Traveling can be a fun way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break — a week-long school vacation in the United States. But what if you're a student and don't have enough money for a trip? Don't worry. Here are some useful suggestions.
●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for traveling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.
●Plan ahead: Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security and savings.
●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.
●Plan sensibly: Write down how much you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.
●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.
●Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.
●Go off the beaten path: Tourist sites may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a less-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.
●Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes.
Remember medicine in case you get sick, and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.
●Use the Internet: The net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www. travelcity. corn, www. bargainslowestfare. corn and www. economictravelcity. com.
By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.

In the case of mobile phones, change is everything. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.
First, let’s talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place. If you call my mobile, you get me. If you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.
This has several implications（含义）. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting” influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8”,but “text me around 8 and we’ll see where we all are.”
Texting changes people as well. In their paper, “Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS (Short Message Service) Text Messaging", two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”－those who prefer voice to text messages and those who prefer text to voice.
They found that the mobile phone’s individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.
Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.
Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera- phones intrude（侵入）on people’s privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn’t worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.
小题1:The “meeting” influence of a mobile phone refers to the fact that ________.
A．people can arrange their meeting place and time more flexibly
B．people have to make a firm plan about when and where to meet
C．people are able to meet someone at any place and any time
D．people have to attend phone meetings than ever before
小题2:According to the two British researchers, the Social and Psychological Effects are most likely to be seen on ________.
A．talkersB．the “speakeasy”C．the “space maker”D．texters
小题3:According to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?
A．talkersB．the “speakeasy”C．the “spacemaker” D．texters
小题4:Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．the Influence of Short Message Service
B．Changes Caused by Mobile Phone Use
C．Changes in the Use of the Mobile
D．Body Language and the Mobile Phone

If you give employees the right to telework, be careful! The very technology that enables working from home could be   1  its value to your company. Although productivity may increase in the short term, working from home may prevent your teams from working   2 .
While remote workers may indeed be happier, more carefree and   3 , that doesn’t mean it’s good for their   4 . A company is more than just the work that needs to be done, plus the workers who are there to do it.
A healthy organization has a   5  that allows the sharing of values and ideas and the   6  
of competitive spirit that allows a company to be flexible and creative.
However, working from home can fail to motivate remote workers in the same way as a/an
  7  company environment. As a result, companies   8  — despite the increases in productivity and happiness that come with teleworking.
In work environments where co-workers socialize and have   9  lunchtime chats, some real learning gets done. A lot of information   10  takes place, which allows the very same workers to increase their   11  to the organization. There is something   12  about spending the time together, about sharing meals, about   13  ideas, and about asking.
Magical or not, the fact remains that teleworking generally doesn’t work well. As technological change   14  and marketplace pressures increase, companies need to become more flexible and creative, just to keep up.
Strange as it sounds, the very technology that made teleworking a real option is now requiring workers to remain in the   15 .

