Once a man was shipwrecked（遭遇海难）on a small, lonely island. There was no one living on this island, so he hoped that someone could come to save him. Every day he watched the sea, but no ships ever appeared.
He thought he should do something to save himself. He built a little house out of wood. But one day, he arrived home to find his little house on fire. The smoke rose to the sky. He cried,“God, how could you do this to me?”
Early the next day, however, a ship was coming to the island. It came to save him.
“How did you know I was here?”The man asked these people.“We saw your smoke signal（信号）,”they answered.
It is easy to get discouraged when things are going badly. But we shouldn’t lose heart, because hope is at work in our lives. Remember, next time your little house is burning to the ground, it just may bring you better luck.

Parents and children often face the challenges of money. Common topics include setting the pocket money， learning to save， and deciding on expensive purchases. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families balance these goals?
“All parents hope they’ll raise a money-savvy kid, who’ll grow up to be an adult wise in their money use.” says financial (金融的）planner Peg Eddy. The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own.
The Tidier family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids earn some. Their son, Ryan, 17, has been helping with their garden since he was 8. Now he has been able to save $7,800. Ryan has come to see the value in making his own money even when other kids are given money by their parents.
Learn Now, Save Later
Money skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady, another
financial planner, says, “Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financial future than their parents or grandparents.”
Brady does remind kids. “They shouldn’t be thinking about money all the time，” he says.
However, they should understand basic rules for earning, saving and investing (投资）.
That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past years, the average credit card debt (债 务)of Americans ages 18 to 24 doubled, to nearly $ 3,000. Among high school students, four out of five have never taken a personal-finance class.
Talking About It
Many kids want to learn how to manage their money. But parents
think only about what kids shouldn’t do. Instead, experts say,
knowing how to manage money is the best way for kids to get
what they really want. That means long-term planning and saving
for big expenses like college or a car. It also means thinking of others, by making donations to charity (慈善）.
Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She was over $ 2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the debt off slowly herself. “Now every time I use it, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says.
“That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.”
Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to use
money doesn’t have to mean setting strict rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves.
1.Brady believes that .
A. parents should attend more personal-finance classes
B. parents should teach their kids how to save
C. kids should learn how to manage money
D. kids should follow the school rules
2.Why did the writer say Giselle Lopez “learned the hard way”?
A. Because she had to pay the debt off slowly herself.
B. Because she had to make donations to charity.
C. Because she had difficulty finishing her job.
D. Because she had too many credit cards.
3.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Saving Matters! B. Parents Rule! C. Classes Work! D. Money Counts!

It is two in the morning. The wind is getting stronger and there is a chance that it will rain. Though the weather is bad, Al Gehrke sits 110 floors above the ground, 442 meters above the earth. You may be wondering what he is doing so far off the ground. If you asked him, he would say, “I am just doing my job!”
Al Gehrke has a very special job that not many people would want to have. He manages one of the tallest buildings in the world — the Wills Tower in Chicago. His team washes and changes the windows. The Wills Tower has 16, 000 windows and each window weighs over 90 kilos. Gehrke and his team work from seven in the evening until four in the morning. They clean 18 windows each night. Each window takes almost 30 minutes. Al Gehrke is not afraid of high places and he is a good man for the job.
Mary Ann also has an unusual job. Instead of hanging high above the earth washing windows, she works under the water. She trains dolphins for shows and also helps people to swim with the dolphins. She loves the dolphins. “We never tell a dolphin what to do. We ask them respectfully. They decide to do that for us because of the relationship we have,” she said.
Besides washing windows high above the earth or swimming with big fish under the water, there are other unusual jobs that you have probably never thought of people having. Here is another strange example: karaoke singers! A karaoke singer is someone who sings the songs of famous singers. The singer is able to follow the words of the songs because they appear on a computer in front of them. In Cyprus, karaoke singers are very popular. They sing to the people on holiday. As the visitors travel around the island they can listen to the music of the karaoke singers.
1.By saying “I am just doing my job” in Paragraph 1, Al Gehrke is most likely to tell us .
A. his job is difficult to do B. he is brave and strong
C. he can make much money D. his job is nothing special
2.According to the third paragraph, Mary Ann .
A. considers herself unusual B. teaches people how to swim
C. has a great love for dolphins D. works long hours every day
3.The writer is trying to introduce some unusual jobs by .
A. holding some activities B. offering some examples
C. comparing several ones D. telling some funny stories

Sometimes, on grey, rainy days, your mood level is lower than on bright, sunny days. Would you like to know more about how the weather can affect how you feel?
According to a recent study, there’s a connection between weather and moods. Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better. Pleasant weather has been proved(证实) to improve moods and memory. However, extremely hot weather can make us feel more tired and bored, spoiling(破坏) our moods.
In the study, people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than those who spent all day inside. They also found better memory scores when they ran tests comparing the two groups.
The best temperature for humans is about 22.2℃. That explains why people in southern California are happy all the time. To improve moods, a person must spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm sunny weather. Spending time indoors when the weather outside is so nice tends to lower moods. It’s mostly because we don’t like to be inside when spring time arrives. It can also make inside activities seem boring.
Maybe the activities connected with being outside affect our moods. Warm weather is connected with the beach, fun outdoor sports and so on. It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day.
Of course, we can wake up every day and decide how we’ll feel that day. If it’s rainy, that won’t necessarily make us unhappy. We’ll just have to bring our umbrellas out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!
