"What is success " Mr Gruber asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.
"Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms." One student answered, earning laughs from all the students.
Mr Gruber smiled, but shook his head. "Tom, that is excess (过量). That is not success."
"How about being able to provide for your family " A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.
"Now we're getting closer," Mr Gruber smiled, "but try thinking about what you need and what you want."
"Getting everything you want." Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.
Mr Gruber sighed. " I believe we've already talked about excess versus (与…比较) success."
"Getting everything you need, but some of what you want " James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.
"Quite right!" Mr Gruber clapped. "Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though."
"What does this have to do with business " Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn't funny, he wasn't happy.
"Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want."
"What if I don't have a family " he continued to be difficult.
"Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one."
"He has goldfish to think about!" Peter, Tom's friend, shouted out.
"Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl." Mr. Gruber corrected himself.
Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.
"So in the next nine weeks, we're going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards."
Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending ”
"You already are, Tom. You're spending time with us!" Mr. Gruber laughed. "Now, let's see what you guys know about credit cards…"

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的选项中，选择最佳选项。
The sun is shining, the weather is perfect, and the pool is ready for guests. It's important that your swimming pool meets all safety guidelines to protect guests better.
No matter what you might have heard or been told before, the pool owner must provide a safe environment for both children and adults who use the pool, as well as for people who live nearby.
Different from what we usually think, most accidental drowning (溺水) cases happen when the pool is not actively used. That's a terrible fact, but the good news is that you can take a few steps to create the safest environment possible, whether you're at home or away.
● Clean up the pool after pool time
● Provide non-slip (防滑的) surfaces around the pool area
● Install and fix a pool cover when the pool is not in use
● Require that children use the pool while supervised (监管)
● Show a proper pool sign with rules, like
● No lifeguard on duty ● No diving in 4-inch letters (for pools larger than 200 square feet) ● Pool hours: _____ a.m. to _____ p.m. ● Bathing load: _____ persons
(1) Who should provide a pool sign with rules
A．adults B．children C．pool owners D．lifeguards
(2) What can we learn from the passage
A．The pool cover is not necessary.
B．We can clean up the pool any time.
C．Children can't swim in the pool alone.
D．Most accidents happen when the pool is used.
(3) What is the passage mainly about
A．swimming time B．swimming safety
C．where to swim D．how to swim

We've probably all met someone who likes to show off about where he or she has been. To some people, traveling is all about how many places one has been to. But luckily, the old "been there, seen that" mode is changing.
Last year's travel trend (趋势) was "experiential travel". This is where tourists look for ways to get to know local culture and meet local people so they feel less like an outsider.
So what about this year Can creative tourists get even more out of their traveling experience
Transformative travel
Transformative (起改变作用的) travel is much like "experiential travel", but takes it a step further.
It usually goes through three steps—you go to a place that has a very different background from where you live, you learn wisdom from the new culture and the people you meet, and finally you go back home and use the knowledge in your own lives. This last step is how the "transformation" is completed and what separates transformative travel from experiential travel.
Go green
One way to plan a green trip is to travel a shorter distance, which can reduce your carbon footprint (碳排放量). "One trans-Atlantic flight equals a year's worth of driving, so taking a trip in this way can help protect the environment," suggested Warren, according to US News.
Another way to go green in your travel plans is to choose a place that will be helped most from your trip. For example, places like Nepal will enjoy an increase in its local economy (经济) through the trip.
Disappearing sights
Some sights at risk of disappearing are also welcoming an increasing number of tourists.
Everett Potter, a USA Today writer, says that the Arctic and Antarctic have attracted (吸引) more and more tourists since they are being greatly influenced by climate (气候) change.
Another top sight is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It's believed that the reef will be seriously harmed in just a few years because of pollution and global warming. Travelers look forward to seeing the coral (珊瑚) "before it's gone or completely changed", Potter told US News.
The changing _____ trends
Before To some people, traveling means the _____ of places they have been to.
Last year Experiential travel Tourists look for ways to better understand the local culture so they can be _____ like local people.
This year Transformative travel ● Going to a place _____ a different background. ● Learning wisdom from the new culture and people. ● _____ home and using the knowledge in your own lives .
Go green ● One way is to travel _____ to your home. It can reduce your carbon footprint. ● Another way is to choose a place which will get the most _____ through the trip.
_____ sights ● The Arctic and Antarctic have become more and more _____ because of climate change. ● Travelers _____ to see the coral before it is gone or completely changed.
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项
In today's world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect (影响) on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn't mean more happiness.
If money was everything, all millionaires (百万富翁) would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.
But can love be bought I'm afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious (宝贵的) things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money The answer is "No".
Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can't be bought either. In a word, where money is worshiped (崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel (争吵), lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.
(1) According to the passage, which of the following do you think is right
A．Money is everything.
B．Money isn't necessary.
C．Money is important, but not the most important.
D．With no money, with no success.
(2) What are the most precious things for every person according to the writer's ideas
A．Only money. B．Health and a long life.

