Host family accommodation,or living with host families,remains popular among language travel students for its unique advantages.These days,host families are trying to offer more in terms of quality,for they still have something to worry about.
Host family accommodation is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study,cultural communication and cost of living.Staying alongside host families enables students to get enough practice for the short time of their studying so that their language acquisiton is likely to become faster.Living in host families also has the advantage of students of being able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”,and get to know the local way of life,people and culture.Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive.It attracts students for it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost.
The advantages,however,have not prevented host families from worrying.On one hand,some host families are losing their unique selling point.The probelm is that the majority of bosts in big cities,now generally single and young,have less time available for students,but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice.On the other,students’ expectations have risen.They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation,as they come mainly from high socio-economic groups in their own countries.
To get out of the difficult situation,host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service.They are trying to make living conditions better,including broadband Internet service,private bathroom,and access to plenty of hot water for long showers.They are also providing students with structured family activities.
It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with language travel students.

Dear Friend,
The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year ... plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潛能）, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:
You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿） suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
Sincerely, 
Kristi Holl, Instructor
Institute of Children's Literature

The Internet has opened up a whole new on-line world for us to meet, chat and go where we've never been before.
But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior that should be followed when online. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated．Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes.
For anything you're about to send: ask yourself, "Would I say this to the person's face?" If the answer is no, rewrite and reread．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face.
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
Everyone was new to the network once. Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer be kind about it. If it's a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else.
If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex, and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don't ask such questions.
小題1:When you send short messages to a person, you must _____.
A．make sure that they mean no harmB．read them again and again
C．say something good to hearD．repeat them later to the person's face
小題2:If you are hurt in the chat room by others, you should _____
A．fight back in the same wayB．take them seriously
C．have none of themD．be angry at them
小題3:If a newcomer who communicates on line makes any mistakes, you _____.
A．should point them out sharply
B．shouldn’t give any advice unless required by them
C．should say something about them
D．should take your responsibility to correct them
小題4:This passage mainly tells us ______.
A．some rules of Internet communication.B．ways of sending messages
C．rules of the chat roomD．ways of making friends on the Internet

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand(品牌) of product on the shelf.
Coloring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged(包裝)in green, yellow or brown because we think of these as healthy colors. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colors turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote(推銷) their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius(天才)to sell it.”
小題1:Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?
A．The cost of its package.
B．The price of the product.
C．The color of its package.
D．The brand name of the product.
小題2: The underlined part “the colors turned the customers off”(in Para.3) means that the colors ____.
A．a(chǎn)ttracted the customers strongly
B．had weak effects on the customers
C．tricked the customers into shopping
D．caused the customers to lose interest
小題3: Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
A．The way to promote goods.
B．The discovery of a genius.
C．The team to produce a good product.
D．The brand name used by successful producers.
小題4:Which of the following would be the best title for this text?
A．Choice of Good Products
B．Disadvantages of Products
C．Effect of Packaging on Shopping
D．Brand Name and Shopping Tricks

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Play is the basic business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great impor­tance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy (嬰兒), every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. The main function of toys is to suggest, encourage and play. To succeed in this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back to again, and again. Therefore it is important to choose suit­able toys for different stages of a child’s development.
In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited (遺傳的) abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby’s ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.
In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability: Bricks and jigsaws (七巧板) and construction toys; painting, scribbling (涂鴉) and making things; sand and water play;toys for imaginative and pretending play — the first so­cial games for learning to play and get on with others.
But at the third stage of play development — from five to seven or eight years old — the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.
Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and val­uable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changed — to a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.
小題1:according to the first passage we know that as a child grows up________.
A．he should be allowed to choose his own toys
B．he should be given the same toys
C．he should be given different toys
D．he should be given fewer and fewer toys
小題2:according to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents________.
A．determine his character
B．will not change after the age of three
C．partly determine the standard he is likely to reach
D．to a large extent determine the choice of toys
小題3:We learn from the passage that a child has boundless curiosity________.
A．when he is twoB．when he is around four
C．when he is sixD．when he is eight
小題4: The passage is mainly about________.
A．the importance of pre-school education B．the importance of schooling
C．the role of play in a child’s developmentD．the choice of toys for youngster

Among various programs, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "rubbish talk". The topics on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes the TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main audience are middle-class Americans. Most of the people have the time, money and ability to deal with life's tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to 21year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show's exploitation.
46. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are ______.
A. more interesting          B. unusually poplar       C. more detailed           D. more formal
47. Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows ______.
A. show disbelief in them                                         B. are ready to face up to them
C. remain cold to them                                     D. are willing to get away from them
48. Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?
A. A new type of robot.                                    B. National hatred.
C. Family income planning.                              D. Street accident.
49. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows ____.
A. have become the only ones of its kind                   B. exploit the weaknesses in human nature
C. appear at different times of the day                    D. attract different people
50. What is the advantage of the Jerry Springer show?
A. The show exposes the dark sides of society.
B. The show pours poisonous waste into society.
C. Jerry sums up the whole idea of the show.
D. Jerry talks abou the improvement of society.

Rarely have I experienced a reaction like that which came about following the idea of banning private education. One of those who contacted me to disagree with the idea was 17 year old Anirudh Mandagere. He got 10 A*s at GCSE and is currently studying English, French, Math and History at a private school in Manchester. Here is his response:
For me, the idea that all private schools should be banned is not only ridiculous and unrealistic, but goes against the idea of liberty. We must have the freedom to choose between state-funded and privately educated schools. If parents pay taxes, surely they should be able to choose whether they send their children to a state-funded or a privately-funded school.
The economic impacts of abolishing private education are vast. Banning private schools would obviously contribute to a great transfer to state schools. Many state schools are already overburdened; do they really need more pupils? Abolishing private education would lead to higher taxes for taxpayers since more money would be needed to educate the 7% who were previously private educated. In the times of economic crisis, should the taxpayer need to fork out more money to pay for their education? There would also be a great rise in unemployment of the staff who works at private schools.
It is noted that, in general, private schools have better grades at GCSE and A level than state schools. Yet, why do people view this as a bad thing? The higher private school grades eventually force the government to endlessly improve state education so that the middle-classes do not totally abandon state education for private education. This competition creates reform and progress within state schools and eventually promote them! If the private schools did not exist, where would be the impetus for state school improvement?
Government should not simply ban a system which produces results. It should learn from it and use the private education model as a basis for the state education model. Abolishing a successful system will not help anybody, learning from a successful system will.
小題1:In the eye of Anirudh Mandagere, parents have the right to ______.
A．criticize state-funded schools
B．pay taxes for the promotion of private schools
C．choose the way their children receive education
D．a(chǎn)dvocate the competition between state schools and private ones
小題2:According to the passage, banning private education will ______.
A．obviously contribute to lower taxes
B．not cause the state schools to be overburdened
C．force the government to boost state education
D．lead to many people losing their jobs
小題3:The underlined word “impetus” in the fourth paragraph probably means ______.
A．motivationB．preventionC．participationD．a(chǎn)ssessment
小題4:Compared with state schools, private ones ______.
A．educate a little fewer students B．conduct better than all state ones
C．a(chǎn)re better received by the publicD．a(chǎn)re more competitive on the whole
小題5:Which of the following statements will Anirudh Mandagere agree with?
A．His wonderful performance results from the education his private school offers.
B．Without the existence of private schools, state ones wouldn’t get improved much.
C．Private education is a good system to make students successful in life.
D．Private schools are supposed to be sponsored more than state ones.
