     For years I wanted a flower garden.I'd spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that
would look nice together.
     But then we had Matthew.And Marvin.And the twins,Alisa and Alan.And then Helen.Five children.
I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
     Money was tight,as well as time.Often when my children were little,one of them would want
something that cost too much, and I'd have to say,"Do you see a money tree outside?Money doesn't
grow on trees, you know."
     Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own.I started thinking again
about having a garden.
     I wasn't sure,though.I mean,gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on
a pretty lean,nofrills budget.
     Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen.Suddenly,I realized that
cars were tooting their horns as they drove by.I looked out of the window and there was a new tree,
planted right in my yard.I thought it must be a weeping willow,because I saw things blowing around on
all its branches.Then I put my glasses on-and I couldn't believe what I saw.There was a money tree in
my yard!
      I went outside to look.It was true!There were dollar bills,one hundred of them,taped all over that
tree.  Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note
attached:"IOU eight hours of digging time.Love,Marvin."
     Marvin kept his promise,too.He dug up a nice tenbyfifteen foot bed for me.And my other children
bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis(棚架),a sunflower stepping stone and gard
ening books.
     That was three years ago.My garden's now very pretty, just like I wanted.When I go out and weed
or tend my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they are right
there with me.
     I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula,where winters are long and cold, and summers are too
short.But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out of my window and think of the flowers. I'll
see next spring in my little garden.I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my
eyes－every time.
     I'm still not sure that money grows on trees.But I know love does!    
1. By saying "Do you see a money tree outside…”the mother actually means "________".
A. Observation is the best teacher
B. Seeing is believing
C. The outsider sees the most of the game
D. It is not easy to gain money
2. The best title for the passage would probably be________.
A. My flower garden
B. Marvin helps to realize my dream
C. Love in Michigan
D. Money grows on trees
3. The underlined word "nofrills"in the fifth paragraph is similar in meaning to________.

A. wasteful  
B. tight
C. absurd  
D. helpful

4. From the passage we can infer that the mother is________.
A. divorced when she was young
B. not caring for her kids any longer
C. alone but not at all lonely
D. prouder with her garden than with her kids

    For many of us, printed books are satisfying in ways beyond the words they contain. Billions of printed books have been published, read and saved in the 600 years since movable type was invented, so why mess with a good things?
    Sony Electronics is doing just that, betting that readers will be won over by the convenience of readability of its new electronic book devices. Sony's reader, the PRS-505, can hold 160 books in its fixed memory, enough to line the shelves on a good-sized wall in the average American home. The $299 device is about the size of a paperback book, but a half-inch thick and weighs less than a pound.
    The Sony book reader is revolutionary not only in its storage capacity. The font（字體） is highly readable and adjustable by size. Unlike laptop computers, you can put the Sony in your purse, read it in direct sunlight and even bookmark the pages. And you can connect it to your PC to download books.
    Surprisingly, though the reader has liberated the book from paper, electronic books aren't always a bargain. For example, David Baldacci's "Stone Cold" download retails（零售） for $15.19 at the Sony site, while Amazon（卓越網(wǎng)） will deliver a hard copy to your mailbox for $16.19.
    The Sony reader also lets you store and play or display music. So what's not to like about the Sony? Well, for many bibliophiles, a lot. Book lovers like to have, hold and keep their volumes, which don't need charging. You can write notes in the margins, and enjoy the ambience they provide on your book shelves.
    The need for electronic reading devices is likely to grow as more people worried about the billions of tons of paper used for printed material. Many believe the time will come when devices like the Sony reader are as common as printed newspapers and magazines today.
    1．What would be the best title for the passage?
    A. The age of the electronic book reader is coming
    B. Printed books are out of date
    C. The Sony reader meets many readers’ needs
    D. The revolution in book readers
    2．According to the passage, the Sony book reader _________.
    A. is as light as a laptop computer              
    B. can hold more than 200 books
    C. is convenient to carry around                 
    D. cannot be connected to a PC
    3．What is the author’s point when he mentions “Stone Cold”?
    A. Amazon’s printed books are very cheap
    B. “Stone Cold” can be got from the Sony site and Amazon
    C. The Sony book reader is not very cheap to use
    D. The Sony book reader can benefit its buyers a lot
    4．The underlined word “bibliophiles” in Paragraph 5 refers to “__________”.
    A. music lovers                                  B. book lovers
    C. electronic reading devices        D. Sony readers
    5．According to the author, what’s the future for the electronic reading devices?
    A. They’ll replace printed newspapers and magazines
    B. They’ll still be more expensive than printed newspapers

