It’s a goal for millions and millions of families every year——keep the Christmas spending within a certain amount, but can still afford the gifts that your loved ones will enjoy. Never has this concern been greater in recent years than right now. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help.

Hit the sales.

No one wants to get up at four o’clock in the morning and fight to get the best deal on Black Friday, and it’s surely very tough to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal, but sometimes——it can be well worth. Many retailers(零售商) offer specials all through the day——and some even offer online Black Friday specials, so you may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday.

Pay close attention to advertisements.

Once the Christmas shopping season is coming, retailers hungry for business will do just about whatever to get you in the store. Pay very close attention to weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers and you may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.

Shop online.

Some of us don’t like running from store to store in order to get the best price on the perfect gift, and some of us don’t like to go out in the cold at all——thankfully for us, we can do online shopping.

The world of online shopping lets people visit all the major retailers as well as some specialty stores that could only be found on the Internet. Customers can find exactly what they are looking for, at the best possible price without ever having to leave the house. With traditional Christmas shopping consumers are sometimes limited to what’s left in stock if they wait too long to get to a particular store.

1.The first paragraph implies that ______.

A. nowadays not many people can afford expensive gifts

B. recently many people don’t want to spend money on gifts

C. Christmas is a time to make our loved ones enjoy their gifts

D. Christmas is a time to make us feel free to buy our loved ones gifts

2.In the writer’s opinion, it is rewarding on Black Friday _____.

A. if the weather is not very cold B. if we don’t have to fight for the best deals

C. if we don’t have to get up early D. If we get what we want at a good price

3.The underlined word “specials” means_______.

A. some experts in shopping

B. certain things for especially low price

C. some kind of help for a certain customer

D. things that can only be found on Friday

4.We can have more choices _____.

A. on Black Friday B. in a particular store

C. on the Internet D. from retailers

1.A

2.D

3.B

4.C

India is an ancient civilization with rich cultural heritage (遺產), and its cultural heritage has something to do with all major religions of the world. Here we take a look at some of the top heritage destinations in India.
Sun Temple, Konark
As the name suggests this temple is all about the power of the sun God. A huge chariot (二輪戰車) drawn by seven horses and twelve pairs of wheels reflect the importance which ancient people placed on the power of the sun. The pictures of animals and humans give this place a special look.
Churches Goa
Goa is the only Indian state which was under the Portuguese (葡萄牙人), so the scene in Goa is dotted with (點綴著) Portuguese style churches. Some of the famous churches include the church of Saint Catherine, church of Saint Augustine and church of saint Francis of Assisi. These churches exhibit beautiful paintings and flower designs which make them a must visit.
Ajanta and Ellora Caves
These caves contain well designed paintings which are widely regarded as the most outstanding works of Buddhist religious art.
Taj Mahal, Agra
Built on the bank of the Yamuna River, it is an excellent building. The writing and paintings on the outside structure provide the finest examples of the outstanding style of buildings.
Sanchi
Sanchi is a UNESCO world heritage site with numerous Buddhist temples dating back to the seventh and eighth centuries.
On your visit to India, be sure to visit some of these heritage destinations. An Indian journey is not wonderful without experiencing the beauty of these heritage destinations.

閱讀理解。

     閱讀下列材料, 從所給的六個選項(A、B、C、D 、E  和 F )中,  選出符合各小題要求的最佳選項.選項中有一項是多余選項.
A. Prepare for Rainy Days

                                                Steps to Retire a Millionaire
     Having a million-dollar portfolio is a retirement dream for many people. Making that dream come
true requires some serious effort. While success is never a sure thing, the steps outlined below will go
a long way toward helping you achieve your objective.
1. ____
Vacations, car, kids and all of life's other expenses take a big chunk out of your paycheck. To maximize
your savings, you need to minimize your expenses. Buying a home you can afford and living a lifestyle
that is below your means and not funded by credit cards are all necessities if you want to boost your
savings.
2. ____
If you don't save, you'll never reach your goal. As obvious as this might seems, far too many people
never even start to save. If your employer offers a 401(k) plan, enrolling in the plan is a great way to
put your savings on autopilot. Simply sign up for the plan and contributions will be automatically taken
out of your paycheck, increasing your savings and decreasing your immediate tax liability.
If your employer offers to match your contributions up to a certain percentage, be sure to contribute
enough to get the full match. It's like getting a guaranteed return on your investment. Finding the cash
to stash may be a challenge, particularly when you're young, but don't let that stop you from pursuing
future riches.
3. ____
Studies have shown that the majority of the returns generated by an investment are dictated by the
asset-allocation decision. If you are looking to grow your wealth over time, fixed-income investments
aren't likely to get the job done, and inflation can take a big chunk out of your savings.
Investing in equities entails more risk, but is also statistically likely to lead to greater returns. For many
of us, it's a risk we have to take if want to see our wealth grow. Asset-allocation strategies can help
you learn how to make picking the right mix of securities the core of your investing strategy.
4. ____
Part of long-term planning involves accepting the idea that setbacks will occur. If you are not prepared,
these setbacks can put a stop to your savings efforts. While you can't avoid all of the bumps in the road,
you can prepare in advance to mitigate the damage they can do.
5. ____
Your income should rise as time passes. You'll get raises, you'll change jobs, and maybe you'll get
married and become a two-income family. Every time more cash comes in to your pocket, you should
increase the amount that you save. The key to reaching your goal as quickly as possible is to save as
much as you can.
