There are many fun, free activities that you can do as a family. All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time. And the best part is that these are the kind of fun, family memories a child will remember for a lifetime.
Family Game Night
Kids often get games for Christmas or birthdays, and would love to have a chance to play with their family. Or, make up some games of their own. Charades(字謎游戲)is a fun game that will challenge children to use their imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words and the other has to act out.
Family Art Time
Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own art. It doesn’t need to be just a drawing-take some old magazines, let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own shape. Or let them use leaves, branches and whatever else they can find to make something from their imagination.
Family Picnic
Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn’t cost any money. If the weather is nice, take them to a park or playground and let them have a day of playing.
Family Field Trip
A family field trip doesn’t have to cost a cent. Ask a nearby farm if you can bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. Or take them to a park to find certain items from nature. Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work-you might be surprised at the number of people who would be excited to share what they do with others, and it could be an interesting lesson for kids.

I want to talk about the economy.Not "the economy" we hear about endlessly in the news each day and in politicians' speeches.I want to talk about the real economy, the one we live in day by day.
Most people aren't particularly interested in "the economy"."Share prices are flying high; interest rates are soaring(令人傷心的); the Dow Jones Index closed sixty-three points down on 8472.35." We hear this and subconsciously switch off.
Notice that "the economy" is not the same as the economy, "The economy" is what men in suits play with to make vast personal wealth.The economy is where the rest of us live on a daily basis, earning our living, paying our taxes, and purchasing the necessities of life.
We are supposed to be benefiting from all the advantages of a well-off society.So why do we feel tired and stressed? We have no time for anything other than work, which is ridiculous given the number of labor-saving devices in our lives.Our towns become more and more crowded.We poison our air and seas, and our food is full of chemicals.There's something wrong here.If times were truly good, then you may think we'd all feel optimistic about the future.Yet the majority of us are deeply worried.More than 90 percent of us think we are too concerned about ourselves and not concerned enough about future generations.
The term "economic expansion" suggests something desirable, but expansion simply means spending more money.More spending doesn't mean that life is getting better. We all know it often means the opposite - greed, crime, poverty, pollution. More spending merely feeds our whole economic system, which is based on production and consumption. Unless money keeps circulating, the economy breaks down. If we don't keep consuming, the whole system goes into stalemate(僵局).
How do we break the cycle and make some changes? We need to become far more aware of the results of our actions. We buy clothes that are made in sweat shops by virtual slaves in poor parts of the world. We create mountains of waste. We demand cheap food, mindless of the fact that it totally lacks taste and is produced using chemicals that poison the land.
The consumption(消費) culture makes us unaware of the effect of our own behavior. Our main problem is not that we don't know what to do about it. It is gathering the desire to do it.
【小題1】According to the author, which one belongs to the real economy?

A.The Dow Jones Index. B.Increases in interest rates. 
C.Shopping in a supermarket. D.Skyrocketing share prices. 
【小題2】It can be concluded from Paragraph 4 that        
A.people are benefiting from a well-off society 
B.the future generation is a big concern for most people 
C.the majority of people are optimistic about the future 
D.people still feel much pressure despite labor-saving devices 
【小題3】What is true about economic expansion?
A.It may lead to some social problems. 
B.It guarantees a better life for us. 
C.It will stop the circulation of money. 
D.It has only brought desirable effects. 
【小題4】The author writes the passage mainly to       
A.suggest a solution for over-consumption 
B.call on us to change our behavior 
C.make a distinction between two economies  
D.inform us of the effects of economic expansion

