“Homestay is a form of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability,” said a teacher during a school meeting last term, “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won’t be disappointed(失望的).”
After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.
As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family(寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.

The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.
The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.

I played a tennis game against my cousin Ed last week, and I will never forget it.
I had played a lot of games before, but it was one of the most        games I’ve ever had. When Ed first phoned and suggested we play, I       quietly, thinking I was sure to beat him, because I didn’t think Ed could win any games with his fat body.
As long as I can remember: Ed’s been the least physically fit member in the family, but strangely        of himself. His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers. Although the family often joked about that, Ed        to buy a larger T-shirt or to lose weight. So when Ed arrived for our game not only with the bottom of his shirt inside his trousers but also with a stomach you could        notice. I was so surprised that I was speechless.
My cousin must have made an effort to get himself into       . As a result, at the point in our game, when I’d have predicted(预测) I would win the game by 9 to 1, it was        7 to 9 —and Ed was leading. The sudden realization was       .

“In my day, we had to walk a mile to school—uphill, both ways.” That may sound like an old joke. Today, only 13 percent of kids walk to school, down from 66 percent 30 years ago.
Studies show that fewer children are walking and biking to school, and more children are at risk of becoming overweight. Changing behaviors of children and parents require creative ways that are safe and fun.
A walking school bus can be both.
It works like a bus, picking up ‘passengers’ along the way at designated(指定的) ‘bus stops’ except everyone is walking!
The Walking School Bus works as a supervised group of children walking to and from school along a safe and enjoyable set route. There are at least two parents in a group. One parent ‘drives’ at the front of the bus, while the other parent supervises at the back. The same of different supervisors go with the children to and from school. Additional(增加的) parents may be needed depending on the walking environment.
The ‘bus’ can go as often as parents want to ‘drive’ it and children want to use it. This means that it can even work as little as one morning or afternoon each week. All children are welcome to join the bus even if their parents cannot be drivers. And the service is free.
Socially, it’s great because the children meet other children, otherwise they would only know by sight.
“My children have formed some good friendships because of the Walking Bus. The parents get to know other parents too!” a parent said. “From our experience of the Walking Bus, it has only been a meaningful thing. It gets all of us walking more and the children do not complain about walking like they used to. ”
Some kids said compared to walking school bus, it’s boring in a car when they were asked why not get into a car.
Besides these, it might have a good effect on heavy traffic.
小题1:How many students walked to school 30 years ago?

A．66 percent.

B．13 percent.

C．30 percent.

D．53 percent.

小题2:What does the underlined word “supervised” mean in the passage?

A．controlled

B．explored

C．required

D．improved

小题3:What can the Walking School Bus NOT do to help the children __________.

A．make more friends	B．reduce the risk of being overweight
C．exercise more	D．complain about walking

小题4:The best title of this passage is “__________”.

A．A new way to exercise	B．A new school bus
C．A walking school bus	D．Parents’ driving school bus

It’s fun to receive presents. It also feels good to give to others. So what’s the best way to budget(预算) your money, shop wisely and spend the least money if possible?
Susan Beacham, from a company that teaches money-management skills to kids, gives us some good advice.
“My first tip is to make a list and check it twice,” says Susan. She suggests that kids talk with their families about whom to include in their gift giving and how much to spend. Start by writing down names. Then put a dollar amount next to each name and add it up. Do you have enough money? If not, make changes. And don’t forget—not everyone needs a store-bought gift. Susan points out that some of the best presents are free. Add to your list the names of people you want to give gifts of “time and talent”.
The best gifts don’t cost a thing. Kids can give “time or talent”, says Susan Beacham. Here are some of her top gift ideas.
·For the elder members of your family, do something for them, such as cleaning houses and washing clothes.
·For a friend, create a work of art, like a poem, a drawing or a necklace.
·For teachers, write a note telling her how special she is to you.
·For the people who live around you, show that you care by volunteering. Find out who needs your help and what you can do. Giving your time to help others may end up being the best gift of all!
