Saving money gives you freedom(自由).If you have enough savings,you may be able to give up your job. I know a couple(夫妻)who saved up enough money so that they were able to leave their jobs for a year and travel across the country. You could see the wonderful experiences they had because they were able to enjoy that time together.

  Saving money is improving your future life. It is important to realize that by saving money now,you will be able to live as you like in your later years.

They know that they will be okay even if they lose their jobs and it takes time to find a new one.

  Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else's work in an exam? Don't do it again！ That's not something an honest(誠實(shí)的)student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room,don't tell your parents you have been doing your homework.

  Participate in more school activities. Good students are kind to other people and love animals. April is Loving Bird Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate?

  Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you'll discover Earth H some day. Don't laugh at new ideas. Everyone's ideas are important. You should welcome them,because new ideas make life better for everyone.

  Protect yourself. Has anyone ever taken money from your classmates? Don't let it happen to you. If you have to go home late,you should take care of yourself and let your parents know.

  Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet are not suitable for kids. So only keep to web pages that are good for you.

  "How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in U. S. A. greet each other. But uHow are you?" is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine" even though the speaker isn't fine at all. The reason is that u How are you?" isn't really a question,and "Fine" isn't really an answer. They are simply the ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi".

  Sometimes people don't say exactly what they mean. For example,when someone asks "Do you agree?" ， the other person might think, "No,I disagree. I think you're wrong. . . " But it isn't very polite to speak out one's real thoughts so directly,so the person might say "I'm not sure" ， which is a nicer way to say that you don't agree.

  People won't tell the truth when they want to finish talking with other people. For example,many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I've to go now. ” Often,the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse like "Someone's at the door, "or "Something is burning on the stove. " What they say might not be true. They want to hang up simply because they don't want to talk any more,but it isn't polite to tell the truth. The excuse is more polite and it doesn't hurt the other person's feelings.

  Whether they are greeting each other,talking about an idea,or finishing a talk,people don't always say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way to get along well with each other,and it's part of the game of a language.

(   ) 1. When a person in America asks "How are you?" ， he or she wants to hear "       ”.

A. How are you    B. Hello C. I don't know D. Fine
(   ) 2. When a person disagrees with someone,it is polite to say "         .”

A. You are wrong    B. Fm not sure

C. Fm sure I disagree    D. No,I disagree
(   ) 3. A polite way to finish a talk is to say "         ."

A. You have to go now    B. I want to hang up

C. I have to go now    D. I don't want to talk any more

(   ) 4. When a person say "I've to go now. Someone's at the door. ”， the person may be

A. giving an excuse    B. hurting someone's feeling

C. ill    D. asking you a question

(   ) 5. The rule of the game of a language is probably "    ”

A.     Always say what you mean

B.     Don't disagree with people

  New York is one of the most exciting cities in the world.

  You might want to do some shopping in New York. The Fifth Avenue is probably New York'smost famous shopping street. But if you go,be prepared to " window shop" only. This is shopping for the rich. There are other less expensive shopping areas nearby,and you'll soon find famous stores such as Bloomingdale's,Macy's and FAO Schwartz. And if you've brought your rollerblades(直排輪鞋).then a visit to Central Park is a must. This is a large,open park right in the middle of Manhattan. But if you thought that people came here to relax,then you'd be wrong. Nobody sits in Central Park: they run,jog(慢跑).and most of all they rollerblade.

  When you leave New York ， you might be tired ， but the one thing you won't be is bored ！

1. Is New York one of the most exciting cities in the world?

2. Where is for the rich to go shopping?

3. Is Macy's a shopping area or an amusement park?

4. Central Park is on the right of Manhattan,isn't it?
