　　To Curb Spending?

　　The monthly expenditures of college students have been on the rise in the past few years. Some argue that if the students earn the money themselves, how they spend it is none of other people’s business, and after all, the general living standard keeps rising. However, the fact is that most students live on the money their parents give them. The lure of a more comfortable and fashionable lifestyle-one with name brand clothing, mobile phones, MP3, and dining out or going to bars with a girlfriend-makes many to be frequent borrowers.

　　In my opinion, young students are sensitive to fashions and new trends, thus they easily found it impossible to make ends meet and run into debt. When a student’s spending steps beyond the boundaries of daily necessities, it becomes a kind of waste. Furthermore, widespread extravagant spending on the campus could have a bad influence on people’s values. But many students see it as a common practice and not a fault. Though everyone has the right to enjoy a comfortable life, campus is a place for study. So just think twice before you sign a bill.

　　Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

　　1. Y 文章第二段指出“在人生的黃金時(shí)期有持續(xù)的空余時(shí)間事實(shí)上是一次獨(dú)特的機(jī)會(huì)，可以讓你專心從事志愿工作，或繼續(xù)深造。”在后面的段落里作者分別舉例說(shuō)明失業(yè)可以給人帶來(lái)其它方面的收獲。因此可以得出結(jié)論，失業(yè)并不完全是件壞事。

　　2. N 標(biāo)題Community Involvement第一段最后一句話中的obsess一詞意思為“困擾”，可以看出Perez并不愿意從事家務(wù)勞動(dòng)。另外根據(jù)該標(biāo)題中第二段也可得出此結(jié)論。

　　3. N 根據(jù)文章標(biāo)題Community Involvement中第三段的最后一句話“我決定不再自怨自艾，出去做些有意義的事情”，可以看出她也曾在失業(yè)期間十分失落。

　　4. NG 題目中指出Lisa Perez在得到新工作后后悔沒(méi)有早點(diǎn)做義務(wù)工作，而這一點(diǎn)在文章中并沒(méi)有提到。文章標(biāo)題Community Involvemet的最后一段只提到Perez決定不管以后的工作多么繁忙，她也會(huì)抽出時(shí)間從事義務(wù)工作。
