One night, the first floor of the house suddenly caught fire. The fire was big, and soon became a sea of fire. On the second floor lived a little girl and her grandmother; the little girl’s parents had died, and she lived together with her grandma. In order to rescue the little girl, the grandmother was burned to death, leaving the little girl crying for help loudly.

How could people enter the house? At the very moment, a man carrying a ladder rushed to the flames and got into the window. When he appeared again in the eyes of the people, the little girl was in his arms. He gave the child to the crowd, and then disappeared into the night.

At this time, a man, through the crowd, walked straight in front of the little girl, and opened his arms for the little girl. People were puzzled, and they found that the man had terrible scars on his arms.

They like using the Internet. They have lots of pocket money to spend. And they spend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us. Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buy－games, CDs and clothing－are easily sold on the Web.

But paying online is a troublesome business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards. Most have to use a parent’s card. They want a facility that allows them to spend money.

That may come sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cyber (網(wǎng)絡(luò)的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, these products can stimulate online sales.

In general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the US last year and ￡20bn annually in the UK. Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school－88 percent in the US, 69 percent in the UK. According to the Jupiter Research, one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something online－mainly CDs and books.

In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children. Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing them to spend on the high street. They are more likely to ask “Why?” if you ask to spend some money online.

One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cyber cash is through prepaid cards such as Internet Cash in the US and Smart cards in the UK. Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such as￡20 or $50 with a concealed 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.

1.What does the word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Sellers. B. Buyers.

C. Teenagers. D. Parents.

2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. More than half of the teenagers in the US and the UK have Internet access.

B. Teenagers pay for goods online with their own credit cards.

C. Most teenagers in the US and the UK have bought something online.

D. Teenagers found it easier to persuade parents to buy online than in a shop.

3.New way to help teenagers shop online is to use ______.

A. a new machine

B. special coins and notes

C. prepaid cards

D. pay-as-you-go mobile phones

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Online shopping traps.

B. Internet users in the US and the UK.

C. New credit cards for parents.

D. The arrival of cyber pocket money.

Dress codes cause us arguments

The first day of school is always a chaotic(混亂的) time. For many students in the US, this year was even more so. It was all due to one extra school policy. They are now required to wear clothes that meet a new standardized dress code(規(guī)范).

According to the handbooks of all high schools in Allentown, Pennsylvania, students must wear short or long sleeve polo shirts and khaki(卡其色的) or black pants. Skinny jeans, leggings(緊身褲), and open toe shoes are not allowed.

Allentown schools are not alone. Overall, about 57 percent of American public schools now have a “strict dress code”, up from more than 47 percent a decade earlier, said USA Today.

Some students don’t mind wearing a similar attire(服裝) every day. “It takes away the daily fashion show and helps level the playing fields a little bit with the haves and have-nots,” longtime school safety consultant Ken Trump told USA Today.

But others aren’t happy, claiming that uniforms rob students of individuality(個性).

While school uniforms have been a popular topic to discuss recently in the US, however, in the UK there are much fewer questions about them-they are a tradition.

School uniforms in England were first introduced during the reign(統(tǒng)治) of King Henry VIII in the 16th century. They became popular following the Elementary Education Act of 1870. The UK Department of Education’s website states: “The Department strongly encourages schools to have a uniform as it can…contribute to the beliefs of a school and set the correct tone.

The uniform is now a strong part of school culture in the UK. Schools sometimes even have “Mufti”(便服) days on which students can wear their own clothes if they make a small donation(捐贈) to charity.

However, the tradition does not mean that school uniforms are popular there.

Many “children hate them”, according to Aisha on the BBC Newsround website. Ask UK students why they wear a school uniform and their answer will mostly likely be, “because we have to”.

1. We can infer from the first three paragraphs that ________.

A. there is a strict standardized dress code in most American public schools

B. the high schools in Allentown, Pennsylvania have the strictest dress code in the US

C. there has been a growing trend of strict dress codes in US high schools in the last decade

D. the new standardized dress code in Allentown’s high schools was put forward by teachers and parents

2. We can learn from the article that students’ attitudes towards dress codes are _____

A. negative B. divided

C. supportive D. doubtful

3.What does paragraph 7 mainly talk about?

A. The popularity of school uniforms in the UK.

B. The history and tradition of school uniforms in the UK.

C. The benefits of promoting school uniforms in the UK.

D. The UK Department of Education’s requirements on school uniforms.

4.According to the article, on Mufti days, students in some UK schools ______.

A. are required to make a donation to charity

B. can vote to choose their own school uniforms

C. can wear their own clothes if they contribute to charity

D. are allowed to wear whatever they like for the morning

Parents have widely different views on the problem of pocket money. Four new fathers were asked this question and this is how they answered.

Ashish Khanna: Although many argue that pocket money helps develop children’s sense of value, I don’t agree. I wouldn’t give my child any pocket money. First of all, I never got pocket money and I seem to have a good value for money. If my child ever needed something and I felt it was a reasonable（合理）request , I would buy it for him .

Sharad Sanghi: No, I wouldn’t give my child pocket money because I don’t want to create the perception（觀念） of “ her ” money and “ my ” money . Besides, if I refuse to buy her something that I think is bad for her, she may buy it with her pocket money on the sly. In this way, I would lose control over my child’s requests. I feel it also encourages children to care more about money than anything else. I don’t want my child to start judging(評判) other children by the amount of money or pocket money they have.

Rakesh Shah: Yes, I would give my child pocket money. I feel that children should learn to spend money intelligently and not go overboard spending. They will learn what their limitations（限制）are and feel the difficulty when they have to pay for something that is over their own pockets .

Rajiv Patel: Yes, I would give my child pocket money because it is important that she learns to manage money. I will give her a fixed amount every month and if she spends the money before the month is over, then she will learn a lesson and not spend money so freely.

Vikram Desai: Yes, I would certainly give my child pocket money. But I would not give it to him on a weekly or monthly basis. He would have to earn it. If he helped me finish some of my jobs or helped his mother with housework, I would reward him. This helps him realize that “money does not grow on trees” and it requires hard work to earn money.

1.Ashish Khanna may agree that ____________.

A. he was given too much pocket money when young

B. he can take much control of his child by money

C. he will buy anything he thinks his child really needs

D. pocket money helps children develop a good value for money

2.The underlined phrase “on the sly” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___.

A. for free B. at a lower price

C. happily D. secretly

3.What do Rakesh Shah and Rajiv Patel have in common?

A. They want their children to learn to manage money.

B. They ask their children to get pocket money by working.

C. They teach their children the difficulty of making money.

D. They allow their children to spend money freely.

4.According to Vikram Desai, children’s earning money by themselves makes them know that ____.

A. money is not easy to get

B. money can be gotten from the trees

C. one can get lots of money if he / she works hard

D. money is not so important for people nowadays

5.Who would give his child pocket money every month ?

A. Ashish Khanna B. Sharad Sanghi

C. Rakesh Shah D. Rajiv Patel

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.

I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.

I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.

One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(資格證書) if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course.

I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.

Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.
