Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large luxury liners（客轮） or river boats. They are not as fast as trains or planes, but travelling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. They can make their own timetable. They can travel hundreds of miles a day, just as their wish. They can stop wherever they want to see something interesting or to enjoy a good meal at a good restaurant, or to spend the night at a hotel.

C
Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. “I got a red flower today. Could you please sign this note?” he said to mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.
Ted hardly gets top scores in his school wo rk. The best he gets is “OK”, but he often gets “You can do better than this.” Mum knows what it means. She tells me “You can do better than this” means “Extremely bad” in China.
In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is “Please be nicer tomorrow”. Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.
But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spend more time on homework than I did when I was 6th grade in the US! Yet his parents and teachers didn't think he worked hard enough. Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.
（1）Why did Ted come home with a letter last Friday?
A. Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother.
B. Because he did something wrong.
C. Because the teacher was happy with his progress.

（2）If a student in the USA gets “OK” in his schoolwork, it means ________.

B. he gets medium scores
C. he gets extremely bad scores

Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki's bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works.
The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music. The tape recorder in Hiroyuki's bed plays a recording of his girlfriend. She whispers in a sweet voice, “Wake up, darling, please.” A few minutes later, Hiroyuki hears a recording of his boss.

What is a hurricane?
You may already know that hurricanes are storms that can cause devastating（毁灭性的）waves, wind, and rain. They happen during “Hurricane Season,” which is from June 1s t until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.
Categories（类别）of Hurricanes
There are five categories of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage（危害）a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed, the more dangerous the storm is. For example, a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour, which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely. Hurricane Dangers
When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall, there can be a devastating flood. The
centre of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds, the eye is actually（事实上）a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think that it’s over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.
Hurricane Safety Tips
There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following safety tips.
Be sure you have a radio, batteries, fresh drinking water, and enough food.
Tell neighbours, friends, and family members your emergency plans. Tell them where you'll go if you need to leave your home.
If you live near the ocean, leave your home and travel to a safe place. You could stay with a friend or a family member, in a hotel or in an emergency shelter area.
Stay inside during the storm. You could be seriously injured （受伤） if you go outside. （1）When is Hurricane Season?
（2）What are categories of hurricanes based on?
（3）What is called the eye?
（4）How many hurricane safety tips are mentioned（提到） in the passage?
（5）What should you do most probably if a hurricane happens?（自拟一句话作答）

Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I'm afraid you'll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. Especially for the children in English-speaking countries. First, listen to others. Then, try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word. Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He's afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone as long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important, when there's nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
Easier said than done. Well, let's do more practice from now on. I'm sure you'll learn English well in this way.
（1）You can learn to swim by _________.
A. reading books about it
B. looking at others swimming
C. having lessons on it
D. going into the river and learning
（2）We should learn English by _________.
A. listening and speaking
B. reading and writing
C. both A and B
D. swimming
（3）What will you do with mistakes when you speak?
A. Don't make mistakes.
B. Study hard.
C. Try not to speak English.
D. Don't be afraid. 12．阅读下列短文, 根据要求完成下列各题。

Years ago, if a teenager（青少年） had some problems in his life, he might write them in his diary. Now a teenager with the same problems might get on the Internet and write in his blog （博客）. In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. So, what makes a blog different from a diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public（公开的） than a diary. Usually, a teenager likes hiding his diary book and treats it as one full of secrets. Both diaries and blogs tell what happened to the writer that day.
A blog has both good and bad points. The biggest problem is that anyone can read what you write in your blog. If you are not pleased with a friend during school and write something bad about him or her on the Internet, that friend may read your blog and get angry. So we have to be careful of what we write.
A blog has good points, of course. People choose to write in blogs: they know that their friends will read what they write. If you are feeling sad one day and write in your diary, no one will know about it. If you write the same words in your blog, your friends may quickly write back to comfort（安慰） you or give their help. Blogs help people stay in close contact（联系） and let them know what their friends are doing.
（1）In the past, teenagers wrote life problems ________. But now they like writing problems ________.
（2）In many ways, a diary and a blog are ________. Both of them tell ________.
（3）A blog has both ________ points. ________ can read what you write in your blog.
（4）If you write ________ about your friend in your blog, he may ________ after reading it.（5）Where will you choose to write down your problems, in a blog or in a diary? Why?

Have you heard about “Survival （生存）Holidays”? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to（被允许） take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” g ives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults（成年人） disturbing （打扰） them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, but children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.
（1）Is “Survival Holidays” for children or parents?
（2）Why do people like “Survival Holidays”?

Ladies and gentlemen, I returned to this year in a time machine. In the year 2500, we are able to travel through time to any year in the history of the earth. This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the earth.

You see scientists did not find another safe planet, so now we must travel around the universe in our space ships. We are still looking for a place to call our home.
So, it is up to you to change history. There is still hope. You must change your lifestyle now, before it is too late.
