Our adventure began with a great start. By 9 a.m., my wife, Ruth, had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn’t even know we had in the garden. I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years. I read and returned the neighbor’s newspaper before he woke up. Total spending on the first day: $0.

　　As days turned into weeks, we became so proficient（熟练的）at living frugally. We started riding our bikes to save gas. My child’s finger painting was recycled as gift wrap for the homemade presents. We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs.

　　In the end, we saved more than $2000 by not spending for a month. When we began, I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buy a lot of things in the supermarket, then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies.

　　1. We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon, the family _________.

　　A. had had higher income

　　B. had had a good habit of saving money

　　C. had often spent money without thinking much

　　D. hadn’t realized they would have met financial problems

　　2. How many things were mentioned about the things the family did to save on the first day of the “30 days”?

　　A. Two

　　B. Three
