I can share a bit about my history with money and my new view when it comes to using green paper.I made a web page with links to posts about our financial journey where you can look for more details of where weve been and how we got where we are now. It was a big part of my story in the past and was a huge part of our downsizing journey. We got out of debt and stayed out of debt.So I feel eager to share the benefits of being on this side. It takes planning and more careful thought whenever a dollar is spent now than it did when I had a wallet full of credit cards. I now like to think all of my dollars having a job. So many of us work for money and dont consider that money should work for us, too. Make your dollars do the job of helping you live the life you want.Each time money is spent or saved, it should be going toward something that you purposefully want for your life. Last week I was out and I spent $20 on food in 3 days. It made me angry because afterward I thought about eating is not at all what for my life.On the other hand, there are times I spend $20 while out with my family and it doesnt bother me one bit. An afternoon out with my kids during which we stop for ice cream, and do something fun together has a completely different feel to it.In the end, I want the dollars I spend to have purpose like I can enjoy life while still planning and saving for the future.51. What do the underlined words “green paper” in Paragraph I refer to _.A. money B. work C. newspaper D. book52. You can learn about the writers history with money _.A. by making a web pageB. by reading posts about their financial journeyC. by going on a financial journeyD. by writing to him53. In the writers opinion, _.A. more credit cards should be used in our daily lifeB. we should work hard to make more moneyC. money should help us live betterD. saving money is very easy54. Why did the writer feel happy with the money spent with his family?A. Because the money is spent on food.B. Because the money is spent in doing something fun.C. Because eating is what he wanted for his life.D. Because the money went toward something that he wanted for his life. B Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians dont smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile. Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt（尝试）to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to conclude about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.55. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.? A. Love. B. Politeness. C. Joy. D. Thankfulness.56. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can _ . A. show friendliness to strangers B. be used to hide true feelings C. be used in the wrong places D. show personal habits57. What should we do before attempting to “read” people? A. Learn about their relations with others. B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.来源:学.科.网Z.X.X.K C. Find out about their past experience. D. Figure out what they will do next.58. What would be the best title for the test? A. Cultural Differences B. Smiles and Relationship C. Facial Expressiveness D. Habits and Emotions C STAGEKeep it in the air:The Chaoyang Theater is one of the Beijing theaters to present acrobatics (杂技) all year round.

We would all like to get a drivers license without answering questions about rights of way or showing that we can parallel park a car. Many future lawyers and doctors probably wish they could join their profession without taking an exam.But tests and standards are a necessary fact of life. They protect us from unskilled drivers, harmful products and dishonest professionals. In schools too exams play a. constructive role. They tell public officials whether new school programs are making a difference and where new investments are likely to pay off.They tell teachers what their students have learned-and have not. They tell parents how their children aredoing compared with others their age. They encourage students to make more effort.It is important to recall that for most of century, educators used intelligence tests to decide which children should get a high-quality education. The point of IQ testing was to find out how much children werecapable of learning rather than to test what they had actually learned. Based on IQ scores, millions of childrenwere assigned todumbed-down programsinstead of solid courses in science, math, history, literature and foreign language.This history reminds us that tests should be used to improve education. Every child should have accessto a high-quality education. Students should have full opportunity to learn what will be tested; otherwise their scores will merely reflect whether they come from an educated family. In the past few years, we have seen the enormous benefits that flow to disadvantaged students becauseof the information provided by state tests. Those who fall behind are now getting extra instruction in after-school classes and summer programs. In their efforts to improve student performance, states areincreasing teachers salaries, testing new teachers and insisting on better teacher education. Performance in education means the mastery of both knowledge and skills. This is why it is reasonable to test teachers to make sure they know their subject matter, as well as how to teach it to young children. Andthis is why it is reasonable to assess whether students are ready to advance to the next grade or graduatefrom high school.62. According to the passage, school exams enable _.A. governments to make right policieshave made effortsB. students to meet their teachers requirementsC. teachers to understand if their students D. parents to compare their kids behavior across schools63. Dumbed - down programs in Paragraph 3 refer to the programs which. A. lead to high-quality education B. are less academically challenging C. are intended for intelligent students D. enable children to make steady progress64. Which of the following does the author probably agree with? A. Disadvantaged students can benefit from state tests. B. Tests should focus on what students have actua
