More People Are Leaving the Rat Race for the Simple Life
Time is more precious than money for an increasing number of people who are choosing to live more with less—and liking it.
Kay and Charles Giddens, two lawyers, sold their home to start a B&B hotel. Four years later, the couple dishes out banana pancake breakfast, cleans toilets and serves homemade chocolate chip cookies to guests in a B&B hotel surrounded by trees on a hill known for colorful sunsets.
“Do I miss the freeways? Do I miss the traffic? Do I miss the stress? No,” says Ms. Giddens, “This is a phenomenon that’s fairly widespread. A lot of people are reevaluating their lives and figuring out what they want to do. If their base is being damaged, what’s the payoff?”
Simple living ranges from cutting down on weeknight activities to sharing housing, living closer to work, avoiding shopping malls, borrowing books from the library instead of buying them, and taking a cut in pay to work at a more pleasurable job.
Vicki Robin, a wr iter, Lives on a budget equal to a fifth of what she used to make. “You become conscious about where your money is going and how valuable it is.’’ Ms. Robin says, ’’You tend not use things up. You cook at home rather than eat out...’’
Janet Luhrs, a lawyer, quit her job after giving birth and leaving her daughter with a nanny for two weeks .’’It was not the way I want to raise my kids,’’ she says ‘’Simplicity is not just about saving money; it’s about me sitting down every night whit my kids to a candl elit dinner with classical music.’’
Mrs. Luhrs now edits a magazine, Simple Lining, which publishes tips on how to buy recycled furniture and shoes ,organize potluck dinners instead of expensive receptions ,and generally how to consume less .
‘’It’s not about poverty ,’’Mrs. Luhrs explains,’’ It’s about conscious living and creating the life you want. The less stuff you buy ,the less money goes out of the door, and the less money you have to earn.’’

