It’s great fun to explore new places—it feels like an adventure，even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.
　　● Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere. It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn or you’ll have to move to the back seat.
　　● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass , a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies . Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.
　　● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc.)in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it’s not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.
小題1:Sitting beside the driver, you should___________.
A．direct the driver when necessary
B．look ahead to see where there’s a turn
C．move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable
D．keep looking at the map to find a place to go to

A．To get information when in danger.
B．To be saved in case of an accident.
C．To share the fun with him/her in exploration.
D．To tell him/her what’s going on with the group members.
小題3:Orienteering activities can______________.
A．make people work fast
B．help people stay healthy
C．help people organize other activities
D．make people get prepared for sports
小題4:The text mainly talks about____________.

What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn’t being “replaced”．We’d been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the “new” stuff(東西) we got was really just to replace what we’d lost.But not my ring.My ring was new.
Then，only one month later，I lost it.I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning.I was sad and searched everywhere for it.But it seemed to have disappeared.Eventually，I gave up and stopped looking for it.And two years later，we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed，and a couple of moves later，I was visiting my parents’ when Mum told me that she had something for me.It wasn’t my birthday，nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift­giving occasion.Mum noticed my questioning look.“You’ll recognize this one，” she said，smiling.

The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations，which included replacing the carpets.When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom，they found the ring.As it had my initials carved into it，they realized who owned the ring.They’d had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.

There are many reasons that goals go unfulfilled. For many, goal setting is a never ending circle that starts, stops, and begins again. To help us succeed in reaching our goals, let’s examine the reasons why many people fail at reaching them. Here are 7 Reasons That You Won’t Reach Your Goals:
1. You Don’t Have Any Goals
Too many people are afraid to “set” their goals. Afraid of failing. Afraid of disappointment. Well, you definitely won’t complete them if you don’t try. Make a choice and set your goals. Otherwise you will end up wherever life takes you.
2. You Don’t Start
OK, so you have a goal. What have you done about it? Have you started it yet? What are you waiting for? Procrastination is responsible for the failure of many goals.
3. You Aren’t Willing to “Buy” Your Goals
Yes, you have to buy your goals. Why? Because every goal has a price. It has a cost. Time. Money. Sweat. Sacrifice. You will have to “pay” for your goals in some manner.
4. Your Goals Are Unrealistic.
Make sure that your goals are possible and that you set an adequate time frame for success.
5. You Won’t Stick With It
Over half of goals will be given up within 30 days. You set your goals .You started them. And then...you gave up. Are you using life’s daily happenings as excuses? Goals are not   reached through one effort. Rather, they are made in small steps over time.
6. You Will Fail...And You Won’t Get Back Up!
No one succeeds immediately. Those who appear to have effortlessly succeeded have usually put in years of preparation and practice. You have to fall down many times before you will succeed. Skill is learned by doing.
7. You Quit Before The Finish Line
Too many people stop...right before the finish line. It’s almost like they are afraid of succeeding. Often a life event is used as the reason for not finishing. Something always comes up before you finish.
Are you reaching your goals? Which of these is keeping you from succeeding? Set your goals. Stay the course. Always get back up when you fail. And make sure you cross the finish line.
小題1:What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A．To remind people of the importance of setting life goals.
B．To convince people of keeping to their life goals.
C．To clarify the reasons leading to the failure of achieving goals.
D．To persuade people to have big life goals.
小題2:What’s the probable meaning of the underlined word “procrastination” in the second tip?
A．hesitationB．delayC．importanceD．contradiction
小題3:According to the passage, you will not reach you goals, if you _______.
A．a(chǎn)re not willing to spend money seeking helping hands.
B．do not take time to make plans for them.
C．do not let life take you where it goes.
D．a(chǎn)re not afraid of succeeding.
小題4:What can be learned from the sixth tip?
A．He who has hope has everything.
B．Two heads are better than one.
C．Practice makes perfect.
D．Keeping up contributes to success.

