Everybody wants a new start for a new school year. So, students often go back-to-school shopping. They buy school things and shoes. But, the story is not so easy.
Mum, I want this pair of shoes!
Dear! Those are 900 yuan! That is too 16 !
But all the boys in my class wear this brand (牌子)!
So the real story is: Kids _17 to catch up with school fashion.
Chinese students __18 uniforms at school. Parents think all the kids look the same, but kids know the differences. The rich kids wear amazing watches, ride good 19 and use cool pencil cases. They show off their expensive things to 20 kids. Then everyone else wants them too. For example, some rich kids use a pencil box that _21_1,000 yuan! It not only holds pencils, but also has a thermometer (温度计), a pass (指南针), a music box and even games in it! But think about it. Do you really need 22 a special pencil box? What can you do with a pass or a thermometer in class? They only distract (分散注意) you.
As for these rich kids, they are not rich at all. 23__ parents buy them all their school things. They may have an advantage now, but it won’t last forever. If you want to show off 24 money you have, you have to make it yourself first. So, study hard. You will get a great job in the future.
Parents should also learn 25 to refuse their kids’ demands (要求). They should tell their kids: as students, what is really important is not school fashion but good school grades.

解析：
【小题1】根据“900yuan”可知，鞋子太贵了。expensive“昂贵的”；cheap“便宜的”；ugly“丑陋的”。故选A。
【小题1】真实情况的是：孩子们都想追逐时尚、潮流。hate“讨厌”；give up“放弃”，后加doing；want“想要”。故选C。
【小题1】考查“穿”的用法。put on表示“穿”的动作；take off“脱下”； buy“买”；wear表示“穿”的状态。中国学生都穿校服。故选D。
【小题1】ride“骑”，bicycles“自行车”。故选B。
【小题1】another泛指另一个；the other“两者中的另一个”；other加复数名词表示“另一些......”。故选D。
【小题1】考查“花费”。pay和spend的主语是人；cost指花钱；take是花时间；故选B。
【小题1】so后加形容词或副词；such加名词，构成固定句型such a ...。故选B。
【小题1】此处说的是these rich kids，故应该用形容词性物主代词their来代指他们。故选C。
【小题1】money不可数，故用much修饰。How much“多少”。故选B。
【小题1】父母也应该学会如何拒绝孩子的不合理的要求。故选A。
