26、Things You Shouldn’t Do While Shopping
● Leave your kids alone.
If you plan to bring your children with you to do holiday shopping, make sure that they are well-rested and fed. 【1】 It’s also not the staffs responsibility to watch over your children since they have to attend to other customers. If you do have to take your kids with you, use this as an opportunity to teach them the manners every parent should teach their children.
● Park like you own the place.
The only thing worse than shopping in stores during the holidays is parking at the store. Be patient in the parking lot and avoid unnecessary honking (鸣笛). It is also suggested that you leave your car at home and take a cab, Lyft, or Uber instead. 【2】
● Keep the shopping cart (购物车) in the middle of the passageway.
Keep in mind that the flow of traffic in the passageways is the same as on the road—stick to the right and let people pass on the left. 【3】 You shouldn’t park your shopping cart in the middle of the passageway, because that could make it difficult for other shoppers to get by.
● 【4】
For the clothes that don’t fit after the try-on, fold or hang them and return them to a staff member on your way out. This will make the shopping experience more pleasant for both the shoppers and the staff since the changing rooms won’t be filled with unwanted and messy clothes. 【5】 By keeping your changing room clean, you’re showing respect for your fellow shoppers and the staff who work there.
A.Otherwise,the staff have to organize them.
B.Leave unwanted clothes in the dressing room.
C.Especially rude driving habits could be dangerous,too.
D.The extra cost could be worth the lack of parking stress.
E.If it is possible to shop without a cart,you could save some money.
F.If you’re looking at something,park your cart to the right side of the passageway.
G.You should never leave your kids unattended because they may injure themselves.
27、How to Rent Your House
Before handing the keys to your house over to a complete stranger for care, there are decisions you need to make. In fact, the decisions you make now, before searching for a tenant (房客), will make the biggest impact on the success of your rental. 【1】
What Condition Do You Want Your House in?
There is no end to the amount of improving you can do to your house before renting it out. 【2】 When is good enough, good enough?
A house should be clean, empty (unless you are offering it “furnished”, which is uncommon) and free from any major repairs at the time the tenant moves in.
Remember, the home does not need to be as fancy as you would want it to be. 【3】 Tenants will generally never take as good care of your house as you do―so don’t spend too much time or money making unnecessary upgrades that will only be ignored or broken.
Should You Use a Property Manager?
【4】 If you have the time, abilities, and energy to manage yourself―you can save a good deal of money by doing so. However, if you try to manage without the ability―it could end up costing you much more than what a property manager might charge.
How Much Can You Rent Your House for?
Luckily, discovering what the monthly rent will bear for your house is not difficult. 【5】 In business, market research means to get out there and find out what others in your industry are charging; learning how much to charge for rent is no different. Your house will generally rent for about the same amount as other properties that are of similar location, size and condition.
A. The problem becomes learning when to stop.
B. No one wants to be a landlord with those problems.
C. The following are some questions to answer before you rent out your house.
D. Have a professional carpet cleaner clean the carpets before showing the property.
E. Look around at other rentals in your area and try to see what the typical quality is.
F. The best way to determine how much your house will rent for is to simply do market research.
G. The decision about whether to manage yourself or hire a property manager cannot be made by anyone other than you.
28、 During the high school career, students may begin to question the importance of a college education. They might find themselves asking, “Why is it important to go to college?” The answer is that, more than ever, college graduates enjoy much greater opportunities available to them than those who have not received a college education.
For many high school students, being able to immediately generate an income after graduation is an appealing thought. They may also be affected by the rising cost of tuition, and while it is true that a higher education may be one of the largest expenses you will ever face, the importance of a college education has become quite evident in terms of earning potential within today’s economy.
Why should you go to college? One important answer to this question is more opportunity. As opposed to generations of the past, high school graduates today are unable to obtain high-paying jobs that were once available. The U.S. has been transformed from a manufacturing-based economy to an economy based on knowledge, and the importance of a college education today can be compared to that of a high school education forty years ago. It serves as the gateway to better options and more opportunity.
There are additional reasons as to why it is important to go to college. When students experience a post secondary education, they have the opportunity to read books and listen to the lectures of top experts in their fields. This encourages students to think, ask questions, and explore new ideas, which allows for additional growth and development and provides college graduates with more opportunities in the job market over those who have not experienced a higher education.
The importance of a college education is also stressed because of the opportunity to gain valuable resources during the study. The more connections which are collected during your college career, the more options you will have when you begin your job search. Once you have ended your job search and have started your career, however, the importance of a college education has not been exhausted. Having a college degree often provides for greater promotion opportunity.
So, why should you go to college? The reasoning does not begin and end with the job aspect. A good education is beneficial from many different viewpoints, and though the importance of a college education is quite evident for many high school students, what is often not as clear is how they will pay for that education.
【1】Why do some high school graduates prefer working to college study?
A.To obtain high-paying jobs. B.To earn money at an early age.
C.To spend less money on tuition. D.To adapt to the knowledge-based society.
【2】The author most likely agrees with the idea that ____.
A.too much time is spent on lectures in college study
B.high school education is a gateway to more opportunity
C.college graduates gain more chances over others in job market
D.a college degree guarantees promotion in American companies
【3】What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph after the last paragraph of the passage?
A.Refusing college education. B.Changing college education.
C.Receiving college education. D.Affording college education.
【4】What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Importance of college education. B.Education means opportunity.
C.Which is more important, job or education? D.How to survive in the college.
【5】Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?
I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion
A.
