Do you have the ability to live cheaply? Now here’s a true story of an American girl, Sarah. After Sarah left university, 36  began to live in New York City on her own. She  37  a job in a publishing house, but the salary was less than $30，000 a year. Her parents thought her life would be hard, but Sarah could live on her _38 and still saved $5,000 in a year. How was that 39  in one of the most expensive cities in the world?
Cheap living always starts with keeping the big cost small．For most people, that means housing. So Sarah chose to 40__ a flat with three other friends. Her next biggest cost was 41 . When she ate out, she went to cheap restaurants. 42 she bought a $9.99 whole chicken at a local restaurant. She then 43_ the chicken bones(骨頭)home and made soup out of them. Nowadays young people often  44  a lot of money on entertainment(娛樂). But Sarah said, “I enjoy walking 45 in New York City. I love going to museums and parks.”  Did Sarah feel poor by cheap living? Not really. She   46 managed to take two trips, one to the Netherlands, the other to Portland.
“Don’t think of saving money as something 47 . It’s a kind of game,” said Sarah.

小題1:A小題1:A

小題1:B。she她。她開始獨(dú)自居住在紐約市，在一家出版社找了一份工作。
小題1:A。根據(jù)后面的but the salary was …意為“薪水是……”可知是找到了工作。因此tried“嘗試”，asked for“請求”，looked for“尋找，(強(qiáng)調(diào)動作)”都不符合，found為find的過去式，意為“找到(強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)果)”符合句意。 
小題1:A。但Sarah能夠靠她的薪水（salary）生活。
小題1:B。根據(jù)上文可知此處句意為“在世界上消費(fèi)最貴的城市之一，那怎么可能？”所以，difficult“困難的”，useful“有用的”，different“不同的”不符合句意，possible“可能的”符合。
小題1:D。share sth with sb和某人分享某物。因此Sarah選擇和其他3個朋友共住一間公寓。
小題1:A。根據(jù)后面講述的關(guān)于她吃飯方面的事情，可以推測出這里是說“她接下來最大的花費(fèi)是食物”。
小題1:C。后面是描述Sarah某次吃飯的經(jīng)歷，所以用once“一次”，其他選項soon“不久”，finally“最后”，again“又；再”不符合。
小題1:B。根據(jù)句意判斷，此處是說“她把骨頭帶回家，用他們做湯”。其他動詞無此意。
小題1:C。spend some money on sth.意為“在某事上花費(fèi)金錢”。
小題1:D�？疾樵~組walk around意為“四處走走；四處轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)”。
小題1:A。even甚至。她甚至兩次成功的旅游。
小題1:A。根據(jù)短文最后一句It’s a kind of game,“這是一種游戲”，可知Sarah認(rèn)為節(jié)約花錢不是一件困難的（hard）事情。

In some western countries, many children do chores (家務(wù)) to get pocket money. They usually start to do this when they are ten years old.
School students have to do homework and study for tests.  They don’t have much free time on weekdays. They often do chores on weekends.
Young kids only do easy chores. So they don’t get much money. But that’s enough. Many of them only want to buy candy. And candy is cheap! They often help do the dishes, sweep the floor, or feed the pet cat or dog.
When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. So they have to work harder! They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals.
Some jobs are a good way for kids to learn new things. For example, they can learn how to use a lawnmower ( 割草機(jī)) or how to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first.

I had the meanest mother in the whole world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have porridge, eggs or toast. When others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn’t alone when I was sad. My sister and two brothers had the same mean(刻薄的) mother as I did.?
My mother preferred to know where we were all the time. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. We had to clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids got to wear the same clothes for days. We could not lie in bed “sick” in order to miss school.?
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and get up at eight the next morning. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, my mother was brave to break the Child Labour Law. She made us work. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook and all sorts of things at home. I believe she lay awake thinking up all things for us to do. ?
My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Two of her children received higher education. None of us have ever been arrested(taken away by the police) or divorced. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. I am trying to raise my three children this way. I am filled with pride when my children call me “mean”. Why? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.?
