When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of 1.______ ( I ) decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested they 2._____ stay at “ bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance 3._____ (speak) English with the family. My friends accepted my advice, but they came back with some 4.____ (fun ) stories.

“ We did not stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “ because we found that most families were away on holiday.” It was obviously impossible. Finally I understood what 5.____ (happen). My friends spoke little English, and they thought“VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, 6.____ the Spainish word for “holidays” is “vacancies”. So they did not go to the houses with the signs outside saying “ VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went 7.____ ( direct ) to the houses with the signs saying“NO VACANCIES ” , because they thought this meant the 8.____ ( own ) of the houses were not away on holiday. But in fact, all of these houses 9._____ (fill ) with travelers. As 10.____ result, they stayed at hotels!

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 plants being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees 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 through 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.

1.In Paragraph 2, the author mainly tells us to___________.

A. buy 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

2.What’s the benefit of plants growing together?

A. It provides owners good company.

B. It makes it convenient to look after them.

C. It helps the air around them slightly wet.

D. It allows owners to draw a pleasant picture.

3.While watering the plants, what should we remember to do?

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 watering in wet weather.

4.What is the best time to feed the plants?

A. When the soil is dry.

B. When the temperature is high.

C. When their growth is active.

D. When they have just been planted.

Some people go through life positively. 1. Luckily, you can learn to become positive. If you become more positive, things will become brighter day by day. It’s not because things are any better, but because how you look at them will change. Here are a few things positive people do differently.

They find something to look forward to every day. Whether it’s catching up on a favorite TV show, trying out a new dessert recipe, or having a phone conversation with a friend in another town, these things don’t have to be big. 2. .

3. Joy isn’t so hard to find. You can even find joy in the tiniest things — a funny text from a friend or a beautiful sunny day — because it adds up. Soon, you won’t have to stop and smell the roses because you’ll be smelling them all the time. So learn to enjoy the small things in your life.

They stay busy. Being busy doesn’t mean living under much stress. 4. It means having something to look forward to every day. Start a hobby. Fill your weekends with your hobby. Remember, living your life to the fullest is up to you.

5. When in doubt, choose kindness. Positive people look on the bright side, sure, but they also tend to pay it forward by passing on their positive energy to others.

C. They are kind.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项

King Juan Carlos of Spain once insisted “kings don’t give up the throne(王位）, they die in their sleep.” But embarrassing scandals and the popularity of the republican left in the recent Euro-elections have forced him to eat his words and stand down. So does the Spanish crisis suggest that monarchy(君主制) is seeing its last days? Does that mean the writing is on the wall for all European royals, with their magnificent uniforms and majestic lifestyles?

The Spanish case provides arguments both for and against monarchy. When public opinion is particularly polarized, as it was following the end of the Franco regime, monarchs can rise above mere politics and symbolize a spirit of national unity.

It is this apparent transcendence（超越） of politics that explains monarchs continuing popularity as heads of state. And so, the Middle East excepted, Europe is the most monarch- filled region in the world, with 10 kingdoms (not counting Vatican City and Andorra). Most royal families have survived because they allow voters to avoid the difficult search for a non-controversial but respected public figure.

Even so, kings and queens undoubtedly have a downside. Symbolic of national unity as they claim to be, their very history and sometimes the way they behave today symbolizes outdated and indefensible privileges and inequalities. At a time when Thomas Piketty and other economists are warning of rising inequality and the increasing power of inherited wealth, it is strange that wealthy noble families should still be the symbolic heart of modern democratic（民主的）states.

The most successful monarchies try their best to abandon or hide their old noble ways. Princes and princesses have day-jobs and ride bicycles, not horses (or helicopters). Even so, these are wealthy families who party with the international 1%, and media interference makes it increasingly difficult to maintain the right image.

1.According to the first two paragraphs, King Juan Carlos of Spain

A. used to enjoy high public support

B. was unpopular among European royals

C. eased his relationship with his rivals

D. gave up his throne in embarrassment

2.Monarchs are kept as heads of state in Europe mostly

A. owing to their undoubted and respectable status

B. to achieve a balance between tradition and reality

C. to give voters more public figures to look up to

D. due to their everlasting political symbolizing

3.Which of the following is shown to be strange, according to Paragraph 4?

A. The noble families’ excessive dependence on inherited wealth

B. The role of the nobility in modern democracies

C. The simple lifestyle of the noble families

D. The nobility’s sticking to their privileges

4.Which of the following is the best title of the text?

A. Carlos, a good example of All European Monarchs

B. Europe, the most monarch-filled region in the world

C. Carlos, a Lesson for All European Monarchs

D. Europe, symbolic heart of modern democracy.

I work in a big factory in a town 1. is quite far from my home. One day，after a whole 2.(day) work，I went back home by bus. That day was 3. long，hard one for me as the stress from work weighed heavily on my mind.

A girl4.(sit) next to me asked me some questions 5. (causal) and we had a short conversation. I 6.(think) to myself that she was just a stranger to me and didn't take much interest.

7. a while，she suddenly handed me some chocolates and said that it was her birthday. I immediately responded with a smile and my heart felt free of the stress that I was carrying．In a single moment I felt the heaviness of the day 8. (transform) into lightness of a feather. Her simple act gave me joy even if I don't particularly enjoy9.(sweet) as much. The only thing that I could do 10.(be) that I wished her a long life. I can't remember her face now but recalling the incident makes me happy.

Now scientists have discovered the first evidence that the animals actually behave like their masters. Just like children, they adopt a “look and learn” approach which means they can mimic (模仿) human's actions when going about their tasks.

Biologists and psychologists at the universities of Vienna and Oxford designed an experiment to test the theory that dogs do have the ability to copy what they see, using a simple wooden box. In the study, ten owners showed their dogs how to open the wooden box, sometimes using their heads to push a handle and sometimes using their hands.

In the first part of the test, five dogs were rewarded with a piece of sausage for copying their owners' actions. The other five were rewarded with food for not copying, and using other methods. With each dog the experiment was repeated hundreds of times, and the time taken for a dog to get it “right” on 85 percent of attempts (17 goes out of 20) was recorded. The dogs encouraged to mirror their owners reached this point almost three times sooner on average than those rewarded for not copying them. In the second part of the test, all the dogs were only rewarded for copying the method their owners used. The five dogs previously rewarded for copying their owners reached the 85 percent mark more than twice as the other five.

In a paper published in Proceeding of the Royal Society, they concluded, “Like humans, dogs can't help imitating actions they see.” Going further, they said, “The results suggest the imitative (模仿的) behavior of dogs is shaped more by their developmental interactions with humans than by their evolutionary (进化的) history of domestication (驯化).”

Caroline Kisko, from the Kennel club, said, “A dog's behavior is influenced much like that of a child learning right from wrong and adopting similar patterns of behavior. We hope that owners understand the importance of their actions and use this knowledge to set good examples and therefore positively influence the behavior of their pets.”

1.What's the best title of the passage?

A. Dogs Are Intelligent Animals

B. Dogs Are like Children Most

2.The underlined part “they” in Paragraph 4 most probably refers to ________.

C. all the people involved in the experiment

3.The researchers believe dogs' imitative behavior comes mainly from ______.

A. domestication B. human rewards

C. evolution D. human-dog interactions

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Masters should influence their dogs as early as possible.

B. A man's bad behavior may influence his dog.

C. Dogs can't be influenced by men easily.

D. Dogs always behave positively.
