Here are 4 of the best apps that can help you save much money. Capital One Shopping Capital One Shopping can compare prices automatically as you shop online. As you add items to your cart at an online retailer, this app will search the web for better deals and coupon codes. You can follow the links to other retailers offering a better price and use the available codes to save. You can even use this app while shopping at brick-and-mortar (实体的) stores. Paribus There’s nothing more upsetting than buying something and then seeing it for sale at a lower price a few days later. Wouldn’t it be nice to get that money back? Now you can. Paribus helps you get money back by tracking your purchases from major stores and negotiating refunds. It also helps you get compensated (补偿) for late deliveries and makes sure you don’t leave it too late to return anything you bought. Qapital By setting goals and rules, Qapital helps you to make the most of your money and to save wisely. There’s a feature that divides up your commitments between spending and saving. You’ll also be able to take part in “Money Missions”, which are fun challenges designed to give you insight into smart financial investments. If you want to invest too, you can use Qapital’s pre-built portfolios, which are tailor-made (特制的) to the timeline and amount you input. Digit If you can’t figure out how much you can afford to save, Digit will analyze your spending habits and allocate (分配) a certain amount to your savings. If the app knows you have spare money to save, then it will be moved automatically, and if you don’t, it will stop, so there’s no risk of being left with no cash for the basics.

She took the change from it and counted it carefully three times. She carefully placed the coins in a jar and twisted on the cap. She took the jar and slipped out of the back door. She made her way six blocks to a drug store. She waited patiently for the pharmacist (药剂师) to give her some attention but he was too busy attending other customers at that moment. She tried several times to get his attention but failed. Finally, she took a quarter from her jar and hit it on the glass counter, which was finally able to get her some attention. “What do you want, little Miss?” the pharmacist asked the tiny girl in the front of his counter. “My brother is really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle,” the girl answered back. “I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist. “My brother is really sick and my daddy says only a miracle can cure him now. So, I want to get a miracle for him. How much does it cost?” “I’m sorry but I can’t help you. We don’t sell miracles here, little girl,” the pharmacist said, softening a little. Next to the little girl was a tall well-dressed man. He lowered himself and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” “I don’t know,” the girl replied with her eyes in tears. “I just know he is very sick and has something bad growing inside his head. Doctor says he needs an operation. But daddy can’t afford it, so we need a miracle to save him now. I can use all my money to save my brother.” “How much do you have?” asked the man. “One dollar and twelve cents, it’s all the money I have now, but I can get some more if needed,” the girl answered in a whisper. “Well, what a coincidence,” smiled the man. “That is the exact price of a miracle for a little brother. Take me to your brother. Let’s see if I have the miracle your brother needs.” The man was a famous nuerosurgeon (神经外科医生). He was just the right person needed to save the little boy’s life. The operation was completed without any charges and it went successfully. Her mommy wondered how much it would have cost. The little girl just smiled, but said nothing. 41. The girl took the money out of the piggy bank to ______. A. keep it in her bank account B. buy her brother a miracle C. cover the debt at the drugstore D. donate it to a needy child 42. Why did the little girl hit a quarter on the glass counter? A. To let off her steam. B. To show off her wealth. C. To get timely service. D. To attract other customers. 43. What can we learn from the conversation between the girl and the doctor? A. Her father was embarrassed for lack of money. B. Her brother suffered from head injuries. C. She was confident in saving her brother. D. He was ready to help the little girl. 44. What the surgeon did implies that he is ______. A. considerate and honest B. gentle and open-minded C. brave and creative D. kind and professional 45. What’s the best title of this passage? A. The Price of a Miracle B. A Special Day at the Drugstore C. A Doctor with Kindness D. The Survival of a Strong-willed Boy C A recent study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science offers new findings about why people take different types of photos. The research reveals that individuals use first-person photography — capturing a scene from their own perspective — primarily to document a physical experience. In contrast, they opt for third-person photos, such as selfies where they are visible in the frame, to convey the deeper meaning of an event and to immerse viewers in the scene. This distinction is crucial for understanding the psychology behind photo-taking. Earlier studies on selfies primarily focused on how individuals present themselves to others, often emphasizing the role of the self-image and social media. However, this new research shifts the focus to why people capture memories, emphasizing the different goals behind their photo-taking choices. According to Zachary Niese, a psychologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany and co-author of the study, “Our findings show that people take both types of photos in different situations, depending on whether their goal is to capture the physical experience of the moment or its broader significance in their life.” The study, which included six experiments with over 2,100 participants, found that when the goal is to capture meaning, individuals are more likely to take selfies. They also tend to find greater meaning in third-person photos than in first-person ones. This suggests that the chosen perspective can significantly affect how meaningful a photo feels to the viewer. Interestingly, people tend to prefer their photos when the perspective corresponds to their initial purpose of taking them. Niese adds, “Although taking photos is often ridiculed in popular culture, personal photography can help individuals reconnect with past experiences and shape their self-narratives.” The researchers caution against assuming that one perspective is inherently better than the other. Instead, the most effective choice depends on the individual’s goal at the moment — whether it’s to capture a physical experience, like touring a museum, or the deeper meaning of an event, such as a wedding or graduation. This study emphasizes the complex relationship between photography and personal memory, showing how our intentions shape the way we document and revisit our experiences. By recognising the different purposes of photo-taking, we can better appreciate photography’s role in our lives as both a form of self-expression and a tool for preserving memories. 