I. Read the passage and then choose the correct answers. (1. 25p)<br />
When David Murphy and his wife Lucy won a million dollars in the lottery, they<br />
didn’t leave their jobs as teachers in the local high school. They loved teaching, even<br />
though they didn’t earn much.<br />
The first thing they did was to pay all the money they owed on their credit cards. Next,<br />
they bought a lot of things they couldn’t afford before, like expensive clothes, a new car,<br />
and a large house. The couple also lent quite a bit of money to their family and friends,<br />
but they never asked these people to pay it back. Then, they spent thousands of dollars on<br />
a trip to Europe with their friends. Well, as you can imagine, after about a year, most of<br />
the money was gone. They were almost back where they started.<br />
But David and Lucy don’t think they wasted the money. They paid all their debts, had<br />
a good time, and helped a lot of people. However, if they win the lottery again, they will<br />
save some money first and spend it little by little later.<br />
