We never know when we will do something greater.But it usually happens when we least expect it.When John Kinney turned up at Gloria Scott's house in Woburn，Massachusetts，he thought he was there to repair the 72 year old woman's lights.
After completing the job，John went home，but he kept thinking about Gloria and a lot of other repairs much needed—pipe damage，holes in the ceiling，dangerous front steps，the leaking roof and so on.She told him that she lived alone and felt lonely.
John decided to take action.Even though he couldn't rebuild her whole house，he could make it safe and livable for her.He worked on Gloria's home by himself for free before getting some friends and volunteers involved.But there were so many repairs needed，so he looked for more help online，with a simple description of the situation：“Nice old lady needs help.”In just 24 hours，$3，500 was already raised.And he also had loads of volunteers turning up to lend a helping hand.
While this all has been going on，Gloria has enjoyed watching the process and getting to know the volunteers.She's been here by herself for over 10 years，so it's a big change for her.She's so happy and has got all types of new friends.She's out here making lunch for these kind volunteers，laughing and joking.It's just a miracle to witness.Meanwhile，John's whole family have formed a special bond with the 72 year old woman.Even all the repairs done，John continues visiting.“She reminds me of my grandmother，” he said.“It doesn't stop here.Gloria is a part of my life.”

For many years，school children in the US have been taken on “field trips” to cultural institutions such as museums of art.Educators arrange them in the belief that schools exist not only to teach economically useful skills，but also to produce civilized young people who appreciate the art and culture.While there are parents who will take their children to cultural places in their free time，there are plenty of other children who will never have this kind of opportunity unless schools offer it.So you could say that taking school students on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage.
However，the attitude towards field trips in recent years is changing，with the number of tours organized for school groups falling significantly in museums all around the country.The most obvious reason is the issue of finance.Because there are increasing demands on their funds，after all，computers and sports facilities aren't cheap，schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they have.Faced with this dilemma，field trips are an obvious thing to cut since they are seen by many as a luxury.
Additionally，the nature of these field days is also changing.Schools increasingly use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportunity for cultural learning.This shift could have a basis in generational differences between teachers' reasons for organizing days out of school.A recent survey conducted among 500 Arkansas teachers showed that older teachers were significantly more likely to take the primary purpose of a field trip as a learning experience than younger teachers，who view it as fun.
Some evidence shows the trend of fewer trips may have a negative effect on children's development.A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge of and the ability to think critically about art.They also display stronger historical interest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the future.The researchers warn that if schools cut field trips or switch to less educational destinations，valuable opportunities to broaden and enrich children's learning experiences are lost.

Naturally，American schoolchildren love holidays.And they get a lot of them each year.Besides having national holidays such as Thanksgiving and Presidents' Day off from school，students get longer breaks in the spring and during the summer holidays.In fact，kids in the US only go to school for about 180 days a year.To students，holidays are perfect.However，parents think there are advantages and disadvantages.
On the one hand，school holidays allow families to spend time together.Many American parents take time off from work during June，July or August to travel with their children on vacations either in the US or in a foreign country.On the other hand，schoolchildren get much more time off school than parents get vacation time.This means that parents with young children may have to pay more in babysitting or daycare costs.As well，the long summer holidays mean that students sometimes get bored.
Besides going on trips with their parents，American students enjoy taking part in different kinds of activities during the holidays.For example，some kids enjoy summer camps and outdoor adventure holidays.Such trips are great for adventurous students.They also have a lot to offer students who aren't usually interested in traditional PE activities.You can do courses in survival skills，for example.Students learn how to make a camp in the forest，which wild food they can eat and how to find their way back to the center.
Students who are not excited about summer camps and outdoor adventure may take part in courses in computer game design，filmmaking and photography during the holidays.Finally，the traditional school trip to foreign countries is always popular.Students can practice their foreign language skills and experience everyday life in a different culture.

A Hiking Activity
A Hiking Activity
Our school held a hiking activity last Sunday.It was at 6 o'clock that we set off.In the beginning，we walked all the way，chatting and singing.After a while，some students were so tired that they couldn't keep up with their classmates.What moved me most was that they didn't give up，but helped each other to the end.Four hours later，we all made it to our destination.
The activity relieved our mental pressure.More importantly，we had a good chance to strengthen our will，which will leave a happy experience in our youthful memories.

