【题目】Balloon Volleyball
It’s a rainy, dark day and there’s nothing to do. You don’t feel like sitting quietly but you are not allowed to make a lot of noise. What can you do for fun? Try balloon volleyball.
Items needed for this game:
·a balloon (or two, in case the first one bursts)
·some ropes
·two chairs
·at least two people and a room
Set up the room. If you’re in the living room, or a family room, be sure to move all the furniture out of the way. Get two chairs and set them in the middle, outer edges(边缘)of the room. They should be at the same place where you put a volleyball net. Turn them so that the seat is facing the wall, not the “playing” space. Tie the rope onto the top of the chair, and run the rest of the rope to the other chair. Now tie it on this chair at the same place as the first chair. You can decide the “out-of-bounds”(出界) lines, if you want to have them, but they really are not necessary in this game.
Blow up the balloon. Choose sides. You will play this game on your knees (at least until they start hurting and you want to stand). Each side must get the balloon over the rope in three hits. If it does not get over, the other side gets the balloon and a point. This game becomes more difficult because you must play without talking.
You can also add other rules to make it more difficult; for example, you can only use your left hand or only your right hand to hit the balloon.
Continue playing until one side gets 10 points. You can make your game longer or shorter by changing the number of points it takes to win.
This is a fun way to get your energy out, have fun, and not make too much noise on a rainy, stay-in-the-house day.
【1】What do we know about the balloon volleyball?
A. One room is enough for it. B. It is played only indoors.
C. It must be played quietly. D. At least two balloons are needed.
【2】What is the function of the chairs in this game?
A. To make the playing area. B. To hold the rope up as the net.
C. For the players to rest during breaks. D. For people to sit and watch the game.
【3】Which of the following rules can make the game harder?
A. Play on knees.
B. Play with a lot of noise.
C. Use only your left hand to hit the balloon.
D. Get the balloon over the rope in three hits.

【题目】The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin's older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.
Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently, "At places where they gather, editors ask one another, ‘How are you?’, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case." An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline "NOT DEAD YET."
Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock (股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock - holders sell off their Times stock.
The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income.
【1】What can we learn about the New England Courant?
A. It is mainly about the stock market.
B. It carries articles by political leaders.
C. It marks the beginning of newspapers.
D. It remains a successful newspaper in America.
【2】What can we infer about the newspaper editors?
A. They often accept readers' suggestions.
B. They care a lot about each other's health.
C. They stop doing business with advertisers.
D. They face great difficulties in their business.
【3】Which of the following found a new way for its development?
A. The Washington Post. B. The Guardian.
C. The New York Times. D. New England Courant.
【4】How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?
A. Satisfied. B. Hopeful. C. Surprised. D. Worried.

【题目】Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents(洲).
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. It is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year.He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document(记录) his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old.
Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that was ready to deal with anything”. He said: “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said: “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.
【1】Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
【2】What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
A. He started traveling at an early age.
B. He was once shot in the arm.
C. His website inspires others a lot.
D. He used to work as a salesman.
【3】What is the best title of the passage?
A. Travel Abroad B. Travel Alone
C. Travel Light D. Travel Wide and Far

【题目】It is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.
How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.
Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.
Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.
【1】What's the meaning of the underlined phrase "freak out" in Paragraph 1?
A. feel shy
B. stay calm

A. can only depend on our parents
