He usually writes down what he is going to do in the following month.
| July | | 阅读理解。 | Last week I visited my friend Pete in the new home where he lives with his wife and daughter. Pete used
to spend his holidays travelling the world, visiting the Louvre in Pairs or watching animals in Africa. Nowadays
he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of
thousands of other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It Yourself), which means if there
are any things that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job himself.
As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked Pete
where he got the idea from. He told me that his favourite source of ideas was a DIY programme on TV.
This got me thinking about the popularity of DIY programmes in the UK. Nearly every channel has at least
one home or garden makeover show and there"s even a DIY satellite channel.
I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programmes are so popular. Two common sayings in Britain
—" an Englishman"s home is his castle" and "there"s no place like home"-show how important our houses are to
us. With the recent economic downturn, many people can"t afford to buy a bigger house so they are looking
at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY is the perfect choice.
But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were hurt while doing home improvements in
the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off steps and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by tools.
I won"t be going down to the hardware (五金) store. I"d rather watch DIY on TV with a nice cup of tea! | | 1. The underlined phrase "put together" means _____. | A. painted

D. has no plan to do DIY himself | | 阅读理解。 | Anger (生气) is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When you have a lot of homework
to do, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your bike and breaks it, you can
get really angry.
Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe faster, your face turns
red, and you may want to break something or hit someone, but sometimes you hide your anger. For example,
you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach
may hurt.
In fact, it is not good to hide your anger, and it is important for you to get angry sometimes. But anger
must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.
When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It is helpful to talk about your anger with
an adult, such as a parent, a teacher, etc. When you talk about anger, those bad feelings can start to go away.
Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to
100; give someone a hug; go for a bike ride; think about good things, etc.
Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse. Don"t let your
anger control you. | | 1. Which of the following may make us angry? | A. We have a lot of homework.
B. We hide our feeling.
C. We talk with our parents.
D. We count from 1 to 100. | | 2. It is better to _____ when you feel angry. | A. lose your game
B. talk to someone about it
C. hit someone hard
D. hide it in your heart | | 3. We can infer from the passage that it is _____ to get angry. | A. helpful
B. serious
C. wrong
D. normal | | 阅读理解。 | Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime "business
hours" are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week
have become irrelevant (不相关的). A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced dividing
lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries (界限) are
still present, but they seem not clear.
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used
to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week
should strengthen (加强) its legal limits (法律限制), or whether it should become more "practical" is often
discussed. How should we, as a society, arrange our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the
boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we seldom care about the "law of
time" even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number
of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years - but unless we meet the truant officer (督学),
we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom( 习惯) and parents" demand (要求) rather
than to the law. As adults we are used to "extra (额外的) pay for overtime working", but less used to the fact
that "overtime" is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time,
have we ever thought to ourselves; "Here is the law in action"? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has
great influence on how to arrange and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving
law-as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin
to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess (评价). | | 1. What does "in most, it no longer does." in Paragraph 2 mean? | A. Most states require stores to be open on Sunday now.

B. enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C. do not care about the law of time
D. welcome practical working hours | | 3. According to the passage, most children go to school because they _____. | A. need to learn knowledge
B. have to listen to their parents
C. need to make good friends
