Household Chores

Dan, my third child, was especially proud of his ability to cook. That happened because six years after starting out as a single parent, I finally got my first full-time job. I liked the work, but the office was an hour away and the days were 31 .

For the first few weeks, after a long day of work, I would arrive home at 7:00 at night and started preparing dinner. By the time we actually sat down to eat everyone was tired. So we came up with another 32 . Each Sunday I would plan meals for the following week.

But who would do the cooking? Matthew had a part-time job after school. Lisa had to go to the Chess Club. It turned out that fourteen-year-old Dan was usually the first one to arrive home, and so he 33 the responsibility to prepare the meal for us each night.

We spent few weekend evenings cooking together and I taught him simple cooking skills. And for the rest of that year, he made dinner for us every night.

Yes, there were a few bad meals. But it didn’t matter 34 it was a great feeling for me to walk into the door and smell dinner cooking in the house. We were able to start our evening around the table together, enjoying a simple meal and 35 the stories of the day.

One day I read an article about things that make us feel loved. I wondered what made my children feel loved.

Dan’s answer 36 me the most. “I felt loved when I made dinner every night when you were working fulltime,” he said.

“That made you feel loved?”I couldn’t believe it. I’d often had moments of guilt over 37 so much of my children, worrying that I made them do too much chores.

“Yeah, I did,” he said. “I liked learning to cook with you. And I felt that you 38 me to make the meals for the whole family. And that trust made me feel loved.”

I look at our household chores 39 now. They are not so painful and annoying tasks as I thought before; they are part of what it means to be a family together. They are opportunities for us to show love for each other and to feel 40 in return.

Talk to the animals

All kinds of animals can communicate in one way or another. Maybe you have heard about the way bees dance around to send messages to each other and the ways dogs bark (犬吠) to give warnings or to be friendly. But did you know about infrasonic (次声的) communication used by elephants? This is how it works:

Humans hear low sounds like the thunder rumbling (隆隆作响) in the sky. But we don’t hear sounds lower than that. However, animals such as elephants can hear much lower sounds than humans can. And what’s more, they can make lower sounds as well, and they use them to communicate with each other. This is known as infrasound.

The amazing thing about infrasound is that it travels over several kilometers. Sounds which have a higher pitch (音高), like the ones people can hear, don’t travel well through walls, leaves, trees, and so on, which is why we can’t hear sounds from more than 100 meters away. But infrasound is much “stronger”, and things like trees have no effect on it. Therefore it can travel much further. Elephants can hear infrasonic calls from 4 kilometers away!

There have been reports of people watching groups of elephants feeding or resting and then the elephants suddenly all stopped whatever they were doing for no reason at all. They obviously heard a warning call from a long way away, but the people didn’t hear a sound. In places like a zoo or wildlife park where you can get nearer to animals, it is easier to sense when infrasonic sounds are made. When you stand near mother elephants with their babies in a zoo you may notice a slight rumbling in the air every few minutes – not loud or strong, but clearly noticeable. This is infrasonic communication – the mother elephants “talking” to their babies.

45. How do elephants communicate with each other?

A. By dancing around to send messages.

B. By using infrasonic communication.

C. By different sounds of rumbling.

D. By different ways of barking.

46. What is the amazing thing about infrasound?

A. It goes into the sky.

B. It travels very far.

C. It sounds stronger.

D. It stops at walls.

47. Humans can hear ______.

A. sounds with a higher pitch

B. sounds from 100 meters away

C. lower sounds than elephants can

D. lower sounds than thunder rumbling

48. In places like zoos, ______.

A. elephants don’t need to make infrasonic sounds

B. it is easier for elephants to make infrasonic sounds

C. mother elephants don’t let people stand near their babies

D. humans can sense infrasonic sounds when they are madeDynamo – A modern-day magician

When you hear the word “magician”, what springs to mind? A traditional black jacket and top hat with an assistant? It had a rather old-fashioned feeling. But now there’s a new type of magician who is bringing magic back into the mainstream (主流) in Britain. Thanks to a young man called Dynamo, magic and illusion (幻像) are once again super cool.

Dynamo has been famous for his modern act. He doesn’t use a stage (舞台) or an assistant like traditional magic shows. Instead he walks on the streets in casual (休闲的) clothes, accompanied by a hand-held camera holder, sharing his magic with general people, and then quietly walking away, before they can get their head around what has just happened. He doesn’t have a specialty. He is as good at cards and small hand tricks (戏法) as he is at far bigger ones. He can pull out the playing card you were thinking about, put mobile phones in bottles, and change names on bank cards just as easily as walking on water across the River Thames! When it comes to magic, it appears that he can do it all.

Dynamo, aka Steven Frayne, didn’t have the easiest start in life. He was born in northern England, in a poor family and he was brought up by his great-grandfather, who introduced magic to him. School life wasn’t a success and he left for London while he was still a teenager.

In London, Daynamo bought himself a DVD recorder and computer and started filming some of the tricks: Underground Magic. He started having fans after he put his videos online. A couple of thousand people in London watched him walk across the River Thames. A couple of years later, he was offered his own TV show, Magician Impossible, on a small TV channel. In the show, he performs tricks on lots of famous people. Prince Charles became a fan when Dynamo turned a pile of papers on his desk into real money.

Although he may have finally been successful, he hasn’t lost any of his creative drive. “It’s not enough for me to amaze people once or twice,” he says. “I need to keep doing it. That means doing more and more amazing things.”

49. Dynamo is famous for ______.

A. his old-fashioned clothes

B. showing magic tricks quietly

C. doing magic shows on a stage

D. his new way of performing magic

50. What does the underlined phrase “get their head around” mean in Paragraph 2?

A. Turn around.

B. Look around.

C. Understand.

D. Expect.

51. What do we know about Dynamo?

A. His goal is to play more tricks and amaze more people.

B. His great-grandfather made him become a magician.

C. He is better at bigger tricks than small hand tricks.

D. Making his own TV show made him successful.Adolescence (青春期) is thought to be the time when children go off exercise. But a study in Britain suggests it happens much earlier, around the age of seven.

