The holidays are the perfect time to take a break. Take a few moments and think about what means the most to you and your family. You probably will find that the things that are the most meaningful are the memories youve shared through the years. What is so impressive about family traditions is that they can be whatever you want them to be, says Sandy Sandler, founder of Crafters 4 Kids. Even if your family never had a special tradition, its fun to start off with a new tradition that you will carry forward. Here are a few ideas for creating great holiday traditions to become part of your own familys holiday celebrations. 1. Create a written record Have everyone write something down before dinner that they are thankful for and read it before starting dinner, Sandler suggests. Giving everyone time to think about this and actually write it down makes it more meaningful and makes people feel more at ease than they would be if they had to think on the spur of the moment. Keep these notes and bring them out on different occasions. Its amazing to see how everyones lives develop from year to year. 2._ When you create holiday traditions for the youngest members of your family, you will be gradually leaving memories in them for years to come. A favorite tradition could be started with close family friends who gather together all the neighborhood kids for a special party before Christmas. Each child could sign their name in Santas Big Book and write down what they want Santa to bring that year. Then magically Santa can appear, take each child on his knee and read aloud what the child has written. 3. Take pictures Sandler also suggests taking pictures of everyone each year at the holiday dinner and then using that picture for the following years place setting. Family pictures always are treasured as presents, too .56. The passage is mainly about _. A. when to make written records B. where to hold holiday celebrations C. what to do to celebrate holidays D. how to create family holiday traditions57. The underlined part on the spur of the moment in the passage probably means _. A. right away B. every now and then C. for a long period of time D. on an improper occasion58. Which of the following can fill the blank in the passage? A. Do it for the kids B. Write Santas Big Book C. Create holiday traditions D. Get friends to bring gifts59. The purpose of carrying out Sandlers suggestions is _. A. to teach your kids some good lessons B. to treasure family pictures as presents C. to get along well with neighbors D. to share good memories of your family【参考答案】5659、DAAD 阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。In June, 2007, a group of students from eight high schools in Winnipeg, the capital of Canadas Manitoba province, will begin test-launching (试发射) a satellite the size of a Rubiks cube.The one-kilogram Win-Cube satellite, named for its home city and its shape, will be put into low orbit.

I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic-and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.

Though some may deeply regret these students dropping out, our schools continue to lack plans to teach motivation. Parents and teachers dont stress the fact that staying in school will help students succeed in life. A recent study by the Department of Education found that 31 percent of American students are dropping out or failing to graduate in the nations 100 largest school districts. From what I can see, many parents are letting their children drop out, which shows that some students do not have enough support or encouragement to continue. It is reported that about 2,500 students drop out of high schools every day. Writer Ruth Wells says, Schools expect youth and children to act as though school is important, but they never teach them to believe that. That is why many students do not feel motivated to stay in school. Since some families are not helping their children become more involved in school, its up to teachers, counselors(顾问) , and youth professionals to provide this training. Researchers say they were surprised to find that a majority of 456 dropouts interviewed were not what most people would consider underachieving troublemakers. One third of the students said they were failing in school, but more than six out of ten were keeping C averages or better when they quit. Almost half said they were bored or that the classwork seemed unrelated. Another dropout said, There wasnt any learning going on; they make you take classes youre never going to use in life. Three out of four said if they could turn the clock back they would choose to stay in school, and eight out of ten said they now recognize that a high school diploma is important to succeeding in life-a lesson learned too late. Teachers need to convince students why they should stay in school. One is to have students name jobs that they can always do without a diploma. This will quickly highlight that jobs with the best pay and benefits require a diploma. There may be students who are happy they dropped out, but it is better to get an education and make the best of life.60. What causes students to drop out of high school? A. They are looked down upon at school. B. They are eager to work before graduation. C. They lack enough support and motivation. D. They can do as well in society with no diplomas.61. According to the passage, most dropouts _. A. reach C averages B. make trouble in class C. fail the exams in school D. begin schooling too late62. Why do most dropouts regret leaving school before graduation? A. They miss previous school life. B. School lessons become more interesting. C. School conditions have improved. D. Their present conditions are unsatisfactory.63. Jobs that dropouts can always do without a diploma are probably _. A. technical ones B. low-paid ones C. unique ones D. high-paid ones【参考答案】6063、CADB 【2014模拟题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中（A、B、C和D），选出最佳选项。News that Microsoft made a $44.6 billion bid to buy Yahoo resulted in heated discussions made by many Internet users. Here are some responses:Diane Burke of Weeks bury, KentuckyI think it would definitely be an interesting combination. Everyone recognizes the names Yahoo and Microsoft, but everyone also says, “Did you Google it?” Such a catchphrase (时髦话) is going to be hard to beat.Shaun Carney of Laurelville, OhioI think the merger (合并) will provide more competitions for Google. I dont think the merger will allow Microsoft to develop faster than Google, though. I believe the increased competition this merger brings will force Google to stay on top of its game by offering more fresh and original Internet tools and expanding on the tools it already offers.Toni Suarez of Hacienda Heights, CaliforniaI view the merger as a necessary element in preventing a monopolization (垄断). Perhaps it would bring better high technology innovations to e-mail and help in researching and developing a better Internet! Rick R. of Edgewater, FloridaIt sounds like a disaster to me. If this were to happen, I would stop using my Yahoo e-mail account because I dont like the feeling of Microsoft spying upon my business. I will sign up for Google.Antonio Glosser of Kansas City, MissouriRight now, Yahoo offers a lot of features and tools at no cost for all different levels of Internet users. Microsoft seeks nothing but profit. Undoubtedly, theyll do nothing other than find ways to start removing Yahoos formerly non-priced features. Microsofts greed will ruin the great thing that Yahoo currently is.33. How many companies are mentioned in the passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.34. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Shauns attitude towards Google is passive.B. Toni believes the Internet will have a promising future.C. Rick will support Google after the merger.D. Antonio is afraid that the merger will cost Yahoos free features.35. The passage is mainly about _.A. opinions on the merger of Yahoo and MicrosoftB. the strengths of Yahoo and MicrosoftC. the strengths and weaknesses of large companies D. the future of Yahoo and Microsoft 【参考答案】33-35 CAA
