【题目】A ten-year-old from Howell, Michigan is being praised as a hero thanks to his persistence (坚持) that led to saving the life of an elderly neighbor. The event happened late in an evening when Danny DiPietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his mom.
That’s when the young boy noticed an open garage (车库) and a figure (身影) that he believed was a dog outside an apartment building near his house. Given the freezing cold weather, the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of dismissing it like most kids his age would have, he insisted that his mother, Dawn, find out what was going on. Dawn tried to make Danny believe that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.
Dawn finally gave in and decided to drive to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth to Danny’s hunch (直觉).Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment building she noticed a garage that was wide open and someone waving madly for help. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St. Onge. The 80-year-old had fallen down on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.
Dawn rushed home to get her husband to help and called 911. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms. St. Onge, while they waited for the ambulance (救护车) to arrive.

【题目】Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them more pocket money. 【1】 One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money. The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get weekly pocket money. 【2】
First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. 【3】 By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget.
In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. 【4】They believe helping at home is a norm part of family life.
Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money. 【5】 They can spend it by buying things they want. They can save it for future use. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children.

C. Why do their parents just give them a certain amount?

【题目】We know a lot about the advantages and disadvantages of reading a hard-copy book vs reading electronically. The problem is, many of us refuse to listen.
Don’t get me wrong: Digital reading has some real advantages. Ask people what they like most about reading on digital screens, and you hear over and again about convenience. More points for digital reading: e-books tend to be cheaper. There’s also the environmental argument. Think of the trees!
Yet the soundness of this case is arguable. The earth metals to build e-readers are not just rare but highly poisonous. And think about all that energy needed to run servers and cooling fans. And remember, trees are a renewable resource.
Then, there’s the appeal of a hard copy. Many people prefer print when reading both for pleasure and for school or work. Drawing examples from my own research, some of the reasons arc aesthetic(美学的). Others involve a sense of accomplishment, ease of annotation (“I can write on the pages”), and navigation (“easy to locate where I was”). Meanwhile, I hear abundant complaints about eye strain(干涩) and headaches when using screens.
Much of what students liked about reading print involved their minds. They say “it’s easier to focus.” Some also acknowledged they took more time with printed text and read more carefully.
But what makes the failure of electronic reading is concentration. More than 92 percent of those I surveyed said they concentrate best when reading a hard copy. When a digital device has an Internet connection, it’s hard to resist the temptation(诱惑).
So if digital interruptions don’t threaten your enjoyment or understanding of a text, then medium may not matter. Casual reading like David Baldacci? If you break to check sports scores, little harm done. But just don’t expect to understand Joyce’s novels this way.
【1】What is an advantage of reading a hard-copy book?
A. It is cheaper. B. It is easier to carry around.
C. It helps people think deeper. D. It provides instant information.
【2】What's the biggest problem of reading digitally?
A. Environmental concern. B. Physical discomfort.
C. Concentration. D. Internet connection.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards e-reading?
A. Supportive. B. Disapproving. C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned.
【4】How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By analyzing possible reasons. B. By providing typical examples.
C. By listing practical suggestions. D. By presenting direct comparisons.

Here are 5 quick tips to make this a confident week:
① Sit up!
Set your alarm to go off 3 times throughout the day to check in with your posture (姿势). Body language is one of the quickest ways to gain instant confidence.
②
Have lunch with someone in your office that you don't normally hang out with.Breaking your routine (常规) allows you to jump out of your comfort zone which is a great means for self confidence breakthroughs.
③Work it out.
Whether it be a fast walk for part of your lunch, or a quick work out during the tea break in the afternoon, it will surely do you good. Exercise fills the body with positive energy that you will be projecting throughout the day. Good health is not just an important part of living well —it also happens to be an instant confidence builder.

⑤Knowledge is power.
You have to keep feeding your mind. So whether it's a new language, a new skill, or a new hobby - sign up for something this week that will broaden your knowledge, skill level and happiness.Learning something you can be proud of and providing you happiness is an immediate confidence builder and the recipe for success.
