However wealthy we may be, we can never find enough hours in the day to do everything we want. Economics deals with this problem through the concept of opportunity cost, which simply refers to whether someone’s time or money could be better spent on something else.
Every hour of our time has a value. For every hour we work at one job we could quite easily be doing another, or be sleeping or watching a film. Each of these options has a different opportunity cost—namely, what they cost us in missed opportunities.
Say you intend to watch a football match but the tickets are expensive and it will take you a couple of hours to get to and from the stadium. Why not, you might reason, watch the game from home and use the leftover money and time to have dinner with friends? This—the alternative use of your cash and time—is the opportunity cost.
For economists, every decision is made by knowledge of what one must forgo—in terms of money and enjoyment—in order to take it up. By knowing precisely what you are receiving and what you are missing out on, you ought to be able to make better-informed, more reasonable decisions. Consider that most famous economic rule of all: there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Even if someone offers to take you out to lunch for free, the time you will spend in the restaurant still costs you something in terms of forgone opportunities.
Some people find the idea of opportunity cost extremely discouraging: imagine spending your entire life calculating whether your time would be better spent elsewhere doing something more profitable or enjoyable. Yet, in a sense it’s human nature to do precisely that we assess the advantages and disadvantages of decisions all the time.
In the business world, a popular phrase is “value for money.” People want their cash to go as far as possible. However, another is fast obtaining an advantage: “value for time.” The biggest restriction on our resources is the number of hours we can devote to something, so we look to maximize the return we get on our investment of time. By reading this passage you are giving over a bit of your time which could be spent doing other activities, such as sleeping and eating. In return, however, this passage will help you to think like an economist, closely considering the opportunity cost of each of your decisions.
1.According to the passage, the concept of “opportunity cost” is applied to ________.
A. weighing the choice of opportunities
B. reducing missed opportunities
C. making more money
D. taking more opportunities
2.The “leftover ... time” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to the time ________.
A. taken to have dinner with friends
B. spared for watching the match at home
C. saved from not going to watch the match
D. spent on the way to and from the match
3.What are forgone opportunities?
A. Opportunities you make up for.
B. Opportunities you forget in decision-making.
C. Opportunities you give up for better ones.
D. Opportunities you miss accidentally.
4.What is the author’s attitude towards the concept of “opportunity cost”?
A. Indifferent B. Negative
C. Subjective D. Objective

It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.
“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals （凉鞋）, wet with heavy snow.
“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I saved them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”
“Am I rich? Pity, no!”
I looked at my worn-out slipcovers （椅套）. The girl put her cup back in its saucer （茶碟）carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.
Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.
1.The writer let the two children come in and served them well because ______.
A. she wanted to sell old papers to them
B. she wanted to give them some presents
C. she showed great pity and care on them
D. she wanted to show her thanks to them
2.The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to _______.
A. show that she was a kind-hearted lady
B. remind her she shouldn’t forget how rich she was
C. leave room for readers to think about what being rich is
D. call up her memories of the good old days
3.It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on _______.
A. how much money you have made
B. what attitude you have had toward life
C. the way you help others
D. your social relationship

When my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.” Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better?
The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers. However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is confined to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.
The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.
Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.
When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compares with my kids. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the traditional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.
1.What is the author’s attitude towards his friend’s idea of homeschooling?
A. Surprised. B. Interested.
C. Negative. D. Confident.
2.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _________.
A. explain what homeschooling is.
B. express his views on homeschooling.
C. share his ways of teaching his children.
D. promote homeschooling
3.The underlined word “confined” in the Para.2 can be replaced by _______.
A. free B. restricted
C. devoted D. accustomed
4.According to the author what is the biggest advantage of homeschooling children?
A. They can be better at socializing.
B. They can be more popular.
C. They will become braver.
D. They can study better.
5.How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By following the order of importance.
B. By following the order of time
C. By presenting facts.
D. By making comparison.