Donna is 19 years old and loves animals, which is why I’m always happy to leave my dog with her when I go on holiday. Donna also helps to train hunting dogs, but recently, her boyfriend told me, she returned home from a farm in tears after being told to hit some dogs.
“She wasn’t being asked to hit them because they didn’t behave well,” he said. “She was told to punch these puppies with a closed fist simply to let them know who is the boss,” Donna refused. Good for Donna. In my view, you hit an animal for only two reasons: as a way to teach it an important lesson to protect it from danger, such as not into the road; or because you like hurting animals.
Last summer, I attended a horse race. I don’t know much about horses, but I was alarmed when I saw a horse with a huge ulcer (潰瘍) on its legs. “Surely this horse won’t race?” I asked. I was very surprised that nobody in the crowd seemed concerned.
The horse began the race, but later it fell heavily. It had broken its leg. The next thing I saw was its dead body in a bag, being driven past. No one seemed to care, except those who had bet on it. I know people care for horse racing, but do they really care for horses? I doubt it.
Oh, but it’s a tradition, I hear you say. Wouldn’t the world be a boring place if we didn’t occasionally hit, shoot and chase animals? Traditions are made by man and can be unmade. It was once acceptable to kill servants when their master died, to visit the mental hospitals to laugh at the patients or to watch public execution (執(zhí)行死刑).
Nor should it be forgotten that in our progress to a more civilized world, animals have played an important role: they have fed us, carried us, worked for us, rescued us, died for us and sometimes just saved us from loneliness. Surely by now they deserve our kindness. At the very least, they deserve our respect.
【小題1】Donna was asked to hit the young dogs because ________.

A.they misbehaved
B.their owner disliked them
C.people on the farm enjoy hurting them
D.it was a way to train them to obey people
【小題2】What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.strikeB.strokeC.scoldD.pump
【小題3】What is the author’s purpose in telling the readers the story about the horse?
A.To explain the traditional horse race to readers.
B.To prove that the weak horse can’t win in the race.
C.To show that animals are treated unfairly by humans.
D.To say that people care more for horses than horse racing.
【小題4】Which of the following is NOT true?
A.People no longer watch killing criminals in public.
B.The author cannot accept anyone who hits the animals.
C.It was a traditional practice to kill servants for their dead master.
D.The author thinks it is possible to change the traditions made by man.
【小題5】What’s the best title of the passage?
A.No One Cares for Animals Nowadays.
B.Let’s Protect the Endangered Animals.
C.Show Animals the Respect They Deserve.
D.The Stories Between Animals and People.

Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term control of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to "light" beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical efforts. The Centers for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to lose weight said they were combining exercise with their diet.
In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure(熱量消耗)charts; for example, one would have to quickly walk hard three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry(小甜餅). Even exercise professionals accept half a point here. "Exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight," says York Onnen, program director of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
Still, exercise's supporting role in weight reduction is vital. A study at the Boston University Medical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.
If you have been sedentary (極少活動的) and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year's time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.
【小題1】What is said about the average American in the passage?

A.They tend to hate "light" beer and low-calorie bread.
B.They usually ignore the effect of exercise on losing weight.
C.Most of them were combining exercise with their diet.
D.They know the actors that play a positive role in keeping down body weight.
【小題2】"Even exercise professionals accept half a point here" means "They       ".
A.a(chǎn)gree that the calories in a small piece of pastry can be easy to work off by exercise
B.partially believe diet plays a supporting role in weight reduction
C.a(chǎn)re not fully convinced that dieting can help maintain one's new weight
D.a(chǎn)re not sufficiently informed of the positive role of exercise in losing weight
【小題3】What was confirmed by the Boston University Medical Center's study?
A.Controlling one's calorie intake is more important than doing exercise.
B.Even occasional exercise can help reduce weight.
C.Weight reduction is impossible without exercise.
D.One could lose ten pounds in a year's time if there's no increase in food intake.
【小題4】What is the author's purpose in writing this article?
A.To stress the importance of maintaining proper weight.
B.To support the statement made by York Onnen.
C.To show the most effective way to lose weight.
D.To introduce the study of the Boston University Medical Center.

