The “challenges” of family holidays are well-known. It's 1 enough getting on with your husband,wife or kids at home,so how can you 2 yourself while travelling with them? Susan M. Shaw,expert on leisure(休閑) at the University of Waterloo,thinks the term “family leisure” is full of 3 . “Research suggests that such 4 do not always make you feel relaxed,” she writes,darkly.
Family holidays probably,don't add much to the sum of human 5 . However,as one of my friends likes to 6 , people don't have children for happiness. Research has shown that 7 are less happy than childless people. 8 , says my friend,having children is best understood as a biological urge. You have them not for the present but for the 9 ,so that your 客從從(基因) will continue to exist when you are gone. And 10 , you go on family holidays not for the present but for the future.
Thus,the aim of the holiday,much of the time,is to stock up on 11 : to leave all family members with 12 of happiness that they can look back on after the family doesn't exist. Indeed,much of what we remember of our families comes from 13 . On holiday,the family exists more clearly than at any other time: all together for once,14 work,school or friends. On holiday,you are much closer to your 15 . Holiday photographs make that feeling of closeness 16 . In fact,the photographs themselves are perhaps the main 17 of the holiday: that's where the memories get laid down.
A family holiday is for memories. Once you grasp that,you will not 18 it. I vividly remember,about 30 years ago,returning from an Italian 19 to our handsome brick house. 20 we opened the front gate,my mother said,uThat's the best part of a holiday: coming home." At the time I didn't know what she meant.

話題:家庭、朋友與周圍的人本文是議論文。很多人認(rèn)為跟家人一起度假是種折磨,作者卻認(rèn)為全家人
一起度假很有意義,能留下很多美好的回憶。
1. B.
2. A.根據(jù)本段開頭的The “challenges” of family holidays 可推 測(cè),這里指平時(shí)在家里跟家人相處己 經(jīng)很“難(hard) ” 了,那么跟他們一起 度假又怎么能“過得愉快(enjoy) ”呢?
3. D.既然跟家人度假是瑣挑戰(zhàn),那么 “家庭休閑”這種說法本身就有“問題 (problems) ”。
4. D.這里是指度假這些“活動(dòng) (activities ) ”不能總是讓人感到放松。
5. C.根據(jù)下句中的 people don't have children for happiness 可知,作者用“人 們養(yǎng)育孩子不是為了幸福”來反駁全 家度假可能不會(huì)增加人們的“幸福 (happiness ) ”總值的觀點(diǎn)。
6. A.舍據(jù)本句開頭的However可知,本 句與上一句是轉(zhuǎn)折對(duì)比關(guān)系,故ai^ue (反駁) 符合此處語(yǔ)境。
7. B.根據(jù)上句中的have children與本 句中的childless people可知,這里是 將有孩子的人,即:“父母(parents) ”與 沒有孩子的人作比較。
8. C.根據(jù)上文中的 people don't have children for happiness 及本空后的 having children ... so that your genes will continue to exist when you are gone可知,作者的朋友認(rèn)為人們養(yǎng)育 孩子不是為了幸福,“而是(Rather) ”為了讓自己的基因延續(xù)。
9. C.本段末的 not for the present but for the fbture提示了本題答案。
10. B.根據(jù)上文中的 You have them not for the present ...及本空后的內(nèi)容可 知,度假跟養(yǎng)育孩子“相似 (similarly) ”,都不是為了.現(xiàn)在,而是 為了將來。
11. A.根據(jù)本段中的remember of及 memories可知,很多時(shí)候,度假的目 的就是為了存儲(chǔ)“回憶(memories) ”。
12. B.本段#后兩句出現(xiàn)的photo-graphs提示了本題答案。
13. C.根據(jù)本空后兩句開頭的On holiday可知,我們對(duì)家庭的很多回 憶來自“holidays (假期) ”。
14. D.
15. A.根據(jù)常識(shí)我們知道,跟家 人度假的時(shí)候我們身邊“沒有(without) ”工作、學(xué);蚺笥,因此我 們跟“家人(family) ”更加親近。
16. D.度假時(shí)拍的照片會(huì)讓家人之間 的親密感“更加強(qiáng)烈(stronger ) ”。
17. C.根據(jù)本句冒號(hào)后的內(nèi)容可知,作 者認(rèn)為度假時(shí)拍的照片也許就是度 假的主要“目的(aim) ”:留住回憶。
18. B.作者認(rèn)為全家人一起度假很有意 義,能留下很多美好的回憶,所以你 一旦認(rèn)識(shí)到這一點(diǎn),你就不會(huì)因?yàn)楦?家人度假而“感到痛苦(suffer from) ”。
19. A.根據(jù)下一句中的 That's the best part of a holiday可知,這里是指作者 跟家人從意大利度“假(vacation) ”歸 來.
20. D.“我們打開門”和“媽媽說:‘度假 最好的地方就在于回家’ ”是幾乎同 時(shí)發(fā)生的,故As符合此處語(yǔ)境。

