      LOVE TO TRAVEL                                    updated a week ago

Almost everyone who loves traveling has a Xiamen dream. It looks as if no travel list is complete without visiting Xiamen, eating satay noodles, spending time in one of the city's various coffee shops, and staying on Gulangyu Island. Xiamen has the prosperity of a metropolis, but also has the quiet and comfortable feature of an ordinary town. The spring-like climate all the year round and the small and fresh temperament make this city so distinctive. Xiamen is a great destination for family travel, parents, or friends. It is also a good place to travel all year round.

About scenic spots

1. Gulangyu: If you want to tour Xiamen, board Gulangyu. Gulangyu is a beautiful island called the “garden on the sea”, where you can see a block of delicate and unique small houses in the shade of trees, and have the most beautiful mood even at each corner of the street.

2. China's most beautiful university---Xiamen University, small artistic fishing village- Zengcuoan, coastal first line of landscape-a road round the island, all the way to the sea-Zhongshan Road, a popular scenic spot of Jimei Village, the home of the soul-South Putuo, these are the scenic spots on Xiamen Island. There are many web celebrity scenic spots worthy to be visited when touring Xiamen.

3. The poetic landscape town around Xiamen has a history of more than 100 years. It got its name from the TV series “Cloud Water Balļad”(Yunshuiyao).

4. Fujian Tulou: The shooting place of the movie Big Fish & Begonia. If you are lucky enough to come to Fujian, you must go and see this building!

About the mode of travel

1. Low Price Package Tours: Local tour groups are really cheap. However, the trip is too tight and tiring, and most of the core scenic spots are not arranged, including a few shopping shops. You will feel you are resold to other travel agencies, and the quality can't be guaranteed. Chances are that you will be cheated. (The last choice is to join in the local tourist group)

2. Free travel: If you play by yourself, you need to plan the hotel, tickets, bus and itinerary in advance. It will take much time, energy and expense is high, and it is easy to be trapped because you are not local. If it is the peak season travel, it is difficult to book the hotel and tickets! And if you do not understand the local language, you are likely to book the hotel at a very high price or the location of the hotel is so remote that traffic is not convenient, as is often the case. Unless you have a lot of time and energy, and are willing to arrange all the agenda, you will waste a lot of time and money engaging in all kinds of queuing, finding the ways, and other troubles.

3. Free family travel: The most recommended, the most cost-effective and the most satisfying way to travel! You can book the air ticket by yourself, contact the Xiamen tourism planner in advance, and let him plan the whole trip. You don't have to worry about it yourself, and it's much cheaper than expected. Accommodation and traffic are not only well arranged, quality is guaranteed, but also you will get the most satisfactory service with the least money.

Points for attention on Xiamen trip

1.You'd better bring sunscreen cream, sunglasses and so on just in case. If you won't get sunburnt or suntan, sunscreen must be done.

2. Ship tickets to Gulangyu and the hotel must be booked in advance, or you can turn to Xiamen tourism planner to book them in advance.

3.Do not trust the roadside solicitor! It is easy for you to be trapped with no local guides. If there is anything you do not understand, consult Xiamen local tourism planners.

21. What makes Xiamen different from other tourist cities according to the passage?

A. Its unique scenic spots and landscape.

B. Its famous university and Buddist culture.

C. Its warm weather and artistic temperament.

D. Its convenient traffic and low cost.

22.Which of the following is true according the passage?

A. Free travel is the best choice to tour Xiamen because you have the most freedom.

B. Yunshuiyao is a town which is named after the TV series.

C. The people of Xiamen are very cunning because you will go into a pit if careless.

D. There is bright sunshine in Xiamen all year round because it has a spring-like weather.

23. Where can the passage be from?

A. A travel magazine.    B. Ads from a newspaper.

C. A travel brochure.    D. Blogs on the web.

B

Declining in the past several decades, the multigenerational household seems to find its way back in recent years. Different generations of the same family live together in one household for a whole range of reasons. The most popular belief is that multigenerational households today come about because young adults won't fly the nest. While there is some truth in this, “adult children yet to leave home" was only the third-most-common driver.

