• 2．My daughter Kelly is a cautious person．She needs to warm up to situations，and is hesitant to try new things．But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence．This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team．This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels．And this year she completed her first kids' triathlon （三項(xiàng)全能）．
     On Saturday，with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son's birthday party later in the day，we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon．We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her，we got all the equipment she'd need，and we kept talking about the race．But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn，she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times．She was nervous but trying to keep it together．
     And then it was her turn．From the second she jumped into the water，my heart soared．My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen．She dominated that swim，crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face．
     I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life．It wasn't because she did a sport or anything like that．It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before．
     I kept looking at her with smile．She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day．I won the chance to see my girl shine．

• 3．Are you planning to eat out tonight or are you going to stay in to save the pennies（省錢(qián)）？A meal out at a good restaurant or even a pizzeria can cost you a small fortune，so cooking for yourself makes financial sense．But with the rise in food prices，it's important to be a wise shopper to keep your food bill in check．
     These days our supermarket shelves are packed with tempting food items，from the daily staples，like bread and milk，to the exotic，like mangoes and kiwifruits（獼猴桃）．There's also the option of buying ready meals - convenient food that comes at a price．However，if you're feeling hard up（拮據(jù)），there are things you can do to make the money you spend on food go further．
     According to the BBC Food website，it's all about changing your habits．It claims that cooking fulfilling and tasty meals on a budget is easy．It suggests a number of "tricks" such as using cheaper cuts of meat， "choose small amounts of meat with less expensive proteins" and "transform small quantities of leftovers into a heavy meal"．
     A favorite entertainment of mine to help when money is tight is to stock up on items that are on special offer - such as BOGOF deals （Buy one，get one free）．However，this is more of a problem when it comes to perishable（易腐爛的） items like fresh fruit and vegetables．In the UK，about 39% of household food waste is fruit and veg．So it's a good idea not to stock up on too much of these things．Store them carefully and make the most of them in all your recipes．
     Food waste is a big problem generally，so shopping carefully can also reduce the amount we throw away．And in Edinburgh in Scotland，it's possible to reduce waste and not break the bank by visiting a recycled food shop，which has been set up to prevent extra food from shops ending up in the bins（垃圾桶）．
     Of course，the biggest thing you can do to help your cash flow is to cut back on take-away coffees and lunches．
     Cooking your own meals is usually healthier for you and your finances．
  
  （1）According to the author，which of the following ways cost the least money？

  
  A．To have meals at a good restaurant．
  B．To cook meals for yourself at home．
  C．To buy exotic fruit and vegetables．
  D．To buy ready meals or convenient food．
  （2）What does the author usually do to save the expenses on food？

  
  A．He chooses small amounts of meat with expensive proteins．
  B．He transforms large quantities of leftovers into a heavy meal．
  C．He stocks up on items of special offer - such as BOGOF deals．
  D．He makes all the perishable fruit and vegetables in all his recipes．
  （3）How do some people reduce food waste in the UK？

  
  A．They often visits recycled food shops．
  B．They store most of their food carefully．
  C．They buy take-away coffees and lunches．
  D．They only throw away the perishable food．
  （4）Which one can be the best title of this passage？

  
  A．Ways to Cook Tasty Meals at Home
  B．Ways to Cut Daily Expenses on Meals
  C．Ways to Buy Food in the Supermarket
  D．Ways to Store Fresh Fruit and Vegetables
