A
When it comes to personal finance,our habits can really make or break us.When we’re able to adopt positive financial habits,the benefits are endless:a better credit score,less financial stress,a bigger savings account balance...Unfortunately,many of us have also taken on financial habits that could actually end up hurting us.Here are three financial habits you might want to consider breaking.
Spendingmorethanyouwanttoearnrewardspoints
Provided they’re used responsibly,rewards credit cards can be a good thing.However,if you find yourself using a credit card just so you can get more points,you might be in for a world of trouble.One way you can break this bad habit is to only use your rewards card for regular,monthly expenses.Let’s say you decide to leave your card at home and only use it to make payments on your phone bill,which you then pay back in full every month.
Ignoringyourbills
Coming home to a big pile of bills is a drag,there’s no doubt about it.But tossing them onto the coffee table and ignoring them for weeks on end can have terrible consequences for your financial well-being.Whenever you find yourself faced with a bill,do with it immediately.While it might be a bit of a struggle at first,over time you can get the rewards of having less financial stress.
Cyclingyourdebtwithoutfixingtherealproblem
While having a lower interest rate can help solve short-term problems for you,if you do it all the time you could be avoiding the possible problem.In fact,it might even be keeping you from coming to terms with the behaviours that are forcing you into a state of debt.Building a budget could help you uncover ways to cut back and save.
For most of us,changing our behaviour isn’t as simple as turning off a switch,so it may take a lot of time and effort.Starting is the hardest part but,I can assure you,it gets easier with time.
1.You will get into trouble by using credit cards if you want to 　　　. 
A.use them to pay your phone bill
B.put your credit cards at home
C.pay back in full every month
D.earn more rewards points
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“However,ifyoufindyourselfusingacreditcardjustsoyoucangetmorepoints,youmightbeinforaworldoftrouble.”可知,如果在用信用卡的时候总是想着赚积分,就会有麻烦。故选D项。
2.What does the author think of changing our behaviour?
A.Impossible. B.Simple.
C.Difficult. D.Unbelievable.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Formostofus,changingourbehaviourisn’tassimpleasturningoffaswitch”可知,改变我们的行为习惯不是一件容易的事情。故选C项。
3.What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.How to manage your money properly.
B.How to develop good financial habits.
C.How to get rid of bad financial habits.
D.How to pay off your bills.
答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。根据文章第一段最后一句“Herearethreefinancialhabitsyoumightwanttoconsiderbreaking.”可知作者在给出如何去掉不良的花钱习惯。故选C项。
B
Do you always agree to do things that you are unwilling to do?Are you the type of person who always says “yes”?I’ve come to learn that it is very important to learn to say NO!It’s okay.People are still going to like you.They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.
I’m not saying to say “no” to someone who really needs your help.I’m talking about refusing that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don’t want to be a guest at.
Think for a moment how you feel when you say YES to something that you really don’t want to do.If you’re like I once was,you can’t sleep at night and you think about it too much.It weighs on your mind.You try to find ways out.Whatever you’re saying to yourself,if you really wanted to go,you wouldn’t have all of these thoughts.
So,why not just say NO from the beginning?Maybe you feel like if you don’t show up at the meeting (by the way,it is not the one you must attend) your boss isn’t going to like you or your co-workers won’t respect you.Maybe you feel as if your mum,dad or sisters won’t love you as much if you don’t do everything for them that they ask every occasion.
If these people are your true friends,family members,or a good boss,they will like or love you just the same.People treat you the way you teach them to,and if you’re someone who always says “yes”,then that’s what they’re expecting.
You need to do what is right for you.Of course we do have real obligations in life to fulfill,but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.
4.Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?
A.We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.
B.We should help others in need.
C.Always saying “no” means you are brave.
D.Always saying “yes” means you are dishonest.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I’mnotsayingtosay ‘no’ tosomeonewhoreallyneedsyourhelp.(我不是说对一个真正需要你帮助的人说‘不’。)”,由此推知我们应该帮助有需要的人。故选B项。
5.What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Saying “yes”.
B.A friend’s birthday party.
C.Something you’re unwilling to do.
D.Something you think difficult to do.
答案:C
解析:代词指代题。根据上文“ThinkforamomenthowyoufeelwhenyousayYEStosomethingthatyoureallydon’twanttodo.”可知,It指的是你不愿意做的一些事情。故选C项。
6.The writer believes that if you say “no” to your family members,you’ll 　　　. 
