Valuable Values
The spending power of young people varies from person to person①.Each, however, is faced with② the same question: what to do with their money Some handle③ this less well than others.Recent headlines④ have seen more and more teens maxing out⑤ their parents' credit cards⑥ on games or other online activities.
In contrast to⑦ these big spenders, there are also teens [1]that prove age is no barrier⑧ to making good use of⑨ money.With the help of⑩ her grandmother, eight year old Khloe Thompson started making “Kare Bags” for the homeless people in her district .[2]Inside the bags are necessities such as toothpaste , soap and socks, bought first with her pocket money and then through crowd funding. These items helped to make the lives of poor and homeless people a little bit easier.On receiving a Kare Bag, one woman said, “You make me feel like a human being.”

珍贵的价值
年轻人的消费能力因人而异。然而,每个人都面临一个同样的问题:该如何对待自己的钱?有些人并不那么擅长理财。最近的新闻头条中报道了越来越多的青少年刷爆了父母的信用卡,将钱肆意挥霍在网络游戏或其他网络活动中。
与这些花钱大手大脚的人相比,也有一些青少年证明了年龄并非善于利用金钱的障碍。年仅八岁的科洛·汤普森在祖母的帮助下,开始为她所在区的流浪者们制作“爱心包包”。包里面装着一些生活必需品,比如牙膏、肥皂和袜子等。最初购买这些物品用的都是她自己的零花钱,后来则是通过众筹购买。这些物品让贫穷和无家可归的人生活得稍微轻松了一些。在收到“爱心包包”时,一位女士说:“你让我觉得自己活得像个人。”
无论人们打算怎样使用自己的钱,理财对于年轻一代来说似乎变得前所未有地重要。2016年的一项研究表明,美国有17个州要求高中生修个人理财的课程。对于那些无法接触理财课程的人来说,多亏杰里·维特科夫斯基和他的理财方法——他用四个罐子教青少年如何智慧理财。
当杰里的孙子孙女们年满13岁时,杰里给他们每个人的礼物都是三个罐子:一个用于消费,一个用于储蓄,另一个用于给予——之后他还增加了第四个罐子,用于投资。从那时起,他的孙子孙女们就开始自己掌控如何处理所得的钱:用于消费、储蓄、投资还是给予他人?然而,杰里送他们生日礼物的价值远远不止金钱和这几个罐子——他为他们提供了终身树立正确价值观的机会。
“消费”罐子传递的价值是,你要为自己的幸福负责。金钱让你独立,并给你购买自己所爱之物的机会。毕竟,对自己好一点是可以的!
“消费”罐子关注的是眼前和当下,而“储蓄”罐子则为你提供了未来的愿景。它可以是为大学教育准备的存款,也可以是为自己在商店里看到的心仪之物而攒的钱——这都取决于你。
“投资”罐子不仅代表着对未来的愿景,还为未来的发展提供了机会。虽然它同样包括为大学教育而把钱存起来,但它同时还意味着对自身的投资。
“给予”罐子其实就是指善良与帮助。无论你是想要接济朋友,为动物慈善机构捐款,或是救助另一个国家的孩子,这都是你的钱,你可以把它捐给任何你相信的事业。
介绍这四个罐子,更深远的目的在于鼓励青少年以一种更客观的方式思考金钱以及用钱能做的事情,让他们在成长的过程中逐渐理解重要事物的真正价值。这样他们在步入成人社会时才会更加得心应手,并且能够对如何管理金钱做出明智的选择。事实上,他们罐子中的细微变化可能意味着日后他们理财方式的巨大变化。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I have three kids and a great husband and I'm enjoying a career that I find challenging and fun.This feels like “Success” to the outside world.But there is still a voice in my heart asking if this is who I truly am.Only in silence do I hear the self and wonder who that person might be.
So I booked a trip to find out.I travelled, for the first time, without my husband or kids.I went to Iceland with a friend, who shares an appreciation for wilderness and silence.
For six days, we were immersed in wild, raw scenery and real weather — all kinds of weather.Climbing a mountain against rain and returning to a tent for a simple meal reminds you how little you actually need, and how strong it feels to be uncomfortable sometimes.
I found silence in Iceland, and time to consider the me outside of career and the me outside of kids as I shared stories with strangers.
When I stopped talking and just listened, I became more generous.I learned that choosing to be generous can create more space, more food and more warmth.
But I didn't really gain any better appreciation of what I want from life or my job.I suspect the anxiety that drove me to seek silence in Iceland was losing sight of my ability to choose gratitude and joy, and to be present in the challenges I set in my career and my family.
I came home to noise, rush and love; with no less confusion on who I want to be.I know the answer isn't waiting out there on the top of a mountain in Iceland.The answer is in front of me with every step on my own life's path, and in every choice I make.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者为了寻找真正的自我,踏上了冰岛之旅。回来之后,她意识到答案不在遥远的冰岛,而在平平淡淡的日常生活和工作中。

2.Which word can best describe the author's trip
A.Puzzling.        B.Thrilling.

