Some people will do just about anything to save money.And I am one of them.Take my family's last vacation.It was my six­year­old son's winter break form school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a week long trip.The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.I have a meeting in New York，So I had to get back.But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay.I took my nine­month­old and took off for home.

The next day my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight.Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered them to wait it out at the airport, to “earn” more Delta Dollars.Our total take：$1，600.Not bad, huh?

Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either.But as a big­time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar.And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.

I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks.I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade.I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide.And I really do what I believe in.I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth.I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants.But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut.It keeps its longer, and it's the first thing people notice.And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture.Quality lasts.

2016高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。My last days of my month-Song trip to Guatemala found me self-reflective and grateful. I had rejoined the living after spending two days in bed, thanks to a terrible period of food poisoning that had me running from both ends.

I spent 36-plus hours locked up in my hotel room in a cold sweat and grasping my st

omach in pain. There may have been a bit of crying. There also may have been a few out-loud prayers to God begging him to make it stop and asking why I had been chosen to go through this. I should mention that I am not religious.

I didn’t have a mobile phone and my hotel room was not equipped with a fixed line, so I had no way to get in contact with my mommy or my loving boyfriend so that I could share my suffering.

Days later, I had recovered fully. While the bug (虫子) ran its course, I had to give some thanks to the staff at my hotel in Guatemala for being so sweet. They came to check on me on a couple of occasions once they realized I wouldn't/couldn't leave the room. They offered me tea and to call a doctor. I declined both offers but was moved by their kindness.

I may get sick often when on the road, but I had to say that the worst thing ever is to get sick while traveling alone. If I am sick, only when people I know and care about are around does it make me feel better. It’s not even about them playing Florence Nightingale -sometimes, just having them there and being able to feel their presence is enough to make you feel stronger.

1.What is the best title for the text?

A. Being ill while travelling B. The worst part of traveling alone

C. Recovering from the illness D. Travelling alone while ill

2.Why did the author get sick?

A. Because she had wrong medicine. B. Because she travelled too much.

C. Because she got a stomachache. D. Because she had poisonous food.

3.What happened during my illness?

C. I suffered a lot. D. I was bitten by a bug.

4.What lesson did I get from the experience?

A. Don't get sick while travelling or you can't travel with pleasure.

B. Remember to have a mobile phone while travelling or you can't contact relatives.

C. Don't travel alone or you will get sick and feel lonely.

D. Be grateful for the presence of the people you know and care about.

2016高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。Children are children after all, and most of them speak their mind. When they are just toddlers(幼儿), no matter how naughty or rude they are, we think it is amusing to watch them speak like a grown-up. But as they grow, these same kids seem annoying and ill-mannered if they try to sound grown-up.

Conflicts often appear between parents and children. Reasoning does not seem to work with them.It's hard to tell who are right and who are wrong. A child of 7-8 always finds some reasons to have a conflict with his parents. Whether it is about some toys, studies, basic affairs, parties or friends, there is always a difference in opinions between them. And it becomes worse when they answer you back. Psychologists say that children should be handled with care. Yes, sure they should be but not at the cost of disrespecting their elders.

We are partly responsible for this situation. At an early age we encourage grown-up-like behaviour, just because we find it amusing. The kids on the other hand consider this same behavior as normal and get used to it. And when it is not funny for us any more, we expect them to stop it, but by then it is already too late. Only when they reach a certain maturity will the children realize that answering back and being rude are not acceptable. Until then, most of the time their behavior is difficult to change, unless by force. And the use of force is again not a very good idea, as it weakens the child's confidence.

Thus this brings us to the conclusion that it is one thing to bring a child into this world but quite another to make them into well mannered citizens. The best way is to be a good example ourselves, as our children are a reflection of us adults.

1.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. It is annoying to watch children speak like a grown-up.

B. We should deal with children carefully according to psychologists.

C. We are totally responsible for our kids’ impolite behaviour.

D. Most of the time children’s behaviour is easy to change.

2.What's the main idea of the second paragraph?

A. There are usually conflicts of opinions between parents and children.

B. Children would like toys better than their parents.

C. Children always look down upon their parents.

D. It’s strange for children and parents to disagree with each other.

3.Which of the following is part of the reason for the present situation of the children?

A. Children always think their parents’ opinions are wrong.

B. Parents often try to change their children by force.

C. Parents give too much loose to children.

D. Children are often asked to follow their parents.

4. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. It is important that we teach children how to behave well and bring them into the world.

B. It is important to bring a child into the world safe and sound.

C. We should try to make a child follow the elders.

D. We should train children to be good citizens with good manners.
