I'm enjoying my staying in Canada．It is my first experience of being abroad，and I am trying to learn as（41）　　as possible．Classes here are much more fun and very different from classes in（42）　　．In China there are very few opportunities to practice （43）　　and listening．So although many Chinese students have good（44）　　，their speaking is not good．Studying English at Fern is much more practical．We actually（45）　　the language we are learning．I couldn't speak any English at all when I（46）　　here．Thankfully after about a month，things started getting（47）　　and I made friends and started to settle in （安家）．I am really（48）　　to learn English here and Fern is a very good language school．

I have always wanted to have a sister．In my Canadian host family my dream has（49）　　．On the frist day when I arrived，my host family welcomed（50）　　warmly．All the family members were（51）　　and helpful，and they made me feel at home at once．

My（52）　　，Joise，is very kind．She often explains their manners to me．Her mother explains ordinary things like housework．Together they（53）　　me study and understand Canada．Joise told me a（54）　　．Last year，she met a Chinese student on a plane．She said she felt sorry because she did not say （55）　　to the girl．

   I'm happy to live in Canada．I think it will be an important experience in my life．

Money can make you happy，only if you spend it in a clever way．

Buying a new car makes you happy．However，you will forget this happy feeling when the car gets old．But if you spend a week traveling．It's more possible that you'll remember the great experience，and you'll remember the feeling for a long time．A new study has found that spending money on experiences makes people happier than on material things．

   For material things，it's possible that you'll care about every little things．If you buy a nice pen，and someone else buys one with less money，it is possible that you may be unhappy because you spend more money．When it comes to experiences like trips，you won't think like that．If the experience is generally good，you will be happy with the price．

   Material things can be compared more easily．If you buy an MP3 and then see a more suitable one，you may regret buying the first one．However，if you have a nice dinner at one restaurant，and then learn about another better restaurant，you'll not regret the first meal．

   Material things can cause jealousy（嫉妒）．For example，if you buy a new toy and find that your friend has a better toy，you will feel unhappy．Instead，if you travel to a beautiful place，then no matter where your friends have gone，it won't make the memory of your trip less happy．

C．便宜的

D．高贵的

（2）According to the passage．if you buy a watch and then see a better one in a magazine，you may　　．

A．buy a better one

B．ask for your money back

C．throw the frist one away

D．regret buying the first one

（3）Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage？　　

A．Spending money in a clever way makes people happy．

B．People like traveling more than buying material things．

C．Material things may cause jealousy

D．People care about more things when they buy material things．

Years ago，I lived in a building in a large city．The building next door was only a few feet away from mine．There was a woman who lived there，whom I had never met，yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon，sewing or reading．

After several months had gone by，I began to notice that her window was dirty．Everything was unclear through the dirty window．I would say to myself，"I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window．It really looks terrible．"

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat，including washing the window on the inside．

Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning，I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest．What a surprise!Across the way，the woman sitting by her window was clearly seen．Her window was clean!

Then I began to understand it．I had been criticizing （批评） her dirty window，but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window．

That was quite an important lesson for me．How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart，through my own shortcomings（缺点）？

From then on，whenever I wanted to judge （判断） someone，I asked myself first，"Am I looking at him through my own dirty window？"Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see others'world more clearly．

D．one should look at others through his dirty window．

"Well，what luck，"smiled the man．"1.11dollars，the price of a miracle for your little brother．"
