A
Here are two places that you may want to pay a visit to.
Sark, Channel Islands
This is one of the few places in the world where tradition still stands and the traditional ways are fully respected. The roads here remain not cemented(铺水泥), and are not even paved, and they are completely dark at night as there are no street lights. The residents of Sark are not allowed to drive cars, and if they do, they have to keep them outside Sark. The transportation you can use in Sark includes your legs, bicycles or a horse-drawn carriage. There are no motor vehicles here.
There are many activities you can enjoy here during the day, but when the night comes, the only thing you can do outside is look at the sky, which is really great. Because of the lack of artificial lights, the stars are very clearly visible. Hyderabad, India
This southeastern city of India was the city where one of the wealthiest people in the world lived, Mir Osman Ali Khan. Now this city is the place where many global IT brands hold their head offices. But it hasn’t lost its historic looks, as it remains surrounded by ancient boulders(大圆石), and the modern houses recently built are surrounded by traditional gardens and lakes. From the great hotel Taj Falaknuma Palace you can see the Old City where the old Indian tradition is well preserved.
The best time to travel to Hyderabad depends on whether you are going for the
rdthcity itself, or you wish to go to some of the festivals that take place here. The Hyderabad Literary Festival takes place from the 23 to the 26 of January, while
a festival celebrating various cultures, the Deccan Festival, happens from February 25 to March I.
21. Sark on Channel Islands would most probably attract those who _____.
A. want to go hiking in a mountain B. are interested in exciting nightlife
C. want to enjoy a very quiet holiday
long history
22. If you go to Sark on Channel Islands, you can _____.
D. want to visit a city with a
A. try driving on unpaved roads B. go everywhere on a motorbike
D. enjoy the beautiful starry C. use a horse-drawn carriage for free
sky at night
23. Why hasn’t Hyderabad lost its historic looks ?
A. Because many old buildings remain there.
B. Because an ancient place still remains there.
C. Because many buildings that are like old ones are built there.
D. Because traditional boulders, gardens and lakes remain there.

If you haven’t played games with an 80-year-old couple, you’re missing out. Each week, my best friend and I hang out with senior citizens. Volunteering at a retirement village provides us with a great opportunity to meet new people and enrich the lives of the people we meet. We have learned so much from talking with senior citizens, and we are blessed to have this opportunity to reach out to those in our community. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing the faces of the elderly light up when we walk into the room.
Though my school only requires 10 community service hours, I have continued to volunteer throughout high school. While our 10-hour requirement is a good start, schools should require more volunteer hours. Volunteering offers students an irreplaceable way to help their communities and expand their knowledge of the world.
Some believe that forcing students to volunteer is defeating the purpose of volunteering, because it’s not volunteering if you are required to do it. However, sometimes students need an extra push to reach out to their communities. It’s because some students don’t know the benefits of volunteering. After they start volunteering, they’ll realize that volunteering can benefit them a lot and they will want to volunteer more.
Through volunteering, I’ve learned many valuable life skills. Besides teaching valuable life skills, volunteering may lead to a part-time job opportunity as well. If students prove their reliability(可靠性)and hard work ethic while volunteering, employers may take that into consideration and offer them a job. My best friend got her summer job after volunteering several summers at the Boy Scout camp.
There are various other benefits of volunteering. Besides making a difference in people’s lives, students develop communication skills and acceptance of others. What’s more, reaching out to others who are less fortunate teaches us【Here,are,two,places,that,you,may,want,to,pay,a,visit,to】
to be grateful for what we have.
All in all, volunteering is an extremely rewarding activity which should be required.
24. From Paragraph I we learn the author _____.
A. volunteers to enrich her own life
B. volunteers mainly in order to meet new people
C. enjoys volunteering at the retirement village a lot
D. does various types of volunteering work
25. Which of the following statements would the author most probably agree with ?
A. Every student should help the old in community service.
B. High schools shouldn’t force students to volunteer.
C. 10 community service hours are enough for most students.
D. High schools should require more community service hours.
26. By mentioning her best friend in Paragraph 4, the author shows that volunteering leads to ______.
A. hard work ethic
C. better employers
B. better reliability D. part-time work opportunities 27. What would be the best title for the passage ? A. Why should high school students volunteer ?
B. Why do high school students like volunteering ?
C. How long should high school students volunteer ?
D. What should high school students volunteer to do ?
C
As a child, I always thought about what the college admissions process would look like for me. I dreamed of the day when I’d get my first acceptance letter, and go on to learn as much as I could about many things as possible.
However, as I got older, my fears of going to college augmented. I’m a senior now, and the college admissions process isn’t exactly what I dreamt of when I was 7 years old. There are deadlines to meet, majors to choose, and how am I going to pay for all of this ? My mind plays tricks on me, convincing that my roommate will hate me and that my classes will be horribly boring and that each day will begin at five in the morning. To be honest, while I have many reasons to be excited for the next journey in my educational pursuits, I’m also scared to death. I’ve invested hours upon hours studying for AP tests, SATs and ACTs. My peers and I sacrificed our Friday night football games, school dances and field trips

Do you prefer British English or American English? Here are opinions from our readers. Andy: Well, being in Britain for 3 years now from New Zealand I've come to realize that a lot of'
British people pronounce words how Americans do. But in saying that, I guess the more educated British people do not pronounce words the way some Americans do. So, I prefer Educated British English.

sounds. Although I can tell that everyone else in my class loves British pronunciation and thinks American English is less pretty or even ugly. I don't agree at all, though.

love American English.

pronunciation of the British people, very clear and sounds like music! British accent is more musical.
Edward: When I listen to the BBC announcers, I notice that they're exploding the letters out, not
pronouncing them. And some British people from the North of' England or Scotland
speak with strange accents. I mean it is difficult to understand their English.

accent. I love the American accent.

