第二篇Too Late to Regret It
When I was a junior, I met a second-year student in my department. He wasn't tall or good-looking, but he was very nice, attractive and athletic. He had something that I admired very much. He was natural, warm, and sincere.
I disregarded (不顧) my parents' disapproval. We were very happy together. He picked me up from my dorm every morning, and after class we would sit alongside the stream that ran through campus, or sunbathe (曬太陽(yáng)) on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my dorm. He came from a poor family, but in order to make me happy, he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me. Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model, and the girls envied (妒忌) me. He wasn't a local, but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together.
However, when I got a part-time job during the summer vacation, people began giving me a lot of pressure, saying that a pretty, intelligent girl like me should find a better guy to spend time with. This was also what my family thought. He spent the summer in his hometown, so I was all by myself. When he got back, I began finding fault with him. But his big heart and warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away. However, I had no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would get worse.
I had a good part-time job off campus that paid pretty well. With my good performance at school, I also got admission to graduate school at one of China's best universities. He, on the other hand, did not do so well at school or at work. I had to worry about his living expenses, job and scores.
Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him. Then we had a quarrel last June~ He was in great pain, and my cold words and bad moods started turning him away.
Graduation time was drawing near, and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown. He said that he couldn't put up with me anymore. I was shocked and looked at him in despair.
True love happens only once, but I found it out too late.
6. When did the author fall in love with the boy?
A. After she had a quarrel with him.
B. When she was a junior.
C. When she was a second-year student.

7. What did he do to make her happy?
A. He studied much harder.
B. He often took her for a ride.
C. He always endured her insults.
D. He often bought her presents and meals.
8. Who advised her to break up with him?
A. His parents.
B. Her teachers.
C. Her colleagues and friends.
D. Their fellow students.
9. Why did he leave her?
A. Because he could no longer bear her.
B. Because he hated her.

第三篇Saving Money
Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for.If you are saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert，then probably keep your money somewhere in your room.
If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save your money?
One place to save money is the bank.Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money.If you put your money in a piggy bank(豬形儲(chǔ)蓄罐)，one year later you’ll still have the same amount of money you put in.If you put your money in a savings account，one year later，you’ll have more money than you put in.Why?When you keep your money in a bank，your money earns interest.Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money. The bank uses your money(and the money of other people，too)to loan money to people and businesses.
The bank will send you a statement several times a year.A bank statement tells you how much money there is in your account，It also tells you how much interest you have earned.If you leave your money in the bank，you can watch it grow!
Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD. If you have some money that you don’t need to use for a long time，this is a good way to make your money grow.
You can buy a CD at a bank.You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time.That period might be from six months to five years You can’t touch your money during that time.If you do，you must pay a penalty，or fee.
Since the bank is using your money for that time period，it will pay you interest.You will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account.Can you guess why? It’s because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time. Banks pay different rates of interest. So, you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before buying a CD.
11. Which way will help your money earn more money?
A. Putting your money in your room.
B. Putting your money in a piggy bank.
C. Putting your money in your pocket.
D. Putting your money in a savings account.
12. Interest is the amount of money which
A. a bank lends to people.
B. a bank loans to businesses.
C. a bank pays you.
D. a bank uses.
13. A bank statement tells you
A. the amount of money you have in the bank.
B. the current rates of interest.
C. the current rates of exchange.
D. the best way to save your money.
14. If you draw your money before it is due.
A. you have to pay interest to the bank.
B. you have to close your account
C. you have to open a new account.