Grandparents are now moving across town to be closer or to live with their grandchildren so they can provide childcare during the day. Likewise, some people are inviting their elderly parents to live with them so they could take care of them. "Care arrangement support” was the second-most-common driver for multigenerational living.

Finance pressure in getting higher education, workforce employment and the cost of housing encourage the younger generation to delay leaving the parental home. Changes in government policies on child, aged and disability care can also have impacts on people's decisions. This is actually the last straw which breaks them.

There are admittedly problems with multigenerational living. One of the bigger complaints about it is that not everyone helps. While adult children do help out with chores, they simply do housework for themselves, instead of being responsible for the whole family. Complaints about chores, however, pale in comparison to those about lack of privacy in the family home. This is the result of a combination of family members not respecting personal boundaries but also of many housing designs that are not suitable for multigenerational needs.

Despite the attention given by the public to this household form, little is known about it, particularly the experiences of those who choose to live in them. Whatever it is, there are pros and cons to multigenerational living, just like living alone.

24. Why do different generations live together according to the most popular opinion?

A. Elderly parents can't get plenty of care.

B. Young adults can take good care of parents.

C. Adult children wouldn't like to leave home.

D. People are tired with so much childcare now.

25. What is the final driver for multigenerational living?

A. The education background.

B, The advantages of a big family.

C. The rising concern about parenting,

D. The government policies related.

26. What's the biggest problem of the multigenerational household?

A. It ruins the people's independence.

B. It is a threat to the modern society.

C. It affects the privacy of family members.

D. It encourages young adults to live alone.

27. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Narrowing the generation gap

B. Having to live under one roof

C. Finding a multigenerational family

D. Keeping traditions from dying out

C

Sometimes it is best to take a step back and look at the big picture of life. With all the demands and commitments (义务) that life puts on a person, it is sometimes easy to lose the essence (本质) of “me”, whether it’s a mother trying to balance a job and a family or a student trying to deal with the pressure of schoolwork, sports, clubs and friends. Where is the time for hobbies, interests and self-exploration?

Looking back at freshman year, my life was like the landscape in a city, busy and vibrant. I was just a young soul eager to meet life’s challenges. I proudly reached certain goals that defined the student I wanted to be: made it into the science institute: check, varsity soccer: check... Am I forgetting anything? Sleep, food, friends, downtime… Who needs it?

In this busy canvas (画布), life’s commitments became the artist and I became just a stroke of paint getting stretched too thin. I felt tired, over committed and ineffective.

I knew I would need to regain control to balance the colors within my portrait. Sometimes when we put in so much time and effort but do not see the desired results, it is hard not to see this as a personal failure. That is how I felt by the end of sophomore year. Then I decided to paint the old canvas and begin anew. In my junior year, I left the science institute and chose volunteer work that I really enjoyed. With a less crowded landscape, there was so much more focus and time for “me” to emerge.

Newfound interests and talents became a part of my life that I never had time for before. I was able to keep the original colors on my canvas: school, soccer and everything that made me before. However, I was able to add new ones such as art, photography and become a more outgoing individual. I was passionate about everything I was doing and much more efficient in each aspect I took part in.

28. According to the author, we will lose the essence of “me” _______.

A. if we become alone and irresponsible   B. when we have no interest in anything

C. if we have much pressure in our daily life   D. when we can balance a job and a family

29. In the passage the author compares his life to _______.

A. a busy canvas   B. a stroke of paint  

C. a science institute  D. a self-exploration

30. When did the author regain the essence of “me”?

A. When he landed a job successfully.

B. After he took up art and photography.

C. After he did some enjoyable volunteer work.

D. As soon as he made it into the science institute.

31. What happened to the author in the end?

A. He became busier than ever before.

B. He became enthusiastic and more efficient.

C. He couldn’t find time for his newfound interests.

D. He became passionate about everything around him.

D

The long-expected regulations governing off-campus tutoring programs were recently made public. The severity of the regulations exceeds the worse expectations of those engaged in the once thriving training sector. Then related businesses listed in domestic and overseas markets experienced sharp declines. These training agencies have experienced explosive growths in recent years by cashing in on increasing anxiety among Chinese parents over the education of their children.

