Pyramid Surprise
Linda and I were born only a few days apart, so every year we plan a birthday party together. This year, our birthday theme(主题)was “Discover the Pyramids”.

Mary was lonely, and hadn’t made many friends, but she was better at math than anyone else in class.

It is good to know that your parents will provide you a shoulder to cry on when you meet setbacks(挫折). Would it still be welcome if your mother gave up her job to be closer to you all the time
Many parents in China have chosen to do so. They stay home to cook healthy food and help children with their homework, reported 21st Century Business Herald and some even rent a small room near their children’s school to save their time. such parents have got the nickname of “helicopter parents”, which means they always closely hover around their children.
“This is harmful to their children as they will not be able to learn self-dependence,” said Chicago family expert Danielle Sines.
However, parents have their own reasons. “Most students in China are only children, and so parents are willing to do everything to help them stand out among the fierce(激烈的)competition,” said China Youth Daily.
This June, Liu Lu began her last year in high school in Hebei. Her mother rented a small room near her school so that she could do the washing and cooking for her. “I’ll have to be there for my children as she is making that last push for college. What I do will save her a lot of time so she can better prepare for the national college entrance exam. It’s worth it.” Her mother told the reporter. In fact, schools in Northeastern states in the USA, such as Connecticut and New York, have the same trend(趋势). In September, students moved into their dormitories but many had some extra equipment(装备): their parents.
However, students are still advised to face new challenges standing on their own two feet.
29. The underlined expression “hover around” in Para.2 probably means ________.
A. deal with B. pick up C. look after D. turn to
30. Why did Liu Lu’s mother rent a room near her school
A. To take care of her. B. To help her with her study.
C. To make sure she studies hard. D. To teach her to learn self-dependence.
31. What’s the passage mainly about
A. The study of “helicopter parents” in America.
B. The parenting style — “helicopter parents” in China.
C. The relationship between parents and children in America.
D. The importance of children’s self-dependence in China.

Parents and children often face the challenges of money. Common topics include setting pocket money, learning to save, and deciding to buy expensive things. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to deal with money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families achieve these goals
The Tidier family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids make some money. Their son, Ryan, 17, has been watering in the garden since he was 8. He owned his own tools with the help of his parents. Now he has saved $7,800. Besides, he bought a bike and a wonderful sound system. And he is going to buy a car next year.
Money skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady manages a company toward children and young adults. “They shouldn’t be always thinking of spending money.” Brady warns. Instead, they should understand basic rules for making money, saving money, and managing money.
That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past ten years, most Americans aged 18 to 24 borrowed nearly $3,000 on credit card(信用卡). Among high school seniors, four out of five have never taken a class about money.
Giselle Lopez, of New York City, learned the hard way. So far, she has owed(欠)$2,000 on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the money off slowly by herself. “Now every time I use money, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says. “That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.” Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to use money doesn’t have to mean setting strict rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves.
37. What is the goal of most parents about money
A. To set kids’ pocket money.
B. To get money to spend.
C. To save some money.
D. To teach kids how to use money wisely.
38. What did Ryan buy with his own money
A. A car. B. A bike. C. Watering tools. D. A company.
39. How much money did Giselle borrow on her first credit card
A. $2,000. B. $3,000. C. $7,800. D. We don’t know.
40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the writer
A. Most American high school students have some knowledge about money.
B. Young people shouldn’t be always thinking of spending money.
C. Children will set rules for themselves about money.
D. Children shouldn’t have rules for themselves about money.