“I hate them! I really hate them！” shouted Tom angrily.
Tara and Mike looked at their friend.They couldn't believe it.He was really furious!
“Andy is OK now，” said Tara，trying to calm Tom down.
The three friends were in the park after school.They were talking about their friend Andy.Andy was the youngest in the class and today two bullies (欺凌者) pushed him against a locker and hurt him.Andy fell and cut his head.Now he has five stitches (缝针) in his forehead.
Their school was a nice，peaceful place until Brian and Mark arrived a few months ago.Brian and Mark were bullies and their favorite trouble spot was the locker room.That morning their victim was Andy，maybe because he was smaller and younger than everyone else in the class.
The teachers knew that there were some bullying incidents at school.But most kids didn't want to report the incidents.So bullying at their school wasn't an“official” problem.
During the incident Andy cut his head.As soon as the bullies saw the blood，they disappeared.Andy called for help and a teacher came and took him straight to the hospital.But Andy didn't tell the teacher about the bullies.When the head teacher asked him，he simply said，“I fell and cut my head.”
“Brian and Mark must pay！” repeated Tom.He was walking around in circles and hitting the palm of his left hand with his right fist.“Can't you see？You are behaving like the bullies，” Tara said sadly.Mike looked at Tom，too，and he knew Tom very well，Tom hated violence.“Bullying is not cool，”said Mike，waving his arms like he was dancing.“We have to tell someone about this，” said Tara.“Andy was hurt.”
But right now，Tom had other things on his mind.He not only hated the bullies but also hated violence.He was in a dilemma—he wanted to fight Brian and Mark but he didn't want to fight with the bullies by violence.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
“What can we do？” Tom and his friends decided to find a way out.

“What can we do？”Tom and his friends decided to find a way out.It seemed that they had to solve the problem in a sensible and civilized way.“Listen guys，” said Tom.“I've got a plan.” “What is it？” asked both Tara and Mike with interest.“We can send messages to our friends and ask them to resend the text to someone else.In this way，we can create a network.” said Tom.The three friends talked about this idea for the whole afternoon and their idea gradually turned into a solid plan.
The three friends started to put their anti bully plan into practice.Tom wrote a new message on his Facebook，which is a great way of communicating with different people.All the people were impressed with their plan and wanted to stop the bullies for good.One day when Brian and Mark made their way out of school，two police officers went over to them and took them into the police car.Tom and his friends learned something important—you are never too young to make a difference.

We never know when we will do something greater.But it usually happens when we least expect it.When John Kinney turned up at Gloria Scott's house in Woburn，Massachusetts，he thought he was there to repair the 72 year old woman's lights.
After completing the job，John went home，but he kept thinking about Gloria and a lot of other repairs much needed—pipe damage，holes in the ceiling，dangerous front steps，the leaking roof and so on.She told him that she lived alone and felt lonely.
John decided to take action.Even though he couldn't rebuild her whole house，he could make it safe and livable for her.He worked on Gloria's home by himself for free before getting some friends and volunteers involved.But there were so many repairs needed，so he looked for more help online，with a simple description of the situation：“Nice old lady needs help.”In just 24 hours，$3，500 was already raised.And he also had loads of volunteers turning up to lend a helping hand.
While this all has been going on，Gloria has enjoyed watching the process and getting to know the volunteers.She's been here by herself for over 10 years，so it's a big change for her.She's so happy and has got all types of new friends.She's out here making lunch for these kind volunteers，laughing and joking.It's just a miracle to witness.Meanwhile，John's whole family have formed a special bond with the 72 year old woman.Even all the repairs done，John continues visiting.“She reminds me of my grandmother，” he said.“It doesn't stop here.Gloria is a part of my life.”

For many years，school children in the US have been taken on “field trips” to cultural institutions such as museums of art.Educators arrange them in the belief that schools exist not only to teach economically useful skills，but also to produce civilized young people who appreciate the art and culture.While there are parents who will take their children to cultural places in their free time，there are plenty of other children who will never have this kind of opportunity unless schools offer it.So you could say that taking school students on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage.
However，the attitude towards field trips in recent years is changing，with the number of tours organized for school groups falling significantly in museums all around the country.The most obvious reason is the issue of finance.Because there are increasing demands on their funds，after all，computers and sports facilities aren't cheap，schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they have.Faced with this dilemma，field trips are an obvious thing to cut since they are seen by many as a luxury.
Additionally，the nature of these field days is also changing.Schools increasingly use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportunity for cultural learning.This shift could have a basis in generational differences between teachers' reasons for organizing days out of school.A recent survey conducted among 500 Arkansas teachers showed that older teachers were significantly more likely to take the primary purpose of a field trip as a learning experience than younger teachers，who view it as fun.
Some evidence shows the trend of fewer trips may have a negative effect on children's development.A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge of and the ability to think critically about art.They also display stronger historical interest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the future.The researchers warn that if schools cut field trips or switch to less educational destinations，valuable opportunities to broaden and enrich children's learning experiences are lost.
8．What is the initial purpose of field trips to cultural institutions
A．To teach students useful skills in economics.
B．To make every student exposed to art and culture.
C．To educate students to preserve cultural heritage.
D．To encourage parents to take their children there.
9．Which factor most probably leads to the trend of fewer field trips
A．The drop in school funds.
B．Students' demand for fun.
C．The dilemma of school finance.
D．Teachers' generational differences.
10．What does the underlined phrase “This shift” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．The switch from old generations to young generations.
B．The switch from sporting events to cultural experiences.
C．The change from an opportunity to learn to a treat for entertainment.
D．The change from educational destinations to luxurious attractions.
11．What can be inferred about field trips from the research by Jay Greene
A．Students are rewarded with more cultural awareness.
B．Amusement parks enrich children's learning experiences.
C．Cutting field trips is critical to the future of the museum.
D．Field trips guarantee better future academic performance.

