1.Does it seem like hotel costs just go up and up? It's true that they rise each year. Rates for rooms in 2019 are over15% more than2018. Here are some tips to help you make the best decision. Look for extras. The more services your rate includes, the more you can save your money. Make sure you use the facilities you will actually need, or you'll spend more than you need to. Common extras that can save you a lot are free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and kids eat free. So take advantage of them during your stay. Stay in hotels right outside the city center. If the costs for transportation won't be high, you can frequently get a good deal this way. You could also look into staying in the university district of a city. Hotels are more affordable (廉价的) , cheap eating places are plentiful(充足的) and public transportation is convenient. Go out to eat. Though room service sounds really great, prices for food on the hotel menu can be twice as much as you would pay for the same food at a restaurant. ** One advantage of staying in the university district is____. 选项： A:the friendly environment B:more entertainment activities C:easy access to the university library D:the convenient public transportation

5.Stopping Yelling At Your Kids Parenting is hard. If you're a parent, I'm sure that I don't need to tell you that our job is a tough one. When you're managing children, it can be difficult to remember that they are still learning. If you find you are yelling at your kids more often than you want to,here are some ways that can help you reduce the yelling. I've been working on this for the past few months and I have to say, it's been amazing for both the kids and me. If you are having an argument with your child, you need to make sure you both take the time to really listen. It gives both of you time to think and really listen to each other, which is important. Kids are more likely to listen to you if you listen to them! One of your biggest struggles is to remind yourself of appropriate expectations. You can't expect that your youngest acts as responsibly as your oldest. You should lower what you expect-taking into consideration things like their age-it can make a big difference. You should do your best to take a moment before yelling and take in a deep breath. It makes a world of difference for you. Instead of yelling, you'd better whisper. It can also help diffuse any situation by making things quieter, not louder. Besides, the more time you spend with your kids, the better you'll get at communicating with them. You're both more likely to understand each other. If your children aren't listening or it seems they only don't listen to you, you don't take it personally. You should remind yourself that your kids are still learning and they're not going to be perfect.22.（）is very important when there is an argument between the kid and the parent. 选项： A:Yelling at each other B:Listening to each other C:Whispering to each other

Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you are saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert,then probably keep your money somewhere in your room.
If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip,where would you save your money?
One place to save money is the bank.Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank（猪形储蓄罐）, one year later you'll still have the same amount of money you put in?If you put your money in a savings account,one year later,you'll have more money than you put in.Why?
When you keep your money in a bank,your money earns interest.Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money.The bank uses your money(and the money of other people,too)to loan money to people and businesses.