B. started a private hotel

Showrooming
One of the biggest challenge facing brick -and -mortar retailers(实体零售店)in recent years has been the “showrooming’’. Driven by the desire to get the best prices, many shoppers are now visiting brick -and -mortar stores to personally check on products that interest them, only leave and then buy the items online. The new trend is facing retailers to find out new ways to keep consumers from leaving their store for cheaper prices online.
Recent research found that 40 percent of U.S. shoppers have showroomed previously, with big-box retailers suffering the most. Specifically, the shows that Best-Buy, Walmart and Target are the most likely brick-and-mortar stores to have shoppers test out a product in -store and the purchase it online later, while Amazon is benefiting most from the practice, with nearly 60 percent of shoppers using the online retail giant(巨人)most often to make their showrooming purchase. Smartphones have pushed showrooming into the front. Shoppers no longer have to wait until they get home to see if they can find a cheaper price for the products they’re considering buying. With smartphones, consumers can now compare virtual prices, at both other brick-and-mortar stores and online ones while still inside a retail store. If they can find what they’re se eking for less online, the majority will be seeking the first exit. A recent study showed that 45 percent of customers shopping at brick-and-mortar stores walk out and buy their purchase online for a discount of as little as 2.5 percent.
This puts pressure on retailers to provide both an in -store experience worth staying for and an online presence that can attract shoppers who are showrooming in other business.
To cut down on showrooming, many retailers are adopting new methods to keep shoppers in their st ores. Among the steps they’re taking are price-matching guarantees that allows shoppers to pay a discount price if they found cheaper online. This ensures that even a showrooming shopper can make a purchase in a store-regardless of whether they find the cheaper price online.
Another popular method to fight against showrooming is to give shoppers the ability to buy something online and pick it up at the store. This reduces shopping costs and gets customers in the store, where they may be encouraged to make an additional purchase.
It is also important for businesses to take into consideration what makes shoppers purchase something in-store rather than online, and meet those needs. Research has found that more than 8 in 10 Americans consider being able to take the goods home immediately and the ability to touch and feel them---the most important aspects when deciding to purchase in a store rather than online.
63.According to the passage, a showrooming shopper tends to .
A. pay for everything online
B. Have better bargaining skills
C. Rush to buy things in a store
D. purchase things online for a lower price
64.Which contributes to the growing popular of showrooming ?
A. The wide use of smartphones.
B. The competition between big stores.
C. The advertisement by online giants.
D. The decline of the brick -and mortar stores.
65.The underline words“seeking the first exit”in paragraph 3probably mean.......
A. searches foe lower prices
B. leaving as soon as possible
C. locating the first exit quickly
D. making a purchase on the spot
66.The last three paragraphs mainly talk about ways of
A. increasing sales at stores
B. preventing purchase online
C. satisfying customers’ nee ds
D. advising shoppers to buy more
D
Traveler
My fifteen -year- old son has returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars uncashed traveler’s checks, and is asleep at the moment. His blue duffel （粗呢）bag lies on the floor where he dropped it. Obviously he postponed as much as he could: when he walked in and hugged ,his electrical system suddenly switched off, and he headed directly for the bed ,where I imagined he beat his old record of sixteen hours.
It was his first trip overseas, so weeks before it, I pressed travel books on him, and a tape cassette of useful French phrases; drew up a list of people to visit; advised him on clothing and other things. At the luggage store where went to buy him a suitcase, he headed for the duffels, saying the suitcase were more for old people.
During the trip, he called home three times: from London, Paris, and a village named Ullapool .Near Ullapool, he climbed a mountain in a rainstorm that almost blew him off. In the village, a man spoke to him in Gaelic, and, too polite to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes, trying to nod in the right places. The French he learned from the cassette didn’t hole water in Paris. The French he talked to shrugged and walked on.
When my son called, I sat down at the kitchen table and learned forward and hung on every word. His voice came through clearly , though two of the calls were like ship -to-shore communication .When I interrupted him with “Great!” or a “Really?” ,I knocked a little hole in his communication .So I just sat and listened. I have never listened a telephone so attentively and with so much pleasure. It was wonderful to hear from him that was so new to me. In my book, he was the first man to land on the moon, and I knew that I had no advice to give him and what I had already given was probably not much help.
The unused checks are certainly evidence of that. Youth travels light. No suitcase, not much luggage and a slim expense account, and yet he went to the scene, and came back safely. I sit here amazed. The night when your child returns with dust on his shoes from a country, you’ve never seen is a night you would gladly turn into a week.
67.During the trip, the author’s son
A. run out of money
B. had inadequate sleep
C. forget to call his mother
D. fail to take good pictures
68.According to the passage, which of the following could best describe the author’s son
A. Polite and careless
B. Creative and stubborn
C. Considerate and independent.
D. Self-centered and adventurous.
69．What does the underlined word “that”in the last paragraph refer to?
A. It is important to listen to your child’s story.
B. It’s easy to interrupt the chat with your child.
C. The author is proud of her son landing on the moon.
D. The son no longer needs much help from his mother.
70. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Good parents should protect their children from potential dangers.
B. The word is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
C. It’s a win-win choice to give a child space to experience and explore.
D. Communication between parents and children is extremely important.

Trampolining
What’s more fun than standing still? Jumping up and down on a springy piece of fabric (织物) ！This activity is known as trampolining and it’s sweeping the nation.
The idea of trampolining is ancient. Eskimos have been throwing each other in the air for thousands of years. Fireman began using a life net to each people jumping from buildings in 1887.__71__.
A gymnast named Gorge Nissan and his coach Larry Griswold made the first modern trampoline in 1936. They got the idea by watching swing artists bouncing off of a tight net at the circus. They named their equipment after the Spanish word trampoline, which names diving board. __72__ In 1942 they began making trampolines to sell to the public.
__73__ Experts find that more than 100,000 people hurt themselves while using one each year. Clubs and gyms use large safety nets or other equipment to make it safer. Most trampoline injuries happen at home. Since trampolines are more affordable than ever, injuries are even more common. These injuries happen for many reasons. People may become too high and land off of the trampoline or onto the springs. __74__ Perhaps the worst injuries happen when untrained people try to flips（快速翻转）. Landing on your neck or head can cause injuries or even kill you.
But don’t let all that bad news keep you down. There are many things that you can do to practice safe trampolining. Trampolines have been around for a while now. They have brought a lot of joy to many people. They can be a good source of exercise and activity. __75__ But they can also be deadly. It is important to some professional guidance. Be sure that you are practicing safety while having a good time. Happy bouncing!
A. They can help people improve their balance and moves
B. Trampolines may be fun, but they can also be dangerous.
C. The man wanted to share their idea with the whole world.
D. Injuries also happen when many people are jumping at the same time.
E. You can surround your trampoline with a net so that people don’t fall of it.
F. They found a winner when they performed a piece of spring across a steel frame.
G. And in the early 1900s, circus performers began bouncing off of netting to amuse audiences.