Naturally，American schoolchildren love holidays.And they get a lot of them each year.Besides having national holidays such as Thanksgiving and Presidents' Day off from school，students get longer breaks in the spring and during the summer holidays.In fact，kids in the US only go to school for about 180 days a year.To students，holidays are perfect.However，parents think there are advantages and disadvantages.
On the one hand，school holidays allow families to spend time together.Many American parents take time off from work during June，July or August to travel with their children on vacations either in the US or in a foreign country.On the other hand，schoolchildren get much more time off school than parents get vacation time.This means that parents with young children may have to pay more in babysitting or daycare costs.As well，the long summer holidays mean that students sometimes get bored.
Besides going on trips with their parents，American students enjoy taking part in different kinds of activities during the holidays.For example，some kids enjoy summer camps and outdoor adventure holidays.Such trips are great for adventurous students.They also have a lot to offer students who aren't usually interested in traditional PE activities.You can do courses in survival skills，for example.Students learn how to make a camp in the forest，which wild food they can eat and how to find their way back to the center.
Students who are not excited about summer camps and outdoor adventure may take part in courses in computer game design，filmmaking and photography during the holidays.Finally，the traditional school trip to foreign countries is always popular.Students can practice their foreign language skills and experience everyday life in a different culture.
12．How long are kids in the US at school every year
A．About 180 days. B．About 280 days.
C．About 200 days. D．About 300 days.
13．What does the underlined word “They” refer to in the third paragraph
A．Some kids.
B．Different traditional PE activities.
C．Parents.
D．Summer camps and outdoor adventure.
14．Which of the following is TRUE
A．Both parents and students think school holidays are perfect.
B．Parents can take care of their young children during all the holidays.
C．Students enjoy taking part in different kinds of activities during holidays.
D．Students don't like to have school trips to foreign countries during holidays.
15．What would be the best title for the text

A Hiking Activity
A Hiking Activity
Our school held a hiking activity last Sunday.It was at 6 o'clock that we set off.In the beginning，we walked all the way，chatting and singing.After a while，some students were so tired that they couldn't keep up with their classmates.What moved me most was that they didn't give up，but helped each other to the end.Four hours later，we all made it to our destination.
The activity relieved our mental pressure.More importantly，we had a good chance to strengthen our will，which will leave a happy experience in our youthful memories.

“I hate them! I really hate them！” shouted Tom angrily.
Tara and Mike looked at their friend.They couldn't believe it.He was really furious!
“Andy is OK now，” said Tara，trying to calm Tom down.
The three friends were in the park after school.They were talking about their friend Andy.Andy was the youngest in the class and today two bullies (欺凌者) pushed him against a locker and hurt him.Andy fell and cut his head.Now he has five stitches (缝针) in his forehead.
Their school was a nice，peaceful place until Brian and Mark arrived a few months ago.Brian and Mark were bullies and their favorite trouble spot was the locker room.That morning their victim was Andy，maybe because he was smaller and younger than everyone else in the class.
The teachers knew that there were some bullying incidents at school.But most kids didn't want to report the incidents.So bullying at their school wasn't an“official” problem.
During the incident Andy cut his head.As soon as the bullies saw the blood，they disappeared.Andy called for help and a teacher came and took him straight to the hospital.But Andy didn't tell the teacher about the bullies.When the head teacher asked him，he simply said，“I fell and cut my head.”
“Brian and Mark must pay！” repeated Tom.He was walking around in circles and hitting the palm of his left hand with his right fist.“Can't you see？You are behaving like the bullies，” Tara said sadly.Mike looked at Tom，too，and he knew Tom very well，Tom hated violence.“Bullying is not cool，”said Mike，waving his arms like he was dancing.“We have to tell someone about this，” said Tara.“Andy was hurt.”
But right now，Tom had other things on his mind.He not only hated the bullies but also hated violence.He was in a dilemma—he wanted to fight Brian and Mark but he didn't want to fight with the bullies by violence.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

“What can we do？” Tom and his friends decided to find a way out.
The three friends started to put their anti bully plan into practice.