B．You may live a long life even if you are poor.
C．Every year many people die in the world because their family is poor.
D．If you are rich, you will have true friendship.
(4) In fact, all millionaires _____.
A．have much money B．die earlier
C．love their money D．have true love
(5) What does the sentence "Love means to give, not to take." mean in the passage

"What is success " Mr Gruber asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.
"Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms." One student answered, earning laughs from all the students.
Mr Gruber smiled, but shook his head. "Tom, that is excess (过量). That is not success."
"How about being able to provide for your family " A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.
"Now we're getting closer," Mr Gruber smiled, "but try thinking about what you need and what you want."
"Getting everything you want." Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.
Mr Gruber sighed. " I believe we've already talked about excess versus (与…比较) success."
"Getting everything you need, but some of what you want " James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.
"Quite right!" Mr Gruber clapped. "Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though."
"What does this have to do with business " Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn't funny, he wasn't happy.
"Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want."
"What if I don't have a family " he continued to be difficult.
"Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one."
"He has goldfish to think about!" Peter, Tom's friend, shouted out.
"Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl." Mr. Gruber corrected himself.
Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.
"So in the next nine weeks, we're going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards."
Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending ”
"You already are, Tom. You're spending time with us!" Mr. Gruber laughed. "Now, let's see what you guys know about credit cards…"

The sun is shining, the weather is perfect, and the pool is ready for guests. It's important that your swimming pool meets all safety guidelines to protect guests better.
No matter what you might have heard or been told before, the pool owner must provide a safe environment for both children and adults who use the pool, as well as for people who live nearby.
Different from what we usually think, most accidental drowning (溺水) cases happen when the pool is not actively used. That's a terrible fact, but the good news is that you can take a few steps to create the safest environment possible, whether you're at home or away.
● Clean up the pool after pool time
● Provide non-slip (防滑的) surfaces around the pool area
● Install and fix a pool cover when the pool is not in use
● Require that children use the pool while supervised (监管)
● Show a proper pool sign with rules, like
● No lifeguard on duty ● No diving in 4-inch letters (for pools larger than 200 square feet) ● Pool hours: _____ a.m. to _____ p.m. ● Bathing load: _____ persons
(1) Who should provide a pool sign with rules

A．The pool cover is not necessary.
B．We can clean up the pool any time.

We've probably all met someone who likes to show off about where he or she has been. To some people, traveling is all about how many places one has been to. But luckily, the old "been there, seen that" mode is changing.
Last year's travel trend (趋势) was "experiential travel". This is where tourists look for ways to get to know local culture and meet local people so they feel less like an outsider.
So what about this year Can creative tourists get even more out of their traveling experience
Transformative travel
Transformative (起改变作用的) travel is much like "experiential travel", but takes it a step further.
It usually goes through three steps—you go to a place that has a very different background from where you live, you learn wisdom from the new culture and the people you meet, and finally you go back home and use the knowledge in your own lives. This last step is how the "transformation" is completed and what separates transformative travel from experiential travel.
Go green
One way to plan a green trip is to travel a shorter distance, which can reduce your carbon footprint (碳排放量). "One trans-Atlantic flight equals a year's worth of driving, so taking a trip in this way can help protect the environment," suggested Warren, according to US News.
Another way to go green in your travel plans is to choose a place that will be helped most from your trip. For example, places like Nepal will enjoy an increase in its local economy (经济) through the trip.
Disappearing sights
Some sights at risk of disappearing are also welcoming an increasing number of tourists.
Everett Potter, a USA Today writer, says that the Arctic and Antarctic have attracted (吸引) more and more tourists since they are being greatly influenced by climate (气候) change.
Another top sight is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It's believed that the reef will be seriously harmed in just a few years because of pollution and global warming. Travelers look forward to seeing the coral (珊瑚) "before it's gone or completely changed", Potter told US News.
The changing _____ trends
Before To some people, traveling means the _____ of places they have been to.
Last year Experiential travel Tourists look for ways to better understand the local culture so they can be _____ like local people.
This year Transformative travel ● Going to a place _____ a different background. ● Learning wisdom from the new culture and people. ● _____ home and using the knowledge in your own lives .
Go green ● One way is to travel _____ to your home. It can reduce your carbon footprint. ● Another way is to choose a place which will get the most _____ through the trip.
_____ sights ● The Arctic and Antarctic have become more and more _____ because of climate change. ● Travelers _____ to see the coral before it is gone or completely changed.
