Medical student Hillier had some experience of selling a few of her own old clothing items on an app called Poshmark.She never thought much of it.But one day she noticed other Poshmark sellers were profiting from selling thrift store finds.Because of her student loans,Hillier began studying their strategies and using them to create her own side hustle.That first T-shirt sold for $20.Since then,Hillier’s side hustle has brought in more than $117,000,including $85,000 last year alone.It currently averages $6,000 to $7,000 of profit per month,helping her lately purchase a five-bedroom house. Hillier’s side hustle began in August 2020,when she noticed that other Poshmark sellers were posting thousands of items that couldn’t have been from their own closets(衣柜).She learned that many were sourcing their items from thrift stores.She spent the next two months testing various sellers’ methods.Then she centered on one style—bright vintage(古典的) pieces—because those items are sold the most quickly. Hillier’s side hustle didn’t really pay off,though,until she found a balance between selling clothes and medical school.On Fridays,she’d run from classes to thrift stores,spending those evenings sorting and cleaning clothes.On Sundays,she’d take snaps of her new stock(存货).On Mondays,in between hospital rotations(换班),she’d upload the new products onto her Poshmark closet.And every other day,she’d run to the post office.“You’ve got to do it on a regular basis,” Hillier says.“If I didn’t love it so much,I wouldn’t make the time for it.” Now,some of Hillier’s side hustle’s money covers her down payment on a house.The rest will go towards new furniture,travel,her two dogs and student loan payments.“A lot of people can’t get a stable job in the medical school because they don’t have the time or flexibility,” Hillier says.“It’s nice to not only have time to do something I like,but afford other things.I will keep this business moving on when I’m an attending doctor.” 4.What made Hillier decide to start her side hustle? A.Her great love for fashionable clothes. B.Her need to earn money at the moment. C.Her purpose of making a career change. D.Her early success in selling old clothes. 5.How did Hillier prepare for her side hustle? A.By becoming a user of Poshmark. B.By learning from others’ experience. C.By contacting some Poshmark sellers. D.By filling her closet with bright vintage clothes. 6.What is the key to Hillier’s success in her side hustle? A.Knowing customers’ tastes. B.A big collection of clothes. C.Following a routine. D.A large amount of free time. 7.What does Hillier plan to do in the future according to the text? A.Hold on to both her side hustle and work. B.Apply for a more flexible job. C.Transform her side hustle into a hobby. D.Buy another new house. C (2025山东德州高一下期末) I often reflect on my father’s influence through his crossword puzzles.Appa,my father,once sadly mentioned wishing he had put money to buy homes for his children.Yet when he passed away,he left me a box of worn but functional yellow pencils,tools he used daily to solve crosswords.They gave me insight into his quiet dedication. Appa used to read the day’s newspapers cover to cover,not for news but to hunt for forgotten words for a crossword puzzle.“Ah,got it!” he’d exclaim,his joy coming not from wealth but from simple victories.He would pause puzzles to play with his grandchildren or listen to their stories. Influenced by his love for words,I built my career writing stories for nonprofit,valuing passion over pay.When friends criticized my low earnings,I hesitated.I picked up one of his yellow pencils.Though hurt,I found comfort in readers’ praise online,mirroring Appa’s focus on the bright side. Appa would read aloud to me,training my love for language.By introducing me to the power of words,Appa guided my life’s mission,a purpose I never questioned nor felt the need to explore more cleverly,for it was our shared passion that mattered.While content for many years,I occasionally felt a sense of inner imbalance.At such moments,Appa would remind me:“Money isn’t everything,and more wealth doesn’t mean greater happiness.” You see,a crossword is complete and brings joy—with only so many words,each resting on connections with others.And so now I take assignments,some well-paid,some not,but together,most importantly,they fill me with joy.That is why I remain committed to this career. 8.What did Appa’s yellow pencils symbolize for the writer? A.His unspoken financial regrets. B.His desire for his kids to succeed. C.His commitment to simple joys. D.His perseverance against difficulty. 9.Why did Appa read newspapers thoroughly? A.To improve his writing skills. B.To teach his children language. C.To keep up with the latest news. D.To seek solutions for word puzzles. 10.How did the author feel when starting his writing career? A.Conflicted but recognised. B.Regretful but reflective. C.Indifferent to the feedback. D.Motivated to change jobs. 11.What does the author intend to convey through his story? A.Fortune plays an important role in life. B.Value lies in inner passion and content. C.Career choice prioritizes personal taste. D.Hard work finally leads to great success. Ⅵ.七选五 How to Make a Personal Budget in Several Steps Though making a budget may not sound like the most exciting activity,it’s an important part of keeping your financial house in order.　1　 If you spend less in one area,you can spend more in another.  Gather your financial paperwork. Before you begin,gather up all your financial statements,including bank statements,investment accounts,credit card bills and so on.You want to have access to any information about your income and expenses.One of the keys to the budget-making process is to create a monthly average.　2　  Calculate your income. 　3　 If your income is in the form of a regular paycheck where taxes are automatically deducted (扣除),then using the net income (or take-home pay) amount is fine.If you are self-employed or have outside sources of income,such as child support or social security,include these as well.Record this total income as a monthly amount.  　4　 Write down a list of all the expenses you expect to have during a month.  Determine fixed and variable expenses. Fixed expenses are those mandatory (法定的) expenses that you pay the same amount for each time,including rent payments,car payments,set-fee Internet service and so on.　5　 For example,you need to spend on groceries,gasoline,entertainment,eating out and gifts.  Make adjustments to expenses.If your expenses are far above your income,you may need to reduce your fixed expenses and increase your income to balance your budget. A.Create a list of monthly expenses. B.That’s because budgets rely on balance. C.Total your yearly income and expenses. D.How much income can you expect each month?
