For certain items, you can find equal quality with second-hand, and for a small part of the cost. And with some online sites, finding those items couldn’t be easier. Why pay more when you could be saving loads of money
Here are some items that you would be much better off buying used:

Furniture: It’s no secret that furniture is pricy, and if you’re in the process of decorating a new space with new furniture, prepare for your wallet to be drained. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. If you’re worried about the furniture being worn, just set up a time to go see it before you make the purchase.

IV. Reading
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
After researching the history of the Vietnam War, I called my mum and asked her if she knew anyone who went to Vietnam that I could interview. She thought for a while and suddenly remembered that she has a cousin who is a veteran of the Vietnam War.
She says, “I know him since I was little. He was one of the greatest athletes of the school. You cannot imagine how good and fast he was. Well, he was ranked number 18 in the country for being an outstanding track and field runner. But now, those things are only memories.”
I called him and introduced myself. He was in an agreeable mood at the beginning, but as soon as I began to question him, his attitude changed. “What happened in Vietnam ” I asked. There was a moment of silence on the other line, and then he said he was willing to tell me about Vietnam.
He said that he was drafted when he was 20 years old and that the two years later he spent there a part of his life he would rather forget. He said, “The problem is that you will never imagine how much suffering and pain I saw in that place.” There is not one book or article that can really describe the human disaster that took place there. There is nothing worse in this world than killing a man who you know has a family. It is very sad, but it is the truth, and it turns more complex when you realize you were part of that truth.
When I returned to Puerto Rico, it was a total disaster: young kids without fathers, wives without husbands. Most of those who made it back have no legs, like me, or no arms. I was praised because of my bravery, but for me, that was and is pure nonsense, because that war decided my future, decided the future of my family. I, now, am just a veteran who has nothing.
The thing that bothers me the most is that the people who decided to fight will probably never know that it is likely to kill a man, or feel pain and suffering from hunger and the absence of love. In war, every minute you are fearing because the only thing you have in your mind is that if you don’t kill first you are going to get killed.
1. Why did the author’s mother say “Those things are only memories”
A. Because she would rather keep what happened in the past as a secret.
B. Because her cousin is no longer a vigorous young man.
C. Because though her cousin was a good runner, he lost his leg during the war.
D. Because time passed quickly and she can’t remember much of the past days.
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the 4th paragraph
A. Books and articles all presented a false picture of the war.
B. It takes mental strength to survive the war.
C. The sufferings during the war greatly damaged the memory of soldiers,
D. The author’s uncle felt very painful when he realized the truth of the war.
3. Why did the author’s uncle find the praises “pure nonsense”
A. Because praises came too late.
B. Because no praise could make up for his loss.
C. Because he didn’t kill anyone during the war.
D. Because too many praises seemed worthless.
【答案】 CDB
【解析】
1. C 推理判断题．根据全文内容可知，作者的母亲在回忆了自己的兄弟在年轻的时候身体健壮并且擅长各种体育运动，然后感叹"Those things are only memories"--这些仅仅是回忆．根据后文我们可以知道这个越南战争的退役老兵失去了双腿，所以以前年轻时健壮的身体再也没有了．所以C选项是正确的．
2．D理解概括题．根据第四段的内容可知，退役老兵讲到自己直到亲身经历了越南战争才发现战争是如何地残酷，这是其他任何书上都没有描述过的，亲身体验带给他强烈的真实感受．所以D选项是正确的．
3．B细节理解题．根据倒数第二段because that war decided my future，decided the future of my family．I，now，am just a veteran who has nothing．可知作者对老兵的肯定与赞扬弥补不了他的伤痛和损失．所以B选项是正确的．
文章解析
本文主要讲述了作者的母亲回忆了自己的表哥在年轻的时候身体健壮并且擅长各种体育运动，但他在越南战争中失去了双腿。此外，退役老兵讲到自己直到亲身经历了越南战争才发现战争是如何地残酷。由此引发作者的感慨，发动战争的决定者应该受到谴责。

Furniture: It’s no secret that furniture is pricy, and if you’re in the process of decorating a new space with new furniture, prepare for your wallet to be drained.

IV. Reading
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
After researching the history of the Vietnam War, I called my mum and asked her if she knew anyone who went to Vietnam that I could interview. She thought for a while and suddenly remembered that she has a cousin who is a veteran of the Vietnam War.
She says, “I know him since I was little. He was one of the greatest athletes of the school. You cannot imagine how good and fast he was. Well, he was ranked number 18 in the country for being an outstanding track and field runner. But now, those things are only memories.”
I called him and introduced myself. He was in an agreeable mood at the beginning, but as soon as I began to question him, his attitude changed. “What happened in Vietnam ” I asked. There was a moment of silence on the other line, and then he said he was willing to tell me about Vietnam.
He said that he was drafted when he was 20 years old and that the two years later he spent there a part of his life he would rather forget. He said, “The problem is that you will never imagine how much suffering and pain I saw in that place.” There is not one book or article that can really describe the human disaster that took place there. There is nothing worse in this world than killing a man who you know has a family. It is very sad, but it is the truth, and it turns more complex when you realize you were part of that truth.
When I returned to Puerto Rico, it was a total disaster: young kids without fathers, wives without husbands. Most of those who made it back have no legs, like me, or no arms. I was praised because of my bravery, but for me, that was and is pure nonsense, because that war decided my future, decided the future of my family. I, now, am just a veteran who has nothing.
The thing that bothers me the most is that the people who decided to fight will probably never know that it is likely to kill a man, or feel pain and suffering from hunger and the absence of love. In war, every minute you are fearing because the only thing you have in your mind is that if you don’t kill first you are going to get killed.
1. Why did the author’s mother say “Those things are only memories”
A. Because she would rather keep what happened in the past as a secret.
B. Because her cousin is no longer a vigorous young man.
C. Because though her cousin was a good runner, he lost his leg during the war.
D. Because time passed quickly and she can’t remember much of the past days.
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the 4th paragraph
A. Books and articles all presented a false picture of the war.
B. It takes mental strength to survive the war.
C. The sufferings during the war greatly damaged the memory of soldiers,
D. The author’s uncle felt very painful when he realized the truth of the war.
3. Why did the author’s uncle find the praises “pure nonsense”
A. Because praises came too late.
B. Because no praise could make up for his loss.
C. Because he didn’t kill anyone during the war.
D. Because too many praises seemed worthless.
【答案】 CDB
【解析】
1. C 推理判断题．根据全文内容可知，作者的母亲在回忆了自己的兄弟在年轻的时候身体健壮并且擅长各种体育运动，然后感叹"Those things are only memories"--这些仅仅是回忆．根据后文我们可以知道这个越南战争的退役老兵失去了双腿，所以以前年轻时健壮的身体再也没有了．所以C选项是正确的．
2．D理解概括题．根据第四段的内容可知，退役老兵讲到自己直到亲身经历了越南战争才发现战争是如何地残酷，这是其他任何书上都没有描述过的，亲身体验带给他强烈的真实感受．所以D选项是正确的．
3．B细节理解题．根据倒数第二段because that war decided my future，decided the future of my family．I，now，am just a veteran who has nothing．可知作者对老兵的肯定与赞扬弥补不了他的伤痛和损失．所以B选项是正确的．
文章解析
本文主要讲述了作者的母亲回忆了自己的表哥在年轻的时候身体健壮并且擅长各种体育运动，但他在越南战争中失去了双腿。此外，退役老兵讲到自己直到亲身经历了越南战争才发现战争是如何地残酷。由此引发作者的感慨，发动战争的决定者应该受到谴责。
