Reading ComprehensionDirections: This part is to test your reading ability. You will find 2 tasks for you to fulfill.

For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice.Want to start budgeting? Set up your own budget first.Follow the steps below to set up your own budget:Make a list of your values. Write down what matters to you and then put your values in order.Set your goals. Write down your goals. Think about what you want to accomplish financially in the next three months, the next year, and the next three years.Determine your income. Figure your available income. Do not include overtime pay, because you shouldn’t rely on that as regular income.Determine your expenses. Review your checkbook, credit card statements, store receipts, and so on. Find out where is your money really goes? “Fixed expenses,”such as a rent, auto, or student loan payments, are easy to determine. “Flexible expenses,”such as food, clothing, and entertainment, vary from month to month. Don’t forget about money spent on taxes or insurance, which is billed quarterly, semi-annually, or yearly.Create your budget.Think of your budget as a “spending plan”, a way to be aware of how much money you have, where it needs to go, and how much, if any, is left over. Your budget should meet your "needs" fi rst, then the “wants” that you can afford. Your expenses should be less than or equal to your total income. If your income is not enough to cover your expenses, adjust your budget by deciding whichexpenses can be reduced.Then how to stick to your budget?Pay yourself first! Saving is a very important part of protecting yourself financially. Save as much as you can every month. Even a small amount can make a big difference if you keep it up. A great goal is to establish an emergency savings fund large enough to cover three to six months of your living expenses. After you have an emergency fund, your savings can go toward meeting your goals.Check back periodically. Be sure to review your budget regularly. Does the plan still meet your needs and help you achieve your goals? If not, make some adjustments or create a new budget that better meets your needs.21. Which is the best title for this passage?A.

An emergency savings fund .A. shall cover 3 to 6 years of your living expenseB. is less important than your needs.C. shall meet your wants.D. is important for you to protect yourself financially.Task 2 (10 points)Directions: The following is a passage. After reading it, you are required to answer the following questions.This is an interesting place. You come here to exchange things, you come here to save money, and you come here to give your waste things a home. What is it? Not the supermarket, not the place that deals with rubbish of course, but a place on our campus. Yes, it is the flea market. I have already sold my books and bags that I no longer need there, and have bought a lovely bottle there at a good price.Before showing you the four benefits of doing this according to my experience, I have to tell you that you should keep an open mind when you go there. You may not come away with the things that were on your list, but that's the beauty of the hunt: you never know what you'll find. If you didn't find a particular item this week, don't give up, since you'll have chance to find it next time.The following are the four reasons.Firstly, it saves money. By selling the things you no longer need, you can help those students who have not got their own income. With the similar function and a much lower price, the financial problems that troubled many poor students can be solved more easily. What’s more, experts estimated that if all textbooks in universities can be used once again, we can save about 100 million yuan which can help you to travel to moon for one time.Secondly, it helps develop a good habit. Selling waste things in a flea market can help the sellers to cultivate a good habit of making full use of their belongings. Thus you will think twice before buying a new product next time.Thirdly, it fosters an intelligence to engage in business. You can learn to communicate with others and promote sale of your products to others at a proper price by doing this. Your practical ability can also improve a lot.Last but not least, it is environmental-friendly. According to the latest report, if a small-size city reuses the textbooks for one time, they can save 1.5 million yuan in only a semester’s time.Anyway, a flea market is an interesting place to visit if you want to buy something or if you want to buy nothing. Don't be surprised if you find the very thing you have been looking for or come back home with your hands empty.Hope the fact I have presented to you will help you to make a wise choice next time when dealing with your waste things. Remember: many a little makes a fickle.26. What did the author sell in the flea market?27. What can help a seller develop a good habit of making full use of his belongings according to the article?28. How much can we save if all textbooks in universities can be used once again?29. How will selling waste things help you foster an intelligence to engage in business.30. How much money can be saved if a small-size city reuses the textbooks for one time?Part IV.

一、单元整体解读及分析1. Background informationE-Commerce: The beginnings of e-commerce can be traced back to the 1960s, when businesses started using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to share business documents with other companies. In 1979, the American National Standards Institute developed ASC X12 as a universal standard for businesses to share documents through electronic networks. After the number of individual users sharing electronic documents with each other grew in the 1980s, in the 1990s the rise of eBay and Amazon revolutionized the e-commerce industry. Consumers can now purchase endless amounts of items online, both from typical brick and mortar stores with e-commerce capabilities and one another.2.

Extensive reading materialsCollege majors:/5. Useful clipsGuide for freshmen1. Background informationCan I change my major?Yes. In fact, studies find that most students change majors at least once and many switch several times. So it might not be a good idea to pick a college only for its program in one major. Instead, consider colleges that offer a range of options that interest you. That way, changing majors won't necessarily require changing colleges, too.If I want to become a doctor or lawyer, do I have to major in premed or prelaw? It might surprise you to know that majoring in premed or prelaw is impossible at almost every college. Premed and prelaw, are not majors. They are special college programs that guide students through the process of preparing for and applying to professional schools, such as medical or law school.So, if you choose to participate in one of these programs, you'll still have to declare a major. Many premed students, for example, major in biology or chemistry. However, as long as you fulfill the admission requirements of the professional school, you can major in just about anything. In fact, professional schools often look for well-rounded students with diverse backgrounds.See the full list at2. Word attack （教师可补充词语的其他常用意思，辅以例句。
