During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany’s mom.
Tiffany’s mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn’t give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was annoyed with her.
Whenever I didn’t get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany’s mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say “Poor Tiffany”. I couldn’t understand her. “She shouldn’t be feeling sorry for Tiffany!” I thought. “She should be feeling sorry for me.”
One day, I couldn’t help saying to Mom, “Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?” I burst out crying.
My mom sat down next to me and said softly. “Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught.”
I looked up at her. “What are you talking about?”
Mom said with care, “One day she will really want something. Maybe she’ll find out that she can’t have it. Her mother won’t always be around to give her money, and what’s more, money can’t buy everything.”
She continued, “I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You’ll know how to look for bargains（便宜货） and save money, but she won’t. You’ll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won’t. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she’ll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you’ve got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food.”
It took some time, but I eventually understood my mom’s words. Now I am a happy and successful woman.

I picked up my two best friends and we were off on a road trip.I had just returned to America from a year abroad in China.So, naturally I wanted to take a trip to Canada.
Montreal, the second largest city in Canada,is a four-hour drive from my home in New Hampshire.We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada.It was the first time I had ever driven across an international border.We turned on the radio to try and find some Canadian stations.
After dropping off our bags at our hotel, we were immediately walking down the famous St Catherine's Street.While we walked, two things surprised us:how cold it was and how well everyone dressed.The streets of Montreal are like a fashion show.Both men and women look like they stepped out of the pages of a magazine.
All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold.Last year it broke the record for the most snowfall in North America.To hide from the cold we went into a small diner because we wanted to order poutine, a very popular snack in Montreal.It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy (肉汁).It is delicious.
However, we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of Montreal is French.It is actually the fifth largest French-speaking city in the world.But since the rest of Canada speak English, plenty of people were there to help.
We spent the rest of the weekend going to many historical churches and monuments in Montreal.But at night we headed to the very modern dance clubs and bars.Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveller can choose whichever direction he wants to go.

C.The citizens from Montreal care much about what they wear.
D.Montreal often holds fashion shows.
10.What can we infer from the passage?
A.The author often went to China for a visit.
B.The people they met in the diner were kind and helpful.
C.All the people in the diner were locals.
D.The author went to Montreal on business.
11.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded (包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
12.According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A.Those who often do sports. B.Those who often watch television.
C.Those who often have meals at home. D.Those who often walk to school.
13.The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because .
A.their parents often cook meals for them
B.they are too busy to go out and play
C.they can' t choose what to eat
D.there are too many fast food shops around
14.The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _______.
A.forcing B.guiding C.driving D.moving
15.The main purpose of the text is to _________.
A.tell a story B.provide facts C.give advice D.compare opinions
