    Shoppers who carefully plan their visit to the grocery store can save money on their grocery bills.    

Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a large meal. If that’s not possible, they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list.      

    Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money, shoppers must prepare lists wisely in order to save.     . Many special buys are announced through the local newspapers, so buying the “grocery issue” is worth the investment(投资). However, it’s important to remember that many newer, more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy.

     .Once at the store, the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules. The shopper should not stay longer than necessary, because bills go up each minute the shopper is in the store. So, setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill.   . If the grocery list is a short one, some shoppers choose to use the small hand-held basket instead of the roomy grocery cart.

       A．A carefully planned list should include in – season produce and any items on sale or

discounted through coupons (优惠券).

       B．Of course, the shopper should stick strictly to the shopping list and resist the temptation

to buy additional items.

       C．People who are full are less tired and more likely to buy what they want.

       D．Now that the shopper has completed the grocery list, it’s time to leave for the store.

       E．You should keep your shopping list carefully in case you can exchange it for coupons.

       F． Most shoppers are less persuaded to buy extra goods when they are not hungry.

G．Shopping when not hungry, sticking to a grocery list, and following a few simple rules will cut down the grocery bill.

[阅读材料]

There is a real joke．When some guys were talking heatedly about “F4”in the living room, the father came in and interrupted: “Which is more powerful, F-4 or F-16?” The boys burst into laughter．Obviously, the father took F4 for a type of fighter plane．He didn’t know that F4 is a pop group extremely popular among young people these two years．

Then what does the “F” in  F4 stand for? Fever or fortune? It is certainly not “failure” for sure! We look at the success and appeal of these 4 stars from the popular drama Meteor Garden 《流星花园》，who took the island by storm during their brief visit here．For sure, they look good．Each of them being 1．80 meters tall, they are all very popular throughout the world．

But what exactly is the appeal of these 4 young guys? Nobody can tell．Maybe some of young students are just following the fashion．Then why is Meteor Garden stopped from being shown on TV in China? Well, some young people just could not agree．In fact, students are not too young to tell black from white．And they must be clear that every coin has two sides．While they find interest in F4, they must be clear what bad that drama will do us．

When I was 16 years old, a boy gave me an important present.    1  

It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away.     2   I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.

Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart broken, I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems. And I didn’t want my parents to worry about me.

Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual.     3    I didn’t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm.

  4   I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now!

  5    I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

E. That smile changed my life.

F. It’s impossible to make friends here.

G. As a result, no one knew who I was.

Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.?

1.______________

Tim Sparks slides a small leather-bound notebook out of an envelope. The book's yellowing pages contain beekeeping notes made between 1941 and 1969 by the late Walter Coates of Kilworth, Leicestershire. He adds it to his growing pile of local journals, birdwatchers' lists and gardening diaries. "We're uncovering about one major new record each month," he says, "I still get surprised." Around two centuries before Coates, Robert Marsham, a landowner from Norfolk in east of England, began recording the life cycles of plants and animals on his estate. Successive Marshams continued recording these notes for 211 years.

2._______________

Today, such records are being put to uses that their authors couldn't possibly have expected. These data sets, and others like them, are proving valuable to ecologists interested in the timing of biological events, or phonology. By combining the records with climate data, researchers can reveal how, for example, changes in temperature affect the arrival of spring, allowing ecologists to make improved predictions about the impact of climate change.

3._______________

But not all professionals are happy to use amateur data. "A lot of scientists won't touch them, they say they're too full of problems," says Root. Because different observers can have different ideas of what forms, for example, an open snowdrop. "The biggest concern with ad hoc (临时的) observations is how carefully and systematically they were taken,” says Mark Schwarts of the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, who studies the interactions between plants and climate. "We need to know pretty precisely what a person's been observing—if they just say ‘I noted when the leaves came out’, it might not be that useful.” Measuring the onset of autumn can be particularly problematic because deciding when leaves change color is a more subjective process than noting when they appear.

4._______________

Overall, most phrenologists arc positive about the contribution that amateurs can make. "They get the raw power of science: careful observation of the natural world," says Sagarin. Others suggest that the right statistics can iron out some of the problems with amateur data. Together with colleagues at Wageoingen University in the Netherlands, environmental scientist Arnold van Vliet is developing statistical techniques to account for the uncertainty in amateur phonological data. Besides, the data are cheap to collect, and can provide breadth in space, time and range of species," It’s very difficult to collect data on a large geographical scale without enlisting an army of observers, says Root.

5._______________

Phonology also helps to drive home messages about climate change. “Because the public understand these records, they accept them,” says Sparks. It can also illustrate potentially unpleasant consequences, he adds, such as the finding that more rat infestations are reported to local councils in warmer years. And getting people involved is great for public relations. "People are excited to think that the data they have been collecting as a hobby can be used for something scientific—it empowers them” says Root.

1  It might understand more than you think． 

    A dog named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects，say researchers in Germany．  2  Its word-1earning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee．  

  In one experiment，the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects． 3  In the tests，Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right．As the dog couldn’t see anyone to get clues，the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words．   

In another experiment，the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew． 4  .

The correct object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests．suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of removing．A month 1ater，Rico remembered half of the new names，which is even more impressive．

5  Even if they do，they can’t talk back．Still．it wouldn’t hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then．You might just get a big，wet kiss in return!

A．The owner then told Rico to fetch the object，using a word the dog had never heard before．  

B．Do dogs more understand us than some friends?

C．It’s hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say．

D．Be careful of what you say around your dog．

E．The dog also appears to be able to learn new words．

F．Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items．

G．Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog．
