23、 Money has always complicated our social lives. A question in October from a woman wondering whether she should attend her neighbors’ holiday parties broke my heart: “I am not able to do the same in return, and I just feel like a freeloader to do so，” she wrote. “I’m not even in a position this year to take an appropriate thankyou gift with me.” I told her to go, of course.
Meanwhile, hosts worried about the costs of entertaining — the hosts who write to me, anyway. On the other hand, the hosts that guests write to me about have taken some extreme measures to reduce the cost of their hospitality. These range from a dinner party where a relative of the host explained how expensive the steaks were and “rather pointedly suggested” that the letter writer “make a financial contribution” to the cost of dinner, to some Cape Cod homeowners who invited a couple to spend a weekend with them — as long as they brought their own food, bottled water, and toilet paper.
Weddings and other special events always create extra sources of stress, worsened by the fact that people rarely want to talk honestly about their money situations. One couple chose to have only a civil wedding ceremony for financial reasons and wondered how to tell people this without going into too much detail. A sixtysomething couple needed to cut back on Christmas gifts to their children but weren’t sure how to tell them about it. People who had been laid off wondered how to notify friends, respond to inquiries about their job search, and compete with former colleagues for positions.
If you are searching for the answers to them, write to me—an advice columnist.
【1】The underlined word “freeloader” in the 1st paragraph showed the woman’s ________．
A. disapproval B. happiness
C. confusion D. agreement
【2】What bothered the hosts mentioned in Paragraph 2 most in their social lives?
A. Steaks. B. Entertainment.
C. Cost. D. Thankyou gifts.
【3】What would you be expected to do if you were invited to spend a weekend with some Cape Cod homeowners?
A. Ask someone for advice.
B. Get your food and water ready.
C. Bring a bottle of wine with you.
D. Make a financial contribution to the cost.
【4】What makes the social life even worse?
A. Weddings and other social events.
B. Being laid off and notifying friends.
C. Cutting back the costs for lack of money.
D. Telling others about their financial troubles.
24、 When "irregardless" was included in Merriam-Webster dictionary, it caused wide disagreements. “Irregardless” has been in widespread and near-constant use since 1795, when a newspaper called The Charleston City Gazelle of Charleston Ga., first used it. We do not make the English language, we merely record it,“ the dictionary's staff wrote in “Words of the Week”.
The word's definition, when we read it, would seem to be without regard. However, Merriam-Webster defines "irregardless" as “nonstandard” but meaning the same as “regardless”. According to Merriam-Webster, "Many people find 'irregardless' to be a ridiculous word, as the ir-prefix usually indicates negative meaning; however, in this case it appears to make the meaning of ' regardless’ stronger. "
“It's not a real word. I don't care what the dictionary says,” responds author Michelle Ray, who teaches English in Silver Spring, Md. And she says she's still planning to mark “irregardless" as incorrect on her students' work.
An American newspaper the Baltimore Sun published the word in editor John McIntyre's commentary on Saturday: Irregardless' is too a word; you just don't understand dictionaries. People get upset about the dictionary because they think it is some sort of official document. But actually, it's not. It's just lexicographers identifying words that people use and trying to find out how they are spelled, how they are pronounced, what meanings they have and where they came from. "
“The dictionary's recognition doesn't enroll a word as correct in the English language,“ McIntyre says. "It just says this is a word that a lot of people use in English. And here's what we know about it. " So it's a word, but its use is still discouraged in formal writing.
【1】Where was "irregardless" first used?
A.In a newspaper. B.In an online post.
C.In a new dictionary. D.In an expert's comment.
【2】How does Merriam-Webster define “irregardless”?
A.It defines it as meaningless. B.It defines it as a nonstandard usage.
C.It defines it as the opposite of “regardless”. D.It defines it as indicating a negative attitude.
【3】What is Michelle Ray's attitude towards the use of “irregardless”？
A.She is uncertain about it. B.She thinks it informal but correct.
C.She is unwilling to accept it. D.She doesn't care about how her students use it.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A."Irregardless" Is Frequently Used in Formal Writing
B.Experts Can't Agree on the Meaning of “Irregardless"
C." Irregardlee" Shouldn't be Included in the Dictionary
D.Regardless of What You Think, “Irregardless" Is a Word

For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the________way. Her shopping is not often________on need. She has never fully decided what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”.
