(2017﹒北京)Buying Is Doing?
How important is shopping to you? How much time do you spend buying things? And how much time do you spend organizing these things in your home? In the future, how much time will you spend in movie theaters, at amusement parks, at shopping malls, or at convenience stores? When you add it all up, you will probably see you spend a lot of your life consuming(消费)things. Consuming products is not necessarily bad. However, if we spend too much time doing it, we should look at it carefully.
Imagine that you have a week off from school. You don’t have to go to class. However, in this week, you cannot spend any money — no shopping, no movies, no eating out. How would you spend your time?
What things would bring you happiness? Perhaps you would take a walk with your best friend. Perhaps you would help a child read. Or you might spend time with your family.
When we look back, it is likely that non-consuming experiences like these will be our most important memories. Why? Non-consuming activities are active, not passive. They don’t come in a package. You make the experience yourself. For example, each person who reads to a child will have a different experience. The experience changes with the reader, the child, and the book. Similarly, when you have a conversation with a friend, you are actively creating an experience. The conversation that you have with your friend cannot be experienced or recreated by anyone else. However, if you watch a movie with a friend, you will each have a package experience. It requires no action and little interaction between the two of you.
The environment we live in encourages us to have packaged experiences. We feel that we must consume because we believe that buying is doing. However, we can start a personal revolution(变革) against consumerism. How? By consuming less, we can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction. Then we can organize our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.
1.If consuming products takes too much time, we should ____________.
A. spend less money B. think about it carefully
C. organize our things D. go to convenience stores
2.According to the passage, the writer believes that _____________.
A. we can say no to consumerism by consuming less
B. buying things can bring us the greatest satisfaction
C. the environment seldom influences our shopping choices
D. consuming experiences will be our most important memories
3.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce some ways of enjoying our spare time.
B. To encourage people to have more active experiences.
C. To explain reasons behind people’s shopping behavior.
D. To share his personal experience in consuming products.

When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct when we ask for help.
In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip.’’, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?’’, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions with your classmates.
It is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.
根据短文内容判断下列句子意思与原文是否相符,相符的写T,不相符的写F。
1.It’s important to be polite in a foreign country.
2.We needn’t learn how to be polite when we ask for help.
3.It’s polite to change the way we speak when we talk with different people.
4.“Excuse me, Mr….Do you know …?” sounds more impolite than “Do you know …?”.
5.Using proper language will help us become better at the language we wish to speak.

When you visit a foreign country,66.it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, you may ask " Where are the restrooms?" or67."请你告诉我洗手间在哪,好吗?". These are similar requests for directions. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite 68.当我们请求帮助时。
69.Usually polite questions are longer. They include expressions such as " Could you please?" or " May I ask ?" It sounds more polite to say, " Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?" than " Peter, tell me your e-mail address." Sometimes we even need to spend time leading into a request. For example, we might first say to a stranger, " Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me" or " I'm sorry to trouble you, but…" before asking for help.
It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations. 70.This will help you communicate better with other people.

Let’s start fresh and go on with our plan tomorrow.” __4.______ Let your parents know you love and care about them for what they’re doing and that it means a lot to you.
