18．Dear Aunty，
I work at a supermarket，and another girl and I share tasks we must finish before leaving．But she takes half an hour to do something I can do in ten minutes．She always has a story to tell me and stops working when she does．My boss is angry at both of us，but It's not my fault．I don't want to rat on her，but what else can I do？
Flustered
Dear Flustered，
Let me propose a better way．Make a log of all the tasks you share，then suggest to your boss that for efficiency your duties could be divided into two separate checklists．If he's reluctant，go to plan B：the next time this girl starts telling you a story，stop working to listen and call your boss over to hear what a great storyteller she is．I'm sure he'll take it from here．
Aunty
Dear Aunty，
I'm a college student in the Philippines who wants to be wise with money．I'm not an economics or business major student and I don't know anything about stocks．But I really want to buy assets and invest．I receive about 15，000pesos（比索）every school term from my education plan．I don't have any idea how I should spend it．I don't want to just buy new clothes，or hang out with my friends because it would not be wise．I want my money to grow．Please enlighten me．
Fastbreakplay
Dear Fastbreakplay，
Being wise with money is the No.1thing to learn．Start with a disciplined and systematic savings plan．When your savings reach a sizeable amount，then you may start investing．In the meantime，invest in yourself by reading up on stock markets and capital markets．Follow the news．Before I started investing during my senior high school years，I had already studied stock market data of the past century as I believe markets tend to repeat themselves．If you master this skill，you will master your reading of the markets．
Aunty

59．When Flustered's boss isn't willing to separate their work，F(xiàn)lustered canA．

61．In Aunty's opinion，one shouldB at the beginning to be wise with money．
A．start investing          B．have a saving plan
C．study stock markets      D．master market reading
62．From letters above，we know Aunty should beD．

C．a(chǎn) famous singer          D．a(chǎn) name of a columnist．

分析 本文為書(shū)信，是幾個(gè)人寫(xiě)給Aunty的信，及Aunty的回信．

解答 59---62 ACBD
59．答案A．根據(jù)第二封信If he's reluctant，go to plan B：the next time this girl starts telling you a story，stop working to listen and call your boss over to hear what a great storyteller she is可知，如果他拒絕，采用Plan B，即第二條建議．故選A．
60．答案C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．結(jié)合第三封信件的第一句I'm a college student in the Philippines who wants to be wise with money，以及最后一句I want my money to grow．Please enlighten me可知，寫(xiě)信的目的是請(qǐng)教讓錢(qián)增值的方法．故選C．
61．答案B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第四封信第二句Start with a disciplined and systematic savings plan可知，在理財(cái)之前首先應(yīng)該有儲(chǔ)蓄計(jì)劃．故選B．
62．答案D．推理判斷題．Aunty分別就兩個(gè)不同的問(wèn)題給出了自己的建議，由此可推斷應(yīng)該是專(zhuān)欄作者．

8．Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia（懷舊）．It's fun to come home．It looks the same．It smells the same．You'll realize what's changed is you．Home is where we ran remember pain，live，and some other experiences； We parted here； My parents met here； I won three championships here．
If I close my eyes，I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home．I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table．To the right of the living room is my first bedroom．It's empty，but it's where my earliest memories are．
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays，and where I cried on Halloween-when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me．I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong．If I sit at this table，I can see my favorite room in the house，my parents'room．It is simple：a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side．Their bed is my safe zone．I can jump on it anytime---waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning．
I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists．It exists in my mind and heart，on a physical property（住宅） on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles．It is proof I lived，I grew and I learned．
Sometimes when I feel lost，I lie down and shut my eyes，and I go home．I know it's where I'll find my family，my dogs，and my belongings．I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom．But I don't mind，because I want to hear her say my name，which reminds me I'm home．

44．Why does the author call her parents'bed her"safe zone"（Paragraph 3）？B
A．It is her favorite place to play．
B．Her needs can be satisfied there．
C．Her grandparents'photos are lined on each side．
D．Her parents always play together with her there．
45．What can be learned from the passage？B
A．The old furniture is still in the author's fist bedroom．
B．The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles．
C．The author's favorite room in her first home is the dining room．
