Camping is a good way to spend time with your kids and to show them how wonderful nature can be. Through camping, children can discover new things about nature, such as flowers, birds, and other small animals. Camping gives kids time to get away from all the electronics of today's culture. So it's necessary to plan exciting and enjoyable family camping trips with your children while they're young.
When planning your family camping trip, consider the activities your kids like: games, hiking, swimming, boating, bicycling, etc. Select a camping place that has some of the activities the kids are interested in. Meal planning is an important part of your camping trip. Plan the meals together, and kids love to choose what they want to eat.
When starting to pack for your trip, let the kids pack their own things. Each person should have his or her own sleeping bag with a luggage bag to put it in. Personal items should be packed with their sleeping bags. Encourage the kids to put their things in a certain place and always return it when they have finished using it.
When you've arrived at your campsite, make all the camping activities a family activity, which will help children to realize how important teamwork is. Everyone can have his/her own job sitting up the campsite. Meal time can be a fun time. So let the older ones help with the cooking on your outdoor camping stove while the younger ones get the picnic table ready.
1. Which of the following is the best place for a family camping?
A. A place covered with forests.
B. A place where kids can find various foods they like.

When you purchase fresh-cut flowers, do you think about where they came from? It might make sense to think they were grown somewhere nearby. The reality, though, is that the cut flower trade is increasingly international. Today, thanks to airplanes and high-tech cooling systems, even the most delicate flower can be exported, and sold in a florist thousands of kilometers away from where it was grown.
The country that dominates the world cut flower trade is the Netherlands. It handles about 60 percent of the world’s cut flowers. The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties. Dutch companies and the government invest a considerable amount of money in flower research. Their scientists look for ways to lengthen a flower’s vase life, to strengthen flowers to prevent them from being damaged while traveling, and also to strengthen the natural fragrance of the flowers.
Despite the Netherlands’ dominance of the flower market, there are many places with a better climate for growing flowers, and the climate of Ecuador is almost perfect. Mauricio Davalos is the man responsible for starting Ecuador’s flower industry. “Our biggest edge is nature,” he claims. “Our roses are the best in the world.” Every year, Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the U.S. alone. The industry has brought employment opportunities and a stronger economy to regions of the country. “My family has TV now. There are radios,” says Yolanda Quishpe, 20, who picked roses for four years.
To others, the increasingly international nature of the flower trade is very bad news. In recent years, local growers in the U.S. faced huge competition from international flower companies, and many lost their businesses, Lina Hale, an independent rose grower in California, said her father had predicted the situation. “I see a freight train coming down the track,” he warned her, “and it’s coming straight towards us.”
1. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Cut flowers can survive a long trip.
B. You should buy flowers from local florists.
C. Flowers you buy come from far away places.
D. Few thinks about where they buy your flowers.
2. Which of the following are mentioned as large investors in flower research?
A. Dutch companies and the government
B. airplane and high-tech cooling companies
C. Ecuador’s local flower growers and pickers
D. American businessmen and their government
3.The underlined word in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. end
B. advantage
C. challenge
D. difference
4. What did Lina Hale’s father mean when he said, “I see a freight train coming down the track and it’s coming straight toward us.”?
A. He could predict a train was soon to arrive.
B. He knew his business would be threatened.
C. He thought customers wouldn’t want roses.
D. He thought trains were the new way to move flowers.

My family live on a farm, in the middle of a small jungle. Every day after school, I go to the fields with my father. Once, at the corner of our field, I encountered a shy baby deer. Naturally, I tried to pet it, but it ran away. Eventually, he started accepting food from me. Soon we were familiar with each other. I called him Choco. I can’t live without him and he can’t live without me.
One day I was playing with Choco on the farm. I sadly noticed two men standing just opposite our farm. I kept on playing till dusk, when I suddenly had to go back to home. As soon as I walked in, Hardy, My dog, greeted us, wagging his tail.
That night, Choco probably went to his hut. I was at home and in bed, but my mind was still with the road and the men. Why did they come to watch us? I was worried. I couldn’t fall asleep as usual.
The next morning, I could find Choco nowhere. I was sure the two men had taken MY CHOCO! My mind was uncontrollable as I followed Hardy in his search for Choco. We finally reached the place. It was a big house, with an open a gate. Hardy jumped in, and I followed him. As was expected, Choco was there beyond thefence. I must rescue him. All of a sudden, a man and a black dog started chasing us, so we ran away.
The next day at school, I met my old cousin. We discussed the matter for hours and finally, an idea came to us.
