There are many fun, free activities that you can do as a family. All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time. And the best part is that these are the kind of fun, family memories a child will remember for a lifetime.
Family Game Night
Kids often get games for Christmas or birthdays, and would love to have a chance to play with their family. Or, make up some games of their own. Charades（字謎游戲）is a fun game that will challenge children to use their imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words and the other has to act out.
Family Art Time
Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own art. It doesn’t need to be just a drawing－take some old magazines, let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own shape. Or let them use leaves, branches and whatever else they can find to make something from their imagination.
Family Picnic
Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn’t cost any money. If the weather is nice, take them to a park or playground and let them have a day of playing.
Family Field Trip
A family field trip doesn’t have to cost a cent. Ask a nearby farm if you can bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. Or take them to a park to find certain items from nature. Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work－you might be surprised at the number of people who would be excited to share what they do with others, and it could be an interesting lesson for kids.
小題1:When playing the game charades, kids are supposed to ______.
A．prepare some cakes for each other
B．sing a song for each other in turn
C．connect actions with certain words
D．be quick to follow others’ actions
小題2:Which activities in the passage depend much on the kids imagination?
A．Family Game Night ＆ Family Art Time
B．Family Game Night ＆ Family Picnic

B．It costs a lot to visit a park for a family
C．a(chǎn)ll the people will be excited to share what they have with you

小題4:The passage is mainly intended for ______.
A．teachersB．teenagersC．touristsD．parents

小題1:C
小題2:A
小題3:D
小題4:D

試題分析：本文主要提出了幾項適合家人一起的活動。
小題1:推理題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words that the other has to act out.說明這個游戲是一方說出單詞，另外一方表演出來，涉及的是表演出單詞，故C正確。
小題2:細節(jié)題。從第二段的句子：Charades（字謎游戲）is a fun game that will challenge children to use their imagination.和第三段的句子;Or let them use leaves, branches and whatever else they can find to make something from their imagination. 可知A. Family Game Night ＆ Family Art Time是需要孩子的想象力的，選A。
小題3:細節(jié)題：從最后一段的句子：Ask a nearby farm if you can bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals.可知你可以得到農(nóng)夫的允許，選D

In Asia，there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them.Although all kites have a similar structure(結(jié)構(gòu))，they are widely different in size and shape.Kite­fighting competitions are also held，in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents’(對手) kites or cut their strings(線)．
For more than 15 years，the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite­making and kite­flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii.In its kite­making lessons，students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes！Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite.Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980.Their kites are made of nylon(尼龍)．Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne.The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.
The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern.The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two­string controllable kite.Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in.Then the controls are given to the students.
Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites.Even the simplest structure can work，and can give hours of fun.Go on，give it a try！

Are you feeling stressed out? Anxious? Is your mind racing in circles? Are you worried about all the things you have to get done? Here’s a quick—acting trick that can make you feel better.
If you are sitting at a desk, place the palm of your hand on the desk, and take a moment to focus on what the surface of the desk feels like. Is it hot or cold, rough or smooth? Put all of your attention on the sensations in your palm, on how the desk feels underneath your hand. If you are not at a desk, do the same exercise by placing your palm on any nearby object—a wall, a chair, even your opposite arm.
When you are feeling stressed, your thoughts tend to take on a life of their own. You may be thinking about things you wish you had done differently in the past or worrying about things that you have to do in the future. These thoughts will make you feel anxious. The anxiety, in turn, increases the number of anxious thoughts.
If you can ground yourself even for a moment in the present, you will break the cycle and feel instant relief. Paying attention to what objects in your environment feel like forces you to pay more attention to the present moment than to negative, anxiety—provoking (刺激的，誘發(fā)的)thoughts about the past or about the future.
Try using your other senses too:
Try closing your eyes for a second(don’t try this while driving!) and breathe deeply through your nose. What do you smell?
When eating, put all your attention on how your food tastes.
What do you hear? What little noises are there around you that you didn’t notice before?
Look closely at an ordinary object. Do you see anything you haven’t noticed before?
小題1:By saying  “Is your mind racing in circles”, the author intends to mean that______.
A．you did something wrong in the past and wouldn’t forgive yourself
B．your mind is quick and bright when in a state of anxiety
C．you are thinking in a stupid way when anxious thoughts worries you a lot
D．you worried a lot and the anxious thoughts will increase your anxiety
小題2:The author advises to put your palm on the desk or any things nearby in order to ____
A．play a small trickB．feel the surface of the object
C．do some exercisesD．reduce your anxiety
小題3:The writer mentioned some senses that could be used to reduce stress except the _____.
A．sense of touchingB．sense of smellC．sense of humourD．sense of listening
小題4:Which of the following can be served as a title for the article?
A．Frist Aid to Anxiety----Senses
B．How Anxiety Works
C．The Cause of Anxiety—Senses
D．How to Deal with Anxiety

