24、r Christmas tune. With the song in my head, I felt a bit sorry for myself. Instead of rushing back and forth across a freezing school campus, I could have had a cozy Christmas dinner at home or enjoyed the fabulous fireworks lighting up campus at night.

26、hildren would perform on stage while volunteers offered food to the spectators (观众) and collect some money for the organization.Naturally, we were supposed to support the idea wholeheartedly, and we did. But wait-the date of the show was set right on Christmas Eve! This meant that all our original C

27、hristmas plans would have to be set aside.However, we took the plunge into preparations for the party. We spared no effort in organizing, designing, propagandizing, and so on. We went through thick and thin and finally made it, though with a bit of reluctance.Finally, Christmas Eve arrived. As I dra

28、gged myself into the auditorium after another day of hard work, I detected the notes of a beautiful Christmas song that immediately filled me with happiness. I looked to find the source of the song-it was a group of children singing on stage. Though disabled, they appeared extraordinarily earnest an

29、d sincere in front of the audience. Everyone attending was deeply moved by the sight. People wanted to donate some money or show their support.At that point, I found all that I had done in the one-month time was worthwhile. And all the volunteers who had been participating in this Christmas party sh

34、asD.Get Ready to HelpBB/BThat cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time

35、 job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life bad become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to ke

36、ep away from any possible robbers (抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment (公寓房间), I heard a sound behind me: I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw wa

37、s a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasnt cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the doo

38、r and back to where Id heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Lily Smith?“

39、I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an aroused look in his eyes. “Is this what youre looking for?“ he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldnt get much sleep th

40、at night, trot I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldnt be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.（分数：5.00）(1).How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?（分数：1.00）A.Cold and sick.B.Fortu

44、bankBC/BDid you examine your paper money closely? See if you can locate a 5, 10, or 20 bill printed before 1964 and marked “Federal Reserve Note“ over the portrait. In the upperleft portion above the seal, a statement written in fine print says that the note is legal tender (法定货币) and that “it is re

45、deemable (可兑现的) in lawful money at the United States Treasury (美国财政部), or at any Federal Reserve Bank (联邦储备银行).“ Does this mean that the bin is not lawful? At the bottom center the same bill says, “Will pay to the bearer on demand X dollars.“ Does this mean that your X-dollar bill is not X dollars?M

46、uch confusion exists about the real nature of money. Many people think that money has no value unless it is backed by gold or silver. They think that the Federal Reserve note is only a symbol for money, and that real money is the metal backing the note. Some people look on money as wealth and believ

47、e that it must have intrinsic (内在的) value.If we were to study the history of money, we would find that in different places and at different times a variety of things have been used as money. Cattle, shell, beads (珠子),tobacco leaves, and various metals-including iron, zinc (锌), bronze (青铜), and coppe

48、r-have all been used as a basis of exchange. The precious metals, particularly silver and gold, have proved most satisfactory for this purpose and have been most commonly used in modem times.Until early 1968, the United States backed its Federal Reserve notes with 25 percent gold, but this did not mean that citizens could use gold as money or convert paper dollars to gold. Clearly, it is
