Young people are perhaps better-known for spending money than saving it. But some new banking websites are seeking to change that. These websites offer young people the information and tools they need to watch over their money. The websites also let the users share their financial experiences with other young people.
Nineteen-year-old Alix Scott has been working at a store this summer. She is saving money to pay for college next year. “I have to save for all my college money because my parents can’t afford to co-sign on loans. So, I have to rely on my own savings.”
But instead of putting her money in a local bank, Miss Scott began using SmartyPig, a web-based banking service.
SmartPig was developed by Michael Ferrari with a friend in 2007. It is really all about helping people save for very specific goals, such as a wedding, a vocation or an IPhone.
MICHAEL FERRARI said : “For example, you want to save five thousand dollars for a vacation in three years. SmartyPig will actually calculate how much money you need to save every month. You don’t have to move from your existing bank, we’ll actually go in and withdraw those funds on the day you specify every month and we’ll put it into your SmartyPig account, where it’ll earn interest, as well.”
SmartyPig also enables outsiders to add money to the accounts of its users. “Perhaps a holiday is coming up or your birthday is coming up, and rather than getting a gift, your friends, your family can actually contribute to any of your SmartyPig goals.”Mr.Ferrari said. He believes that as technology continues to develop, more and more people will use the electronic banking sites.
A growing number of young people have shown an interest in online banking sites like SmartyPig. They say they like the ease of operation and services the sites offer. These personal finance websites offer tools that help users follow their spending, set up a budget, and combine their investments. And they all involve social media, which interests young adults who are already at ease about sharing their personal information online.
1.Which of the following is TRUE of Alix Scott?
A. She can’t afford her college education.
B.She has received a student loan
C.She prefers online banking services to local banks.
D. She has been working part-time at weekends
2.What do we know about SmartyPig?
A. It was created in 2008.
B. It offers the best rate.
C. It was founded by Michael Ferrari alone.
D. It is a tool for helping consumers save money.
3.According to the text, users of SmartyPig __________.
A. can share their experiences of saving money
B. need to put their money in their SmartyPig account
C. Have access to low rate loans.
D. Can often receive free gifts from SmartyPig
4.The last paragraph mainly talks about_________.
A. how to save money on SmartyPig
B. Why young people like online banking sites
C. What SmartyPig should do to improve its services
D. how online banking sites differ from traditional banks

Researchers from France and Italy discovered that Canadian parents are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and Italy.
“Our most important finding was the difference between Canadians and the others,” said Professor Michel Claes, the lead author of the study.“Canadians focus on independence and negotiation. On the other hand, Italians, for example, exercise more control. We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict.”
Claes said Canada, France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors.“We chose French?Canadians because they share the same language as France, and originally came from France and share certain values．Italy was included because it was considered to have similar，strong and important family values，” he explained.
The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19 years old.
Canadian students reported less control and more free actions, according to the study. Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle.
Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada, France and Italy.
“North America has its own educational values, which promote individualization. Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged. Italy, on the other hand, promotes respect of authority, control, and the need for permission.” he said.
Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative. Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers, and reported high levels of emotional ties. But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.
“We were surprised by this,” Claes admitted.“It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time, while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness, which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries.”
1.Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada, France and Italy ________.
A．have the same family spirit
B．have some similar cultural traditions
C．have experienced some similar social changes
D．have experienced similar cultural developments
2.How did the researchers carry out the study?
A．By collecting answers of parents from Canada, France and Italy.
B．By collecting answers of children from Canada, France and Italy.
C．By questioning parents and their children from Italian Canadian families.
D．By questioning children from French?Canadian families.
3.According to Michel Claes, what mainly leads to the differences in parent?children relationships among Canada, France and Italy?

