Lilian and I lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at age 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy ,but Lilian drew me out.

But three days later I answered my door to find Lilians sister standing there; her face was pale. “JudyLilians” She could hardly get the words out. My best friend had drowned on vacation. Shortly afterward, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears formed in my eyes.The next day Donna brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Loggia,” the little girl said. She threw her hair from her shoulders-her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a giant smile. “My name is Lilian.”My daughters new friend was so much like the best friend I had lost.

At the same time, parents recognize the benefits of taking time off to relax with their kids. Here are some tips to save money on their travel plans.Check to see if you can save money by buying tickets for places of interest in advance. Many amusement parks offer up to 20% off for advance booking. Note that some destinations charge children by height, not age, so you may end up paying full price for your taller children.Choose a destination thats within driving distance. Driving is much cheaper than flying. If you must fly, dont fly direct. You can save hundreds of dollars on each ticket by making a connection on earth.If you want to buy something of daily use, go to market outside the tourist area. Things in small markets in tourist sites tend to be expensive!If youre traveling internationally, buy local food rather than American food to avoid paying extra money for the imported fare(说). No need to pay $10 for a box of American corn flakes.Travel off-season. Hotel rates, airfare, and prices are often deeply discounted（打折） during non-peak periods. Be flexible! Even traveling a few weeks before or after school vacation can save a lot of money.Dont feel obligated(必修的) to be on the go every day. Do the tourist thing one day, then have one day of down time. Vacations are meant to be a time to relax and get away from all the over-scheduling.Having a friend take care of your pets rather than board them out. A week of dog daycare can cost up to $300.29.All the following measures can save the cost of your journey EXCEPT .A. buying necessities out of tourist sites B. traveling during non-peak periodsC. booking tickets ahead of time D. taking a child with you.30.

Here is how he accomplished(完成) this .First, of course, he started out by treating his dogs with love and respect, and by showingthem enough patience as they were learning.Then, the next thing he did was a true action of genius. He would cut a small piece of carpet for each dog he trained. He placed the carpet in the dogs sleeping area for him to lay on each night .He would also take this carpet during the day and set it down in various locations ,and sit the dog on the carpet, as he praised the dog for being good. Whenever he moved to a new location ,he would have the dog stand up, and he picked up the carpet and carried it to the new location, set it down, sat the dog down, and again, praised the dog for being a “good boy”. Frank said that this led the dog to feel “at home” when sitting on the carpet.Next, Frank would teach the dog to pick up the piece of carpet himself, and carry it to wherever they were going. The dog would then set the piece of carpet down when they stopped, and sit on the top of it ,with Frank all of the time praising him for being a good dog. Now Frank said, “ The dog begins to feel that he truly belongs to every place that he travels to, and no matter where he goes, he receives my love and appreciation.”And I ask you now, if this strategy(策略) works so clearly for dogs, would the same basic strategy not work just as well for human beings? Ask yourself, “What is the small piece of carpet you carry around with you wherever you go?” Would your life not be very different if you changed your piece of carpet to one of self love and appreciation?”33.In order to train the guard dogs, Frank . A. prepared a piece of carpet B. cut his carpet into pieces C. placed his carpets everywhere D. carried some different carpets34.Frank would speak highly of the dog when .A. they moved to another place B. he forced it to do something C. it behaved like a good boy D. it did something well as told35.According to Frank, what is the most important in training the guard dogs?A. The food. B. The method C. The encouragement. D. The strictness第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项InChina,moreandmoremiddleschoolstudentsaregettingshortersleepingtimethanbefore.36_becausetheyhavemuchhomeworktodo.Somehomeworkisgivenbytheirteachersandsomebytheirparents.Also37_.Theyarenotcarefulenoughwhiletheydotheirhomework,38._.SomestudentsspendtoomuchtimewatchingTVorplayingcomputergames.Theystayupverylate.Somestudenthavetogetupearlyeverymorningonweekdaystogettoschoolontimebybusorbybike.39_.