         For most students, the most difficult part of any exam is the actual studying.Typically, there is so much
    material to study that students begin to delay, putting off studying until the night before.After a latenight cram session, students arrive at the exam tired and feeling dazed by large amounts of information they've tried to
    absorb.The easiest way to study, for an exam, and avoid the cram sessions, is to make a study plan.
    The first step to making a study plan is to decide whether you want to study alone or in a group.When
    planning study times and organizing study sessions for a group, the needs and schedules of the group are a
    factor.As a result, you must decide whether you will be studying with a group before continuing with making a study plan.
         There are two time elements that are important to an effective study plan.The first time element to consider is the amount of time you have until the exam, while the second is the amount of time during the day that
    you can set aside for studying.Try to study for at least two hours per day for major exams, like entrance
    exams, and at least thirty minutes per day for lecture exams.If you are limited on the amount of time until the exam, such as one week or less, then you will need to increase your daily study time.Set up a schedule with clearly marked study times for each day.
         The content to be studied depends on the type of exam.For placement exams, entrance exams, and
    licensure exams, there are no specific textbooks or prior lecture notes.There are, however, commercially
    available review guides, and textbooks and lecture notes from past classes often contain a great deal of
    material that will help with the exam.By looking at the content areas  of the test, you can determine what
    readily available material to study.For coursebased exams, textbooks and lecture notes are both ideal study content.Break the content into chunks(塊), and then assign specific chunks to the study times that you have
    listed on your schedule.
         Once you have set up study times and assigned material to them, it is time to study.When reading
    textbooks, take notes on the information.With lecture notes, write notes in the margin.Use a highlighter.The
    idea is to make key information readily available for review.In addition, making notes and looking up ideas
    to supplement notes reinforces the material in your mind.Quiz yourself as you finish each area you are
    studying to determine what you still need to review.
         Study plans are as unique as the person making them.The most effective study plan will take into
    account your schedule, the times each day when you are able to study without interruption, and the amount of material that needs to be reviewed.By spreading out the study times and breaking up the information,
    you make it easier to absorb and retain the necessary material before the exam.
      1    The easiest way to study for an exam and avoid the cram sessions
    Making a  study plan
       2    or solo An important   3  :the needs and schedules of the group

         For years children in the industrial areas of Europe and America seldom left their smoky cities to see
    the beauty of the countryside.Not that the woods and fields were always far away, but they were too far
    from the city to permit people to make a round trip between morning and nightfall.What's more, factory
    workers did not have enough money to send their children on country holidays away from home.
         In 1907 a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs.He decided to
    turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory for the summer holidays.Anyone who brought his sleeping bag
    and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small amount of money.The idea was a success.A few years later the schoolhouse was far too small to hold so many young people who wanted to stay there.So, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby.This was the first Youth Hostel.
         Today young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostels and get to know each
    other.Some spend a week or more in the same hostel, seeing the surrounding sights and meeting the people of the area.Other youths go on foot or by bicycle from place to place, spending a night or two in one
    hostel, then going to the next.
         Sometimes an informal program will be organized after the meal, with dances, songs, or short talks
    followed by a question period.One can learn a lot about other places, just by meeting people who come
    from these places.For this reason, a few weeks spent "hostelling" can be just as useful a part of one's
    education as classes in school.
    1.  The reason why children in the industrial areas seldom left their smoky cities was that ________.
    A.  they didn't like the beauty of the countryside at all
    B.  their parents' income was not high enough to pay for the cost
    C.  they couldn't make a round trip between morning and nightfall because of the distance
    D.  Both B & C
    2.  Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.
    A.  how the first Youth Hostel began
    B.  how to turn little schoolhouse into a dormitory for the summer holidays
    C.  what the students should carry when spending summer holidays in the countryside
    D.  the reason why spending summer holidays in the countryside
    3.  According to the passage,, the following are the mentioned advantages of hostelling EXCEPT
    ________.
    A.  enjoying the beauty of the countryside
    B.  broadening their outlook and knowledge
    C.  making new friends
    D.  avoiding doing their homework
