Sectin C(8分)
An 18-year-girl Kayla Perkins explains what is in her bedrm,"I thrw smething n the flr and I knw right where it is. ” Hwever, her parents, Steve and Debrah Perkins, f Mckinney, Texas, haven't caught n. Even Kayla admits that, at the wrst, her rm is a mess. Mst families at sme pint have at least ne child whse rm lks like a landfill. 59 Dirty clthes pile up; dirty dishes get lst in the mess and smell bad; hmewrk is lst; and valuable things are ruined.
Sme parents let it g, believing that a bedrm is private space fr children t manage as they wish. Others lecture their children, ffer rewards fr cleaning, r punish them when they dn't. 60
Mrs Perkins says they picked up all the clthes n Kayla's flr and hid them. They cleaned everything up. When Kayla came back t a bare bedrm, there was screaming and shuting,“Hw can I live withut my clthes?” Mrs Perkins asked Kayla t earn her clthes back by ding husewrk. These days, she keeps her rm clean.
61 Fr example, since Jessica, the 14-year-ld daughter wasn't bthered by the dirty clthes all ver her flr, the whle family started using her rm as a place t stre dirty clthes. Her attitude changed after her family did that. By the time she gave in and cleaned up her rm a few days later, even she was laughing.

IV. Summary Writing(10分)
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s) f thepassage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Early Adpters Fall int a Cstly Trap
Being amng the first t try ut a new piece f technlgy is cl. When yu're the nly member f yur scial circle with the latest ht device, peple stare in fascinatin. Hwever, peple tend t underestimate the csts f this temprary clness, which they pay in mre ways than ne.
Frankly speaking, early adptin is a bad investment. The earliest versins f devices are nt nly expensive, they are als the mst expensive that thse devices wil ever be. Cmpanies are attempting t recver the cst f prductin as fast as they can, and nce the prfits frm early adpters purchases are safely in hands, they can cut the price and shift t the next marketing stage selling the prduct t everyne else. That's why the cst f the riginal iPhne drpped abut $200 nly eight mnths after its release.
Thse wh are first t leap int a new technlgy als risk wasting mney and time n smething that never catch n. In 2006, HD DVDs a new frmat(制式) fr vide entered the market. A few eager cnsumers bught HD DVD players that were discntinued in early 2008. The early adpters were then stuck with pricey devices that just sat n their shelves cllecting dust.
Anther gd reasn t resist the early adptin temptatin is that the first versin f a prduct typical has imperfectins. Fr example, when Micrsft's game machine, Xbx One, was first released in 2013, users immediately began t cmplain f prblems. Devted gamers wrked t find and share slutins t these issues. Such prblems are s cmmn with new technlgy that early adpters are basically unpaid testers.
S dn't jin the first wave f cnsumers wh invest in the latest versin f device, instead, wait and see.
