     It's only $79.99! How many times have you heard those words on TV or read them in a newspaper
ad? The word "'only" is supposed to make you think that this is a great price for the product.
     But think about this. How long does it take you to earn $79.99? What do you have to do to get that
money? The little thing that's only $79.99 is worth (價(jià)值) almost 12 hours of your work! And if you are
making less than this, how long will it take to earn that much money?
     So as you stand in a store, telling yourself that you have to buy something, think about how long you
must work to earn the money to pay for it. Is that $85 T-shirt really worth the time to earn $85? You
could probably find a similar shirt at another store for under $35, right?
     Even if your parents are still buying your clothes, someone has to work for the money. If you spend
money on one thing, you don't have money to spend on anything else.So if you spend $85 on those jeans, you cannot put it in the bank, and you cannot go snowboarding(單板滑雪)or to the movies with friends
because you don't have the money to go.
1. Saying that it's "only $ 79.99" may make you think that it ____
A. is expensive    
B. is important      
C. is cheap       
 D. cannot be accepted
2. If you earn $10 an hour, how long must you work to buy an $85 T-shirt?
A. More than 8 hours.                
B. More than 12 hours.
C. Less than 8 hours.                  
D. Less than 7 hours.
3. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. The newspaper ad may use some words to promote sales. (促銷)
B. The $ 79.99 T-shirt doesn't have good quality.
C. The T-shirt may make you spend the money you planned to use for some other things
D. You can find a similar T-shirt at another store for a lower price.
4. From the passage we know that ______.
A. the T-shirt isn't worth buying
B. the T-shirt is too expensive
C. we shouldn't believe the newspaper ad
D. before we buy something, we should think about what it is really worth
5. We can probably find the passage in a (n) ______.
A. advertisement  
B. Youth Newspaper
C. Year-book      
D. story-book

     It was already late when we started going to the next town. It was about 15 miles away on the other
 side of the hill. There we felt sure that we would find a bed for the night. Darkness fell along the narrow
  road to the hill. As we climbed higher, it became colder and rain began to fall. It was difficult at times to
  see the road, so I asked my friend John to drive slowly.
     We travelled for about 20 miles but we couldn't find the town. We were beginning to feel worried.
  Then the car stopped. We found that we were out of petrol (汽油), so we decided to spend the night in
  the car.
     After eating some bread, I tried to go to sleep at once, but John, a poor sleeper, got out of the car after
  a few minutes and went for a walk up the hill. Soon, he came running back. From the top of the hill he
 saw the lights of the town in the valley below. At once, we tried to push the car to the top of the hill. In
 less than an hour we were in the town, and we found a hotel there easily. 
1. What was the weather like that night?
    _____________________________.
2. What did the writer mean by saying, "...we would find a bed for the night"?
    _____________________________.
3. Why did the car stop?
