26、 From American Express， wedding guests will，on average，spend ﹩673 on each wedding they attend this year． It includes airfare （﹩225）， hotel （﹩170）， dining out （﹩116）and dressing up （﹩95）and the gift． If you have weddings to attend this year， here are some tips for you to avoid breaking the bank．
1． Book flights in advance
The moment you decide to attend a wedding is the time to check flight prices at the best time． Plane fares are higher in the summer， especially in July and August． Booking in advance will save you money， as will watch for sales on lower﹣cost carriers like JetBlue and Frontier． You can check Google Flights for a calendar of prices showing the cheapest days to fly from apps like Hopper to get real﹣time alerts when a fare is at its lowest price point．
2． Don't blow your budget on the gift
If you've got the money， an expensive gift is lovely． But there's no need to take out loans to prove your love for the happy couple． Skip an expensive necklace by giving （an appropriate amount of） cash instead． To save on the gift， consider making one： A photo album or scrapbook of memories with the bride and groom shows how much you care． You could also share the gift with other guest（s） or even make gifts with DIY ideas by yourself to save money．
3． Use old dresses and suits
You don't always have to be on a new dress for a wedding． While men have the option of repeating their suits， women are more likely to spend money on new clothes for the special occasion． But before you take out your wallet， consider reinventing something already in your closet． Belts， colorful scarves， shoes can bring life to any outfit．

27、When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, "Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story" shown in late April.
Liz Murray, a 22.year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just l5 years old. The effect of that LOSS became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died,she decided to do something about it.
Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. ".What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,' she wrote in her book Breaking Night.
She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that "next to nothing could hold me down".
She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS."I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time."
Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is 'as simple as making a decision".
【1】In which order did the following things happen to Liz?
a. Her mother died of AIDS.
b. She worked at a petrol station.
c. She got admitted into Harvard.
d. The movie about her life was put on.
e. She had trouble finding a place to sleep.
A. b, a, e, c, d B. a, b, c, e, d C. e, d, b, a, c D. b, e, a, d, c

28、Roughly the size of a soda can, sitting on a bookshelf, a relatively harmless gadget may be turning friends away from your home. The elephant in your living room is your Internet connected security camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of mind in their homes. But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests. Should you tell your friends, for instance, that they’re being recorded while you all watch the big game together?
“It’s certainly new territory, especially as home security cameras become easier to install.” says Lizzie Post, president of the Emily Post Institute, America’s foremost manners advisors. “I think it will be very interesting to see what etiquette emerges in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if it’s not a security issue.”
Post wants to make clear that she’s not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preferences. She also wants to explain that there are no right or wrong answers regarding manners on this front yet, because the technology is just now becoming mainstream. Besides, the Emily Post Institute doesn’t dictate manners.
When it comes to security cameras, Post says it’s a host’s responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home. “I’m always a fan of being open and honest. “For instance, if the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in the room by telling a story about it, that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable.
However, if a contractor is working in your home, you don’t need to tell them that there are cameras watching. Then again, the air of accountability that the camera generates can also work in contractors’ favor. “If anything does go wrong while they’re in the house, they don’t want to be blamed for it,” she says. In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didn’t steal the $20, or knock the vase off the table.
【1】For what reason may your friends feel reluctant to visit your home?
A．The security camera installed may intrude into their privacy.
B．They don’t want their photos to be circulated on the Internet.
C．The security camera may turn out to be harmful to their health.
D．They may not be willing to interact with your family members.
【2】What is Lizzie Post mainly discussing with regard to the use of home security cameras?
A．Legal rights.
B．Moral issues.
C．Likes and dislikes of individuals.
D．The possible impact on manners.
【3】According to Lizzie Post, a host’s responsibility regarding security cameras is ________.
A．making their guests feel at ease.
B．indicating where they are.
C．turning them off in time.
D．ensuring their guests’ privacy.
【4】In what way can the home security camera benefit visitors to your home?
A．It can satisfy their curiosity.
B．It can prove their innocence.
C．It can help them learn new technology.
D．It can make their visit more enjoyable.
