We are often told by our parents not to spend more than we have. It seems that the people who run several big US companies never learned that lesson.
Over the past years, a number of the US banks have gone out of business. Millions of people have lost their money. Thousands of workers have lost their jobs. The financial crisis(金融危机) that began in 2007 has taken a turn for the worse.
Experts say that the crisis was caused by banks lending too much money. With rising oil prices and falling house prices, many people and companies who borrowed money have found themselves unable to pay it back. This has left the banks out of pockets.
However, the financial storm in the US is now affecting the rest of the world. If so, China will be one of the first countries to be hurt. No country has lent more than China to the US now. Moreover, the US is one of the largest buyers of Chinese goods. China will suffer a great loss (遭受巨大损失) if Americans have less money in pockets to spend on Chinese goods.
( ) 1. The beginning of the financial crisis were
______.
A. last week B. in 2007 C. last month D. over the past weeks
( ) 2. The phrase “taken a turn for the worse” in the second paragraph means “______”.

( ) 3. People can't pay back the money they borrowed from the banks because ______.
A. they wouldn't like to pay it back B. oil prices have risen
C. house prices have fallen down D. Both B and C
( ) 4. ______ has lent the most money to the US.
A. China B. France C. Japan D. Canada
( ) 5. From the passage, we can learn ______.

Malia and Sasha will soon have to make new friends at school. “I don't think they'll get left out of anything,” said Carol Weston, at Girls' Life magazine, “But you want to feel you're invited because you're you, not because of the White House.”

Should teenagers go out with their friends on weekends?
Yesterday I had a discussion with my parents about whether teenagers should go out with their friends on weekends. My parents think that teenagers should stay at home to do some revision and have a good sleep. They should also help parents do housework. I think we teenagers should go out with our friends for fun so that we can relax. We can also share ideas with each other, and we can take some exercise together to keep healthy.
