This year I’m buying presents for 16 children, as well as my own daughter, Mia-Grace, who will be two on Christmas Day. My tree will be beautifully decorated, I’m bringing the turkey to the family Christmas lunch and having an open house activity on Boxing Day. And the whole thing’s only going to cost me £150.
I’ve been careful with money since I was a teenager, for I came from a poor family with many children. I had to drop out of high school to earn money to support myself. I remember well that I went a bit mad back then when I got my first credit card and my parents had to leave me from home and cared little for me from then, which taught me a real lesson.
We’re very careful now and we don’t overspend or owe anything on credit cards. I work for an electrician and my husband Neil, 33, works in the construction business. We’re concerned about our jobs because our companies are quiet at the moment.
We’ve also been hit by rising prices, particularly food, petrol, gas and electricity. Everyone I know is worried. One of my friends’ husbands has just gone self-employed and if he doesn’t work, they have no money coming in.
Christmas has been playing on my mind for the past three or four months. We decided on a budget of £150 because that’s just under my weekly wage and it meant we could afford Christmas while using Neil’s salary for our essential bills.
We quickly realized that we buy some things every year just for the sake of it. Even though we have lots of decorations already, we usually buy something new for the tree but this Christmas we’re not going to. We’ve already got our tree – a big man-made one which I bought half-price in the January sales. It will last us for years.
After all, no one can escape from this financial crisis which is spreading throughout the globe.
1.We can infer that Boxing Day most probably falls on ______.
A. January 20 B. May 5
C. October 24 D. December 26
2.Which of the following is TRUE about the author according to this passage?
A. She has bought Christmas presents for 16 children in total.
B. She has bought a man-made Christmas tree at a low price.
C. Both the author and her husband are already out of work now.
D. She would like to buy a new Christmas tree for this Christmas.
3.The second and third paragraphs mainly tell us ______ .
A. why the author has been very careful with money
B. how she finished her education of high school
C. where she earned her first money in her teens
D. when she left home and got married to her husband
4.We can conclude from this passage ______.
A. the author often quarrels with her husband about their little earnings
B. nobody but the author was worried about the rising prices
C. the author has never been worried about losing jobs
D. the author and those around her are suffering from the financial crisis

Over the holidays, I took my three young children into a fancy chocolate shop to buy gifts. Halfway home, I noticed my 7-year-old son playing with a plastic noisemaker. Long story short: He had stolen the toy. I kept my cool -- even when he said, "but it was only $1.50, Mom!" --and explained why it was unacceptable to take things we didn't buy.
A few hours later, I marched my son back to the store with two dollars from his piggy bank. He walked embarrassedly to the counter and told the clerk that he had taken something without paying for it, that he was sorry to break it and that he would pay for it now.
I know exactly how terrible he was feeling. Returning to the scene of the crime is the same shame-causing punishment I received when I was five and stole something from a store. 1 remember my dad sending me back to return the item. It remains one of my clearest child－ hood memories. After that day, I never stole again. My dad taught me such an important lesson 30 years ago and I saw an opportunity to do the same for my son. But now I wonder if it was the fight thing to do.
"Returning to the store is absolutely the right thing to do," Laura Markham, Ph.D., a child psychologist and author of Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids, says. "Many children steal -- they' re not born knowing the rules so it' s our job to teach them."
And stay calm when you set them. "If you overreact or yell, you might create a fascination with the behavior and a willful child will be more likely to fight against you," she says. Having a child physically return the stolen item helps him or her grasp the situation -- and the consequence.
But don't talk about it for too long. "lf you continuously bring up the incident, the child will believe they' re a thief and that they' re bad," she says.
Only time will tell if this experience will have the same powerful effect on my son as it had on me, but at the same time I can rest if I haven' t dealt with the situation badly.
1.When the author' s son was caught playing with a stolen toy, he________.
A. responded calmly
B. felt very ashamed
C. didn't think it was a big deal
D. didn't admit stealing the toy
2.The author punished her son like that because __________.
A. her father asked her to do so
B. it had been popular for 30 years
C. she knew it was the right thing to do
D. the same punishment had worked on her
3.According to Laura Markham, if parents shout at their kids' stealing behavior, the kids may _______.
A. feel frightened
B. steal again
C. think they are bad
D. remember what happened clearly
4.What does the author think of Laura Markham' s words?
A. They are doubtful.
B. They are unacceptable.
C. They help her to stop feeling worried.
D. They have taught her a good lesson.
