At the end of the day, several of the students suggested hanging out in the city for a while before getting dinner. They ended up spending thousands of dollars at the clothing store. It was only when they had finished that they decided to eat dinner at a place across the street. In the nicest restaurant I had ever been to, I ordered the cheapest appetizer I could find, and sat in silence as the students around me reminisced about their most recent vacations to Europe. When the dinner was over, a student suggested seeing a Broadway play, and one guy told the group Cabaret was playing for only $250 a ticket. I knew I wasn't going to be spending $250 for a show. “I have a lot of homework to do ， ” I said. “But thanks anyway.” I walked back to the hotel alone. To be very honest, I find it fascinating to be surrounded by classmates who come from wealthy families I have never experienced. Meanwhile, I'm not embarrassed for being unable to afford the things my classmates buy. I'm proud of who I am, and where I've come from. On the other hand, one of my classmates had gotten to college on a needsbased scholarship. He didn't have any money. He didn't have a car and relied on brisk walks to get anywhere. He couldn't even afford food, so he worked part time at college food service to make a few dollars and grab leftovers for meals. He certainly kept me grounded as I felt like a spoiled brat（娇生惯养的孩子） using money so freely and buying myself a sandwich whenever I felt hungry. So,while I was ridiculously wondering about my insufficiency(不足), he showed what real determination and pride were. 4.What did the author do after dinner? A. He went shopping.B.

They are striking creatures but they are also dangerous. Three years ago, twin baby girls Isabella and Lola Koupparis were left with arm and face injuries after they were attacked by a fox while they were sleeping at their home. Last week, a four-week-old baby boy, Denny Dolan, was bitten by a fox which entered his home. After gaining access to the home through the front door, the fox pulled the baby down from the sofa and tried to drag him outside, biting him and almost severing(割断)his finger. Although fox attacks on humans are still very rare, they will become more common if we don’t change our behaviour towards these increasingly fearless animals. It is humans rather than foxes that are responsible for rising fox attacks on humans. On the one hand, people who love foxes treat these wild animals like pets, leaving food out for foxes, feeding them from their hands, and even inviting foxes into their home. The result is that the fox is more brazen and less inclined to avoid us. It is those people who feed foxes that cause foxes to lose their fear of humans. However, as long as they have a healthy fear of humans, they won’t bother humans. On the other hand, foxes have moved into cities for lack of resources in rural areas. We take away their natural habitat to build more houses and factories. Foxes have no choice but to live and search for food in the city. If they live in the forest, no fox attack will happen. We have to learn to share the earth with animals and let foxes return to their natural habitat. We also have to learn to look upon foxes as wild animals. We have to remember that they are instinctive killers, efficient and silent with only one purpose, kill to eat. We must certainly not intervene（干涉） them, even when they look starved. They are hungry for a reason. The hunger will force them to hunt for rabbits and other animals instead of waiting for food at your door. 8. We can learn from the passage that____ . A. it is common for people to spot foxes in British cities B. it is very difficult for people to raise foxes as pets C. it is common for foxes to attack a child in Britain’s urban areas D. it is very dangerous for foxes to live in Britain’s urban areas 9. Why do more and more foxes flood into cities? A. Because urban people love the cute animal. B. Because foxes lack natural resources in the forest. C. Because no houses are built for them in the forest. D. Because their habitats are occupied by other animals. 10. We can learn from the passage that the author____ . A. is very cruel to foxesB. is a wild animal lover C. is concerned about foxesD. is against feeding foxes 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. It is humans rather than foxes that are to blame for the rising fox attacks on humans. B. People in cities must certainly not feed foxes, even when they look starved. C. Human beings have to learn to live in harmony with wild animals in cities. D. Foxes in British cities are striking creatures but they are also dangerous animals.
