There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. A budget (预算) is a spending plan. It can help you spend money wisely. It can do this by cutting out wasteful spending. Of course, preparing a budget takes planning, and following a budget takes willpower (自制力). Your budget should meet your family’s needs and income. The first step in creating a budget is to set your goals. What does your family need and want? You must know this to work out the details of the budget. Keep goals realistic, in terms of income available. Then decide which goals are the most important. The next step is estimating (估算) family income. Before you can plan 4 wisely, you need to know how much money you have to spend. Write down all the money you expect to receive (wages, savings, interest, etc.) during the planned budget period. After you have calculated how much money will be available, it is time to estimate expenses (消费). List all of your family expenses. If you are not satisfied with what you got for your money, look carefully at your spending. Studying your records will show where overspending has occurred. It will also point out poor buying habits. It is also a good idea to set aside a small amount of money for emergencies. Every family has small emergencies: a blown tire, a broken device, or the need for minor medical care. 36. According to the passage, what is the advantage of a budge? A. It can help you set your goals clearly. B. It can help you save a lot of money. C. It can help you get rid of poor buying habits. D. It can help you spend money in a reasonable way. 37. In carrying out your budget, you need __________.

The writer suggests that it is a good idea to set aside some money because __________. A. you probably will not be able to follow your budget B. people usually spend more than they plan to do C. things can happen unexpectedly D. others may want to borrow some money from you 40. Your budget __________. A. should meet your family’s needs and income. B. should make you spend as less as possible C. should make you spend as much as possible D. will help you in no way 5 Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. The word “generosity” has been devalued (贬值)somewhat recently. A millionaire may give his friend a house in the beautiful suburb; a rich man could fly halfway round the world to meet his friends for his birthday party. In this case, generosity is more an action of showing off than a sincere action of giving. And such showing off lacks the most important quality of real generosity: to offer kindness and love without expecting anything in return. Real generosity, when you meet it, is simply so pleasant. And as a quality, it belongs equally to the rich and the poor. A traveler in a faraway place felt it when he shared bread, room, even bed with a farmer’s family, whose general principle is “A guest in the house is God in the house”. Another story is about a university student from Oxford. He did something out of his natural sense of generosity when he learned that his roommate couldn’t afford an expensive book, one that was very rare in second-hand shop. Knowing that his roommate was far too proud to accept such a book as present from him, the rich student bought a new copy for 35 pounds at Blackwell’s bookshop. He dirtied it up a bit and tore off the paper cover, made a few dog-ears and pencil marks against what he thought might be important parts, and wrote an invented name in the front. Then he went back, looking extremely proud of himself and claiming to have got the book in a second-hand bookstore. “Beaten them down to two pounds!” To make his friend believe him, he showed a receipt for buying himself another book at the same place. Ten years later, the poorer student got to know the truth. Actually, he was suspicious at the very beginning, though he didn’t force his richer friend to tell the truth. He appreciated the invaluable generosity as well as the valuable book. 41. A millionaire gives his friend a beautiful house, which is considered as by the author. A. a sincere action of giving B. an action of showing off C. a good example of generosity D. a quality of being kind to others 42. Which of the following is true of real generosity? A. It offers help expecting something in return. B. It’s a quality belonging only to the rich. C. It expresses a sort of simple love to human beings. D. It lies in the giver’s thoughtfulness and kindness. 6 43. The Oxford student’s generosity to his roommate is shown in . A. his efforts to look for the textbook in all the second-hand bookstore. B. his wisdom to beat the price of the book down to two pounds C. his ability to make the new book look old and cheap D. his consideration of offering the book without hurting his roommate’s self-respect. 44. The poor student didn’t force his rich friend to tell the truth because . A. he was too proud to know the fact B. he appreciated his friend’s thoughtfulness C. he was suspicious of the rich student’s intention D. he didn’t want to know the truth 45. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? A. Real generosity is invaluable B. A guest in the house is God in the house. C. The word “generosity” has been valued. D. A gift can’t be judged by its price or wrapping Task 3 Directions: The following is a letter recommending a product.
