(2024·湖南六校联考)Every year many students went to the college bookstore to purchase the different textbooks that they need for their classes.Little do these students realize that，in doing so，they are throwing good money away.It may sound unbelievable but textbooks，in some cases，actually cost as much as，if not more than，college fees.
Many people think that college bookstores are the most convenient source for textbooks.Titles are usually kept and students may purchase new textbooks or choose to buy second hand books and save money.But the money saved by purchasing second－hand textbooks from college bookstores is small compared to the amount they could save by shopping online.
More and more online booksellers have begun selling textbooks at heavily discounted prices.Online second－hand bookstores are another source for college books as they keep a large number of textbooks，which means sizable savings for students.Students should avoid purchasing their textbooks at the first store that they surf online since there are so many“unreal”booksellers on the Net.Price isn’t the only factor to consider when making an online purchase.Students should also consider shopping costs and delivery time when making their decision.
Online auctions(拍卖) are another option for students seeking a bargain.This option，however，has its pros_and_cons.A plus is that students can get incredibly cheap books.One problem is that while online bookstores have a system in place that ensure you receive your order within a reasonable amount of time，with an auction purchase，however，you must depend on the auction seller’s timetable.
One way that students can really save is by getting books for free.Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable.Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels.In the past students needing help with their studies would often have to spend a lot of money buying expensive study guides.Today that is no longer the case.Cash strapped students can now visit the website SparkNotes for free downloadable study guides as well as classics.

A．a government project aimed at helping English majors
B．a project to help poor students get free learning materials
C．a website for English majors to get the guides from language experts
D．a website for students to get free sources for English learning

(2024·长沙高三模拟)According to a study by SallieMae,84 percent of undergraduate students have credit cards，and by the time they are seniors，they have accumulated US $ 4,100 in debt，on top of whatever student loans they may have taken out.
Credit cards are the most convenient form of payment，and they are aggressively marketed to college students.Reportedly，a typical college student carries 4.6 credit cards and US $ 3,173 in credit card debt.
Credit cards seem to be a fact of life，not just student life.In the long term，using a credit card
properly and paying off the balance can help establish a card history and increase your credit score，which will come_in_handy when you need an important loan，for a house or car，for example.Your credit score can affect even unrelated things like insurance rates.Credit cards also offer more protection for users than debit cards (借记卡)．Under federal law，the credit card holder is only responsible for the first US $ 50 in fraudulent(欺诈的) purchases in cases of theft or loss.However，debit card users are responsible for the first US $ 500.
SallieMae found some good news in the fact that two thirds of students had discussed credit issues with their parents，but 84 percent said they needed more information.Those who didn’t get any guidance were more likely to be surprised when they found out how much they owed.
While credit cards offer the easiest access to money，they make it easy to live outside your means.Less than a fifth of students surveyed paid off their balance every month，and carrying a balance brings finance charges，sometimes at a very high interest rates.
SallieMae found that almost 40 percent of students chose their first credit card based on direct mail，which is probably why students get credit card offers in the mail.But when the credit card offers flow in，be sure that you read the fine print.Offers of low or no interest rates can disappear，leaving you a debt that climbs beyond your ability to pay it off.
6．What does the first paragraph imply?
A．Most of the senior students are shocked to see how much they owed.
B．Students can only take out loans from credit cards.
C．Most of students’ loans come from credit cards.
D．Credit cards have a bad effect on college students.
7．The underlined part “come in handy” in the third paragraph probably means“________”．
A．bring trouble B．make mistakes
C．be important
D．be useful
8．According to SallieMae，what is the possible reason why students get so many credit card offers in the mail?
A．Many students’ first credit card is based on direct mail.
B．It costs the banks little to mail out credit cards.
C．Students don’t like to go to the bank to open a credit card account.
D．Banks have no other way to let students use their credit cards.
9．What is the theme of the third paragraph?
A．The advantages of using debit cards.
B．The similarities between credit cards and debit cards.
C．The advantages of using credit cards.
D．Credit cards are the most convenient form of payment.
10．According to SallieMae，how many students had not discussed credit issues with their parents?
A．1/3.
B．2/3.
C．1/4.
D．3/4.

(2024·衡阳八中高三月考)We know that in many cases things aren’t personal，but we tend to think that things are about us，whether good or bad.For instance，when your friends go on a night out without inviting you，you probably get upset and end up shouting at them.If you tend to take things so personally，then this will be upsetting you and damaging your self－respect—and it might also be putting unnecessary stress on your relationships.So it’s important for us to take some steps to stop taking things so personally.
Firstly，assess the situation more logically.Don’t give in to your immediate emotional reaction—rather take a step back and think about what has happened.For instance，if you’re upset because you weren’t invited to an event，then think it like this: Was it an event that they maybe thought you wouldn’t be interested in? Or was it an event that perhaps they didn’t think you could make? When you step back and stop being egocentric(以自我为中心)，then you’ll easily see many other possible reasons for your not being invited.
