夾敘夾議文AThough you are a teenager now, there will finally come a time when you start to earn（賺）money. While it may be fun to have your own money to spend, it can also be difficult trying to manage it properly. Here are some tips on how to manage your money. Use your money wiselyMost teenagers earn money for everyday use, or because they are saving up for something. So when they receive their money，they must first decide what they want to do with it. However, try to avoid the temptation （誘惑） to spend it all in one go （一口氣）! Remember: Money takes a long time to earn, but it goes very quickly.Bank your savingsThe money you dont need can be saved at home or in a bank. If you want to save your money at home, get yourself a piggy bank or something else to keep your money in. The other choice is to save your money in a bank. One of the advantages is that you can earn interest on it.Use the money to make moneyRather than saving your money at home or in a bank, you can use the money you earn to invest（投資）in things to make more money. For example, if you are selling something around your neighborhood, you could pay someone else to sell your things in their neighborhood. This way, by spending a little, you can make a lot.1.

Or did you hear about the man who died at his desk at work, and nobody in the office noticed he was dead for five days? These stories have two things in common. They are both not true, and they are both urban legends. Usually, legends are stories of events from the ancient times. Urban legends, on the other hand, are stories set in the recent past, perhaps even last week! Urban legends also take place in cities or in places well known to people. Another characteristic of urban legends is that there are many different versions (版本) of the same story, with local information changed to make the story seem more real. Today, the Internet has become a common way for urban legends to move to other places very quickly.A good example of an urban legend is the story of the girl who was killed by her jeans. In the 1980s, it was fashionable to wear very tight jeans. At that time, Levis sold special jeans that would become smaller when you washed them. According to the story, a teenage girl wanted to make her jeans as tight as possible, so she wore them in the water. Unluckily, they became so small and tight that the girl died! In fact, this legend started from a Levis advertisement on TV. In the TV ad, a man wanted his jeans to become tight, so he put on them in water and his tight jeans became the perfect size. It is clear that this legend became popular because it came from the idea of teens trying hard to look good.However, some stories that sound like urban legends really start from some very strange and unusual, but real events. For example, there is a story about robbers using snakes to rob people. There have been real reports about robbers doing this. The robbers frighten a victim by holding a snake in the persons face. Then the robbers take the victims money. According to the legend, these robbers are very common, so you should keep an eye out for strangers carrying snakes.10. Which of the following is NOT true about urban legends?A. They usually take place in the country or in small towns.B. There is usually more than one version of the legend.C. They sometimes come from a real event.D. The Internet has made urban legends better known to people.11. What really happened to the girl in the jeans story?A. She became much thinner.B. Her jeans became too small.C. Her jeans looked better on her.D. She became famous and acted in an advertisement.12. According to the passage, why do some robbers use snakes?A. Because snakes are very common.B. Because snakes are poisonous.C. Because people are afraid of snakes.D. Because snakes are very strange.13. Which story in the passage really happened?A. The dog in the microwave.B. The girl who was killed by her jeans.C. The dead man in the office.D. The robbers who frightened victims with snakes.14. What is the best title of this article?A. Amazing true storiesB. Strange advertisementsC. Legends through historyD. Very unusual stories【答案】ABCDD【解析】【文章大意】本文主要敘述了傳說通常都是古代事件的故事，而都市傳奇則是發(fā)生在最近，甚至上周的故事，都市傳說也發(fā)生在城市或人們熟知的地方，其特點(diǎn)是同樣的故事有許多不同的版本。如今互聯(lián)網(wǎng)已經(jīng)成為都市傳奇的一種常見方式，可以非常迅速地轉(zhuǎn)移到其他地方。然而，一些聽起來像都市傳奇故事的故事真正開始于一些非常奇怪和不尋常的真實(shí)事件。 根據(jù)Urban legends also take place in cities or in places well known to people.可知，都市傳奇發(fā)生在城市或人們熟知的地方，而非鄉(xiāng)下或小鎮(zhèn)，選A錯誤，故選A。根據(jù)Unluckily, they became so small and tight that the girl died!可知，牛仔褲在水中縮水導(dǎo)致女孩死亡，故選B。根據(jù)The robbers frighten a victim by holding a snake in the persons face.可推知，人們害怕蛇，故選C。根據(jù)However, some stories that sound like urban legends really start from some very strange and unusual, but real events.
