    Going to the park with your family is a time-honored tradition during the warmer months whether you live in the city or in a rural area. The most common thing for kids to do at the park is to play on the playground equipment. This is great for kids. For parents, however, playground time is something not quite as exciting. It’s nice to socialize with other parents and enjoy watching the little ones at play, but grown-ups can’t easily participate in the playground fun. In order to make the most of spring and summer park trips parents might want to consider trying a few new activities.
    Soft Frisbees and balls are great things to bring to the park and enjoy with kids. Parents can participate in playing catch. They can enjoy the fresh air and physical activity together. Other lawn games and toys like badminton can easily be taken to the park for an afternoon of fun.
    If it is a breezy day, it might be just perfect for flying a kite. Kite flying is a wonderful family fun activity. Children who are too small to fly a kite themselves can have fun chasing it and helping older siblings hold the string. Slightly older children can enjoy learning to fly kites. Teens and parents can enjoy the challenge of making kites. Best of all, kites are inexpensive and can be used in almost any open space on a breezy day.
    After these, the first thought might be to head home for a meal or a snack. However, bringing a snack or having a picnic can add an exciting element to the day out and can allow the family to enjoy more park time together. Everyday foods like sandwiches and apples can be very appetising. If you decide to pack a picnic, just remember to bring bags for any garbage you might produce!

    A．There is no equipment for them.
    B．They can’t interact with each other.
    C．They can’t easily enjoy the fun.
    D．They have to watch their kids.
    小题2:What does the underlined word “appetising” in the last paragraph probably mean?
    A．Convenient.B．Delicious.
    C．Expensive.D．Terrible.
    小题3:What can the smallest kids do with kites?
    A．Make a kite.B．Fly a kite.
    C．Watch a kite.D．Chase a kite.
    小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．The benefits of parents playing with children.
    B．Suitable weather for playing in the park.
    C．Activities parents can do with their children in the park.
    D．Kite flying during spring and summer.

    小题1:C
    小题2:B
    小题3:D

    Who is your role model? Normally the answer to this question would be anyone around you who you find truly inspiring. It could also be someone like J. K. Rowling or Martin Luther King Jr. who have proven to be strong and intelligent people.
    However, in today's world, stars are regarded as role models along with the heroes listed above, despite their intentions or actions. Teens attempt to imitate their actions for two major reasons. First, to be fashionable and accepted by popular culture, and second»because stars' actions are so well documented by the media that it seems to grab our attention and turns it to following stars' lives. Much of the reports about stars is shocking and exhibits bad morals or lifestyles that aren't right for teenagers. In addition, almost everything stars do is described beyond truth to make a shocking story by taking it to the next level.
    However, teens must take responsibility for their actions. We can't always blame stars for influencing us. Only you have control over yourself and only you choose to do something. Our bodies and actions are in the hands of no one else.
    Now, who ever said stars are role models? Whether they choose to be or not, stars set examples as soon as they step into the spotlight. With reporters following and recording every move they make, it is impossible not to be watched and then be imitated. These people influence, teens whether or not they want to. Why should someone who doesn't want to be setting an example set one? So，should we look up to them or to people who are true and good role models? It's our responsibility as teens to know right from wrong, and it's time for us to take responsibility for our actions. In doing so，we will lean toward those inspiring people that want to be setting an example, and follow in their steps to be like them. 
    小题1:According to the first paragraph, _____can usually be role models.
    A．political leaders
    B．wealthy writers
    C．people inspiring others
    D．people with great intelligence
    小题2:What are the major reasons for the teens to imitate stars? _____.
    A．Interest in stars' life and expectation of getting rich
    B．Motivation for being fashionable and inspiration from popular examples
    C．Intentions to gain acceptance and encouragement from stars' lifestyle
    D．Desires to be stylish and great influence from the mass media
    小题3:The author writes the passage mainly to advise the teenagers to_____.
    A．have a control over their own bodies and actions
    B．be responsible for their own choices and behaviors
    C．follow fashionable stars' steps to be more popular
    D．choose right role models according to different reports
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that  .
    A．stars have the responsibility for teenagers' actions
    B．not all famous stars choose to influence teenagers
    C．teenagers choose those inspiring people as their role models
    D．stars set examples immediately they stepped into the spotlight

