13．Sure，it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant．
And yes，it's good to get along with your teacher because，in general，it's smart to learn how to understand the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life．
"But really，there's one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher．When you do，learning bursts right open，"says Evelyn Vko，a longtime teacher who writes an education column called"Teacher Says"for the Washington Post newspaper．
In fact，kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more，but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help．This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests．When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher，he or she can be someone to turn to with problems，such as problems with learning or school life，such as bullying．
As a kid in a primary or middle school，you're at a wonderful stage in your life．You're like a sponge （海绵），able to absorb lots of new and exciting information．On top of that，you're able to think about all this information in new ways．Your teacher knows that，in most cases，is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you make it．Remember，teachers are people，too，and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching yu．That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place-to teach!
Some kids may be able to learn in any situation，whether they like the teacher or not．But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher，and if things aren't going well，they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class．
33．In the passage，the author mainly talks aboutC．
A．how to get along well with others
B．how much the students are expected of to get along with teachers
C．the importance of a good relation with teachers
D．how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant
34．"Learning bursts right open"in the third paragraph really meansC．
A．there will be more problems with learning
B．you find an opening to learning
C．learning becomes easier for you at once
D．there will be no problems at all with learning
35．Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage？B
A．Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do．
B．Teachers are excited even if you wouldn't like to accept their teaching．
C．Though few，there are still some students who can learn even if they don't like the teacher．
D．Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies．

Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.

What to Expect

The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least Once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.

Accommodation Zones

Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2.3 and 4of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town center as much of central London is commercial and not residential. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowed area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.

Meal Plans Available

·Continental Breakfast

·Breakfast and Dinner

·Breakfast, Packed Dinner

It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.

Friends

If you wish to invite a friend over to visit,you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.

Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes

Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long -stay student . However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.

6．As a child，I loved the natural world．Maybe it had something to do with growing up in a small town．Maybe it was because nature had so many secrets and I was thrilled to be a detective，uncovering them one by one．
    I'm sure that when people from my generation think back to their childhoods，many recall a tree house，family picnics，or a passion for fishing，hunting，or horseback riding．Most of us had an occasional appetite for dirt as we explored backyards and nearby vacant lots．As someone who grew up in such a world，I enthusiastically encourage parents to bring back that happy childhood pastime of letting kids get muddy once in a while．
    I have more than my own experience to show as evidence that this is a good thing：Study after study indicates that children grow up healthier and happier when they experience a direct connection to nature．Just as importantly，those young people are also far more likely to value the natural world when they've developed a connection to it．The need for thishas never been greater than it is today．
    Our natural world is extraordinary in its diversity and complexity，but it's also under tremendous threat．In the past decade，countless tropical rainforests and coral reefs have been lost forever due to human activities，and many more are critically endangered．These areas don't just house animals and plants found nowhere else on the planet； they also provide important economic services that benefit human health．Streams make fresh water clean； forests reduce flooding； tree provide medicines and insects pollinate （给…授粉） crops．The natural world represents an economic backbone for the future of local communities by promoting tourism and local people's livelihoods．
  The damage to the earth's living systems is fast approaching irreversible （不可逆转的）"tipping points，"and although we now have a wealth of technological tools-both to understand the threats and to assist with solutions-there's still no substitute for a connection to the real world when it comes to understanding the complexity of natural systems．
    Besides，establishing a connection between child and nature is one of the best and simplest ways to inspire young people to make good decisions about personal health，climate change，and sustainable （可持续的） use of natural resources．They need to know what affects the chemistry of the ocean，why tropical rain forests are critical to life in the temperate regions and how millions of years are required to create fossil oil from dead plants．This understanding becomes realest and most meaningful when a person is connected to the natural world．

