  Life is like potato salad;when it’s shared it becomes a picnic.

   When my three children were young,my husband,Roy, and I were very 1 ,even on weekends.

   “Can we go on a picnic,Mom?” my six-year-old daughter,Becky begged (祈求) . “Please. ”

   I had said no so many times in the 2 months,and I decided the usual Saturday morning chores could wait. To her 3 ,I agreed.

   I prepared a few sandwiches and 4 a cooler with ice and drinks and called Roy 5 . My eleven- year-old twin sons put the cooler and the picnic basket in the trunk and off we went to spend some 6 time together as a family.

   About the time I got the lunch spread out (铺开) on the 7 ,Roy arrived just 8 .

   That was one of the happiest meals we ever shared together. The meal was filled with laughter. We felt a closeness that had been hidden by work and school 9 for so many months. Roy and the boys skipped rocks into the lake. Becky fed the ducks and I sat quietly at the picnic table,10 God for blessing me with such a wonderful family.

   That night as our 11 went to bed,I kissed their cheeks and realized what a wonderful life I had.

   As I walked out of the room I realized that even during the busiest 12 we could have a picnic when it's shared with the ones you love.

   Even though the kids have now grown up and 13 from home,I can still remember how I felt that day while sitting at the picnic table.

   Maybe today would be a good time to 14 potato salad,so call all of my grown kids,feed some hungry ducks and skipped a few rocks into the lake. Since life is like potato salad,let's make it a 15 .(浙 江省杭州市2011—2012学年八年级第二学期全科竞赛英语试卷)

It was a new to Jason. He thought of his bird with no and the cake he wanted to buy for his mother, but was that he would not tell a lie. Though he was a poor newsboy, he had been some good things.

When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.

Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.

Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.

Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”

Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.

1.How do you understand‘Point 1 —The telephone creates the need to communicate, …’?

A. People don’t communicate without telephone.

B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.

C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.

D. People communicate more because of more traffic.

2.Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?

A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.

B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well as little secret to people.

C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.

D. Mobile phones are part of people’s life.

3.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through _______.

A. the TV screen

B. a fax machine

C. the phone line hooked up to the computer

D. a microphone

4.The best heading for the passage is _________.

A. Phone Power

B. Kinds of Phone

Football T-shirts are more commonly connected with boys than girls. This can often cause a problem when you want to find a cool shirt for a girl. That is not to say that there are no cool shirts out there for girls to wear. The problem is that they are often harder to find than the ones for boys.

You can get custom (订制的) shirt printed for girls from a number of custom print stores. Of course you have to make sure that they are legally allowed to use the logos (商标) and colours of the team you want to support.

You can also go through official channels to get the shirt you want. The official channels will generally be the large sportswear stores or the official stores of the teams. These stores will be able to use the colours of the teams and even put the name of the person who the shirt is for on it.

If you do not feel like you have to try the T-shirts on, then an online store may be your best choice. The reason for this is that you can visit various stores and find the best ones.

If you want to see what the T-shirt looks like in real life, then going to a store is the best choice. Large sportswear stores often have football shirts. These are the best places to go if you do not live close to an official store. And these stores usually have lower prices than the official stores.

Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively（不引人注意地）and leave no mark.

Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in natural parks.

Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite（野营地）seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.

Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum（最小化的） influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made——changing it should be unnecessary.

1.You needn’t ask for permission when camping in ________.

A．national parks in England

B．most parts of Scotland

C．crowded lowland Britain

D．most parts of England

2.The last paragraph mainly deals with ________.

A．protecting animals

B．building a campfire

C．camping in woodland

D．finding a campsite with privacy

3.The passage is mainly about ________

A．the protection of campsites

B．the importance of wild camping

C．the human influence on campsites

D．the dos and don’ts of wild camping
