Today, Tony and I went to the countryside by the bus for the Strawberry-picking Festival. It starts at 8:00 in the morning.

The air was much clean than that in the city when we live. During the festival, we enjoyed sweet strawberries or watched some exciting performances. At about 5:00pm, we had to say goodbye for the garden. Tony and I enjoyed us and hoped to visit there again. How an unforgettable experience!

Telling the truth is a good habit. 1. Here is a story of a man who did a lot of bad things, but his promise to tell the truth saved him.
Once a man came to the prophet(预言家) Muhammad and said,“ I have many bad habits. 2. ” The prophet said, “Give up telling lies first and always speak the truth.” The man promised to do so and went home.
3. Before setting out, he thought for a moment about the promise he made with the prophet. “If tomorrow the prophet asks me where I have been, what shall I say? If I tell the truth, I would be punished for stealing.” So the man decided not to steal that night, and gave up this bad habit.
The next day, he felt like drinking wine. 4. He said to himself, “I cannot tell the prophet that I drank some wine. And if I speak the truth, people will hate me, because a Muslim is not allowed to drink wine.” So he gave up the idea of drinking wine.
In this way, whenever the man thought of doing something bad, he remembered his promise to tell the truth at all time. 5. So if you always speak the truth, you can be a good person.
A. You will make more friends in this way. B. One by one, he gave up all his bad habits. C. Which one of them should I give up first? D. At night he was about to go out to steal. E. Is there any good way to give up my bad habits? F. When he was about to do so, he thought of his promise again. G. If you always speak the truth, you can save yourself from a lot of trouble! |

Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home’, but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education.” says Jacobs.
The Jacobs family did work out a solution. They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.
“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.
1.How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?
A. They asked their kids to come home.
B. They borrowed $20,000 from the school.
C. They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.
D. They got help from the school and the federal government.
2.Financial aid administrators believe that .
A. more families will face the same problem as the Jacobs
B. the government will receive more letters of complaint
C. college tuition fees will double soon
D. America’s unemployment will fall
3.What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?
A. They blamed the government for the tuition increase.
B. Their income remained steady in the last decade.
C. They will try their best to send kids to college.
D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.
4.According to the last paragraph, the government will .
A. provide most students scholarships
B. dismiss some financial aid administrators
C. stop the companies from making student loans
D. go on providing financial support for college students
