I was playing at my cousin house. Since his family was rich than mine, he had more toys than I did. There was one on particular I’d always wanted. I put into my pocket when he wasn’t looking. I guessed, even at that age, I would never be able to enjoy to playing with the toy or faced my cousin again; I would always know I’d done something wrong. Late on, my aunt drove me home. When she dropped me off, I pulled out the toy slow and gave it back. She knows what had happened, but she thanked me and ever mentioned it again.

Tricks to Finding the Cheapest Flights

Travel can be a lifesaver. The right vacation at the right time can refresh your body and mind. But ticket prices are sharply on the rise, many have written off travel as too expensive. However, with a few tricks and a little research, there are still lots of great deals to be had on airline tickets.

Early Bird Gets the Deal. Travel experts say that there are certain times of day when more deals are available. Airfares can change three times a day as airlines adjust their prices to fill up flights. Early morning is when the fares tend to be lowest, but it is a good idea to check every five hours to track prices as they change throughout the day. Also, it’s a good idea to check again at 5 pm when the airlines are trying hardest to fill empty seats.

What Wouldn’t a Business Traveler Do? Most business travelers fly on Mondays and Fridays, so Tuesday and Wednesday are the best days. Airlines will usually lower their prices on these days to aggressively try and fill empty seats.

Avoid the Crowds. Fly to popular places at unpopular times. The slowest time of the year for travel is in the Fall between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Again, to try and fill more empty seats, the airlines will lower prices to get people to fly during this time of the year.

Right Place, “Wrong” Time? By flying to popular destinations at unpopular times, you can secure the best prices from travel companies and airlines. Here’s where flexibility in your planning can pay off. Going to the airline websites and planning your vacation around the best ticket prices offered can result in a fun, cost-effective vacation and maybe widen your horizons to a place you might never have considered before.

Package Deals. Many times the best deals on airfare can be found as part of a package rate. Most travel sites have package rates available and they are definitely worth a look. Often times, the entire package (hotel, airfare, rental car, meals, tours ect) is cheaper than just the plane ticket on another site. These deals are especially good on last minute bookings.

【题目】When I was a kid, I was just like every other kid. As usual, I liked being with friends and having fun. But I didn’t like school much. I didn’t like the rule of learning, studying, memorizing, etc. Too much work. As I got into high school, things changed for me. I started reading a lot of books. Books taught me about life and helped me learn about the world. I read around 30 books during each senior year. I learned to love reading then.

Little did I know at that time that I would write books by myself. I’ve written 7 books since then. One book I wrote, Powerful Attitudes, was a huge success within a network marketing company in the USA.

When I was 17 years old, I took about a dozen guitar lessons. I fell in love with guitar music no matter if it is blues, rock, flamenco or classical. I’ve attended concerts and have heard some great guitarists through the years. Recently, I bought myself a piano and began to learn to play it. I’ve made great progress. My knowledge of music and playing guitar has helped me a lot in learning the piano.

Last week, I employed a Chinese teacher to teach me Chinese. I’ve learned about 200 words in my first week. I’m inspired and motivated to learn. In fact, I feel a bit obsessed, thinking of learning Chinese. It’s like a mountain I want to climb and conquer. I’m 56 years old and my love to learn it runs deep in my heart, mindspan> and soul.

What I certainly learned while growing up is to love learning. I never want to stop learning. I never want to stop studying people, life, processes and new things. I think the openness of admitting what you don’t know, makes you a good learner. You never lie to yourself or to others about your knowledge and experience. I have the attitude that if I don’t know something, I will learn to know it.

【1】What can we learn about the author from the passage?

A. He fell in love with reading when he was a child.

B. One of his books enjoyed a lot of success.

C. He began to love music recently.

D. He is good at Chinese.

【2】What does the underlined word “obsessed” mean?

A. Absorbed. B. Satisfied.

C. Concerned. D. Difficult.

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Learning skills. B. Learning methods.