A.upset them
B.disappoint them
C.have a loose relationship with them
D.have the same relationship with them as before
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Ifthesepeopleareyourtruefriends,familymembers,oragoodboss,theywilllikeorloveyoujustthesame.”可知,作者认为,如果你对你的家人说“不”,你与他们还会像以前的关系一样。故选D项。
7.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Learn to make a right choice
B.To be yourself
C.Learn to say no
D.Do what you want to do
答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。第一段中的“I’vecometolearnthatitisveryimportanttolearntosayNO!”是全文的主题句,结合全文内容可知,这篇文章主要讲了当你不愿意做某事时,要勇敢地说“不”,你真正的朋友、家人和老板会像以前一样喜欢你。所以这篇文章最好的题目是“学会说不”。故选C项。
C
In 2009 a group of parents in Lymington started sharing worries about their children’s money-management skills.Pocket money was now stored in a building society rather than a piggy bank(存钱罐);household shopping was done online;the children rarely saw their parents handling cash.They were spending online,too.Money had become intangible.How,then,were children to learn its value? 
The answer they came up with was an app now available in America as well as Britain.It is designed to help young people learn good spending habits through real-world money activities.Parents sign up with their own bank accounts and pay a monthly fee of ￡2.99 or $3.99 for each child aged six or over.Adults and children download separate versions.Parents can schedule pocket money and set chores.When those are marked as done,the child is paid the agreed amount.Parents can see what the child has bought and where.And they can choose where the card can be used:in shops,online or at ATMs.
Children get cards printed with their name.They can put money in savings pots,view their spending and balances,and set savings targets.“They could decide to save ten dollars for a friend’s birthday in four weeks’ time,or set a goal at 12 to have $2,000 to buy a car at age 18,” says Dean Brauer,one of the founders.“The app tells them how much to save each week to meet their goal.”
A big benefit of such apps is that they inspire family conversations about money.According to the latest research,more than half of British parents find the subject hard to discuss with their children.And yet most agree that children’s attitudes to money are formed in their early years.
Some customers of this app are wealthy parents who worry that their children will grow up with little knowledge of money.Others have slim incomes but regard the app as a preparation for their child’s future.Some say that they have been in debt and want their children to avoid that mistake when they grow up;others say that the app is cost-effective because their children learn to plan spending.Even though young people no longer touch and hold money,they can still be taught to handle it well.
8.What does the underlined sentence suggest?
A.Money no longer existed physically.
B.Money was spent by children.
C.Money took on a fashionable look.
D.Money became less valuable.
答案:A
解析:句意理解题。根据第一段中的“Pocketmoneywasnowstored...Theywerespendingonline,too.”可知,第一段介绍了种种有关金钱花费的方式,如今的钱已不再以现金形式存在,而是以无形的方式存在。故选A项。
9.What is the purpose of the app?
A.To update people’s idea of money.
B.To educate kids on money management.
C.To promote parent-kid relationship.
D.To build up wealth in American families.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Itisdesignedtohelp...real-worldmoneyactivities.”可知,他们设计这个应用程序的目的是教育孩子理财。故选B项。
10.How do parents or children benefit from the app?
A.Parents monitor children’s using of money.
B.Children have freedom to earn extra money.
C.Parents lend much money to children in relief.
D.Children turn to saving instead of spending.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Parentscansee...onlineoratATMs.”可知,父母可以看到孩子买了什么,在哪里买的。他们还可以选择卡的使用地点:商店、网上或自动取款机。故选A项。
11.What is the best reason for the popularity of the app among parents?
A.It brings to the table the topic of money.
B.It trains kids to deal with money wisely.
C.It ensures a successful future for children.
D.It makes it possible for kids to get wealthy.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段第三句“Somesaythattheyhavebeenindebt...tohandleitwell.”可知,这个应用程序在父母中受欢迎的最好原因是:它训练孩子们明智地处理金钱。故选B项。
D
Saving money for the future is one of the great passions of wealthy people.The rich are getting richer because of the way they spend their money.
They are successful at controlling their expenses in order to grow their wealth.One example is Warren Buffett,one of the world’s wealthiest people.He always practices spending money wisely.He is not fond of buying expensive things.He knows the benefits of saving money.
John Poole said,“You must learn to save first and spend afterwards.”If you want to achieve your financial goal,the most important step is to save first.You can’t grow your wealth or money if you don’t start saving first.Did you know that Mark Zuckerberg,one of the youngest billionaires and co-founders of Meta,is a great saver?During his wedding,the reception was held in his backyard in Palo Alto,California rather than in a fancy five-star hotel.During the couple’s honeymoon in Italy many people saw them eating in McDonald’s.This guy is still wearing ordinary T-shirts to work every day.I understand why he practices saving.Saving money is important to him to grow his wealth and grow it quickly.He uses extra money to put into other businesses.
Saving money for the future gives you protection for unexpected situations.You don’t know what will happen to you over the next days or weeks.And living within your means can give you plenty of room to save.You can use your savings to pay off your loan early.Also,people who are fond of saving money for the future can retire early. 
Saving money for the future is significant.Today will not be the same as tomorrow.You don’t know when the rainy season will come.Every day is full of surprises,and to be ready for uncertainties,save now for your future.