    Jean's father was a farm plane pilot in the little farming community in Northern California where she was raised, and _36_Jean was totallyattracted by airplanes and flying.
    In her senior year of high school, her English teacher was Mrs. Dorothy Slaton. Mrs. Slaton was a _37_, demanding teacher with high standards and a low _38_ for excuses. She refused to treat her students like _39_, instead expecting them to behave like the _40_ adults they would have to be to succeed in the real world after graduation. Jean was _41_ of her at first but grew to respect her firmness and fairness gradually.
    One day Mrs. Slaton gave the class a written _42_. "What do you think you’ll be doing 10 years from now?” Jean’s dream was to be a pilot like her father, but as the years went by, she had been beaten down by the _43_ and negative words she got whenever she talked about her career, so she unwillingly gave it up and wrote something else. Mrs. Slaton collected the papers and nothing more was said. Two weekslater, the teacher handed back the assignments, _44_ the students to face it down on the desk, and asked this question: "If you had enough finances and unlimited _45_, what would you do? Please write it on the _46_ of your previous assignment paper.”
    When the students stopped writing, the teacher asked, "How many of you wrote the same thing on _47_ sides of the paper?" Not one hand went up.
    The next thing that Mrs. Slaton said changed the course of Jean’s life. The teacher leaned forward _48_ her desk and said, "I have a little secret for you all. You do have _49_ abilities and talents. You do have access to the finest schools, and you can arrange plenty of finances if you want something _50_ enough. This is it! When you leave school, _51_ you don’t go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have _52_ you want if you want it enough.”
    What her teacher said touched Jean so much! In the following years, she tried her best to realize her dream of becoming a pilot. Although it didn’t happen _53_, she finally became one of the first three female pilot trainees ever _54_ by United Airlines. Today, Jean Harper is a Boeing 737 captain.
    It was the power of one well-placed _55_ word that gave that uncertain young girl the strength and faith to pursue her dream.

    Laws to stop tigers, camels, zebras and snakes being used as performing animals in circuses have been announced by the government.
    The environment minister, Jim Paice, hoped the laws would be brought in before the end of the parliament in 2015, which is the main law-making institution of the UK. At present between 35 and 50 wild animals are thought to be used by circuses in England and Defra offered to help find new homes for the retired performers.
    The announcement follows a campaign by animal charity organization for the ban (禁令), which became worse when a video appeared last year of a circus elephant being beaten by a worker. Campaigners were angry when Paice previously announced tougher licensing instead.
    Circus Mondao, whose website shows zebra and camels, said it would probably challenge the suggested ban. The circus is a member of the European Circus Association, which previously challenged Austria's ban, saying there was no scientific evidence (证据) that the animals were harmed by the travelling or conditions. On its website, Mondao says that when it travels animals are the last to be loaded and the first to be unloaded; they are moved to tents within an hour of arriving, and are usually moved 20-50 miles.
    Animal charities welcomed the move, but called for ministers to speed up the laws. Asked why circuses would be banned from keeping wild animals but not domestic animals such as horses, a Defra spokesman said a key difference was that domesticated animals were more used to conditions such as travelling. "Wild animals aren't domesticated: we feel it's not right ethically (伦理上) for wild animals to perform," he said.
    小题1:What is the proper order of the following events ?
    a. Tougher licensing was announced by the environment minister.
    b. A campaign for a ban was launched by an animal charity.
    c. Laws were announced by the government.
    d. The suggested ban was challenged by Circus Mondao.
    A．b, d, c, aB．c, b, a, dC．b, a, c, dD．c, a, d, b
    小题2:According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?
    A．Retired performers are taken good care of in their new homes.
    B．The environment minister expected to introduce the law during the present parliament.
    C．Austria’s ban has been seriously challenged by all the European circuses.
    D．Animal charities were not satisfied with the suggested laws at all.
    小题3:“Domestic animals ” are probably      .
    A．animals that provide meat for people
    B．animals that are introduced from other countries
    C．animals that are well trained by a circus
    D．animals that live on farm or in people’s home