Sometimes ideas do not appear when you are concentrating your attention and mysteriously appear when you are not. Modern science recognizes this as a result of incubating (酝酿) the problem in your subconscious (潜意识) yet can't account for why it occurs.
When you quit thinking about a subject and decide to forget it, your subconscious mind doesn't quit working. Your thoughts keep making associations. This is why you're experienced suddenly remembering names, getting solutions to problems you've forgotten about, and ideas out of the blue when you're relaxing and not thinking about any particular thing.
You may try solving a problem with your subconscious mind by writing a letter to it. The letter should read just like a letter you would send to a real person. Seal the letter and put it away.
Let go of the problem. Don't work on it. Forget it. Do something else. This is the incubation stage when much of what goes on occurs outside your focused awareness, in your unconscious. Open the letter in two days. The answer might magically pop into your mind.
An advertising agency was under pressure to come up with a marketing campaign to introduce new television shows. Bob, the creative director, wrote the following letter which he addressed to his subconscious mind. He called his subconscious mind "Secret Expert".
Secret Expert,
I need to come up with a new marketing program to introduce a new season of TV shows. I'm interested in coming up with some kind of campaign that will capture the audience's attention more than one time. Is there something people need that we can advertise on? What kind of products, foods and services should we investigate? I need a fresh approach to advertising. Your mission is to give me a new idea on how to advertise TV shows.
Thanks, Bob
Bob mailed the letter to himself and when he read what he had written, he got his brainstorm, which was to advertise on "eggs". Somehow an association between "foods", "need", and "fresh" approach" inspired the thought of using "fresh eggs to advertise". He arranged to place laser imprints of the slogans for the TV shows on eggs —some thirty million.
The consumers look at a single egg at least a few times, when they buy the eggs at the store, when they transfer them to the refrigerator, and when they crack them open. It's unlike any other ad medium in the world, because you're looking at it while you're using it.
小题1:You remember names when you're not thinking about them because your subconscious mind ____.
A．is still workingB．is full of names
C．stops workingD．improves your memory
小题2:Which of the following was included in Bob's letter to his subconscious mind?
A．How the solution could be found.
B．When he would need its help.
C．What product could be advertised
D．What he wanted it to do
小题3:During the incubation stage, your focused awareness _____.
A．waits for an answerB．controls your thoughts
C．doesn't workD．helps your unconscious
小题4: In what way did the ad on eggs help?
A．It helped Bob to get a brainstorm
B．It made the TV shows known to people repeatedly.
C．It greatly increased the sales of eggs.
D．It made sure consumers could get fresh eggs.
小题5:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Difference between Subconscious and Awareness
B．A fresh Approach to Advertising
C．Communicating with Your Subconscious Mind
D．Solving problems with your Subconscious Mind
I find some of the ways in which Chinese parents show love for their children rather surprising. Obviously there are some pretty big differences between our behaviors and theirs in this respect. Most Chinese children seem to get whatever they want, from ice creams, sweets and toys to endless attention from the adults around them. Is this a sort of spoiling or love? I wonder.
Most westerners would think it is a sort of spoiling rather than love. We think love means educating your children and bringing them up to lead an independent life. That includes learning to accept the fact that he can't get everything he wants. As an adult, he will not always get the quite expensive car he hunts for; she will not always manage to acquire the beautiful dress she longs for. So we try to teach our children early to cope with the disappointment of not getting what they want.
I find too much such kind of love for the children can actually spoil them. To my surprise, it seems that the life of a Chinese child is rather hard. Without doubt, the child is the very center of a whole circle of adults, but on the other hand he or she is also expected to start studying according to adults' wishes. Many children of my son's age take piano lessons, painting classes and even English lessons. It looks as if Chinese adults think that just playing without learning anything is a waste of time. So in this respect our children appear spoiled, just because they are allowed to play. But without this sort of play how can western children develop such free and rich imaginations? In fact the connection between this imagination and the creativity is so important in the children’s future life.
小题1:In which way do most Chinese children seem to be spoiled?
A．They can be supported by their parents.
B．They can play whenever they want.
C．They need not behave themselves.
D．Their demands can always be satisfied.
小题2:In the author's opinion, the life of a Chinese child is         .
A．rather hardB．rather easyC．independentD．colorful
小题3:The author thinks Western children appear spoiled because         .
A．they can manage time by themselves
B．they can have the freedom to play
C．they can take piano lessons
D．they may have expensive toys
小题4:The best title of the passage could be         .
A．Chinese children's early education
B．How to develop kids' imagination
C．What is the real love for children
D．The imagination and creativity
Imagine that Mom and Dad have friends over, and you have to talk to adults all evening. Say the       thing and the parents might get mad. But, say      ,  and they’ll think you weren’t friendly. So,     can you talk with adults?
It’s __ __. Just ask them questions about themselves. “Many of them like to talk about what they do for a living,” suggests psychologist Tim Ursiny.
Kids can also talk to grown-ups about     . Ask what the last good movie they saw was, because people at dinner parties “     ” when the conversation turns to movies, Ursiny says. If a grown-up is     Harry Potter, it’s OK to talk about your love for Harry. It’s a(n)    __ topic, one that both grown-ups and kids can enjoy, so       and talk about whether Dumbledore is really dead.
But       the topic of video games. “Adults don’t want to hear about your video game      they play it,” Ursiny explains.
Adults also don’t want to hear slang(俚语). Don’t use language they don’t      . Ursiny says kids should learn to speak to other people in their own language.
     most adults aren’t into slang, they do remember what it was like to be a kid. Ursiny recommends asking adults what __ __ was like when they were your age. “It might be a fun discussion if you       your 10th-grade experience with theirs.”       you chat with your parents in advance to find out which topics are off-limits (禁区).
Also, don’t chat about the things that make your parents feel guilty. Don’t mention        stuff such as how Dad has been sleeping on the couch, Ursiny says. And don’t complain that Mom has been late preparing breakfast.
     , Ursiny says, kids should try to put themselves in their parents’      . Learning how to      that type of understanding might help you out in the future. “The most successful people can develop a sympathetic feeling for others,” he says.

