5．The day I got accepted into NYU，I was too excited to fall asleep．All of my hard work had finally paid off．I wanted to become a filmmaker，so NYU Tisch was basically the best thing that could have happened to me．
But I turned it down．
It all started when I took a gap year．I was offered the opportunity to study abroad in a gap year program，so NYU was on hold and I set sail for my year off．When I returned home，nothing felt the same．
First of all，I started to realize that my dream might not be worth the cost．NYU is expensive．Did I really want to take on such severe debt just for a degree in film？
In February of 2014，I formally withdrew my acceptance from NYU and started the college application process all over again．
Luckily，I was accepted to a few small art schools closer to home．So，here I am today，studying English at a college in a quiet town by the beach．
This school is definitely less challenging than a more elite （精英） school would have been，but The New York Times argues that that can work to my advantage．I'm more likely to graduate at the top of my class in this environment，thus leading to more job opportunities in the future．
I won't say that I don't think about what my life would have been like at NYU．I do．All the time．Sometimes with sadness，but never with regret．
So don't be afraid to change your mind．There's strength in recognizing when something doesn't feel right．Don't believe the view about having to attend the most celebrated college in order to lead a successful life．Studies show that if you're a good student，what school you attend doesn't really matter at all．College is a match to be made，not a prize to be won．

29．Why did the author turn down NYU？D
A．He wanted to take a gap year program．
B．He didn't like the major he had chosen．
C．He decided to work rather than go to college．
D．He felt attending NYU wouldn't be worth the debt．
30．What did the author major in at last？C
A．Environmental protection．
B．Film making．
C．Language．
D．Art．
31．What might be the author's； opinion？C
A．Good students should attend a good university．
B．Only famous schools can give you a better future．
C．The best university is not necessarily the best choice．
D．A chance to attend a good university is worth anything．

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：普通高等學(xué)校招生2017年全國(guó)統(tǒng)一考試（終極押題卷1）英語(yǔ)試卷 題型：閱讀理解

Parents do need to teach their kids financial responsibility and that money is earned.Still,many child-development experts agree that tying a child's allowance to chores can be a slippery slope.Here's why.

Susie Walton,master instructor at Peace in Your Home advises to keep chores and allowances totally separate. "Allowance is one thing.When it comes to chores,life skills,responsibilities-that's a whole different thing." says Walton.

Walton says, "When kids aren't doing a chore,you don't say, 'Well,there goes your allowance.' You're going to sit them down and ask what's going on. 'We are a team.We are a family.We've got to have them done.' "

Besides,by paying children for chores with an allowance,you'll also be sending the message that work isn't worth doing unless they're getting paid for it.

There are times when it would make sense to pay kids for chores.Most financial and child-development experts agree that it's a fine idea to pay children money for extra jobs that are outside their normal set of chores,such as washing windows,washing the car or helping to clean out the garage-especially if the child is saving for a big item. This may even develop an entrepreneurial（企業(yè)家的）spirit to think outside of the box to earn money.

For parents who are concerned that their children won't learn the value of a dollar if the allowance isn't tied to household chores,note that there are still plenty of money management skills to be learned from a straight allowance. Depending on the age,kids can be made responsible for paying for their own toys or snacks.Some parents even require that kids set aside a percentage of their allowance toward savings.

"I really like having my own money," says Kevin,9. "It's up to me if I want to buy the cheap toy now,or save and get the better toy." And that's a good lesson to learn at 9 years old.

No matter which allowance route you take in parenthood,kids will feel empowered by being able to handle their own money.

1.According to Susie Walton,parents should________.

A. teach kids the value of work

B. pay kids allowances after they finish chores

C. separate chores from allowances completely

D. tell kids to take responsibility for earning money

2.Which of the following would most financial and child-development experts agree with?

A. A kid's allowance should be tied to all the chores.

B. Kids can be paid allowances for their extra jobs that are outside their normal set of chores.

C. Kids should be paid allowances to develop their entrepreneurial spirits.

D. Kids should be taught to think outside of the box.

3.What does the author think of Kevin's action?

A. He approved of what Kevin said.

B. He didn't give any opinion about Kevin's action.

C. He thought it proper for a boy of 9 to buy cheap toys.

D. He worried about Kevin's action.

4.What's the main idea of the text?

A. Parents should not give kids allowances.

B. Whether kids should do chores at home.

C. Whether kids should keep allowances for later use.

D. Whether parents should pay kids for chores.

The Internet has become part of teenage life. There’s a report on 3,375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities. It says that 38 percent of them believe they use the Internet often. While most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies, some are not using it in a good way. Many are playing online games too much. A few even visit websites they should not look at. Bad things can happen if young people spend too much time on the Internet.

In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior has started to be used in some Shanghai middle schools this term. It uses real examples to teach students all about good ways of using the Internet. It gives useful advice such as it’s good to read news or find helpful information to study. Some students also make online friends. But if you are meeting a friend offline, let your parents know.
