Are you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids to? Try some of these places:
Visit art museums. They offer a variety of activities to excite your kids' interest. Many offer workshops for making hand-made pieces, traveling exhibits, book signings(签名) by children's favorite writers, and even musical performances and other arts.
Head to a natural history museum. This is where kids can discover the past from dinosaur models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky. Also, ask what kind of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special events that are coming up.
Go to a Youtheater. Look for one in your area offering plays for child and family visitors. Pre-show play shops are conducted by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts. Puppet (木偶) making and stage make-up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find.
Try hands-on science. Visit one of the many hands-on science museums around the country. These science play-lands are great fun for kids and grown-ups alike. They'll keep your child
mentally and physically active the whole day through while pushing buttons, experimenting, and building. When everyone is tired, enjoy a fun family science show, commonly found in these museums.

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question，we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area．Not all historical buildings are attractive．However，there may be other reasons-for example，economic(经济的) reasons-why they should be preserved．So，let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people．What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view，new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style．Indeed，there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings．As long as the building in question is
pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much，it often improves that attractiveness of the area．
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in，but the same can be said of some old buildings too．Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas．I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change．
Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings，I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward．If we always reproduced what was there before，we would all still be living in caves．Thus，I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different，even though that might be the more risky choice．
4．What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?
A．Some of them are not attractive．
B．Most of them are too expensive to preserve．
C．They are more pleasing than modern buildings．
D．They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area．
5．Which of the following is true according to the author?
A．We should reproduce the same old buildings．
B．Buildings should not dominate their surroundings．
C．Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in．
D．No one understand why people speak against new buildings．
6．By “move things forward〞 in the last paragraph，the author probably means “_________．〞
A．destroy old buildings
B．put things in a different place
C．choose new architectural styles
D．respect people’s feelings for historical buildings
7．What is new purpose of the passage?
A．To explain why people dislike change．
B．To warn that we could end up living in caves．
C．To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings．
D．To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas
C
In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics (策略).
One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the women's shoe section is generally next to the women's cosmetics (化装品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers'senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain
found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these ＄10 million houses.
8.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?
A. To save customers time.
B. To show they are high quality foods.
C. To help sell junk food.
D. To sell them at discount prices.
9.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?
A. Opening the store early in the morning.
B. Displaying British wines next to French ones.
C. Inviting customers to play music.
D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.
10.What is the California builder's story intended to prove?
A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.
C. An ocean view is much to the customers'taste.
D. A good first impression increases sales.
11.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.
B. To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.
C. To report researches on customer behavior.
D. To show dishonest business practices.
D
When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.
These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. "Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence(才能) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society," said George Vaillant, the psychologist(心理学家) who made the discovery. "And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them."
Vaillant's study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25,31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men's mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.
Working —at any age —is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence —the underpinnings(根底) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, "One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work."
12.What do we know about John?
A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.
B. He had few childhood playmates.
C. He received little love from his family.
D. He was envied by others in his childhood.
13.Vaillant's words in Paragraph 2 serve as____.
A. a description of personal values and social values
B. an analysis of how work was related to competence
C. an example for parents'expectations of their children
D. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men
14.Vaillant's team obtained their findings by____.
A. recording the boys'effort in school
B. evaluating the men's mental health
C. comparing different sets of scores
D. measuring the men's problem solving ability
15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Competent adults know more about love than work.
B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.
C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.
D. Independence is the key to one's success.

Science-Backed ways To Be A Better Conversationalist
There are two keys to being a better conversationalist. One is to concentrate more on the persons you’re speaking with. The other is to focus on satisfying their needs instead of your own.16
Use people’s names more.
Our names are “the sweetest and most important sound〞 to us. 17 In conversation, you can use this to your advantage by asking for their names, and then dropping their names occasionally throughout the conversation later on.
18
Talking about ourselves results in the same feeling of pleasure in the brain as food or money. Individuals place high subjective value on opportunities to communicate their thoughts and feelings to others. An attention-giver will give his undivided attention to the individuals, and allow them to focus the conversation on themselves to feel important.
Repeat the last three words.
19 Simply repeat the last two or three words an individual said in a sympathetic,
questioning one. This is known as “The Echo(回声) Effect〞, which will allow the conversation to go back to the person, and make him feel more important.
Stress similarities.
Naturally, we tend to bond with people who are like us. 20 When individuals were asked what they wanted in a partner; the majority said they would prefer a complementary (互补的) partner rather than a similar one. But the individuals were more likely to choose a partner who they thought was very similar to them.
A. Talk more about ourselves.
B. Repeating makes your partner important.
C. Encourage people to talk about themselves.
D. However, we seem to be unaware of this fact.
E. In brief, be an attention-giver rather than an attention-getter.
F. Repetition is most suitable in terms of good communication skills.
G. We are more likely to be in tune with others when they say our names.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容〔1个单词〕或者括号内单词的正确形式Few people I know seem to have much desire or time to cook. Making Chinese 41 (dish) is seen as especially troublesome. Many westerners 42 come to China cook much less than in their own countries once they realize how cheap 43 can be to eat out. I still remember 44 (visit) a friend who’d lived here for fiv e years and I 45 (shock) when I learnt she hadn’t cooked once in all that time.
While regularly eating out seems to 46 (become) common for many young people in recent years, it’s not without a cost. The obvious one is money; eating out once or twice a week may be 47 (afford) but doing this most days adds up. There could be an even 48 (high)
cost on your health. Researchers have found that there is a direct link between the increase in food eaten outside the home and the rise in 49 (weigh) problems.
If you are not going to suffer this problem, then I suggest that the next time you go to your mum’s home __50__ dinner, get a few cooking tips from her. Cooking food can be fun. You might also begin to notice the effects not only on your health but in your pocket.

In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday, I took driving lessons. I still remember how hard first day was. Before getting into the car, I thought I had learned the instructor’s orders, so once I started the car, my mind goes blank, I forgot what he had said to me altogether. The instructor kept repeating the word, “Speed up!〞“Slow down!〞“Turning left!〞 I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left.
A few minutes late, the instructor asked me to stop the car. It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the

Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m Li Hua, an exchange student from China during this summer vacation. I’m delighted to learn that volunteer students are wanted for a Chinese painting exhibition to be held in the local art gallery. Now I’m writing to apply for the position.
The reasons for my application are as follows. First of all, having been exposed to foreign teachers since a young age, I can communicate freely with others in English. What’s more, years of being monitor makes me a brilliant organizer, which will help a lot to keep the exhibition in order.
The most important factor is that my related knowledge will undoubtedly help the audience learn more about the unique Chinese art form. All in all, my sense of responsibility will make me a qualified volunteer. I’d appreciate it if you co uld take my application into consideration.
Yours, Li Hua
