Finally, I entered the university．Because of my careful savings, I did not have to work during the school year. Then, summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waitress at night, instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. I even decided to take a class at a community college. This class at the community college saved me $650. It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.
During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling, I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus admissions office answering phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out. The overall situation looked hopeful as I approached my senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous summer. I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks, but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel. About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about! One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money; however, I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.
This experience has shaped me in many important ways. The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic. Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar. It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.

You surely want to take a good school yearbook photo, for you only get to do it once, and it’s what people remember you by for the whole school year．Learn how to look good and look natural in your yearbook photo with these simple tips．
1．Practice smiling in a mirror．It sounds crazy, but figuring out how to make a natural looking smile for the camera does need a little preparation．Don’t be shy! Just imagine you are in front of a camera —hold your head high, look straight into the mirror and smile．Keep practicing until you find out your most attractive smiling face．
2．Choose your color wisely．In yearbook photos, lots of people look good in darker colors because they draw attention to the face．Generally, white often isn’t the best choice because it can make your skin look a bit gray, especially if you’re pale．Besides, stay away from super(超级的)-bright colors ( bright yellow, bright blue) unless you’re really sure they make you look perfect．
3．Avoid unnecessary details．Busy patterns draw attention to themselves in yearbook photos, not to your face and smile．Save them for your everyday fashion experiments．Besides, have your clothes prepared for the day when the yearbook photo is taken．The last thing you want to do is pick out the perfect thing to wear, only to find that it’s in the laundry．
4．Avoid big changes to your appearance．Big changes may not turn out the way you hope．Leave some time to do your hair, such as combing(梳头) it up right before the yearbook photo is taken．Don’t overdo it, since you want your hair to stay in one place and your face to draw all the attention, but go for the "less is more" approach．
1.The best title of this passage is ______．
A． How to Make Yourself Look Good
B． How to Do When Taking a School Photo
C． How to Get Ready for Your School Photo-taking
D． How to Make a Good School Photo Book
2.A bright yellow shirt is not a good choice for taking photos because _______．
A． it reflects light with the brightness
B． it makes people look gray and pale
C． it draws more attention than the face
D． it suits nobody in front of a camera
3.The underlined part "less is more" in the last paragraph means _______．
A． common hair style is more attractive than the over-done
B． simple hair style makes your face more attractive
C． spending less time on hair makes you look more attractive
D． combing the hair up right costs less time but means more
4.During the preparation for photo-taking ______．
A． a camera is needed
B． clothes should be in the laundry

When I paid for the bicycle repair, the repairman told me, “ No change, Professor Pan. We’re friends.”
“I’d rather pay,” I replied. “If it’s free, I can’t afford it.”
Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, “We’re friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place.
According to the Americans, “There’s no free lunch,” meaning that there’s a price for everything, and I’m always looking around to figure out what this means.
Many of our neighbors have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him. “Wait until you have something major to fix!” he insists.
Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money. But cash can’t make up for the greatest gift – friendship.
When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,” I said, “they are professors, with plenty to do. But probably you’re right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I.”
And I joined the group. We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived. One man said, “They were pocket-sized when you came here. Now they’re taller than you. How time flies.”
How life flies. And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep. They freely give of their time, never too busy to help a friend. And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive. So the next time someone says, “No charge. We’re friends.” I will thank them heartily. But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.
1.Why did the author insist on paying the repairman while he was offered free repairs?
A. Because he was an upright man.
B. Because he didn’t know the repairman.
C. Because he thought it natural to pay for other’s service.
D. Because he didn’t want to help others in return.
2.Generally, the author thinks that ___________ .
A. Chinese are generous and always ready to help their friends
B. Chinese are good at exchange of equal values
C. Chinese are free enough to drink and chat with their friends
D. Chinese are helpful but don’t treasure time
3.The best title for the passage should be “_________ ”.
A. Still No Free Lunch B. A Good Lesson from Chinese
C. True Help or Not D. Learn to Both Give and Receive
4.Which of the following is TRUE?
A. All the Chinese help foreigners on purpose.
B. Chinese like to ask for help.
C. The author thinks little of the Chinese way of life.
D. The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy the limited life.

Every Wednesday，I go to Cantata Adult Life Services，a local retirement community in Brookfield，Illinois，US，with my classmates to do community service．
Our visits last about an hour，and we bring 25—30 students every time．We play board games and cards with the elderly while we’re there．
You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about“life back then”，but nothing compares to talking to the people who were actually there．Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible．
Whether it was talking to 98-year-old“Hurricane Hilda”about her glory days as a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor，I was completely mesmerized by every single memory the elderly wanted to share with me．Even those who don’t have amazing memories make the experience fulfilling(充实的)．I remember visiting Mrs Robinson．She couldn’t recall much about her past，but she told me she’d never forget how kind I was just to listen to her．It made me realize that it’s the little things that make life worth living．
If there’s one thing I’ve realized in my three years of visiting Cantata，it’s that presence——just being there—means more than anything to many of them．And despite how busy our lives are，there’s always time to make someone’s day．
1.Why does the author go to Cantata Adult Life Services regularly?
