Mother’s Day
When I was in the third grade, Mother’s Day came around much too quickly; I found myself empty-handed with nothing to give my 1 on her special day.So I was 2 when an announcement over the loud speaker said that one of the older graders would be selling pins that said “No.1 Mom”.It may not sound like much, but to an 8-year-old, it’s perfect.
So each day I told myself that the following day I would 3 the money to buy the pin, but I always forgot.And I was very disappointed when the principal and a few of the older kids selling pins came into my classroom and announced that it was the 4 day to buy them.
I was always afraid of my principal.If you stepped out of line, she was quick to set you straight.On this day, however, my principal was in a good mood.And she must have heard me tell my classmates I’d forgotten my 5 again.I wasn’t 6 , but she knew I really wanted to buy a pin.
After she left, I got called to her office.I’d never been there—ever—so I was terrified.When I arrived, she told me to come to her desk, and she pulled out the pin I’d had my eye on for 7 .“The kids gave me this to give to my mother,” she began, “but my mom passed away, so I want you to have it.”
Taking the pin, I didn’t know what to say.I probably thanked her.I proudly presented this free luxury to my mother.
I don’t know if my mom still has the pin, and I don’t know if the principal remembers giving it to me.But I will never forget that act of 8 from someone I’d never expected it from.

Ⅱ.[2018·东城二模] 阅读理解
Georgina hated wrapping Christmas gifts.It was hard to make them look good.She couldn’t fold and cut cleanly, and the gifts just looked sad under the Christmas tree as if someone had sat upon them.No one praised Georgina’s wrapping, and they just tore off and threw away her wasted colorful paper straightaway.But her sister, Jeannette, could wrap gifts perfectly.It was almost a shame to open Jeannette’s gifts sometimes because it would destroy her wrapping jobs.
This year, Georgina had a new plan.She started with her brother.He liked UFOs, so she wrapped his gifts in aluminum foil(铝箔纸) to make them shiny.They looked really nice reflecting the lights of the Christmas tree.
For her perfect sister, Jeannette, it would be hard to make things perfect enough, because she was very picky.To make fun of this, all of her gifts were wrapped in pink and red paper, and small mirrors hung from the gifts, so she could see herself when she was opening her gifts.It was a fun idea.
Dad loves reading humorous stories in newspapers, so Georgina bought some newspapers and covered his gifts with funny stories.He would surely laugh as he opened his gifts.
Mom was so hard-working but managed to present herself at her best.It was hard to figure out her gift-wrapping.Finally, Georgina decided to wrap the gifts up in an apron(围裙).
She was done, and she couldn’t wait to see their reactions(反应)!
The next morning, everyone was pleasantly surprised about how thoughtful and cool her wrapping job was.Even perfect Jeannette was amazed, and very impressed.Everyone thanked her, and they probably liked the wrapping better than the gifts inside.They had a wonderful time together, and that was what really counted.

Ⅲ.[2018·丰台一模] 回答问题
If you’re going to travel the world this summer, you should make up a travel budget(预算) before you hit the road.This budget will help you know how much you need to save before leaving home so that you don’t need to call mom and dad, begging for help halfway through your trip.Here are three tips to help you plan your money for the trip you have planned for this summer vacation.
·Pick a location that fits your budget
The countries you choose to visit will have the greatest influence on the necessary size of your travel budget.Road tripping across America and backpacking through Europe, while popular, are two of the more expensive choices for a vacation.In contrast, a visit to Asia or South America will be much less expensive than back home.
·“Fun” activities are expensive
It seems to be necessary to plan your travel budget around three major costs…
1.Transportation
2.Hotels
3.Food
Paying for these necessities is part of travel, but you might be surprised to learn that they could add up to less than half of the money you’ll spend abroad.If you’re like me, your “dream vacation” includes more than sitting in your hotel bed.
When I was living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, I owned a small apartment and ate delicious Asian noodles 3 times per day.With the room at $5 per night and meals for $1, I spent about $8 per day.
One of the coolest things to do in Chiang Mai is to go on a zip line adventure.It cost me $60 to get into the trees, which is about what I paid to live for 1 week in Thailand.If you want to go on an excursion(远足) every day, you’ll easily spend five times as much on “fun” as you do on necessities.This is true all over the world, so make sure you plan excursions into your travel budget ahead of time.
·Plan for the unexpected
You won’t always be prepared for everything that comes your way while traveling.You need at least $1,000 to help you deal with the unexpected.
First, there’s the good kind of unexpected…
When I was traveling through France on my summer vacation three years ago, I had no idea that the annual bull running festival(奔牛节) was happening in Spain.A traveler who had just arrived from Spain told me about the festival and because I had some extra money I was able to change my plans and attend!
There’s also the bad kind of unexpected…
When I entered Thailand, I forgot my visa expiration date(签证截止日期).I ended up overstaying by nearly 1 month! When I crossed the border(边境), I was politely told I needed to pay the Thai government nearly $400!
Giving yourself some extra money is very important to your safety and the enjoyment of your trip.
12.What should you do if you’re going to travel the world?
13.How much did the writer spend getting into the trees in Thailand?
14.What does the writer think of going on an excursion?
15.Why could the writer attend the annual bull running festival?
16.What’s the passage mainly about?
