Before Louis the Eleventh became king, he used to visiting a peasant where garden produced excellent fruit. After he takes office, the peasant brought him as a present a very large apple which had grown in his garden. The king, remembering the pleasant times that he had spent under the old man’s roof, gave him a thousand of crowns(25便士). The lord of the village, heard of this, thought that if one who gave a common apple received so large a reward, one giving a really valuable present would receive a much large reward. He, however, offered a splendid horse. The king accepted it and thinking of a big apple, said, “This cost me a lot of money; I now give to you in return for your horse.”
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them more pocket money. Why do their parents just give them a certain amount? __1.__
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. __2.__ Some children get weekly pocket money. Others get monthly pocket money.
First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time. __3._
In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that. _4.__
Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. _5.__ Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children.
A. One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money.
B. Some children are good at managing their pocket money.
C. Because helping at home is a normal part of family life.
D. By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget.
E. Learning how to make money is very important for every child.
F. They can save it for future use.
G. Timing is another consideration.
With petroleum reserve（石油储量）decreasing, the search is on to replace gas with a cleaner, greener alternative. Though much eco-talk has centered on biofuels from corn and soybeans, the biofuel that looks more likely to replace petroleum comes from a most unlikely source: algae（藻类）.
Algae, like corn, soybeans, and other crops, grow via photosynthesis（光合作用）and can be processed into fuel oil. However, they yield 30 times more energy than land crops such as soybeans, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Many algae species also can grow in saltwater and polluted water—while corn and soy require arable(适于耕种的) land and fresh water that will be in short supply as the world’s population balloons.
“If you replaced all the diesel（柴油）in the U.S. with soy biodiesel, it would take half the land mass of the U.S. to grow those soybeans,” says Matt Caspari, chief executive of Aurora Biofuels, a Berkeley, Calif-based private firm that specializes in algae oil technology. On the other hand, the Energy Department says that if algae fuel replaced all the petroleum fuel in the United States, it would require only l5, 000 square miles, which is a few thousand miles larger than Maryland (12,407 squaree miles), the 42nd state in land area.
Another advantages: Because algae can be grown just about anywhere in a closed space, they’re being tested at several power plants across the nation as a carbon absorber. Smokestack emissions（烟囱排放物）can be pumped directly into the ponds, feeding the algae while keeping greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.
Although processing technology for algae fuel—also known as “oilgae” in some environmentalist circles —is improving, it’s still years away from reaching your local gas pump. “It’s just a question of cost, because no large-scale facilities have been built yet,” Caspari says.
1. The underlined word “yield” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_______”.
A. control B. require C. produce D. grow
2. Compared with corn and soybeans, algae_____.
A. may pollute water and soil B. can grow in poor conditions
C. provide much less energy D. need more special care
3.According to Paragraph 3, one of the advantages of algae fuel is that ____.
A. it can be used more widely B. it is easier to produce
C. it needs much less land D. it costs much less money
4.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Environmental Protection B. Biofuels from Corn and Soybeans
C. The False Hope of Biofuels D. A Promising Oil Alternative

It’s really true what people say about English politeness: it’s everywhere. When squeezing past someone in a narrow aisle, people say “sorry”. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you” rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of interacting (交往) with people.
People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customers and retail assistants in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one “thank you” in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.
Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized (强调) several times that none of their words were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This is also shown in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter (后者) are a bit tightfisted.