Donna is 19 years old and loves animals, which is why I’m always happy to leave my dog with her when I go on holiday. Donna also helps to train hunting dogs, but recently, her boyfriend told me, she returned home from a farm in tears after being told to hit some dogs.
“She wasn’t being asked to hit them because they didn’t behave well,” he said. “She was told to punch these puppies with a closed fist simply to let them know who is the boss,” Donna refused. Good for Donna. In my view, you hit an animal for only two reasons: as a way to teach it an important lesson to protect it from danger, such as not into the road; or because you like hurting animals.
Last summer, I attended a horse race. I don’t know much about horses, but I was alarmed when I saw a horse with a huge ulcer (潰瘍) on its legs. “Surely this horse won’t race?” I asked. I was very surprised that nobody in the crowd seemed concerned.
The horse began the race, but later it fell heavily. It had broken its leg. The next thing I saw was its dead body in a bag, being driven past. No one seemed to care, except those who had bet on it. I know people care for horse racing, but do they really care for horses? I doubt it.
Oh, but it’s a tradition, I hear you say. Wouldn’t the world be a boring place if we didn’t occasionally hit, shoot and chase animals? Traditions are made by man and can be unmade. It was once acceptable to kill servants when their master died, to visit the mental hospitals to laugh at the patients or to watch public execution (執(zhí)行死刑).
Nor should it be forgotten that in our progress to a more civilized world, animals have played an important role: they have fed us, carried us, worked for us, rescued us, died for us and sometimes just saved us from loneliness. Surely by now they deserve our kindness. At the very least, they deserve our respect.
小題1:Donna was asked to hit the young dogs because ________.
A．they misbehaved
B．their owner disliked them
C．people on the farm enjoy hurting them
D．it was a way to train them to obey people
小題2:What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．strikeB．strokeC．scoldD．pump
小題3:What is the author’s purpose in telling the readers the story about the horse?
A．To explain the traditional horse race to readers.
B．To prove that the weak horse can’t win in the race.
C．To show that animals are treated unfairly by humans.
D．To say that people care more for horses than horse racing.
小題4:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．People no longer watch killing criminals in public.
B．The author cannot accept anyone who hits the animals.
C．It was a traditional practice to kill servants for their dead master.
D．The author thinks it is possible to change the traditions made by man.
小題5:What’s the best title of the passage?
A．No One Cares for Animals Nowadays.
B．Let’s Protect the Endangered Animals.
C．Show Animals the Respect They Deserve.
D．The Stories Between Animals and People.

