From American Express, wedding guests will,on average,spend $673 on each wedding they attend this year. It includes airfare ($225), hotel ($170), dining out ($116) and dressing up ($95) and the gift. If you have weddings to attend this year, here are some tips for you to avoid breaking the bank.
1. Book flights in advance
The moment you decide to attend a wedding is the time to check flight prices at the best time. Plane fares are higher in the summer, especially in July and August. Booking in advance will save you money, as will watch for sales on lower-cost carriers like JetBlue and Frontier. You can check Google Flights for a calendar of prices showing the cheapest days to fly from apps like Hopper to get real-time alerts when a fare is at its lowest price point.
2. Don't blow your budget on the gift
If you've got the money, an expensive gift is lovely. But there's no need to take out loans to prove your love for the happy couple. Skip an expensive necklace by giving (an appropriate amount of) cash instead. To save on the gift, consider making one: A photo album or scrapbook of memories with the bride and groom shows how much you care. You could also share the gift with other guest(s) or even make gifts with DIY ideas by yourself to save money.
3. Use old dresses and suits
You don't always have to be on a new dress for a wedding. While men have the option of repeating their suits, women are more likely to spend money on new clothes for the special occasion. But before you take out your wallet, consider reinventing something already in your closet. Belts, colorful scarves, shoes can bring life to any outfit.
21. How much does a wedding guest spend on the gift on average?
A. $673 B. $225 C. $67 D. $95
22. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. People always wear their new clothes at the wedding.
B. Men are more likely to wear new clothes to attend a wedding.
C. It saves you money to creatively wear old clothes.
D. Ladies tend to wear their favorite suits for a wedding.
23. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To help people save money while holding their weddings.
B. To give some tips on saving money to attend a wedding.
C. To introduce general expenses of attending a wedding.
D. To state some aspects to be considered while holding weddings

It had been a long winter. Bitter cold, snowy days had hit us again and again. On the warmer days there had been little sunshine, but only cold, icy rain. The sun had become such a rare sight that I had to look at a picture of it on my wall calendar from time to time to remember what it looked like. The grass had remained brown and dormant(潜伏的)in the grassland. My own backyard had turned into a muddy mess that tried to steal the shoes right off my feet as I walked on it. My heart ached and longed for spring, and my own good cheer had trouble rising up against the continuous, cold, gray days.
The rain poured down on me as I walked my dogs, holding their leashes in my icy fingers. I looked up at the sky hoping to see the sun smiling down with its warm, golden face. But it was no use. It was then, however, that I saw it. It wasn’t the smiling face of the sun in the sky but a little, yellow face peeking(微露出) through the mud. It was a tiny flower, and it filled my heart with hope and joy. I smiled and thanked God for this little sign that winter would soon be over and that spring would arrive. I felt my good cheer rising up at last and I promised God that I would share it with everyone I could.
One day that tiny flower’s seeds will fill the grassland with little, yellow faces smiling up from the ground. Its work will make this world a better and more beautiful place. May we all do the same. May we all shine our light and share our love even on the coldest and grayest days. May we all help to share a bit of spring in winter. May we all work to make this world better and brighter even when it is at its darkest.
24. Why did the author look at a picture of sun on a wall calendar from time to time?
A. Because she hadn’t seen sunshine for a long time.
B. Because she wanted to check how long the cold winter would last.
C. Because she couldn’t go out.
D. Because she looked forward to spring.
25. The author felt _______ before she found the tiny flower.
A. worried B. angry C. hopeful D. frustrated
26. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The tiny flower was found in the author’s backyard.
B. The tiny flower inspired the author very much.
C. The author would share the tiny flower with others.
D. The author would never mind the cold weather.
27. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. A Cold Winter B. A Tiny flower
C. Sharing Makes the World D. Hopes Make Our Life

