Life on the street is a constant struggle for homeless people.In times of extreme weather conditions,that struggle becomes even more difficult.Recently,homeless people across Chicago faced freezing to death if they couldn’t find shelter for the night.

Thankfully,one local woman refused to let that happen.On January 30,2018,34-year-old Candice Payne,a local managing broker,was lucky enough to have shelter from the dangerous conditions.

“It was -20℃,and I knew they were going to be sleeping on ice and I had to do something,” said Payne.Payne started brainstorming different ways she could possibly help.Finally,she decided to see if there were any rooms available at local inns and hotels that she could get to help those stuck on the street.

For Payne,her mission was personal.According to Payne,her husband,Carlos Callahan, had lived on the streets at one point in his life.Based on his experiences,Payne knew that the homeless people still out on the street desperately needed help and that if she didn’t step up to help,no one likely would.

However,when Payne explained what she was trying to do,many of the local hotels refused to allow her to pay for the rooms as they didn’t want homeless people to stay in their rooms.“No one wanted them,but one hotel,the Amber Inn,was nice enough to allow me to buy the rooms,” said Payne.

Payne’s selfless act made news across the country.However,she insisted she had never done it for attention.“I am a regular person,” said Payne,who spent thousands of dollars of her own money to help complete strangers.“It all sounded like a rich person did this,but I’m just a little black girl from the South Side.”

4.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

C.Her desire to become famous.

D.The coldness of local hotels.

7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

B.A Woman’s Curiosity Brings a Reward

C.A Regular Woman Makes a Difference

D.A Couple’s Brave Act Moves the Country

A first-year undergraduate student in Chengdu recently complained online that her mother refused to raise her monthly allowance to 4,500 yuan ($ 633) even when she said her current allowance 2,000 yuan was not enough to cover her expenses,sparking a debate on how much money a college student needs per month.One expert shares his views on the issue with China Daily:Students should pursue education,not comfort.

Even for a college student studying in a first-tier city in China,2,000 yuan is enough to cover all his or her monthly expenses.In fact,for a college student in Chengdu a monthly allowance of 2,000 yuan is more than enough.According to a survey conducted by a bookkeeping platform,the average monthly expense for an undergraduate in cities other than Beijing,Shanghai and Hangzhou was less than 2,000 yuan in 2019;for Chengdu,it was 1,900 yuan.

Claiming that she can hardly afford new clothing and cosmetics with her 2,000 yuan monthly allowance,the undergraduate student in Chengdu criticized her mother for refusing to raise her pocket money.Her “meager” allowance,she said,prevented her from buying branded goods that her hostel-mates enjoyed.

By the time a person enters a college,she or he should have developed a healthy consumption habit.And a youth should adjust her or his consumption according to her or his family income.On a deeper level,the money they spend in college should depend on how much they value their parents’ hard work.Besides,some college students could take up part-time jobs to meet their monetary needs if they feel their parents don’t or can’t send them enough money.In this way they can also learn to meet the requirements of life in the future and develop healthy consumption habits.More importantly,they should always bear in mind that education is their top priority in college.

8.What’s the expert’s attitude to the issue about the undergraduate student?

A.Critical. B.Neutral.

C.Supportive. D.Unconcerned.

9.In 2019,the undergraduates’ average monthly expense in Hangzhou was 　　　. 

A.more than 2,000 yuan B.633 dollars

C.less than 2,000 yuan D.1,000 dollars

10.Which of the following best explains “meager” in Paragraph 3?

A.Empty. B.Pitiful.

C.Mean. D.Fruitful.

11.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A.College students should keep their expenses in line with their family conditions.

B.College students’ consumption level is determined by their parents.

C.College students should take up a part-time job to cover their expenses.

D.College students should deal with their problems about living expenses reasonably.

China launched the last satellite of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in southwest China’s Sichuan Province at 9:43 a.m.BJT (0143 GMT) on June 23.