Good evening, everyone. Here’s the latest forecast for the next 48 hours. Today, we have a lot of snow moving in from the northwest to North China. The temperature drops fast along this area. Take Beijing for example, it was 6℃yesterday, but it falls to -1℃with about 3 inches of snow. About 48 flights were delayed or cancelled because of that. But it won’t last long. Tomorrow, with the cold air coming in, the snow will stop, and we’ll see the sunshine. In the next 24 hours, the temperature will rise to above zero in this area. In Beijing, it will be 2 degrees, which is a bit higher than today, a nice day for skiing. In Southeast China, however, we’ll not enjoy the sunshine on the weekend. It will gradually become cloudy, and in some cities, there will be freezing rain. So if you plan to travel in this area, remember to take an umbrella and warmer clothes. Generally speaking, it will be dry and sunny in the north and wet and cold in the south. That’s all for the weather. Thank you and have a nice weekend.

All the houses are painted white and the skies are clear. It's not surprising that the life here is very relaxing, and it is also home to plenty of cafes and art galleries. Wengen in Switzerland Do you ever wonder how the world was before cars were invented? The village called Wengen might just help you realize your dreams. Cars have been banned from this area for close to 100 years, and everything looks like it was taken right out of Heidi. The locals have kept their Swiss culture undamaged. Shirakawa-go in Japan This village is certainly known for its unusual houses with triangular roofs which seem to resemble hands joined in prayer. It's designed to keep snow from piling up on top of houses. These houses are the symbol of the area but there aren't many of them left anymore. Eze in France France in itself is pretty, but its most attractive village is Eze. This community seems to be frozen in time. This village is the perfect melting pot of cultures because of its closeness to Nice. During the Middle Ages, it was desired by invaders(侵略者),and while this was a cause of sadness for the local people in the past, today the village enjoys its rich heritage(遗产).The architecture here is so diverse.

When I was a baby I would stand in my wooden crib(婴儿床) and watch the world go by through the window. Some neighbors watched me watching the world go by with by big, wondering eyes and found me very interesting. They used to call me “the beauty at the window”. The early neighbors I could remember were from the second house I lived in. Peter and Paul were twins. We went to play school together although they were a year older than me. I well remember the Alsatian they had which ran into me when I was invited to their fifth birthday party. Needless to say, I was well-known for my loud screams after the party. But they said the pet was scared of my screams and didn’t appear until the party was over. Peter and Paul were the first boys who encouraged me to climb the gate. I could never tell the difference between boy and girl behaviors—I just did what I thought was fun. Not only did I have a great time performing that first climb, I also got my skirts dirty, and was criticized by my mother. The Japanese neighbors I had living in this same house were my favorite, as they introduced me to sea-salt baked shrimps (烤虾) which were so crisp that you could eat the shrimp totally. They gave me some seaweed for my birthday. Thankfully, no other member in my family enjoyed the seaweed as I did. Perhaps what my mother used to joke to me was true, that I was picked up out of the dustbin that belonged to a Japanese home. Maybe sometimes it is difficult to find good neighbors in this society. But all it takes is a spark(火花) to get a fire going. I have decided to be that spark wherever I live and pass love on to my neighbors. 21. We can guess "the Alsatian" in the twin brothers' home is ___________. A. a small child B. an interesting toy C. a dog D. a bicycle 22. From the passage we can know that the author___________. A. enjoyed the Japanese neighbors' cooking style most B. had difficulty getting on with the twin brothers' family C. was described as interesting when playing with boys D. had many neighbors that worked in restaurants 23. What can we infer from the passage? A. The author often moved to other places. B. Peter and Paul liked to play tricks on others. C. The neighbors the author had were good at cooking. D. The author had a good relationship with her neighbors. B Below are four ads on the website.Artful Experience It’s an artful experience even if you’re artistically challenged.