A developer edition of Sony’s augmented reality smart glasses will go on sale in ten countries next month, the tech giant has announced.
Pre-orders for the SmartEyeglass, costing $840 (£620), are now being taken in the UK and Germany, with Japan and the US to follow shortly. The black-framed glasses are compatible (兼容的) with recent Android operating systems. Last month Google announced that it was withdrawing its smart glasses for redevelopment. Sony’s initial model will come with a software development kit to encourage people to design apps for it, the company said.
The glasses, which weigh 77g, contain an accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, image and brightness sensors, 3-megapixel camera and a microphone. They also come with a controller, designed to be attached to clothing, which contains a speaker, touch sensor and the device’s battery. Text is displayed in front of the wearer in monochrome green.
Apple chief executive Tim Cook has been open about his dislike of glasses as a wearable device. “We always thought that glasses were not a smart move, from a point of view that people would not really want to wear them,” he told the New Yorker. “They were intrusive (闯入的), instead of pushing technology to the background, as we’ve always believed.”
Stuart Miles, founder of tech site Pocket-lint, said: “I think [Sony is] wasting their time, energy and effort.”
“Google Glass obviously needed a complete rethink... I can’t see how something thick-rimmed and more invasive-looking than Google Glass is going to catch on.
“People are keen on wearables like fitness bands and watches, but they care about their faces. Wearing something on your head is a lot stronger than wearing something on your arm,” he added. “The industry keeps pushing it but consumers just don’t want it.”
1. In which countries people can get the SmartEyeglass first?
A. The US and Japan. B. The US and the UK.
C. The UK and Japan. D. Germany and the UK.
2.The purpose of this passage is to __________.
A. introduce an accelerometer developed by the Google company
B. tell the people that the SmartEyeglass will go on sale
C. people like the glasses very much
D. the SmartEyeglass is less than 840 yuan
3.What can be inferred from what Stuart Miles said?
A. He supports Sony’s efforts to develop the SmartEyeglass.
B. He cares more about his clothes and face.
C. He dislikes the SmartEyeglass.
D. He really wants to wear them.

It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25. I didn’t think there would be any patients, sighing about having to work on Christmas. Just then five people showed up at my desk, a pale woman and four small children.
“Are you all sick?” I asked doubtfully.
“Yes.”she said weakly and lowered her head.
But when it came to descriptions of their presenting problems, things got a little puzzling. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong, but I didn’t say anything but explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She responded. “Take your time; it’s warm here.”
I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family. No address—they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.
I looked out at the family sitting close to each other by the Christmas tree. The little one was pointing at the television and the oldest one was looking at the decorations on the Christmas tree.
I went back to the nurses’ station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining about working on Christmas, turned to sympathy for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action, much as we do when there’s a medical emergency. Only this one was a Christmas emergency.
We were all offered a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day, so we fetched that meal and prepared a large meal for our Christmas guests. Our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day.
Later, as the family walked to the door to leave, the four-year-old came running back, gave me a hug and whispered, “Thanks for being our angels today.”
1.From the descriptions of the family’s presenting problems, the writer learned that ________.
A．one of the children had a language problem
B．the mother caught a bad cold
C．they were pretending to be sick
D．they got all infectious disease
2.The author made sure that the family were homeless by ________.
A．asking them some questions
B．listening to their descriptions of problems
C．observing their abnormal body language
D．checking their registered information
3.What kind of person do you think the writer is?
A．Careful and warmhearted. B．Hardworking and outgoing.
C．Serious and experienced. D．Loving and forgiving.
4.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A．Christmas Guests B．A Homeless Family
C．Beautiful Angels D．Christmas Emergency

How many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?
Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don’t worry. Psychological findings have shown it’s completely normal.
In fact, the pleasure we derive from (取自) getting a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can’t help wanting more.
According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈电路) in the teens’ brains are particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were activated when they received “likes” on a social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from it worked equally.
So does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible?
Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention.
In “Why do people crave (渴望) attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to reproduce these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to be eager for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.
In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple.
“If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem (自尊) but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues.
1.You may find this text in a magazine about ____.
A. technology B. education
C. entertainment D. social life
2.Who will NOT naturally expect attention according to Radwan?
A. People who are living with their parents.
B. Those who lack social recognition.
C. People who are the focus of attention.
D. Those who want to blanket what they’ve done.
3.We know from the last paragraph that ____.
A. checking your Moments or Facebook page is a waste of time
B. it is helpful to set goals concerning making contributions
C. focusing on one’s self-esteem is quite natural
D. self-teem has a bad effect on one’s goals
4.What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s addiction to “thumbs up”?
A. worried. B. objective.
C. critical. D. supportive.