A.She became more positive.
B.She became more energetic.
C.She became even lonelier.

4.What will the author do in the future
A.Withdraw back to nature.
B.Face reality bravely.
C.Travel to Iceland more often.

B
If you're a cycling lover, you will have to pay a lot of attention to your bicycle and maintain it well, for bicycle parts are exposed to wear and tear (磨损) over time and you have to examine the bicycle to see if there are any signs of wearing such as scratches, dents (凹陷), etc.Sometimes, a part may not work because it has exceeded its life expectancy.Sometimes, you will need to find replacement parts for it to keep up the performance of the bicycle.
Different parts of a bicycle will wear at different rates so it is very important that you have a basic understanding about the role played by each part.One of the most important parts of the bicycle is the frame.You will need to choose a frame that lasts for a very long time.Of course, you will see some paint scratches after some time.When you're selecting a frame, you have to think about the material.Aluminium (铝) frames will not rust easily, but they have a higher chance to dent.Steel frames will be hard to dent, but you will need to make sure they get a good paint job so that they won't rust.
Other parts that you can buy used are seats, handlebars and the stem.When you are buying handlebars, you have to see if there are any dents or if they have been bent out of shape.There shouldn't be any cracks in the seat post or the handlebars.There are many shops where you can buy parts, so you will have to check the references to see how customers respond to them before you buy anything.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自行车各个零件的构成及购买时的注意事项。

6.Which parts may be replaced by the used ones
A.Wheels and chains.
B.Tyres and seats.
C.Handlebars and stems.
D.Frames and pedals.

7.What does the underlined word “references” in the last paragraph probably mean
A.Materials. B.Prices.
C.Introductions. D.Comments.
解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后to see how customers respond to them before you buy anything(在你买东西之前先看看顾客对它们的反应)可知,在购买零件之前,你要查看评论,看看其他顾客对它们的反应。因此画线词references意为“评论”,故选D项。
8.Where is this passage most likely to be found
A.A research report.
B.A product advertisement.
C.A tourist guide book.
D.A popular magazine.
解析:选B 文章出处题。本文主要介绍的是自行车各个零件的构成及购买时的注意事项,因此最有可能出现在产品广告中,故选B项。

How to Make a Difference to the World
Many people believe that they don't have what it takes to make a difference to the world.They believe only people like Mother Teresa, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein and Bill Gates are able to do so. 1 The following is a guide as to how small people like us can make a difference to the world.
It need not be an enormous task.
2 In this case, you already have what it takes to make the world a better place.Making a difference to the world may seem like an enormous task, but it is in fact the collective effort of everyone to make small contributions.The size of the contribution is not what matters most.The key here is to have the heart to do it.
Start now.
There is no one best time to start to make a difference to the world.You don't need to wait till you have the time to share some love; you don't have to wait till you earn more money to share a piece of bread.Little efforts count. 3
4
As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish; you feed him for a day.Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” The good that we seek to do will make more of a difference when there is a long lasting effect rather than a temporary effect. 5 And when more people receive education, they will in turn provide more value to the world.
A.Seek to make a long lasting effect.
B.Stop complaining and do something.
C.You can start making small contributions today.
D.If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
E.Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something.
F.The truth is, every one of us can make it in our own unique way.
G.For example, building a school will benefit many people for years to come.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。许多人只相信名人才会对世界有影响,其实每个人都可以对世界有影响,文章围绕小人物怎么对世界产生影响展开。
1.选F 根据空前句They believe only people like Mother Teresa, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein and Bill Gates are able to do so.可知,许多人认为只有名人才会对世界有影响。根据空后句The following is a guide as to how small people like us can make a difference to the world.可知,本空应选F项(事实是,我们每个人都可以用自己独特的方式来做到)。F项中make it对应上文中的make a difference,every one of us对应下一句中的small people。
2.选D 根据本段段落主题句It need not be an enormous task.可知,本段要介绍的是:可以做小的事情来对世界产生影响。故选D项(如果你不能喂饱一百个人,那你就喂饱一个人),该项强调了如果做不了大的事情可以做小的事情。
3.选C 根据本段段落主题句Start now.可知,C项(你可以今天开始做一些小的贡献)切题。C项中today与本段段落主题句中now为同义词。
4.选A 本空为段落主题句。根据本段中As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish; you feed him for a day.Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”可知,本段强调要对被帮助者产生长时间的影响,故选A项。A项中a long lasting effect和后句中a long lasting effect为词汇复现。
5.选G 根据空后中And when more people receive education, they will in turn provide more value to the world.可知,G项(例如,建一所学校将使许多人受益多年)符合文意。
