A tent can be one of the more costly items on your camping equipment shopping list. It is definitely something that you need to consider carefully.
By seeing a tent for real you will be able to get a better impression of its size and construction in the traditional shop. However，the downside is that，unless you are experienced，you may miss out some of the details that the manufacturer’s promotional material makes clear. Cheap tents often look similar to the quality models they are mimicking(模仿)，but you can be sure that they use inferior(次的) materials and probably have lower design standards.
Shop staff are often campers themselves. That means they usually can give lots of advice. If a shop assistant agrees with your own conclusions，that will be great；if they try to change your decision with a clear and reasonable argument，then that will be worth considering；if they just try to bamboozle(欺騙)，or even bully，you then walk away.
The Internet is a wonderful tool，and so long as you know how to make the most of search engines and put in a little effort，you really have the perfect answer waiting to be found. That answer will be different for every camper as each of us has different needs. Don’t be surprised to see your favorite criticized somewhere，but if you see too much criticism，then you had better start thinking again. No problem. You won’t have spent anything yet，so think of it positively as a large expense saved.
Probably the best approach，if you have the time，is to research tents online and make a short list. Then try to inspect those tents at nearby shops. Then you can make a final decision on where to buy your chosen model based purely on total cost.

I was an extremely verbal child, and growing up with my dad was an experiment in linguistics(語言學(xué)). My father was a man of few words. Whenever I wanted his permission for a certain activity, I planned a speech that included who would be there, where it would take place, how long it would last, and why it was an incredibly wonderful opportunity for me. He would listen and then say either “Yes” or “No.” There were never any qualifiers; not “Yes, but be home by dinner” or “No, unless you can convince me otherwise.” It was yes or no, plain and simple.
My father’s phone messages were also lessons in patience and long-suffering to a teenage girl. I was quite active in high school. Not only did I enjoy being involved in many areas, but I came into contact with many a great teenage guy. I can recall one busy day when I had met two great guys and had given each of them my phone number. The first words out of my mouth when I walked through the front door were, “Dad! Did anyone call?” His answer, of course, was simply “Yes”.I required for a more accurate description of the caller. His answer: “A boy.” Since I had met two guys that day, this did not help me. I ran to my room in tears.
Knowing my dad’s dislike of language in general and his fondness for briefness, it surprised me to hear that he was going to teach the eleven-year-old boys’ Sunday school class. He did so for not one, but many years. I always wondered if he actually said anything, or if they all just sat in their chairs and stared at each other. I was sure that if people were waiting on my father to break the ice with brilliant conversation or a springboard comment, they’d be badly disappointed. Still, September after September, my father hung his sign outside the Sunday school room: Mr. Ernst—Eleven-Year-Old Boys.
小題1: In order to get Dad to agree to the author’s outing, the author had to make up the following EXCEPT _____.
A．the friends I shall meet in the activity
B．the activity is a chance for anyone
C．the place where the activity is to be held
D．the time that I shall spend in the activity
小題2: When the author says “My father’s phone messages were also lessons in patience and long-suffering to a teenage girl.”, it means that when she was young _____.
A．her father once gave her a lesson about patience and long-lasting pain
B．her father’s brief phone messages angered her a lot but made her patient
C．she was trained to be patient and brave because of her father’s brief phone messages
D．she suffered and had to be patient because of her father’s brief phone messages
小題3: What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “break the ice” in Paragraph 3?
A．Make the ice crack.B．Stop talking.
C．Start a talk.D．Interrupt a talk.
小題4: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．My father would answer me with “Yes, but be home by dinner” sometimes.
B．I came into contact with just a few great teenage guys because I was active in high school.
C．That my father would teach the eleven-year-old boys’ Weekday school class surprised me.
D．I always wanted to know how my father, who talked so little, taught the boys.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

We all know that the normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 7-8 hours' sleep alternating(交替) with some 16-17 hours' wakefulness and that the sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness. Our present concern is with how easily and to what extent this cycle can be modified.
　　The question is no mere academic one. The ease, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a question of growing importance in industry where automation calls for round-the-clock working of machines. It normally takes from five days to one week for a person to adapt to a reversed（顛倒的） routine of sleep and wakefulness, sleeping during the day and working at night. Unfortunately, it is often the case in industry that shifts(輪班) are changed every week; a person may work from 12 midnight to 8 a.m. one week, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. the next, and 4 p.m. to 12 midnight the third and so on. This means that no sooner has he got used to one routine than he has to change to another, so that much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very efficiently.
　　The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to a number of permanent night workers. An interesting study of the domestic life and health of night-shift workers was carried out by Brown in 1957. She found a high incidence (發(fā)生率) of disturbed sleep and other disorders among those on alternating day and night shifts, but no abnormal occurrence of these phenomena among those on permanent night work.
　　This latter system then appears to be the best long-term policy, but meanwhile something may be done to relieve the pressure of alternate day and night work by selecting those people who can adapt most quickly to the changes of routine. One way of knowing when a person has adapted is by measuring his body temperature. People occupied in normal daytime work will have a high temperature during the hours of wakefulness and a low one at night; when they change to night work the pattern will only gradually go back to match the new routine and the speed with which it does so parallels, broadly speaking, the adaptation of the body as a whole, particularly in terms of performance. Therefore, by taking body temperature at two-hour intervals(間隔時(shí)間) throughout the period of wakefulness, it can be seen how quickly a person can adapt to a reversed routine, and this could be used as a basis for selection. So far, however, such a form of selection does not seem to have been applied in practice.
小題1:The main problem of the round-the-clock working system lies in       .
A．the inconveniences brought about to the workers by the introduction of automation
B．the disturbance of the daily life cycle of workers who have to change shifts too frequently
C．the fact that people working at night are often less effective
D．the fact that it is difficult to find a number of good night workers
小題2:The best solution for implementing the 24-hour working system seems to be       .
A．to change shifts at longer intervals.
B．to have longer shifts
C．to arrange for some people to work on night shifts only
D．to create better living conditions for night workers
小題3:It is possible to find out if a person has adapted to the changes of routine by measuring his body temperature because       .
A．body temperature is higher when the cycle of sleep and wakefulness alternates
B．body temperature changes when he changes to night shift or back
C．the temperature reverses when the routine is changed
D．people have higher temperatures when they are working efficiently
小題4:Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A．Body temperature may serve as an indication of a worker's performance.
B．The selection of a number of permanent night shift workers has proved to be the best solution to problems of the round-the- clock working system.
C．Taking body temperature at regular intervals can show how a person adapts to the changes of routine.
D．Disturbed sleep occurs less frequently among those on permanent night or day shifts.

