Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. This will be like a walk in the park, hed told his wife. Ill look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom. Things started well, but just after eight oclock, his three little good kidsMike, Randy, and Alexcame down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted breakfast, daddy. When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alexs head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍). Mike chanted Wheres my toast, wheres my toast, in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds. Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randys underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named Not Me had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started. By ten oclock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible. At exactly11:17, Brad called the daycare centre(日托所). I suddenly have to go into work and my wifes away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes? The answer was obviously yes because Brad was smiling.21. When his wife left home, Brad expected to _.

A. by space B. by parison C. by process D. by timeB Some say college is wasted on the young. So many of us look back at our own college years and realize what we could have done differently to make the most of them. While we cant go back, we certainly can offer our sons and daughters our best advice to help them make the right choices in college. Hopefully, they will have fewer regrets than we do. Following are five guidelines parents can share with their college-bound kids to put the whole experience in perspective.EDUCATION IS YOUR FIRST PRIORITY As soon as you arrive on campus, there will be peting interests. Feel free to check them out but always remember that you are there first and foremost for your education. Go to class prepared and on time. Be engaged during class. Make sure your professor knows you and realizes that you care.BE RESPONSIBLE There are many layers of responsibility. Do what you say you will do and, if you cant, own up to it early and municate clearly. But being responsible isnt just about meeting your mitments; it is also about taking care of you, your body, and your friends. For example, more than 1800 college students die annually from alcohol-related injuries. Look out for yourself and other people. Make moderate(适度的), sensible decisions so you arent affected by the consequences later.TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY Incredible opportunities will present themselves: studying abroad, interning at a unique place, trying new things. Dont let fear prevent you from taking advantage of them. There may never be so much time or as many resources devoted to your betterment again in your life. Say yes to opportunities that will help you grow.FIND AND BE A MENTOR（良师益友） Some of the best lessons available to us can e outside of the classroom in the form of a mentor. One of the most powerful growth opportunities is being a mentor. Early on, find someone on campus who you feel can help you grow and develop a relationship with him or her. Also find someone for you to mentor. You will reinforce and enrich your own learning experience by teaching someone else.GET THE JOB DONE It is natural to occasionally feel you want to quit, when it makes more sense to you to go find a full-time job. Resist that urge. As Jocelyn Negron-Rios, a mother of two, who is currently pleting her degree, advises, No matter how difficult it seems, keep at it because however insurmountable（难以对付的）it feels now multiply that by 10,000 and that is how it feels when you are in your thirties with a full-time job and a family and are trying to pursue a degree.25. According to the passage, the most important thing for college students is _. A. taking part in different activities B. working hard to get a degree C. seizing every chance to try new things D. improving themselves by learning from the others26. Which of the following about college life is true? A. Passing on what youve learned in college can help you enrich your learning experience. B. Make sure that you are responsible for yourself rather than others. C. Professors will not assess your performances in class but the grades you get in exams. D. You can make full use of the opportunity whenever you want. 27. What can we infer from the words said by Jocelyn in the last paragraph? A. Persistence is the key to success when you meet with difficulties in your learning process. B. It is better if you gain more working experience before you finish your education. C. As long as you work hard, you can gain a degree even when you are in your thirties. D. Youth is the best time to learn since you have less burden.28. What is the main purpose of the passage? A.

To analyze the benefits and difficulties of college life.C At the beginning of every year we promise ourselves we will live a healthier life, and exercise more. The year tarts with the best of intentions, but many times we are unable to keep up with very high goals. Good news is that a healthy lifestyle is achievable and its all about making small changes that make a difference. News on healthy lifestyles says that the key is moderation and consistency. There are so many health and well-being products out there in the market promising many things. And although many may be true, select carefully. The basics of a healthy lifestyle is maintaining a balanced diet and doing regular exercise. By eating well, it means really to make sure you include plenty of vegetables and fruit preferably in season in your diet, avoid fried and junk foods and foods high in sugar as well as processed foods. Eating fresh homemade meals rather than ready-made meals, which are high in salt and sugar, is always the better option. Reducing alcohol intake, drinking plenty of water and supplementing your diet with healthy snacks like nuts and seeds. For external care choose natural skin care products and hair care oil. Natural beauty care involves using natural moisturizers（保湿剂）like Argan oil, Coconut oil and Sweet Almond oil. These nourish（滋养） the skin far more than counter creams full of chemicals. Skin reflects what we put inside of us, so a healthy diet with plenty of greens and healthy protein will make your skin brighter. Of course exercise is essential but the key is regular and consistent exercise. So walking three times a week for 45 minutes is much more beneficial than a binge workout once a week.29. Why cant we keep up with our goals according to the passage? A. The goals are too high to achieve. B. We have a large amount of work to do. C. We are naturally lazy and never do exercise. D. The reason isnt given in the passage.30. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. we should think twice before choosing heath products B. the key to a healthy lifestyle is getting enough sleep C. food high in salt and sugar is the best choice for us D. we should walk once a day for a healthy lifestyle31. What can we learn from the passage? A. We cannot form a healthy lifestyle if we are busy. B. We can eat some junk food in order to save money. C. Our skin shows whether we have a healthy diet. D. Health products are not good for our health.32. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. How to achieve our goals. B. The best way to take exercise. C. How to make a difference in life. D. Suggestions for a healthy lifestyle.DWHERE TO STAY IN BOSWELL？ YOUR GUIDE TO OUR BEST HOTEL Name/AddressThe No.Of RoomsSingleDoubleSpecial AttractionsFIRST HOTEL;222Edward Road; Tel.414-64331202535Air-conditioned rooms, French restaurant, Nightclub, Swimming pool, Shops, Coffee shop and bar, Telephone, radio andTV in each room, Close to the city centerFAIRVIEW HOTEL;129 North Road;Tel. 591-5620501218Close to the air-port, Telephone In each room, Bar, Restaurant, Garage, Swimming-pool ORCHARD HOTEL;233 Edward Road;Tel. 641-64461201520Facing First hotel, European restaurant, Coffee shop, Dry-cleaning, Shops, tv, night-club OSAKA HOTEL;1264 Venning Road;Tel. 643-82001803050Air-Conditioned rooms, Japanese and Chinese restaurants, Shops, Swimming-pool, Large garden 33.The number of the rooms in the best hotels in Boswell is .

