at home.Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they should share responsibilities as family members.You might,however,pay a child for doing extra jobs at home,which can develop his or her early habits.
【语篇导读】 本文是议论文。文章讨论了给孩子零花钱的问题——零花钱是教孩子们如何做预算、储蓄和自己做决定的重要工具。
(　　)28.What does the passage mainly discuss
[A]How to develop a child’s early habits.
[B]How to save an amount of pocket money.
[C]How to teach a child to save money.
[D]How to teach a child to use money.
(　　)29.What does the underlined phrase “his peers” in Paragraph 4 refer to
[A]His parents.
[B]His teachers.
[C]His financial experts.
[D]His friends.
(　　)30.Why does the author mention Brooke Stephens
[A]To question the opinion about pocket money.
[B]To compare Stephens with other financial experts.
[C]To explain that parents should be strict when children are developing good habits about money.
[D]To suggest that pocket money is useless in developing a child’s sense of responsibility.
(　　)31.What does the author imply in the last paragraph
[A]Paying children for their housework is no good.
[B]A child’s early habits can be developed if he or she is paid for all the housework.
[C]Children may feel lost and lonely if they have no pocket money.
[D]Children may learn to put aside some money if they are given a great amount of pocket money.

We have to make certain our limited money is well spent.But what should we spend our money on A 20-year study conducted by Dr Gilovich,a professor at Cormell University,
reached a powerful and straightforward conclusion: don’t spend your money on things.
The trouble with things is that the happiness they provide peters out.We get used to new possessions (所有物),and what once seemed exciting quickly becomes the common.We keep raising the standards and always look for an even better one.Possessions,by their nature,cause comparisons.We buy a new car and are thrilled with it until a friend buys a better one—and there’s always someone with a better one.Most of us usually assume that the happiness we get from buying something will last as long as the thing itself.It seems that spending money on something we can see,hear,and touch on a permanent (永久的) basis delivers the best value.
But it’s not the case at all.
Gilovich has found that experiences deliver more lasting happiness than things.
Experiences become a part of our identity.Everyone’s experience is unique.We are not our possessions,but we are the accumulation (积累,积累物) of everything we’ve seen,the things we’ve done,and the places we’ve been to.“Our experiences are a bigger part of ourselves than our material goods,” said Gilovich.“You can really like your material stuff.You can even think that part of your identity is connected to those things,but they remain separate from you.In contrast,your experiences really are part of you.We are the sum total of our experiences.”
Besides,we don’t compare experiences in the same way that we compare things.It’s hard to quantify (量化) the relative value of any two experiences,which makes them much more enjoyable.And the expectation of an experience causes excitement and enjoyment,while the expectation of obtaining possessions causes impatience.Experiences are enjoyable from the very first moments of planning,all the way through to the memories you keep forever.The temporary happiness achieved by buying things can be regarded as “puddles of pleasure”.In other words,that kind of happiness evaporates (蒸发) quickly and leaves us wanting more.Things may last longer than experiences,but the memories that remain are what matter most.
(　　)32.What does the underlined phrase “peters out” in Paragraph 2 mean
[A]Takes away.
[B]Dies away.
[C]Is not real.
[D]Costs too much.
(　　)33.What does Gilovich think of experiences
[A]Experiences can exist in our memories forever.
[B]Our experiences take up all parts of ourselves.
[C]Our experiences are what set us apart from others.
[D]Experiences deliver less-lasting happiness than things.
(　　)34.What can be inferred from the passage
[A]Spiritual wealth is the most valuable for us.
[B]Experiences can be compared with each other.
[C]Expecting an experience increases our feeling of anxiety.
[D]The expectation of obtaining possessions causes excitement and enjoyment.
(　　)35.Which is the main idea of the passage
[A]How can we make happiness last long
[B]How can we gain happiness with money
[C]Why do experiences achieve permanent happiness
[D]Why should we spend money on experiences instead of things

The Grocery Store Trip
My two-year -old daughter was playing with a toy bear in a pile of groceries (食品杂货) in my shopping cart.Shopping once a month was a wonderful family time.Every time I would buy over $200 worth of groceries.
A well-dressed gentleman stood behind me with three items (商品).He looked up at his watch anxiously,and smiled at me.Obviously,he was pressed for time.I felt sorry for the man as he’d be behind me for a long time.
“Why don’t you go ahead of me ” I said pulling the cart backwards.“You only have a couple of items.” “Thank you,” he replied appreciatively,stepping ahead of me.My daughter gave him a big smile.“Hello,” she said in her sweetest voice.“Hello,” he replied,with his face lighting up with pleasure.I put his few items ahead of mine to let him check out first.
I was just waiting for checkout when I realised my husband hadn’t returned my wallet.I only had a credit card (信用卡) in my pocket.My heart dropped.The gentleman in front had paid and was picking up his groceries.
“I’ve forgotten my wallet;will you take a credit card ” I asked the cashier hopefully.“I’m sorry.We only accept cash,” the cashier replied.“It will take me an hour to run home and an hour back,” I was discouraged.All my careful planning hadn’t helped.The hour and a half of shopping left me tired and I wasn’t sure how my daughter would deal with another two hours in the car.

Theme Kindness,empathy and unforeseen challenges in daily life
预设问题定走向 Para.1 Hearing the conversation,the gentleman turned back to us. Q1:What did the gentleman do and say to me Q2:What was my response Q3:What was the gentleman’s kind act
Para.2 Later that night I told the gentleman’s kind act to my husband. Q1:How did my husband respond to the story Q2:What did we do after the conversation Q3:What lesson did I get from the experience
　　One possible version:
Hearing the conversation,the gentleman turned back to us.“Don’t worry,ma’am,” he said in a comforting tone,a genuine concern reflected in his eyes .“Allow me to take care of your order;it’s quite a journey for the little girl.” Then he reached into his wallet,produced two 100-dollar bills,and handed them to the cashier. I was frozen on the spot with a mixture of surprise and appreciation.I asked him for his address and promised to send him a check that night.He just smiled at my little girl and left before I could say “thank you”.
Later that night I told the gentleman’s kind act to my husband. He was shocked that a complete stranger should trust another with a loan of that amount. “We can’t thank him enough,” he said as he held our daughter.Afterwards we shared the story online,
expressing our gratitude to him . Determined to follow in his footsteps,we are ready to lend a helping hand whenever possible. From the grocery store trip,we know well small acts of kindness can make a big difference in other people’s lives more than we can imagine.
