Did you know the meaning of a word may change over time Many English words we know now had different meanings a long time ago. One example is the word nice.
Around the year 1300, nice was first used in English to mean “stupid”. Two hundred years later, nice began to carry a “better” meaning. If people said a book was written nicely, they meant the book was written “clearly” or “carefully”, not “stupidly”. After 1800, nice began to take its meaning like “kind” or “friendly”. Since then, people have thought of nice as a word with good meanings.
A good change of a word’s meaning like this example of nice is called AMELIORATION. Though we don’t use nice to mean “stupid” any more, it is fun to know how much a word’s meaning can change from its start!
For more examples of AMELIORATION, see next page.
31. 1300 years ago, a “nice person” was believed to be_________.
A. carefully B. friendly C. clever D. stupid
32. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. What nice used to mean. B. How the meaning of nice changed over time.
C. How long nice has been used . D. Why the meaning of nice changed.
33. AMELIORATION means a word’s meaning_____.
A. changes from bad to good B. can change from its start
C. changes from good to bad D. remains the same over a long time

Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation for example, it was my six-year-old son’s winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York，So I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.
The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh
Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.
I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.
I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.
34. Why did Delta give the author's family credits
A. They had early bookings. B. They took a later flight.
C. Their flight had been delayed. D. Their flight had been cancelled.
35. What can we learn about the author
A. She seldom makes a compromise. B. She rarely misses a good deal.
C. She is very strict with her children. D. She is interested in cheap products.
36. What does the author do
A. She's a teacher. B. She's a media person.
C. She's a housewife. D. She's a businesswoman.
37. What does the author want to tell us
A. How to expose bad tricks. B. How to reserve airline seats.
C. How to make a business deal. D. How to spend money wisely.

Long long ago, there lived in Greece a king named Midas. He was a greedy man and loved gold better than anything else in the world.
One day, he asked a god to give him more gold. The god decided to punish him and said, “Your wish is granted already. Everything you touch will turn to gold.”
Midas was very happy when he heard this. The next morning, he got up early to test his skill. When he touched his bed, it turned to gold. “Gold!” cried Midas, laughing like a little boy, “ It works!”
Not only stones, flowers and the furniture in his house turned to gold, but, when he sat down to table, so did the food he ate and the water he drank. He was unhappy now. Just then his daughter ran up to him. Midas touched her hand. At once she became a gold statue(雕像)!
At last, he begged the god to free him from his wish. “Go to the river and bathe in it,” the god said. So Midas did, and the water took away his golden touch.

It’s not easy being a teenager ---nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager．You can make your child feel angry, hurt or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself．It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’11 still be there for him when he needs you．
Expect a lot from your child，just not everything．Except for health and safety problems， such as drug use or careless driving，consider everything else open to discussion．If your child is unwilling to discuss something，don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind．The more you insist， the more likely that he’11 clam up．Instead，let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time，remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help．Show respect for your teenager’s privacy．Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations．
Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long，tell him he can talk for l5 minutes，but then he must stay off the phone for at least all equal period of time．This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls，but teaches your teenager moderation(节制).Or if you are open to the idea，allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job．

I am writing this story because it is not too late for me to talk to my parents. I realized this last night when visiting their house while they were away. I went to freshen it up for their return, and being at their house without them home made me sad.
As I went into their bedroom, I saw little reminders of them--- some Christmas gifts still in boxes and family photos that must have a special meaning to them. What took my breath away was seeing my dad’s medals from his military service to our country.
My father never talked about the war. As I looked at those medals hanging proudly with all the photos that he treasures, I realized that this was an important part of his life, and I never took the time to talk with him about it. The photos of my mom with friends made me realize that she had a life before she was “my mom”. My life has been so busy in raising my own family that I missed experiencing who my parents were.
I am grateful to have both of my parents. I still have time to talk… I hope that others will benefit from my story and find the time to really talk to those in their life that mean so much to them，such as their parents.