Someday a stranger will read your email without your permission or scan the website you have visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
In fact, it is likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without permission? It might be a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-----the 21st century is the equal of being caught naked.
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy and that it is important to reveal yourself to friends, families and lovers at appropriate time and places. But now few boundaries remain. The information you leave everywhere makes it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. Believe it or not, we live in a world where you simply can’t keep a secret. The key question is: does that matter?
When you ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it.
But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收費站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few refuse to offer personal information like Social Security numbers to get supermarket loyalty cards.
But privacy (隱私) does matter—at least sometimes. It is like health: when you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it is gone do you wish you had done more to protect it.
【小題1】What does the underlined sentence in Para 2 mean?

A.People’s personal information is easily accessed without their knowing it.
B.In the 21st century people try every means to look into others’ secrets.
C.People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.
D.Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.
【小題2】Which of the statements will the psychologists probably agree with?
A.Friends should open their hearts to each other.
B.Friends should always be faithful to each other.
C.There should be a distance even between friends.
D.The closer they are, the deeper their friendship is.
【小題3】In the last paragraph but one, the EZ-Pass system and Social Security numbers are used as evidence to show_________.
A.Americans talk a lot but do little about privacy protection
B.Americans use various loyalty cards for business.
C.Americans rely more and more on electronic devices.
D.Americans change behaviors that might disclose their identity.
【小題4】Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?
A.Privacy and Health B.Privacy Is Getting Lost.
C.Boundary and Friendship D.Cherish What You Have

Starting in l972,the National Park Service established a policy for forest fires calle Natural Burn.It was acknowledged that some forest fires,such as those caused by lightning were necessary for forests to maintain balanced ecosystems,so the fire should be allowed to burn.However, a big fire in Yellowstone National Park in l988 caused this policy to be abandoned since the fire was initially allowed to burn yet soon out of control.As a result,the fire of l988 destroyed much of Yellowstone,which is America’s oldest and most beloved national park.Massive areas of plants were destroyed,and large empty spaces and acres of burned and blackened trees greeted visitors.The rivers and streams were choked with ash,and the ecosystem of the park was changed beyond repair.
In addition,great numbers of animals were killed by the fires that bumed out of control. The fires were driven by high winds,moving as many as ten miles a day.Many small animals died in the flames.The fires’ rapid advances gave the wildlife little chance to escape. Even today,few of these small forest animals have returned to live in the park. In the years immediately following the fires,the numbers of visitors declined rapidly.No one was interested in seeing a blackened and treeless park on vacation.Yellowstone had previously been famous for its amazing views and unique geological formations such as the geyser Old Faithful. But now its reputation as America's wonder is damaged permanently.
【小題1】Natural Burn was adopted because some forest fires were

Being able to call on the old boy's network helps you get your foot in the door,but has little impact on your later success.Having good connections does change your possibility of being offered a higher wage when you start working,but has no impact on your eventual wage.Coming from a wealthy background has little impact on lifetime earnings.Over time,brain power soon overtakes(超過),and intelligence is the factor,which will determine your earnings and success.The speed of your rise through the ranks is determined largely by your own intelligence.
The study monitored earnings and promotions over the course of 25 years.Scores were used to assess the Socio­Economic Background(SEB)-wealth and connections-and standard Army intelligence tests used to assess intelligence.The study is sure to infuriate(激怒)those angered by wealthy groups such as Oxford's upper-crust(上流社會)Bullingdon Club,of which both David Cameron and Borris Johnson were members.
Professor Yoav Ganzach says that these findings have a positive message for those,who can't rely on nepotism(裙帶關(guān)系)for their first job.“Your family can help you start your career and you do get an advantage,but it doesn't help you progress.And once you start working,you can go wherever your abilities take you,” he says.When intelligence and SEB are pitted directly against once another(相互較量),intelligence is a more accurate predictor of future career success,he say.
【小題1】How many factors which may influence one's career are mentioned in the passage?

A.1.B.2.
C.3.D.4.
