Cash is king. For an emergency, having some extra cash stashed away in a few places is a good way to cover yourself.

23、First day at school
It was my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school, I wondered what questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers, “I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven't lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It's about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the rule for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.
No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the centre of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me.
My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42boys in the class, so I didn't stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens, so he asked several boys if they knew Dickens’ birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said, “Timbuktu”, and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said, “Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn't make me very popular, of course. “He thinks he's clever,” I heard Brian say.
After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian's team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.
“He's big enough and useless enough,” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.
As the boy kicked the ball hard along the ground to my right, I threw myself down quickly and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were grazed and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.
“Do you want to join my gang (team)?” he said.
At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.
【1】Which question didn't the author prepare to answer?
A．How old are you?
B．Where are you from?
C．Do you want to join my gang?
D．When did you come back to London?
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Boys were usually unfriendly to new students.
B．The author was not greeted as he expected.
C．Brian praised the author for his cleverness.
D．The author was glad to be a goalkeeper.
【3】The underlined part “I didn't stand out” in Paragraph 3 means that the author was not ________.
A．reliable
B．nervous
C．important
D．noticeable
【4】The author was offered a handkerchief because ________.
A．he was in Brian's team
B．he was a new comer
C．he was beginning to be accepted
D．he pushed a player in the other team
24、Getting ripped off from time to time is just part of traveling---don’t let it ruin your day or your overall experience. But there are things you can do to avoid some of the most common rip-offs. Let me share my travel tips for how to avoid hidden fees, disappointed experiences and overpriced items.
Baggage Fees
Depending upon the airline, you can pay $15 to $75 for the first checked bag, and more for overweight bags. When possible, pack a bag lightly enough to a carry-on or fly airlines that still allow free checked bags(two bags for Southwest and one for JetBlue). Many airline programs allow members with a high status to have a free checked bag, so check your status.
Overpriced Hotel and Airport Food
To avoid the overpriced water sold at airports, bring an empty water bottle with you through security at the airport. Then, fill it up at a water fountain or ask a waiter at a coffee shop to fill it up for you. Pick up some snacks at a local corner store instead of hitting the hotel room mini bar, which can lead to expensive surprises on your final bill.
Tourist Trap Restaurants
If you’re visiting a restaurant or attraction that has online presence, Google it or search it on Yelp to see what the locals say about it and to find any available coupons(优惠券) that might get some extra savings. Often restaurants run deals on Yelp where if you “check in” at that restaurant and review it, you get a free dessert or 15% off the total bill, etc. By researching online, you’ll not only see whether there are any coupons or extra savings available, but people will tell you if the chef changed a month ago and the food is awful now.
【1】To have a free checked bag, you shall not_______.
A. take a light carry-on B. have a high status
C. take overweight bags D. choose Southwest Airlines
【2】If you want to drink free water at an airport, you can______.
A. take a bottle of water through security
B. go to a water fountain
C. go to a store at the airport
D. order a coffee at a coffee shop
【3】The passage is probably written by______.
A. a travel agent
B. an economical person
C. an experienced traveler
D. a skilled net-worker
25、 My violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me. Together, we’ve _________ both tears and happiness.
About 12 years ago, I made acquaintance (相识) with it following an order from my mom. Many hours of boredom were spent _________ it. And to make things worse, the _________ in my teacher’s eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, _________ on my heart. One day, I finally _________: I hate it!
By chance, things _________ when I was seven. I was at home lying on the sofa, wondering how those famous violinists _________ with this terrible dilemma. I searched online for the E-minor Concerto, a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.
A(n) _________ and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow(弓)moved across it. It was like the music _________ over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. The violin’s voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and __________ the air. As the music changed, the sky turned back to gray. A gloomy shade __________ the grass as all the sunshine disappeared. I could hear children crying and men shouting. It was like an invisible claw that had __________ my heart tightly, making it unable to beat.
That glorious day set off my __________ and interest in violin - I __________ mine and never let it go. Before the memories faded, I stared at my instrument. Without __________, I picked it up, rosined the bow, and began to play. Peace filled my heart.
My violin has been by my side for 12 years. When I feel happy, a(n) __________ tune makes it even better; when I’m deep in __________, a peaceful tune washes it away; when I’m walking on air, feeling __________ pleased with my achievements, solemn (庄严的) tunes __________ me down. Gradually, it has become a __________ of my life.
