Holidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.

But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits,they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.

For working parents,the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks,there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some,this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.

The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children’s welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays,much of this is missed.

While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.

In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a. more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.

We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.

1.The passage is probably written by _____.

A. an experienced teacher B. a working parent

C. an inspired student D. a city council member

2.The underlined word “they" in the second paragraph refers to “____”.

A. environments B. holidays C. wages D. benefits

3.It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to _____.

A. 2 weeks B. 4.5 weeks C. 5 weeks D. 6 weeks

4.The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students _____.

A. obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs

B. get a chance to spend, six weeks a term with teachers in school

C. benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment

D. have more school days to receive free school meals

5.It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

A. working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children

B. the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out

C. the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real “ down time"

D. some school staff will say “ No" to the plans for a shorter summer holiday

Saturday was my husband’s birthday, but we spent most of the time in the car. We were driving to Phoenix for the weekend to celebrate his birthday and see the Warriors play the Suns.

My husband is a lucky man. Not only has he lived to see another birthday, but he doesn’t mind driving 200 miles to see an NBA basketball game.

In the car, his cellphone kept ringing with birthday greetings from family and friends. He put them all on the speakerphone so he could drive with both hands and I could listen in even though it wasn’t my birthday.

Meanwhile, on the CD player, the Reverend AL Green began to sing Love and Happiness. A little good music makes a bad road better.

Four hours later, we checked into hotel, got dinner and sat out a rooftop feeling glad to be alive.

We had a great weekend—we ate too much, slept too little and the Warriors, well, they lost. But still, it was worth the drive.

On the way home, I started thinking about birthdays. In our family, we celebrate four in January, four in February, and all the others throughout the year. Mine is next week.

I felt lucky, like my husband, I will get cards and calls and maybe a few videos. I don’t need presents any more. When you’ve seen as many birthdays as I have seen, the only gift you truly want is to see one more.

Birthdays are the mile markers on the road of life. They tell us how far we have come, but not how far we have gone.

Life is a journey more than a destination. What matters is whom we choose as traveling companions, and how often we get to sit back and enjoy the ride.

1.What helps to make their long journey drive to Phoenix better?

A. The phone calls from their friends.

B. The music played on their CD player.

C. The beautiful view along the road.

D. The desire to celebrate a nice birthday.

2.What kind of birthday gift does the author really want?

A. A wish to live another year.

B. Calls and cards from friends.

C. A live NBA game

D. Videos from friends and family.

3.What is the major lesson that the author took from the journey?

A. People should learn to appreciate life together with their loved ones.

B. Taking a long drive is a great way to celebrate a birthday.

C. A meaningful life is like a journey with a clear destination.

D. People shouldn’t rest on what they have but try to make new achievements.

4.What could be the best title for this passage?

A. My lucky Husband

B. Driving to See a Basketball Game

C. Mile Markers on the Road of Life

D. A birthday journey