The satellite,carried by a Long March-3B carrier rocket,is the 30th BDS-3 satellite and the 55th of the whole BeiDou satellite family.The launch marked the completion of the country’s domestically developed BeiDou constellation(星群),one of four global navigation networks alongside with the United States’ GPS,Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo.When fully completed,the system will offer its users services including high-precision positioning and short message communication,which will bring new highlights to global navigation satellite systems.

Weighing over 10,000 pounds,the final BDS satellite is the largest of its kind in the family,and is filled with propellants for the movement in orbit,said deputy chief designer Liu Tianxiong.“The reason why we launched this one in the final stage is to round out the navigation network,”Liu added.Featuring radio-navigation,radio-determination and enhanced timing synchronization(同步) functions,the last satellite,after joining BDS-3 family,will allow the constellation to provide more cost-effective navigation services,which rapidly wins the global market.

Based on the DFH-3B satellite platform,one of the largest platforms in service in China,the spacecraft is designed to work in orbit for at least 12 years.The latest launch came 26 years after the construction of the BeiDou-1 officially started in 1994.The first generation of the BeiDou system made China the third country after the U.S.and Russia to have a satellite navigation system.By 2000,the construction of the BDS-1 was completed,which was mainly used to broadcast positioning and timing signals over China.12 years later,the construction of BDS-2,designed to provide navigation services over the broader Asia-Pacific region,was completed.Now,the construction of BDS-3,with 24 satellites in medium-Earth orbits,three in inclined geosynchronous satellite orbits and three in geostationary orbits,is scheduled to provide services worldwide.

12.What can we know about the last satellite of the BDS?

A.It is the most developed of the global navigation networks.

B.It is much more powerful than the United States’ GPS.

C.It was made by joint efforts from many countries.

D.Its launch marks the developed BeiDou constellation is completed.

13.What makes the BDS more competitive in navigation services?

A.Precise positioning.

B.Short message communication.

C.Timing synchronization functions.

D.More cost-effective navigation services.

14.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A.The design and expected service life of the BDS.

B.The service objects of the BDS in different stages.

C.Different periods of the construction of the BDS.

D.The difficulty to be overcome in navigation services.

15.What can we infer from the passage?

A.The BDS is promoting the development of education in China.

B.The BDS in China has been the best navigation system around the world.

C.The latest launch of satellite indicates the great improvement of the BDS.

D.Great achievements in the construction of the BDS really don’t come easily.

Teach Children the Value of Money

As we’re moving towards a more cashless society and real pocket money is becoming increasingly unpopular,children increasingly no longer understand the value of physical money and simple tasks such as working out how many coins are needed to buy a toy or sweets will become out-of-use.Education around money management and establishing healthy money habits at a young age have become even more vital.

　1　 Start with planning an activity together and then define a budget.Then,research what things you will buy,work out which items may be better to buy.As you carry out each part of the activity,make sure to save all the receipts,and then evaluate if you managed to stay within,or broke your budget.　2　 

Giving your children or encouraging them to suggest a regular chore can be rewarded with some pocket money.　3　 For example,14-year-olds are often making their own beds,so introducing a reward for such a “chore” is not a good idea;however,emptying the dishwasher might be just right for a nine-year-old.These types of chores will help them to get an understanding of earning money and the relationship between time,effort and money.Educate children through encouragement by paving the way for them to act on their own curiosity and interest.　4　 

Coming up with and doing activities or day-to-day tasks together with your children,is not only much more enjoyable for your children,but it also helps them to become more confident and decisive about making their own decisions about savings,interest rates,or allowances.　5　 That is bound to pave the way to breaking the trend of financial illiteracy. 

A.That is one of the most important factors for learning.

B.Involve them in everyday money management activities.

C.This can be done with real-money or a digital piggy bank.

D.Giving your child regular pocket money,big enough to cover basic wants.

E.They will become more financially independent and wiser to online spending.

F.Such a chore beyond what is considered to be done at a certain age is the best.

G.This practice of setting a budget is very useful and fun for both parents and children.
