When many of us take a vacation, more than anything, we seek to relax. We spend long, lazy days on a beach chair or in a hammock (吊床). But too often, we return home, very very tired.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Come home refreshed after an active trip! And you won’t be too tired!
Active vacations are often the most relaxing ones of all. We don’t expect you to take up jogging or backpacking. Rather, we ask the sedentary (惯于久坐不动的) vacationers to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking in city streets, going to a zoo or biking beside the ocean.
These kinds of activities aren’t just good for your physical health. They improve your mental health and even your spiritual health. And they make vacations memorable and worthwhile.
Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy.
◆A walk at dawn or dusk can make you feel or look young again. Try to make this a daily thing that is done regularly.
◆Don’t allow yourself to spend all your time sitting in front of the water.
◆Many of us spend a large part of our vacations on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great memorable vacations don’t happen in a car seat.
1. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the relationship between vacations and health.
B. To show us how to make our vacations relaxing.
C. To tell us where we should go for our vacations.
D. To explain to us why vacations can sometimes be boring.
2.What does the underlined word "refreshed" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. In low spirits. B. Pleasant or cool.
C. Feeling less tired. D. Feeling regretful.
3.In the last paragraph, the author seems to advise us .
A. to go on vacation by car
B. not to spend too much time on the road
C. to go camping to get close to the nature
D. to get out of the car for sightseeing

A Bite of China is a serious documentary providing a unique view of Chinese as well as the relations between people and food and between people and society from the perspective of food.
The touching documentary reminds some people of their mother, and makes some realize that every grain comes from hard work. Some people see patriotism (爱国主义) in the documentary, and some consider it a great cultural export.
“It is not empty propaganda (宣传) about China’s splendid food culture. Instead, it shows the techniques used in making food and their production process as well as the lives of ordinary people, thus striking a chord (共鸣) with the audience, ”an Internet user said. The success of the documentary should be attributed to sincerity and reality.
It is said sarcastically that Americans like to shoot sci-fi films because they have no history, while Chinese like to shoot time-travel dramas to the past because they have no future. It has set people thinking. Works that are created behind closed doors and fail to reflect reality or that only focus on the luxury lives of a few people and ignore ordinary people’s desire for enough food and clothing will not touch people’s hearts, and they will be no use whether traveling to the past or the future.
A Bite of China shows that a commercial documentary promoting patriotism can be full of touching details, that the emotions of ordinary Chinese people should be exhibited even in publicizing China overseas, and that even a completely commercial program can achieve both artistic and commercial success.
“We made this documentary with our respect and love for food, ”said director Chen Xiaoqing. Being sincere is the most important thing for artists because they cannot move others unless they themselves are first moved, and cannot convince others unless they themselves are first convinced. Sincerity is the “secret” for making this documentary so popular, and every cultural creator should learn from its success.
1.What is not the feature of A Bite of China from Paragraphs 1 and 2?
A. Showing relations between people and food and between people and society.
B. Making people realize every grain comes from hard work.
C. Not only providing delicious food but also making people see patriotism.
D. Touching many mothers who can do some cooking.
2.How was Paragraph 4 written?
A. Giving an example. B. Comparing.
C. Narrating. D. Introducing.
3.What’s the secret for making this documentary so popular and successful?
A. Beauty. B. Delicious taste.
C. Interest. D. Sincerity.
4.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Why is A Bite of China so popular?
B. Why is A Bite of China made into a film?
C. The process of making A Bite of China.
D. A Bite of China witnesses patriotism.

Trust has been considered as the basis of any relationship, including friendship. No relationship can last long with a lack of trust. Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe. 1. . Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone. However, how do we know if our friends have faith in us?
_2._. With whom will you share things that you don't want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend, whom you trust as much as you trust yourself. While a few of your friends may be fiercely protective of their privacy and may not tell their secrets to anyone, those who do, surely find you trustworthy and reliable.
Whom do you look up to for advice when you need it the most? It has to be either your parents or your friends. 3. . This is a shining example of trust. You only seek advice from people you hold in high regard and find dependable. The friends who trust you will never forget to include you in the important decisions of their life.
Arguments and heated discussions are a part of every relationship, and this is also true for friendship. 4. . While some people find it difficult to forgive and forget, your friends will never have problems moving on. It is because they trust you and believe that you will never cause any pain to them on purpose.
There are times in life when you find yourself a lonely soldier. 5. . Your friends will never let you down and will strongly stand for you when you need encouragement. You can determine that they trust you and believe in your beliefs, if they side with you when you need them the most.
A．People can be extraordinarily jealous sometimes
B．You know they will never pass on a wrong suggestion
C．In fact, winning trust is, by far, the most challenging aspect of relationships
D．Two people cannot have identical reactions to a situation and different opinions do exist

Are you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that things generally turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may be successful at work and in love.
But you may be misguided because things don't turn out for the best. You may believe that when on door closes another one opens(for example, you may fail to obtain a new job; another chance will come around soon). Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams(砰然关上)in your face. That's bitter reality.
Now a book has been published which confirms what pessimists(悲观者)have suspected all along. it's called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for the tings by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “What's interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situation's outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.”
So far，so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Don't put all your eggs in one basket.”
And “Don't count your chickens until they hatch.” To have a confident and optimistic approach to life's problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien, the American comedian says ,”Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”
There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Don't feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.
1.What's the passage mainly about?
A. A book that has recently been published.
B. How to become successful in life
C. The dangers of being too optimistic.
D. The benefits of defensive pessimism.
2.The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science”(Para.4)means ______.
A. it's not a dangerous thing to do
B. it is quite simple to understand
C. the cost is not so high
D. there is no real proof
3.Which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe?
A. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
B. The glass is half full not half empty.
C. Whatever will be, will be.
D. Every cloud has a silver lining.
4.The writer would probably describe himself as ______.
A. an optimist B. a defeatist
C. a realist D. a scientist
