阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

It’s no secret that raising children can be expensive, but how about nearly a quarter of a million dollars expensive? A government report released on Tuesday says a middle-income family with a child born last year will spend about $221,000 raising that child through age 17．

The report identified housing as the largest single expense, followed by food and childcare and education costs．The $221,000 in expenses rises to about $292,000 when adjusted for inflation（通货膨胀）．Families with more income ______________ on child-related costs, the report said．A two-parent family that earns less than $57,000 annually will spend about $160,000 on a child from birth through high school．Those with an income between $57,000 and $99,000 spend about $221,000 and those with higher incomes are expected to spend roughly $367,000．

Most single-parent households in the U．S．make less than $57,000 and are expected to spend about 7 percent less on child-rearing costs, compared to two-parent households in that same income group, according to the report．Costs of raising a child are highest in the urban northeast and lowest in the urban south and rural areas．The report helps courts and states determine child-support guidelines and foster care payments．It does not address costs specifically related to childbearing（分娩） and paying for college．

One of the largest changes over time has been the increase in costs related to caring for young children．The report was first issued in 1960, when such costs were largely very tiny, but with more working families turning to outside help with childcare, it has grown to be a significant expense for many families．The report does not give total costs related to early childcare．A mother of three Raben Andrews of St．Louis said the government figures sounded right to her．“well, that’s not half of it,” joked the 42-year-old public school teacher．“ I still have to put the children through college．”

1．What does the author say in Paragraph 1? （within 10 words）

   ________________________________________________________________

2．Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?

   The rising cost of caring for young children has become one of the largest changes over time．

3．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words．（within 5 words）

   ________________________________________________________________

4．List three kinds of expenses of raising a child, according to the text．（ within 8 words）

   ________________________________________________________________

5．Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 into Chinese．

University students' monthly expenses formobile phones vary from about 20 yuan to several hundred yuan, according to students in Fudan University, Jiaotong University. Whether one has a boyfriend or girlfriend is a critical (关键性的) factor that determines one's payment for a mobile phone, said Ann, a student in Shanghai Finance University, who uses up a 100 yuan card every six months. By contrast, one of Ann's roommates, who studies in the same class with her boyfriend, spends more than 100 yuan every month. They have a habit of making a daily call to each other every night, according to Ann.

"In my opinion, one's outlay (开支) on mobile phone depends on whether he works for some department of the Students' Union and whether he has some part-time jobs which require frequent contact," said Zhuang Jiadong, a student in Jiaotong University, who is the monitor of his class. His average bill for his mobile phone is 200 yuan per month.

At present, the cost of a mobile call is 0.6 yuan per minute, more expensive than using 201 cards by 0.2 yuan. Therefore, some students, especially girls, use mobile phones and telephones alternatively (交替地). "But we boys tend to be lazy and will not bother to use 201 cards which require dialing a long series of numbers," said Zhuang.

8. All the following factors determine university student's bill for mobile phones except________.

A. whether one has a boyfriend or girlfriend

B. whether he or she works for the Student's Union

C. whether one has some part-time jobs

D. whether one uses mobile phones and telephones alternatively

9. We can infer from the text that________.

A. university students' monthly expenses for mobile phones are almost the same

B. boys tend to use mobile phone more frequently

C. if one has a boyfriend or girlfriend, one will use their mobile phone less frequently

D. the cost of a mobile call is less expensive than using 201 cards

10. The best title of the text is ______.

A. Expense Gap for Mobile Phone

B. The Mobile Phone Comes into Universities

C. The Mobile Phone is Replacing Telephone

D. Expense for Mobile Phones
