When the lazy days of summer arrive and the schedule is packed with swimming,camp,and family vacations,it can be a challenge to find time for learning. But kids’ reading skills don’t have to grow cold once school’s out. Here are some ways to make reading a natural part of their summer fun.
Explore your library. Visit your local library to check out books and magazines that your kids haven’t seen before. Many libraries have summer reading programs,book clubs,and reading contests for even the youngest borrowers. With a new library card,a child will feel extra grown­up checking out books.
Read on the road. Going on a long car trip?Make sure the back seat is stocked with favorite reads. When you’re not at the wheel,read the books aloud. Get some audiobooks (many libraries have large selections)and listen to them together during driving time.
Make your own books. Pick one of your family’s favorite parts of summer—whether it’s baseball,ice cream,or the pool—and have your child draw pictures of it or cut out pictures from magazines. Stick the pictures onto paper to make a booklet and write text for it. When you’re done,read the book together. Reread it whenever you like!
Keep in touch. Kids don’t have to go away to write about summer vacation. Even if your family stays home,they can send postcards to tell friends and relatives about their adventures. Ask a relative to be your child’s pen pal and encourage them to write each week.
Keep up the reading habits. Even if everything else changes during the summer,keep up the reading routines around your house. Read with your kids every day—whether it’s just before bedtime or under a shady tree on a lazy afternoon. And don’t forget to take a book to the beach!Just brush the sand off the pages—it’s no sweat!

EAT YOUR VEGETABLES. Wash your hands. Always say "please" and "thank you ".We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:
Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000,invest(投資)it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she's 65,she would have $980,983!
Be careful of credit(信用).Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.
Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150.Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside,say,$15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.
Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. "For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot, "says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.
Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined(纏結(jié)在一起), says  Eilleen  Gallo, co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don't want to buy it. "You might say, 'I'd rather save that money for your education,'" advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don't spend money, you have a chance to share your values.
小題1:The writer gives some basics to help ____ in a proper way.
A.parents teach their children how to deal with money
B.children follow their parents 'instructions
C.children manage their money
D.parents save their money
小題2:The underlined word "incentive" in paragraph 6 means ____.
A.honorB.praiseC.excitementD.encouragement
小題3:What leads the writer to write this article?
A. Parents want to know how to educate their children.
B. He wants to share his good ideas about money matters.
C .He thinks money management the most important for children.
D. Parents care  little  about their children's management of money.

Today our lives are changing faster than at any time in history. Here we report on three important changes that will have a big impact on our everyday lives in the future.
The cashless society 
Cash and bank-notes will disappear almost completely. They will be replaced by smart cards, namely plastic cards: microchip(微芯片)processors(處理器)loaded with some money. When we pay for goods,the shop assistant will put our smart card into a payment terminal(終端)and money will come into his card from our card. When all the money is used up,we will be able to reloadit by putting it into a telephone,dialing our bank account and money will be put into the card from the account.
Interactive telephones 
Talking computers will play an important part. They will recognize speech, ask us what information we need, look through a database,and put the information into speech.If we want to book a flight or pay a bill by phone, we will interact with a talking computer to do so. Human telephone operators will be used only for more complex operations such as dealing with complaints or solving special problems.
Traffic jams in cities will be reduced because drivers will use electronic route maps to find the quickest route to their destination. Electronic systems will start changing motorists for driving in cities.As soon as motorists have to pay to drive in cities, they will stop using their cars and use public transport instead. Speed control systems will be built into cars. These systems will automatically(自動地)regulate the speed of the car to take account of traffic and weather conditions and prevent accidents. It will be many years before these changes bring results but when they do,there will be a titanic improvement in road safety.
With the development of science and technology, more and more advanced things will be invented or created. Life in the future is undoubtedly different from that at the present.
小題1:Cash and bank-note will disappear because         .
A.they will be out of use sooner or later
B.they will be replaced by plastic cards convenient to use
C.we can load money from the bank
D.they will be rejected by payment terminals
小題2:What will you do if the money in your card is used up?
A.Go to the bank to deposit some money.
B.Put the card into a telephone and dial the bank account.
C.Buy a new card.
D.We don’t know.
小題3:Which of the following would be the best subtitle for the fourth paragraph?
A.Future cars B.Speed control systemsC.Intelligent carsD.Traffic jams
小題4:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.When we buy tickets for flying somewhere else, we can have a talk with the computer.
B.If you make a complaint, you can use human telephone operation.
C.Drivers will stop using their cars and use public transport in order to prevent accidents.
D.The help of electronic route maps will decrease traffic jams.
小題5:The underlined word “titanic” in Paragraph 4 means        .
A.huge and greatB.the name of a shipC.slightD.increasing