Someday a stranger will read your email without your permission or scan the website you have visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
In fact, it is likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without permission? It might be a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-----the 21st century is the equal of being caught naked.
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy and that it is important to reveal yourself to friends, families and lovers at appropriate time and places. But now few boundaries remain. The information you leave everywhere makes it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. Believe it or not, we live in a world where you simply can’t keep a secret. The key question is: does that matter?
When you ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it.
But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收費站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few refuse to offer personal information like Social Security numbers to get supermarket loyalty cards.
But privacy (隱私) does matter—at least sometimes. It is like health: when you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it is gone do you wish you had done more to protect it.
小題1:What does the underlined sentence in Para 2 mean?
A．People’s personal information is easily accessed without their knowing it.
B．In the 21st century people try every means to look into others’ secrets.
C．People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.
D．Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.
小題2:Which of the statements will the psychologists probably agree with?
A．Friends should open their hearts to each other.
B．Friends should always be faithful to each other.
C．There should be a distance even between friends.
D．The closer they are, the deeper their friendship is.
小題3:In the last paragraph but one, the EZ-Pass system and Social Security numbers are used as evidence to show_________.
A．Americans talk a lot but do little about privacy protection
B．Americans use various loyalty cards for business.
C．Americans rely more and more on electronic devices.
D．Americans change behaviors that might disclose their identity.
小題4:Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?
A．Privacy and HealthB．Privacy Is Getting Lost.
C．Boundary and FriendshipD．Cherish What You Have

At the age of 11, Peter Lynch started caddying(當球童) at Brae Burn Country Club in Newton, Mass. “It was better than a newspaper carrier, and much more profitable,” the Fidelity vice chairman recalls. He kept it up during the summers for almost a decade. “You get to know the course and can give the golf players advice about how to approach various holes,” he says. “Where else, at age 15 or 16, can you serve as a trusted adviser to high-powered people?”
One of those people was George Sullivan, then president of Fidelity’s funds, who was so impressed with Lynch’s smarts that he hired him in 1966. “There were about 75 applicants for 3 job openings,” Lynch says now. “But I was the only one who had caddied for the president for 10 years.”
In between caddying and managing money, Lynch went to Boston College on a scholarship from a program called the Francis Ouimet Fund. Named after the 1913 winner of the U.S. Open, the fund launched in 1949 which is open to Massachusetts kids only. Ouimet executive director Robert Donovan says, “Help with college is a logical extension of friendly relation between golfers and their favorite caddies, because there is a close tie to train up them to be excellent that happens between the players and the kids who carry their golf poles. And for the teens, caddying is all about being around successful role models.”
It is obvious that caddies who are finally successful include all kinds of outstanding personnel, from actor Bill Murray, to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, to former GE chairman and CEO Jack Welch.
Of course, the great number of financial giants who caddied in their youth might be coincidence, but Dick Connolly thinks not. “Caddying life teaches you a lot about business, and about life,” he says. “You learn to show up early and look people in the eye when you shake their hand, and you learn how to read people -- including who’s likely to cheat and who isn’t.” Connolly is a longtime investment advisor at Morgan Stanley’s Boston office, a former Ouimet scholarship student and, along with Peter Lynch and Roger Altman, one of the program’s biggest supporters. He wants to share the most important lesson he learned on the links, so he says: “One golfer I caddied for told me that if you want to succeed in any field -- golf or business -- you have to spend a lot of lonely hours, either practicing or working, when you’d rather be partying with your friends. That’s true, and it stuck with me.”
小題1:Which of the following may Peter Lynch agree about caddying?
A．He could have a relaxing job as a caddie.
B．He could make more money from the golf players.　　
C．His duty was to advise the players how to play golf.
D．His caddying experiences contributed to his later career.
小題2:Why was the Francis Ouimet Fund set up to support Massachusetts kids only?
A．Because of the advice from the rich golf players.
B．Because of those giants with caddying experiences.
C．Because of the great success the caddies have achieved.
D．Because of the friendly relation between golfers and their caddies.
小題3:According to Dick Connolly, caddying experience in your youth_____.
A．helps you learn to live with loneliness
B．teaches you a lot about business and life
C．makes it possible to meet with great people
D．offers you chances to communicate with others
小題4:Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A．Legend of Peter Lynch.
B．An introduction of Golf Caddying.
C．Golf Caddying into Future Success.
D．Five Giants with Caddying Experiences.