A science reportB I knew a man, a very tall, gentle man, for several years before I found out that he visited prisoners in our local prison, week in and week out for decades. He would write letters for them, carry messages, fetch clothing or books. But mainly he just offered himself. He did not lecture to them, didnt pick and choose between those he liked and disliked and didnt look for any return on his kindness. All that mattered was that they were in trouble.Why did he spend time with prisoners when he could have been playing golf or watching TV? “I go in case everyone else has given up on them,” he told me once. “Ill never give up.” Never giving up is a quality we honor in athletes, in soldiers, in survivors of disasters, in patients recovering from severe injuries. If you struggle bravely against strong opponents（对手）, you are likely to end up on the evening news. But in less flashy, less newsworthy forms, devotion to a task, or a person, or an occupation shows up in countless lives all around us.It shows up in parents who will not quit loving their daughter even after she dyes her hair purple, tattoos （纹身）her belly and runs off with a rock band. It shows ill couples who choose to mend their marriages instead of ending it. It shows up in volunteers at the hospital or library, it shows up in unsung people everywhere who do their job well, not because the boss is watching or because they are paid large amounts of money but because they know their work matters.25.

Even while Copenhagen was under occupation（占领）by the Nazis during the World War , it still did not fight. The point is that people living in Denmark prefer to focus on economic matters, instead of involving themselves in various armed conflicts.Norway Many people do not expect Norway to appear in the list of the most peaceful countries in the world. Perhaps, this is because of Anders Behring Breivik, mass（谋杀多人的）murderer, who hit the pride of the country hard. But Norway is one of the worlds most peaceful countries and friendly and safe place to live, with the highest level of human development.Sweden Although Sweden is one of the biggest weapon exporters in Europe, the country has a low level of robberies. According to the Global Peace Index, Sweden is one of the most peaceful countries in the world, in spite of the fact that its among the worlds top arms exporters. Besides, Sweden has not been to war and has not participated in any bats （争斗）for the whole two centuries.IcelandIceland was also ranked as one of the most peaceful countries in the world, staying out of the main conflicts in the world.

This concern is very clear in the Great Lakes region. Non native earthworms（蚯蚓）have been in North America for a couple hundred years, brought over from Europe with soils and plants. More recently, Asian species, sold as fishing bait（饵料）, have started to spread in the Great Lakes region, where there are no native earthworms.In these earthworm-free forests, when leaves fall onto the forest floor and plants and animals die, they build up into whats called the duff（腐殖质）layer. In this area, it was just bacteria that broke down the organic material for plants to consume and take up. Earthworms e in, they do their job and do it extremely well they take that forest floor and turn it into the rich black soil you find in your garden.That sounds great-but the local plants and animals in the Great Lakes region are used to living with the duff layer, not in the rich soil associated with earthworms. In addition, the rich top soil left by earthworms can wash out in a heavy rain. The differently produced soil is a problem as well. Theres a mat of fine roots in that duff layer-thats where a lot of our native plants put their root system. When that duff is gone, its a lot harder for them to put their roots into the mineral（矿物质的）soil. 33. What is the authors attitude towards the work of invasive earthworms ?A. Supportive. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Respectful.34. How does the Asian species affect the ecosystem of the Great Lakes Region? A. By changing the soil. B. By Killing the native species. C. By eating the native plants.