Puppy Food
A puppy (young dog) is a precious addition to any family. The excitement of bringing home a little furry friend will always live in our memories. Like all of us, though, your puppy must have adequate nutrition（營養(yǎng)） right from the start to make certain that it’ll have a long and healthy life.
 小題1:  You might ask yourself what is the best for your new pet with all of the different varieties on the market in all of their attractive packaging. Some dry food produced specially for puppies is the best for the development of their teeth.   小題2: 
Contrary to the belief of many first-time puppy owners, it is not always the best idea to purchase food that is too high in calcium (鈣), protein, and vitamin levels.   小題3:  In addition, a high intake of calcium is associated with bone disease in large-breed dogs. If you have a “small-breed” puppy, you can buy that kind of food.
It is not a good idea to feed the food you eat to your puppy frequently, as your puppy may become selective about food.   小題4:  Some people think that dog biscuits and other treats are fine, but they should not be a main part of puppy’s diet.
Young puppies should be fed three times a day. Each puppy is unique, however, so feeding them twice a day is acceptable. After ten to twelve weeks of age, feed your puppy twice per day. Allow your puppy to eat as much as he would like in fifteen minutes.   小題5:  If you let your puppy eat too much or too often by keeping food accessible at all times, he may become overweight and have health problems as an adult. Like humans, your puppy will not enjoy the food any longer if it is there at all times.
A．Pick up the dish with the remaining food.
B．Proper food is a basic necessity for your puppies.
C．Remember to give your puppy the food he would like to have.
D．It can also cause an upset stomach due to an unbalanced diet.
E. A further benefit is that it is less expensive than the canned food.
F. One example is that extra helpings of nutrients do harm to digestive organs.
G. It’s good to provide the extra nutrients a puppy needs until he grows larger.

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I ’m left      . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other          ？
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s,     children from different races and religions played and studied       in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone s     from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and Iwas an Indian Hindu——we just       our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice，well        or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we'd          the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to         the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his     .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail s family later returned to their village, and I          touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I         my destination. The driver acknowledged my         but did not move off. Instead, he looked       at me. “Raddar?" he said, using my childhood nickname(綽號(hào)). I was astonished at being so      addressed (稱呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two     we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something      to describe.
If we can allow our children to be       without prejudice, they'll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be     their side through' thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and     we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, 44we happy few, we band of brothers".

Before you argue with your boss, check with the boss’s secretary to determine his mood. If he ate nails for breakfast, it is not a good idea to ask him for something. Even without the boss’s secretary, there are keys to timing: don’t approach the boss when he’s on deadline; don’t go in right before lunch, when he is apt to be distracted and rushed; don’t go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
If you’re mad, that will only make your boss mad. Calm down first. And don’t let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration. The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind. Then, maybe he will dismiss you.
Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss. Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more. If you can’t put forward an immediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem. People who frequently present problems without solutions to their boss may soon find they can’t get past the secretary.
To deal effectively with a boss, it’s important to consider his goals and pressures. If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss, then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.
小題1:What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?
A．Present problems.
B．Propose your solution.
C．Put yourself in the boss’s position.
D．Make the issue clear.
小題2:If you want to ask the boss for anything, it is important to find out first _________.
A．how he is feeling.
B．whether the boss had breakfast.
C．whether he is on deadline.
D．whether he had taken a vacation.
小題3:What is the best title of the passage?
A．How to Propose Your Solution.
B．Never Give in to Your Boss.
C．How to Argue with Your Boss.
D．Learn to Understand Your Boss.
小題4:From the passage, we can infer that_____________.
A．you don’t go into the boss’s office when you are angry
B．you can present the boss with a problem only.
C．when you offer advice to your boss, don’t think of the troubles he may have.
D．when you go into the boss’s office, keep your voice all the time.
小題5:It is necessary to make clear to the boss ___________.
A．what problems he has.
B．why you are mad.
C．what position you are in the company.
D．what you really want to talk to him about