46. What does the new research focus on? A. The psychology of photo-taking choices. B. The advantages of first-person photography. C. The cultural factors influencing photo choices. D. The way people record their memories through photos. 47. According to Niese, why do people primarily take personal photos? A. To capture the feeling of the moment. B. To boost people’s self-confidence. C. To enhance one’s public image. D. To document everyday life. 48. People tend to like their photos better when ________. A. they are taken in popular culture B. the perspective matches their original purpose C. they are shared widely on social media D. they record only wonderful experiences 49. Why does the author mention “a wedding or graduation” in Paragraph 4? A. To highlight the popularity of selfies. B. To criticize third-person photos at important events. C. To suggest first-person photos are unsuitable for such events. D. To explain why third-person photos convey significant moments. 50. What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph? A. The purpose of photo-taking shapes its value. B. Photography captures physical experiences. C. Photo-taking is mainly for self-presentation. D. Photography has little effect on memory recall. D How many times have you found yourself in conversations with friends, family members or loved ones and discovered that you had completely tuned out to what they were saying? How much of our attention are we truly giving to the people who are supposed to be important to us? According to research cited by Wright State University, while most people believe they are good listeners who don’t need to improve their listening skills, the average person only listens at about 25 percent efficiency. So why aren’t we better listeners? As a society, we may be growing more narcissistic (自我陶醉的). A 2007 study found a rise in self-centeredness and narcissism among college students. If we, as a culture, are becoming more self-centered, how can we, as individuals, work to become more caring and compassionate communicators? We can begin by changing our attitudes toward conversations. As Stephen R. Covey wrote in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand but to reply.” A dialogue is an opportunity to learn, to see things from a new perspective, to open your eyes to new information and possibilities. Yet, too often we engage in conversation as if it’s a debate. We speak to hear our own voices — our own pre-existing opinions. In doing so, we tend to space out when spoken to. We wait, perhaps even patiently or politely, for the other person to finish, so we can say something we feel is of value. Playwright Wilson Mizner said, “A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, he knows something.” Listening doesn’t just expand our knowledge on an intellectual level; it enables us to have a more personal, in-depth understanding of our closest friends. Relationships are truly enriched by an equal back-and-forth exchange in communication. When these dynamics become more one-sided, we tend to lose interest and create distance in our friendships, with less trust established, less honesty exchanged. Thankfully, we can all improve our listening skills. Maybe we aren’t as good a listener as we believe. Do we tend to focus too much on ourselves — both in positive and negative ways? Do we get distracted by an inner coach, rather than living in the moment and really engaging in what’s being said? As we learn to quiet that inner voice in our minds, we can start to open ourselves up to others, becoming better listeners, thinkers, lovers and friends. 51. What is the author’s purpose in showing the social phenomena in Paragraph 1? A. To show most people are confident about their listening skills. B. To express his concerns about people’s lack of attention when talking. C. To introduce the fact that people have low efficiency of listening in life. D. To provide some information about how people behave in conversation. 52. Why does the author cite the research data from the year 2007? A. To prove college students have become more self-cenfered and narcissistic over time. B. To show the belief in people’s listening skills is outdated and needs to be updated. C. To provide an example of how society’s narcissism affects personal relationships. D. To support the argument that society is becoming more self-centered and narcissistic. 53. Based on the views of Stephen R. Covey and Wilson Mizner, which of the following statements is true? A. People should listen to learn and see things from a new perspective. B. A good listener is popular but does not necessarily know everything. C. Most people listen with the intention to understand, not to reply. D. We should speak to hear our own voices and pre-existing opinions. 54. What does the underline phrase “space out” in Paragraph 4mean? A. Become focused. B. Feel confused. C. Be absent-minded. D. Remain anxious. 55. Which of the following titles best captures the main idea? A. The Decline of Listening in Modern Society B. Improving Listening Skills for Better Relationships C. The Impact of Narcissism on Social Communication D. Why We Should Listen More and Speak Less V. 阅读表达（共5个小题，每题2分，共10分） 阅读表达 I used to be a selfish girl and I only thought of myself. I did not care about helping others, but only about my look, clothes, money and grades. One day, I was suddenly influenced by my neighbor, who is now in college, and ended up wanting to volunteer for others. He had so much fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others. I hoped to get the same results, for I felt worthless everywhere then. I viewed almost everything in a negative way, and I figured I had to experience something that would make me appreciate things that I had. I volunteered at the nursing home for a year where my neighbor volunteered. I brought snacks, coffee and games for the elderly patients, talked to them while sharing snacks, and played games like chess and checkers with them. Because they were Koreans, they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them. I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help. By volunteering at the nursing home,I changed a lot. I realized how lucky I am to speak both Korean and English and that I should help other people learn Korean as well. I had learned many life lessons through volunteering. By helping others, I felt needed in society. Not only did it boost my confidence, but it also allowed others to benefit from it. Volunteering is a great opportunity to improve oneself, others, and the whole society. So if you ever have the chance, volunteer! It's something you won't regret 56.

As the pie chart shows, 60% of us favor high-paying or popular industries, 30% prefer easy and stable jobs, while only 10% would choose less popular but meaningful fields requiring long-term dedication. This trend stems from our pursuit of material comfort and stability. Yet we shouldn’t ignore the spirit of craftsmanship — focusing on a field, honing skills, and pursuing excellence regardless of immediate gains. Those underestimated fields like traditional crafts and basic research drive social progress and bring profound fulfillment. Let’s look beyond temporary benefits, think about our passions and society’s needs, and make rational career choices. Thanks for your listening! 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
