However, try not to take on so many that you begin to find them taxing(伤脑筋的)or tiring.

My Favorite Money Saving Tips
One of the things that many folks want to do is better money habits. I’m pretty good about my saving, and fairly responsible in my spending. So as many of you all probably want to “save more money” or “spend less money”, I wanted to share my saving tips with you.
Manage your debt. ____11____ If you have credit card debt, pay this down before you start doing any other savings. If you have several cards with debt, try the laddering technique. Start by paying down your debt on the highest interest card you have. Once that balance is at zero, go to the next highest percent card and so on.
____12____ Life can throw at you unexpected expenses that can easily add up quickly. One of your main savings goals should be to build an emergency fund. You should have ready-to-go-in liquid cash, 6-9 months of living expenses for a rainy day. ____13____ But don’t invest the money. Make sure you can access this money in an absolute emergency.
Spend your cash. Seems crazy but it’s true! This is especially helpful to those who tend to be impulsive (冲动的) shoppers. Figure out your monthly budget, and divide it by 4. Add this amount to your wallet each week and only spend the cash. ____14____ Studies have shown that you are less likely to break large bills or to spend less cash when you have to physically pull the cash out.
Keep your extra cash in a high yield savings account. Though it’s rare to find a bank that provides a large interest rate on savings, right now you can get 0.5% and 0.1 to 0.25% on checking. ____15____
A．Get an emergency fund.
B．Avoid unnecessary expenses.
C．Don’t touch the credit cards.
D．You must make this a priority.
E．But remember to check it from time to time.
F．It’s a great way to add a little extra income to your money.
G．This amount should be kept in your high-yield savings account.
Statistics prove that we’re not the best at sticking to New Year’s resolutions. ____16____It turns out you can. Here are some strategies to get your body — and your finances — into shape.
●____17____
Umber Eats or Deliver brings food to your door with almost zero effort on your part but plenty of pressure on your pocket. Remove them from your phone and you’re less likely to overeat a two-large-pizzas-and-garlic-bread meal deal for dinner — and think of all that money you’ll save!
● Store up.
By shopping for fresh food and the makings of a healthy meal in your fridge, you’ll save money and excess (过量的) kilograms because chances are you won’t order last-minute takeaways.____18____In this way, you’ll be cleaning up your eating and your spending at the same time.
● Small steps add up.
____19____Getting rid of unhealthy habits like that doughnut with your coffee will help shave off excess weight over time. Apply that thinking to your savings, too. You might think that unless you can put away a serious part of your income that it’s not worth it. Not so. Even depositing as little as $10-20 each pay into a savings account will add up over time.
● Block it.
You can plan to limit your access to processed foods by stocking mainly healthy foods, and making those foods the first thing you see when you open the fridge.____20____Putting a block or limit on an account to help restrict spending is similar to putting a lock on the cookie jar.
A．Don’t skip meals.
B．Delete food delivery apps.
C．The same applies to money.
D．Have healthy meals at home instead.
E．Minor day-to-day decisions have a huge impact on weight loss.
F．No weight-loss goal is complete without a workout component.
G．But what if you could target your diet and financial goals with the one resolution
Basketball is a team sport, and a good pass is very important. The pass is the action of moving the ball to create scoring opportunities. The pass calls for self-sacrifice for the greater good of the team. ____21____ The following are some kinds of it.
The chest pass is a quick and accurate pass from the chest of the passer to the receiver. ____22____ You should extend your arms in a quick motion to pass the ball with palms facing outwards and thumbs facing the player you passed to. This is called follow-through.
____23____ It is relatively easy to steal, but an effective way of starting a fast break. Place your hands on both sides of the ball and bring the ball behind your head. Use your upper body strength to make the pass and follow-through.
In a bounce pass, the ball is bounced from the floor before reaching the receiver of the pass. The ball should bounce from that spot to arrive at your receiver above the knee and below the chest. ____24____
A baseball pass is best used for long distance passes. ____25____ It is especially useful during fast breaks. Place the ball high above the knee of your head with your passing hand behind it and the other under the ball. Throw the ball with an overhand arm thrust(猛推).
Practice these passes and you are sure to become an offensive threat on the court.
A．Power comes from the legs.
B．It sacrifices accuracy because of the distance.
C．Passing also helps boost the spirit of your team.
D．In other words, the ball should arrive at the receiver’s waist.
E．It is the most effective pass and fastest way to move the ball.
F．An overhead pass is a pass thrown with both hands over your head.
G．An effective pass is a combination of good timing, speed and accuracy.

