Things to Keep in Mind before Moving to New York City
So, reading up on New York's history, facts, statistics, facilities, etc, is always a good idea. Learn about the culture, how to deal with people, taxi drivers, manners, or lack of manners that is exhibited there, and so on. It is always best to know what exactly you are getting into rather than landing there and getting a complete shock.
Before you buy your clothes or shoes, you always try them out first, right? In the same way, before you move to New York, you need to visit it for a couple of days, just do that you can see what the city is like.
The best and worst thing about New York is that this city is controlled by money. Then, you need to set aside (留出) an amount for emergencies only. If you are moving to New York with a job, or are planning to get a job once you are in the city, then you need to make sure that your salary covers up all your expenses and the amount that you would set aside for emergencies.
Finding a neighbourhood in New York is the key to actually enjoying your stay there. If you are moving to the city due to work, then look for living accommodations close to your workplace.Do you see yourself living in a place that is quiet, like the Upper West Side or East Side, or do you want noisy setups, like the East Village, Lower East Side, or West Village?
Give the city a chance, make some good memories, and enjoy your stay there. Be safe wherever you go, and don't worry too much.
A. The easiest way to survive in New York is to have a friend who knows this city really well.
B. Once you are in New York, you would never want to leave it.
C. Before you move to any city, it is always best to know a little about the city.
D. To start with, you will need to make a budget.
E. You need to decide what kind of neighborhood you want.
F. Take a tour of the city and try to imagine yourself living there.
G. The experience of moving to New York depends on how the city treats you and what you make of the city.

【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C或D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng) Albert Einstein(1879—1955) was one of the greatest and most original scientific thinkers of all time.
Born of Jewish parents in Germany, he completed his education in Switzerland and got his Ph.D at the University of Zurich. He went to live in the United States in 1933 because of the rise of Nazism(納粹) in Germany and Hitler’s persecution(迫害) of the Jews.
In 1905,while still at Zurich,he published his Special Theory of Relativity, which was based on things everyone may have noticed. If two trains are standing alongside each other and one train starts to move, a person sitting in the train may wonder whether his own train is moving or the other is moving, and before he finds out what is happening, he can see that one train is moving relatively to the other. From this and also from other more complicated facts, Einstein came to the conclusion that all motion is relative and that there are really no such things as absolute(絕對(duì)) motion. Some of the other conclusions he drew are that nothing can go faster than light, and that if something such as a ruler was moving faster and faster it would seem to get shorter and shorter as its speed was near the speed of light. By 1915, Einstein had made known his General Theory of Relativity. He also improved on Newton’s theory of gravity. Most of his theories have been tested and found to be true though some may sound strange. For his important work he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics.

(3)One of the conclusions drawn by Einstein is that ( )
A.places go faster than trains and buses
B.people couldn’t run as fast as vehicles
C.light goes the fastest of all the things
D.two trains can go in different directions
(4)Einstein added that if something such as a ruler was moving it would seem to get shorter and shorter ( )

【題目】Many kids help out around the house with chores(家庭雜務(wù)) such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances(補(bǔ)貼) or other rewards such as extra computer time.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. "Running any kind of household is a team effort," Susie said. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look."

Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兌取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. "Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards," says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. "Kids need positive reinforcement(強(qiáng)化) to help motivate them."

What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?

Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@timeforkids.com. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.

1How does the author start the passage?

B. parents decide what kids can do for the family

3Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.

A. Chris Bergman’s opinion on raising kids

【題目】閱讀理解 To most of us,school means classes,teachers,schedules,grades,and tests.But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts,school is very different.
Firstly,there are no lessons.All the children,aged between 4 and 19,do whatever they want.There are no teachers—only “staff members”.The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn,because children want to learn anyway.“You do not need to say to a threeyearold,‘Go explore your environment.’You can’t stop them!” says Daniel Greenberg,a founder of the school.“But if you make children do what you want all day,they will lose all taste for learning.”
At Sudbury Valley School,you will permit children to talk,read,paint,cook,work on computers,study French,play the piano,climb trees,or just run around.Two boys spent three years just fishing!
The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules.Every week,there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the fouryearolds.They decide the school rules,how to spend the school budget,and even which staff they want and do not want anymore.
When the school first opened in 1968,people said it would never work.But today,the school has 200 students,and 80% of its students go on to college.Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today.One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
(1)What is the main topic of the article?
A.An unusual school.
B.Children’s hobbies.
C.A school without rules.
D.Education in the US.
(2)What does the school believe?
A.Teachers cannot teach children well.
B.Children learn best when they do what they want to do.
C.Learning is for adults—children should only play.
D.Children should only learn about one thing at a time.
(3)What does Daniel Greenberg say about threeyearolds?
A.They love learning.
B.They are very naughty.
C.They want to be outside all the time.
D.They are too young to learn anything.
(4)What happens to the children after they leave this school?
A.They do all things in different ways.
B.They have problems getting into college or getting a job.
C.Most of them have a promising future.
D.They are not successful.

【題目】閱讀短文,完成下列問題。
C
In her outstanding book, “Choose the Happiness Habit”, Pam Golden wrote, “Take the story of two twin brothers for example. One grew up and became an alcoholic (酒鬼), while the other became a successful businessman. When asked why he became an alcoholic, the alcoholic replied, “Because my father was a drunk.” However, the successful businessman's answer was also “Because my father was a drunk.” when asked why he succeeded. The same background. The same upbringing (培養(yǎng)). However, the results were quite different. Why? The reason is that they had different choices. The brothers chose different thoughts which formed the situations they found themselves in at last, so they had different experiences.
There was a time in my life when I thought difficulty was due to “bad luck”. Have you ever heard the saying “When it rains, it pours”? That was my answer when others asked me how things were going on when I was in trouble. So what do you think I got? “RAIN”. More and more “RAIN”. I couldn't understand why bad luck was always with me.
Pam Golden says, “You're either living in the problem or you're living in the solution.” Now, when I'm faced with what I used to think was a negative (消極的) situation, I use a different way to think about it. I force myself to replace those negative thoughts that make me lose heart in my mind with positive thoughts which encourage me to fight against the difficulty bravely. Sometimes I write down some ideas that may be a solution, which I combine with the lessons I have learned from the bad situations and the difficulties that troubled me in the past, and often, I find a solution to the problem soon. It seems that I should thank the difficulty I met with. The RAIN that poured in my world has become great experiences that provide me with valuable experience, from which I can benefit.
Now, it doesn't “rain” as much in my life as it used to. In fact, most days are beautiful, cloudless and sunny! Sometimes I do get a rain, but I think it makes me stronger just like the rain helps plants grow up.
(1)The example of the twin brothers shows that ________.
A.making good choices is the most important
B.education decides a person's future
C.upbringing makes a big difference
D.it is luck that leads to success
(2)What does “RAIN” mentioned in the second paragraph refer to?
A.Water.
B.Good luck.
C.Success.
D.Difficulty.
(3)What is talked about in the third paragraph?
A.How the author collects useful experience.
B.How the author deals with difficulty now.
C.How the author gets help from others.
D.How the author lives in the problem.
(4)Which of the following agrees with the author's attitude now in the text?
A.All things are difficult before they are easy.
B.Meeting with difficulty is not a bad thing.
C.Misfortunes tell us what fortune is.
D.Things at the worst will mend.
