A British shopper，Emma Mumford，who was named "the Coupon （優(yōu)惠券） Queen" has spent just ￡350 on a luxury （奢侈） Christmas for her and her family-but got ￡2，500 worth of food，drink and presents thanks to coupons and offers．
   Ms Mumford is a so-called "extreme couponer" and spends hours hunting out the best deals and bargains．She has been preparing for this Christmas since the end of the last one．Ms Mumford made the huge savings by checking price comparison websites and as a result collected more presents than she needed for Christmas．After sorting out gifts for all of her family，she has even been able to donate ￡1，000 worth of presents to her local hospital．
   "It has been so nice to have Christmas sorted and not having to worry about breaking the bank．I wanted to get high quality presents for my family and show that you can do it without spending a fortune．There is a misconception that everyone who does couponing only gets value products but through my careful shopping I have managed to purchase designer perfumes （香水），a high-end coffee machine．" she explained．
   She said "What started as a hobby to help me save money has turned into my life and I am able to run a business helping people save money．I know what it feels like to struggle as my ex-partner had a lot of debt which I took on for him．We were in a poor situation where every penny counted．That's what really inspired me．"
   She has now turned her bargain-hunting addiction into a business where she searches for the best deals and offers tips to the general public through video blogging and her Facebook Page．
   "I try and show people that it is just a little bit of work in the beginning but it will eventually pay off．One of the best things to do is just to be a bit forward thinking and save throughout the year．"

  • 1．Born in 1928 in Nanjing，Jiangsu，Yu Guangzhong，who spent his younger days on the Chinese mainland before moving to Taiwan in his 20s，passed away on Dec 14，2017．Nostalgia （《鄉(xiāng)愁》）-which Yu wrote in his 40s to voice his homesickness for his childhood motherland-became his most well-known work，since it resonated （共鳴）with many people who were far away from home．The poem appeared in Chinese school textbooks and was adapted into songs．
       However，the fact that Nostalgia became so famous also disturbed Yu because among the over l，000 poems that he'd written，Nostalgia seemed to be the only one that the public ever talked about and appreciated．
       "I'd like to think of Nostalgia as my business card，but unfortunately it got too big that it kept people from seeing the real me，" Yu once said，according to China Youth Daily．
       Indeed，writing poems is only one of Yu's many talents．Great Chinese writer Liang Shiqiu（1903-1987）once spoke of Yu， "He writes poems with his right hand and prose （散文） with his left．There is hardly anyone who matches his achievements at the time．"
       Yu was also a translator．Yu spoke French，German，Spanish，Italian and Russian，and published 13 translation collections．
       And he used his talents well．He spent his whole life working，even in his 80s．Yu said that whenever people asked whether he still kept the habit of writing up，he would always answer， "Why don't you ask me if I'm still breathing？"
       To him，writing was an inseparable （不可分割的） part of life that shouldn't be affected by age or anything else．
       Now that Yu has taken his last breath，his writing career has finally been put to rest．But the many books he wrote and translated will continue to carry the nostalgia people have for him．

    （1）How old was Yu Guangzhong when he died？

    A．86．
    B．87．
    C．88．
    D．89．
    （2）How did Liang Shiqiu like Yu Guangzhong？

    A．He spoke hardly of Yu Guangzhong．
    B．He thought highly of Yu Guangzhong．
    C．He was indifferent to Yu Guangzhong．
    D．He was very friendly to Yu Guangzhong
    （3）Which of the following does not describe Yu Guangzhong？

    A．A poet．
    B．A writer．
    C．A thinker．
    D．A translator
    （4）What can we infer from the last three paragraphs？

    A．Nostalgia is important for him in his life．
    B．Writing is as important as translation．
    C．Writing is the most important part in his life．
    D．His talents are the most important in his writing．