46．What does the underlined word"this"in Paragraph 3 refer to？C
A．Children developing a connection to the nature．
B．Children growing up healthily and happily．
C．Children valuing the natural world．
D．Children studying and studying．
47．Insects are mentioned in Paragraph 4 to show thatA．
A．humans benefit from nature
B．humans benefit nature in many ways
C．some insects are dangerous to humans
D．some insects are in danger of extinction
48．What can we learn from Paragraph 5？D
A．It is impossible to improve the environment．
B．Natural systems are too complex to understand．
C．Technology can help humans improve the environment．
D．Kids cannot know about the nature without experiencing it．
49．The author writes the passage mainly toD．
A．describe her childhood to the readers
B．encourage readers to protect the nature
C．stress the importance of natural science
D．advise parents to let kids experience nature．
16．Whether you're taking a short business flight or a dream vacation around the world，here are some smart and simple green travel tips to make any trip a little easier．
    1．Power Down
    If your green travels leave behind an empty house，power down as many appliances （电器） as possible．Don't forget to unplug （拔开） electronics like your TV，computer and others that use power even when they're turned off．
    2．Go Car-Free
    On your way to the airport or to your hotel，and all around your traveling city，consider using trains or buses．By stepping out of a car and into the real world，you'll not only save more energy，but also meet more people，see more sights and have more fun．
    3．Go Paperless
    Airlines have almost all gone ticketless； not only does this green travel trip reduce paper waste，it also makes check-in faster and easier．Some hotels，too，allow guests to check out using their hotel's in-house TV programming．
    4．Green Travels and Eco-Hotels
    Staying in a wild eco-hotel isn't a usual choice in most cities．But if you were paying the electric bill，you'll find lots of ways to green your travels．Turning down the air-conditioner when you're there-turning off when you're not-makes a big difference．
    5．Buy Local
    Shopping？Try to buy items that are small and light，and ask if they're locally made．With a little effort，you might even be able to find something that supports local charities （慈善机构） or schools．
    6．Pack Smart
    Airlines are charging for extra luggage．Travel light，pack only the things you know you'll need，and save money and energy．One smart thing to pack but often left behind is a reusable water bottle．

61．When we are going for a trip，what should we do？B
A．Turn off the lights but keep the water tap open at home．
B．Unplug the TV，computer and other electric appliances．
C．Take as many things as we can manage for later use．
D．Drive our own cars to save money and time during the trip．
62．What is a paperless travel according to the passage？C
A．Traveling around without using any paper．
B．Taking less paper along during the whole trip．
C．Avoiding paper tickets at airports and hotels．
D．Staying in hotels that provide no paper in rooms．
63．What can we do to green our travels？A
A．We should turn off the air-conditioner when we are not in the hotel．
B．We should stay in a wild hotel．
C．We should turn down the air-conditioner when you're not in the hotel．
D．We should pay electric bills when we check out．
64．According to the writer，buying local canC．
A．help travelers save more time shopping
B．make sure to buy real good things
C．support some of the local charities or schools
D．add more weight to the travelers'baggage
65．What's the writer's purpose in writing this passage？D
A．To encourage the public to protect the environment．
B．To correct travelers'bad habits during their traveling．
C．To remind people of the importance of saving energy．
D．To introduce some easy green travel tips for travelers．
3．Indoor Plants
As with any house guests，indoor plants require a certain amount of basic，regular attention if they are going to feel at home．The first consideration when purchasing plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed．
A general rule for most plans being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60degrees Fahrenheit，a position out of cold air，safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight．
Plants love company．When plants are growing together，they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions．A group of plants will also present a more pleasing picture and provide an opportunity for a creative arrangement．There is no secret to this．Just rely on your natural feeling for harmony．
Watering and feeding plants are probably the two areas of care that are the least well understood，but，again，if you follow a few simple rules，your plants should do well．Cold Slightly warm water is therefore the answer．It is usually better to pour water on to the soil on the surface of the pot rather than put the water into the pot holder at the bottom．Avoid giving small amount of water at regular intervals-it is much better to wet the soil right hrough the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering．
The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October，and during this time，the established ones will benefit from regular feeding．This may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer（肥料） at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength．It is important，however，to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive，when the soil in the pot is dry，or too soon after the plants has been potted up．
63．In Paragraph 2，the author mainly tells us toD．
A．but plants that help clean indoor air
B．create a new environment with plants
C．put plants on the sunny side of the room
D．make sure of suitable conditions for plants
64．What's the benefit of plants growing together？B
A．It provides owners good company．
B．It helps the air around them slightly wet．
C．It makes it convenient to look after them．
D．It allows owners to draw a pleasant picture．
65．While watering the plants，what should we remember to do？A
A．Use water that is a little warm．
B．Pour the water into the pot holder．
C．Give small amount of water at one time．
D．Consider further wateringin dry weather．
66．What is the best time to feed the plants？B
A．When the soil is dry．
B．When their growth is active．
C．When the temperature is high．
D．When they have just been planted．

In Shahinoor's household there were days when she struggled to put even one meal on the family table．She and her husband are among Bangladesh's poorest：those with no land，no wealth and little hope of breaking out of hunger and poverty．But a new programme to unlock the entrepreneurial（创业的） spirit of Bangladeshi women has transformed her life．
Food Aid Brings Fresh Water To Nepalese Village
Kanukura，33，says that carrying water up the mountain slopes to her village used to be the hardest part of her day．It's a job that mainly fell to women in this part of Nepal，who faced a difficult and tiring climb when they needed water．But that's changed now，thanks to a new village tap，from which women like Kanukura can get clean drinking water whenever they need it．
