vacations, it can be a c
hallenge to find time for learning. But kids" reading skills don"t have to grow cold once school"s out. Here are some ways to make reading a natural part of their summer fun:
Explore your library. Visit your local library to check out books and magazines that your kids haven"t
seen before. Many libraries have summer reading programs, book clubs, and reading contests for even
the youngest borrowers. With a new library card, a child will feel extra grownup checking out books.
Read on the road. Going on a long car trip? Make sure the back seat is stocked with favori
te reads. When you"re not at the wheel, read the books aloud. Get some audiobooks (many libraries have large
selections) and listen to them together d
uring driving time.Make your own books. Pick one of your family"s favorite parts of summer-whether it"s baseball, ice
cream, or the pool-and have your child draw pictures of it or cut out pictures from magazines. Stick the
pictures onto paper to make a booklet and write text for it. When you"re done, read the bo
ok together. Reread it whenever you like!
Keep in touch. Kids don"t have to go away to write about summer vacation. Even if your family stays
home, they can send postcards to tell friends and relatives about their adventures. Ask a relative to be
your child"s pen pal and encourage them to write each week.
Keep up the reading habits. Even if everything else changes during the summer, keep up the reading
routines around your house. Read with your kids every day-whether it"s just before bedtime or under a
shady tree on a lazy afternoon. And don"t forget to take a book to the beach!Just_brush_the_sand_off_
the_pages-it"s_no_sweat!
B. give advice on raising kids
C. raise a good summer reader
D. suggest places for vacations
B. borrow some audiobooks to listen to
C. keep in touch with friends by sending postcards
D. read your own picture books with your son
B. a special book is needed when you"re reading on the beach
C. one can remove the sand on the book with a brush easily
D. there"s no trouble reading even on the beach

