M’Kenzie and Derek Tillotson, of Utah, USA, are planning to embark on an epic trip around the world with their three young children, and are looking for a travel nanny（保姆） to help them on their journey. They posted a Facebook video hoping to get a few dozen applications, but ended up with messages from nearly 20,000 people hoping to get the job.

The couple runs a family travel blog called ‘Five Take Flight’ and recently decided to sell their home in Utah and go on an unforgettable adventure around the world. They plan to leave in July, flying from their home in Utah to New York City, then to Iceland, and the rest of Europe. They’ll return to their home city for a two weeks over Christmas, before flying to Hawaii, New Zealand, and finally Asia. It sounds like an incredible experience, but it’s also going to be pretty tough to manage with three kids, which is why they’ve decided to take someone to travel with them and lend a hand when necessary.

“You’ll be an honorary member of the family and will be treated with respect and be able to voice your opinion.” The travel nanny will be required to handle most of the homeschooling for the couple’s two boys, while also looking after their baby sister and also handle some of the cooking and cleaning.

“It’s hard to define your exact hours because you will be living with us, but you will have time to yourself every day for sure, and one to two times a week you’ll be able to go off on your own .” The Tillotsons add that the chosen person will receive a monthly salary of $1200 – $1500 for their work besides travel expenses and other living costs. However, a number of people have pointed out that the sum is still very low for the requirements.

C. The couple will travel around the world by themselves.

D. Three children will live in a nanny’s home.

NASA has opened the door to the next generation of space discovery by announcing great plans for a base for humans to live on the surface of the moon forever.

The project to build a base on the moon will begin soon after 2020, with astronauts living there within four years.

The project comes after several excellent scientists and environmentalists asked humans to look beyond Earth to ensure the survival of the species (物種).

Eventually, the moon will be a base for humans to explore the solar system and one day land on Mars.

NASA began planning for the first moon landing since 1972 when George Bush, the US president, announced his new plan for space exploration four years ago.

NASA has already talked about the design of the Orion spacecraft that will replace the old space shuttle fleet in 2010.

The plan for the moon base, however, is the first detailed explanation of how NASA intends to prepare for the first manned exploration of deep space and a possible Mars mission within 30 years.

Scientists also believe that the south pole on the moon contain rich natural gases such as the rare helium-3 that could be used as fuel for the generation of nuclear power. Besides, teams of astronauts living there for six months at a time would mine for hydrogen and oxygen to make water and possibly rocket fuel.

1.The reasons why NASA has begun the plan to explore space include the followings except ________.

A. to protect Earth

B. to explore deep space

C. to finish Mars mission

D. to show how powerful the USA is

2.In the future, when people fly to the moon, they will probably not bring with them too much ________

A. hydrogen B. food C. oxygen D. water

3.The passage mainly talks about ________.

A. the USA’s new plan for space exploration

B. how to build a base on the moon

C. why to ensure the survival of the species

D. where to get new natural resources

1. . One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.

The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. 2.. Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.

Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. 3.. All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.

4. .You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.

At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!

Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 5. . Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.

So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!

A. That’s easy.

B. Enjoy your own club!

C. Invite a designer to join you.

D .What are you interest in?

E. Some vacation is just around the corner.(即將來臨)

The Kindle app for your Android or iPhone actually records the most quoted passages by all readers. Simply do a quick Google search for “most quoted passages”＋ “the name of the book” and see what comes up. Make sure you’re the first to speak up. When you read the quote, read it forcefully, taking long, thoughtful pauses.

3. Pick an opinion

4.There, you’ll find lots of opinions on the book, which range from glowing to inspiring; simply pick one and use it as your own during the book discussion. This way you don’t have to read the book or think for yourself.

4. Always vote for books that are also movies

Fight hard for books with a movie version. And make sure it’s a short movie you can easily watch while sleeping on the couch. When someone complains that the book you want to read is also a movie –act surprised.