Chinese has overtaken French, Spanish and German to become one of the most promising foreign languages for job seekers in the UK. Research shows graduates in Chinese earn an average yearly salary of 31,000 pounds or more.
Chinese students set themselves up for a different university experience from others who take traditional subjects. While an English student may have as little as six hours of a week, those studying Chinese are in class for most of the day.“I had a lot of friends on other courses who didn’t do much in first or second year. You can’t play at Chinese. You have to spend hours and hours writing characters,” says Hannah, who graduated in Chinese Studies from Sheffield University.“The first year was really difficult. Most of my friends admitted at one point to crying because of the pressure. I was almost told at one point that I might want to reconsider and drop out.”
So are the evenings in learning characters while your friends are at the student bar really worth it? Despite the painful studying experience, most of the graduates think so. They use Chinese in their chosen careers, and would not have been in the jobs they do now without their knowledge of the language.
Liberty now works for the civil service in Beijing. She earned a place on the Department for International Development graduate scheme with a salary of over 30,000 pounds within two years.“The degree was absolutely worth it. Looking around at people I know who have studied French or Spanish at university, there’s not such a chance to use it in the workplace.”
Hannah has set her apart in the workplace, but she warns ambitious students to think about whether they would really want to live in China in the future before setting their sights on a profitable career path. “Some people think they are going to learn Chinese and then be a big success, but I think it’s important to be quite realistic about that.”
28. What does the underlined phrase “play at” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Treat seriously B. Learn lazily
C. Talk amusingly D. Cheat cleverly
29. What can you learn from Liberty’s and Hannah’s career experience?
A. Chinese degree helped them to find satisfying jobs.
B. There are students learning characters at the student bar.
C. Graduates with French or Spanish degree have no chance to find jobs.
D. By learning Chinese, people are to have a successful career.
30. What’s Hannah’s attitude to choosing Chinese as a possible career?
A. Doubtful B. Indifferent C. Puzzled D. Objective
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Many foreign college students come to China to seek jobs.
B. Some college students consider dropping out Chinese because of its pressure.
C. Chinese is difficult and college students should be realistic about choosing it.
D. Chinese degree needs painful working, but it is worthy in job seeking.
D
The world's oceans are sick, and getting sicker every day. Two new studies show the warming of Earth's atmosphere is removing oxygen from ocean waters.
Oxygen is necessary for all life in the oceans, except for a few extremely small organisms. And researchers said oxygen levels are low enough to threaten all the ocean life that depends on it.
Denise Breitburg is an ocean scientist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. She is also a member of the Global Ocean Oxygen Network, a team of scientists organized by the United Nations to study the issue. She told the Associated Press, "If you can't breathe, nothing else matters. That pretty much describes it ."
Scientists with the Global Ocean Oxygen Network reported that more than 32 million square kilometers of ocean are low in oxygen. These affected areas reach a depth of about 200 meters. This area is bigger than Africa, the second largest continent. The scientists say the area of low oxygen levels has grown about 16 percent since 1950.
The Global Ocean Oxygen Network's report is the widest reaching look at decreasing oxygen levels in the world's seas so far. Lisa Levin is a professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a co-author of the report. In her words, "The low oxygen problem is the biggest unknown climate change consequence out there."
Levin said past research had shown low oxygen areas that were the result of agricultural pollution. She said past studies also showed how warmer waters had created a lack of oxygen. But Levin said this latest study shows how both problems are connected by common causes and possible solutions.
Co-author Denise Breitburg said that some low oxygen levels in the world's ocean are natural, but not to the extent found. Wind patterns and ocean currents, believed caused by global warming, are preventing oxygen from sinking below the surface of the water. In addition, warmer water does not hold as much oxygen and less oxygen mixes into the water, she said.
32. Why are the world’s oceans sick?
A. Because the ocean life is sick.
B. Because the Earth’s atmosphere is becoming warmer.
C. Because the oxygen is being removed from ocean waters.
D. Because there is too much oxygen to threaten the ocean life.
33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Oxygen being essential to ocean life.
B. Oceans being sicker and sicker.
C. Oxygen being not enough in the ocean.
D. Atmosphere removing oxygen from ocean waters.
34. About _______ million square kilometers of ocean are lack of oxygen in 1950.
A. 32 B. 27.6 C. 37 D. 200
35. From the passage we can learn that_______.
A. all life in the ocean depends on oxygen to live
B. oxygen levels in the ocean are likely to climb
C. air pollution leads to low oxygen levels in oceans
D. cold water holds more oxygen than warm water

Teaching Kids about Kindness
Martin Richard, an 8-year-old peace-loving kid, lost his life when a bomb exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon in 2013. After the tragedy, researchers have been promoting a program, named Kindness Counts, aiming to teach children about kindness. Applying the Kindness Counts study in your home, classroom, or after-school program is easy. The goal is to help kids become more aware of doing acts of kindness and of their feelings of gratitude when they experience pleasant activities. 36
Understand the Importance of Kindness. 37 Although kindness is more a choice than a virtue, learning to be givers shapes children’s values and provides opportunities to develop kindness, a virtue that improves lives and reduces violence and bullying.
Create a Kindness Project.Design an activity where your family or classroom records ONE act of kindness or ONE pleasant activity per day. 38 These activities could include helping with dishes, letting someone else go first, taking care of an animal, hugging someone to make them feel better, etc. Or they might include visits to places and experiences that make us feel good.
Take Time to Share.Take time to share as a family or classroom on a regular weekly basis. Chances of sharing all of what has been happening to you are rare. 39 Share enough so that everyone learns from each other’s acts of kindness and begins to understand the types of experiences that bring gratitude to life. Sharing encourages self-reflection and helps bring meaning to our actions.
40 Form a habit of showing kindness. It may not be practical to keep up a routine where you are sharing from a diary on a regular basis. Reinforcement of the kindness habit comes with practice. Once children get into the habit, it’s easy to share from time to time. Whether it’s planting a peace garden, making a get-well card for a sick friend, or simply inviting someone new to sit at your school lunch table, there are various ways kids can help create a more peaceful world.
A. Keep practicing.
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Learn about the benefits of giving for children.
D. Share your acts of kindness as much as possible.
E. You might call it your “Kindness Project” or “Happiness Diary”.
F. The following steps help enable children to be givers of kindness.
G.Therefore, rather than sharing everything in your diary, share the highlights of your week.
