Use your parking space An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark. Rent a room Spare room? Not only will a lodger earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy. Make money during special events Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space. Live on set Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free — but you will be charged if your home gets picked. Use your roof You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment (around £14,000) and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof. 【1】Where can you put an advertisement to rent out a room during a big event? A.On Letpark. B.On Roomspare. C.On Grashpadder. D.On Roommateeasy. 【2】If you want to use energy free, you have to . A.sign an agreement with the government B.pay around £14,000 for the equipment C.sell the roof to some energy companies D.keep the roof unchanged within 25 years 【3】For whom is the text most probably written? A.Lodgers. B.Advertisers. C.House owners. D.Online companies. |

When milk arrived on the doorstep When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer. Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear. All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery. There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service. Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch （门廊）. Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk. 【1】Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer____. A. to show his magical power. B. to pay for the delivery C. to satisfy his curiosity. D. to please his mother. 【2】What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house? A. He wanted to have tea there. B. He was a respectable person. C. He was treated as a family member. D. He was fully trusted by the family. 【3】Why does home milk delivery no longer exist? A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now. B. It has been driven out of the market. C. Its service is getting poor. D. It is forbidden by law. 【4】Why did the author bring back home an old milk box? A. He missed the good old days. B. He wanted to tell interesting stories. C. He missed it for his milk bottles. D. He planted flowers in it. |

The day Madelyn McClarey’s twin sons, Aaron and Aubrey Hough, each received scholarships(奖学金)to Florida A&M University, she figured that after they moved seven hours north from Hollywood to Tallahassee, she’d be lucky to see them on weekends. But her sons had something else in mind. The twins told her they’d move to Tallahassee on one condition. She had to go with them—and work toward the college degree she’d always wanted. And that is how McClarey ended up in a green cap and gown this month at FAMU. Cheering her on were her twins. “Our mom is so determined and dedicated, we’re lucky to have her as our mother,” said Aaron. “It was a lot of hard work, but she never gave up.” McClarey’s sons jumped as she was awarded a bachelor’s degree (学士学位)in English with a minor in education, excited that their mom finally had the degree she’d dreamed about for more than twenty years. Her professional goals were put on hold when she became a single mom looking after two kids. Before motherhood, before divorce, McClarey had gone to business school. McClarey, who described herself as “40ish,” said that when her sons insisted she go with them to college four years ago, her jaw dropped, having known most teens are eager to start lives away from their parents once they graduate from high school. She said, “But I was also delighted when I realized they weren’t joking and weren’t going to leave home unless I moved with them, so I said, ‘Well, all right—let’s go, then.’” Now that McClarey has graduated, she doesn’t plan to leave Tallahassee anytime soon. She wants to stick around to encourage and support her sons, but there is also another matter to deal with. “My goal is to become an author someday,” she said. “So this summer, I’ll be working on getting my master’s degree.” 【1】After being admitted to university, the twin sons wanted their mom to . A.move to Tallahassee B.see them on weekends C.live with them in college D.continue her college education 【2】What does the underlined phrase “put on hold” in Paragraph 3 mean? A.To be done later. B.To be improved. C.To be taken off. D.To be set up. 【3】How did McClarey feel when hearing her sons’ suggestion four years ago? A.Surprised. B.Delighted. C.Disappointed. D.Anxious. 【4】What would McClarey do after graduation? A.Find a job as a writer. B.Realize her dream. C.Deal with important matters. D.Move back to Hollywood. |

In early twentieth-century France, a new form of entertainment was becoming a hit— motion picture. People crowded into theatres for short, silent, black-and-white films that showed everyday happenings, such as a train pulling into a station. These pictures were dimly projected onto white sheets. Usually, there was no sound. Sometimes, men at pianos played music to match the scenes. Moving images in theatres are no longer new, but back at the beginning of the art form, surprises lurked around every corner. During the first showings of basic silent movies, some people in the audience screamed in fear, reacting to what they saw as if it were happening in real life. Moviegoers were known to leap out of the way of trains on the screen. At that time, few people understood what motion pictures were, so audience members could easily be fooled. Today, people crowd into theatres for the latest 3D movies. Even older movies, such as the popular Star Wars series, are being re-released in 3D. Moviemakers are excited about the ability to involve the audience more directly in the story or film. In addition, theatres spend tens of thousands of dollars on high-quality audio systems so that everything from the safest whispers to the largest explosions sounds clear and realistic. What will movies be like 100 years from now? Will audiences be able to smell scents in the films, taste the food that characters are eating, or even becoming part of the stories themselves? Only time will tell. 【1】What does the underlined word “hit” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A.A heavy blow. B.A crowded place. C.Something very popular. D.Something very touching. 【2】The author mentioned moviegoers leaping out of their seats to show . A.how foolish audiences were B.how different old theatres were C.how scary movies from the past were D.how unfamiliar movies were to viewers then 【3】Why do theatres spend a lot on high-quality audio systems? A.To re-release more old movies. B.To develop movie technologies. C.To improve movies’ sound quality. D.To get audiences involved in the story. 【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A.To explain how realistic movies are today. B.To tell something about future movie plans. C.To compare movie theatres over the last century. D.To introduce the development of movie technology. |

Pirates: Romance and Reality In the movies, pirates have exciting and adventurous lives. 【1】 Which aspects of the movie pirate are real, and which are invented? A Pirate's Life While movie pirates are men in search of adventure, the average pirate was usually trying to escape from a difficult life.

Men elected their captain and created the ship's rules together. 【3】 In movies, pirates have chests full of gold and piles of money stolen from other people. However.it was far more common for pirates to steal things like cloth, spices, and even medicine. They often sold these things. 【4】 They spent it as soon as they could on women and alcohol. Pirate Style Movie pirates often wear eye patches and have wooden legs. Many real pirates also looked like this. Why? 【5】 “Life at sea was hard and dangerous,” says David Moore, a maritime museum employee in the U.S. Disease was also common. For these reasons, some pirates lost eyes and legs. A.Pirate Heaven B.Pirate Treasure C.One reason was the poor living conditions. D.Others were escaped slaves who wanted their freedom. E.But what was life actually like for an 18th-century pirate? F.The men also divided the income from stolen goods fairly. G.Also, unlike movie pirates, real pirates didn't bury their money. |
