1.Hi Geoff,
Don't be shocked about what I'm going to tell you.Last week,I became a parent!Calm down,Geoff.This was only a project we did at school,but let me explain.Every week,our teacher gives us a new topic to discuss in class.Last Monday,however,he asked us a very interesting question--"Do you think it is difficult to be a parent?"Some of the students said they thought it was easy,as parents never have to do any homework!Our teacher said he wouldn't tell us the answer.He said he would let us be a parent for a week.He was sure we would have the answer by the end of the week.
The rest of the lesson was spent making flour babies.We first took some bags and filled them with flour in order to make the babies as heavy as real ones.We then tied the bay very tight,so the flour would not fall out.After that,we used cardboard to make some arms,legs and a face for our flour babies,and then dressed them in old pieces of clothing.My baby looked so strange,as I am not very good at art,but it was great fun.
When we had finished,our teacher gave us all notebooks and told us we had to write down our experience with the babies for the whole week.We were told we had to carry them round with us every day,and look after them like real babies!That was really difficult.For example,one of my friends has quite a bad memory,and left his flour baby on the bus by accident.Another of my friends carried the baby upside down (we are supposed to carry them like real babies,with our arms under their?necks‘a(chǎn)t all times.)
We also had to take the flour babies home with us,as well.My parents found it quite funny,as I was supposed to feed the baby in the evening,and then get it ready for bed.After doing that and finishing my homework,there was no time to chat with my friends on the phone,nor watch my favorite television programmes.
Every evening,I was so tired that I fell asleep very quickly.Yet only a few hours later my alarm clock woke me up.For that week,I had to get up three times every night to feed the flour baby!In the end,I got so little sleep that I had black bags under my eyes.
It was a difficult time,but now the project is finished.I feel I have learnt that______.I think it also gave me a new perspective on what my parents have done for me.
Let me know your news and hope to hear from you soon.
All the best
Rick

88.Did Rick take part in a project of being a parent?Yes.
89.Why did the students make the babies by filling the bags with flour?In order to make them as heavy as real ones.
90.What did Rick think of the process of making the flour baby?He thought it was great fun.
91.What happened to the forgetful student‘s flour baby?It was left on the bus by accident.
92.How did Rick look after his flour baby like a real one at night?93.Complete the sentence inHe got up three times to feed it.
93.the last paragraph according to the contest.Writing.it is very difficult to be a responsible parent..

分析 Rick給 Geoff寫信告訴他最近體驗了一下做父母的感覺.他們老師給他們布置了一項任務(wù),讓他們做一周父母,想讓他們知道做父母到底難不難.經(jīng)過這次體驗,他們認(rèn)識到了,做一個負(fù)責(zé)任的父母真的很難.

解答 88.Yes. 根據(jù)"Last week,I became a parent!"可知,我參與了這項任務(wù),故為肯定回答,故答案為Yes.
89.In order to make them as heavy as real ones. 根據(jù)"We first took some bags and filled them with flour in order to make the babies as heavy as real ones"可知,我們往袋子里裝面粉是為了讓袋子跟孩子一樣重,故答案為In order to make them as heavy as real ones
90.He thought it was great fun. 根據(jù)"but it was great fun."可知,作者認(rèn)為過程很有趣,故答案為He thought it was great fun.
91.It was left on the bus by accident. 根據(jù)"one of my friends has quite a bad memory,and left his flour baby on the bus by accident."可知,健忘的朋友把孩子忘在了車上,故答案為It was left on the bus by accident
92.He got up three times to feed it. 根據(jù)"For that week,I had to get up three times every night to feed the flour baby!"可知,我必須夜里起來三次喂他,故答案為He got up three times to feed it.
93. it is very difficult to be a responsible parent. 根據(jù)"I think it also gave me a new perspective on what my parents have done for me."可知,我體會到了做父母很不容易,為我們付出了很多,故答案為it is very difficult to be a responsible parent.

點評 做這道題時要先通讀全文,弄清短文大意,然后根據(jù)相關(guān)句子寫出答案,最后仔細檢查.

9.Young people are perhaps better-known for spending money than saving it.But some new banking websites are seeking to change that.These websites offer young people the information and tools they need to watch over their money.The websites also let the users share their financial*experiences with other young people.
Nineteen-year-old Alix Scott has been working at a store this summer.She is saving money to pay for college next year."I have to save for all my college money because my parents can't offer me enough.So,I have to depend on my own savings,"She said.But instead of putting her money in a local bank,Ms Scott began using SmartyPig,a web-based banking service.She said,"When I do that,I stop the drive to just spend the money."
Michael Ferrari developed SmartyPig with a friend in 2007.SmartyPig is really all about helping people save for very specific financial goals.So that could be a wedding,a vacation,an I-phone.Mr.Ferrari says SmartyPig opened after he started a college savings account*for his new baby.He says that experience helped him realize the power of saving for a specific goal.Helping other savers pay attention to their goals is the idea behind his online company.
Michael Ferrari said,"For example,I'm saving up for a vacation.I want to save 5,000 dollars.I want to meet this goal in three years.SmartyPig will in fact help you know how much money you need to save every month.You don't have to move from your present bank.We'll actually go in and get those money on the day you refer to every month and we'll put them into your SmartyPig account,where they'll actually increase interest*,as well."
Twenty-two-year-old Khang Nguyen is studying engineering in college.He likes being able to share his saving goals with his online community.He said,"I think it's actually a good thing that they are able to see it.Like,a group of my friends after they found out,you know,about what I do,they always come ask me for financial advice."
