• 1．On a Friday night in New York，a poor young man called Jay stood near the subway station，playing the violin.The music was so great that many people slowed down and put some money into his hat.
     The next day，Jay came again.He took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground.Then he began playing.It seemed more pleasant to listen to.Before long，many people came，looking at the paper.It said， "Last night，a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat.Please come to claim （認領）it soon."
     Seeing this，people wondered what it could be.After about half an hour，a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the young man and said， "I'm the George.I knew you'd surely come here!"

     Jay was a student at an art school in Paris.He had booked the flight and would fly that morning.However，when he happened to find the ticket holder had won the lottery，he cancelled （取消）the flight and came back to the subway station.

• 2．How to Study Smarter，Not Harder
  Here are some of our favorite study tips that will help any student study smarter，not harder.
     Recite As You Study
     Reciting—saying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section.Test yourself.This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening.It will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.
     Take Fuller Notes
     Notes should be in your own words，brief and clear.They should be tidy and easy to read.Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read，since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.
     Study the Middle
     The best time to review is soon after you've learned something.You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson，so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.
     Sleep On It
     Study before going to bed，unless you are very tired.It's easier to remember material you've just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity，because your brain continues to think even after you've fallen asleep.
     Combine Memory and Understanding
     There are two ways to remember：by memorizing and by understanding.Multiplication tables（乘法表），telephone numbers，and math formulas（公式） are better learned by memorizing（記憶）.Ideas are best learned by understanding.
     The more ways you have to think about an idea，the more meaning it will have；the more meaningful the learning，the better you can remember it.Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts，and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know.Never be satisfied with anything less than
  a completely clear understanding of what you are reading.If you are not able to follow the thought，go
  back to the place where you first got confused and try again.
  
  （1）When taking notes，you should

  to better help you with reading.
  A．underline important notes
  B．write notes in your own words
  C．take down every detail
  D．write as quickly as possible
  （2）The writer advises you to

  as it is easier for you to remember material.
  A．study after a period of activity
  B．do some exercise after studying
  C．study as soon as you get up
  D．study before going to sleep
  （3）Which of the following is NOT helpful for your understanding？

  
  A．Thinking about an idea in different ways.
  B．Relating ideas and concepts with what you already know.
  C．Reading from the beginning to the end without stop.
  D．Going back to what first made you confused and start again.

• 4．A night at the movies is always a good idea.But when you leave the theater and realize you just dropped ＄45 on a ticket and some snacks，you'll wish you had been patient enough to wait until the movie came out on Netflix.The average movie ticket price in the United States in 2000 was ＄5.39；now，a ticket is over ＄9.
  The main reason that movie tickets have gotten so expensive is because of inflation （通貨膨脹）.It was actually more expensive to go to the movies in the 70s than it is now.A ticket in 1978 cost ＄2.34.If you plug that into an inflation calculator，the same ticket would cost you ＄9.46 today.According to the National Association of Theater Owners，the average cost for a ticket today is ＄9.11.
  Another reason you need to spend some of your life savings to see a movie on the big screen is that theaters are competing with streaming services that produce their own films，such as Netflix，Hulu，and Amazon.And let's be honest，sitting at home on your sofa or in your bed is more comfortable than sitting in a cold theater.
  Because of streaming technology，theaters have to do something to bring in customers.Attractions—including alcohol，reclining seats （躺椅），surround sound，and 3-D movies are all examples of that.And those upgrades come at a price，leading to more expensive tickets.
  "There's all that extra cost，and it's really important for theater owners and companies to make that experience as enjoyable as possible，" Patrick Corcoran，vice president of the National Association of Theatre Owners told Marketplace. "Because you're offering a superb experience—audience expectations are for the latest and greatest technology.Audiences are willing to pay more for a particular experience."
  
  
  （1）According to the passage，what makes movie tickets so expensive？

  
  A．The viewers are wealthier than before.
  B．The movie theatres offer popcorns，alcohol for free.
  C．Inflation has made the ticket price appear higher than before.
  D．The popular movies with famous stars deserve the high price.
  （2）We can learn from the passage that

  .
  A．Netflix is always a better choice for movie viewers than theatres
  B．with comfortable seats，theatres are more attractive than streaming services
  C．the viewers actually pay more for the updates of the movie theatres
  D．the theater owners and companies update the theaters to make the theatres famous
  （3）Which of the following would Patrick Corcoran most probably agree with？

  
  A．It's unwise for viewers to pay so much to watch a movie in the theater.
  B．The high price of a movie ticket is supposed to agree with a wonderful experience.
  C．It's a waste of money to provide the latest technology in the theatre.
  D．The viewers would prefer to sit at home on the sofas or in the beds.
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Behind the Increasing Price of Movie Tickets
  B．Technological Improvement on Movie Theatres
  C．The Competition between Movie Theatre and Streaming Services
  D．How to Save the Viewers' Wallets

• 5．One of the things I want to plan well this year is how to manage my weight during the holidays.Because，let's face it，the next few weeks are some of the toughest weeks of the year when it comes to eating well.（1）

  ？If so，join me in taking these four steps to better health，less guilt and more peace of mind.
     （2）

  
     Yes，Thanksgiving，Hanukkah and Christmas provide a lot of opportunities to eat at family dinners，parties，church events，shopping trips，and many others.But those events don't happen every day-many days between now and New Year's Day are normal work，school and family days.So don't let every day become a "holiday eating event" and try to manage your weight.
     Eat the holiday foods you really love，and avoid the ones you don't
     Everyone has favorite holiday foods.Three of mine are pumpkin pie and ginger cookies and sweet potatoes.Maybe for you it's your mother's Christmas cookies，your neighbor's homemade candy，or your special coconut cake.So enjoy those foods，the ones that make the holidays special for you.But many holiday foods don't hold a special place in your heart.And some of them are worthless junk that doesn't deserve to be eaten. （3）

  .
     Move your body every day
     Regular physical activity helps you deal with some of the downsides of the holiday season，including worry，fatigue，the "blues"，and too many calories. （4）

  .At this busiest time of the year，you'll think you don't have time for it.But make time-it's worth it.
     Drink lots of water and eat real food most of the time
     Carry water with you wherever you go，and keep a bottle or glass handy at home or work.If you don't like plain water，make fruit waters. （5）

  .When you're not enjoying your favorite holiday foods，eat primarily fruits，vegetables，lean protein，nuts，whole grains，and healthy fats.
  
  A.So avoid those foods
  B.Are you trying to keep a balanced diet
  C.And eat as much real food as possible
  D.Are you looking for a way to manage your weight too
  E.Time permitting，I do hope to taste different kinds of food
  F.Don't allow the holiday season to become a six-week "eating season"
  G.It reduces stress，helps you feel energized，burns calories，and generally makes you feel great
