1). Hints and Tips to Save Money■Spend less■[A]This is not oversimplifying the best way to save money！ It is essential if you are serious about being a long-term money saver. Review what you spend and look at ways you can save money. Consider making telephone calls for instance only at off-peak times. Do you really need to have newspapers and magazines delivered？ Can you do without those coffees you buy at break time every day—would a flask of coffee taken to work save you money？ What about using the public lending library instead of buying books or music CDs？ Once you start looking for ways to spend less you will quickly become an expert and really save money.■Establish a personal budget■[B]This is essential for families and individuals. You will not be able to save money unless you know how much money you have coming in， and how much money you have going out. Once you have prepared a budget of incoming money and outgoing money， you will be able to identify areas where you can save. It is MUCH more difficult to save money over a long period of time (the rest of your life？) without a budget.■Bulk is good■[C]Think about shopping and buying in bulk. You can also save money by cooking in bulk. This is a real way you can save money with little preparation and almost no extra outlay. Always purchase in bulk when you can. Prepared foods and convenience foods will always be much more expensive than all the ingredients needed to make the food. Preparing food in bulk and in advance also gives you the opportunity to plan ahead and be more accurate in your budget. Save money by buying in bulk whenever you can. One thing to be aware of when buying in bulk is to be sure that any product you buy will get used before it goes bad—you won′t save money if you have to throw stuff away. Buying in bulk is not only a good way to save money it is also a good strategy for coping with and surviving emergencies.■Make sure a sale is a sale■[D]By this I mean do your price research before you commit to making an expensive purchase in a retailers money-off sale. You have to be sure the sale really is a sale and not a creative marketing strategy of the store to encourage you to spend your money without thinking. Once you have researched the true price of a product (any product) you are in a good position to take advantage of a sale， special offer or discount and really save money. “Buy one get one free”， “50% off”， and “Huge Discount” will only help you save money if the actual price you pay is lower than you would pay somewhere else for exactly the same product.■Buy used■[E]Sure， we all like to buy new. But there are huge money savings to be made in buying used. Typically cars lose one-third of their value in the first 24 months from new. Why not buy a car 24 months old？ Other items such as clothes can be worth even less just the day after new. Look for ways to buy “as good as new” items and save money. Typical products you might consider buying used to save money include： cars， clothes， electrical goods，garden items ..， tools and sheds， household items ..， pots and pans—the list of used goods where you can save money is endless.■Don′t carry excessive debt■[F]Some debt in our lives may be essential. We may need a mortgage(抵押) to purchase a home， we may need to use our credit card to make purchases until pay-day， but your aim to save money should be to have as little debt as possible. Credit card debt is typically the most expensive debt we may carry. You will be able to save money every month if you make it an absolute rule to pay off your outstanding balance every month. If you can have the discipline to do this you will save money by effectively having no debt and thus no interest charge on your credit card(s).■Save money■[G]No， I mean really save some money. Each week or each month get into the habit of putting an amount， however small into your savings. You could start by saving a very small fixed amount each time and then move to putting in larger amounts once you begin to save money from your other money saving strategies. You will find that by saving money on a regular basis you will quickly build up a store of reserve money and also feel motivated to save more. The hardest part is to take the first step and start saving money—so START TODAY and save some money NOW！ If you find it impossible to save money once you have it， consider having money deducted from your paycheck direct each month. This can be a great way to save money rapidly as once it is set up you will not notice it is being collected and your savings will grow with no more effort from you.■Shop wisely■[H]Consider markets， superstores， farmer′s markets， local shops， malls and stores. Anywhere is worth checking out to see if you can save money. Farmer′s markets can be particularly good places to save money. Typically you are buying direct from the producer of the product so the savings are passed on to you. Use your bulk buying strategy here—farmer′s markets often offer opportunities to save money by buying larger quantities of food， for instance potatoes， rice or corn. Save money and shop wisely.■Eat in rather than out■This is a huge area where you can save money. A cup of coffee taken out could easily cost you TWENTY times (or more) what it would cost you to make it at home. So think before you drink when you are out. Eating is the same. Fast food restaurants are counting on your eating food that you perhaps don′t really need at that time but buy just because it is quick. Why not wait until you get home and have a more nutritious meal and save money at the same time？■Use less■[I]This money saving tip is a lesson we all need to learn. We live in a consumer society where waste is a huge problem. If we could all use and consume less there would be less waste， less power consumption， and the benefits for you are SAVING MONEY. Consider using less shampoo when you wash your hair， this may not mean washing your hair less effectively but it means not flushing the excess shampoo and your money down the drain. What about saving on heating？ Turn the thermostat(恒温器) down or put on extra clothes when you are cold. Turn off lights， the TV and the computer when they are not in use. Each little saving you make will build up and enable you to save money. Huge savings in energy can be made which will save you money and be good for our planet and the other people on it.To shop wisely， one can save money by buying products in farmer′s markets.
