Susan Williams went to a boarding school. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school.
Dear Mom and Dad,
I’m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal（校长）is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.
The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed．This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.
As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.
The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
I am very sorry about this.
Much love, Susan.
P.S. None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams. I just want you to know how bad things could have been!

Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic(水上的) shoes they designed and created.
Alex Quinines was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time — just over a minute. Quinones, who wore oversized boat-like shoes, also won last year and will receive $500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture, Professor Jaime Canaves’ Materials and Methods Construction Class. “It’s traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,” Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”
A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67-year-old female.
A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the races. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.
“A part of this is for them to have more understanding and designing and make it work better,” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the student.
“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research, test it and go through the design process seriously.”
1.For what purpose did the students take part in the race?
A. To go across the lake to school.
B. To pass Professor Jaime Canaves’ class.
C. To test their balance on the water.
D. To win the prize money of $500.
2.Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?
A. Most students finished the class assignment successfully.
B. The students who fell into the water were criticized seriously by Professor Jaime Canaves.
C. The students wore shoes distributed by Professor Jaime Canaves to walk across the lake.
D. The students took part in the race to challenge their physical abilities.
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A. Alex Quinines is a top student in the university.
B. It’s a custom for the people in the community to get involved in student activities.
C. The student who made it in to the end in the race would succeed in their professional career.
D. Professor Canaves attaches importance to hands-on learning experience.
4.The purpose of the passage is to .
A. show approval of the unique teaching style
B. inspire teachers to be more creative
C. report an interesting assignment
D. encourage more people to take part in the race

Are you good with money？I learnt to be careful with it during my childhood. My father would give me some pocket money and tell me it should last for a whole week. So，I learnt I had to save some if I didn’t want to run out of cash quickly. No surprise there：my dad was an accountant！
It's never too early to become money savvy（会理财）．That's what British personal finances expert Martin Lewis thinks. He was part of a successful campaign to include financial education on the school curriculum in England. It will be embedded(植入）in maths and citizenship education. This includes children from 5 to 16 years old.
Lewis says：“We desperately need to break the cycle of financial illiteracy(无知）in the UK—one of the causes of our current economic crisis and a huge contributor to continued mis-selling epidemics（违规销售）．”
Being careful with money pays off. Banks in Britain recently found themselves having to pay a large number of people who were persuaded to spend money and buy insurance policies they didn’t need. Many wasted their money on investments which were not for them. Few have the patience to read the small print.
The British say‘take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves’．It means you have to watch your daily expenses and not just the big purchases in your life such as houses.
Martin Lewis has made millions from his website which advises people to be thrifty(节俭）and refuses any suggestion that he is mean. The expert says in an interview with the English newspaper the Daily Express：“the better you are with your cash，the better your life can be. People think I am telling them to stop spending money but I am simply telling them to spend it wisely.”
1.From Paragraph 1 we can know that the author ___________.
A. was in deep debt
B. was good with money as a child
C. ran out of cash quickly
D. earned a lot of money
2.The financial education in England aims to ________.
A. educate children to become money savvy
B. avoid continued mis-selling epidemics
C. help children make money
D. deal with the current economic crisis
3.What’s the financial problem of some people in Britain？
A. They have no patience to spend money.
B. They watch their daily expenses.
C. They invest money blindly and unwisely.
D. They neglect big purchases.
