24、o a drive-through to pick up a cold drink or a quick bite to eat. It was so easy to use my card for a small purchase. For me, I got a lot of satisfaction from fast food. One day I sat down and calculated that I was spending a surprising $40 a week on fast food. This was a lot of iced coffee and hamb

25、urgers! Instead of reducing my guilty pleasures, I decided to give myself a strong budget to reduce my consumption. Every Monday I placed an envelope with $20 in my purse. That was my fast food budget for the entire week. If there was anything left over at the end of the week, it was mine to save or

26、 spend. If I spent all of the money during the week, there were no more fast food stops that week. The budget made me more mindful of my purchases. Instead of purchasing a large drink from Sonic. I would purchase a small. It was still satisfying but not nearly as pricey. Instead of eating a whole me

27、al, I would pick the part that I actually wanted. Many days, the thought of hanging onto the money for a special purpose meant more to me than the instant satisfaction of fast food. I never really felt unhappy because it was a conscious choice to spend or save with each purchase. Envelope budget kep

28、t me honest. I had a clear idea how much money was spent each week on fast food purchases. I started to bring my lunches more often to save more money for the week. It was a fun challenge to see how much I could save every week. Changing the way I spent on fast food not only helped my budget, but im

29、proved my weight. In the first month I was able to get rid of 5 pounds by simply changing the way I approached spending on fast food. Now I am more likely to bring my lunch than to buy it. I am not upset, but empowered to make positive choices to improve my life.59. According to Paragraph 1, the aut

33、 years, books about the grammar, pronunciation and punctuation(標(biāo)點(diǎn))of English have been written by the dozen, and sold extremely well, reflecting peoples love of the English language. People want to defend the “correct” use of their language, but also to preserve its ability to evolve along with soci

34、ety. Lynne Trusss book Eats, Shoots & Leaves is an excellent example of these two opposite ideas. Its title shows the way that punctuation can change meaning in a sentence. “Eats shoots and leaves” is a perfectly normal description of a pandas diet: he eats the shoots and leaves of bamboo trees. But

35、 the position of the comma(逗號(hào)) turns those nouns into verbs, and makes up a ridiculous little story: the panda eats (his dinner), he shoots (a gun), and he leaves (the building). Its a silly joke, but it shows how changing something as simple as a comma can change the entire meaning of a sentence. P

36、ublished in 2003, Eats, Shoots & Leaves was an unexpectedly huge success. It is easy to assume the typical reader of this kind of book as the humorless type. However, the book has sold thousands and thousands of copiesit must be appealing to a wide range of people. The books winning secret is this:

37、it makes some serious points about language and punctuation, but also has a light-hearted dimension, and uses stories and jokes to show its points. It has invited some tough criticism, too, especially from the US. On a broader range, Eats, Shoots & Leaves has opened up a lot of public debate on Trus

38、ss ideas. Whether they agree with her or not, punctuation and grammar has become a popular topic to discuss. In every generation there will be people who think that the standard of language is in decline, and who are more than happy to write to the newspapers to express their concern and opinions. T

39、russs book also appeals to those who think that texting and blogging(博客) is lowering the standard of literacy. Whether the standard of the English language is decreasing, or simply evolving into new forms, the success of Eats, Shoots & Leaves proves that this is a subject that many English speakers

43、tandardsD Role-Playing in Child Development Playing is a key component in the learning process for virtually all of the children. There are various ways in which children play, but one of the most important is role-playing. This involves a child engaging in an activity during which he or she pretend

44、s to be another person. Experts on child development believe that role-playing can increase the connections in childrens brains that help them learn. Language skills are some of the most important aspects of learning. When children role-play, they must work out steps that need to be taken to complet

45、e a task, and create plans to act out a story. These activities enable children to develop their oral language skills. They become able to organize others and to give directions. Childrens social skills can also be developed. When engaged in group activities, children have different roles. Some are

46、leaders while others are followers. At times, the children will disagree, so they must learn to negotiate and compromise with one another, and they must learn to apologize when they have strong arguments or disagreements as well. Children further learn about cooperation and sharing and, hopefully, b

47、egin to understand things from another persons point of view. Besides helping children learn some kinds of skills, role-playing fosters childrens imaginations and can therefore assume a number of forms. For example, boys may pretend to shave like their fathers or perform various tasks around their h

48、omes. Girls, meanwhile, often pretend to be mothers to do some daily tasks, particularly if it involves caring for young babies. Sometimes children may imagine belonging to a group of superheroes or imitate(模仿)real-life situations. They might dress up and assume different roles. Another example is t

49、he performing of stories they read in books, which is also very common when they role-play. Another beneficial aspect of role-playing is that it can help children deal with certain actions that may cause them emotional(情感的) pain, such as the fear they face when going to school for the first time or

50、making a visit to the doctor. If children role-play situations like these beforehand, the first that they experience when doing these actions in reality frequently lessons. For this reason, experts encourage parents to allow their children to role-play and even to take part in these activities to he

51、lp their children master their fears. Role-playing can benefit children in many ways. There is no activity for which young children are better prepared than fantasy play. Nothing is more dependable and risk-free, and the dangers are only pretend.67. From the authors description in Paragraph 4, we le

52、arn that children often_ . A. involve daily-life activities in groups B. act out the activities that their parents do C. perform daily tasks instead of their parents D. change real-life situation when role-playing68.

53、eness of grammar B. receive benefits from their emotional pain C. improve creativity by using their imaginations D. understand how to be both leaders and followers69.