While shopping in a store yesterday,I was slightly annoying by somebody’s screaming children,who just would not quiet down. The little boy could be heard throughout the store. He looked for me as I passed his mother and I smiled as I looked back. He said “hi” in quiet and easy tone. I said “hi” back and gave him an even big smile. The boy didn’t smile back but I didn't hear it yelling the rest of the time when I was in the store. It is truly that if you smile at someone,you would brighten their day. In fact,it not only brightens their day,and makes your own light to shine as well.

Cancers Cells in our bodies are always dividing,as new cells replace old ones. 36 Cancer cells divide rapidly,and form growths called tumours(腫瘤). They can spread to take over a whole organ and stop it working properly. If cells break away from the tumour,they can travel to other parts of the body and start new tumours.
We do not know why some people get cancer while others don't. But faulty genes are certainly the cause of some cancers. Others are caused by chemicals in the environment.
Cancer is not a single disease. 37 The most common types affect the digestive system and lungs. In women,cancers of the breasts and cervix (子宮頸) are also common.
Smoking is the cause of almost all cases of lung cancer. Tobacco smoke contains chemicals which can damage the lungs. The more cigarettes a person smokes,the greater their risk of suffering from lung cancer. 38
Cancers of the skin are also quite common. Many types of radiation,especially ultraviolet rays (紫外線) from the Sun,can damage skin cells and cause cancer.
Most cancers can be treated successfully if they are caught early enough. Some treatments involve surgery to remove the tumour. This is often followed by a course of strong drugs. 39 They kill healthy cells as well as cancer cells.
In the most up-to-date treatments,drugs are delivered directly to the cancer cells using “magic bullets”. These are special antibodies which only attach themselves to cancer cells.
Similarly, radiotherapy(放射療法) is a type of cancer treatment which uses radiation to kill cancer cells. A narrow bean(光線) of radiation is focused directly at a tumour. 40
A. Most skin cancers are completely curable.
B. And the healthy cells nearby are not damaged.
C. Many of these drugs have unpleasant side-effects.
D. An X-ray of the lungs shows the position of a tumour.
E. Different cancers can affect almost any part of the body.
F. But sometimes the process goes wrong,and a cancer cell is formed.
G. Fortunately,the risk of getting cancer is reduced when someone stops smoking.

A shopping center in Brazil is growing vegetables on its rooftop using waste collected from the mall's restaurants. The garden is on the roof of the Eldorado shopping center in Sao Paolo. Workers there use trash(垃圾) from the restaurants to create compost(堆肥) for the garden. Compost is used to improve the soil of the garden. A spokesman for the mall says that the waste from 10 ,000 meals served each day in its food court goes into the compost.
Workers grow different kinds of fhiits and vegetables on the rooftop garden,including tomatoes,lettuce and eggplant. The fruits and vegetables grown there provide free food for the employees. Mall officials also hope to reduce the amount of waste that would end up in a garbage dump. This,they hope,will reduce carbon gases entering the atmosphere.
Cicero Evangelista leads the waste recycling effort. He says about 400 kilograms of organic waste are created every day from the mair s'food court.
He says ,“We weigh the material and add enzymes that remove bacteria,reduce humidity (濕度) and accelerate decomposition(分解). This is how we turn organic waste into organic compost."
Officials at the shopping center want to save as much waste as possible. So,they held workshops for employees to learn how to best collect waste from their stores. Neide Lopes is a food court worker. She says it is helpful to put in the extra work.
“The program is active and creative,and they distribute the produce among us,so it's very good. It is a way of reducing waste,and we receive food that we don't have to pay for,and that's the best part!”
Mall employees say the project reuses waste food to make food and reduces the shopping center's carbon footprint(碳排放量) at the same time.
