Fair Way
The Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos with the state prize. The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home. And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong on one of the score cards. A9 had been recorded as A7. They were not the state prize winner; Wobum High had won. "No one would have known," said Wobum’s instructor, Bob Doran. For Rota, it wasn't a difficult decision: "The prize wasn't ours to take."

Budget for Amusement
Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Magic Mountain, the State Fair, amusement parks ... All of these are great family destinations, yet the cost of the admission ticket alone can put a severe crimp in the family budget. Once at the park children are so tempted by the wide array of food and gift choices that a day intended for family fun can sometimes turn into an unpleasant nag fest. While it is a parent's job to say "no" at appropriate times, saying no during a special day intended for family togetherness can definitely diminish the fun for both adult and child.
When our children were in early elementary school we came up with a plan that took the "yes" and "no" spending decision out of our hands, and placed it into theirs.
We were off to Disneyland, and during previous visits our son would badger us for a treat each time we passed a vendor, or nagged us to buy souvenirs from the various shops. Before going to the amusement park we told our children how much we could afford to spend for the day. We then explained that we would be giving them each their share of the money, and it would be totally their decision how to spend it.The money would cover any of the day's food, beverages or souvenirs. If they wanted to spend the entire amount on frozen bananas, that was their choice.
To avoid the possibility of our children losing their money, we placed their funds in separate envelopes, and I offered to keep it for them. Whenever they wanted to buy something, they just needed to ask for the money.
It was interesting how differently our two children budgeted their portion. Our daughter, three years younger than her brother, was barely old enough to add, breezed through the day. At lunchtime she allotted money for her food and beverage, and managed to buy a snack and souvenirs. Our son, who usually found something he had to have at every comer, turned into a nervous miser. At lunchtime he wouldn't even splurge for a soda, and when he saw something he wanted to buy, he studied it until he decided he didn't need it.
By the end of the day our daughter had spent her share, and seemed quite pleased with the choices she'd made. Our son, who had spent very little, was suddenly frantic to buy something (anything) with his remaining cash. I felt a little sorry for him, because while my wife and I had an enjoyable day, free from the responsibility of monitoring our children's spending, his day was spent dealing with the consequences of his choices.
The author is concerned about ______
A.the fun for amusement
B.the spending responsibility
C.the great family destinations
D.the cost of the admission ticket

听力原文: We were sorry that we had to ask the young man to leave the job. It was not that he was unpopular with the other people in the office. Everyone liked him. Nor was it that he was incapable. He had plenty of ability. The problem was that so much of his work was unsatisfactory; it wasn't good enough. Sometimes he would leave a job unfinished, and never come back to complete it. Other times his writing would be so terrible that you couldn't read it. Or he might disappear from the office for an hour or so with no explanation of where he had been. Once or twice he sat unoccupied for a while, doing nothing at all, until someone noticed him and gave him some work. I suppose he feels that we have mistreated him, that we have not been fair to him. But I don't think we have misjudged him. We didn't make up our minds until we had given him every chance to show what he could do. However, I confess that it made me uncomfortable to have to tell him that he had lost his job. A person sent to us by an employment agency will replace him next week.
(23)
A.Because the other people in the office didn't like him.
B.Because he was unable to deal with the work.
C.Because he showed no interest in the job.
D.Because his work was not satisfactory.