12.What does the example of Warren Buffett explain?
A.The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
B.Saving money can bring us a lot of benefits.
C.Buying expensive things is not a good habit.
D.Controlling our expenses helps to increase our wealth.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知,沃伦·巴菲特的例子说明了控制我们的开支有助于增加我们的财富。故选D项。
13.Why did Mark Zuckerberg hold his wedding in his backyard?
A.He was practicing the skill of saving money.
B.He was not a generous man although he was rich.
C.He wanted to use extra money to expand his business.
D.He had to save money for his honeymoon with his wife.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中对MarkZuckerberg的描述,尤其是最后一句“Heusesextramoneytoputintootherbusinesses.”可知,他在自家后院举行婚礼是因为他想用额外的钱来扩大他的生意。故选C项。
14.What does the underlined part in the fourth paragraph probably mean?
A.Spending according to your habit.
B.Spending less than you can afford.
C.Saving money for tomorrow’s uncertainties.
D.Saving money for living better in the future.
答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线部分后的内容可知,livingwithinyourmeans可以让你有足够的空间存钱,可以用储蓄提前还清贷款,而且,可以使喜欢为未来存钱的人提前退休。由此可推断,画线部分意为“量入为出”。故选B项。
15.Which benefit of saving money is not mentioned in the passage?
A.It leads you to live a high-quality life.
B.It helps you achieve a debt-free life early.
C.It allows you to quit the stressful work early.
D.It makes you feel safe when an emergency happens.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段第一句以及最后两句可知,存钱的好处有:当紧急情况发生时,它会让你有安全感;能帮助你早日实现无债人生;能让你提早退出有压力的工作。A项“它会让你过上高质量的生活”文章没有提到。故选A项。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many people wonder what they can do to become well-rounded and competitive while increasing their rate of success.An often overlooked yet simple way to improve is to increase your knowledge by being a self-starter.
　16　 Rid yourself of assumptions and convictions so that you can be open and receptive to new information.This at times may even contradict what you have always believed to be true.You will eventually come across information that challenges your worldview.Rather than remaining resting in your comfort zone,use this time to stop,reflect and shed light on these ideas in a way that can develop and expand your vision. 
After the mind has been ready,the next step is application.Create a to-learn list just as you would a to-do list.Learning information you can utilise in your daily life is very important to having a continuous desire to further advance your education.　17　 Reading a book on automobile repair isn’t the same as physically changing the oil or tire on your car.Reading about art isn’t the same as picking up a brush.If your knowledge can be directly applied in a functional and fun fashion,put it into practice!　18　 
Surround yourself with like-minded individuals and try to always take something valuable away from your daily interactions.Many people are professionals in their field and have valuable information and insight to share.　19　 Never be too prideful,for each question you don’t ask is a missed opportunity! 
Go ahead and challenge yourself today.Commit to expanding your mind,continuing your education and becoming a student of life.　20　 Remember to cultivate your mind so it is prepared to expand,blossom and grow.And share your fountain of knowledge. 
A.Be willing to expand your mind.
B.Get ready to seek new information.
C.Many people learn by being hands-on.
D.Learning on the go has actually never been easier!
E.If you come across anything that bewilders you,ask them!
F.Skill-based learning,for example,is useless if it isn’t applied.
G.Utilise the world as your classroom,and always come away with a lesson.

MySummerTrip
On the third day of summer holiday,July 10th,I flew to Shenzhen with my parents to have a relaxing summer trip.Located in the south of our country,Shenzhen is a beautiful coastal city.
During the 7-day holiday,I enjoyed having a walk along the beach after supper or having a swim in the afternoon.The sky is blue,the air is fresh.Wherever you go,you can always see the green trees,the neat grasses and the colourful flowers.They were really wonderful.
Forgetting all the burdens in my mind at school,I felt really relaxed and refreshed.Travelling not only broadens my horizons but also opens my eyes to the world.

ASpecialAppointment
Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital’s emergency department.No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve,so the shift(轮班) went to me.I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital.It was a thankless job.
At 9 p.m.,the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack.His face was pale,and he was frightened.The whole night I did my best to save his life.Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family,I stopped by to see how he was doing.It was still tough,but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again.At 9 p.m.sharp,the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me.When I approached them,the man introduced himself as Mr Lee and said,“You probably don’t remember me,but last Christmas Eve you saved my life.Thank you for the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me,handed me a small gift,and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group,but I wanted to see if Mr and Mrs Lee would return.This time,I volunteered for the shift.I kept an eye on the door.Once again,at exactly 9 p.m.,the Lees appeared,carrying a warmly wrapped bundle.It was their new grandchild.
Mr Lee,his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together.In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with them in the break room,where we spent a half-hour each Christmas Eve.
