They give us the chance to see some sights, have some fun and relax. However, holidays aren’t always a great experience. Follow these tips to make sure you enjoy your holiday. 31 Have you packed your passport? Your tickets? Every year, thousands of people miss flights because they’ve forgotten their passport, they arrive at the airport too late, or even go to the wrong airport. 32 How much do you know about the place you are going to visit? Learning a little about the culture of a country will help you understand the people. Learning a few words of another language can also help you make new friends. 33 Try to reduce the pollution you cause. Travel by train if you can. Flying produces twenty times more carbon dioxide than traveling by train. Of course, it might be impossible to avoid flying, but when you arrive, use buses or trains instead of taxis. 34 You can help a local munity a lot by staying in local hotels and eating in local restaurants. This means that your money will go to local people, rather than to a large international pany. 35 You don’t want to forget your holiday. Make a scrapbook-a book of memories-about your holiday. You can show it to friends, or just use it to remember all the good times you had! And don’t forget the new friends you made on holiday. Did you promise to send them pictures or presents? Don’t forget to do it! Then next time you go on holiday, you can visit them again. A.Remember the environment B.Keep a good memory for your holiday C.Do some research D.Get organized E.Help the local population B Many people say that they are working too many hours, 76 They can’t take care of things at home. They don’t have time to relax. 77 In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese employee(員工)works 513 more hours a year than a French one. That is more than 12 weeks, or three months, of extra(額外的)work! 78 Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many panies don’t pay overtime. Their employees don’t get extra pay for extra work. These people work extra hours because they think it’s their duty. Some people are afraid they will lose their jobs if they don’t work extra hours. 79 In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation. In Germany, they get from four to six weeks. In the United States, two weeks of vacation is the average(平均).In one study in Great Britain, fewer than half of the workers ran out of all their vacation days. 80 If that is true, there will be a lot of dull people in the world. A．In English, people say,“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” B．Work hours are different from one country to another. C．Many people say that their vacations are too short. D．They don’t have enough time with their families. E．Why do people work so many hours? C Humans’ Greatest Achievements The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, but the human race has lived on it for just 200,000 years. In that short time, we have achieved some amazing things. 76 The list is almost endless. The invention of the airplane has changed our lives. The discovery of antibiotics(抗生素) has saved the lives of millions of people. Can you imagine living without electricity? What about the printing press(印刷術(shù))? Without the printing press, you wouldn’t be reading this. In the last 50 years, there have been great achievements in munication, such as radio, TV, puters, the Internet, and smart-phones. 77 What about the arts? The arts have brought pleasure to many people, but are the Beatles and Bach more important than antibiotics? 78 Finally, we must not forget humans’ early achievements. 79 We can’t imagine modern life without cooked food and cars. What are humans’ greatest achievements? To answer the question, we need to decide what we mean by “great”. 80 Or is it just something that makes us say “Wow,” like the Great Wall? What do you think?

D Have you seen the cartoons of two penguins on the Internet? They sit on either side of a small boat. They are friends, but each does something selfish(自私的)which causes their friend “ship” to sink. 53 It shows how much people value friendship and sometimes worry they may lose their friends. 54 A friend is someone to talk to about your deepest feelings.And with a good friend you will never be alone. 55 The key to protecting your friend “ship” from sinking es down to three simple things: sharing, caring and municating. Good friends like to share everything with each other.

E 61 Friends are important in our life, because no one wants to be lonely. However, some people have difficulty in making friends and they often feel lonely. 62 According to new study from Chicago University, the reason is that this kind of people have brain(腦)different from mon people. And they often feel unsafe when facing stranger. Does that mean they have no way to bee happy again? 63 Scientists of this study have thought up ways to help these people deal with their loneliness. They provided four step for getting out loneliness. 64 “It’s not enough for people just to get in touch with others online. That’s because most people don’t show their true selves there,” said Dr.Cacioppo, one of this study’s scientists. Another step is to get an action plan. As”actions speak louder than words”, people need to be active to municate with others. They also need to meet people with the same interests. Also, they should try to expect the best from each activity. 65 Who knows what good things are waiting for us? A. The first step is to accept social invitations even if you don’t want to go.

Who painted one of the most famous pictures in the world? 56 There is an answer to all these questions—Leonardo de Vinci. Leonardo may have been the greatest genius people have ever known. He lived in Italy around the year 1500, but many of his inventions seem modern to us today. For example, one of his notebooks has drawings of a helicopter. 57 But scientists say his idea would have worked. Leonardo wasn’t just an inventor. 58 By the time he was twenty years old, he was called a master painter, and as he got older he became even more famous. Sometimes he drew a hand in ten different ways before he was ready to paint. 59 You may know one of his most famous works—the smiling woman known as the Mona Lisa. A.

