25．（6分）One afternoon，after finishing shopping in a supermarket，my family and I went to the check out．I suddenly thought we didn't need any of the junk，and we abandoned all of those，saving 300．
That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life．With a promise that we'd stop if it was killing us，I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality （节俭）The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30days except absolutely essentials．Our adventure began with a great start．By 9am．，my wife，Ruth，had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn't even know we had in the garden．I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years．I read and returned the neighbor's newspaper before he woke up．Total spending on the first day：$0．
As days turned into weeks，we became so proficient （熟练的）at living frugally．We started riding our bikes to save gas．My child's finger painting was recycled as gift wrap for the home﹣made presents．We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs．
In the end，we saved more than 2000 by not spending for a month．When we began，I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buy a lot of things in
the super﹣market，then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies．
25．We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon，the family A．had had higher income
B．had had a good habit of saving money
C．hadn't realized they would have met financial problems
D．had often spent money without thinking
26．The end of the story tells the readers that the family
A．couldn't stand the life of frugality
B．stopped halfway
C．would make up for missing the junk after the"30 days"
D．succeeded in saving in the end
27．This passage is mainly about
A．how a family managed their daily life
B．a family's no﹣buying try
C．how a new idea came up
D．a family's way of solving life problems．
28．（8分）Being less than perfectly well﹣dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of great discomfort that may well require treatment to eliminate （remove）．And the sad truth is that"clothing mismatches"on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire（着装）﹣﹣and the people with whom he or she comes in contact．
Offices vary when it comes to dress codes．Some businesses have very high standards for their employees and set strict guidelines for office attire，while others maintain a more relaxed attitude．However，it is always important to remember that no matter what your company's attitude is regarding what you wear，you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly．Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting，just as shorts and a T﹣shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment．Your attire
should reflect both your environment and your position．A senior vice president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary or sales assistant．Like it or not，you will be judged by your personal appearance．
This is never more apparent than on"dress﹣down days"，when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could．In fact，people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress﹣down days than on"business professional"days．Thus，when dressing in"business casual"clothes，try to put some good taste into your wardrobe choices，and recognize that the"real"definition of business casual is to dress just one notch（等级）down from what you would normally wear of business﹣professional attire days．
Remember，there are borders between your career and our social life．You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business．Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there．Is the final destination the opera，the beach，or the office？Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the man﹣﹣and the woman．Unless you are sure what to wear，it pays to dress slightly traditionally than the situation demands．
28．What is the passage mainly about？
A．The differences between professional and casual dress．
B．The relationship between career and social life．
C．How to dress properly in a business setting．
D．Dressing codes vary in different situations．
29．Which of the following statements is true？
A．Every company has strict rules regarding office dress．
B．You should dress according to the business setting even when there are no fixed rules
C．You can wear whatever you like if your company doesn't have high standards for it．D．In companies with relaxed rules on office dress，you can't spot a manager among
others．
30．Which statement best describes"dress down days"？
A．People are usually more careful about what they wear on dress﹣down days．B．People's clothes on dress﹣down days don't receive much attention
C．We can't judge a person's taste by his clothes on dress﹣down days
D．On dress﹣down days，you can wear whatever you like．
31．Which of the following is NOT the rule offered in the passage regarding business dress？
A．Remember to ask others for advice when you don't know what to dress．B．Dress a bit traditionally if you are not sure what to wear．
C．For a business meeting and a concert，you should dress differently．
D．Think about how other guests will wear if you are invited to a dinner．
32．（8分）As the labor market becomes more attractive，more companies are sending their employees to school．Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is the latest company to use tuition assistance for employees﹣﹣which for decades has been a part of many business'benefits packages﹣﹣as part of a renewed effort to bring in and cultivate talent．And while the impact of such programs has yet to be fully assessed，many see it as a positive﹣﹣although gradual﹣movement．
"For workers，it gives them a better opportunity for development，"says Colleen Flaherty Manchester，a professor．"For firms，they are able to recruit the type of employees who have value education and are less likely to turn over，and thus have a higher level of retention（保留）．"
In all，56percent of US organizations offer undergraduate educational assistance while 52percent offer graduate assistance．
Largely driving the trend are Millennials，who happen to be the fastest﹣growing people in the US workforce today and to whom the idea of tuition support from employers is especially appealing．Nearly 60percent of Millennials surveyed said they would choose a job with strong professional﹣development potential over one with regular pay raises．Employers are absolutely adapting to Millennials in the
workplace．They recognize that they need more experience，more knowledge，more mentoring to be successful．And they're asking for it．
Of more than 140，000Starbucks employees，only about 4，000have signed up for the company's College Achievement Plan．What the long﹣term effects such programs might have for companies'retention and turnover rates remain unclear．But，the pluses of these programs are more important than the minuses．We're going to see a lot more of this in the future．
32．Using tuition assistance for employees
A．has existed for scores of years
B．is a trend that formed recently
C．has attracted a large number of talents
D．is well received by employees
33．What can we learn from what Colleen Flaherty said？
A．It is merely beneficial to employees．
B．It turns out to be tough for firms to find suitable employees．
C．Valuing education has become a trend for all companies．
D．It is a win﹣win event for employees and employers．
34．What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 4refer to？
A．Educational support．
B．More chances to be successful．
C．Regular pay raises．
D．Professional﹣development potential．
35．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the programs？A．Employees will benefit more from the programs than companies．
B．The impact of the programs remains to be estimated．
C．The programs can guarantee the employees a good job．
D．It's less likely that employees will remain in the same company after receiving the programs．

I got to my father's house at 2：00 pm on the same day and looking at my angry father's face I felt （52）of myself at that moment．After I said hi to my father and uncle，my father asked me to sit next to him where he （53）me this watch as a gift from him．Then he said，"Essa，did you have （54）with yourfriends today？"I answered，"Yes，Father，and I'm sorry about not meeting my uncle Ali．"He said，"What you （55）was not very nice and you should be sorry for your （56）"I was guilty and said，"Father，I'll never do it again，I promise．"He said，"I hope today you learned something important，and this watch will be a （57）for you．"He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life．

In the end，we saved more than 2000 by not spending for a month．When we began，I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buy a lot of things in the super﹣market，then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies．