    One potential problem with allowances is that children’s responsible behavior can become about earning the allowance rather than the intrinsic(固有的)value of their family responsibilities. For example, if you pay your children for taking out the rubbish, they see this chore (家务事) as a job that they should be rewarded for instead of a responsibility they must fulfill as part of the family. But giving children an allowance for weekly chores is not necessarily bad. You are rewarding them for fulfilling their family responsibilities, but it is not for a specific act. It is an appreciation of their commitment to your family values. You are also conveying another important message that their actions have consequences: if they do good things, good things happen. They also learn a lesson about the market economy, namely that work is rewarded.
    Allowances can also be used as punishment and to teach children lessons about family values. For example, if your children join a group of kids smashing (砸碎) pumpkins on Halloween, a part of a reasonable punishment might be to require them to pay the families out of their allowance to replace the pumpkins. Thus, your children learn that bad behavior has financial consequences. Meanwhile, by relating the punishment to the misdeed, you ensure that your children see the connection and learn the value lesson.
    How much allowance should you pay your children? The precise amount depends on your family’s financial situation, the cost of living and your children’s needs. Children can start to earn a weekly allowance as early as 5 years of age. An increase of $ 1 per week for each year of your children’s lives is realistic until they reach their mid-teens. When they begin to drive and date, you can calculate their expenses and establish a reasonable allowance that covers their needs.
    小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that giving allowance to children may____________.
    A．lead to children’s preference for money rather than anything else
    B．lead to children’s preference for earning money on their own
    C．cause the problem that children value money more than responsibilities
    D．cause children to earn money instead of going to school
    小题2:When your children join a group of kids smashing pumpkins on Halloween, ___________.
    A．you should give them some allowances to pay for the pumpkins
    B．they should be rid of their opportunity to celebrate Halloween
    C．you should ensure your children see the connection with their lessons
    D．they should face the consequence of losing their own money
    小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that_____________.
    A．the author doesn’t want to give any tips on the allowance amount
    B．allowances given to children of different ages may vary
    C．children under 6 can’t be given any allowance
    D．the allowance amount grows depending on the amount other children receive

    Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you don't understand the culture behind it.
    　　 For example, if an American boy asks his mother what's for dinner tomorrow, she may say "I'll play it by ear", that means she doesn't have plans for dinner and she will decide later. "Play by ear" used to mean playing music using the sheet music, but now people often use it when they're not talking about music.
    　　 There're many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, "Give me a hand", you don't necessarily stretch out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? It's not about the color of your hand! You're a green hand when you are very new at your work and don't have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two definitely work together very well.
    　　 Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body?
    小题1:An idiom is _______.
    A．a phrase or a sentence that means exactly what the words say
    B．a phrase or a sentence that doesn't mean exactly what every word says
    C．so difficult that nobody can understand
    D．something to do with parts of your body
    小题2:If a mother says "I'll play it by ear" to talk about the dinner, she means _______.
    A．she will cook dinner while listening to music at the same time
    B．she doesn't hear what others are talking about.
    C．she will play music using the sheet music instead of cooking dinner
    D．She doesn't have plans for dinner and will decide later
    小题3:When one says "Can you give me a hand?", he means _______.
    A．he needs to hold your hand.
    B．he works well with you
    C．he needs your help
    D．he is a new comer and can't help with the situation
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．People use English idioms more in spoken English than in written English.
    B．To understand the culture behind an idiom is important in understanding the idiom.
    C．Idioms make your English more vivid and colorful so they are easy to remember.
    D．You may not understand an idiom even though you know the meaning of each word.
    小题5:Here are 4 common English idioms to do with parts of your body and their meanings. Can you match them?
    　　1) to learn something by heart a. to depend on oneself
    　　2) to have sticky fingers b. to know something very well
    　　3) to stand on one's own feet c. to do something secretly
    　　4) to go behind someone's back d. to have the habit of stealing