One way to sell stuff is to make things that people want to buy. Another way is to offer “free trials” and then hit customers with bills. This brings us to PDC Education Ltd, run by Rebecca Jordan and Kirsty Weir of Leeds, whose website teaching-resources-uk.com offers teaching plans for teachers.
Rosemarie Brady, finance manager of Rutlish School in Merton, southwest London, tells us that one teacher called Amanda Seyfried downloaded the “free” resources. “Unfortunately in very small print, they state that unless the free trial is cancelled, then you will be charged,” she says.
A year has gone by and now they’ve been sent a second bill for 500 pounds, just because they forgot to cancel the “free trial”.
Merton Council—and it’s not the only one—has sent a warning to all its schools saying: “ Only in the very (easily missed) small print of the terms and conditions is it explained that, after the 14-day trial, schools will be automatically signed for a two-year contact with the company.”
“This will only be stopped if the teacher who requested the trial writes directly to PDC to cancel before the 14 days have expired(期满). The fee can be as much as hundreds of pounds, with the threat of debt recovery if they are not paid.”
Among the online complaints is this one from a teacher. “How disappointed I am that they will not even consider seriously re-negotiating the invoice(清单).”
Rebecca Jordan of PDC Education said, “ The whole purpose behind the free trial is that we have confidence in our business. This free trial period gives teachers the chance to see what is on offer without having to commit to a payment.”
Only a “very small number” of teachers have complained when they receive an invoice, she added. “ Their only complaint is that they have not checked what they are signing up to but that is not our fault, the position is totally clear. The prices and the trial terms are clear to see on the online sign up page.”
It’s true the terms and conditions are on their website. But perhaps it’s unhelpful that they run to almost 3000 words.

A．Merton Council suggests that PDC Education Ltd should be closed down
B．the website teaching-resources-uk.com uses tricks to cheat people out of money

D．the education website promises to enlarge their warning print and cut down the term

A．CriticalB．ReservedC．DoubtfulD．Positive
小题3: What might be the best title for the passage?
A．An education websiteB．A lesson in “free” trials

Dae Jon is the city in South Korea, where I was born and grew up. There was a public park there. It was a very popular place, and I have tons of precious (珍贵的) memories from times spent there.
Our teachers often took us to that park for a spring or fall picnic. When I learned martial arts (武术)—Tae Kwon Do, my master usually took us there to train us. There was a hill there which was not high, so I could reach the peak (山顶) within forty minutes even though I was very young. From the peak, I could see a lot of places if it was a sunny day.
There was a huge rock on the top called Eagle Rock because the shape of the rock looked like the head of an eagle. We spent lots of fun days there. We played hide-and-seek within the limited area, and we sometimes caught frogs and fish in the pond. When we felt thirsty, we enjoyed drinking cold spring water.
When I was a ten-year-old boy, I usually went to the park with my father to exercise early in the morning. It was quite dark, so I sometimes felt afraid, but after I got used to going there, I enjoyed breathing the fresh air and hearing the birds sing.
Recently, I went back to the park to remember my good times there. When I arrived at the entrance, I was surprised because it didn’t seem to be the same as I remembered it. Everything has changed in the thirteen years since I last saw it, but the good memories soon came back. I could almost imagine a boy playing there with a slight smile and shaking hands with me.
