【题目】 A birthday is always a special celebration. It’s important to enjoy yourself because it’s the day out of the year that belongs to you. 1.

Plan a get-together

2. On your birthday, it’s important to spend time with those who will put a smile on your face. If you don’t have time to send out invitations, casually invite your guests over the phone at least a week in advance. Make sure they understand that it’s not a big formal dinner, but rather a casual get-together. 3. And you would love them to spend time with you on your birthday. If you aren’t in the mood to cook a big dinner, make reservations at your favorite restaurant.

Day trips are a wonderful birthday activity for those with a busy lifestyle. A week before the date, look into places around you that you’ve always wanted to visit. It may be a city, a rural countryside or a mountain resort. Regardless, it should be a place where you can relax and get away from your busy lifestyle. You can invite a few friends along, or just take the trip yourself.

Spoil yourself

On your birthday, it’s perfectly understandable to be a little selfish. Treating yourself on your birthday is the best gift you can give yourself after being financially responsible all year long. 5. Do little things that you never think to do for yourself when you’re busy running around. We all deserve a little pat on the back once in a while for our efforts, and birthdays are the perfect time to do it.

【题目】 You may be relying more and more on your refrigerator. But you should know there are some things you’d better not put into your refrigerator.

1 Nothing dries out bread faster than your refrigerator. If you make sandwiches with the bread, and then place them in the refrigerator, the cold temperature will make the bread hard like nuts. Besides, the coldness makes the bread become hard at a faster speed.

Coffee. Since ground coffee like coffee beans require cool, dry and dark spots to keep their taste and freshness, the refrigerator is not a good place for them. Coffee also needs an airtight(密封的)container. But if you have much coffee that you won’t use right away, then you can freeze it. 2 This way, you can store it for up to a month.

Tomatoes. 3 But putting them in the refrigerator will cause them to lose all of their good taste. Plus, the cold air in the cooler refrigerator stops the ripening(成熟的)process as well. And as we all know, ripening is what gives every tomato more taste. For best results, keep tomatoes out, and inside a basket or a bowl on your counter.

Honey. Make sure that you keep honey in an airtight container. 4 Therefore. storing it in your cooler refrigerator doesn’t make sense. Honey is a naturally preserved food so it needs no help from us. Amazingly enough, placing honey in your refrigerator will in fact speed up the sugar crystallization (结晶)process. 5

A. Nuts.

B. Bread.

C. We all love tomatoes for their taste.

D. Just make sure to put the coffee in airtight bags.

E. Honey will stay good almost forever in that way.

F. Some of you dislike the tomatoes’ taste because it is a little strange.

G. As a result, the honey will become harder or nearly impossible to eat.

【题目】Directions: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable sentences to fill in the blanks and complete the passage. There are two extra sentences you do not need.

On a typical hot August day in Xianyou County, Fujian Province, Zeng Demei, a retired worker in his seventies, hurries down a busy street. In his hand is a black leather bag. Zeng opens his bag, taking out two forms. 1

Each of the forms contains detailed information of a student. On his arrival two hours later a woman greets him and leads him to her office where another man is waiting. They are the two village officials. They inspect the forms handed to them by Zeng and immediately recognize the girls. 2 “It’s a pity but it doesn’t matter,” says Zeng, who wastes no time in deciding to look for the remaining child, Su Qinju.

After half an hour, they stop outside a small house made of mud brick. A middle-aged man and a girl in a faded pink dress greet them. Su Qiuju is eight years old. She was forced to drop out of school after both her parents died. She is now living with her uncle who cannot afford his own children’s education. However, the year of education Su Qiuju did complete was a successful one. 3

When they are about to leave, Zeng says, “I must find a supporter for this girl to sponsor her education.” Zeng has made it his retirement task to help children complete their schooling. Back in 1999, Zeng took part in a campaign started by the local women’s organization to help students from poor families. He was so overcome by the tough situation of many poor children that he donated all his money to help out a girl.

His task had begun and since then he has spent his time persuading his friends and neighbors and others to donate money. “To me, children’s education is the most important. 4 I have to find sufficient funding before the school opens in September.”

When asked how long he will keep up his vital work as the community’s guardian angel, he has a simple reply, “Not until my eyes can’t see, and my feet can’t move.”

A. They were having problems with their school work.

B. These are for the two girls he’s going to visit this morning.

C. They live in a small village not very far, though only one of the girls is still living at home.

D. She displayed a talent for handwriting, writing her three-character name neatly and beautifully.

E. The thought of students dropping out of school bothers me so much that I can’t get to sleep at night.

F. Of course, some people question why I would want to give up my retirement to go to so much trouble.

【题目】The word “pub” is short for public house. There are around 60,000 pubs in the U.K. One of the oldest pubs, Fighting Cocks in St. Albans, Herts, is located in a building that dates back to the eleventh century.

1 People talk, eat, drink, meet their friends and relax there. Pubs often have tow bars, one usually quieter than the other, and many have a garden where people can sit in summer.2

Groups of friends normally buy “rounds” of drinks.3 It is sometimes difficult to get served when pubs are busy: the bar staff will usually try and serve those who have been waiting the longest at the bar first.

Most pubs offer a complete range of beers, local and imported, with German, Belgian and French beers being in demand.4 As a matter of fact, pubs sell soft drinks, too.

The legal age to purchase alcohol is 18 in the U.K.5 But they must be with an adult and the adult orders it.

It is illegal to sell alcohol to someone who already appears drunk. Fourteen-year-olds may enter a pub unaccompanied by adults if they order a meal. Children may enter a pub with their parents until 9 p.m., which lets families enjoy reasonably priced pub meals together. And it also allows pubs to play their traditional roles as community centers. Customs in British pubs differ from those in American bars. In most pubs in the U.K., you must go to the bar to order drinks and food and pay for your purchases immediately.

A. Most people might think pubs are places where people simply drink alcohol.

B. The person whose turn it is will buy drinks for all the members of the group.

C. People aged 16 and 17, with the license’s permission, may have only one glass of wine during a meal.

D. In the salon bar the atmosphere is quieter and there are fewer people.

E. Children can go into pub gardens with their parents.

F. Pubs are an important part of British life.

G. British people like drinking beers in pubs.
