It is normal for parents to question their children's hairstyle or the clothes they wear. But today teenagers and their parents argue over something else: money.
Children are spending lots of it. Parents used to say to their children, "You're wearing that?" Now they say, "You paid how much for that?"
Children in the US today spend five times more money than their parents did when they were young.
So what are all these children buying? The list is long: ipods trainers(訓(xùn)練鞋), cellphones and jeans are typical items that children "have to" buy. And they will do anything to get them. They ask their parents over and over until they buy them.
But parents also need to take the blame for spending so much money. They want their children to have the best stuff. They end up competing with other parents over what their children have.
So no wonder children find it hard to learn the importance of saving money rather than spending it all the time.
And it's hard to save when companies use advertising and clever slogans to encourage young people to buy their products. They even encourage children to keep asking their parents for something until they get it.
Today, you don't even need to have money in order to buy something. Banks give out credit cards and loans all the time so people are saving less and less. We are used to there being lots of money around. And if you don't have much you can always borrow some.
But this hasn't always been the case. When our grandparents were young there was very little money and everyone had to save hard for things they bought. They only bought things they needed, not things they just wanted.
The older generation made the wise expression, "Money doesn’t grow on trees." This is as true now as it was 50 years ago. They give money a great deal of value. And we all have a lot to learn from them.
小題1:The text mainly tells us ________.
A．divisions between teenagers and their parents
B．children's high consumption (消費) of products
C．what is popular among children at the moment
D．how to spend money wisely
小題2:Parents are to blame for children's spending a lot of money because ________.
A．they encourage children to care about the latest fashion
B．their consumption habits set a bad example for children
C．they always give children too much pocket money
D．they do nothing to help children establish healthy consumption habits
小題3:Nowadays people find it hard to save money because of all of the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.
A．banks provide credit cards and loans
B．a(chǎn)dvertisements draw people’s attention to new products
C．people have more money than in the past and saving is out of date
D．people's living standard has improved and they can buy what they want
小題4:The saying "Money doesn't grow on trees." in the last paragraph is intended to tell us that ________.
A．the older generation understood how to teach children to save
B．in the past, people attached more importance to saving money
C．money has a great deal of value
D．money is not easily earned and people should be careful spending it

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters(學(xué)問). Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, she said again, “is for Elizabeth.” I never saw her anger, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too emotional. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed, I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原諒）me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written in, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside－a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you chose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
小題1:The writer began to love her mother’s desk _______.
A．a(chǎn)fter Mother died.B．before she became a writer.
C．when she was a child.D．when Mother gave it to her.
小題2:The passage shows that _____.
A．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter.
B．Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done.
C．Mother cared much about her daughter in words.
D．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words.
小題3:The word gulf in the paragraph 2 means ______.
A．deep understanding between the old and the young.
B．different ideas between the mother and the daughter.
C．free talks between mother and daughter.
D．part of the sea going far in land.
小題4:What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?
A．She had never received the letter.
B．For years, she often talked about the letter.
C．She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
D．She read the letter again and again till she died.
小題5:What’s the best title of the passage?
A．My Letter to Mother.B．Mother and Children.
C．My Mother’s Desk.D．Talks between Mother and Me.

“Oh, there is plenty of time yet,” answered Tom.
“Oh, I’ll get you some more tea then,” said John.
They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again.

It was her laughing that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn’t all that funny.
Walking over to the offender (someone that does something wrong), I asked for the   36 . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet   37  between teacher and student. When she finally   38  it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it.”
It was a hand-drawn   39  of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.
I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind,   40 , was working angrily as I struggled not to   41 . I figured I knew the two students who were most likely to draw the picture. It would do them some   42  to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself   43 .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how   44 this was for me. I told them there must be a reason   45  and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffled(抽鼻子) in the back of the classroom.
As I   46  the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you,” or “I’m sorry you were hurt.” A number of them said, “You give us too much homework.” Some kids said, “We’re   47  of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I   48   were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too   49  , too strict…
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of   50 my students, I had begun commanding them to   51 . Where I thought I was driving them to success I was   52  driving them away.
I had some apologizing to do. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one   53  by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for   54 .
This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the   55 .

A Love Note To My Mom
When I was a little girl, I would often accompany you as you modeled for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood what role modelling  36 in your life. Little did I know you were  37 every penny you earned to go to  38  school.
I cannot thank you enough for  39 you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I went into the dining room where you were buried  40  piles of law books. I was  41  .Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for  42  ? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know. Moms could be lawyers too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
As young as I was, that statement kept  43 in my ears. I watched as you faced the  44 of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a  45 and a Mom with five kids. I was exhausted just watching you in action. With your words of wisdom in my youthful mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world  46 . I set out to live my life filled with        47  , seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto. I constantly found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) or one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said , “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your  48 , I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and  49 meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m  50 it. So, get to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horse back riding.
When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown. ” I had no idea how to find Linda.
Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.
One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman — Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but I still wrote to her.
She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. ”
Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!
小題1:The writer went to piano lessons with Linda Evans        .
A．a(chǎn)t the age of 13B．before she got married
C．a(chǎn)fter they moved to new homesD．before the writer’s family moved away
小題2:They didn’t often write to each other because they        .
A．got marriedB．had little time to do so
C．didn’t like writing lettersD．could see each other on special time
小題3:There was an empty place in the writer’s heart because she        .
A．was in trouble
B．didn’t know Linda’s address
