【题目】 It's time for fun outside! Take your bathing suit and sunscreen and head to these sunny spots that offer the best getaways for every interest!

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Head to the hot city nightlife of San Juan. Top chefs, stylish hotels, bars, clubs and shops are all just steps away from the tropical beaches. And since Puerto Rico is a United States Commonwealth, it's one of the easiest islands in the Caribbean to visit since you won't need a passport, have to change money, or even worry about your cellphone working. Puerto Rico is also one of the best tropical vacations you can take without leaving the United States.

Riviera Maya, Mexico

What's better than diving into the salty sea? Going into the clear and salt-free waters of the naturally occurring limestone cenotes (石灰岩沼穴) of the Riviera Maya and Yucatan Peninsula. Spend a sunny day exploring these natural cave pools filled with cool water that springs from the ground below and the thick palm forests that surround them. Then head back to the perfectly located Fairmont Mayakoba for comfortable rooms and modem Mexican cuisine.

New Orleans, Louisiana

New Orleans' lively nightlife and live-music scenes make 'the Big Easy' a great girls' getaway. And even if your crew isn't one to seek out the boozy Bourbon Street crawl, there's plenty of amazing food in the French Quarter，plenty of shopping and strolling in the Garden District.

Clearwater, Florida

If you want to meet a real movie star while also enjoying the sunbath, head to the Gulf shores of Clearwater, Florida. Here you can meet the stars of Dolphin Tale and Dolphin Tale 2, Winter and Hope, who are in residence full-time at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.

Last summer, our class paid for a visit to a local nursing home. After arrive there, we saw some elder practicing Tai Chi. They gave us a good impression of being dynamic and healthy. But there were also some old people seating in the wheelchairs. They were out of shape，what made me a bit sad. They must have experienced hard life in the past. During the visit, we chat with the old and did some cleaning and washing here. We had such a good time. This year, we plan to visit it from time to time but hope more people will care about the old so that they can be healthy, peace and happy for the rest of their life.

【题目】 Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing. Their designers say with these robots, rescuers will be able to save lives during an earthquake.

This robot looking like a helicopter, is called the detector-bot. It’s about 4 meters long, and it took about 4 years to develop the model. Its main functions (作用) are to collect information from the air, and send goods of up to 30 kilos, to people trapped by an earthquake.

This robot has a high definition 360 degree panoramic (全景) camera. It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.

Dr. Qi Juntong, Chinese Academy of Science, said, “The most important feature of this robot is that it doesn’t need a distant control. We just set the destination (目的地) information on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3,000 meters, and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour.”

This robot has a different function — it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go.

As well as a detector (探测器) that finds victims and detects poisonous gas, a camera is placed in the 40 centimeter long robot, which can work in the dark.

Another use for the rescuers is the supply part, with its 10 meter long pipe. People who are trapped in the ruins, will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.

Experts have said that the robots will enter production, and serve as part of the national earth-quake rescue team as soon as next year.

【1】According to the passage, this robot________.

A.is carried by the helicopter

B.weighs about 30 kilos

C.is a machine with a length of 10 meters

D.hasn’t been put into production so far

【2】The underlined word “which” in paragraph 6 refers to________.

A.a cameraB.a robotC.a rescuerD.a detector

【3】Which of the following is true of the robot?

A.It is designed to prevent the earthquake.

B.It is unable to send goods.

C.It can take and send pictures even in the dark.

D.It can be used to take in poisonous gas.

Dear Peter,

I'm very glad to receive your email asking for information about the host family we have arranged you to stay with.

Locating in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, the house was big enough to enable you to have a room of your own. Apart from the convenient public transportation, our private car will make your visits easily. Because all the family members can speak fluently English and have outgoing personalities, I'm sure you will have no trouble to communicating with them. Above all, they hosted the American student last year, through that they gained lots of experience.

In addition, the hostess cooking will guarantee you a wonderful chance of tasting delicious Chinese food.

Hope you enjoy your stay here.

Yours,

Li Hua