These days, a lot of people travel as a result of rising wealth.On social media,friends ,families, and complete strangers are sharing beautiful images of the places they’ve been Traveling can be a lot of fun, but it does take money to get on a plane and see the world. ___26___ Here are four expert tips.
Plan ahead. Planning is possibly the most important aspect of any trip. If you want to keep your costs down, you must make a plan. That will allow you to spend the least amount of money to meet your demands when traveling.___27___
___28___When you purchase tickets at least six months in advance, certain airlines offer discounted pricing on their flights. Discounts let you spend less money than you initially planned to, and preparing ahead will help you find the greatest discounts.
Prepare alternative destinations.___29___ When visiting Thailand for instance, you can decide to visit Chiang Mai rather than Phuket or Bangkok.This is due to Chiang Mai’s affordability, cooler climate, and distinctive attractions.
Remember travel insurance. Consider travel insurance as an investment rather than an extra cost. ___30___. Being insured allows you to avoid paying for lost or stolen luggage or medical expenses.
A．Look for discounts.
B．Take free walking tours.

F．Given that you can use it in an emergency,it may save a ton of money in the long run
G．Everything should be planned, such as plane tickets, the hotels and the things you’ll buy.
Traveling means going from one place to another or from one country to another. It is immensely beneficial in many ways. From cutting down on stress to lowering your chances of developing heart disease, the health benefits of traveling are huge. Furthermore, traveling fosters understanding between nations. It is an important factor in establishing world peace. ____31____
Traveling and education both are interrelated. During traveling, a traveler visits different places and comes into contact with people in different regions. Thus it provides the traveler with first-hand knowledge. The knowledge we acquire in schools and colleges is mainly bookish in nature. ____32____ Traveling can remove this gap because true education takes place outside the classroom. Bookish knowledge can be made perfect and meaningful only by traveling.
____33____ The benefit of traveling to a new place is that it forces you to face the unknown and think differently. We have read the majesty of the Himalayas, the vastness of the ocean and the beauty of the Taj Mahal from books. ____34____ It impresses our mind with the vastness, and wonder of nature’s creation. Traveling helps the traveler to know how the wonderful earth is full of natural beauty.
In general, it can be said that traveling essentially has a great educative value. Traveling is adventurous, exciting, and a great stress buster. So, educational institutions of our country should give greater facilities to their students to undertake tours to various places of importance at home and abroad. ____35____ Seeing the world with your own very eyes will give you a better learning experience than any book can provide.
A．Finally, traveling has great educative value.
B．Traveling widens our view and removes our stress.
C．Thus, traveling should be made an essential part of our education.
D．Traveling is to gather experience, and wisdom comes from experience.
E．They seldom go out of their classroom and most have a narrow outlook.
F．But we can know much more of them if we see those with our own eyes.
G．In most cases, theoretical studies have no practical applications in our life.
We often try to save every drop of water in gardening. Yet this summer, over half of the world is experiencing “abnormally dry” weather, which means millions of people are living under drought conditions. ____36____ Here are suggestions for how to keep your garden healthy during periods of dry weather.
Choosing water-saving plants
If you are gardening under water restrictions, decide which plants need water least. Older trees, especially fruit, nut, and even evergreens, can suffer during drought, while newly planted trees require regular watering until their roots become established. ____37____ They can usually get by with less water than crops like corn, which have shallow roots.
Watering effectively
Most plants require an average of 2 to 4 centimeters of water each week under normal conditions. That need could increase, however, during periods of extreme heat, when the soil dries out more quickly. ____38____ Divide it over two or three times per week with less water. Remember deeper, less-frequent watering instead of daily sprinkle helps get the roots really wet. Also avoid watering midday when moisture is likely to disappear before reaching roots.
____39____
Consider using recycled household water, also called gray water, to water plants. Unsalted water left over from boiling eggs or vegetables provides extra nutrients. Dish and bath water that is not too oily will not harm plants.____40____
A．Using fresh clean water.
B．Choosing recycled water.
C．And melons have deep roots.
D．Try to water your plants all at once.
E．Do not water your plants once weekly.
F．And many of the people have plants to worry about.
G．And water from washing fruits and vegetables can be used around the garden.
The Importance of a Morning Routine
As a child I was a well-known night owl(猫头鹰). ___41___ And I would also be in a bad mood throughout the day. It took me around three decades to appreciate the quiet hours of the morning to set the tone for the rest of the day. I have been experiencing a regimen(养生法), called dinacharya, which is a healing daily routine that balances the body and the mind. ___42___ It’s a good idea to wake up a little earlier to fit dinacharya into your schedule. Once you have established a routine, you will wake up naturally without struggling.
Hydrate(补水)when you wake up. Staying hydrated has many benefits right from boosting your mood to improved cognitive performance. ___43___ Lemon helps to kickstart digestion in the morning.
Give your mouth a good brush. Brush your teeth with an eco-friendly toothbrush, one of the heroes of your zero-waste bathroom. And instead of using single-use toothpaste, a great switch is toothpaste tablets. ___44___
I find the morning hours perfect for meditation(沉思)and give my body a good stretch before getting ready for the day. Meditating for a quarter-hour in the morning helps me gather my thoughts. Create a peaceful place by picking a sustainable meditation cushion(垫子)and warm up with some slow stretches on an eco-friendly yoga mat so that you’re charged for the day.
___45___ It is a wonderful way to slowly set the wheels in motion for a busy day.
A．My dinacharya is an effortless part of my life now.
B．Studying or reading late till night made me wake up sleepy.
C．A few years ago, I tried to experiment with a morning routine.