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.
One big disadvantage is money---it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising---and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十幾歲) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
小題1:What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?
A．Staying on the farm B．Moving to the countryside
C．Leaving home for the cityD．Running away from the school
小題2:Which of the following is true about the writer?
A．He is very old now.B．He is in good health.
C．He prefers driving a car.D．He lives in the city now.
小題3:In the passage, the writer tries to _______.
A．express his opinions about way of life
B．describe his life in the countryside
C．show an interest in the outside world
D．persuade the reader to live in the city
小題4:How is the passage mainly developed?
A．By inferringB．By comparing
C．By listing examplesD．By giving explanations

It is a wonderful morning，as I write this：hot，but without being too hot. Outside my window，I can see the sunniest sky of the year reflected in a huge natural expand of water. It is the kind of sun that makes you well aware of summer’s temporary nature —a reminder that if I am ever to go around to book this year's holiday，time is running out .
It is now close to four years since I last took a holiday. This is because I have come to the conclusion, over the course of my adult life, that I am not very good at it. You might say this sounds like saying you are not very good at drinking tea or listening to music.  What could possibly be difficult about the natural act of putting your working life on hold for a couple of weeks and going somewhere to do nothing?
So what is my problem? On the surface, I'm probably a bit of homebody. And I just find the pressure of being on holidy too severe: it always feels like having a gun held to my head and being forced to have fun. Somehow, packing a carefully itemized list of possessions and meeting a scheduled flight has none of the excitement of suddenly deciding to take a day off and driving somewhere for the fun of it.
Thankfully, I am not alone. This summer, most of my friends have decided not to have a break. And a recent survey highlighted the downside(負(fù)面）of holidays, with the results shoeing that nearly two thirds of people found that the calming effects of a holiday wore off within 24 hours, as stress levels returned to normal. And this year's the Idler magazine published its book of awful holidays .Here you will find a list of the five most ecologically--damaging vacations it's possible to take, along with 50 horrible holidays experiences voted for on the idler website. Over the last decade, The Idler has become well known for promoting the idea of an easy, lazy life. The leisure(休閑）industry might seem an unlikely target of its criticism, but Dan Kienan, the book's editor, says that he was flooded with entries from readers for his list of awful holidays.
小題1:According to the first paragraph We can know that the writer        .
A． has a strong desire to book a holiday
B． wishes that the weather would change
C． finds it is too late to enjoy the sunshine
D． realizes it’s time to decide whether to go on a holiday
小題2:What can be inferred from the sentence underlined in the passage?
A． people may find the man unbelievable
B． People think traveling is not so easy an act as drinking tea
C．The writer often regrets not taking a holiday．
D． The writer doesn't like drinking tea or listening to music
小題3:The reason why the writer dislikes going on holidays is that      .
A． it usually takes too much time
B． he is tired of making preparations too much for holidays
C． it is far less enjoyable than breaks planned in advance
D． he feels embarrassed when other people are having fun but he isn't
小題4:We can learn from the survey that a lot of people         .
A． pretend to enjoy their holiday
B． fail to relax while they are on holiday
C． feel that the benefits of going on holidays are limited
D． have made the some decision as the writer and most of his friends
小題5:The writer takes the book of Awful Holidays as an example to             .
A． damage the reputation of the magazine
B．prove his idea to be more popular than expected
C． indicate that his dislike of holidays is widely shared
D． foucs entirely on bad personal experiences of holidays

The adderis the only poisonous snake nativeto Britain. Adders have the most highly developed poison injecting mechanism of all snakes, but they are not aggressive animals. Adders will only use their poison as a last means of defence, usually if caught or trodden on. No one has died from adder bites in Britain for over 20 years. By far the most common smake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British sanke with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high gournd. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.
Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal . Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.
All snakes have small teeth, so it follows tha tall snakes can bite, but only te bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move  very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.
The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon severa things, one of which is the boidy-wight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites in Britain ,and thought these bites can make some pepe very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.
小題1:What does the underlined phrase “ trodden on” probably mean?
A．Found outB．Heard fromC．Stepped on.D．Robbed of.
小題2:Where are adders to be found?
A．In fertile fields in Scotland.
B．On wild land throughout Britain.
C．In many parts of Britain and Ireland.
D．Everywhere in Britian except Scotland

A．Catch the biting adder at onece.
B．Don’t worry about the bitten person.
C．Don’t try to treat the bite by yourself.

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with         problems might go onto the Internet and write about his problems in a blog. In many ways a diary and a blog are very         . So, what makes blogging different from writing in         diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more         than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of         that she does not want to        .
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog         a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her         . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.         I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but         in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was         that my sister might read it!
The biggest         with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something         about her in my diary, she would never know!        , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend         read her blog and get a “cry”.
There are also         to blogging, of course. If I felt sad one day and wrote in my diary,  “Nobody cares about me,”         would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would         respond and tell her how much they         her. Blogs help people         in touch with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
