A credit card is like a "short-term loan" from a bank. When you buy something, the bank pays the store on your behalf (代表你) first. Then you should repay (偿还) the bank before a set date, usually once a month. If you do that, you don’t have to pay any extra fees (额外费用).
But credit cards have risks (风险). If you forget to repay on time, the bank will ask you to pay extra money called "interest". This can make the money you owe (欠) grow quickly. What’s worse, it’ll affect (影响) your credit record. For example, you may find it difficult to borrow money or apply for a credit card in the future. Even when you try to get a loan to buy a house or a car, it could be much harder because your bad credit record shows you might not repay on time. Also, it’s easy to overspend with a credit card because you don’t see cash leaving your hands.
Another risk is that if you lose your card, someone else could use it. You might have to pay the bill if you don’t report the loss immediately.
Credit cards are convenient, but you need to use them carefully — only buy what you really want, and always pay your bill in full and on time.
( ) 26. What does the underlined word “that” refer to?
A. Using credit card to buy something.
B. Paying the store with digital money.
C. Getting a loan to buy a house or a car.
D. Giving money back to the bank by a set date.
( ) 27. Which of the following is NOT a risk of credit cards?
A. People can overspend easily.
B. A lost credit card may be used by others.
C. Repaying on time can affect credit record.
D. Interest can make the money you owe grow.
( ) 28. Which sentence uses “apply” with the same meaning as the underlined word?
A. He has applied to join the army.
B. She applied some paint to the chair.
C. They applied the new technology to farming.
D. You will pass your exams if you apply yourself.
( ) 29. If Xiaoming buys a big toy car with his credit card but doesn’t repay on time, what will happen?
A. He might not buy a car.
B. He will repay more money.
C. Someone else will help him pay back.
D. The bank will be pleased with his behavior.
( ) 30. What’s the author’s view on using credit cards?
A. It’s dangerous to keep credit cards.
B. Credit cards are very useful in people’s lives.
C. Only buy things you need and pay back on time.
D. Applying for credit cards from different banks is necessary.
C
Money isn’t easy to get, but many students don’t think much about it. They might ask parents for new toys, nice clothes or expensive snacks without hesitation. What they may forget is: Where does the money come from? It doesn’t grow on trees.
Most parents work hard for their money. Some get up early for work and come back late after a long day. Others do heavy or boring jobs just to make money to support the family. Every penny they make comes from their hard work.
If you waste money, you are not just throwing away paper but ignoring (忽视) your parents’ efforts. For example, buying an expensive pen but losing it soon, or ordering too much food and leaving a lot on the plate. These small acts of waste add up. When we waste, we are wasting our parents’ efforts.
Being thrifty (节约的) doesn’t mean being stingy (吝啬的). It means using money wisely. Think carefully before buying something, save for what you really need and cherish (珍爱) what you have. Let’s remember: every coin counts, and hard work should never be wasted.
( ) 31. What do the underlined words “without hesitation” mean?
A. Without thinking carefully. B. Without feeling happy.
C. Without asking parents. D. Without having money.
( ) 32. Where do students’ money come from?
A. It grows on trees.
B. It’s from their parents’ hard work.
C. It comes from their part-time jobs.
D. It’s from their parents’ pocket money.
( ) 33. Which of the following is an example of wasting money according to the passage?
A. Ordering some food and eating half of it.
B. Buying a cheap notebook and making full use of it.
C. Saving money to buy a needed grammar book.
D. Thinking twice before buying a pair of new shoes.
( ) 34. What can we infer from the text?
A. Students shouldn’t buy expensive things.
B. It’s impossible for students to be thrifty.
C. Wasting money can hurt parents’ feelings.
D. Parents don’t care if students waste money.
( ) 35. What is the writer’s main advice?
A. We should never spend any money.
B. We should be smart and positive about using money.
C. We should always ask for expensive things.
D. We should only save money and never use it.
四、任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
Once upon a time, a man from the State of Chu wanted to sell a pearl (珍珠). To make it look valuable, he made a beautiful wooden (木制的) box for it. The box was painted with bright colors and had a pleasant smell. 36 He fell in love with it at once. So he paid a lot of money for the box and gave the pearl back to the seller, and then left with only the box. People laughed at him because he valued the box more than the real treasure (珠宝)—the pearl.
37 The man from Zheng focused only on the box’s beautiful appearance (外表) and forgot the true value of the pearl. 38 As a matter of fact, many students often buy unnecessary things just because they look nice, like fancy stationery (花哨的文具) or cool-looking toys. This is a bad habit for our growth in learning how to use money well.
Money is not easy to get. 39 Before buying something, we need to think, “Do I really need it? Will it be useful to me?” If the answer is “no”, don’t spend money on it.
40 For example, they can help us understand the value and focus on what is more important. If we follow this, we can manage our money well and avoid making the same mistake as the man from the State of Zheng who chose an empty box over a real treasure.
A.We should learn to make a proper budget.
B.A man from the State of Zheng saw the box.
C.Developing good financial (财政的) habits can help us a lot.
D.The story teaches us an important lesson about money.
E.This story tells us not to judge things only by their appearances.

Dear Mike,
I can understand your sadness. But money comes from our parents’ hard work. We shouldn’t always ask them for what we want. Let me tell you my story about saving up for something I loved.
Last year, I wanted a new basketball because my old one was broken. I decided to save money for it myself. I only drank boiled water and stopped buying snacks and other things I didn’t really need. At home, I helped my mom with housework to get money. It took me three months, but I finally saved up enough. When I held the new basketball, I felt so proud. It was not just a ball but also taught me the patience and the joy of working for what I love.
Stick to your small goal and try your best to work for it. I’m sure you’ll get the Lego bricks soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
