As an exchange student, I must admit (承认) that at first America was a big culture
shock for me.

I stayed with a host family in a small town. My host parents organized a lot of
activities in my spare time so that I wouldn't miss home or feel lonely.

However, life was hard to get used to. My main problem was with the language. I failed to understand much in the first few weeks because everyone spoke so fast. Though I managed to get used to it. I still have problems because they used a lot of idioms (习语). Another difference was with the food. My host family always had bread, potatoes and salad for meals. I really miss the dumplings, rice and delicious dishes from home.

School was a big shock too. They do not require students to wear uniforms, so students can wear almost whatever they like. Some students have strange hairstyles (发 型) as well. Some students even have pink or purple hair! --- By Brad Li

My dream was to see some real snow, so during the Christmas holiday, we took our passport (护照) and flew over the Pacific to Calgary, Canada. We took a bus to a ski resort
in the Canadian Rockies. As the bus climbed through the mountains, we saw the thick snow on the trees. I was dying to get out and play with it. At last, we reached the resort and quickly jumped out of the bus. This was our first experience with snow. We were like little children --- we made snow balls, and threw them at one another. Then we check in at the hotel.

The next day, we put on our ski suits and gloves, took our skis and went outside onto
the snow. Our instructor took us to a gentle slope (斜坡), and showed us some basic skills.
To be honest, the first lesson was not a great success. I kept on falling over, and I had to
hold on to a rope to keep my balance (平衡).
However, the next day, I only fell over a few times, and I managed to do a few rapid
runs. I felt pleased with myself, and my instructor told me I was doing much better.
Although it was very cold, I spent most of my holiday skiing. I had a wonderful time.

Though you are a teenager now, there will finally come a time when you start to earn (赚) money. While it may be fun to have your own money to spend, it can also be difficult trying to manage it properly. Here are some tips on how to manage your money.

Use your money wisely

Most teenagers earn money for everyday use, or because they are saving up for something. So when they receive their money, they must first decide what they want to do with it. However, try to avoid the temptation (诱惑) to spend it all in one go (一口气)! Remember: Money takes a long time to earn, but it goes very quickly.

Bank your savings

The money you don’t need can be saved at home or in a bank. If you want to save your money at home, get yourself a piggy bank or something else to keep your money in. The other choice is to save your money in a bank. One of the advantages is that you can
earn interest (利息) on it.

Use the money to make money
Rather than saving your money at home or in a bank, you can use the money you earn to invest (投资) in things to make more money. For example, if you are selling something around your neighborhood, you could pay someone else to sell your things in their neighborhood. This way, by spending a little, you can make a lot.

32. The first thing for the teenagers to do after receiving their money is ______.
A. to consider how to deal with it
B. to spend it for everyday use
C. to let it go very quickly
D. to invest in things correctly
33. Which of the following can best explain “use your money wisely”?
A. Don’t earn it for everyday use.
B. It’s saved up for something.
C. Don’t spend it all in one go.
D. It takes a long time to earn.
34. According to the passage, one of the ways to earn interest is ______.
A. to get yourself a piggy bank
B. to save your money in a bank
C. to make some other choices
D. to leave your money at home
35. By paying others to sell things, teenagers can usually ______.
A. spend less money B. give less money
C. waste more money D. make more money
C

Children with no shoes on do better at school than those with shoes on, a study
suggests.

For over 10 years, researchers from universities observed (观察) children in 100 schools from 25 countries. They found that classrooms were quieter when children took off their shoes. It provided a quieter environment where pupils were more willing to focus on study than those with shoes on.

“Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on,” said professor Stephen Heppel, a lead researcher.

“The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair. And we’ve found that 95% of them really don’t read on a chair at home,” Heppel added. “When they go on holidays, they read lying down.”

Professor Heppel hopes to bring the “shoeless policy” to all U.K. schools. He says relaxing conditions at school make children feel as if they’re at home. He believes all the teachers will be glad to adopt the habit.

36. The best title to describe the main idea of the passage is “__________”.
A. Suggestions on shoeless children.
B. Suggestions on children with shoes on.
C. Shoeless children do better at school.
D. Shoeless children looks cool at school.
37. According to the passage, we know that the study was made by __________.
A. some university students
B. children from 25 countries
C. teachers in 1000 schools
D. researchers from university
38. Which of the following pie chart ( ) can explain Heppel’s discovery?

39. Heppel thinks shoeless policy can provide children with __________.
A. quiet activities
B. relaxing conditions
C. some upright chairs
D. a safe environment
40. What does the underlined word “adopt” mean in the passage?
A. accept B. refuse C. change D. throw

Do you always find it is raining when you walk out? Or are you always buying umbrellas and leaving them home when it rains? There is a new umbrella that could solve both problems. The umbrella will not only tell you the weather, but also let you know you’ve left it behind. How does it work? The umbrella will send a message to your smartphone. And it says “Hey, it’s going to rain in 15 minutes where you are, so you’d better take your umbrella.” Besides, if you are forgetful, you may never leave an umbrella on a bus or somewhere else again. The umbrella will send a warning to your smartphone if you leave it behind. The new umbrella is expected to go on sale soon. Though it is a good idea and it looks pretty cool, the umbrella will cost you $185. Maybe you will just check the free weather apps (应用程序) on your smartphone and take an umbrella with you when it is going to rain.
41. How many problems can the new umbrella solve?
42. What else can the new umbrella tell you besides the weather?
43. Where will the new umbrella send a warning?

Doris has written a restaurant review on the Internet. Excellent English food at the Country House Last Saturday night, my family and I ate at the Country House. The Country House serves traditional English food, we paid about 15 to 20 pounds a person to eat there. The food was wonderful. The fish pie reminded me of my grandma. She used to cook it for me. I also had some fish and chips, and it was fantastic. The waiters were polite, but a little slow. We were seated at 7 p.m., but we did not receive our food until 7:40 p.m. I would certainly recommend the Country House for good, traditional English food. However, you should get there early and be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting for your food. 46. Where can you read the restaurant review by Dor 47.
