         It's enough to give anyone an earache. Women spend an average of about five years on the phone during
    their working lives, research has shown.
         You won't be surprised to learn that women spend 18 months longer than men on the phone-who only
    chat for an average of three years.
         Both sexes make and receive almost the same number of calls - 277,000 for men and 288,000 for women.
    But women spend 13,500 more hours in total on their conversations.
         More than half of those chats are work-related but people spend on average twice as long on a personal
    call (10 minutes ) as on a business one.
         Despite the explosion in mobile phone ownership, most people still prefer to use landlines, the poll (民意调查) found.
         However, when people are tired of talking, the top excuse for getting a caller off the line is to say
    "Someone's at the door." Other favourites include "I'm cooking" and "I need to go to the toilet".
         Eight out of ten phone users admitted not answering their phones on purpose if they did not want to speak
    to the caller.
         One in three people thought calls after 10 pm were unacceptable but a quarter of those polled said they did
    not mind calls up to midnight. 
         Two-thirds admitted they had people in their address books who they should ring but never got round to
    doing so.
         Joseph Blass, managing director of telecom company Toucan, said, "As a nation, we love to chat on the
    phone but it is quite astonishing when we look at the total number of calls we make in a lifetime."
    1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A. Women spend about five years talking on the phone during their lifetime.
    B. Women make and receive the same number of calls as men do.
    C. On average, work-related calls are only half as long as personal calls.
    D. Usually a call made by a man is longer than one by a woman.
    2. According to the poll, when someone on the phone says "Sorry, someone's at the door", he or
        she probably means ________.
     A. he/she is going to the toilet
    B. he/she wants to stop chatting
    C. he/she is too tired to talk any longer
    D. he/she must go to open the door for someone
    3. From the text, we know that _________.
    A. calls around midnight are acceptable to some people
    B. 80% of people always refuse to answer a phone call
    C. people never ring the people in their address books
    D. Joseph Blass was one of the people who were polled
    4. What Joseph Blass says in the last paragraph shows that _______.
    A. it's no wonder that we all love to chat on the phone
    B. people in many countries love to chat on the phone
    C. people insist on often phoning their family and friends
    D. the amount of time people spend on the phone was unexpected

    In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider-story” is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning（结网） a web. The spider tried to reach across a place in the rock. He tried six times. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart （鼓起勇气） and to have gone on to defeat the English… Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked why he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often. He replied, “Failure? I have no failures. Now I know 50, 000 ways that won’t work.”

           So that? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you well prepared yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?

           Second, is the goal you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goal may be. Think about this question, “If I do succeed in this, what can I get from it?” This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.

           The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it’s part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t win them all.”

    Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance．The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly．

        The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family．Timing is another consideration．Some children get a weekly allowance．Others get a monthly allowance．

        In any case，parents should make clear what，if anything，the child is expected to pay for with the money．

        At first，young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it．If they do this，they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget．Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance．

        The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending saving．Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs，like clothing or electronics．

        Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home．These jobs are a normal part of family life．

        Paying children to do extra work around the house，however, can be useful．It can even provide an understanding of how a business works．

        Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money．They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to a good cause．They can spend it by buying things they want．Or they can save it．

    1．What is special about children learning financial management by experience?

    A．They learn more quickly．   

    B．They are not as likely to make mistakes． 

    C．Their mistakes won’t matter so much．

    D．They have plans made by their parents．

    2．When the writer says some young children“will learn the hard way that…”，he means____________. 

    A．they will know a budget is hard to carry out 

    B．they will have a hard time learning the lesson 

    C．what they will learn is absolutely true 

    D．their parents will teach them a hard lesson

    3．Judging from the article．it is all right if a couple gives their son an allowance________. 

    A．regularly twice every month 

    B．whenever he has run out of money 

    C．telling him to ask for permission before spending 

    D．without telling him what to spend on

    4．The writer would agree to encourage the kids to ____________to deal with a tight budget．  

    A．borrow money from others    B．ask their parents for more money  

    C．get paid for their household routines D．earn money by extra work

    5．When a kid donates some of his allowance to wild animal protection，he is_____．

    A．sharing it with others         B．giving it to a good cause

    C．buying things for himself      D．saving for his future spending