C. Teachers.
D. Editors.

little tolerance for falling in despair.Especially now we"ve got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings-whether
it"s after losing a job, the breakup of a relationship or the death of a loved one.So it"s no surprise that
more and more people are taking them.
But is this really such a good idea? A growing number of voices from the world of mental health
research are saying it isn"t. They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is
playing fast and loose (行为轻率). Sadness, they argue, serves a useful purpose-and if we lose it, we
lose out. Yet many psychiatrists (精神病医生) insist not.Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into
depression (抑郁症), they warn.Even when people are sad for good reason, they should take drugs to
make themselves feel better.
So who is right? Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch?
There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life. It may be a
selfprotection strategy, as other primates (灵长类) also show signs of sadness. A losing monkey that
doesn"t show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey-and
that could result in death.
In humans, sadness has a further function: we may display sadness as a form of communication. By
acting sad, we tell other community members that we need support.
Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods. There are plenty of great artists,
writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder. Scientists find that people with
signs of depression perform better at a creative task, and that negative moods make people think deeply
over the unhappy experience, wh
ich allows creative processes to come to the front. There is alsoevidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career. A doctor found that people who scored
8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s. The
happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them.
B. falling in despair
C. losing a job
D. feeling sad
B. something horrible never to touch
C. a necessary function of humans
D. always to be treated as depression
B. protect themselves
C. comfort the loser
D. challenge the winner
B. unhappy experiences contribute to a greater career
C. too much happiness can be bad for your career
D. the happiest people are the most successful ones
an"s daughter, Lisa Beth, was killed in a summer camp bus accident. Because camp had been such a joy in Lisa Beth"s life,
the Gerstmans wanted to start a foundation in her name. They wanted to bring that same summer camp
joy Lisa Beth felt to other children. When Lisa Beth"s brother, Dan, heard the Cross Island YMCA
(CIYMCA) was looking for funds to help send physically disabled children to summer camp, he knew it
was the perfect way to keep Lisa Beth"s memory alive.
Dan soon learned that many disabled children spent the summer indoors while their ablebodied peers
enjoyed camp. The added costs of onetoone care and specialized busing for the disabled children
prevented them from being able to join in summer camp. The Gerstman family responded to this need
by setting up the Lisa Beth Gerstman Foundation in 2003. Its mission (使命) is to provide children with
physical disabilities the opportunity to attend camps in an integrated (综合的) setting.
During its first summer, the foundation teamed up with CIYMCA and funded 20 physically disabled
kids with varying degrees of disabilities. The children were given the opportunity to experience the joys
of summer camp, build lasting friendships and develop their selfconfidence.
Over the last five years, the Lisa Beth Gerstman Foundation has been partnering with camps that are
willing to launch (发起) integrated programs that include wheelchair accessible transportation, onetoone
swimming instruction, adaptive physical education equipment and training, all in a caring environment
where the children join in all regular camp activities.Last summer, the foundation partnered with six
camps, which allowed a total of 150 physically disabled children to experience summer camp.
B. Lack of enough time
C. No permission from parents.
D. Lack of selfconfidence.
B. To raise money for disabled children.
C. To organize summer camp for different people.
D. To make it possible for disabled children to attend camps.
B. has a history of over 30 years
C. has gained support from camps
D. funded 150 disabled kids during its first summer
物). Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that final year students must develop a timetable. If you don"t have a
schedule or plan for studying ,you will have no way of allocating your valuable time when the unexpected
arises. A well
-thought-out timetable can be a lifesaver . It is up to you to learn how to develop a schedule that meets your needs .Change it if necessary ,but most important ,follow it . All timetables should be made
with the idea that they can be changed. A good one will keep you from wandering off course.
A good timetable should make every hour count-every class ,social event and other activity you engage
in .You must focus on the other "free time" available and how you will use it .Make a weekly schedule and
divided each day into one-hour increments .Indicate times for classes ,socializing ,and work time. Also
block off a period for sleeping every day. In the precious hours left over ,plan time for study .This gives
you a rough road map of the time available. Of course ,you can change your schedule as circumstances
need.
The timetable you develop should guide you in how to distribute the available tim
e in the most productivemanner .Sticking to your schedule can be tough ,but don"t dribble away valuable time. Avoiding study is
the easiest thing in the world .It is up to you to follow the schedule you"ve prepared .A good deal of your
success in high school and with any future study depends on this simple truth.
Remember ,there is a learning curve. You learn the most in the first 30 minutes of study; after that ,it
progressively deteriorates(减弱). After four or five hours of studying the same material in the same way,
you are learning virtually nothing. The solution is to keep switching subjects and study styles.
B．Keep to it ,and you will succeed
C．Make a schedule ,and follow it
D．Learn to love your timetable
B．Significance of a scientific timetable.
C．Requirements for making a timetable.
D．Importance of following one"s schedule.
B．it is flexible
C．it is of many periods
D．it can save our time
B．devote to the same material continuously
C．turn to teachers for help if necessary
D．have a break every thirty minutes
University accommodation(住所)offices
Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords(房东). Others also
provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations.The advantage of using
your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have a problem.The
disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students.
Property papers：Loot and Renting
Loot is an important source( )of information about private housing for corenters.The offers are from
private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other corenters.They also have a website：
www.loot.com.The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains.The disadvantage
is that there is no quality control over the offers.
Renting is another useful paper.The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies.
Their website is at www.renting.co.uk.
Accommodation agencies
The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation
agencies.The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number
of accommodations.A good agent will listen to your requirement and can save you time in looking for the
right accommodation.The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.
Noticeboards
Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be
posted.These will either be from landlords or from students.Some universities will also have online
noticeboards where students can advertise to other students.Advertisements from students can be an
excellent way to find accommodation.However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.
Word of mouth
Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students
to another by word of mouth.It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students.
However, don"t suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.
Family
Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider
buying as an alternative.In some cases this might be a good choice.
1. What is the advantage of using Loot?
A. It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.

4. For students going to London for the first time, which of the following provides the most reliable

granted, we often don"t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number
of people, 1 .
Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”. In all cases, two
people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between
them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly.
At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to
know people, 2 . Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have
a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.
Then, 3 . Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than
ordinary friends. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the
wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty making friends. A friendly look with a wrong facial
expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness.
Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the
same ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests. The more closely involved people become, the
more they depend on each other. And 4 . Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each
other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinions.
In contrast with marriage, 5 . But the support and understanding that results from shared
experiences and affections does seem to create a close and lasting relationship.
A. we are usually friends with only a few
B. many factors can affect friendship and relationship
C. people want to do friends favors and hate to let them down
D. argument and discussion can improve personal relationships
E. we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, etc.
F. we pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks
G. there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people
