would like to earn large amounts of money. you can win a large amount of money in the united states through lotteries. people pay money for tickets with numbers. if your combination of numbers is chosen，you will win a huge amount of money一often in the millions. a few years ago，my friend al won the lottery. it changed his life. he was not “born with a silver spoon in his mouth”. my friend was always short of money. and the money he did earn was chicken feed. sometimes al had to accept handouts(施舍物)from his friends. but do not get me wrong. my friend was always very careful with the money he spent. in fact, he was often a cheapskate. he didnt like to spend money. the worst times were when he had no single penny left. one day, al scraped together a few dollars for a lottery ticket. he thought he would never gain lots of money unexpectedly. but his combination of numbers was chosen and he won the lottery. al was so excited. the first thing he did was to buy a costly new car一one thing that he normally would not buy. then he started spending money on unnecessary things. it seemed that he had “money to burn”. when we got together for a meal at a restaurant, ai paid every time. he would always tell me the money made him feel like a millionaire. but al spent too much money. soon he was “down and out” again. he had spent his “bottom dollar”一his very last amount. he did not even save any of the money. 1 admit i do feel sorry for my friend. he had enough money to “live like a king. instead, he was back to living on a shoestring”一a very low budget. some might say he was

, he was one of the few people in the small community of north apollo who owned a car. w hen he and mom got married，they went on their honeymoon in that old ford，but they had to turn around and pay a visit to the garage because the car didnt have enough power to drive them going forward. when i was too young to remember, my dad owned a truck by which we all went nutting and berry picking. it was an important day when daddy decided to buy a family car. it must have been about 1937 or 1938 when he purchased a 1929 chevrolet sedan. we loved that old car. on saturday evenings，after dinner, the whole family would pile into that old square sedan，go up to whitlingers grocery store and buy a bag of hersheys kisses. then daddy would head out toward the country and drive all around the old country roads while we fed ourselves on chocolates .that was the highlight of our week . i didnt know which we enjoyed most, the chocolates or riding in the car. the first car i owned was a packard

everyday life，as it is peoples top choice to go to school and work.“there are more bicycles than residents in the netherlands. in cities like amsterdam and the hague，up to 70 percent of all journeys are made by bike，”said bbc.so how did cycling become such a popular means of transportation in the european country?in the 1970s，the dutch government began to improve its cycling basic facilities(设施) due to both a national social movement demanding safer cycling conditions for children and the oil crisis in the middle east，when oil-producing countries stopped their exports to western europe.to make cycling safer and more appealing，the dutch have over 40,000 kilometers of bicycle lanes and paths，which are clearly marked，have smooth surfaces and include separate signs and lights for those on two wheels.in many cities the bike lanes are completely separated from motorized traffic. and in many traffic situations cyclists are given priority (优先权) over drivers. sometimes，where space is limited and both must share，you can see signs showing an image of a cyclist with a car behind accompanied by the words “bike street: cars are guests”. as young people arent allowed to drive alone until they are 18，cycling offers dutch teenagers an alternative form of freedom. the government also makes cycling skilled lessons a necessary part of the dutch school curriculum(课程).bike parking facilities are common in the country. cyclists areaccommodated(容纳)in the way motorists are elsewhere. take groningen for example, the citys central train station has underground parking for 10,000 bikes.for many dutch people, bikes are trusty company for lifes adventures. in that kind of relationship it is longevity(长寿) that matters -thats why many dutch people ride older bikes.29. what does the dutch government do about teenagers cycling?a. it will watch over teenagers who ride bikes.b. it asks some teenagers to learn cycling skilled lessons.c. it makes cycling skilled lessons become what teenagers must learn inall subjects.d. it will help teenagers to solve the problems about cycling.30. what can we learn from the second paragraph?a. most vehicles the dutch use are bikes.b. there are more people than bikes in the netherlands.c. most vehicles the dutch use are buses.d. the bike is the only vehicle for the dutch to work.31 . which of the following about cycling in the netherlands is true?a. cycling is regarded as eco-friendly exercise.b. cycling is considered as a way to entertain.c. cycling is looked on as a way to lose weight.d. cycling is thought of as part of their everyday life. d international students are allowed to work for the university they study at or for a business at the school. but the business must directly provide a service for students. also，a foreign student cannot take the place of an american in a job. international students can work 20 hours a week while having classes; more during school breaks. you can work until you finish your studies. foreign students normally cannot take a job that has nothing to do with their schools. but the government may give permission if students are suddenly faced with difficulties. examples include large medical bills，the shortage of financial aid or an unexpected change in the financial support. students must also meet other conditions. they must have studied at their american schools for at least one year. students must ask for permission again after a year if they want to continue an off-campus job. foreign students who will be studying at graduate schools can ask for some jobs before they come to the united states. a good example is a university job like a teaching or research assistant. some schools pay their assistants. others provide free education in return. many do both. graduate assistants might teach，give tests，grade work，help with research and clean the offices. many universities now provide language training for foreign teaching assistants to help them improve their english. some schools ask foreign students to pass an english speaking test before they are allowed to teach. international student offices at schools have to present information on students each term to the department of homeland security. students who violate visa rules一for example，by working off campus without permission could be sent home.32. graduate assistants might do all

couldnt ask for some jobs before coming to the usb. international students normally are not completely free to choose their jobsc. international students cannot take their jobs before having language trainingd. all the schools pay their assistants and provide free education for them第2节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） how to avoid mistakes in the ielts test many students，some with very good english skills，take the academic ielts (international english language testing system)test and fail to achieve the score they expected or hoped for. in order to avoid this，it is important to have an understanding of what you need to do in each part of the exam and have some basic strategies. 36 dont give very short answers dont just answer”yes or”no to questions. the examiner needs to hear you speak，so always give extra information. for example，for part 1: q: do you have a big family? a: yes, i do. i have my parents，and i also have three brothers and two sisters. my aunt lives with us as well. 37 it can be quite noisy in our house，but its still a lot of fun! 38 it is important to extend your answers，but at the same time you must be answering the question or talking about things related to the topic. you wont gain extra marks for talking for the sake of it if it has nothing to do with what you have been asked! listen carefully always listen carefully to what the examiner asks you. again，you arent be expected to be talking about something different from what you are asked. 39 if you dont understand a question or you dont hear it，then ask the examiner to repeat it. there is nothing wrong with needing to do this a few times during the test. talk for two minutes it is ok to give extra information，so feel free to tell the examiner everything you can think about the topic. 40 一you can plan what you say in the 1-minute preparation time and think of what extra information you can give.a. so i will say that is quite a large family.b. but remember you need to speak fluently and clearly.c. in this article，i will provide you with speaking strategies.d. there is no need to talk too much.e. keep to the topicf. ask if you dont understandg. think carefully before you