C. Learning attitudes. D. Learning experience.

【题目】David Cameron mistakenly left his eight-year-old daughter in a pub by herself when he drove off without her, as was reported last night.

The Prime Minister(首相)--who had been enjoying Sunday drinks with his family near Chequers--only realized his eldest daughter was missing when he arrived back at his official country house.

The Camerons had been drinking at the Plough Inn, in Cadsden, Buckinghamshire, with their three children and two other families. As they were to leave, Nancy went off to the toilet without telling them.

The Prime Minister was driven back to Chequers, which is two miles from the pub, with protection officers in one car. Mr Cameron thought that Nancy was in the car with his wife, while she thought that their daughter had jumped in with the Prime Minister.

A spokesman for the Prime Minister last night said he was worried when he realized what had happened. They later confirmed that Mr Cameron returned to the pub to pick up Nancy.

“Thankfully when they phoned the pub she was there safe and well,” the spokesman said. “The Prime Minister went down straight away to get her.”

When Mr Cameron arrived back at the pub, he found his daughter happily helping the owner of the pub. It is understood she had been left by herself for 15 minutes.

The spokesman refused to discuss whether Mr Cameron had drunk alcohol. “He had gone with friends at lunchtime, with a number of families with children, and they left in various different vehicles. As you know, the Prime Minister is a very busy man but he always tries to live as normal a life as possible with his family.” he said.

Last night a pub “insider” said: “You’d have thought that someone would have done a headcount or something.”

It’s not like you can look up David Cameron in the phonebook and then ring to say you’ve left your daughter behind. It’s frightening that the Prime Minister of Britain can forget something so important as his own daughter.

【1】What can we learn about the Camerons?

A. Mr Cameron drove home alone.

B. Nancy was left at the pub by chance.

C. Mrs Cameron drove to see her friends.

D. The children went to the pub for a party.

【2】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The British can telephone the Camerons easily.

B. The Prime Minister has the design to live a normal life.

C. The Prime Minister’s drunk driving annoyed the public.

D. The British were shocked at the news about the Camerons.

【3】Where is the passage probably taken from?

A. A story book. B. A biography.

C. A magazine. D. A newspaper.

Aquarium (养鱼缸)

An aquarium can be a small container for a few goldfish. 【1】 Aquariums give people the chance to observe an ecosystem (生态系统) very different from their own.

【题目】My first impression of Miss Vicki was a highly authoritative(权威的) person towering over me. She spoke in a loud voice and the earth shook whenever she marched. That was in the first year of high school. She was a knowledgeable literature teacher then. However, during my first year in school, she struck terror into my heart. And everyone else’s of course. Just the mention of her name made the most annoying classes silent.

However, the two years of junior high passed by rather quickly. Soon I went to senior high class. I had worked hard and got the subject combination that I wished for. Together with a group of old friends, I soon settled down in class comfortably.

To everyone’s surprise, she was fortunate enough to be my teacher that year. I was shocked when I heard the news. This time round, however, I decided not to hide in terror whenever she was near. I decided to face the fact. Instead of trying too hard to lick her boots , I tried my best to be my natural myself in front of her.

Still, I could not shake off the ice-cold impression that she put in my heart. True, her jokes sometimes sent me into fits of laughter, yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment she told them . My lovely class, however, was always ready to laugh at the right time of her amusing stories. After all, we would not want to run the risk of making her angry.

Unluckily, life was not to remain boring. One day we received news that Miss Vicki was to leave Singapore for the Philippines where she would take part in a voluntary teaching program for the poor. We did not know what to say actually. All of us cried at the airport.

【3】What can we learn from paragraph 4?

A. Miss Vicki was a good joke teller.

B. Miss Vicki’s jokes were always boring.

C. Students liked Miss Vicki’s class very much.

D. Students pretended to laugh to please Vicki.

【4】What can we infer about Miss Vicki from the last paragraph?

A. She was dismissed from the school.

B. She was not accepted by the students.

C. She was unwilling to leave her students.

D. She had a strong sense of social responsibility.