It was 3:30 in the morning and 8-year-old Walt Disney was doing what he did at that time every morning -- rolling hundreds of newspapers he would soon deliver in his neighborhood.
It was hard work for a little kid who had to go to school, then deliver another round in the evening. But delivering papers beat picking apples for a living. That's what he'd been doing before,
on his family's failing farms in Missouri.
Walt Disney, born in December, 1901, never had time for a childhood. As a result, he spent all of his adult life attempting to invent one for himself. In the process -- almost by accident -- he created wonderful childhood memories for generation after generation of children worldwide.
When the Disneys moved to Chicago, Walt signed up for cartooning classes, working three part-time jobs to pay for them.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 -- American astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man ever to set foot on the moon, has died at the age of 82, his family said on Saturday.
"We are heartbroken to share the news that Neil Armstrong has passed away." the family said in a statement.
Armstrong was said to undergo a heart-bypass surgery earlier this month to relieve blocked coronary arteries.
Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft that landed on the moon on July 20, 1969 and has been best remembered by saying "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
Armstrong and his fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin spent two and a half hours walking on the moon, collecting samples, conducting experiments and taking photographs, while astronaut Michael Collins remained in orbit in the command module.
U.S. President Barack Obama lamented the death of Armstrong, calling him a man "among the greatest of American heroes -- not just of his time, but of all time."
"When Neil stepped foot on the surface of the moon for the first time, he delivered a moment of human achievement that will never be forgotten," the president said in a statement.
Born on Aug. 5, 1930, in Wapakoneta, Ohio, Armstrong served in the U.S. Navy and joined the Korean War before becoming an astronaut. After the war, he served as a test pilot. He left NASA a year after the Apollo 11 mission to become a professor of engineering at the University of Cincinnati.

1. Three friends and I was driving on a highway. While we were going at least 50 miles per hour, we passed over a car. It had broken down, stopped on the side of the road. My friend slows down, and pulled behind the other car. He got out of the car immediate and before I knew it he was helping the other person push the car down the road to a spot where wasn’t so close to the passing cars. From the way they were pushing the car, it looked as if my friend was pushing them all by himself. I thought my friend help a complete stranger like this was a great thing, but I won’t forget his good nature or character.
2. Dear Brad,
I’m very glad to hear from you. In your last letter you ask about the post-80s in China. Actually I am the boy who belongs to this group. Comparing with our parents, life for us is getting much hard. The job market is tough and the house is expensively to afford. Now many girls prefer to marry with a man who owns a house and a car. Therefore, I don’t think love built on house and cars is true love, and I doubt how long it will last.
As a matter of fact, though situations are tough today, a lot of we post-80s are making great efforts live a good life. I believe we will have a nice future.

3. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,
Some of us are having problems about our parents, as they often look into our school bags or read our diaries. I fully understand why we are comfortable about it, but it is no need to feel too sadly. Our parents are checking in our bags or diaries to make sure we’re not getting into troubles. They have probably heard of some horrible stories about other kids and thinking we might do the same. Or perhaps they just want to connect with us and are doing it all wrong. My suggestion is: Tell them we want them to trust us as many as we’d like to trust them. If you don’t think you can talk to them, write them a letter and leave it lie around --- they are bound to read it.
Thank you!
4. We spend two weeks in London last year. We went there in the autumn .We think it is the best season to visit England. The weather is usually good but there aren’t too many tourists in October. We stayed in a small hotel in the West End .It was convenient as we did most of our traveling by foot. We went to look at the places where all tourists see. We saw Buckingham Palace and the National Gallery. We went to shopping in Oxford Street and spent too many money .What we liked most, though, was going to theatre. We don’t have the chance to see so wonderful plays at home .A lot of people say English food is very badly. We didn’t think so. It’s true that most of the restaurants are French or Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meal.

6. People often have troubles getting used to a new culture. They are usually curious when they first arrive a foreign country. Therefore, if they stay for a long time, they may start to feel different stages of culture shock. They can feel alone or sad because he can’t deal with the local people. How quick people get used to culture differences may be depend on the way they learn. That’s a problem if they can’t speak the language. On other hand, some can study the situation and make good guesses about the culture. When they finally began to understand some of the language and make some new friends, they will gradually enjoy themselves and feel satisfying.

7. I’m the only daughter of my parents. So they worried about everything I do. For example, when I ride my bike, my parents won’t let me to ride by myself.

I’m not free to ride and I often say angry, ―Why not let me ride alone?‖Now, most family have one child. Parents want to do everything for his children. This does no good on them.
