Visitors worry that London is an expensive city but there really are so many free things to do here. The following ideas should get you started.

All of London's major museums are free, but most offer some special exhibitions for a fee. My favorite is the Museum of London where you can learn the history of London from Roman times to today. And I love the Geffrye Museum which shows English domestic interiors(内务) and helps bring to life what it was really like to live in London.

I regularly hear people tell me the Queen Mary's Rose Gardens in Regent's Park is their favorite spot in London, and who am I to argue? I would also recommend St. James's Park as it offers one of the best views of Buckingham Palace. Hyde Park is enormous(巨大的) and Kensington Gardens nearby includes the ever popular Diana Memorial Playground and the Peter Pan Statue.

No visit to London is complete without seeing this military tradition. The Queen's Guard in London changes in the Forecourt inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11.30am every day in the summer and every other day in the winter. Get there early and view the spectacle(壮观的场面) from outside the front gates.

Trafalgar Square is one of Britain's greatest visitor attractions and was designed by John Nash in the 1820s and constructed in the 1830s. This iconic square has many sights to see including Nelson's Column and the National Gallery. It is both a tourist attraction and the main focus for political demonstrations. Every December, Norway donates a marvelous(非凡的) Christmas tree, to thank Britain for liberation from the Nazis.

1.Where can visitors find the Peter Pan Statue?

A. in Regent's Park.B. in St. James's Park.

C. in Hyde Park.D. in Kensington Gardens.

2.Which of the following descriptions is True?

A. In the Geffrye Museum visitors can learn the history of London from Roman times to today.

B. The Queen Mary's Rose Gardens is in Buckingham Palace.

C. There is the Queen's Guard change inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11.30 am every day all year around.

D. Trafalgar Square is both a tourist attraction and a place for political demonstrations.

3.The writer wrote the passage to ________.

A. compare some free places in London

B. advertise some free places in London

C. recommend some free places in London

D. expose some free places in London

I have just got some good news to tell to you. I win a national prize for painting last week. My father was so pleasing that he suggested I go to England for a holiday. I’d like to staying there for half a month, visiting place of interest or practicing my English as well. We’ve been writing to each for nearly a year now. I have often dreamed of talk face by face with you. I imagine you’ll be on vacation yourself by that time. Perhaps I could go out to do some sightseeing together.

Best

Not all of us are outgoing and ready to take the world by storm. 1. This usually happens when a person is still in his or her teen years and going through the socialization process. So, what can a person do to overcome this tendency to be awkward. Let’s try to find answers to the questions.

Stay in shape and dress up well

Sometimes, awkwardness could be due to being overweight. When you are large in size, you tend to get very self-conscious. So, in order to avoid this, get into the habit of exercising every day. 2. If you look as if you have just stepped out of a 1980’s film when actually it is 2011, there is no doubt that you are bound to feel awkward about yourself.

Be optimistic

Another effective tip on how not to feel awkward is to always keep a smile on your face. 3. On the other hand, a smiling, happy and positive think person is appreciated by everybody. So, smile when you meet acquaintances or even strangers, say a cheerful “Hi!” and automatically some of your awkwardness will disappear completely!

Participate in team activities

This one really helps. Awkwardness generally develops when a person remains isolated from others. So, in order to change this situation, join groups. 4. Joining people in book reading sessions as well as debates will help remove your awkwardness. Choose any activity of your choice, such as playing team sports or joining a dance class, and soon you will find your comfort level around people increasing day by day!

Develop your personality

Being a book-worm or an Internet addict will not get you anywhere. For self-improvement, take up a hobby that adds meaning to your life. Learn singing or try adventure sports. 5.

A. Learn how to end a conversation.

B. Secondly, have appropriate clothes on.

C. For instance, if you are a reading lover, join a book club.

D. If you look sad, nobody will actually like being with you.

E. Something as simple as listening to music will do wonders too.

F. Many among us are shy and may even feel kept apart from others.

G. Awkwardness could be because you do not have anything in common to talk about.

Dear Editor,

We are students of Senior Three. We are writing to tell you the result of the survey “To Who You Go When in Trouble ” we have had in our class. Sixty percent of the students prefer to turn on their friends or classmates. Because they think they are of same age and can understand each other better. Thirty percent of the students would rather shared their troubles with their teachers or parents. The reason is that why they are of great experienced and can be believed in. Quite a few students who think them difficult to communicate with others, would rather deal with the troubles by themselves. In our opinions, we’d better turn to our parents or teachers with help. Only in this way can we solve the problems successful.

Yours,

Wang Lin

ADAPTIVE ACTION SPORTS

Adaptive Action Sports was founded in 2005 by Amy Purdy and Daniel Gale.

Amy Purdy was an active snowboarder, until she lost both her legs to bacterial meningitis(脑脊膜炎). She spent three months in the hospital fighting for her life, and doctors gave her a less than two percent chance of survival. Because of meningitis Amy lost circulation in both her legs, and when she came out of the hospital she had prosthetic legs(义肢). When she lost her legs, Amy knew she would be active again, but didn’t know how or when. She struggled to be active on her new legs, and a little over two years after her amputation(截肢) she entered the USASA (United States of America Snowboard Association) National Snowboarding Competition and won medals in three events.

Amy was at an adaptive snowboard workshop in 2002 when she met Daniel Gale. They immediately formed a connection through their enthusiasm for snowboarding, music, and art. Amy’s biggest struggle had been obtaining information on how to start snowboarding again with prosthetic legs, and she and Daniel both saw the need to help others like Amy. They “wanted to create something, a place, a forum, an organization that would enable individuals to find and participate in their enthusiasms without a struggle. Adaptive Action Sports was born.”

Their dream was to help athletes with permanent physical disabilities compete in action sports. Adaptive Action Sports holds camps, clinics, and events to create programs and opportunities for these individuals.

Since 2000, the USASA has provided opportunities for adaptive athletes to compete in snowboarding competitions. In 2007, the USASA Competition had 17 adaptive athletes compete, the largest number of adaptive athletes in adaptive athlete competition history. Although many competitors were still injured, they recovered quickly and showed how hard they are willing to push themselves.

1.We know from the text that Amy Purdy lost the ability to ______.

A. help othersB. walkC. obtain informationD. sing

2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. How Adaptive Action Sports was founded.

B. Why Amy and Daniel want to help others.

C. How Amy and Daniel knew each other.

D. What Amy and Daniel’s hobbies are.

3.The underlined words “these individuals” in Paragraph 4 refer to ____.

A. people who love action sports

B. athletes whose bodies can’t work normally

C. people who want to take part in competitions

D. athletes who decide to help disabled people like Amy
