And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation.It was my six-year-old son’s winter break form school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York，So I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing （揭露）the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.56. Why did Delta give the author's family credits?A. They took a later flight.B. They had early bookings.C. Their flight had been delayed.D. Their flight had been cancelled.57. What can we learn about the author?A. She rarely misses a good deal.B. She seldom makes a compromise.C. She is very strict with her children.D. She is interested in cheap products.58. What does the author do?A. She's a teacher.B. She's a housewife.C. She's a media person.D. She's a businesswoman.59. What does the author want to tell us?A. How to expose bad tricks.B. How to reserve airline seats.C. How to spend money wisely.D. How to make a business deal.BIt’s hard to find a star shining brighter in Nashville than Kenny Chesney. Since he took off They baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert （警觉）. Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time withthe spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus —until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise （同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.60. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s__.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell61. Babies are sensitive to the change in______.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects62. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies’ interest.63. Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children’s literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.【参考答案】21-25 BADCB 26-30 CDDDA 31-35 A DDAA36-40CBACD 41-45ABACC 46-50BDBCD 51-55CDADC56-60 AACCB 61-63 DCD附：【短语整理二】16. at the moment 此刻；(正当)那时17. last but not least 最后但同样重要的18. be on display = be on show 被展出，被展览19. be of great benefit to people 对人们非常有益/有好处20. in this way 这样21. be fascinated by 对…着迷/入迷22. be situated in / on 位于，坐落于23. accuse sb of sth 因某事控告某人24. close down 关闭，封闭；停止播音25. voice my opinions 发表我的意见26. at one time 同时，曾经27. fall off the bookshelf 从书架上掉下来28. carry out a survey on students’ opinions 对学生的意见进行一次调查29. prepare sb for the future 让某人为将来做准备30. come across 偶遇，不期而遇31. be widely recognized as 被广泛地认可为…32. be trapped in a lost spaceship 被困于一艘失控的宇宙飞船上。
