On Saturday Patrick woke up with a little shock， knowing that this was a special day. For a moment he couldn’t think exactly why， and then， with an excited flutter of his stomach， he remembered. At ten o’clock today he was going to find out the final result of the programme called Super Brain. He got dressed more carefully than usual， went downstairs and turned on the TV. Quickly he switched channels. Cartoons， cartoons， advertisements， man talking， snow， snow… and still nothing at all on Channel 8.

“Patrick， turn it off， darling， if you’re going to watch.” Judith walked past with the newspaper under her arm and her eyes half closed. She headed for the kitchen. Patrick turned off the TV and followed.

“What’s for breakfast， Mum?”

“We will see，” Judith said in a low voice， turning on the electric kettle (水壺). She looked sleepily at him and smiled. “You look nice， darling，” She said. “You’re all ready. But we can’t go till eight-thirty at the earliest， you know. Nothing will be open till then.”

Patrick’s stomach seemed to feel a little sick. “We aren’t going out， are we?” He asked. Judith began to make the tea. “Don’t say you’ve forgotten!” she said， “I promised you， last Saturday. Your new trainers， remember?”

“Oh—oh， but I can’t go out this morning， Mum. There’s something I’ve got to watch on TV. At ten o’clock. I’ve got to! My trainers will be all right for another week.” Patrick said with excitement， looking quite worried.

Judith faced him， hands on hips， “Patrick，” she said with great dislike， “it’s all organized.”

In today’s society, everyone seems very busy every day. We feel our time is valuable and needs to be used well. We need cheap meal ideas that can help us save time and money and still offer a healthy dinner to us and our family.

The fast food makers know we have little time and don’t pay attention to what we eat after a long day at work. So they often offer us cheap food that requires(需要) no cooking or cleaning, and only a short time to pick up.

But eating so much fast food will cause body fatness and fast food is not nutritious(有營(yíng)養(yǎng)的), so it’s not the best choice. There are some very cheap meal ideas that take almost no time to prepare and will make coming home for a good meal more enjoyable.

The first cheap meal idea is one dish including meat, rice, and also some cabbages, carrots or tomatoes. This is not only a cheap meal idea, but also it is fast because it can be made in only 20 minutes.

You can quickly make some pancakes and scrambled eggs for the family in about half an hour. If you think it is strange to eat breakfast food for dinner, consider how the same foods give you what you need to go through a whole day.

Another cheap meal idea to try is a “macaroni(通心粉) and cheese with meat” dish, which is the fastest, only takes around 15 minutes to cook.

If you are interested in these cheap meal ideas, you’re welcome to visit our website for details. When you fix one of these or other cheap meal ideas at home, you are taking time out of your busy day to treat yourself and your family in a special way.

Women make up 50 percent of world’s population and yet they are not treated equally. They hold less than one-fifth of the all parliamentary (議會(huì)) seats around the world， occupy less than 19 percent of board (董事會(huì)) seats in Fortune 500 companies and earn 17 percent less than men for similar skills and positions. As a group， they are passed over and looked down on.

On March 8 every year， millions of women around the world celebrate International Women’s Day. It is possible that you may not have heard about the International Women’s Day in the United States. Yet Women's Day had its origin in the United States.

Women’s Day was first celebrated in February 1909 in the US to mark the one-year anniversary of the New York Garment Worker’s Strike of 1908. Women used the chance to fight against warring and fight for women’s vote rights.

Did you know that it was a Women’s Day protest in St. Petersburg in 1917， which led to the revolution (革命) for bringing down the Russian empire? After the Russian revolution， Women’s Day came to be celebrated as a communist (共產(chǎn)主義的) or socialist (社會(huì)主義的) holiday. As a result， the United States government didn’t accept it as a holiday.

Today Women’s Day is celebrated in places such as China and Russia as a sort of state-approved Valentine's Day or Mother's Day. The tradition in these countries is to give flowers and gifts to the important women in one's life.

In 1975， the United Nations officially announced March 8 as International Women’s Day. Since then， it has been a practice to suggest an annual theme for each year. The theme for 2016 is "Pledge For Parity." It calls on women and men to challenge the present state and inspire positive change in their communities and workplaces.

There is a lot that needs to be done. As a society， we need to offer women and girls chances to make their dreams come true， have equal chances for leadership， respect and value differences， and develop a better work environment. This day challenges and reminds that everyone can be a leader in their own small way and can take positive steps to bring about gender equality.

Our world can truly be balanced when we use the potential that women have to offer. As we prepare children for the future， it is important that girls and women not be left behind.

Women make up 1. of the world’s population.

閱讀下面短文，簡(jiǎn)要回答所給問題。

These days when you go on vacation， you spend most of your money just getting there. Travel is expensive， but don't stay at home only because you are short of money! Here is some advice:

*Travel during off-season if possible. Flights and hotels are very cheaper when tourism is low.

*Choose a hotel that's a little farther from popular attractions. If you're staying several days， check out prices on vacation homes — it can end up being cheaper than a hotel.

*Take public traffic， such as buses or subway， instead of taking a taxi.

*Plan your meals， and eat like locals. Don't waste money at expensive hotel restaurants or fast-food chains. Depending on where you stay， it may be cheaper to make food on your own.

*Check online for special discount(折扣) —if you're a student， the old or the parents traveling with children， you could get discounts! A little research could save you a lot of money.

Whether you're backpacking alone or going on a family vacation， your trip doesn't have to break the bank. The key is to plan ahead and write down what you spend. Then put the money you save toward your next trip!

1.Is travel expensive now?

2.How many suggestions are given to save money?

3.Which is cheaper， staying at a hotel or a vacation home?

4.Who could get discounts?

5.What is the passage mainly about?
