Saving money gives you freedom. If you have enough savings you may be able to give up your job. I know a couple (夫妻) who saved up   1  money that they were able to leave their   2  for a year, and travel across the country. You could see the wonderful experiences they had   3 they were able to enjoy that time together.
Saving money is improving your   4  life. It is important to realize that   5  saving money now you will be able to do so many more things in your later years. You can retire early and spend time   6  around the world. By saving money now, you will be able to do as   7  things as you like and enjoy a good life.
Saving money will bring you peace of mind. Every dollar that you have in the bank is a dollar, which stands between you and disaster. People who have savings are not   8  when a car breaks down, or someone becomes sick. They know that they will be okay if they lose a job, and it takes time to find a new   9 .
Saving money sets an example for your children. By teaching your children to save money and plan for the future, you are in control of where you spend your money, and what you do   10  it. It may be one of the most important ideas that you teach your children.

For many years , Hawaii has been a magic name to people who like to travel. People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these beautiful islands in the middle of ocean. Their dreams always include at least on scene of a sunset over the ocean. In the tropical （熱帶的）lands, the sun drops like a ball of golden fire into the sea. And it drops so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow that lights the skies in the quiet water.
People often have a quiet, peaceful time—perfect for a leisurely walk along the water. This scene is not too different from the dramatic beauty that greeted the first strangers to these islands centuries ago. They were Polynesia people who came from Tahiti in canoes that much bigger than small boats.
They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees, but there were no grand hotels like the ones we see nowadays. The first people came to Hawaii nearly two thousand years ago, but skyscraper hotels were only built in the last 30 years. Now jet airplanes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo or San Francisco or Los Angeles.
Wherever people come from, they really want to see the original（原始的，最初的） beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountains called Diamond Head which is almost hidden by the tall hotels.

A．given by people who like to travel

A．The scenery nowadays is different from the original beauty

Dear Alice，
You really have two different questions here，so we’ll discuss them one at a time．
Your problems at school may be a result of a number of things．You don’t say much about how these classmates get along with each other．It’s possible that all the students are feeling a little cautious(謹慎的) in the first term．
It’s also possible that the others are unkind．If this is so，you have to find out why you are the class “outsider．”
In your letter you say you often offer to help others with their work．Is it possible that your classmates don’t understand your offers? Could it seem that you were trying to“buy”friends with these offers?
Is it possible that you took no notice of your classmates when you had your good friend near you? They may have felt hurt at that time．It may take a time for them to believe in you if so．Try to ask one classmate directly what the problem is．If you hear a negative(負面的)answer，at least you’ll know what to do．
Yours truly，
Shelia

Life is like the four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life. I was born, I played a lot, and then I started school. I learned many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day. There were happy days and sorrowful days: some days the sun shone, and some days it didn’t.
In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married (結(jié)婚) and had a child. In those days, I didn’t have much time to think. Every day I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hairs. The summer of my life passed quickly.

My now 7-year-old grandson, who lives 100 miles away, has kept my phone number in his mind since he was 4. Since then, he has been  1  me every night before he goes to bed to tell me about his day or just to say “Good night, Grandma.”

Many times I just listen to him play, or play games we’ve made up together that we can play over the   6  .

My friends all know that he is the most important for me.  10  I’m in church(教堂), or some place where I really can’t take his call, I always politely excuse myself and talk to him, even if it’s just for a minute to tell him I’ll call him back in a few minutes.

“Here is the last meal I give you. Come and get it by yourself.” his mother said. Then she flew down and pushed the baby out of the nest.
