• 13．My sister and I were flying by ourselves from our home in Kansas to a summer camp in Minnesota.Our plane had a two-hour stop at the airport in Omaha，Nebraska.A flight attendant took us to a souvenir shop，where a toy airplane looked just like the plane my sister and I were flying on.I really wanted that airplane.I had ﹩10 and the plane cost﹩8.I had no idea what I needed to buy at camp，but I bought the plane anyway.When we reached the camp，I discovered that there were no showers!Instead，we bathed in a lake every night.I needed to buy special soap because the regular soap I brought had chemicals that could harm the fish.The special soap cost ﹩4 at the camp store.However，I had only﹩2 left.
     What upset me was that I couldn't get clean without the soap，which was soon found by my teacher，Sally.I had to tell her that I had spent most of my money on a toy airplane.She laughed and explained to me that a budget was necessary and it was a plan for spending money to help make sure you set aside enough for things you need，like soap，before you buy fun things，like toys.
     Sally gave me one of her extra（额外的）bottles of special soap.When I returned home，I decided to budget.I spent several weeks writing down everything I bought，just to get an idea of how I was already spending my money.Then I made my first weekly budget.My budget wasn't always the same each week.For some weeks，I would have more in my "Money In" account because I did some jobs around the house.Once summer vacation started，I didn't need to buy school lunches，so I had extra money to go to the neighborhood swimming pool or to give to the town animal shelter.
     Budgeting was hard，sometimes.Whatever week it was，I always made sure that "Money In" equaled "Save and Spend. " That's called making ends meet，and it's how you make sure that the money you have will always be enough to cover your plans to spend and save.
  
  （1）Why did Sally give the writer one bottle of her special soap？

  
  A．The writer's usual soap did harm to his skin.
  B．The writer needed to take showers at the camp.
  C．The writer turned to Sally for it to get clean.
  D．The writer's money couldn't cover the special soap.
  （2）What did the writer learn about at the camp？

Ⅱ. 阅读填句根据短文内容， 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

• 14．Rich and Famous Twenty years ago the most common ambition of American children was to be a teacher，followed by working in banking and finance，and then medicine.But today's situation is quite different.（1）

  Instead they most commonly say they want to be a sports star，a pop star，or an actor —in other words，they hope to become a celebrity.
     According to experts，young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame.（2）

  Let's take athletes and singers as an example.Their careers are short-lived.Many athletes，best time only lasts a few years and singers can have a very limited career.The field that was once the focus of their lives becomes something they have little or no involvement in.As a result，they'll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack of control.（3）

  The truth is quite simple：they have been so far removed from it for so long.
     In spite of these disadvantages，there is greater ambition than ever among young people to achieve that status.They are not satisfied just making a living— they want to be rich and famous.Globally，more and more TV shows provide talent competitions where winners can achieve their goals in just a few weeks or months.（4）

  They unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.
     While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions，others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals.（5）

  That means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success.As a result，many people won't realize their childhood dreams，which could have a negative effect on their happiness.
  
  A.The younger generation don't favor these professions any more.
  B.In many ways this has been brought about by the celebrity culture.
  C.Unfortunately，they do not always have a positive effect on people's life.
  D.Besides，it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life.
  E.People no longer have a sense of satisfaction once their goals have been achieved.
  F.This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people.
  G.The reason is that they don't realize it takes talent and hard work to be rich and famous.
