Section Ⅳ　“Developing ideas”的课文习读环节 [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A If you ask 100 people what subjects they wish they had been taught in school, there is a chance that the vast majority of them will complain about the lack of personal finance education.In my case, I did learn a bit about financing while in school — just not in the classroom.One of my earliest lessons on the basics of budgeting came from an unlikely source: the cafeteria. My lunch budget was a set amount each week.Without a plan, it would be all too easy to blow through the budget long before meeting all expenses.Therefore, my very first budgeting lesson was to make a budget well.A bit of simple arithmetic (算术) helped me determine exactly how much money I could spend each day if I wanted to actually have lunch all week. Besides, my school had relatively diverse lunch offerings.You could not only get the common hot school lunch but also find many other foods of varying attractions.As far as I was concerned, what attracted me most was the ice cream.Unfortunately, I couldn't blow my daily lunch budget on ice cream.And I'd already figured out that splurging early in the week made for a rough time for the rest of the week.Hence, I learned my second important budgeting lesson: save for a goal.Because of this lesson, when Friday rolled around, I would have just enough left over for a wonderful lunch and the highly desirable ice cream. Nowadays, my budget is a bit more complicated than the lunch budget in the past.Although I no longer have to save my pennies for a frozen treat, budgeting my money today uses the exact same skills I learned all those years ago.Actually, whether you're budgeting for school lunches or credit card bills, the basics remain the same.And it's never too early — or too late — to learn how to make a proper budget. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者上学时在自助餐厅就餐的经历鼓励人们学习一些做预算的技巧。 1．What can we learn about the author while she was in school?

In this instant world it is hard to succeed in anything. To achieve your goal you first have to change your life from instantly to persistently (坚持地)． Persistence is the course you need to set. When you change your expectancy from instantly to persistently you will gain an advantage of time that many do not have. Time works against those who live instantly. Opportunities are never seen because when something doesn't happen instantly, people move on to the next thing on their list and consider the current goal a failure. Persistent people have the advantage of time. It allows them to step back, observe and assess the progress of the goal they are pursuing. Some things take longer to develop; some just need to be left there for a while to find their own way. When you live instantly you gain and lose instantly. Many times you do not know how you got there or how to get back because it is not repeatable. When you live persistently you learn how things work, how to correct a plan and how to guide it to make it successful. You do not panic because you know you have more than enough time. Slow down and take time to enjoy the journey. If what you are doing is not fun then stop doing it and do something else. Everything you do should be in pursuit of a better tomorrow than you had yesterday. You should take time to develop your abilities to reach your goals. Do not get discouraged just because your success is not instant. Celebrate each step along the way. People who live instantly don't take time to appreciate what they have accomplished. They are just looking for the next thing that they can get instantly. You must be grateful for the time it takes to reach your goal. Persistence will get you there if you really want to get there. 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了想马上就成功的人和坚持不懈的人在追求成功的过程中的不同做法。想要到达成功的彼岸，就要学会坚持，别轻言放弃。 5．Why will people who want things instantly fail in many things?

A．The willpower.　　　　 B．A target. C．A plan. 　 D．An opportunity. 解析：选A　推理判断题。第二段讲到那些想要马上成功的人看到事情没有马上成功就立刻转到另外一件事情上去了，他们缺少对目标的坚持，而那些坚持不懈的人的主要优点在于他们的坚持和毅力。故选A。 7．According to the text, persistent people ________. A．focus more on the result B．work slower than instant people C．will get rewarded for their efforts D．don't appreciate what they have done 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，坚持不懈的人会成功，他们所付出的时间和努力最终会得到回报。 8．What's the writer's main purpose of writing the text? A．To blame those who live instantly. B．To persuade people to live happily. C．To praise those who have succeeded. D．To suggest learning the art of persistence. 解析：选D　写作意图题。文章主要论述了想马上就成功的人的失败及坚持不懈的人的成功，从中可看出作者是想建议我们学会坚持这门艺术。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 How to be a more responsible person?
