Instead of giving her money to buy the toy, Taylors father encouraged her to make money by herself. “How can I make money?” Taylor thought for a while and had an idea, “Why not make cakes and sell them at church to raise money to buy the toy?”The next day, Taylor started her plan. She first needed some money for tools and materials. So she borrowed $40 from her parents and promised to pay it back. Then she began to make cakes by herself. To her parents surprise, she made $175 by selling the cakes that Sunday.Everyone thought Taylor would buy the toy she wanted. She certainly had made enough money for it, but she didnt. Instead, Taylor decided to buy business cards and had her fathers phone number on them. Then she began handing the cards out. More people knew Taylor and came to buy her cakes. Even large companies began to try buying her delicious cakes.Though Taylor has made a lot of money, she still works hard at school. She also likes to take part in other activities. So Taylor must carefully manage her time. For example, instead of watching TV after school, Taylor might have to bake(烘焙) a lot of cakes for customers. When she has dance lessons on some days, she needs to get her baking done on time so she isnt late for class.Making cakes may take time and be hard work, but Taylor sees the fun in it. “I think making cakes is mostly my hobby.” she says. She also decorates(装饰) the boxes that are used to pack the cakes. Taylor uses all kinds of decorations to make sure each box looks special for her customers. People love the extra feeling Taylor gives them by decorating the boxes, so more and more people come for her cakes.Taylors cakes are becoming very popular. She achieves a sweet success.25 .

The third paragraph is mainly about.Athe hospitalBthe streetCthe shopsDthe neighborsThe Mayan（玛雅的）Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in the 1500s. The Mayan achievements were many. They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings. The Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time, because they could use it to make their lives more comfortable and rewarding（值得的）. Knowledge about tools and farming, for example, made their work easier and more productive.The Maya believed in many gods, including rain gods, sun gods, and corn gods. The people built large temples to honor the Mayan gods. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult for them to build these cities, because they had no horses to carry the heavy stone they used to build with. Workers had to carry all of the building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing. Although the cities that the Maya built were beautiful, and the people worked hard to build them, very few of the people lived in them. Usually, only the priests（牧师）lived in the cities. The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses were much simpler than theelaboratebuildings in the cities. They lived in small huts（小屋）with no windows. The walls were made of poles covered with dried mud, and the roof was made of grass or leaves. Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature.The Mayan priests studied the Sun, the Moon, stars, and planets. They made a calendar from what they learned. The year was divided into 18 months of 20 days each with five days left over. The Mayan calendar was far more exact than the European calendars of the time. Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No one knows why this happened. They may have died from some disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. Archaeologists（考古学家）are still trying to find the lost secrets of the Maya.34 .

What can be the best title for this article?AMayan GodsBMayan BuildingsCProductive MayaDMysterious（神秘的）MayaDining out with children can be an unpleasant experience for most parents, because kids are always running round the entire restaurant, saying “I dont know what I want” or “Im not hungry.” But now, a Maryland restaurant has created the Kid Friendlies menu. It translates childrens words into meals to help parents order for their kids. A father said, “As a dad, I think this is on the money”. Here is the menu.Kid Friendlies“I dont know”Triple Layer PB&J sandwich 2.50“I dont care Banana Sandwich 3.50“I am not hungry”Tomato Soup 2.00“I dont want that” Fish Fingers 3.50“What” Cheese Quesadilla 4.50Doctor Of ChocolateCambridge University is looking for someone to study the method of preserving chocolates in hot weather. It is a sweet job for a sweet tooth. However, the person needs to be good at math. Chocolate has a melting point close to our body temperature. For that reason, chocolate melts easily in hot weather. You might think the advertisement from Cambridge University is crazy, but if there is really a doctor of chocolate, he or she will help people a lot.Thinner Logo, Better EnvironmentOne logo (商标) isnt too expensive to print because it doesnt need much ink, but printing a large number of logos could cost a lot. In order to save money and energy, an American design company made small changes to some famous brands, such as Nike, McDonalds and Starbucks to cut the cost. The design company continued to hold the main body of these logos, but left an empty space inside. The logos look almost the same, but in this way, the famous brands could save 39 percent of the ink during the printing process. Lets hope other companies will take this advice. The measure will save them money and use less energy, too.38 .
