  •      Two of the greatest teachers in my life are my children.  My lovely daughter offered
    a lesson today on the way home from school.  We have two dogs.  Both of our dogs are
    always eager to escape at any given opportunity  I have to keep them chained and ruy
    yard is fenced, so that I do not have to pay any fines for recovering them from the city
    pound (狗收留所).
        This morning I made the silly mistake of waiting until the last possible minute to
    put the dogs out.  As I was walking the first one out, the second rushed past rne
    surprisingly and she was gone.
        I called for her to return, but my efforts were in vain.   I decided not to bail (保释)
    her out if the puppy pound put her away.
        Anyway, when I picked my daughter up from school I just happened to mention
    that Cady might be rnissing or if she has been caught by the K9 cops (警察),I will not
    be paying her fines this time."
        "Why not?" my daughter demanded. "Is it just the money?"
        "Well, partially it's the money.  But mostly it is because I am angry with her, I
    insisted.  I noticed that my daughter had her head turned away from me and had not said
    a single word for over 5 minutes.  So, I asked," Are you mad at me?"
        "Yes, I am.,, She replied, looking at me with tears streaming down her face.
        I could not imagine that the thought of losing Cady would be so painful.  In my
    imind I have given Cady.nice home with..abundance of food, good water, and even
    her own doggy bed for over two years now.
        With tears welling up in my eyes, I heard my daughter's voice,"Dad, you just
    don't understand.  If Cady is at the pound, no one will adopt her.  Who would pick
    her? She is three years old and not even pretty like Casey." My heart softened.  I felt
    sad for having been so callous.  As we pulled into the driveway ,there stood Cady in the
    back yard, tail wagging and ready for some supper.  I will make every effort to prevent
    any future escapes,         
    1.  Why are Cady and Casey eager to escape?  
    A.  They don't like being fenced in home
    B.  They like very much staying in the city pound
    C.  The author makes, silly mistake of walking them one by one.
    D.  The author doesn't provide them with enough food and water.
    2.   The main reason why the author decided not to bail' Cady was that _____.
    A.  he couldn't afford to raise Cady any longer
    B.  he had no time to spare to walk Cady.
    C.  he was very annoyed with Cady's escapes
    D.  he was sure the puppy pound would adopt her
    3. The underlined word "callous" in the last paragraph means _____.
    A.  heartless.  
    B.  kind.        
    C.  cool.        
    D.  angry.
    4.   What would be the best title?

      internationally agreed standards and made after discussion and  agreement with the UK's
      Institution of Lighting Professionals."
          Mr. Baker added:"It is right that lighting authorities consider, in the interests of
      cost-saving and the environment, whether lighting can be sensibly dimmed or turned off .
      with proper safety brought into full consideration."
         A Highways Agency spokesman said:"This is not about switching off lights on A-

        In the current economic downturn, many American schools are adding a new
    Subject: financial literacy (理财). One program in Virginia even gets students out of
    the classroom for a day to learn how far their money will go in the real world.  What
    looks like a shopping mall is actually an educational field trip experience for a group of
    young people.
        Finance Park is a special place where students apply what they have been taught in
    class about money management.  The facility (设施) opened last year in Fairfax,
    Virginia.  It is the fifteenth Finance Park built in the last decade by Junior Achievement
    USA, a non-profit organization helping to prepare young people for financial success.
    "Since the financial crisis (危机), the demand for Finance Parks around the country
    has grown," says Ed Grenier, president of the Washington, DC chapter.
        Financial literacy has only recently become part of the regular subjects in Fairfax
    County. "Some students, some teachers, some schools did it, but now it is much
    more systematic," Reilly says, "and it can ensure that all students get this background
    information." That is why every eighth grade student in Fairfax County will eventually
    spend a day here.
        Thirteen-year-old Sam says she has learned an important life lesson. "I didn't know
    how expensive everything would be." Anthony, also 13,is looking forward to telling
    his parents what he learned."I'11 probably tell them I want to stay a kid a little longer
    and take my time to become an adult." This isn't the end of financial studies for
    Anthony and the other students here.  Virginia is one of 23 states which requires
    students to take a financial education class in high school in order to graduate.
    1. The purpose of opening financial literacy is to _____.  
    A.  help students learn how to make money
    B.  tell students what the financial crisis is
    C.  change the current economic downturn
    D.  prepare young people for financial success
    2.   From the text we know that Finance Park is _____.    
    A.  an actual shopping mall
    B.  a profit-making organization
    C.  an educational field trip experience for students
    D.  a special place for students to spend money freely                  
    3.  We can infer from the text that _____.    
    A.  financial literacy will be popular all over America
    B.  but for the financial crisis Finanle Park wouldn't have been opened
    C.  students can graduate after taking a financial literacy class in Finance Park
    D.  students are interested in Finance Park and have the benefit of it

        When we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, a
    pinnacle (顶点)of delight.  And those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get.
            1    I remember playing policemen and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking
    part in the school play.  Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such
    peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.
        For teenagers, or people under 20 the concept of happiness changes.   2   I can
    still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to.
    I also remember the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a
    very handsome young man.
        In adulthood the things that bring great joy-birth, love, marriage also bring
    responsibility and the risk of loss.   3   For adults, happiness is complex.
           4   But I think a better explanation of happiness is" the ability to enjoy
    something".  The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are.  It's easy to
    overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the
    freedom to live where we please, even good health.
        While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever.
    Happiness isn't about what happens to us; it's the ability to find a positive for every
    negative, and view a difficulty as a challenge.  5 
    A.  Love may not last; loved ones die.
    B.  For a child, happiness has a magic quality.
    C.  Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life.
