【题目】Boston Tourist Attractions and Sightseeing

Duck Tours

One of the most popular tours in and around Boston are the legendary Duck Tours, which show you the best that the city has to offer. World War II vehicles take you on a scenic drive around the most famous sites and attractions in the city. With interesting explanation, this novel tour is an enjoyable and fun way to see the city and very much recommended.

New England Aquarium

The aquarium is home to over 7,000 fish and a collection of many different sea creatures. The city’s most visited tourist attraction is complete with exhibit space, gift shop and a cafe with spectacular views of the city and harbor. It also offers whale-watching tours with indoor and outdoor seating — and even seal or walrus (海象) shows.

Boston Public Library

Built in 1848, the Boston Public Library was the first free publicly supported city library in America. With more than 650,000 photographs, 100,000 prints and 250 different papers in the “Newspaper Room” the library now has Internet access, two restaurants and an on-line store with reproductions of its priceless artwork. All exhibits are open to the public and books m only the beginning.

Bull and Finch Pub - Home of Cheers

This world-famous pub is the inspiration for the hugely successful sitcom (情景喜剧) “Cheers”. Although the outside is the same as on television, the inside is completely different. However, although unexpected, this is not a real disappointment as the busy pub is full of reminders of Cheers. The menu serves typical bar food, and is very popular with tourists

If visiting family or staying at one of the luxury Boston hotels downtown, you may want to corner purchasing a “Boston City Pass” as this will enable you to pay half price for most the finest attractions.

【题目】Money Matters

Parents should help their children understand money. 1So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.

1.The basic function of money

Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy,give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员).2When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money,you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.

2.Money lessons

Approach money lessons with openness and honesty.3 If you must say no to a child's request to spend money,explain,“You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or,if the request is for many different things,say,“You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”

3.4

Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands(品牌) of a product—a name-brand butter and a generic(一般的),for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 5 If he chooses the cheaper brand,allow him to make another purchase(购买) with the money saved. Later,you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.

A. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.

B. Wise decisions

C. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.

D. Tell your child why he can—or cannot—have certain things.

E. The value of money

F. Permit the child to choose between them.

G. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you.

【题目】I have an interest in photography and follow many photography Instagram accounts. Just like me, a friend of mine has a similar interest. The only difference is that he is a traveller and has taken hundreds of beautiful photos. He is really talented.

Having returned from one trip, he shared some of his latest photos. Blown away by the images, I asked him why he hadn’t started his own Instagram account of shots.

“It’s hard to start when there are already so many other websites devoted to travel photography with thousands of followers”, he explained. “What if I don’t get any followers or what if people don’t like my shots?”

“Yet how will you ever know if you don’t try?” I asked.

He just shrugged and quickly changed the subject. I knew this feeling well. The feeling of self-doubt.

That was when I was ten years old. I participated in a guitar competition. My grandfather helped me write a short speech to address the crowd and judges. But as the competition began, doubt consumed me and questions flooded my head. I thought to myself, “If I do say the speech, will the other girls laugh at me? Will the judges think I’m being silly for doing my own talk?”

Then with a shake in my voice I said, “My name is Heidi Ceci. I live in St. Catharines and I play the guitar.” Nothing more... and nothing less.

But the next girl walked up to the microphone and actually said a speech. I just stared at her in complete disbelief. No one seemed to be judging her for doing something different. In fact, they applauded louder for her than any other girl.

From then on, I never let fear and doubt rule my decisions. Whatever happens, I always take chances and have a try.

1What stops the author’s friend starting his Instagram account of shots?

A. Having no time. B. Lacking money.

C. No desire to share. D. Doubt about himself.

2Why did the author fail to say the prepared speech?

A. She was not allowed to say.

B. She was afraid of being laughed at.

C. She forgot the content of the speech.

D. She thought the speech was not good enough.

3How did the author feel when she heard another girl’s self-introduction?

A. Surprised. B. Angry.

C. Excited. D. Curious.

4What lesson can we learn from the text?

A. No one is perfect. B. It’s no use regretting.

C. Every one of us needs encouraging. D. It is important to being confident.

When you are travelling in Thailand, which means of transport is the best choice?
You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand. It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north. The most popular bikes are the little 125 cc Honda Dream which you can get for about 150 baht (铢) a day or as little as 3,000 baht per month, making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.
Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi. When you are in cities in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads. Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter(计程表). They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!
The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good, so renting cars is another way to get around. The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable(合理的) price. It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West. Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand, more expensive than American prices, but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe. In the past, Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in—signs were generally in Thai only, making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around. But now, the situation is improved. In a lot of places, even the farthest corners of the country, street signs are in both Thai and English.
(1)To a foreigner, the most economical way to get around Thailand is renting a ________.
A.motorbike
B.car
C.taxi
D.bike
(2)What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?
A.To make sure there is a meter in it.
B.To take a taxi parked outside hotels.
C.To take a taxi going on the road.
D.To bargain with the driver over the price.
(3)It was difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past because ________.
A.there were too many traffic jams on the roads
B.the signs were written only in their own language
C.there were no signs at the farthest corners
D.the quality of the roads was not good
