14.One afternoon,after finishing shopping in a supermarket,my family and I went to the checkout.I suddenly thought we didn't need any of the junk,and we abandoned all of those,saving $300.
That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life.With a promise that we'd stop if it was killing us,I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality(節(jié)儉).The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolutely essentials.
Our adventure began with a great start.By 9 a.m.,my wife,Ruth,had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn't even know we had in the garden.I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years.I read and returned the neighbor's newspaper before he woke up.Total spending on the first day:$0.
As days turned into weeks,we became so proficient(熟練的)at living frugally.We started riding our bikes to save gas.My child's finger painting was recycled as gift wrap for the homemade presents.We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs.
 In the end,we saved more than $2000 by not spending for a month.When we began,I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buy a lot of things in the supermarket,then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies.

21.We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon,the familyC.
A.had had higher income
B.had had a good habit of saving money
C.had often spent money without thinking much
D.hadn't realized they would have met financial problems

A.Two                           
B.Three                          
C.Four                          
D.Five
23.The end of the story tells the readers that the familyD
A.stopped halfway                                                                     
B.couldn't stand the life of frugality
C.would make up for missing the junk after the"30 days"
D.succeeded in saving in the end
24.This passage is mainly aboutB.
A.how a family managed their daily life
B.a(chǎn) family's no-buying try
C.a(chǎn) family's way of solving life problems
D.how a new idea came up.

5.How to Be a Pleasant Person
Each of us would love to be appreciated for the positive emotions that are exhibited around our surroundings.(31)CThe following steps will help you to be a pleasant person.
Be modest.Understand that we all are humans.You might be rich or poor,black or white,short or tall etc.But above all we are all humans,which means we are all emotional beings.So treat others the way you would like to be treated.
(32)B By offering a seat to an elderly person or throwing the football back to the young child,the inner self-satisfaction you get is priceless.Once you do so,you will feel good about yourself.
Don't regret.We all are reasonable beings and it is very human to do unreasonable things at times.However,it does not mean that we should regret what we did in the past.Every experience is a lesson which teaches you what to do and what not to do in future.(33)D
Forgive and forget.Always living in the past will only make one painful on the inside,which will reflect on the outside.(34)E By doing so,your heart becomes light.
Be grateful.Thank God and the Universe for yourself,your parents,your friends,your clothes,jobs,food,home etc.And every small thing makes a difference.(35)F It will make you appreciate life.

A.Be inspired.
B.Be helpful.
C.Little do we know that it is not a hard task at all.
D.So be proud that you have learnt a lesson on your own.
E.To have a pleasant emotion around you,it is better to let go.
F.If possible,express your gratefulness for something every day.
G.Throw flowers at others if you wish flowers to be thrown at you.
