8．How I wish I _____ have a long holiday，doing things that I like．（　　）

5．The house was quiet at 5am and Tim's mother was asleep．Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet．He'd dreamt of the cave last night．The purring （轻微颤动声） of the freezer had been the sea．
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag．It was too early for breakfast．He'd eat after he'd been through the cave，sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea．He wished he had a proper pack．His schoolbag would have to do．What else？Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches，she'd want to know why he had to leave so early．He settled for some biscuits，and left a note stuck to the table：Gone to Michael's．Back tonight，Tim．
The sky was high and soft and light outside，though the sun still wasn't up．Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street．The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet．
The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday's sun，though the top of the sand was cool．He ran down to the beach impatiently，but there was no one，just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves．
The light changed suddenly．The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea．The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world．
Over the first rocks，along to the point，Tim glanced back．The beach was still empty．The sun sailed higher in the sky．
He could see the cave now，even darker in the morning light．The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it．He had to force himself to go closer．Why was it so much more mysterious now？But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble．He needn't go in all the way…

4．Born with easy-broken bone disease，Zhang Yonghong is only half a meter tall and must use a wheelchair．His thin arms and legs can hardly support any weight，and he is unable to take care of himself．However，his hands are able to produce fine paper-cuts，which will free his daughter from the same disease．
To support himself，he learned how to make pap er-cut art from his mother．He sold his artwork and taught his techniques in Xi'an for eight years before discovering his young daughter inherited the disease from him，leading Zhang to move his family to Beijing for his daughter's better treatment five years ago．
The daughter's treatment costs about 30，000yuan a year．The family's savings was used up in two years，and Zhang was forced to start to sell his work in underground passages with his healthy wife，who soon left him because of the hard life．
With a little help from government，he was lucky to meet some kindhearted people in Beijing．A Hong Kong businessman gave 60，000yuan to him last year to treat the girl and start a small shop on Qiangulouyuan，which is known as a famous hutong that attracts lots of tourists over holidays．Zhang Rui，a university graduate，spends most of her time helping Zhang sell the paper-cuts，translating the stories of the paper-cuts into English and selling the works on the roadside of Nanluoguxiang．
However，the artist still lives beyond his income （收入） and struggles to continue his small business．"Selling paper-cuts is his only source of income．Without this，he can't support the family and treat his daughter，"says Zhang Rui，who hopes more people will help Zhang．

6．American society is not nap（午睡）friendly．In fact，says David Dinges，a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine．"There's even a ban against admitting we need sleep．"Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work．A proverb says："Some sleep five hours，nature requires seven，laziness nine and wickedness（邪恶） eleven．"
Wrong!The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them．"We have to totally change our attitude toward napping，"says Dr William Dement of Stanford University，the godfather of sleep research．
Last year a national commission（委员会） led by Dement put forward an"American sleep debt"which one member said was as important as the national debt．The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness：people causing industrial accidents of falling asleep while working．This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House．According to recent reports，our President is trying to take a half-hour nap every afternoon．
About 60percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity．We seem to have"a mid-afternoon quiet state"，or"a secondary sleep gate"．Sleeping 15minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed．Clearly，we were born to nap．
We Superstars of Napping don't nap just to make up for the lost sleep after a night shift（夜班）．Rather，we take it，whenever，wherever and at whatever time we feel like it．I myself have napped in buses，cars，planes and on boats； on floors and beds； and in libraries，offices and museums．

3．When you turn on the radio，you hear an advertisement．When you watch television，you hear and see an advertisement．If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine，again you find an advertisement．If you walk down the street，you see one advertisement board after another．All day，every day，people who want to sell you something competent to catch your attention．As a result，advertisements are almost everywhere．In the West，advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media（大众媒介） work．The government does not give money to mass media such as TV stations，newspapers，magazines and radio stations．They are all owned privately．So where does the money come from？From advertisements．Without advertisements，there would not be these private businesses．
Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is？Through the years，people have given different answers to the question．For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of"keeping your name before the public"．And some people thought that advertising was"truth well told"．Now more and more people describe it in this way：Advertising is the paid，nonpersonal，and usually persuasive description of goods，services and ideas through various media．

4．After commuting，cooking dinner and doing household chores，the average parent has just 30minutes to devote to their children in the evenings，according to a new study．One in four working parents worry that half an hour simply isn't enough，while almost half fret that they aren't a good enough parent during the week．
However，parenting experts believe just 12minutes a day may be enough for mothers and fathers to fully reconnect with their child-as long as they ask the right questions．Child psychologist Dr Claire Halsey said asking a series of open-ended questions can help improve parents'relationship with their children．
Among the questions recommended in the research are："How many times have you smiled today-what made you laugh？"；"Can you act out what you did at breaktime？"；"Who is taller-mummy or your teacher？"and"What are the names of the toys you played with today？"Parents of older children are advised to start up a conversation with："I've got a great story for you but I want one in return…you first!"or"Tell me some school gossip …I'm all ears!"
Dr Halsey，working with the makers of Ribena Plus，who commissioned the research，said："There is no one as tough on their own parenting skills as a parent-but this study shows there is no need for parents to be so harsh．It's hard for working parents to juggle all their responsibilities and it can feel like guilt is simply a parent's lot-but it's absolutely not．By using clever tactics such as a little preparation alongside use of open-ended questions-such as‘Tell me what the best bit about your day was？'-parents can reduce the time worrying about chores and work and spend more time learning about their children's day．"
