One of the most difficult things for children to deal with when moving to a new town is leaving their friends and making new ones.
We once moved and one of our new neighbors told us about a summer camp at the Recreation Center all the kids went to. My husband and I looked into it and we found it was unbelievably cheap. I had the kids sign up (報(bào)名) the next day so that they could know more kids there.
Another thing we did was to have them sign up for sports when school started. They were happy to be on teams with new friends they made. This also gave me a chance to meet new people and from them I sometimes got some useful ideas for my new books.
If you’re just moving to a new house in the same city you live in now, it won’t really be a problem unless your kids are changing schools. If they are, it is a great idea to have them take the address book to school. Thus, your children won’t feel “l(fā)ost” without their old friends.
If you’re able to, over the summer vacation, try inviting the friend your child misses most to come and visit your new home for a week, or even a few weeks. I know this can be difficult if that child has to fly, but maybe you can work out a plan with the child’s parents. Think how happy the kids will be when they meet!
小題1:The author had her kids sign up for the summer camp mainly because _____.
A．she could afford the costB．she was asked to do so by her kids
C．it could give her kids a chance to meet more kids
D．it could make the summer holiday not so boring
小題2:What is probably the author?
A．A housewife.B．A business woman.C．A teacher.D．A writer.
小題3:What we can’t learn from the passage is that ____. 
A．a(chǎn) summer camp at the Recreation Center was very cheap
B．having the kids take part in sports is good for both the author and her kids
C．parents should ask their children not to think of their old friends
D．parents should create more chances for children to make new friends
小題4:The purpose of the passage is to teach parents how to ______ when they move to a new place. 
A．get used to the new life in a short time
B．help their children make new friends and keep the old ones
C．get along with their new neighbors
D．help their children get used to the new school life

Dear Michelle:
My Dad hates my Mom. He tells me that she is a liar and that I should not trust her. Of course, they are divorced but they have “joint custody(共同監(jiān)護(hù))”. What a joke! I am 15, my brother is nine, and we have a life of hell, frankly.
We live one week on and one week off. This was the brilliant idea of both of my parents, which was fair to them but ruining my life. I can’t get away from his voice and his putting my mom down. Sometimes I think about running away.
A Hopeless Ant
Dear Hopeless Ant:
First, thank you for trusting me with your problem. If all you said is correct, then there are several
things that you can and should do to help yourself, your brother, and your parents.
● You need a family counselor(顧問). Such a person could listen to each family member alone and
then meet together to talk about the situation.
If refused, you need to talk to a counselor in your school. You need to be heard, and you need an
adult who will listen. A school counselor can organize a meeting with your parents.
● Perhaps you need to write to her. Writing things down allows people to go over it more than one
time.
I cannot imagine that she will stand passively by and do nothing at all to help once she reads how
you feel. Your father needs a letter as well. He may not realize the destructive effect that it has on his
children.
● Lastly, have a plan in mind when all else fails that is not self-destructive. Life passes very quickly, and you will grow up and have your own life.
Above all, you need to keep yourself safe. Never doubt that it will get better. Write back and let me know how everything is going.
The Hopeless Ant wrote the letter to _______.
A. complain about the problems
B. ask for advice
C. make his father punished
D. just play a joke
小題1:.
The Hopeless Ant hated his father because __________.
A．his father always told a lie
B．his father wasn’t friendly to his mother
C．his father divorced his mother
D．the Hopeless Ant couldn’t stay with his parents
小題2:.
According to the text, which of the following advice is in greatest need for the Hopeless Ant?
A．Keep himself safe.B．Have a talk with his parents.
C．Have his own family plan.D．Write letters to families.
小題3:.
In which part of a website may the passage appear?
A．Entertainment.B．Advertisement.C．Life.D．Education.

