We all know, especially for me who like travelling very much, travelling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break----a week long school vacation in the United States. But what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry. Here are some useful suggestions.
Save: this probably is the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.
Plant ahead: Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and saving.
Do your homework : No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.
Plan sensibly, Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.
Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.
Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.
Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting act ivies and sights.
Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes: Remember to take medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.
Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www.Travelocity.com. www.bargains-lowestfare.cm and www.Ecoomictravel.co
By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.

For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions．People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer．For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer．He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing．
Cold can affect other parts of the body．The expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet．The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do．For example, you agree to be president of an organization．But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility．You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation．
The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face．You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you．Or, to someone who has lied about you to others．
A cold fish is not a fish．It is a person．But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth．A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone．Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted．Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy．Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers．
Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got．A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise---he was left out in the cold．And it is not a pleasant place to be．
小題1:There are _________ expressions related to cold that are mentioned in the passage．
A．3B．4 C．6D．7
小題2:When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by “_________”．
A．I give him the cold shoulderB．I think he is a cold-blooded man
C．I think he is a cold fishD．I’m likely to get cold feet
小題3: If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say _________．
A．she is a cold-blooded killerB．she gets cold feet
C．she is a cold fishD．she is out in the cold
小題4:We can use the expression “__________” to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy．
A．cold-bloodedB．cold shoulder
C．cold feetD．cold-hearted
小題5:The topic of this passage is about _________．
A．the relationship between cold and our body

Have you ever stayed up late? If so, you know that not getting enough sleep can make you tried and grumpy. Not sleeping enough sleep can also make it harder to think clearly the next day.
Sleep scientists have long known that getting a good night’s sleep is very important. It helps kids be able to do their best during the day.
A recent study shows that sleep helps improve problem-solving skills and creative(創(chuàng)造性的) thinking. For the study, two groups of students answered a math problem. The group that slept for eight hours solved the problem correctly more often than the group that did not get enough sleep.
While you sleep at night, your brain is busy doing its “homework”. It sorts out(整理) all the information that you get in the day. Getting enough sleep each night can improve your thinking ability. That will surely help you do your best at school. Experts say that, in return, can lead to better grades.
小題1:The underlined word grumpy in the first paragraph means_______.

Finding something to do during the school holidays isn't always easy, but one mum has set up a new website to help families find activities and events in Norfolk.
Fiona Anthony of Bawburgh, near Norwich, was persuaded by her friends to set up the website, Info4Families, when they noticed she always knew what events were happening in the county（縣）.
"I am always looking for things to keep my children occupied and Norfolk has such a lot going on," she said.
Detail（細(xì)節(jié)）from Info4Families     
"But I found it quite difficult to get information about events and activities for children and families, as there was no central information point and it would often involve collecting leaflets（傳單） and checking notice boards at different places.
"So I decided to set up a website which would allow people to find things to do, without leaving home," she added.
Fiona was also concerned that some events she had booked had to be cancelled（取消） because not enough people wanted to go.
"It is a real shame that some parents can’t find the events and some event organisers don’t get the numbers they need. I want to help bring the two together," said Fiona.
The website gives details on regular, one-off and free events, and includes activities which children can do on their own or with the family.
Parents can look for activities by category（種類(lèi)）and by age so that they can find events suitable for their children’s interests and needs. The site also links to local places of interest, such as libraries, museums and cinemas.
小題1: Fiona Anthony set up the website __________.
A．to tell people how to spend their holidays at home
B．to design some activities for event organizers
C．to help people choose activities and events they’re interested in
D．to make money by providing some useful information
小題2:The underlined word “occupied” in the third paragraphs probably means “________”.
A．busyB．happyC．freeD．tired
小題3:From the website Info4Families, we can easily access to the following websites about Norfolk except ________.
A．museumsB．schoolsC．cinemasD．libraries
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Not all the events on the website are free of charge.
B．Fiona always knew what events were happening in her country.
C．Children must take part in the activities provided by the website together with their parents.
D．some organizers often feel disappointed that not enough people take part in their activities.

Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertiser, hoping to sell their products.
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.
小題1:What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1?
A．The exercise of rights is a luxury.
B．The practice of choice is difficult.
C．The right of choice is given but at a price.
D．Choice and right exist at the same time.
小題2:Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?
A．Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.
B．People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.
C．Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.
D．Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the rage of choice.
小題3:By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that _______.
A．a(chǎn)dvanced products meet the needs of people
B．products of the latest design flood the market
C．competitions are fierce in high-tech industry
D．everyday goods need to be replaced often
小題4:What is this passage mainly about?
A．The variety of choices in modern society.
B．The opinions on people’s right in different countries
C．The Problems about the availability of everyday goods.
D．The helplessness in purchasing decisions

Everyone wants to be a pop star. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a pop star.   71   You get to sing and dance and make voices. People are willing to pay you tons of money and, of course, many fans love you. It’s a perfect life; what could be the problems?
  72  And one of the biggest problems is “crazy” fans who live their idols (偶像) too much. Andy Lau, the Hong Kang superstar, experienced that last year. A fan was so crazy about Andy that she persuaded her parents to spend all their money and travel to Hong Kang to meet him. Andy is a nice man so he met the girl and talked with her for a few minutes.
That should have been the end of the story, but it wasn’t!   73  In despair (絕望), the father jumped into the sea and said it was because Andy Lau had made him poor and had made his daughter a “crazy” fan. It’s a very sad story and it shows what can happen when ordinary people become crazy pop fans.
We like famous persons, and we enjoy listening to them.   74  And some people think that, since they love the pop star, the pop star should love then back.. That’s crazy!   75  They have their own families and friends. Their job is to entertain us, not to love us. So, don’t be a “crazy” fan, be a good fan, and just appreciate the joy, the happiness and the excitement that your favorite pop star bring you.
A．Well, clearly, there are lots of problems.
B．Sometimes we think we know them as well as we know our closest friends.