Basic tips to help us truly get into poetry
____46____. In school, we are usually told that the way to engage with a poem is by trying to understand it and be able to write an essay about it. Actually, that keeps us from really developing personal relationships with poetry.
Don’t worry about getting the right answer.____47____, we still put pressure on ourselves to answer some unanswerable questions about what the poet was trying to say. Don’t do it!
Read it out aloud. We have to remember that poetry is an oral art form before anything else and that oral tradition has been with us for thousands and thousands of years. So a lot of information can be gained from reading poems out aloud.____48____: Enjoying every word and every syllable, trying out the shapes of the word in our mouths, or acting like we’re explaining something really difficult to someone else.
Visualize the poem. A poem might offer us a lot of images, but there are plenty of blanks to fill.____49____! Think of the poem like it’s a movie or a play and we’re the director and keep asking ourselves, “What kind of setting is there If there’s light, what kind of light would it be Would it be indoors or outdoors ”____50____. Again, keep in mind the first two tips: this isn’t school, and there isn’t a single answer. What we see is what we see.
A．So go ahead and fill them
B．Don’t listen to our teachers
C．Even when there’re no formal graded tests
D．Don’t approach poetry like it’s taught in school
E．Even if we cannot use such visualizing aids properly

My Favorite Money Saving Tips
One of the things that many folks want to do is better money habits. I’m pretty good about my saving, and fairly responsible in my spending. So as many of you all probably want to “save more money” or “spend less money”, I wanted to share my saving tips with you.
Manage your debt. ____11____ If you have credit card debt, pay this down before you start doing any other savings. If you have several cards with debt, try the laddering technique. Start by paying down your debt on the highest interest card you have. Once that balance is at zero, go to the next highest percent card and so on.
____12____ Life can throw at you unexpected expenses that can easily add up quickly. One of your main savings goals should be to build an emergency fund. You should have ready-to-go-in liquid cash, 6-9 months of living expenses for a rainy day. ____13____ But don’t invest the money. Make sure you can access this money in an absolute emergency.
Spend your cash. Seems crazy but it’s true! This is especially helpful to those who tend to be impulsive (冲动的) shoppers. Figure out your monthly budget, and divide it by 4. Add this amount to your wallet each week and only spend the cash. ____14____ Studies have shown that you are less likely to break large bills or to spend less cash when you have to physically pull the cash out.
Keep your extra cash in a high yield savings account. Though it’s rare to find a bank that provides a large interest rate on savings, right now you can get 0.5% and 0.1 to 0.25% on checking. ____15____
A．Get an emergency fund.
B．Avoid unnecessary expenses.
C．Don’t touch the credit cards.
D．You must make this a priority.
E．But remember to check it from time to time.
F．It’s a great way to add a little extra income to your money.
G．This amount should be kept in your high-yield savings account.
Statistics prove that we’re not the best at sticking to New Year’s resolutions. ____16____It turns out you can. Here are some strategies to get your body — and your finances — into shape.
●____17____
Umber Eats or Deliver brings food to your door with almost zero effort on your part but plenty of pressure on your pocket. Remove them from your phone and you’re less likely to overeat a two-large-pizzas-and-garlic-bread meal deal for dinner — and think of all that money you’ll save!
● Store up.
By shopping for fresh food and the makings of a healthy meal in your fridge, you’ll save money and excess (过量的) kilograms because chances are you won’t order last-minute takeaways.____18____In this way, you’ll be cleaning up your eating and your spending at the same time.
● Small steps add up.
____19____Getting rid of unhealthy habits like that doughnut with your coffee will help shave off excess weight over time. Apply that thinking to your savings, too. You might think that unless you can put away a serious part of your income that it’s not worth it. Not so. Even depositing as little as $10-20 each pay into a savings account will add up over time.
● Block it.
You can plan to limit your access to processed foods by stocking mainly healthy foods, and making those foods the first thing you see when you open the fridge.____20____Putting a block or limit on an account to help restrict spending is similar to putting a lock on the cookie jar.
A．Don’t skip meals.
B．Delete food delivery apps.
C．The same applies to money.
D．Have healthy meals at home instead.
E．Minor day-to-day decisions have a huge impact on weight loss.

