One of the opportunities he saw was gambling (赌博). He started learning about all forms of gambling. He got lucky enough to make $9,000, but sadly it didnt last long and over the next year he lost all of that money. It was at this point that Tim realized that he needed to stop gambling and focus on learning about finance.One day, he was talking to one of his friends about creating a business, and his friend turned him onto Quick Sprout. So he started reading every blog post on Quick Sprout in the hope that he could learn about how to become a successful businessman and meet some people through Quick Sprout that he could partner up with.A year ago Tim read a blog post on Quick Sprout about another businessman by the name of Timothy Sykes. Tim visited T and learned about his Millionaire Challenge program that taught people how to buy and sell penny stocks (低价股票). Tim thought it would be worth giving a try.Tim spent the next few months learning from Timothy Sykes on how to trade stocks. After he felt that he had learned enough, he wanted to start trading. Within the first 6 months of using what he learned in the Millionaire Challenge program, he made over $40,000. At one point he even made $11,000 in 15 minutes. Over the next 12 months Tim is on track to make even more money. So far things are looking good and he is already ahead of schedule. The Millionaire Challenge program has worked out so well for him and he is now starting to enjoy the finer things of life.1. Tim decide to learn about finance when _. A. he first entered the college B. he was lucky enough to earn $9,000 C. he learned about all forms of gambling D. he lost all the money he got from gambling2. By visiting T, Tim _. A. found a business opportunity B. knew how Quick Sprout developed C. posted a blog he wrote on the website D. set up the Millionaire Challenge program3. How did Tim come to know Timothy Sykes? A. By attending Timothys lectures. B. By trading stocks with Timothy. C. By being introduced by friends. D. By visiting a website by chance.4. The last two paragraphs show Tim _. A. has stopped learning from Timothy B. has taken charge of the program C. benefits from the stock market D. has become a millionaire B The Internet is a growing new world that has been developing ever since it was created many years ago.The only reason Internet sales are not taxed (征税) is because we did not know the Internet would be used to sell products when it was created.Internet sales are no different than going into the store to buy the exact same product except for the fact that Internet sales are not taxed.When buying online, people cannot see and touch the product the same way they could in a store. To fix this, customers are going into the store to see the product. Then if they like the product, they buy it online to save money on the sales tax. This is a form of tax evasion (逃税) if you ask me! Everyone has to pay the tax in the store so they should have to pay taxes online as well. Also, the added money brought in through Internet taxing could help the government to fund (为拨款) certain policies and other things that they could not do without the added funds. This could go toward the countrys schools or other things necessary for society to function well. These funds could be extremely beneficial because of the recession (经济衰退) that the country is in at this point. Internet taxing is a way to increase those funds and in turn improve the quality of life for all who live in that country.In conclusion, there are many more positives than negatives in the argument over taxing Internet sales.I do understand that I may have to pay more if I want to buy something online, but the funds stay within my society and help my country.The added cost may hurt me at first but in the end, the funds will help me and others in our country.5. The text mainly discusses _. A. whether it is a good way to buy things online B. whether Internet sales should be taxed C. why people love to buy things online D. why Internet sales are not taxed6. Internet sales are not taxed because _. A. selling online was unexpected B. they are different from store sales C. people dont know how to tax them D. many people are against taxing them7. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Online shoppers find it difficult to buy satisfactory goods. B. Customers get better products at a lower price online. C. Problems related to online shopping are hard to fix. D. Online shoppers probably try to avoid paying tax.8. According to the author, taxing Internet sales _. A. is good for all people B. can help the country out of the recession C. can help improve the quality of products D. is beneficial to the development of Internet C As a third generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help their children, she politely refused . Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities. No statistics(数据) show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to the children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obamas mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study grandparents. com, 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinsons decision will influence the grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obamas family. “In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldnt get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, a publisher of Grand magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when youre raising children.”Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.9. Why was Garzas move a success?AIt strengthened her family ties. BIt improved her living conditions.CIt enabled her make more friends. DIt helped her know more new places.10.What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinsons decision?A17% expressed their support for it.BFew people responded sympathetically.C83% believed it had a bad influence.DThe majority thought it was a trend.11.What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph? A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own. B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them. C. Sacrifice for their struggling children. D. Get to know themselves better.

Redwood National Park was created in 1968 even though about 90% of the original redwood trees had already been cut down. When to Visit:Summers are warm. It is the busiest time of the year. Winters are cool and provide a different kind of visit. If you enjoy bird-watching, plan your visit during the spring. You may also want to consider a visit during the fall to catch the amazing fallen leaves. Getting There:For those driving into the park, you will use U.S. Highway 101 whether you are traveling from the north or south. If you are traveling from the northeast, take U.S. Highway 199 from South Fork Road to Howland Hill Road. Fees / Permits:One of the best things about this national park is its free to visit!
