She and I got to the checkout counter, and she realized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list. She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed. “Ill be right back.” she said.She was gone just a few minutes, but at that time, I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up. I was left staring at the cashier, who was staring at me. “Do you have money for me, son?” she said. “Ill need to be paid.” I didnt realize she was just trying to please herself. So I stood there, ashamed and embarrassed. By the time my mom returned, I was angry. “You left me here with no money! This lady asked me for the money, and I had nothing to give her.”Now that Im an adult, youll never catch me with less than $200 in my wallet. I want to be prepared in case I need it. Ive always admired people who are over-prepared. In college, I had a classmate named Norman. One day he was giving a speech on an overhead projector(投影仪) and in the middle of his talk, the light bulb（灯泡）on the projector blew out. We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new projector.“Its Okay.” he announced. “Theres nothing to worry about.”We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out. He had brought along a spare bulb for the overhead projector. Who could even think of that?I often told my students, “When you go into the wilderness, the only thing you can depend on is what you take with you.” And essentially, the wilderness is anywhere but your home or office. So take money. Pack a light bulb. Be prepared. 25. Why did the cashier ask a seven-year-old boy to pay for the purchases? A. The boy was shopping by himself B. The boys mother asked her to do so C. The boys mother was away for something else D. The cashier was playing a joke on him26. Why was the boy angry with his mother? A. His mother left him alone B. He lost face in front of the cashier C. His mother forgot to buy something D. He had just quarreled with the cashier27. Why did Norman bring a spare bulb with him? A. He was always well-prepared B. His speech was about bulbs C. He knew the classroom equipment was of poor quality D. He knew the bulb on the projector would blow out28. What do the two stories tell us? A. Accidents happen almost every day B. Money is the key that opens all doors. C. In fair weather, prepare for a rainy day D. Chances favor those who are well-preparedCIn the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know itAnd even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he isThat is what “Keeping up with the Joneses” is aboutIt is the story of someone who tries to look as rich as his neighborsThe expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur MomandHe told this story about himselfHe began earning $125 a week at the age of 23That was a lot of money in those daysHe got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York CityWhen he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every dayWhen he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighborsIt was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep upThe race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of lifeThey moved back to an apartment (公寓房间) in New York CityMomand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighborsHe saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short storiesHe called it Keeping up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around youMomands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 yearsPeople never seem to get tired of keeping up with the JonesesAnd there are “Joneses” in every city of the worldBut one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, MrJones always seems to be ahead29. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they_ A. want others to know or to think that they are rich B. hope to be rich people like their neighbors C. want to hide their wealth from other people D. would like to be common people30Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is_A. an important name for important peopleB. a popular name in the United StatesC. the name of the neighbor he did not likeD. a name which people did not use any longer31. According to the writer, it is _ to keep up with the JonesesA. correct B. interestingC. impossible D. goodDI travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”（风格）of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused（困惑）in Japan because most streets there dont have names; in Japan, people use landmarks（地标）in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat；in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example , people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles , California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it is about five minutes from here.” You say , “Yes , but how many miles away is it ?”They dont know .Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea .” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I dont know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan !32. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually _.A. describe the place carefully B. show him a map of the place C. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places 33. What is the place where people measure distance in time ?A. New York . B. Los Angeles .C. Kansas . D. Iowa 34. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer _.A. to save time B. to cheat himC. to be polite D. for fun 35. What can we infer from the text ?A. Its important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B. Its useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C. People have similar understandings of politeness.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Quick tips for better time managementAre you a good time manager?