正确答案：H
2). Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals.They will spoil your house, destroy your belongings, hark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you.Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing.The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.■One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train it.Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem.Training pens up a line of communication between you and your dog.Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.■Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order.When your dog obey a simple request of “come here, sit”, it is showing obedience and respect for you.It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack(群) by using extreme measure.You can teach your dog its subordinate(从属的) role by teaching it to show submission to you.Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.■Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog.It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable.A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner ( ).
A.can give the dog more rewards
B.will enjoy a better family life
C.can give the dog more freedom
D.will have more confidence in himself
正确答案：C
3). Global Warming Washing Away Entire Communities■A)A funny thing happened just before a ceremony was to be held last week to commemorate (纪念)a $3 million sea wall around the village of Kivalina way up on Alaska′s Arctic coastline.The village，home to Inupiat natives for 4，000 years， is about to be washed into the sea，and the 1，800-foot wall is supposed to stop that.But along came a modest storm，with winds of up to 40 miles per hour，and 160 feet of the wall washed out.The ceremony was canceled.■B)You，re right.It，s not funny.Kivalina is one of an estimated 200 villages in the far North，fighting for survival，and at least three，including this historic community， may be lost within the next decade.The reasons are many，but a growing body of research suggests that global warming is at least partly to blame.There is less ice along the Arctic coastline because of warming ocean temperatures， and thus， less protection from relentless winter storms that undermine the coastal area.■C)But it′s not alone.Kivalina is sort of like New Orleans in cold storage.Both face enormous odds in the years ahead.But each story will have a different ending.The people of Kivalina will have to move somewhere else.Anywhere else.After all， who′s going to cough up the billions of dollars that it would take to relocate the residents of a bunch of Alaskan villages.■D)It′s time for community leaders from city hall to the White House to take center stage away from the scientists and apply the same level of energy and dedication to addressing the problems that will inevitably come.Science and technology will play a role in solving those problems，but the tough decisions are shifting to the political front.Does it make any sense to allow continued high density developments along the nation′s coastline？ Are some areas just too vulnerable to hurricanes and coastal erosion？ Should New Orleans be saved？ How about Kivalina？■E)And here′s one more：How much time do we have？ Probably a lot less than we think.There is mounting evidence that changes in global climate will feed upon each other，and nowhere is that more evident than in the Arctic.Warmer winters are causing the permafrost (冰冻层)to melt，which in turn， releases more carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere，which cause the temperature to go up， infinitely.■F)Millions of acres of Alaska′s forests have been wiped out in recent years because warmer winters have allowed insects，particularly spruce beetles，to thrive， turning once-green forests into brown morgues.We aren′t going to be able to stop that，but it may be possible to slow it down.And one idea shows just how desperate the situation has become.■G)Since the 1970s，scientists have talked about taking bold initiatives to counteract our sins of the past and gain control over the weather.Maybe we could build our own volcanoes that would spew (喷涌)tons of climate-cooling sulfates into the upper atmosphere each year to offset the greenhouse gas emissions.■H)This nuclear winter scenario would require injecting about as much stuff into the upper atmosphere as the eruption of Mt.Pinatubo in 1991，according to researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder.That might gain us about 20 years before it all hits the fan， according to the researchers， who say they aren′t pushing for this program，although their computer model says it would help.But the scientists themselves are probably worded about the most likely outcome.More politicians would decide to put off any solutions for 20 years.These difficult decisions need not be met with panic，unless they are delayed too long.But it will require cooperation on a national level that has been rarely seen in the past.And that won，t be easy to accomplish because not everybody faces the same kind of problems from global climate change.■I)The town I live in is also in Alaska，more than 1，000 miles from Kivalina.Frankly，I could use a little global warming， and the consequences here are likely to be mild，at least compared to Kivalina.And some communities will clearly benefit from global warming.More rain in some areas will mean better farming.But weather will probably become more unpredictable， even if we build a few artificial volcanoes，and storms will likely be more powerful.It′s not the end of the world， but it could all be made a lot easier if political leaders would do the hard thing and make the tough decisions.We have a little time.We need to use it wisely.The ceremony to commemorate a 3-million-dollar sea wall in Kivalina was abolished because the sea wall was mined.
