A
As we know, there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture．We can see differences when we pay attention to the way some words are used．Let's look at the words about animals and ants．
Although dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans，most expressions in Chinese about the dog，for example，“a homeless dog”，“a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”．have negative meanings．But in Western countries，people use “dog” to describe positive actions．In English，for example，“You are a lucky dog” means “You are a lucky person”． And “Every dog has its day”means“Each person has good luck sometimes”．However．Chinese love cats very much．But in Western culture．“cat”is often used to describe a woman who is cruel（冷的）．There are many other examples of how“cat”is used differently as well．
The rose is regarded（視為）as a symbol（象征）of love in both China and some Western countries．People think the rose stands for（代表）love，peace，courage and friendship．And the rose is the national flower of England，America and many other countries．
The words about animals and plants are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures．We can learn about many differences in different cultures by comparing how some words are used

Years ago，I lived in a building in a large city．The building next door was only a few feet away from mine．There was a woman who lived there and whom I had never met，yet I could see her sitting by her window each afternoon，sewing（縫紉）and reading．
After several months had gone by，I began to notice that her window was dirty．Everything was unclear through the dirty window．I would say to myself，“Why doesn’t that woman clean．her window? It really looks terrible．”
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat，including cleaning the window．
Late in the afternoon after I finished the cleaning，I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest．What a surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly seen．Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me．I had been criticizing（批評）her dirty window，but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window．
That was quite an important lesson for me．How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart，through my own shortcomings（缺點）?
From then on，whenever I want to judge someone，I ask myself first，“Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?”Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I can see others’ world more clearly．

Building strong bones needs calcium（鈣）vitamin D and exercise starting in childhood． Here are guidelines on how much calcium and vitamins youngsters need:
38．Young children should have about 800 milligrams a day．But between ages 9 and 18, when bone growth speeds up, that should almost double． That's about three cups of milk together with calcium-rich foods, such as broccoli and cheese．
Children find teenagers need at least 200 international units of vitamin D． Milk and orange juice are often fortified（強化） with this vitamin; a few other, foods contain it． Sunlight is a major source． 39．About 10 to 15 minutes of sunshine weekly is enough for many children． The goal is to get just enough sun for vitamin D production, while avoiding too much of its skin-damaging rays．
Children of all ages need about an hour of physical activity most days．Weight--bearing（承載）exercises strengthen bone, anything from team sports like soccer to simply jumping ropes or running around． 40． The use is for tile arms or lees to bear all the body's weight．

Passage 5
閱讀短文，回答問題。
Everyone is talking about how much money they got in their red envelopes（紅包）． But an even more important question than "How much did you get?" is "What are you going to do with it?" Well, one thing you could do is to put it in the bank--it's easier than you think．
In fact, some students in Hubei Province began using the Xiaogui Dangjia bank card this year． It's a bank card for kids, and it's given out by Minsheng Bank's Wuhan branch（支行）．
"Now all my pocket money has a place to go," said Song Wei, who is a Junior l at the Wuluolu Middle School in Wuhan．"1 can't wait to use the card to pay my own school fees（費用）．"
Wang Hong, a manager at Minsheng Bank, said, "We have talked to lots of students and have found they don't think much about what money is, where it comes from or how to use it carefully． They just spend all their money on whatever they want and then ask their parents for more," Wang Said．
School kids today are getting more money． At one school in Shanghai． 205 students got about 500,000 yuan in their red envelopes in total this year． But parents worry that the kids don't know how to take care of the money by themselves．
Zhang Shan's mother likes the card． Zhang, a Junior 2 in Wuhan, bas been asking for a computer for a long time, but his mother hasn't bought him one． "We want him to use this card to save money for the computer step by step," she said． "If we buy everything be asks for, he would think that money comes too easily, and he won't work hard for it．"
Experts say that understanding personal finances（經(jīng)濟狀況） is important and should be taught early． "Those who start saving early will continue the habit when they grow up," said Wang Min, a financial expert in Wuhan, "It's better to teach kids how to fish rather than just feeding them fish．"
86．What does the passage mainly talk about?
87．How does Song Wei want to use the money from his red envelope?
88．Why do Zhang Shan's parents want him to save money for the computer step by step?'
89．What is the average（平均） amount of money the 205 students at the Shanghai school received in their red envelopes this year?
90．According to the passage, what do parents think of the students' putting money in the bank?
