You made the same mistake for _____ second time, dropping _____ “n” in the word “government”.

A. a; the             B. a; a               C. the; an            D. a; an

C


解析:

考查不定冠词的特殊用法。不定冠词跟序数词连用不表示次序,而是表示“又一次”相当于once again,后面的单词government里面有两个n,而题干中的“n”是单数,这个字母又是元音音素开头的,因此用an。要注意不定冠词用在读音是元音音素开头的字母或单词的前面,而不是元音字母或元音字母开头的单词前,如an hour,但a university, a European country等。

Why Rent Textbooks?
Renting textbooks is a relatively new idea for everyone. Back in the old days, the idea of renting one never existed since the books are affordable or readily available in libraries. But the time has changed and with the changes in educational system and various economic challenges happening across the globe, the price of textbooks increased.
Given such fact, textbook renting is now a new fashion among college students. Research was made to find out if renting helps one save money and time rather than buying new textbooks and realized that it really is. Let’s examine carefully further and see why renting books is a cost-effective way to still get to have your textbooks without shelling too much money from your pocket.
Gives value for your money
You don’t have to buy all of your textbooks. Those non-major subjects, are better acquired through renting. It saves one money and helps you give out the money you save on some other personal possessions you need in college.
Renting textbooks allows you to save at least 50% off the standard retail (零售) price for each item. You can tell, with a little research, that renting is a lot cheaper compared to buying used books aside from looking way better than the former.
Saves time
You can save a great deal of time when renting a textbook. Instead of browsing your way for hours trying to look for better deals online, you can simply go to a popular book renting marketplace online and just order away. There is literally no need to skimming for hours and see where you can find a great deal. Often, the rental company gives you prepaid postage slip just to get you going and do the same when you decide to return the book.
This process not only saves you time, it also saves other resources like gas if you decide to go to the nearest bookstore to buy books or spend hours using electricity just to find a good deal.
User Friendly
Aside from being able to save money and time, renting textbooks brings convenience to all users. Imagine trying to scan the virtual bookshelf and checking on comments of previous users and figuring out which ones got bad comments and which had great ones. It could be fun at first but if you are short of time, the process can become annoying.
If you rent books, you will only be needing the book’s ISBN number and find it right away. No more time-wasting site search. Type in the ISBN number, order the book, and wait for it to get shipped to your home.
【小题1】The reason why people haven’t the habit of renting textbooks in the old days is that ______.

A.the educational system has not changed by now
B.people can afford books or get books easily in libraries
C.different economic challenges happen across the world
D.the price of textbooks is much higher than that of nowadays
【小题2】The underlined word “shelling” in paragraph 2 means “______”.
A.savingB.spendingC.removingD.wasting
【小题3】The following statements are the reasons why textbook renting is now a new fashion among college students EXCEPT ______.
A.One can save a great deal of time in browsing for better deals online
B.It brings convenience to all the users apart from saving money and time
C.The process saves other resources if you don’t go to the nearest bookstore
D.It saves one money and helps him spend money on what he need most in college
【小题4】The passage mainly tells us that ______.
A.renting textbooks allows you to save a lot of money
B.renting a textbook can also save you a great deal of time
C.textbook renting was a relatively new fashion among college students
D.textbook renting is a money-saving, fun, and, convenient way for college students

When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it as the most precious thing in the world. Because in some ways, it is.
60 . Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad. And we are reminded that we should try to avoid mistakes. We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes — at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow.  61   . We don’t really consume information and instantly know it or know how to do it. Instead, we get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing usually; then we construct a model in our mind, test it out by trying it in the real world, make mistakes, revise the model based on the results of our real-world experimentation and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until we’ve pretty much learned how to do it well.
62   . If you succeed at something, it’s probably something you already knew how to do it. You haven’t really grown much from that success — at most it’s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is made up of mistakes. By trial and error, we try out new strategies and make new discoveries, thus leading to higher payoffs. So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes.    63  

A.Just think about how we learn.
B.Everyone can make mistakes in their life.
C.Mistakes are how we learn to do something new.
D.It is natural that we are in a bad mood when we make mistakes.
E. Mistakes are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.

We are all faced with challenges constantly in every area of our lives.   71  
The truth is that you will have to deal with difficult problems throughout your life, whether it is in your personal life or career. Most of us get really afraid and run away from problems because we don’t want to accept reality. Running away from your problems is the worst thing you can do to deal with the challenges you are faced with. Here are some tips for you on learning how to deal with everyday challenges.
Please bear in mind that you shouldn’t overact when coming across challenges. Overacting to a problem will cause you to make bad decisions.  72   Next time you are faced with a challenge, stay calm so you can make smarter decisions.
  73   If you cannot accept reality, you will feel very frustrated with your life. Once you can accept reality, you will be able to be calmer and think more clearly about how to get a step closer towards your goals every day.
Many people make a habit of blaming others for all their problems. They fail to take full responsibility for the decisions they have made in life. The more you blame others for the challenges you are faced with, the more you will make people dislike you and not want to be around you.  74  
Don’t compare your lifestyle with others. Of course, it is really difficult not to compare ourselves with other people. However, the more often we do that, the more frustrated we will feel.   75  The key thing to remember is that you create your own story and success in life.

A.Accept the reality of the present moment.
B.Try to look at change as a positive challenge, not as a threat.
C.There will always be a person that may have accomplished more than you.
D.Our focus may entirely be on how we can deal with the challenge that has come our way.
E. When we are not in control of our emotions, we will make decisions that we will regret later.
F. However, most people have a hard time accepting and dealing with these challenges that arise.
G.As a result, the first thing you should do when faced with a personal challenge is not point fingers at others.
