21、Not many people have an emergency fund even though it is essential. It will become your financial buffer (缓冲)in case something unexpected occurs. 【1】 You can one day tell yourself you’ll finally start saving up, but with the bills you need to pay and the other needs you must consider, your plan might fail. Here are a few aspects for you to consider when you wish to succeed in saving your rainy day fund.
Usually, it is suggested that you save a total of three to six months’ worth of expenses. 【2】 And if you get overwhelmed by the amount you need to save, you might become discouraged and fail. To settle the issue, forget about that suggestion. You should decide how much you want to save initially. For instance, you can just start with one month's worth of expenses. 【3】
Budgeting is also important if you want to be financially healthy. Note what expenses are non-negotiable, such as your living expenses and food. 【4】 It's not bad to spoil yourself sometimes, as long as the price is reasonable relative to your current financial situation.
【5】 For instance, those who wish to pursue higher education will need to budget and save up for their school expenses. Even if they go to an affordable educational institution, other school-related expenses can still be quite a lot. So, knowing how to budget will help them survive school without falling much into debt.
A．Therefore, you need to find a way to deal with it.
B．Budgeting can help improve your academic performance.
C．And when you achieve that, then you can set a higher goal.
D．However, saving an emergency fund is easier said than done.
E．Set aside some money for some non-essential expenses as well.
F．But it's not that easy to set aside such a huge amount all of a sudden.
G．Learning how to budget will be useful in other areas of your life as well.
22、 “He was a nightmare (噩梦),” his mother, Mary said as I talked with her and her son Jamie. “I was sure he was going to end up in prison, or worse”. Seeing Jamie so full of life with his new friends, there was no room for imagination that he was ever a rebellious (叛逆的) kid.
Jamie was raised by his mother after his father left ten years ago. They lived in a small flat with little money. Most of their neighbors were alcoholics, so crime was very common. At middle school, he quickly got in with the wrong crowd and began to steal everything from shoes to phones.
Mary didn’t realize the consequence of the trouble Jamie made until he told her he had been stopped from going to school for three weeks. Mary was very angry, but now she has realized that it was the best thing that had happened to both of them.
During the three weeks, Mary made him volunteer at the local community centre where he saw the street dancers for the first time. “They were so cool and able to express themselves in a way I had never seen before. I asked to join them and they agreed. Because of them I am who I am now.” Jamie told me, tears in his eyes.
Back at school, his whole attitude and behavior improved. “I realized the boys I was hanging out with weren’t cool, stealing wasn’t cool and getting out of school wasn’t cool either. It made me find something I love and have a goal in life.” he said.
Yes, street dance makes him happy. This kind of dance speaks to people, and gives them a purpose.
【1】Who is most probably the writer?
A.A reporter. B.A manager.
C.A photographer. D.A dancer.

24、It seems that everyone seeks for bright white teeth. There are whitening materials in toothpastes, mouthwash, and even chewing gum. Yellow teeth seem to get a bad reputation and are usually associated with poor oral hygiene (卫生) . Fortunately, we have some good news for those who lack those pearly whites. Yellow teeth are actually stronger than bright white teeth!
We know, it's hard to believe. According to sciencefocus. com, the enamel (珐琅质) on your teeth is naturally a blueish white color and the dentine ( 牙质) beneath it is naturally yellow. Since the enamel is semitransparent, the yellow shows through the blueish white. This creates a light grey or light yellow color. However, if your teeth are significantly darker than a light yellow， there may be a potential cause such as disease or tooth decay.
The process of bleaching your teeth is what weakens them.“Some products contain hydrogen peroxide (过氧化氢) that spread through the enamel. It breaks down the compounds that are causing color changing, and your teeth become lighter, ”Adriana Manso, a clinical assistant professor in the Faculty of Dentistry, told The University of British Columbia.
“Those products can have multiple side effects such as damaging the dental enamel, causing harm to the gums, tooth sensitivity and more,” Manso adds.“Some of these effects are lasting; for example, the damage to the dental enamel is permanent and irreversible.
If you sill long for those white teeth though, there are plenty of chemical-free routes to take that won't damage your enamel一like eating celery, spinach, onions, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, peanuts or drinking green tea, or consulting a doctor to try, other more advisable ways to naturally brighten your teeth.
【1】What can we learn from paragraph 1 and 2?
A．Yellow teeth are weaker than white ones.
B．People who have yellow teeth have a bad reputation.
C．The enamel and dentite beneath it are the same color.
D．Your teeth may become darker than a light yellow due to tooth decay.
【2】What does the underlined word “bleaching” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Whitening.
B．Brushing.
C．Strengthening.
D．Protecting.
【3】Which is the proper way to whiten teeth according to this passage?
A．Drinking whatever you want.
B．Seeing a doctor for surgery.
C．Adopting approaches to protecting enamel.
D．Using some whitening oral products.
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The benefits of keeping yellow teeth.
B．The methods of whitening teeth.
C．The reasons for not whitening teeth.
