An enjoyable English language learning experience——together with organized sports, activities and excursion (外出游学) program.
International Summer School runs 3 different summer school centers for boys and girls aged from 8-21 years in the South of England. Our schools are chosen for their location, accommodation and excellent sporting and art facilities.
International Summer School has grown increasingly popular and attracts high student numbers each summer. We have many students and staff who return each year. Our courses are personal and of high quality. Students can surely have an exciting and enjoyable experience while improving their English at the same time.
Bethany Centre is situated in the heart of Kent in the beautiful countryside, very close to the village of Goudhurst, with its old fashioned shops and cafes, and Marden with its direct train route to central London. The historic large town of Tunbridge Wells is only 15 minutes away. Gatwick and Heathrow airports are easily accessible, as are Eurostar International Stations at Ashford and Ebbsfleet.
Moira House is based in Eastbourne on the south coast of England in the much favored Meads area of the town, within walking distance of the seafront and town centre. Gatwick Airport is about half an hour’s drive away and Heathrow around 40 minutes.

【题目】 Participation in sports benefits health, encourages self-discipline, and develops character and teamwork. The positive effects of sport are well-known: improved body system and muscular fitness lower risk of obesity and depression, and an increased life quality. 【1】
Here is one-sports addiction. It may sound contradictory, because we usually reserve the word “addiction” for things that are bad for us, such as drug abuse or alcoholism.【2】Caused by the release of “happiness hormones(荷尔蒙)” after exercising, you can feel really “high” and be hooked on this feeling, which, like those produced by illegal drugs and alcohol, can be habit-forming.
Sports addiction is not taken seriously by everyone, though.【3】Sports addiction is, however, real and harmful.
Sport addicts share many symptoms with other sorts of addicts.【4】This is because they don't give them the chance to recover from working out. They have been so addicted to sports that they don't take time to recover from injuries. Chances of heart attacks and passing out increase, so sports addicts can put themselves at serious risk of harm.
【5】They become dependent on training for feeling good, and life away from training becomes dull. They can also develop tolerance to the “high”, and so need more and more exercise to get the same result. And when not exercising, they experience withdrawal effects, depression and anxiety.
A.They harm their bodies.
B.It may lead to physical injuries.
C.“There're worse things to be addicted to,” some people disagree.
D.Meanwhile, sport addicts may suffer withdrawal symptoms as well.
E.But there really is a sense in which you can become addicted to exercise.
F.Apart from physical damage, sport addicts suffer psychological damage too.
G.Based on all this good news, one might wonder whether there is any drawback.

【题目】 We spend 40 hours of our adult lives a week working, not including the time to and from the office. So it’s no surprise we become really good friends with our colleagues. We spend most of our time with them, after all. But times have changed and the way we talk to one another is ever-developing.
Now, many companies have internal instant messaging systems so that there’s less need to get up and walk round to speak to our colleagues. Emails fly around with numerous teams copied in, so everyone is in the loop (圈子). But what is the value of face-to-face conversation in the workplace?
New Zealand’s most admired wine brand. Villa Maria, knows the importance of conversation and how good communication can help strengthen a business from the inside out. Its newly launched campaign, called the Value of Conversation, explores what British people value the most about a face-to-face chat and how engaging with each other in person can make a difference in all areas of their lives.
Although nearly 1 in 5 British people find a quick email more efficient in their work, they still value the importance of speaking to their colleagues in real life and hearing their ideas, taking away any uncertainty and giving the opportunity for discussion. This is perhaps why, despite mostly preferring emails, nearly three-quarters of British people believe that speaking to people directly leads to better communication and improving work results.
Obviously, 85% of the people at the age of 18-24 believe that if someone is positive and confident during face-to-face conversations, it’s an indicator that they’re good at their job. So perhaps putting in a little extra effort to face-to-face conversations will pay dividends. If having a conversation in person could help you keep a pay rise, then it’ll be worth.
【1】What makes the ways of the communication among office colleagues change?
A.The order from their bosses.B.The laziness of the colleagues
C.The convenience of using emails.D.The preference to doing work alone.
【2】What is Villa Maria’s attitude towards face-to-face communication?
A.Doubtful.B.Positive.
C.Negative.D.Sympathetic.
【3】Why do many British people still like speaking to others directly while working?
A.It can improve the relationship with others.
B.It can save them much time.
C.It can make people communicate more easily than sending emails.
D.It can contribute to better communication and improving work results.
【4】What does the underlined phrase “pay dividends” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Get rewards.B.Pay salaries.
C.Learn lessons.D.End relationships.

