Iwould open my mouth with a beautiful song in my head, fully expectingmy voice to follow suit only to get an awful tone (音调）in return.Still, without a second thought, I continued to try to sing wheneverpossible. On car journeys, when my now twenty something sons weresmall, they would make a great play ( hands over their ears， shouting No，Mum，stop!) of going through punishment as I sang along to the radio.Never in a hundred years would I have thought about joining a choir. And when I did finally become a member of my first choir 15 years ago, something fantastic happened to my life. From the first time I experienced my voice as something special but also comfortable, in harmony (和谐）with the other singers, I lost my heart to singing. It was like falling in love. And everyone in the choir had the same shining smiles and bright eyes singing made them feel happy, too.Although it is singing itself that makes me happy，it is also how a choir works together. There is something magical about breathing together. The voice of everyone singing quietly together is powerful and excitingly mysterious (神秘的），almost spiritual.And theres the unexpected friendship from the activities we do as a choir: raising money for good causes and taking our singing sometimes to places where people are forgotten and sad.I am now a member of six choirs and，if I can，sing every day of the week. I stand in front of several hundred people，and know that some，if not all，of each song will sound not bad at all.24.What did the writers sons think of her singing when they were small?A. Terrible.B. Comfortable.C. Fantastic.D. Boring.25.When did the writer join her first choir?A. A week ago.B. Six years ago.C. Fifteen years ago. D. Twenty years ago.26.What brings the writer the unexpected friendship?A.Having car journeys with her sons.B.Helping others by singing in choirs.C.Having shining smiles and bright eyes.D.Singing in front of hundreds of people.CParents and children often face the challenges of money. Common topics include setting the pocket money， learning to save， and deciding on expensive purchases. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families balance these goals?“All parents hope theyll raise a money-savvy kid, wholl grow up to be an adult wise in their money use.” says financial (金融的）planner Peg Eddy. The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own.The Tidier family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids earn some. Their son, Ryan, 17, has been helping with their garden since he was 8. Now he has been able to save $7,800. Ryan has come to see the value in making his own money even when other kids are given money by their parents.Learn Now, Save LaterMoney skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady, anotherfinancial planner, says, “Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financial future than their parents or grandparents.”Brady does remind kids. “They shouldnt be thinking about money all the time，” he says.However, they should understand basic rules for earning, saving and investing (投资）.That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past years, the average credit card debt (债 务)of Americans ages 18 to 24 doubled, to nearly $ 3,000. Among high school students, four out of five have never taken a personal-finance class.Talking About ItMany kids want to learn how to manage their money. But parents think only about what kids shouldnt do. Instead, experts say, knowing how to manage money is the best way for kids to get what they really want. That means long-term planning and saving for big expenses like college or a car. It also means thinking of others, by making donations to charity (慈善）.Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She was over $ 2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the debt off slowly herself. “Now every time I use it, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says. “That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.”Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to usemoney doesnt have to mean setting strict rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves.27.Brady believes that.A. parents should attend more personal-finance classesB. parents should teach their kids how to saveC. kids should learn how to manage moneyD. kids should follow the school rules28.Why did the writer say Giselle Lopez “learned the hard way”?A. Because she had to pay the debt off slowly herself.B. Because she had to make donations to charity.C. Because she had difficulty finishing her job.D. Because she had too many credit cards.29.What is the best title for the passage?A. Saving Matters! B. Parents Rule! C. Classes Work! D. Money Counts!DCities are taking interest in electric scooter-share systems as an affordable transportation to cut down on pollution and traffic jams. The electric scooters, which weigh between 30 and 40 pounds, reach speeds of about 15 mph.In September 2017，Santa Monica, California, became the first U.S. city tohave an electric scooter-share service. Users find and unlock one of the more than1，000 scooters with a smartphone app. A ride costs $ 1，and then 0.15 cents foreach minute of riding throughout the beach town.Bird, the startup operating the scooter-share, picks up the scooters every night to them, and places them around Santa Monica each morning ready for peoples use. The company was created by Travis VanderZanden, who once worked in Uber and Lyft, after he realized ridesharing services failed to help with traffic jams and air pollution. Since its September 2017 beginning, Birds system has served more than 50,000 riders who have taken 250,000 trips more than half of which have been in the last month. Its since expanded (扩 张) to Venice, California, and some neighborhoods in Los Angeles and San Diego. Bird plans to expand to lots of markets by the end of 2018.Competitors， backed by millionaires， are appearing. Two bike-share startups LimeBike and Spin, have spoken of plans to provide electric scooters in cities this year.Electric scooters have also gotten the attention of Mayor Pete Buttigieg from South Bend，Indiana. The city is interested in using them as a way to improve public transportation. South Bend was one of the first to use bike-share systems, which allow people to park ridesharing bikes on public land. “We love to be early pioneers，” said Buttigieg. “If we work out the safety problem, we would be open to welcoming the technology.”“We need to make sure these new transportation systems are lawful and safe for users，”Constance Farrell，a spokeswoman for the city of Santa Monica told CNN. “We would like to see electric scooters continue to operate in the city. They are in line with our goal of multi-modal living and carbon-light living. ” According to Farrell，there have been eight accidents, including one with a serious head injury， in Santa Monica after the scooters rolled out. Users are required to have a drivers license (驾 照），shouldnt ride on sidewalks or have other passengers on board.Bird has given out free helmets to some riders and tells its users to ride in bike lanes, but some users ride on sidewalks, and most U.S. streets dont have bike lanes. “The global community of cities is going to have to work this all out for scooters，”Buttigieg said. “They can move unbelievably quickly. Thats exciting，and a little dangerous. ”30. Why did Travis create Bird company?A. Because he received support from millionaires and the government.B. Because many cities had electric scooter-share services.C. Because it is lawful and safe to use electric scooters.D. Because cities need better ridesharing services.31.The words “ are in line with” in Paragragh 6 probably mean “ ”.A. stop B. meet the need of C. change D. are ahead of32.What can we learn from the passage?A.