Pollution is reducing the fragrance(芬芳) of plants and thus preventing bees from pollinating(授粉) them—endangering one of the most essential cycles of nature, a new study suggests.
The potentially hugely significant research, funded by US National Science Foundation, has found that gases mainly formed from the emissions(排放) of cars prevent flowers from attracting bees and other insects to pollinate them. And the scientists who have conducted the study fear that insects’ abilities to drive away enemies and attract mates may also be disturbed.
Professor Jose Fuentes, who led the study, said, “Scent molecules(香味分子) produced by flowers in a less polluted environment could travel for roughly 1,000 to 1,200 meters. But today they may travel only 200 to 300 meters. This makes it increasingly difficult for bees and other insects to locate the flowers.”
The researchers, who worked on the molecules of snapdragons(金魚草),found that the molecules are volatile(易揮發(fā)的) and quickly bond with pollutants, mainly formed from vehicle(車輛)emissions. This chemically changes the molecules so that they no longer smell like flowers. A harmful cycle is therefore set up where insects struggle to get enough food and the plants do not get pollinated enough to multiply.
Already bees, which pollinate most of the world’s crops, are in such a great decline that has never been known before in Britain and across much of the globe. At least a quarter of America’s 2.5 million honey bee colonies have been mysteriously wiped out by colony collapse disorder(CCD),where hives are found suddenly deserted.
The crisis(危機) has now spread to Europe. Politicians insist that CCD has not yet been found in Britain, but considering the present number of bees, the agriculture minister Lord Rooker has sent the warning, “The honey bee population could be wiped out in 10 years.”
Although the researchers are not certain whether this is the real cause of CCD, they say that pollution is making life more difficult for bees and other insects in many ways.
小題1: In what way does pollution prevent flowers from attracting bees?
A.By shortening the distance traveled by the scent molecules of flowers.
B.By disturbing the bees’ ability to attract mates.
C.By weakening the bees’ ability to fight against enemies.
D.By stopping flowers from giving off fragrance.
小題2: From the passage we can know that      .
A.Europe is affected greatly by CCD
B.CCD has destroyed most of the honey bee colonies in Europe
C.no honey bees will be found all over the world in the near future
D.European officials have paid much attention to CCD
小題3: What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Traffic Pollution Puts Bees in Danger
B.Traffic Pollution is to Blame for CCD
C.Pollution Makes Flowers Lose Their Scent
D.Pollution Causes the Decrease in Flowers

London has become a cycle friendly zone after the launch of a new bike hire scheme.It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London.
So how does it work?First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key.The key will unlock one of the bikes,which are kept at docking stations in and around central London.You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go,for the length of time you use the bike.
Transport for London, which runs the scheme,are hoping to have 6,000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year.The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion in London and is expected to generate up to 40,000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre. London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been “filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as common place on our roads as black cabs and red buses”.
However,there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday.On the first day some people found they couldn’t dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not registered.Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few “teething problems” and have said they wouldn’t charge for the first day as a“gesture of goodwill”.Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.
Despite the comments,the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things,saying,“My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a gigantic pedal-powered push forwards.”
小題1:Which is the correct order of a bike hire?
a.pay a usage charge according to the time    b.pay for the key
c.cycle in and around central London  d.sign up as a member to get a key
A.b-d-c-aB.b-c-a-dC.d-c-b-aD.d-b-c-a
小題2:.Which of the following is NOT the “teething problems” of the scheme?
A.People were unable to lock properly.
B.People could not dock the bikes properly.
C.People had no enthusiasm about the scheme.
D.It’s too expensive for some people to hire a bike.
小題3:.From the passage we know __________.
A.the ‘cycling revolution’ failed once started
B.the scheme will be put off due to the problems
C.a(chǎn)ll the citizens in London are in favor of the scheme
D.the London Mayor has great confidence in the scheme
