Lidong came on November 8 this year. It is the Chinese word for one of the 24 solar terms (節(jié)氣). It means the beginning of winter.

As the weather gets colder and there is less sunlight, people are more likely to get sick. Adults in the US usually have two to four colds each year. Young children suffer from six to eight colds per year, especially in winter months, according to the American Lung Association. One of the best ways to keep healthy during winter is to stay warm.

There are many ways to stay warm. A living room should be around 18-21 C, and you can also use a hot water bottle or at least 16 C. blanket to keep warm while in bed. Getting plenty of exercise is always a good idea. Take a walk on a sunny afternoon, do a long distance run or skip rope. These things keep your blood moving and your metabolism (新陳代謝) fired up. Food gives us energy and helps to warm us from the inside. High-protein (高蛋白的) foods, like fish and meat, provide a lot of energy. Add some things to your winter dishes, such as ginger, pepper and garlic. These things can make you warm. A winter coat warms you up from the outside. Add several layers of thin clothing, for example, a shirt and a thin sweater, to stay even warmer. Clothes made from wool are usually very warm.

How to make winter days colorful? Is it too cold to play outside? Don’t worry. Here are some tips for having fun at home. Give it a try!

■ Enjoy a movie with your parents. There are a lot of choices, such as Spy Kids. You can also talk about the movie with your parents after it’s over.

■ Cook a meal with your parents. You can cook some simple dishes, such as scrambled eggs with tomato. You may need your mother’s help for the first time.

■ Clean your bedroom. You need to sweep the floor, tidy your desk and make your bed. By doing this, you really help your mother a lot.

■ Read your favorite book. Reading is not only helpful for your writing ability, but can also help to build your character.

Different types of maps have different uses. Tourist maps, for example, have signs to show places of interest in an area. When tourists read these maps, it is easy for them to find where to go and what to see in a place and it is easy for them to go and find their ways to these places.

Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long journeys. Different types of roads are given different numbers. For example, if you want to go to Wood Green, you just follow No. 621 Road and keep looking at the road signs.

Distribution maps (分布圖) use colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, where different languages are spoken, how many people live in an area, how cold and hot some places are, or whether a place is short of water.

Some maps, such as railway maps, use straight lines to show everything. This is easy for people to read. Trains are fast. People don't have to think about small places they go past. They just need to know the two ends of their trips.

1.Jim wants to visit some places of interest. Which map does he need most?

A. A road map. B. A tourist map.

C. A distribution map. D. A railway map.

2.How can you tell different roads on Road maps?

A. How to get to Germany.

B. How to plan a long journey.

C. Which place is short of water.

D. Where a famous museum is.

4.Why do railway maps use straight lines?

A. Because railways are straight.

科目:初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2015年北京市海淀區(qū)中考二模英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Being busy can become a way of life. Our lives are always filled with emails and text messages. They make us feel wanted and important, but in a tiring and empty way. Being busy has a dangerous allure(誘惑). If you are busy all the time, it’s hard to sit quietly with your thoughts or to really feel what you’re feeling. Whynot let everything become a choice — how we spend time, who we reply to and how much or little we write?

Many of us are busy becauseour self-worth goes up when people make demands(需求)on our time. Whydon’t we free ourselves from needing, or even wanting? Why don’t we make the best use of the time and space to be productive in a way that it best serves us? That may be consciously(主動(dòng)地)keeping ourselves not busy. In fact many great discoverieswere made by people who built white space into their day.

Imagine asking “How are you?” to one of the most successful people you know like Warren Buffet. I’ve never heard anyone at that level answer “busy” though most people believe they are.

What are they doing differently?

First, they aim to project an image that things are under control. Second, they actually have things under control. They’ve had excellent staff, implemented(實(shí)施)thoughtful processes and they spend time only on critical tasks that require their attention. They make high-level strategic decisions with a large effect.

It’s time to end the glory of being busy and spend time setting up processes that make sense, rather than simply working more hours. To do this, you need to change yourway of thinking. It’s cool to say you’re busy, but it’s better to be busy helping someone carry a stroller up the subway stairs or busy finishing a book.

How to free us from the trendof being busy? Start with small steps. For one day, be mindful of every daily activity. Consider each thing a choice and decide proactively(預(yù)先)if it’s necessary or simply a habit you can get rid of or do in half the time. Next, stop saying how busy you are. Then, figure out what you want to achieve with your day and begin doing it. Put your time and energy where you want it to be.

1.What are many of us busy doing every day?

A.Sitting quietly and think actively.

B.Meeting people’s demands on our time.

C.Making great discoveries.

D.Takinghigh-level decisions.

2.Why don’t successful people like Warren Buffet answer “busy”?

A.Because they value working abilities and attitude.

B.Because they focus on attracting excellent workers.

C.Because they pay more attention to learning management.

D.Because they think well and spend more time on critical tasks.

3.The writer probably agrees that we should ______.

A.stop considering each thing a choice

B.work more hours to achieve our goals

C.a(chǎn)nswer emails and messages as soon as possible

D.be mindful where we want our time and energy to be

4.What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?

A.To advise us to be freedfrom the trend of being busy.

B.To warn us about the danger of leading a busy life.

C.To show us ways to feel good about being busy.

D.To tell us how to fit into the busy modern life.
