You don’t have to pay for the Wi-Fi directly. B. These costs are not paid by the organizers themselves. C. Free samples are a good way to try new products. D. Nothing in the world is truly free. E. You may not pay money for the dinner, but you pay in other ways. F. The goal is to encourage customers to buy more. The saying “There’s no such thing as a free lunch” is well-known in economics. It means that everything we get in life has a cost, even if it doesn’t seem like it. 1________ For example, many coffee shops offer free Wi-Fi to customers. You might think this Wi-Fi is free, but it’s not. The coffee shop pays for the Wi-Fi service, and this cost is included in the price of the coffee and other products. 2________ When you use the free Wi-Fi, you are actually paying for it indirectly. Another example is free samples in supermarkets. Shops offer free food samples to attract customers. 3________ If you try a sample and like it, you may buy the product. The cost of the sample is part of the shop’s marketing budget, which is paid for by the customers who buy the product. Even free events like concerts or festivals have hidden costs. Organizers spend money on venue rental, equipment and performers. 4________ They may get sponsorship from companies, which then advertise their products at the event. Or they may charge for food and drinks at the event to cover the costs. The idea of “no free lunch” also applies to our daily lives. If your friend invites you to a free dinner, they are spending their own money. 5________ You may feel obligated to invite them back later. This is also a kind of “cost”. Understanding the “no free lunch” principle can help us make better choices. We should not be fooled by “free” offers. Instead, we should think about the hidden costs and appreciate the hard work of others who provide goods and services. 【答案与解析】 1. D 解析：前文解释“天下没有免费的午餐”的含义，D选项“世界上没有真正免费的东西”进一步强调该观点，引出后文的例子，逻辑连贯。 2. A 解析：前文提到“Wi-Fi成本包含在咖啡价格中”，A选项“你不必直接支付Wi-Fi费用”衔接后文“间接支付”，符合语境。 3. F 解析：前文提到“商店提供免费样品吸引顾客”，F选项“目的是鼓励顾客多购买”解释提供样品的原因，衔接后文“试吃后可能购买产品”，逻辑通顺。 4. B 解析：前文提到“组织者在场地、设备等方面花钱”，B选项“这些成本不是由组织者自己支付的”引出后文“赞助商或食品饮料收费”的支付方式，衔接自然。 5. E 解析：前文提到“朋友请你吃免费晚餐，他们花自己的钱”，E选项“你可能不用为晚餐付钱，但会以其他方式付出”解释“隐藏成本”，衔接后文“之后可能要回请”，符合主题。 提高题 Rewrite the following sentences as required (按要求改写句子) 1.

Between 11,000 and 6,000 years ago, people started exchanging things like cows, sheep and crops to get what they needed. This was called barter. However, barter had many problems. For example, it was hard to find someone who wanted what you had and had what you wanted. More than 3,000 years ago, people began to use shells as money. Shells were beautiful, hard to find and easy to carry. Later, people used feathers, gold and silver as money. The first coin was made in Lydia, a country in ancient Greece. Coins were more convenient than shells because they were uniform in size and value. Over 1,000 years ago, the Chinese invented paper money during the Song dynasty. It was called “Jiaozi” and was the first paper money in the world. Paper money was light and easy to carry, which made trade much easier. But it also had a problem: it was easy to copy. About 50 years ago, electronic payment started to develop. Now, people use plastic cards (credit cards and debit cards) and mobile phones to pay for things. QR code payment is very popular in China. You can pay for almost everything with a simple scan of your phone. Although payment methods have changed a lot, the basic function of money remains the same: it is a tool for trading goods and services. Economists say that money helps our society run smoothly. Without money, trade would be very difficult. However, modern payment methods also bring new challenges. For example, electronic payment makes it easier to overspend. People often spend more money when they pay with a card or phone than when they pay with cash. Also, there are risks of online fraud. To use money wisely, we need to understand its history and value. We should learn to manage our money well, make budgets and save for the future. Only in this way can we enjoy the convenience of modern payment without falling into financial trouble. 1. What was the problem of barter? A. It was too easy to copy. B. It was hard to find a matching trading partner. C. It was not safe. D. It was too heavy to carry. 2. Which of the following is the correct order of the development of money? A. Barter → shells → coins → paper money → electronic payment B. Shells → barter → coins → paper money → electronic payment C. Barter → coins → shells → paper money → electronic payment D. Shells → coins → barter → paper money → electronic payment 3. What is the advantage of paper money compared to coins? A. It is uniform in size and value. B. It is hard to copy. C. It is light and easy to carry. D. It is more valuable. 4. What challenge does electronic payment bring? A. It is not convenient. B. It is hard to learn. C. It makes people overspend easily. D. It is not accepted by most shops. 5. What is the writer’s advice on using money wisely? A. We should only use cash to pay for things. B. We should learn to manage money, make budgets and save. C. We should avoid using electronic payment. D. We should spend as little money as possible. 【答案与解析】 1.

