James shook his money box again.
Nothing! He carefully counted the coins that lay on the bed. All that he had was $24.52 (about 153 yuan). The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! How on earth (究竟) was he going to get the rest of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was hard to hang out with people when you were the only one without a bicycle. He thought about what he could do. There was no point asking his parents, for he knew they had no extra money.
There was only one way to get money, and that was to earn (挣) it. He would have to find a job. He decided to ask Mr Clay for advice.
“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr Clay. “You see, my windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”
That was the beginning of James’ part-time job.
For the next three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He took dogs for walks, cleaned out cupboards and repaired books.
The day finally came when James counted his money and found $ 94.32. He wasted no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode home proudly, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard working for the money, but James knew that he valued (珍惜) his bicycle far more because he had bought it with his own money. He had achieved what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.
Why didn’t James ask his parents for help?

In order to buy a bicycle, James           . 

James did the following jobs EXCEPT           .

How much money did James earn?

What does the writer want to tell us?

With more and more cars on the road, the traffic jam will happen. How do we see it and how can we solve the problem?
We know that the traffic jam happens in many places, especially in big cities. What are reasons for the problem? On one hand, some people think that they should have a car when they have enough money, and then it’s easy to go out and they can feel comfortable. On the other hand, a growing number of people hope to use their cars to show off (炫耀). What’s more, years of research has shown that one of other reasons for the traffic jam is the driving habit. For example, many young people enjoy driving very fast, so they can feel excited. At last, most of them hardly care about the speed rules.
Many governments are working at how to make the traffic better. In my opinion, firstly, the governments should educate those people who have cars or plan to buy cars. The governments must make them know that the traffic jam is very serious, and set up a much more perfect traffic system to solve the traffic pressure.
What does the underlined word “jam” mean in Chinese?

Why is the traffic jam getting more and more serious?

Which of the following is NOT true?

What should the governments do to make the traffic better?

What does the passage mainly talk about?

What to go on holiday, but don’t have enough money for luxury (豪华的) hotels and expensive trips? Backpacking might be right up your street.
Backpacking is a very cheap kind of travel. European and American students and young adults who may not have all that much money often do it. It is called backpacking because, instead of using a suitcase (手提箱), people put all their things in a large backpack. A backpack sits on your back, and you pack all your clothes inside.
The most popular places for backpacking are Southeast Asia and South America. These countries aren’t very expensive, and are also very hot for most of the year. India and Australia are also very popular. In 2002, over 400,000 backpackers hit Australia. Sometimes, backpacking can be dangerous. A British backpacker was recently shot dead at a beach party in Thailand, and every year similar things happen.
Backpacking, in fact, is much more than a holiday—for young people in Europe, it is seen as a way of learning about the world.
Backpackers often travel alone for many months, as this is seen as more of an adventure and challenge. Beyond finding new words, backpacking, people say, is all about “finding yourself”.
Is backpacking an expensive kind of travel?
                                                                                    
Why is it called backpacking?