Children should get at least an hour of exercise a day. Many of the 400 children involved in the study did less than this as they got older. The experts from Newcastle tracked (监测) the activity levels of the children over eight years.

On average, boys spent 75 minutes a day exercising when they were seven, falling to 51 minutes when they were 15. The average girl spent 63 minutes a day doing middle to high levels of activity when they were seven, which fell to 41 minutes age 15. Most boys and girls in the study did middle levels of exercise at seven, which then gradually dropped. But 20% of the boys who started with the highest levels of activity at the age of seven, managed to keep their exercise levels over the eight years.

Although the study cannot prove what causes the drop-off in physical activity, Prof John Reilly, study author from the University of Strathclyde, said "something is going wrong in British children" long before adolescence. He said it happened at the same time with the greatest increases in weight – which happen around the age of seven.

However, another different research on the same group of children discovered that the time lost to exercise was spent sitting instead. Sitting is replacing physical activity from the time children start school.

Children aged seven spent half their day sitting, and by the age of 15 this had gone up to three-quarters of their day spent sitting.

"Activity time drops from around the time of going to school, when there's a change in lifestyle," Prof Reilly said. "There should be more activity breaks to break up long periods of sitting."

But he also said that activities outside school –for example, at home –was also important because children only spent half of their year at school.

Eustace de Sousa, the head of Public Health England, said, "About 20% children leave school overweight. It's up to all of us to make sure that children get their one hour of physical activity a day."

Mr. De Sousa said this was the most important part of the government's childhood obesity （肥胖）plan, which offered money for schools to get children moving and support for families to keep children active outside of school.

52. The experts from Newcastle found that ______.

A. the activity time of most children drops gradually

B. the activity time of girls drops more than boys

C. boys can keep doing exercise until they are 15

D. boys do much more exercise than girls do

53. According to Prof Reilly, ______.

A. activity time drops because children get fat

B. a 45-minute-lesson is too long for children to sit

C. parents need to help their children exercise more

D. children should go to school when they are aged 754. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Schools and families need to change to keep children active.

B. There are more and more British people getting overweight.

C. The government offers money to children to help exercise.

D. Children get fat when there is a change in lifestyle.

55. Which is probably the best title for the passage?

A. How much exercise do children need every day?

B. Exercise level drops long before adolescence

C. Who exercise more in Britain, boys or girls?

D. Something is going wrong in British schools

The Best Things in Life

Best Magazine has done some research about some of the best things in life. You might be surprised about the results!

First of all, jobs. Our research showed that the best job is being a firefighter.

56. ______You are working in a team, you are doing physical work and you are responsible for other people’s safety.

Secondly, hobbies. Working with other people is also important when it comes to hobbies. Our research showed that the best hobby is singing. Sing in a group with other people can be very creative. 57. ______

Thirdly, sports and exercise. 58.______ People of all ages enjoy swimming. It offers exercise for all the muscle groups in the body. It is also suitable for people with injuries.

Then, pets. People of all ages can also benefit from owning a pet. The research showed that dog owners were normally happier, more sociable and less likely to visit the doctor.

Finally, would you like to keep being healthy? 59.______ They are very tasty and contains lots of Vitamin C. They are also helpful with fighting with diseases.

So if you are a firefighter, who likes to sing, goes swimming, owns a dog and eats plenty of blackberries, you will probably be happy. 60.______ Our research also looked at when people said they were the happiest. However the results were unclear. The best age is either 17 –people at this age have finally got to university and freedom, or 74 –people are free of responsibilities and ready to enjoy themselves without worrying about what other people think of them.

八、阅读与表达（共10分，每小题2分）

阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。

A yearbook is a tradition of high school life in the United States. The book contains the name, picture, and signature of each student in your final year. The high schools have a yearbook because it helps you remember who you went to school with. Fifteen-year-old New Jersey schoolgirl Catherine Cook and her brother David Cook, 16, wanted more than this. They thought: “We don’t really know our classmates from just a picture, so why not have a yearbook online? You could learn about people’s musical tastes, the movies they like, and so on.”

This is how they started a website for yearbook. Catherine thought of the name (myYearbook.com) and the logo (标志), with its two smiley faces. To advertise the website in school, Catherine and David wore T-shirts with the website logo on it to school. Soon hundreds of their schoolmates had registered (注册). She spent many evenings talking on the phone to programmers in India, and collecting ideas from her schoolmates. Then her older brother Geoff came up with the money to start up the website.

So, what can users do on the website? MyYearbook users can join in the fun by sending instant messages and “collecting” friends. They can connect with each other by watching the same films, sharing photos and even study guides. Some teenagers feel that they don’t fit in at school, but can make friends more easily online. Chatting online helps some shy people not to feel left out.

On the site, members can also get “Lunch Money”, a virtual currency (虚拟货币), by completing activities on the site, or they can buy it with real money. They can then spend their Lunch Money on virtual gifts, or donate it to charities (慈善机构). Lunch Money donations have saved 0.3km2 of rainforest, cleaned up 1 million kg of co2, sent 22,000 books to Africa, and bought 20,000 kg of rice for people without enough food. Running the website did not stop Catherine and David from completing their schoolwork successfully, and going on to university, where they still managed to put in 50 hours a week developing the site.

61. Why do American high schools have a yearbook?

62. What did the Cooks do to advertise their website in school?

63. Who came up with the money to start up the website?

. How do users connect with each other on the website?

65. What can users do with “Lunch Money”?
