'This was a one-time event; we have never had her get him from school other than this day But it was an emergency, ' her mother said. 'I figured she had gone to get him and taken him home Later that day I saw the picture online and realized that she had taken him back to school. '

Little James quickly fell asleep in his big sister's arms at the high school.

Her teacher was very supportive and didn't mind him being in the class at all. He slept most of the time and if he had become a problem she would have taken him out. She attends an amazing school that clearly sees the value in family and education.

Dishtip. com

If I had to pick just one site to help with restaurant information around the world, it would be Chowhound. com. However, Dishtip. com organizes the world of eating out in the United States in a totally new way: By turkey sandwich or blueberry pie. In other words, by single dish, not by restaurant.

Stay. com

I’m generally doubtful of sites that say they can plan your trips for you. But for a quick information collection, Stay. com is not bad at all.

Here’s what you do: Choose one destination. Then go through the list of top attractions, museums and the like. Click on whatever you want. Those choices will turn into a personalized plan that can be either printed out or sent to your smartphone with an online city map.

Skypicker. com

Skypicker seems like the “explore” page of Kayak. com, but just provides flights within Europe, at very, very cheap price.

I once booked a $48 round trip between Ryanair and Nimes in the south of France at Skypicker. com. When I actually went to Ryanair to book, the cost was $55. think the final cost might be a bit more. But still, a good deal.

Vayama. com

Vayama is a flight search engine that specializes in international travels. It sometimes gives you a lower price on a “secret carrier” whose name and exact cost you don’t know until you’ve actually your ticket.

【题目】Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

What Your “Age” Says About You

Imagine, for a moment, that you had no birth certificate and your age was simply based on the way you feel inside. How old would you say you are?

Like your height or shoe size, the number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact. 1

Scientists are increasingly interested in this quality. They are finding that our “subjective age” may be essential for understanding the reasons why some people appear to be energetic as they grow old — while others fade.

2 It is now well accepted that people tend to mature as they get older, becoming less extroverted ( ) and less open to new experiences. These personality changes are often considered more obvious in the people with older subjective ages.

However, those who feel younger than they really are also become more reliable and less neurotic ( ) as they gain the wisdom that comes with greater life experience. But it doesn’t come at the cost of the energy and vigor of youth. It’s not true that having a lower subjective age leaves us frozen in a state of permanent immaturity.

Feeling younger than your years also seems to come with a lower risk of depression and greater mental wellbeing as we age. 3 Most people felt about eight years younger than their actual chronological age (实际年龄). But some felt they had aged — and the consequences were serious. Feeling between 8 and 13 years older than your actual age resulted in an 18-25% greater risk of death over the study periods, and greater disease burden — even when you control for other demographic ( ) factors such as education, race or marital status.

4 However old you really are, it’s worth questioning whether any of those limitations are coming from the within.

A.It also means better physical health.

B.One of the most interesting aspects of the research has explored how subjective age interacts with our personality.

C.Some studies have explored the potential physical consequences of this difference.

D.These findings can give us all a view of the way our own brains and bodies endure the passing of time.

E.But everyday experience suggests that people often don’t experience ageing the same way.

F.Many researchers are now trying to study how this knowledge might help us live longer.
