Long ago， people did not need money. 【1】

  【3】  . They soon found that coins were easier to carry than goods and lasted a long time. Later， countries began to make their own coins.

  The Chinese were the first to use paper money， probably as early as the 11th century.   【4】 . However， European countries did not start using paper money until 1600s.

  Today， we have many ways to pay for things. 【5】   . Often， people prefer to pay for things by card. Paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.

24、When I was a girl growing up, I cannot once ever remember either my mum or my grandma wasting food.

Anything we didn’t eat at one meal was leftovers. I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of potatoes. We would all eat until we were full enough, but there were always about half of the potatoes leftover. A few days later, Grandma would take those potatoes out of the fridge, boil some noodles, add some vegetables and mix them all together. And I also remember when I watched my mum fry bacon for us in the mornings, she would always take the oil carefully and pour it into a bottle. Then she would use it later to add flavor to so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that potatoes didn’t actually taste like bacon!

I learned their lessons well, and after I grew up, I tried to never waste food myself. I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste. Every meal went into our stomachs and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself, my boys, my husband or my dogs. To me, throwing food into the bin was just wrong.

Life is just like a feast. However, when it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Each moment that you don’t live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved or stored. Each day is a fresh beginning. Live each moment of your life to the fullest, then.

【1】What does the underlined word “it” refer to?

A．The bacon.

B．The dish.

C．The oil.

D．The bottle.

【2】What did the writer do in order not to waste food?

① Eating less to have more leftovers.             

② Throwing food into the rubbish bin.

③ Asking her family or dogs to eat leftovers.

④ Buying things according to her shopping list.

A．①②

B．②③

C．①④

D．③④

【3】What does the underlined word “feast” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．A big meal.

B．A great moment.

C．A huge pot.

D．A fresh beginning.

25、Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟).

Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go to some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

Try to reach a compromise(和解).Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect(尊敬)to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your value might help them see your purposes in life. 

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try.

26、I’ll never forget one summer day in 1975. On that day my mother suddenly died because of an unexplained illness at the age of 36. Later that afternoon, a police officer came to my house to ask for my father’s permission（允许）for the hospital to use Mother’s valve（心脏瓣膜）. I was greatly surprised. I ran into the house in tears. At 14, I just couldn’t understand why people would take apart（分解）a person I loved. . But my father told him, “Yes.”

“How can you let them do that to her?” I cried at him.

“Linda,” he said quietly, putting his arms around me, “the greatest present you can give is a part of yourself. Your mother and I decided long ago that if we can make a person’s life better after we died, our death will have meaning.’’

The lesson my father taught me that day became one of the most important in my life.

Years passed. I married and had a family of my own. In 1996 my father became seriously ill. With a smile he told me that when he died, he wanted to donate（捐赠）whatever was in good condition（状况）, especially his eyes.

My father died and we donated his eyes as he had wanted. Three days later, my daughter said, “Mum, I’m so proud of what you did for Grandpa.” At that moment I realized that my father gave much more than his eyes. What he left behind sparkled（闪烁）in my daughter’s eyes-pride.

27、English is becoming more and more popular in China. It can be used in every field, such as on some signs and restaurant menus. But there are some problems when people use it. Perhaps you’ve seen the English letters“WC”in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from native (地道的)English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries seldom use the letters.

Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.

“WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Nancy, a young woman from The US. The old sign will become “Gents/men” and “Ladies/women”.

“I see much poor English in my everyday life, and not only on signs,” she says, “I know what they mean, but they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Guizhou Province’, I know he or she should say ‘My hometown is in Guizhou Province’.” Hometown is a smaller place in a province. The common mistakes that Nancy picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction of Airport ” should be changed to “To the airport”. And it is “Room Rate ” not “Room Price”. And remember to “Keep Off the Grass” rather than “Care of the Green”.

The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant , you can go and see if the expressions are right.

D．It can be used on signs.

【3】When Nancy sees much poor English in everyday life, ________.

A．she thinks it should be corrected

B．She thinks it is dirty

C．She thinks it is proper

D．she likes to use it

【4】Which of the following signs is Right?

A．Not Entry

B．Room Price

C．To the Airport

D．Care of the Green

【5】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Letters of “WC”.
