It was my six-year-old son’s winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York,So I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home. The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks.I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have writtena couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide.And I really do what I believe in.I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.11.Why did Delta give the author's family credits?A. They took a later flight.B. They had early bookings.C. Their flight had been delayed.D. Their flight had been cancelled.12.What can we learn about the author?A. She rarely misses a good deal.B. She seldom makes a compromise(妥协).C. She is very strict with her children.D. She is interested in cheap products.13.What does the author do?A. She's a teacher.B. She's a housewife.C. She's a media person.D.She's a businesswoman.14.What does the author want to tell us?A. How to expose bad tricks.B. How to reserve airline seats.C. How to spend money wisely.D. How to make a business deal.BWhile reading a story on 20-somethings complaining about how the economy is ruining their life plans, I couldn't help but think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children who grow up expecting everything to be easy for them. As a 20-something myself,I certainly share their disappointment –my husband and I probably won't be able to buya house until we're in our forties, and we two are burdened by student loans. But why should it be different? Being young people in America, shouldn't they take up all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers?Consider some of these views shared in the story: Jennifer, 29, owner of a two-bedroom apartment with her husband, worries that she won't be able to have children for at least a decade because they can't afford to buy a house yet.I read that, and I thought what planet she is living on where you need to own a house in order to have kids? Has she ever visited a developing country, or even downtown areas in this one? Home ownership is a luxury, not a fertility requirement.A 26-year-old man in the story is disappointed that he can't afford to get a Ph.D. in literature. Well, that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for five years.Yes, it's sad that these young people feel so lost. But I think the problem is their extremely high expectations, not economic reality. Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties, says that she thinks people's expectations grow up when their wealth appears to be increasing. Their parentsprobably see their home values rise along with their investments. "So we have people who have grown up in an environment where people have great expectations of what l iving well means," says Kobliner.This recession will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group. In the meantime, it seems much better for our mental health to focus on being grateful—for our one-bedroom apartments, for living in modern cities, or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day—than on longing for some kind of luxurious life.15.What makes the author think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children?A. They expect everything to be easy for them.B. They complain that the economy is ruining their life plans.C. They are unwilling to face all of the challenges.D. They are burdened by student loans.16.Which of the following is NOT one of the complaints of the 20-somethings?A. They can't have children for at least a decade for they can't afford to buy a house.B. They have only a one-bedroom apartment to live in.C. They can't buy a house until 40 and are burdened by student loans.D. They despair of not being able to afford to get a Ph. D. in literature.17.What's Kobliner's attitude towards the 20-somethings with high expectations ? A. Unbearable. B. Opposing. C. Doubtful. D. Understanding.18.What is the best title for this passage?A. Young people afford to continue their educationB. Young people can't afford to buy a houseC. Young people's high expectations lead to despairD. The 20-somethings' high expectations三.短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

Unfortunately, as long as they thought the Earth was flat, no one was able to figure out its size. Gradually, however, people began to realize that the Earth was really round.Then, in the third century BC(2,300 years ago), a Greek man named Eratosthenes had an idea. Eratosthenes was sure that the Earth was a sphere. He used the sun and geometry to figure out the size of the Earth. He calculated that the circumference of the Earth was 28,600 miles (46,000 kilometers).The true size of the Earth is 25,000 miles(40,000 kilometers).Eratosthenes’ measurement was wrong, but it was very close to the truth.For many centuries after Eratoshenes lived, people made maps of the Earth. However, they did not know very much about the world outside of Europe, Asia, and north Africa. Mapmakers could not draw accurate maps of the Earth until people began traveling around the world in the fifteenth century, mapping small areas each time. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, people began making correct maps of countries, but the first accurate maps of the world were notmade until the 1890s.Maps today are reliable, inexpensive, and easy to understand.People depend on maps every day. What would our lives be like without them?41.A sphere is a .A.large shape B.planet C.ball D.member of the sun family 42.What’s a synonym(同义词)for figure outA.geometry B.calculate C.make out D.understand 43.Look at the four drawings below. Which one shows the circumference of the Earth?44.A measurement is a .A.calculation B.kilometer C.true statement D.wrong statement 45.Accurate means .A.big B.nice C.small D.correctBTo help a 7-year-old overcome bedwetting, Dr. Howard Bennett reaches for red water balloons and a superhero named Bladderman. Bedwetting is a problem for many children age 6 or older.Alarms and medicines are available, but understanding how their bodies work for many kids is the key to staying dry. Bennett published a book that’s aimed directly at children, not just their parents to help understand bedwetting so that children understand accidents aren’t their fault-it’s not a matter of willpower but of biology-and to outline research-backed steps they can take to help stay dry.Bedwetting is hard on youngsters’ self-esteem (自尊). They may decline sleepovers or feel anxious about camp, such as doing their own laundry, to hide the problem. Bennett even had a 9-year-old patient whose younger brother discovered his bedwetting and used it blackmail.Children usually get nighttime bladder control between ages 3 and 5. The brain and bladder must learn to work together: Fi rst, the bladder signals the brain that it’s filling. The brain theneither signals back for the bladder to relax and hold more overnight, or signals the child to awaken. Boys are twice as likely as girls to experience delays in nighttime bladder control.For children who don’t want to wait it out, there are ways to help. Most common are alarms that make a sound when they sense wetness. The alarms, which cost from $ 60 to $200, can help train children to wake up. “But the education is important,” stress es Dr. Patrick McKenna. Good training in how the bladder works and how to control it can meet the devices’ effect.46. The passage mainly tries to tell readers that __________.A. bedwetting is a common thing for childrenB. boys are easier to have bedwettingC. children’s bedwetting can be overcomeD. bedwetting is a matter of biology47. According to the passage, bedwetting happens mainly because _______.A. brain doesn’t signal them to awakenB. these children’s bladders are smallerC. they are too young to control themselvesD. they have too much water before sleep48. The contents that follow the last paragraph of the passage will be ___________.A. how the alarms work in treating bedwettingB. how to educate children to avoid bedwettingC. how bedwetting works for the childrenD. how to build youngsters’ self-esteemCThe 400 phone messages said it all. Veterans(老兵) wanted to talk, and Jeff Beers, a military history buff and the son of a retired Navy man, was ready to listen. Beers had volunteered for the Veterans History Project, a program at the Library of Congress dedicated to preserving the oral histories of American's 19 million veterans. Local newspapers listed Beer's number, and the response was tremendous. He's videotaped 52 vets ever sincc."Most of them are shocked that anyone would be interested in their small slory," says Beers, 33, an assistant engineer for the city of Poway, Calif. "They ask, “Why now?” But it has to be now, before it's too late." The U.S. Department of V eterans Affairs estimates that 1,847 veterans die each day.Beers and the other volunteers are collecting the l-was-there detail. One of the most moving came from a World War 11 POW (prisoner of war): "He had to march 500 miles through the BlackForest in winter. They ate bark soup and slept at local fitrm."The WWII generation comprises(包含) most of the 700 histories gathered since the program began in 2001. But , says director Ellen Lovell, they want to hear from vets of every war. "I interviewed my brother-in-law, an army surgeon in Vietnam," she says. "He .said he shared things with me that he's never told anyone."49. What do we know from the text about the veterans?A. They live a very happy life after the war.B.