For parents, the common means of gaining competitive edge for their children is to get them into better schools, by paying more for extracurricular training. It came as no surprise that when Indian movie Hindi Medium was shown a few years ago, it became a huge box office success, likely because the parental anxiety described in the film resonates with many Chinese viewers struggling with their children’s education. Like their Indian counterparts, parents here would do anything to get their children into the right school.

While most children like me would undoubtedly welcome the government regulation of the training sector, parental responses are more mixed. Asked to comment on this, a mother whose son is taking four training courses was less than enthusiastic. The training is going on as scheduled, and she insisted that she would terminate the training only on condition that all other parents have done the same, and that there was still significant difference between professional instruction and learning on one’s own. Her attitude is not atypical, and probably well justified by past experience.

According to Yang Dongping, professor at Beijing Institute of Technology, Chinese parental anxiety stands out in two aspects. First, the anxiety affects all social levels no matter how their financial circumstances are. Second, for the children the competition gets started steadily earlier, from primary schools a few years ago to kindergartens now.

Thus, a fundamental change to the situation involves a change in attitude on the part of the whole society. It would mean a change to the narrow-minded perception of education as a good school and a profitable job. Hopefully the current policies would go on to address growing superstition in diplomas and “elite” schools.

Only when education goes beyond simple scores and standards and evolves into a lifelong pursuit of sweetness and light could it hope to be truly self-motivating and sustainable. The guidelines might be effective in tackling off-campus tutoring, but addressing the pervasive anxiety will involve coordinated, lasting effort.

32. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Most people related to training business expected the new regulations to be severe.

B. The training businesses gain economic growth because of parents’ increasing anxiety.

C. Off-campus training is the only way of getting students into better schools for parents.

D. Chinese parents attach greater importance to children’s education than Indian parents.

33. The word “resonate” in paragraph three means _______.

A. to make a deep, clear sound           B. to be similar to what somebody thinks

C. to have a special meaning to somebody  D. to differ from what others believe

34. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Most children would undoubtedly welcome the government regulation.

B. In Yang’s view, parents are anxious because children go to school earlier.

C. The whole society’s view of education needs to be renewed and broadened

D. We should believe that a good education means diplomas and elite schools.

35. What’s the best title of this passage?

A. Efforts Beyond Regulations Needed to Improve Education

B. How to Solve Increasing Chinese Parental Anxiety

C. Parents’ Support for New Regulations on the Training Sector

D. New Regulations on Off-campus Tutoring Programs Made Public

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. ___36____.

___37____. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. ____38____, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.

__39__, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.

However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.

As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. ____40___.

1. Race walkers are conditioned athletes
2. Like running, race walking is physically demanding
3. Having a medical checkup

D.  It does, however, have its won problem.

E.  It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity.

F.  It’s less likely to cause knee injuries

G.  It takes some practice

Tommy Kleyn is a artist from Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Last year on his way to work, he will pass by a river bank where there was lots of rubbish. Seeing it, he made his mind to start to pick up the rubbish. Then she spent 30 minutes every day filling one garbage bag with rubbish. Tommy took some pictures and posted them on his Facebook, saying “Take 30 minutes out of your day to fill a trash bag with litter, or you will be amazed at what good you feel afterwards. It will certain make a difference.” Now Kleyn is receiving photos and stories of people begin to clean their waterways from place as far as Taiwan, China. And birds start nesting at the river bank he has cleaned it.
