It's only $ 79. 99!How many times have you heard those words on TV or read them in a newspaper ad? The word “only” is supposed to make you think that this is a great price for the product.

   But think about this. How long does it take you to earn $79. 99? What do you have to do to get that money? The little thing that's only $ 79. 99 is worth (值) almost 12 hours of your work!And if you are making less than this,how long will it take to earn that much money?

   So as you stand in a shop,telling yourself that you have to buy something,think about how long you must work to earn the money to pay for it. Is that $ 85 T-shirt really worth the time to earn $ 85? You could probably find a similar (相似的) shirt at another shop for under $ 35,right?

   Even if your parents are still buying you clothes,someone has to work for the money. If you spend money on one thing,you don't have money to spend on anything else. So if you spend $85 on those jeans,you cannot put it in the bank,and you cannot go snowboarding or to the movies with friends because you don't have the money to go.

  Some parents are used to doing almost everything for their children. They see their older children as babies!It can be a very common problem in China,because most parents only have one child in China. Some parents care so much about the safety of their children that they are afraid to let them go anywhere or do anything by themselves. So their children fail to learn social skills and become more dependent on (依賴于) them!

   In fact,no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time. No parents would be happy knowing that. Because of too much care,their children don't know anything about the world. Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems. Too much care damages (損 害) their fun when they are growing up. And when suddenly they can't depend on their parents,these children will be in big trouble!

   It is nice that parents show their care to their children. It is nice that children know that their parents’ care is out of love. And it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need and how much love is too much.

  The aim of students who come to school is to study. But study requires (需要) a right way,or you waste either the time or the money. The following are the ways of studying.

   The best time for reading is morning,because in the morning,the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason,we can get good results.

   In studying we must have patience. If we have not known a text well,we must read it again. We should not read the next one till we have learned the first one.

   When we are studying,we must put our hearts into the book,or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading.

   We must always ask “why”. If it is not well understood,write it down and ask our teachers or our parents,or friends. In any possible way,we must know it completely and what weVe learned can be used well and made better.

   Though there are many ways for studying,yet the above mentioned (提到的) will be quite enough if we can keep them in heart and do so.(江蘇南通)

  If you can speak English,you know a lot of English words. You can read,speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you need to know—the language of the body.

   All over the world,people “talk” with their hands,with their heads and with their eyes. When Japanese people meet,they bow (鞠躬;彎腰) . When Indians meet,they put their hands together. What do American and British people do?

   Americans are more informal (不拘禮節(jié)的) than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names;they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down,they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable.

   British people are more reserved (矜持的,緘默的) . They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask you something of your home.

   When British and American people meet someone for the first time,they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends,and men kiss women friends. When a man meets a man friend,he just smiles,and says “Hello”. Men do not kiss each other,or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.

  The bank of England is making plans to introduce plastic banknotes to the UK.

   Paper notes,meaning pieces of paper money,have been used in England for more than 300 years,but replacing them with plastic ones could be better.

   Plastic notes were first introduced to Australia back in 1988. Since then other countries,including Romania,Vietnam,Mexico and Malaysia,have also begun using money made in this way.

   Fans of water sports,such as surfing,find this type of money more useful and easier,as they can take it with them in the water and won't worry that it will fall apart. It is also good for people who by mistake put clothes in the washing machine with a note in the pocket!

   It is more hygienic (clean and free of bacteria) than paper money as it absorbs less bacteriaCthe simplest and smallest form of plants,some of which cause disease) . And it is stronger. This means it lasts longer. According to a survey,a usual 5 note in the UK lasts around six months,while the $ 5 Australian bill lasts for an average of 40 months.

   A downside of plastic cash is that it costs more money to produce. Cash and money-counting machines will also have to be adapted to accept the new money.

   It is expected that the Bank of England,who hopes to start printing plastic notes from 2015,will introduce the money slowly,using the most common notes first.(江蘇省連云港市 2013 年中考)

() 10. Which country was the first to use plastic notes?

   A. The UK. B. Romania. C. Vietnam. D. Australia.

() 11. You can put the sentence “Besides being waterproof,there are other good effects of using plastic notes instead of paper ones. ” at the beginning of .

() 12. What can you infer (推斷) from Paragraph 6 ?

   A. Plastic notes should be printed in cash machines.

   B. There are some disadvantages of using plastic notes.

   C. Every country will have to accept the new money.

   D. Plastic notes should be produced by the cashiers.

() 13. Which is NOT the reason why the UK wants to use plastic notes instead of paper ones?