The bus is a usable form of transportation all over the world because we can easily take it to go everywhere. Also, we do not need to worry about danger on a long-distance trip. Now, we have comfortable buses in London. I would like to describe how comfortable they are. First, the number of seats on a bus has been reduced from 44 to 19. The reason why the number of seats is now 19 is that the seats have been changed to big and comfortable sofas.
Originally, they changed the normal seats to airplane seats and took out ten seats from the buses. However, every customer wanted to have a more comfortable seat on the bus when they went on long-distance trips, so they changed them to sofas. Also, the owners of the bus companies wanted to make more money, so they tried to meet the passengers’ needs. They changed the airplane seats to sofas, so the number of seats is now 19.
As the new buses appear, the prices go up, too. The owners have many ideas, which you have probably never thought about before. Now they have bus attendants who serve water, snacks, newspapers, and towels.
Also, you can change the direction and the height of the sofa to make yourself more comfortable, and there is a service bell on each sofa. Moreover, some companies show movies on the buses. In addition, when you go on a long-distance trip, they have luxurious(豪華的) buses that have an LCD screen on each seat. That is not the only surprising thing on the bus. They also have different TV channels, movie channels, and seventy TV games for killing time while you are on the bus.
小題1:How many airplane seats did they put in a bus originally?
A．10 seats.B．19 seats.C．34 seats.D．44 seats.
小題2: The direction and height of the sofas can be changed so that ______.
A. they can take up less space            B. they can hold more people
C. passengers can feel more comfortable   D. passengers can watch a movie
小題3:If you are thirsty and want to have a drink while sitting in the bus, you’d better _____.
A．go to the front of the bus to get itB．get off the bus to buy some by yourself
C．change the direction of the seatD．ring the bell on your sofa
小題4:Though there are fewer seats on the buses, _____.

D．the bus is as crowded as it was before

Three years ago I listened to a lecture on cognition (認(rèn)知) that changed the way I think about intelligence. There are two types of cognition. The first is normal cognition: the ability to regain knowledge from memory. The second type of cognition is metacognition: the ability to know whether or not you know.
Does this affect intelligence? In traditional education, intelligence is measured by cognitive ability. Some people can easily produce everything they know on a test. But others are awarded with poor grades and considered inferior. But does this inability make them any less intelligent? If the question came up on a task, they could refer to a book or a quick Google search. In reality they’re just as effective as the people that ace a test. They just can’t prove it as easily.
Metacognition is more important to success than cognition. A person with poor cognitive ability, but great metacognitive ability might do poorly in school, but when faced with a challenge, they understand their abilities and take the best course of action. For example, when faced with a question, a person with strong metacognitive ability will deal with it like this. If he knows the answer, but can’t come up with it, he can always do a bit of research. If he knows for sure that he doesn’t know, then he can start educating himself. Because he’s aware of his ignorance, he doesn’t act with foolish confidence. These people might not seem intelligent at first glance, but because they know what they know, they make better decisions and learn the most important things.
However, people with great cognitive ability but poor metacognitive ability may be considered excellent at a young age for acing every test and getting great SAT scores. Unfortunately, they’ve been ruined by poor metacognition: they think they know everything but they really don’t. They are overconfident, fail to learn from mistakes, and don’t understand the slight differences of personal relationships, showing disregard for persons with lower cognitive ability. They may make the worst decisions.
The most important mental power is the ability to know what you don’t know. The recognition of a fault is the first step to improvement. Don’t try to hide a lack of knowledge. For intelligent people this is the toughest lesson to learn.
小題1:People with great cognitive ability tend to _________.
A．do well in testsB．be considered inferior
C．be more effective than othersD．do research when faced with a task
小題2:The underlined phrase “take the best course of action” probably means _________.
A．starting educating himselfB．taking action during the course
C．making the right decisionD．coming up with many ideas
小題3:People with poor metacognition may not succeed because they_________.
A．lack basic moral valuesB．have improper self-evaluation
C．fail to communicate with othersD．show little respect for others
小題4:The author probably supports the idea that _________.
A．intelligence is measured by cognitive ability
B．cognition is the most important mental power
C．the toughest lesson is to distinguish the two types of cognition
D．the awareness of one’s ignorance contributes to one’s improvement

What's your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices , and pay our money.
We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? It's true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them.
It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔)in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.
Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity. Local workers often find only menial(卑微的)jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries, When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos.
Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure.     
The result is responsible tourism, or “ethical tourism.” Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the people's lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex.
But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.
They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.
What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we're abroad, we can:
Buy local foods and products, not imported ones.
Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.
Avoid flaunting wealth.
Ask before taking photographs of people.
They are not just part of the landscape!
Let's enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.
小題1: What is probably the best title for the article?
A．Tourism Causes Bad Effects.B．Tourism Calls for Good Behavior.
C．Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun.D．Vacations Cost More Than You Think
小題2: Which of the following is not mentioned?
A．Local people were well paid to leave their lands.
B．Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people.
C．Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.
D．Tourists could bargain with local people for a reasonable price.
小題3: The underlined phrase "take heart" means"      ".
A．pay attentionB．take careC．cheer upD．calm down
小題4: According to the passage, the writer thinks          .
A．tourism is not a promising industry
B．dream vacations should be spent abroad
C．the problems caused by tourism are easy to settle
D．tourists should respect local customs and culture

