You have a nice salary, but you still feel short of money. At the end of each month, you often ask yourself, “Where has all my money gone”? To help you better run your salary, here come some money-saving tips.
First, you need to set goals to encourage yourself to save money. For example, you plan to have a good dress in one year, to have a car in two years’ time or to buy a house in five years.
Second, form money-saving habits and stay away from the ones that waste money. Learn to keep a diary of how much you spend and what it’s for. Think twice before using money on expensive skin care products(护肤品). The best way to keep your skin in good condition is enough sleep.
Third, pay attention to your daily things. Leave no more than one light on when you leave home. Buy vegetables from a market where vegetables are less expensive and fresher, not a supermarket. When going to a supermarket, take a notebook with you. Write down what you want to buy.
Fourth, save your social life. Take the dishes that haven’t been eaten up away for next day when you have dinner in a restaurant. When it’s your turn to offer a meal, invite your friends to your home, and cook the dinner yourself. If you are to attend a party and an expensive present is needed, ask several friends to go together to share a present.
小题1:The passage is mainly about .| A．four ways to save money | | B．how to set goals to save money | | C．where to keep money | | D．how to live well with little money |

To some, it"s a dream job---eating delicious meals for free and then writing about them. But for some food critics, their eyes aren"t the only thing that gets wide with yet another feast.
Karen Fernau, a food writer for The Arisona Republic, said when she first started her job –she began to gain weight. “I always looked forward to lunch before this job, then all of a sudden lunch was all day every day. " she says. Nine years later, keeping her weight steady and her health intact （完好无损的）is a daily battle. If she knows she will be going to a tasting at a bakery or eating a four-course meal, she usually eats fruits or salads throughout the day. Now she is always keeping track of what"s in the food she eats and she says most people don"t even look at or consider it. At one tasting task alone, she says, upward of l,000 calories is often added to her day. That"s about half of the recommended total calories per day for the average adult.
But even though she"s thought of a special eating method, Fernau says sticking to it is a daily battle. And food editors, writers and critics across the country couldn"t agree more. “When I"m at home or not eating for work, it"s healthy food to the extreme," says Phil Vettel, who"s been a restaurant critic for the Chicago Tribune for 19 years.
Vettle, who eats dinner at four restaurants each week, says unlike most professions, he has no right to choose. "If I"m going out to eat, I can"t choose the healthiest thing on the menu, I have to eat when they"re bringing me. " While Vettel exercises when he can, Joe Yonan, a food editor at The Washington Post, has strengthened his exercise habits since he started the job two years ago. Yonan says he realized early on that he was gaining weight and immediately hired a personal trainer to meet with three times a week, on top of his body training three to five times a week.
Still, it"s a struggle that many Americans might envy. After all, it"s one thing to get your calories from lobster（龙虾） tails or a delicate（精致的）chocolate cookie and quite another to get them from sodas and fast-food burgers.
小题1:What does the underlined sentence mean in Para l?| A．The food critics are always impressed by the delicious food in the restaurant. | | B．The food critics are shocked to learn they have to have one more feast. | | C．There is a wide variety of choices for the food critics to choose from. | | D．The food critics eat delicious food, which also tends to result in gaining weight. |

小题3:What is mentioned to be a method that food writers use to keep fit?| A．Not eating anything except for the free meals. | | B．Writing down everything they put into their mouth. | | C．Hiring a personal trainer for special exercise instructions. | | D．Choosing only the healthy food on the menu. |
小题4:What can we infer from the last paragraph?| A．No matter whether the food is expensive or not, the gaining of calories is the same. | | B．The calories that lobster tails and chocolate cookies contain are less harmful. | | C．Americans envy those food critics since they enjoy delicate and tasty food. | | D．Everybody should take the calories in their food carefully. |
小题5:What"s the main idea of the passage?| A．A job offering free meals may not be as desirable as it sounds to be. | | B．Dishes in the restaurant usually contain too many calories. | | C．Eating fruits and vegetables every day is the best way to lose weight. | | D．Food writers work hard to maintain their health and weight. |

Interest in pursuing international careers has risen in recent years strengthened by permanent personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talent.
Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.
When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one--or two--page document describing one"s educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the company culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to include two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start.
"Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of "cross--border" job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be an adequate description. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience. "
Pay attention to the resume format you use-chronological or reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your "oldest" work experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preferences about which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format. "
If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the receiver uses British English or American English because there are changes between the two versions. For example, university education is often referred to as "tertiary education" in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these changes may assume that your resume contains errors.
小题1:Companies are hiring more foreign employees because ________.| A．they find foreign employees are usually more talented | | B．they need original ideas from employees hired overseas | | C．they want to expand their business beyond home borders | | D．they have difficulty finding qualified personnel at home |
小题2:The author believes that an individual who applies to work overseas ________.| A．is usually creative | | B．aims to improve his foreign language skills | | C．is dissatisfied with his own life at home | | D．seeks either his own or his children"s development |
小题3:When it comes to resume writing, it is best to ________.| A．take cultural factors into consideration | | B．learn about the company"s hiring process | | C．follow appropriate guidelines for job hunting | | D．know the employer"s personal likes and dislikes |
小题4:When writing about qualifications, applicants are advised to __________.| A．stress their academic potential to impress the decision maker | | B．give the title of the university degree they have earned at home | | C．provide a detailed description of their study and work experiences | | D．emphasize their interest in pursuing a "cross-border" career |
小题5:According to the author"s last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware of ________.| A．the different educational systems in the US and the UK | | B．the differences between the changes of English | | C．the receiver"s preference with regard to the format | | D．the special characteristics of American and British cultures |

Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to (理解)the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.
But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, “learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column（专栏） called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.
In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying(欺负人).
As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge(海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place --- to teach!
Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.
小题1:The passage mainly talks about _____.| A．how to get along well with teachers | | B．the importance of a good relation with teachers | | C．how much the students are expected of to get along with teachers | | D．how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant |
小题2: “Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _____.| A．learning becomes easier for you at once | | B．you find an opening to learning | | C．there’ll be more problems with learning | | D．there’ll be no problems with learning. |
小题3:According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?| A．You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others. | | B．You find it comfortable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers. | | C．You have a good relationship with teacher, so you can turn to him/ her when in trouble. | | D．You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers. |
小题4:Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?| A．Teachers are excited even if you wouldn’t like to accept their teaching. | | B．Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do. | | C．Though few there are still some students who can learn even if they don’t like the teacher. | | D．Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies. |
