Alice is a college student and in her internship(實(shí)習(xí)期)now. Last month, she bought a scarf which she really liked. It cost her more than 50 dollars. It’s not cheap, but it made her happy, because she had dreamed of having one for a long time.
Every morning, when she puts on her new scarf, she feels so happy that it seems the whole day is full of hope. Alice has been used to rewarding (獎(jiǎng)勵(lì))herself through shopping. This hobby also drives her to work hard and makes her life keep getting better.
But her mother, Mrs. Miller thinks quite differently. When Mrs. Miller knew the price of Alice’s new scarf, they started to argue with each other and the argument (爭(zhēng)執(zhí))lasted for almost a whole day. Her mother thought that she shouldn't spend so much money on it, while Alice thought her mother didn't understand her at all.
But Alice didn't know that her mother’s life was very hard. When Mrs. Miller was very young, she could not find enough clothes to wear in winter. She needed to learn how to spend every penny(便士,貨幣單位)as if it were two so that she could survive(生存).
It ’ s just natural that two people can’t understand each other because they have different experiences. Then, how can we change the situation? Try to be patient with the people around you. Try to get to know them. And try to stand in their shoes. If Alice follows the advice,I think she will get on well with her mother.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,回答下列問(wèn)題。
1.How much did the scarf cost Alice?
2.How has Alice been used to rewarding herself?
3.When did Mrs. Miller start to argue with Alice?
4.Did Alice’s mother have an easy life when she was young?
5.How many pieces of advice does the writer give Alice?

Once upon a time,a hippo (河馬)lived in a river next to a big tree.
One day,a bird came and nested (筑巢)in the tree.The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy (羨慕)that he couldn’t think of anything else.Every day he would think why he wasn’t born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.
Finally,the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river,climb the tree and start singing.However,when he tried to climb the tree,it was very clear that the hippo didn’t have wings,nor claws to climb with.