    Sometimes doing something for yourself - even shopping--can give others a lift. That's the case at charity shops and non-profit stores such as Ten Thousand Villages which helps provide skilled workmen with money in developing countries.
    Their handicrafts(手工艺品) are sold throughout North America in 180 stores, 95 of them operated by Ten Thousand Villages.
    "People come into the store because we have a lot of interesting things, but then they're drawn to us by the mission(慈善的行动) ," says organization spokeswoman Juanita Fox.
    "It just feels good to be making a difference when you're buying something."
    In the Alexandria, Virginia shop, generals display windows draw you in. They are filled with practical, attractive home furnishings in blue and white, all international in mood.
    Once inside though, it's clear that this isn't just another import store. On the wall behind the cash register is the following note:
    "Ten Thousand Villagers provides necessary, fair income to Third World people by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories in North America. Your Buying Makes a Difference. "
    The store was opened in 1994 as part of a network of shops across the USA run by the Mennonite Church, which is based in Akron, Pennsylvania.
    Currently, 60,000 skilled workmen from 32 countries provide goods to the stores, with all proceeds (收益) re-invested in the organization.
    Management of the Alexandria shop is overseen by an all-volunteer board of directors. More than 40 additional volunteers help doing everything from working the register to unpacking stock.
    Maria Yannopoulos got involved after visiting a store and getting to know another volunteer. "Since we are non-profit, we are really looking for value because the more we sell, the more jobs we can create. Giving someone job rather than charity helps in so many ways. "
    小题1:The underlined part "give others a lift" in the first paragraph means ______.
    A．offer other a ride in a car
    B．take others up and down in another floor
    C．make others think of plans
    D．make others more pleased
    小题2:A large number of people visit Ten Thousand Villagers because _______.
    A．they are fond of traveling around
    B．they can find something interesting
    C．they can enjoy the wonderful foods
    D．they want to learn how to farm in the fields
    小题3:What can we learn from the note mentioned in this passage?
    A. Goods sold at Ten Thousand Villages are expensive.
    B. Stories about Ten Thousand Villages are interesting.
    C. What the purpose of the shop is.
    D. Goods from the Third World are better than those from the USA.
    小题4:From the last paragraph we can learn that ________.
    A．American volunteers like to run shops
    B．American shops are mostly operated by volunteers
    C．Volunteers often offer goods to their friends as presents
    D．Shopping can also be a kind of charity

    It has been found that less than one shopper in five makes a complete shopping list before going to the store. The reason for this is that seven out of ten of today’s purchases(购买) are decided in the store, where the shoppers tend toward impulse(冲动) buying. Buying groceries on impulse had risen for the past forty years, and this rise has coincided(巧合) with the growth of self-service shopping. However, in grocery stores where clerks wait on customers there is much less impulse buying. It is hard for people to buy on impulse if they have to address a clerk.
    Psychologists have joined forces with merchandising(商品) experts. It is their job to persuade people to buy products which they may not need or even want until they see them attractively presented. It was discovered by the psychologists that shoppers want help in their purchases. Having so many choices confuses them, and they prefer the package that attracts them. Therefore, it is now more usual for food packers to pay attention to their package design. Attraction depends heavily on the position of the product on the shelf, however. Thus, persuading the shopper to buy is easier if the product is located at eye-level.
    小题1:According to the information in the first paragraph, ______ make a complete list.
    A．only five shoppersB．less than twenty percent of the shoppers
    C．only ten percent of the shoppersD．not even five percent of the shoppers
    小题2:The reason for the above mentioned phenomenon is that _______.
    A．people have difficulty making up their mind before going shopping
    B．people don’t know what is available in the store
    C．people tend to decide on buying products when they see them
    D．people are easily deceived(欺骗) by the attractive products
    小题3:In grocery stores where customers are served there is less impulse shopping. This may be because ________.
    A．the clerks ignore the customers
    B．the clerks are too eager to serve the customers
    C．the stores have to send the shopper’s purchases to his house
    D．customers hesitate to ask for help if they haven’t decided what to buy
    小题4:Shoppers tend to buy the products put on _______.
    A．the top shelfB．the bottom shelf
    C．the shelf which people can see easilyD．the shelf where there is less confusion
    小题5:Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
    A．Psychologists and Merchandising Experts.B．Impulse Buying.
    C．The more Products the More Confusion.D．Self-service Shopping.