It seems that every week someone becomes “the first” or “the youngest” or even “the first married couple” to do something that doesn’t seem to be very useful to the rest of us.
Why do they do it? Don’t they have better things to do with their time and money? And why should I be interested anyway? Human beings have already climbed the highest mountains, sailed across the oceans and flown around the world. Many of these things were done a long, long time ago. There just isn’t anything left to explore nowadays. I suppose there’s still a lot of the universe left, and the bottom of the ocean is still a bit of a mystery, but you need a lot of technology to explore areas like that. So, those people who feel the need for adventure can only do things that have been done before.
In May of this year a British man became the first person to walk alone from Canada to the North Pole. Personally, if I wanted to visit the Arctic, I’d rather go as a tourist on a cruise ship, with a helicopter trip to the North Pole included in the price. But OK, this man decided that he wanted to walk. The problem was that he went in the spring when the ice begins to melt and break up. So he got stuck on a longely piece of ice and a plane had to be sent in to rescue him.
These sorts of rescues are making many Australians angry with these record breakers. People trying to break sailing or rowing records get into trouble in the seas. So the Australian navy has to send ships to save them and this costs the government millions of dollars. I suppose we can’t just leave them to drown but we should give the bill to the people who are rescued.
小題1:According to the author, the so-called record breakers          .
A．do not benefit other people at all
B．inspire people to continue exploring
C．a(chǎn)re boring and should be stopped
D．a(chǎn)re usually not wealthy enough
小題2:We can infer from the second paragraph that          .
A．there are no high mountains for people to climb
B．nothing is left for people to explore in the universe
C．it’s beyond ordinary people to explore the unknown
D．human beings could fly around the world long ago
小題3:Many Australians are angry because the record breakers        .
A．often get into trouble
B．never use a cruise ship or a helicopter
C．never pay their own costs
D．satisfy their needs at the cost of others’ interest
小題4:What is the writer’s attitude towards the record breakers?
A．Positive.B．Negative.
C．Uninterested.D．Neutral（中立的）.

With eco-tourism on the rise, eco-hotels are fast becoming the darling of the travel industry. These days, however, staying at an eco-hotel doesn’t necessarily mean vacationing in a tree house in the Costa Rican jungle, although that is certainly a choice.
The majority of eco-hotels fall into one of several categories: hotels and resorts that conserve ecologically important habitats; “green” hotels that reduce, recycle, minimize waste, and protect water; sustainable hotels that harvest food from gardens on the hotel property or get part or all of their power from renewable energy; hotels that encourage community involvement such as guests taking part in trail clearing; and hotels that offer some form of environmental education to their guests.
As such, eco-hotels are a various group. Stylish urban hotels like the Willard Inter-Continental Washington focus on energy conservation whereas the Rosario Resort & Spa on Orcas Island in Washington State offers a wildly popular “green” vacation package where guests can “take a hike, clear a trail”.
No matter what you call them, eco-hotel, eco-lodge, eco-resort, or green hotel, they’re all part of the “greening” of the tourism industry.
Part of what drives this greening of the hotel industry is no doubt competition. Going green is yet another way to distinguish a hotel from the mass of other excellent hotels that consumers have to choose from. But for many hotels, it’s also part of their philosophy. With the concept of “going green” firmly rooted in consumers’ minds, eco-hotels have taken it to the next level, and whether or not money is the driving factor behind the greening of the hotel industry doesn’t matter so much as it’s good for the planet.
小題1:The underlined part in the first paragraph means _______.
A．lovers like staying at an eco-hotel when traveling
B．eco-hotels are very popular in the travel industry
C．eco-hotels are where young people love to live
D．romantic love stories often happen in eco-hotels
小題2: According to the passage, which of the following can match the idea of eco-hotel?
A．It uses renewable energy.
B．It is comfortable and fashionable.
C．It has walls of glass.
D．It is home to endangered species.
小題3: From the passage, we know the Rosario Resort & Spa is a kind of hotel that _______.
A．protects important habitats
B．harvests food from its own garden
C．has courses on the environment for its guests
D．encourages its guests to participate in its greening activities
小題4: From the last paragraph, we can learn that _______.
A．money is the driving force behind eco-hotels
B．eco-hotels have no advantages in competing for guests
C．eco-hotels teach their guests the philosophy of eco-hotels
D．the hotel industry cares more about money than the environment
小題5: People who choose to stay at eco-hotels _______.
A．love to take a hike
B．have environmental awareness
C．want to live comfortably
D．enjoy the green atmosphere