G．But what if you could target your diet and financial goals with the one resolution
Basketball is a team sport, and a good pass is very important. The pass is the action of moving the ball to create scoring opportunities. The pass calls for self-sacrifice for the greater good of the team. ____21____ The following are some kinds of it.
The chest pass is a quick and accurate pass from the chest of the passer to the receiver. ____22____ You should extend your arms in a quick motion to pass the ball with palms facing outwards and thumbs facing the player you passed to. This is called follow-through.
____23____ It is relatively easy to steal, but an effective way of starting a fast break. Place your hands on both sides of the ball and bring the ball behind your head. Use your upper body strength to make the pass and follow-through.
In a bounce pass, the ball is bounced from the floor before reaching the receiver of the pass. The ball should bounce from that spot to arrive at your receiver above the knee and below the chest. ____24____
A baseball pass is best used for long distance passes. ____25____ It is especially useful during fast breaks. Place the ball high above the knee of your head with your passing hand behind it and the other under the ball. Throw the ball with an overhand arm thrust(猛推).
Practice these passes and you are sure to become an offensive threat on the court.
A．Power comes from the legs.

From cutting down on stress to lowering your chances of developing heart disease, the health benefits of traveling are huge. Furthermore, traveling fosters understanding between nations. It is an important factor in establishing world peace. ____31____
Traveling and education both are interrelated. During traveling, a traveler visits different places and comes into contact with people in different regions. Thus it provides the traveler with first-hand knowledge. The knowledge we acquire in schools and colleges is mainly bookish in nature. ____32____ Traveling can remove this gap because true education takes place outside the classroom. Bookish knowledge can be made perfect and meaningful only by traveling.

We have read the majesty of the Himalayas, the vastness of the ocean and the beauty of the Taj Mahal from books. ____34____ It impresses our mind with the vastness, and wonder of nature’s creation. Traveling helps the traveler to know how the wonderful earth is full of natural beauty.

We often try to save every drop of water in gardening. Yet this summer, over half of the world is experiencing “abnormally dry” weather, which means millions of people are living under drought conditions. ____36____ Here are suggestions for how to keep your garden healthy during periods of dry weather.
Choosing water-saving plants
If you are gardening under water restrictions, decide which plants need water least. Older trees, especially fruit, nut, and even evergreens, can suffer during drought, while newly planted trees require regular watering until their roots become established. ____37____ They can usually get by with less water than crops like corn, which have shallow roots.
Watering effectively
Most plants require an average of 2 to 4 centimeters of water each week under normal conditions. That need could increase, however, during periods of extreme heat, when the soil dries out more quickly. ____38____ Divide it over two or three times per week with less water. Remember deeper, less-frequent watering instead of daily sprinkle helps get the roots really wet. Also avoid watering midday when moisture is likely to disappear before reaching roots.
____39____
Consider using recycled household water, also called gray water, to water plants. Unsalted water left over from boiling eggs or vegetables provides extra nutrients. Dish and bath water that is not too oily will not harm plants.____40____