She came to China five years ago and is a student at Ningbo University. Now she has 120,000 fans on the Internet and the number is still growing. Lanlan loves China and Chinese. 2 And that’s why she is so well received among Chinese net friends. The following is China in her eyes. “It is the easiest country in which to find a job. If you are not too lazy, it is really very simple to find a job in China. I believe there’re more job chances here than in any other country in the world.” “ 3 About 400 million Chinese are studying English. If they can speak good English in the future, China will have the greatest number of English speakers of any non-English speaking country.” “The speed of Chinese trains is fast. From Ningbo to Beijing, the train runs 1,365 kilometers for seven hours and the ticket fare is only 595 yuan.” “Its public security is great. 4 I have travelled in many countries, and I think China really is very safe.” “There are much more things China should be proud of.

Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with the above sentences. For them, learning a language is a very difficult task. 1 Language learning is different from other kinds of learning. 2 However, some people who are successful language learners find it difficult to succeed in other fields. 3 For example, read as much as you can in the new language; practice speaking the language every day; live with people who speak the language you want to learn; don’t translate-try to think in the new language; learn as a child would learn—play with language and so on. 4 Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways. First of all, successful language learners are independent(獨立的)learners. Secondly, successful language learning is active learning. 5 What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. A. Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose (目的). B. They need hundreds of hours to study and practice, and that will not mean every adult language learner can be successful. C. But what does a successful language learner do? D.

J How Can I Fight Laziness? Lazy people will never achieve anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. 1 Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day. Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overe alone. 2 Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 3 plete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not being dealt with immediately. 4 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and practice their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people. 5 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits. A. To fight family laziness, set an example. B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important. C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep. D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness. E. . Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for the children. K Sometimes, you feel down or unhappy. 1 So if you’re having a bad day and need a boost, then help is just a click away. A website is trying to offer people positive(積極的）messages from strangers to cheer them up. 2 People can present their positive thoughts and feelings to those who are in low spirits here. The website, thenicestplaceontheinter.net, lets people post videos of themselves blowing kisses and leaving positive and encouraging messages to lift visitors spirits. 3 And it is considered to help many people out when they feel low. The well-known artist who lives in San Francisco said he came up with the idea when he and his friend Lauren were having one of those bad days. “We tried to bee cheerful, but none of the usual methods seemed to be working. Not music. Not food. What we hoped was something positive, honest and good. So with only a camera and work-free weekend, we created ‘The Nicest Place On The Internet.” he explained on his website. One user of the site, Joseph Meehan, 27, from Birmingham, said, “It’s a fun and exciting website. I visit every once in a while when I’m missing my friends or family. 4 It may even stop them from doing something stupid. You can also post your video to the website, and they add it to the series. It’s very easy to share the love.” Mr. Lam is now working on a new project. 5 The idea is that strangers send an audio(聲音) diary by leaving a voicemail and then anyone can listen to it. A. The website was created by Jeff Lam. B. It announces to be “the nicest place on the Internet”. C. The project allows people to leave positive voicemails for strangers. D. And it is hard to e back to your high spirit. E. I think it could really be helpful to people that are feeling down or sad. L Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests(客人) with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. 1 But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. 2 Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. 3 Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste es from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. 4 Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. 5 Do not use paper cups. At your school diningroom, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones. To protect our environment and our home, it is very necessary and important for us to save natural resources. A. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. B. Many guests like the idea because they don’t have to bring their own. C. They want to ask people to use less disposable things. D. Then you can use it over and over again. E. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again. M Your brain controls everything you do. It makes it possible for you to think, learn, create and feel; to blink(眨眼) and breathe and for your heart to beat—this fantastic control center is your brain. 1 Can this small grey organ(器官),which weighs less than one and a half kilos, really do so much? Amazingly, your brain contains about 100 billion neurons(神經(jīng)元)—it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all. 2 Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the world. And although one neuron creates only a little electricity, all your neurons together can produce enough electricity to power a light bulb. So exactly how fast does your brain work? 3 Neurons in your skin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240 kilometers per hour. Your brain then uses other neurons to send the message back to your foot to shake the bee off quickly. 4 No puter has your brain’s unbelievable ability to deal with the amount of information ing from your eyes, ears and other sensory organs. But how does your brain allow you to learn things that you will use in the future? The structure(結(jié)構(gòu)) of your brain changes every time you have a new thought, remember or learn something. 5.______ How? As you practice, your brain sends “bike riding” messages again and again. Soon, the actions are learnt and you are able to ride a bike easily from then on. A.Well, ima