In my life I have met many people who really worth recalling. But perhaps the most unforgettable person is my Chinese teacher. He gave us the best gift the teacher can offer: a passion for learning. He not only taught me to appreciate the beauty of Chinese literature, but also arouse our interest in exploring something deeper. Beside, I was attracted by his lively teach style. We were always longing for his class with great eager because his lectures were humorously delivered. Finally, I was deeply impressed by the respect he showed for us, for he treated us like friend rather than, students.

【题目】 Michelle Obama’s autobiography, Becoming is on track to become the most successful memoir (回忆录) in modern publishing history, selling more than 10m copies to date, as life after the White House continues to prove commercial gold for brand Obama.
Thomas Rabe, chief executive of the German media group Bertelsmann, said the title was the book giant’s biggest success of the last year. “We believe that these memoirs could well become the most successful memoir ever,” he said.
Penguin Random House won a bidding war for the rights to Barack and Michelle Obama’s autobiographies in 2017, paying more than $ 65 million, a record for US presidential memoirs.
Becoming has been a global sales juggernaut since being launched in 31 languages in mid-November. The audio-book (有声读物), read by the former first lady, has become the fastest-ever seller put out by Penguin Random House.
Obama has been promoting her memoir with a hugely popular global tour. Her tour has also taken in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Paris and Amsterdam as well as the US and Canada.
Tickets for her first live appearance in the UK, at the Royal Festival Hall in December, sold out in minutes. Overall UK sales of Obama’s book currently stand at more than 600,000, ranking it 11th on the list of the best selling memoir and biographies since sales records began in 1998, according to Nielsen BookScan.
While Becoming is proving a modern bestseller, it has some way to go to match the lifetime performance of The Diary of Anne Frank, which was first published in English in 1952 and is estimated to have sold more than 35m copies in 65 languages.
Life beyond the US presidency has proved profitable for the Obamas. Last year the former president and first lady struck a deal with Netflix to produce TV series and films for the streaming service.
【1】What can we infer from Paragraph One to Paragraph Three?
A.Becoming is the most successful memoir in the publishing history.
B.Becoming is the most popular book released by Penguin Random House.
C.Michelle Obama’s autobiography gains its best sales in the UK.
D.Penguin Random House won the right for publication with its highest price for US presidential memories.

A.giantB.controller
C.leaderD.operator
【3】What does the text mainly talk about?
A.President Obamas' autobiographies.B.The influence of Michelle Obama.
C.Barack and Michelle Obama.D.A modern bestselling memoir.

【题目】 Hetty Robinson learnt all about money when very young. As a child, she read the financial pages of the newspaper to her rich father. Her father died when Hetty was 30, and she inherited $1 million. When she herself died in 1916, she left almost $100 million to her two children.
Hetty made her money on the New York stock exchange. She was a financial genius. She made money so easily that people called her the Witch of Wall Street. But although she was one of the richest women in the world, she counted every cent and spent as little as possible. She didn’t own a house, because she didn’t want to pay property taxes. So she and her children lived in cheap hotels.
She spent almost nothing on clothes, and always wore the same long black dress. She washed it herself, but to save soap she only washed the bottom of the dress, where it touched the ground. Other people had their own offices, but Hetty used a desk in the bank where she kept her money, because it didn’t cost anything. She sat in the bank and ate her sandwiches while she bought and sold stocks and shares. If the bank complained, she just moved all her money to another bank.
Hetty’s family paid the price for her meanness. When she was 33 she married a millionaire, Edward Green, and they had two children. But Green lost all his money, so she left him. When her son, Ned, injured his knee, Hetty didn’t want to pay for a doctor, so she took him to a free hospital for poor people. Unfortunately the doctor knew Hetty was rich and he asked for money. Hetty refused and took the boy away. His leg got worse and two years later doctors removed it.
But eventually Ned got his revenge. At the age of 81 Hetty had an argument with a shop assistant about the price of a bottle of milk. She became so angry that she had a heart attack and died. So Hetty’s meanness finally killed her. Ned inherited half his mother’s fortune, and he spent it all on parties, holidays and expensive jewellery.
【1】What fact can be learned about Hetty Robinson from the passage?
A.She came from a poor family.B.She worked for a bank.
C.She was nice to her son.D.She died from extreme anger.
【2】Hetty Robinson was called the Witch of Wall Street mainly because ________.
A.she was fond of reading financial pages of the newspaper
B.she made a huge fortune easily through stocks and shares
C.she liked wearing the same long black dress every day
D.she turned out to be the richest woman in New York
【3】Which of the following best describes Hetty Robinson?
A.Talented but not generous.B.Wealthy and kind.
C.Aggressive but not diligent.D.Curious and lucky.
