As we walked toward the entrance to the restaurant, a man, with a 1 beard and dirty hair, jumped up from a bench and opened the door for us. Regardless of his 2, he greeted us in a friendly way. Once inside, my daughters whispered, “Mom, he 3. ” After we ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look 4 the dirt. We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many 5 him. Seeing this rudeness truly upset me. The day I became a mother, I had resolved to set a good 6 to my children. Yet sometimes when things didnt go right, being a good example was 7. When our meal arrived, I realized I had left the car-sick pills in the truck. With the windiest trip ahead, the kids needed them, so I 8 myself from the meal and went to get them. Just then, the “doorman” was opening the door for a couple. They rushed past him without even acknowledging his 9. Letting them in first, I said a loud “thank you” to him as I 10. When I returned, we talked a bit. He said he was not allowed inside 11 he purchased food. I went back and told my family his 12. Then I asked our waitress to add one soup and sandwich. The kids looked 13 as we had already eaten, but when I said the order was for the “doorman”, they smiled. When it was time to 14 our trip, I noticed the “doorman” enjoying his meal.

Ray pretended to buy a car, rent an apartment, and apply for a credit card. Then, she and her classmates played the “stock market game”, investing the hypothetical（虚拟的） earnings from their hypothetical jobs in the market in the disastrous fall of xx. “Our pretend investments crashed,” Ray says, still frightened. “We got to know how it felt to lose money.” That pain of earning and losing money is a feeling that public schools increasingly want to teach. Forty states now offer some type of financial instruction at the high-school level, teaching students how to balance checkbooks and buy stock in math and social-studies classes. Though its too early to measure the full influence of the Great Recession（大萧条）, the interest in personal-finance classes has risen since xx when bank failures started to occur regularly, Now, many states including Missouri, Utah, and Tennessee require teenagers to take financial classes to graduate from high school. School districts such as Chicago are encouraging money-management classes for kids as young as primary school, and about 300 colleges or universities now offer online personal-finance classes for ining students. “These classes really say, This is how you live independently,” says Ted Beck, president of National Endowment for Financial Education. Rather than teach investment methods or financial skills, these courses offer a back-to-the-basics approach to handling money: Dont spend what you dont have. Put part of your monthly salary into a savings account, and invest in the stock market for the long-term rather than short-term gains. For Ray, this means dividing her earnings from her part-time job at a fast-food restaurant into separate envelopes for paying bills, spending and saving. “Money is so hard to make but so easy to spend,” she says one weekday after school. “That is the big takeaway.”Teaching kids about the value of cash certainly is one of the programs goals, but teachers also want students to think hard about their finances long term. Its easy for teenagers to get annoyed about gas prices because many of them drive cars. But the hard part is urging them to put off the instant satisfaction of buying a new T-shirt or an iPod. “Investing and retirement arent things teenagers are thinking about. For them, the future is this weekend,” says Gayle Whitefield, a business and marketing teacher at Utahs Riverton High School.Thats a big goal for these classes: preventing kids from making the same financial missteps their parents did when it es to saving, spending, and debt. Though the personal savings rate has increased up to 4.2 percent, thats still a far distance from 1982, when Americans saved 11.2 percent of their ines. “Its hard for schools to reach strict money-management skills when teenagers go home and watch their parents increase credit-card debt. Its like telling your kids not to smoke and then lighting up a cigarette in front of them,” Beck says.Even with these challenges, students such as Ray say learning about money in school is worthwhile. After Ray finished her financial class, she opened up a savings account at her local bank and started to think more about how she and her family would pay for college. “She just has a better understanding of money and how it affects the world,” says her mother, Darleenand thats sown to the details of how money is spent from daily expenses to various taxes. All of this talk of money can make Ray worry, she says, but luckily, she feels prepared to face it.21.

Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease? These days thats more than an academic question, as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story.There are now more than a thousand genetic tests, for everything from baldness to breast cancer, and the list is growing. Question is, do you really want to know what might eventually kill you? For instance, Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson, one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer（老年痴呆症）.“If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease, that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious, through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you. It could really mess you up.” Said Dr. Robert Green, a Harvard geneticist.“Every ache and pain,” Smith suggested, could be understood as “the beginning of the end.” “That s right. If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimers disease, then every time you cant find your car in the parking lot, you think the disease has started.”Dr. Green has been thinking about this issue for years. He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimers. It was thought that people who got bad news would, for lack of a better medical term, freak out. But Green and his team found that there was “no significant difference” between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives. In fact, most people think they can handle it. People who ask for the information usually can handle the information, good or bad, said Green.26.

According to Paragraphs 3 and 4, if a person is at a higher genetic risk, it is_.A. advisable not to let him knowB. impossible to hide his diseaseC. better to inform him immediately D. necessary to remove his anxiety29. The underlined part “freak out” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_”.A. break down B. drop out C. leave off D. turn away30. The study led by Dr. Green indicates that people _.A. prefer to hear good newsB. tend to find out the truthC. can accept some bad newsD. have the right to be informedIII.任务型阅读Attitude is a mental state relative to what we believe and affects our entire lives. We express our attitude in our words and actions.One of the most important steps you can take toward achieving your greatest potential in life is to learn to monitor your attitude and its impact on your work performance，relationships and everyone around you.In truth，people generally dont have a high level of attitude awareness. Theyll know if they are hungry or if their feet hurt，but they usually dont have a good handle on their attitude. That is a mistake because attitude decides everything. It governs the way you perceive(感知) the world and the way the world perceives you.We all have a choice. We can choose an inner dialogue or self encouragement and self motivation. Its a power we all have. Each of us experiences hard times，hurt feelings，heartache，and physical and emotional pain. The key is to realize its not what happens to you that matters；its how you choose to respond.Your mind is a puter that can be programmed. Your inner dialogue is the software that programs your attitude，which determines how you present yourself to the world around you. You have control over the programming. Whatever you put into it is reflected in what es out. The sad reality of life is that we will continue to hear negative information，but we dont have to program it into our brains.The loudest and most influential voice you hear is your own inner voice.It can work for or against you，depending on the messages you allow. It can be optimistic or pessimistic(悲观的)It can wear you down or cheer you up.Habitual bad attitudes are often the product of past experiences and eventsmon causes include low self esteem，stress，fear，resentment，anger and an inability to handle changes. It takes serious work to examine the roots of a harmful attitude，but the rewards of ridding ourselves of this heavy baggage can last a lifetime.Here are several strategies to improve your attitude：EnthusiasmVital Tool for Staying MotivatedEnthusiasm is to attitude what breathing is to life. Enthusiasm makes it possible for you to apply your gifts more effectively. Enthusiasm means putting yourself in motion. Its an internal spirit that speaks through your actions.Lighten Up Your Life with HumorHumor is a powerful motivator. The more humor and laughter in your life，the less stress youll have，which means more positive energy to help you put your attitude into action. There are also health benefits to lightening up.Exercising Will Help Keep You MotivatedOne of the best ways to move to a more positive and motivated mind is to exercise. A regular exercise routine can provide relatively quick positive feedback in the form of weight loss，muscle development and a sense of doing something positive for yourself. Seek your personal and professional success by using the tools above. It is no secret that life seems to reward us most when we approach the world with a positive attitude.Title：Your Attitude Decides EverythingWhat do you know about attitude?Attitude is a way that you think or feel about something.We express our attitude by 1._ and behaving.Why is attitude 2._?You can reach your full potential in life by monitoring your attitude and its influence.Attitude determines 3._you and the world perceive each other.What affects your attitude?The way that you choose to 4._ to such problems as physical and emotional pain.Your inner dialogue，which should be filled with only 5._ information.Your own inner voice，which gives you the greatest 6._.The roots of a harmful attitude that you should get 7._ of.How can you improve yourattitude?Having enthusiasm，which 8._ you to apply your talents more effectively.Filling your life with humor and laughter，which will do 9. _ to your health.10._out regularly，which will keep you motivated.限时38完形1-5 CBDAB 6-10 DDABC 11-15 BACDA 16-20 DABCC阅读BABBC BDAAC1. speaking/talking 2. important/vital/significant 3. how 4. react/respond 5. positive 6. influence/impact 7. rid 8. enables/allows/helps 9. good 10.
