To take advantage of the deepest discounts, combine coupons (优惠券) from sponsoring brands, such as Dole, Green Giant and Tyson Foods, with grocery store sales. Plus, look for printable savings on Coupons. com and EasyHomeM. Brands participating in National Frozen Food Month will offer more than 180, 000 coupons that make frozen food among the best things to buy in March.Boxed chocolatesIf you desire to give a gift to a friend in March, consider chocolate. Two minor holidays in March provide the perfect excuse: National Chocolate Caramel Day on March 19 and National Chocolate-Covered Raisin Day on March 24. You can discover chocolate deals online as well as in stores. Head to sites like RetailMeN to find discount coupons for boxed chocolate savings of 10 percent or more.New carsWith the latest car models filling dealers lots, youll have a hard time finding discounted models from the year before. Car dealerships are less motivated to offer steep discounts from March through May. Instead, plan to buy your car during the fall or winter. You should also research the auto you want at TrueCar before heading for the dealership. The site offers information on what people in your area paid for vehicles equipped with the options you want.Spring clothingWhen warm weather makes you want to head outdoors, resist the urge to do so wearing the latest fashions. You wont find March deals on swimsuits, Easter dresses or other spring items. To find discounts on clothes of this spring, hold off until Memorial Day weekend.

BMy teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?”Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher may have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time.“Oh,”I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? I didnt even get an allowance. “My father is going to have a fit.”I thought. I didnt want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I was pulled it skyward. I told the truth. “I did it.”It was hard enough to say what I had.My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher to strike a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.“I know how you like bird,”she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden face. “Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now. Its time we got a new one for the school anyway. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.”I couldnt believe it! I wasnt being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide-the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo forever.4. From the story, we can learn that the boy _.A. didnt break the window on purposeB. lacked the strength to admit his guiltC. tried to think about what he had doneD. didnt know what the teacher would find out5.

Do you want to work indoors or outdoors, directly serve people in need or serve people behind the scenes? Every year, thousands of people in the west offer volunteer service. Volunteering greatly strengthens the community because it helps the old, the young, the weak, the sick, and the disabled and the injured to solve problems.Volunteers usually help in many different ways. They may give people advice, offer friendship to the young, drive the elderly to church (if up to the driving age), advise kids against drugs(毒品), work as assistants in schools or nursing homes, raise funds, plant trees, help out in local libraries and do many other things. Volunteering can be a few hours a week or a few hours a month. Anybody who wants to serve people in need can become a volunteer.In fact, the art of volunteering is a process（过程） of both giving and receiving. Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people, make new friends and mix with people from all walks of life. Volunteering is an excellent way to experiment and try out new techniques and skills, discover your individual（个人的） talents and explore career choice. Being a volunteer will take you on a wonderful journey and help you learn more than what you can get from books.8. As a volunteer, only when you grow old enough can you _.A. plant trees on hills B. give advice to othersC. drive the elderly to church D. help out in local libraries9.

Whats the best title of the passage?A. Volunteer Service in the West B. How to Hunt for Jobs C. How to Make Friends D. How to Work with AnimalsDCheating(作弊) can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, its not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who the true winners of a game were.Many people like the action of cheating. In their opinion, it makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesnt solve the problem of not knowing the material and it wont help on the next test-unless the person cheats again.Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they shouldnt get that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because theyre busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they cant pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isnt a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before the day and couldnt study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you dont have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.12. The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _.A. it is unfair to other people. B. it does harm to their health.C. teachers should punish them. D. teachers shouldnt stop them at once.13. Many people like cheating because they think _.A. the material in the test is very difficult.B. they want to do better than the others.C. cheating can make hard things seem very easy.D. they have little time to study their lessons.14.

We can learn from the passage _.A. cheaters are often thought highly of B. people show no respect for those who cheat.C. parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble. D. kids cheat in the test because of swim practice.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。选项中有两处为多余选项。Basic first aid is a very valuable skill to have when going on a camping trip. 16 Cuts.
