Then the father explained, “People call this ‘Echo’, but really this is life. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is just a reflection (反映) of what we have done. If you want more love in the world, have more love in your heart. If you want to be successful, work hard. This can be used in everything in life.

How much time do you spend buying things? In the future, how much time will you spend in movie theaters, at shopping malls, or at convenience stores? When you add it all up, you will probably see you spend a lot of your life consuming（消费）things. Consuming products is ‎ not bad. However, if we spend too much time doing it, we should look at it carefully.‎ Imagine(想象）that you have a week off from school. However, in this week, you cannot spend any money ----- no shopping, no movies, no eating out. How would you spend your time? What things would bring you happiness?

Or you might spend time with your family.‎ When we look back, it is likely that non-consuming experiences(经历) like these will be our most important memories(记忆). Why? Non-consuming activities are active. They don’t come in a package(包裹). You make the experience yourself. For example, each person who reads to a child will have a different experience. The experience changes with the reader, the child, and the book. However, if you watch a movie with a friend, you will each have a packaged experience. ‎ Now we have lots of such packaged experiences. We feel that we must consume because we believe that buying is doing. However, we can start a personal revolution(变革) against consumerism. How? By consuming less. We can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction. Then we can organize(组织) our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.‎ ‎( ) 51. If consuming products takes too much time, we should ________.‎ A. spend less money 　 B. think about it carefully ‎　 C. organize our things 　 D. go to the convenience stores ‎ ‎( ) 52. According to the passage, the writer believes that ________.‎ A. we can say no to consumerism by consuming less ‎　 B. buying things can bring us the greatest satisfaction ‎　 C. the environment seldom influences our shopping choices ‎　 D. consuming experiences will be our most important memories ‎( ) 53. The words “those kinds of experiences” in the last sentences means ________.‎ ‎ A. consuming experiences B. Packaged experiences C. Non-consuming experiences D. Experiences that bring us great satisfaction ‎( ) 54. What is the writer’s main purpose(目的) in writing this passage?‎ ‎　 A. To tell why people need shopping.　 ‎ B. To ask people to have more active experiences.‎ ‎　 C. To introduce some ways of enjoying our spare time.‎ ‎　 D. To share his personal experience in consuming products.‎ ‎( ) 55. Which may be the best title of this article?‎ ‎ A. Buying is doing? B. How to consume less B. Consume experiences D. How can we spend our life?‎ 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共45分）‎ 五、词汇（本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ A.请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。‎ ‎56. It’s useless to worry about the ____________ (结果) of the test.