B 解析：根据最后一段第二句“We should learn to manage our money well, make budgets and save for the future”，可知作者建议“学会理财、做预算、存钱”，故选B；A、C过于绝对，D与文意不符。 句意：作者关于明智使用金钱的建议是什么？——我们应该学会理财、做预算并为未来存钱。 Complete the following sentences.

Just let it sit at the bottom of your sock drawer? Well, that's not a bright idea. Why don't you invest some of that money? Your savings might increase in this way! There are many different ways to invest your money. Long-term savings Putting your extra money in a long-term savings account is a much better idea than putting it in a piggy bank. These accounts earn returns for you in the form of interest. In other words, your money will grow over time. If you put 10 yuan in your piggy bank every month ... If you put 10 yuan every month in an account that earns a 6-percent interest rate each year...

When you buy stocks of a company, you own a small part of that company. If that company grows, the value of your investment will grow, too. If the value of the stocks has gone up by the time you finally sell them, you will have earned money. Of all the investment methods listed in this article, stocks can earn the highest returns. However, if the company you've invested in doesn't perform well, you will lose money. Before you decide to buy stocks, make sure you get advice from your parents. Loaned investments With loaned investments, you lend money to companies for a period of time. When that time is up, you get your money back, plus interest.

These costs are not paid by the organizers themselves. C. Free samples are a good way to try new products. D. Nothing in the world is truly free. E. You may not pay money for the dinner, but you pay in other ways. F. The goal is to encourage customers to buy more. The saying “There’s no such thing as a free lunch” is well-known in economics. It means that everything we get in life has a cost, even if it doesn’t seem like it. 1________ For example, many coffee shops offer free Wi-Fi to customers. You might think this Wi-Fi is free, but it’s not. The coffee shop pays for the Wi-Fi service, and this cost is included in the price of the coffee and other products. 2________ When you use the free Wi-Fi, you are actually paying for it indirectly. Another example is free samples in supermarkets. Shops offer free food samples to attract customers. 3________ If you try a sample and like it, you may buy the product. The cost of the sample is part of the shop’s marketing budget, which is paid for by the customers who buy the product. Even free events like concerts or festivals have hidden costs. Organizers spend money on venue rental, equipment and performers. 4________ They may get sponsorship from companies, which then advertise their products at the event. Or they may charge for food and drinks at the event to cover the costs. The idea of “no free lunch” also applies to our daily lives. If your friend invites you to a free dinner, they are spending their own money. 5________ You may feel obligated to invite them back later. This is also a kind of “cost”. Understanding the “no free lunch” principle can help us make better choices. We should not be fooled by “free” offers. Instead, we should think about the hidden costs and appreciate the hard work of others who provide goods and services. 提高题 Rewrite the following sentences as required (按要求改写句子) 1.

Between 11,000 and 6,000 years ago, people started exchanging things like cows, sheep and crops to get what they needed. This was called barter. However, barter had many problems. For example, it was hard to find someone who wanted what you had and had what you wanted. More than 3,000 years ago, people began to use shells as money. Shells were beautiful, hard to find and easy to carry. Later, people used feathers, gold and silver as money. The first coin was made in Lydia, a country in ancient Greece. Coins were more convenient than shells because they were uniform in size and value. Over 1,000 years ago, the Chinese invented paper money during the Song dynasty. It was called “Jiaozi” and was the first paper money in the world. Paper money was light and easy to carry, which made trade much easier. But it also had a problem: it was easy to copy. About 50 years ago, electronic payment started to develop. Now, people use plastic cards (credit cards and debit cards) and mobile phones to pay for things. QR code payment is very popular in China. You can pay for almost everything with a simple scan of your phone. Although payment methods have changed a lot, the basic function of money remains the same: it is a tool for trading goods and services. Economists say that money helps our society run smoothly. Without money, trade would be very difficult. However, modern payment methods also bring new challenges. For example, electronic payment makes it easier to overspend. People often spend more money when they pay with a card or phone than when they pay with cash. Also, there are risks of online fraud. To use money wisely, we need to understand its history and value. We should learn to manage our money well, make budgets and save for the future. Only in this way can we enjoy the convenience of modern payment without falling into financial trouble. 1. What was the problem of barter? A. It was too easy to copy. B. It was hard to find a matching trading partner. C. It was not safe. D. It was too heavy to carry. 2. Which of the following is the correct order of the development of money? A. Barter → shells → coins → paper money → electronic payment B. Shells → barter → coins → paper money → electronic payment C. Barter → coins → shells → paper money → electronic payment D. Shells → coins → barter → paper money → electronic payment 3. What is the advantage of paper money compared to coins? A. It is uniform in size and value. B. It is hard to copy. C. It is light and easy to carry. D. It is more valuable. 4. What challenge does electronic payment bring? A. It is not convenient. B. It is hard to learn. C. It makes people overspend easily. D. It is not accepted by most shops. 5. What is the writer’s advice on using money wisely? A. We should only use cash to pay for things. B. We should learn to manage money, make budgets and save. C. We should avoid using electronic payment. D. We should spend as little money as possible. Complete the following sentences.