As a child I was a well-known night owl(猫头鹰). ___41___ And I would also be in a bad mood throughout the day. It took me around three decades to appreciate the quiet hours of the morning to set the tone for the rest of the day. I have been experiencing a regimen(养生法), called dinacharya, which is a healing daily routine that balances the body and the mind. ___42___ It’s a good idea to wake up a little earlier to fit dinacharya into your schedule. Once you have established a routine, you will wake up naturally without struggling.
Hydrate(补水)when you wake up. Staying hydrated has many benefits right from boosting your mood to improved cognitive performance. ___43___ Lemon helps to kickstart digestion in the morning.
Give your mouth a good brush. Brush your teeth with an eco-friendly toothbrush, one of the heroes of your zero-waste bathroom. And instead of using single-use toothpaste, a great switch is toothpaste tablets. ___44___
I find the morning hours perfect for meditation(沉思)and give my body a good stretch before getting ready for the day. Meditating for a quarter-hour in the morning helps me gather my thoughts. Create a peaceful place by picking a sustainable meditation cushion(垫子)and warm up with some slow stretches on an eco-friendly yoga mat so that you’re charged for the day.

Basic tips to help us truly get into poetry
____46____. In school, we are usually told that the way to engage with a poem is by trying to understand it and be able to write an essay about it. Actually, that keeps us from really developing personal relationships with poetry.
Don’t worry about getting the right answer.____47____, we still put pressure on ourselves to answer some unanswerable questions about what the poet was trying to say. Don’t do it!
Read it out aloud. We have to remember that poetry is an oral art form before anything else and that oral tradition has been with us for thousands and thousands of years.

Visualize the poem. A poem might offer us a lot of images, but there are plenty of blanks to fill.____49____! Think of the poem like it’s a movie or a play and we’re the director and keep asking ourselves, “What kind of setting is there If there’s light, what kind of light would it be Would it be indoors or outdoors ”____50____. Again, keep in mind the first two tips: this isn’t school, and there isn’t a single answer. What we see is what we see.

38．根据上文“Most plants require an average of 2 to 4 centimeters of water each week under normal conditions. That need could increase, however, during periods of extreme heat, when the soil dries out more quickly.(在正常条件下，大多数植物每周平均需要2-4厘米的水。然而，在极端炎热的时期，当土壤干得更快时，这种需求可能会增加)”和下文“Divide it over two or three times per week with less water. Remember deeper, less-frequent watering instead of daily sprinkle helps get the roots really wet. (每周分两到三次，用较少的水。记住，更深层、更少频率的浇水，而不是每天喷洒，可以让根部真正湿润)”可知，在极端炎热的天气下植物更需要水，且下文指出浇水的频率应该减少。由此可知，空处指出尽量一次把所有植物都浇完。D项“试着同时给你的植物浇水”符合文意。故选D。

So a lot of information can be gained from reading poems out aloud.(大声读出来。我们必须记住，诗歌是一种口头艺术形式先于其他任何形式，口头传统已经与我们一起数千年了。因此，从大声朗读诗歌中可以获得很多信息)”以及后文“Enjoying every word and every syllable, trying out the shapes of the word in our mouths, or acting like we’re explaining something really difficult to someone else.(享受每一个词和每一个音节，在嘴里尝试词的形状，或者假装我们在向别人解释非常困难的事情)”结合本段的主旨是大声朗读诗歌可知，空处建议大声朗读诗歌。G选项中reading a poem对应上文中Read it out aloud.。故G选项“作为练习，我们可以试着用各种方法大声朗读一首诗”符合语境，故选G。
49．根据上文“Visualize the poem. A poem might offer us a lot of images, but there are plenty of blanks to fill.(想象这首诗。一首诗可以给我们提供许多意象，但也有许多空白需要填补)”可知，上文提到去填补意象的空白，A选项中fill them对应上文中plenty of blanks to fill。故A选项“所以去把它们填满吧”符合语境，故选A。
50．根据上文“Think of the poem like it’s a movie or a play and we’re the director and keep asking ourselves, “What kind of setting is there If there’s light, what kind of light would it be Would it be indoors or outdoors ”(把这首诗想象成电影或戏剧，我们是导演，不断问自己，“这首诗的背景是什么样的？如果有光，会是什么样的光？是在室内还是在室外？”)”以及后文“Again, keep in mind the first two tips: this isn't school, and there isn’t a single answer. What we see is what we see.(再次强调，记住前两点：这里不是学校，没有唯一的答案。我们所看到的就是我们所看到的)”可知，上文列举了对诗歌的具体想象，故本句承接上文说明其作用：帮助我们从这首诗中获得很多信息。故F选项“这些脑图将帮助我们从这首诗中获得很多信息”符合语境，故选F。
