So, working hard to save money for a house might not be such a good idea      it means spending less time with your families and friends.
And dozens of studies show that people get more happiness from buying      than material things. Experimental purchases—such as trips ,concerts and special meals –are more   connected to our sense of self.
And experiences come with one more   . They tend to bring us     to other people , but more often, material things are enjoyed     .So social contacts are important to      mental and physical health.

When you don’t have anything planned for the day or it’s rainy outside and your children are stuck in the house, why not sit around and tell them riddles? Telling riddles will make your family laugh and sometimes even scratch their heads, trying to figure out what the answer is.
Riddles have been a pastime for centuries. Not only have riddles been something for passing the time, but they have also been used to pass on secret information during the Second World War. Even the ancient Greeks used riddles. They would tell riddles at parties and whoever was the first to get them right would receive prize.
Most riddles use words that have double meanings or share the same sound like “hear” and “here”. So in order to get the riddle, you will have to do some creative thinking and think of all the possibilities of different words. The difficulty of figuring out the riddle is based on the riddle itself.

If you would like to look somewhere else then you could look at your local bookstore, where you will be able to find many different books with thousands of riddles to choose from. You can even find websites and books that will tell you how to write your own riddles.
After you have found some resources that have different riddles, you will need to read through them to find the right ones for you and your family: You will also need to make sure that your kids will have a chance to figure out the answers.

You and your friends are settling into your seats. The new Spider-Man movie is about to start and you’ve got the snacks: soda and popcorn. Food is part of what makes the movies fun.
Just as the lights go out, you catch a slight smell of … tuna fish?! You turn your head, searching for the source. Then you spot him: A couple rows back, some guy is enjoying a tuna fish sandwich. How’d he get that in here? You wonder. Then you remember how much you paid for your snacks.
What invites the unwelcome outside food is probably the price. Why pay $ 5 for a bag of M&Ms when you can get them for a dollar at the corner store?
Earlier this year, a Michigan man decided to fight for his right to snack. Joshua Thompson is using his local theater after it banned outside food. He argues the ban breaks a Michigan law that prevents businesses from charging extremely high prices. However, most legal experts believe Thompson has little chance of winning his case, though he does have a point: 85 cents out of a dollar of treats a movie theater sells is pure profit(纯利).
The truth is that movie theaters are more in the snack business than the movie business. A huge part of the ticket income goes to the Hollywood studio. This makes sense, since the studios have to pay the costs of movie production and advertising. But that often doesn’t leave much cash for the theater, which also has its own running costs. If customers stopped buying food, owners would have to raise ticket prices even higher.
Of course, there’s another reason to think twice before bringing food into the movies: It’s against the rules. Breaking those rules can have unpleasant consequences too. Some theaters will kick you out if they catch you. Even without the threat of punishment, we should follow rules all the time------out of respect.
Here’s a good idea: Eat before the movie.
【小题1】What is the topic of the text?

A.The pleasure of enjoying snacks.
B.A Michigan man’s fight for his right.
C.Movie theaters’ ban on outside food.
D.Bad manners in movie theaters.
【小题2】What do we know about Joshua Thompson?
A.He broke a Michigan law.
B.He is likely to lose the case.
C.He thinks cinema tickets are too expensive.
D.He was forbidden to have snacks at the theaters.
【小题3】In Paragraph 5, the author mainly explains _________.
A.how movie studios work with movie theaters
B.how movie theaters reduce their operating costs
C.why Hollywood studios must pay high costs
D.why snack sales are important to movie theaters
【小题4】How does the author feel about bringing outside food into the cinema?
A.It is unacceptable. B.It is convenient.
C.It is great fun. D.It is lawful..

No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting.
For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if the weather is fine, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.
Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.
【小题1】Which is true about weather forecasting?

A.Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like.
B.Weather forecasting is a report about the weather.
C.Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain.
D.People can change the weather forecasting.
【小题2】 Which of the following can be used here to replace the underlined phrase “on the way”?
A.continuingB.reducing.
C.coming.D.disappearing.
【小题3】Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?
A.Some birds fly high.
B.A rainbow appears in the morning.
C.The sunset is mostly red in colour.
D.Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.
【小题4】The best title of the passage is _______.
