暑假過(guò)后，新初三生們迎來(lái)了初中最重要的一年——初三。為方便2013年中考考生及家長(zhǎng)查詢相關(guān)信息，出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)中考頻道特別搜集匯總了中考英語(yǔ)記誦文章以供參考：
    Money Talks
    Ben Fix used to be a real estate agent.He got rich by selling worthless farmland to people from the city who didn't know what they were buying.He was very good at fooling the public.Mr.Fix used the money he got from selling farmland to buy an old apartment building in the city.Most of the people who lived in the building had low incomes and were used to paying low rents.Mr.Fix wanted to make a few minor improvements and then charge high rents,but first he had to get rid of the old tenants.He chose to do this by making life miserable for everyone in the building.He drew up a long list of unnecessary rules and insisted that everyone obey them.Anyone who broke the rules had to move out of the building.
    Mr.Fix was capable of doing anything to get money.At times he even cut off the electricity and said he was saving energy.
    The tenants complained but it was no use.Mr.Fix always told the tenants to leave if they weren't happy.After a while they got tired of living under these conditions and started moving out.Mr.Fix almost succeeded in driving everyone out of the building,but he didn't count on the opposition he got from one of his tenants,an old lady named Olive Grove.She wouldn't give up without a fight and even went to tell the story to the newspaper.

    本菲克斯過(guò)去是一個(gè)房地產(chǎn)經(jīng)紀(jì)人。他通過(guò)將無(wú)任何價(jià)值的農(nóng)田賣給那些不知實(shí)情的城市人而發(fā)財(cái)。他很善于愚弄大眾。菲克斯先生用出售農(nóng)田賺的錢(qián)買(mǎi)了一幢城里的舊公寓。住在公寓里的人大都收入很低，而且習(xí)慣于交低租金。菲克斯先生想做些細(xì)微的改進(jìn)，然后收取高租金，但首先他必須趕走舊房客。他決定通過(guò)把房客的生活弄的過(guò)不下去的辦法來(lái)達(dá)到目的。他制定了許多不必要的規(guī)定，而且堅(jiān)決要求每個(gè)人都要遵守。違反了規(guī)定的人必須搬出公寓。
    任何賺錢(qián)的事菲克斯先生都會(huì)去做。有時(shí)他甚至斷電，說(shuō)自己是在節(jié)約能源。房客們的抱怨都無(wú)濟(jì)于事。菲克斯先生告訴他們，如果不高興就搬走好了。過(guò)了一段時(shí)間，房客們厭倦了這樣的生活，開(kāi)始搬出。菲克斯先生幾乎成功地趕走了公寓里的所有人，但他沒(méi)有預(yù)料到他會(huì)遭到其中的一位房客，名叫奧利夫格羅夫的老太太的抵制。她不想就此束手就擒，于是她就向報(bào)紙投訴。
