It is a good idea to make a list (清单) before you go shopping. Some people do not like to make a shopping list because it takes time. However, there are many reasons why you should make one.
Firstly, a shopping list helps you to save time. When you write the list, you should put the things in different groups. For example, you can write down all the fruit and vegetables in one column (栏). In the next column, you can write down all the meat. Do the same for other things. Keeping your list organized will help you shop faster.
Secondly, a shopping list helps you not to forget anything. You would not want to get home from the store and find you didn't buy all the things you needed. A shopping list helps you to remember everything you want to buy.
A shopping list can also help you to save money. Without a list you might not remember if you have enough milk at home. You might buy the milk as you think you don't have any. When you get home, you would see you already have a full bottle of milk. Then the extra (额外的) milk might go to waste. If you make a list, you will not buy the things you do not need.
Although it will take you a few minutes to write out a shopping list, it is worth (值得) your time.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
( )31. How does the writer start the text
A. By telling a story.
B. By asking a question.
C. By providing an example.
D. By giving an opinion.
( )32. If we want to buy “shirts”， which column should we write it in according to Paragraph 2
A. Fruit. B. Clothes.
C. Vegetables. D. Meat.
( )33. Which one is NOT the reason to make a shopping list
A. Improving our life.
B. Saving our time.
C. Saving our money.
D. Remembering what to buy.
( )34. What's the structure of the text？(P＝Paragraph)
( )35. What's the best title for the text

Hello, everyone! My name is Li Hua. Nowadays, people care more about our grades. In fact, good behavior is as important as good grades. However, some bad behavior can be seen around us. For example, some students throw rubbish everywhere, which makes the environment worse and worse. Some students are always shouting back angrily to their parents. Gradually the relations between them have become difficult.
How can we behave well First, I think we should be polite and kind to others. Be ready to help others in need. Second, try to be honest and keep promises. Third, the most important thing is to follow the rules at school or in public.
Let's pull together and take action from now on.
I believe we'll be better students as long as we behave ourselves.
That's all. Thanks for listening!
