Pastime is a bi-monthly magazine for curious young minds. Many of the topics we write about won’t be covered in the classroom. All the articles are written in a lively style, and each one is paired with drawings by some of the country’s most talented artists.
History focuses on archaeological (考古的) sites around the world where archaeologists work to unearth important finds.
World includes stories about daily life, folk tales, and history and traditions of the people and places.
Sport includes nutrition tips, information about up-and-coming young athletes, and sports events.
Art stimulates a child’s cultural life, from film to theatre through to writing and music.
On top of all that, Pastime is packed with items to stimulate a youngster’s imagination, including pages of puzzles and a step-by-step guide to creating their own impressive-looking drawings.
In every issue, we review the latest books top authors write for youngsters. There are also short works of fiction written especially for Pastime by some of our best writers.
We know that children at this age are dealing with many emotions and sometimes difficult feelings, so we have a personal advice page to reply to questions dealing with personal and moral problems.
Unlike many of today’s throwaway comics, Pastime is written and designed to be kept and treasured. We know children love going online — but we also know how much they enjoy holding a printed magazine in their hands, and the excitement they get when each new issue drops through the letterbox personally addressed to them.
Subscription
Pastime is published six times a year. An annual subscription costs just 20 and makes a great gift for any child aged eight to twelve.

Sonja Redding and her family were on their way home to Omaha, Nebraska, after a weeklong visit to Washington,D.C.,with her two sons, one of whom, 5-year-old Xayvior, has autism(自闭症).
Although all of the other flights had gone fine, Xayvior became angry during one of the flights, and Redding couldn’t calm him.
“It felt like everyone on the plane was looking at us and got angry with my son,” she wrote in a Facebook post after she got home. “I don’t know what to do when others just don’t understand that he is not just a kid with no discipline(自制力)，but a child with special needs who doesn’t know how to control himself..”
The day was saved by Delta flight attendant(空乘人员) Amanda Amburgy. She tried to help Xayvior watch a movie, but when that failed, she offered to take him on a tour of the airplane. That worked, and soon the child was not only calm, but having a good time.
“When they came back, Xayvior was much calmer and happier,” wrote Redding in the post, which now has 2,700 likes and over 500 shares. “I want to thank this Delta attendant. She didn’t judge(评价), and she just showed love. We need more people like this in the world.”
It wasn’t long before Amburgy was told about the post.“ We’re there to help, and that’s what we want to do,” she said in an interview.“So, we always want to make anything easier for the family as well as other passengers.”
She also shared what she felt when she read Redding’s story.“When I read it,it touched my heart.It’s something I would do for anyone on the plane, because that’s what I’m here for.It really made a difference in her life.”
24．How did Redding feel on the plane
A．Tired B．Very angry C．Deeply afraid . D．Uncomfortable
25．What did Amburgy do to help the family
A．She tried her best to calm the boy B．She helped look after the other boy.
C．She asked the family to stay beside her D．She asked the other passengers for help.
26．Why did Redding post the story
A．To show her thanks B．To help kids with autism
C．To get in touch with Amburgy D．To share her travel experience.

C
Today we talk about proverbs. A proverb is a short, well-known saying that expresses a common truth or belief. Proverbs are found in most cultures and are often very old.
In American history, Benjamin Franklin was famous for his proverbs. He lived in the 1700s and was a leader of the American Revolution against English rule. He was a also a scientist, inventor and writer.
Franklin published a book called Poor Richard’s Almanac. He included many proverbs he had heard or created. Some of them are still used today,like:“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy,wealthy and wise”.
Here are other examples of proverbs that Americans use. The first ones are about love. Some people say,”All is fair in love and war.” They mean that anything you do in a relationship or in battle is acceptable.
Another proverb about love is, ”Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” This means you love someone even more when he or she is far away. But other people say, ”Out of sight, out of mind.” You may not even think about that person when he or she is not with you. Which of these proverbs do you think is most true
Another proverb says” Love is blind.” In other words, when you are in love with someone, you may refuse to see anything bad about that person.
Some people are only interested in having a relationship with someone who is very good-looking. You might tell them that “Beauty is only skin deep.” Your girlfriend may be lovely to look at, but she may also have some bad qualities. Or your boyfriend is a wonderful person, but not good-looking. So what a person looks like is not really important.
Sadly, we have no more time for this program. So we must say,” All good things must come to an end.” Thanks for listening.
28. Which of the following is a proverb
A. I love you more than I can say B. Mind your own business
C. When in Beijing, please call me D. Rome wasn’t built in one day.
29. Which is NOT true about Franklin
A. He was good at creating and collecting proverbs.
B. He was a fighter who was strongly against English rule.
C. He was a person who lived more than 500 years ago.
D. There were many proverbs in his book Poor’ Richard’s Almanac.
30. Most proverbs mentioned in this passage are about_______.
A. Love and relationship B. wealth and health
C. beauty and truth D. work and studies
31. What is this passage most likely to be used for
A. An English radio program B. A history book
C. An English speech contest D. An English textbook.
D
Some teens are disagreeing about compulsory BMI (body mass index) （身体质量指数） checks in PE classes. Do BMI checks at school do more harm than good Two teens take sides.
Maya Meade, a high school freshman in Ohio, says yes. “I understand that schools want to weigh students because they are concerned about their physical health. That’s not a bad thing! But what about their mental health For many students, appearance and self-image are huge sources of stress. Forcing teens to be weighed at school will only increase the pressure they feel to fit a certain mold (模子)”, says Maya.
In Maya’s opinion, weight is a personal matter that should stay between a doctor and a patient. She says, “Just imagine someone who struggles with body image being told that his or her BMI is too high as classmates look on! Even if other kids can’t hear, no student wants to feel judged by his or her teacher. That’s not why we go to school.”
Maya thinks if a school wants to have an impact on a student’s physical health, there are better ways to do it, such as providing healthy but filling meals, encouraging physical activity and teaching students about nutrition.
Ben Bagbek, a second-year student in a high school in New York, holds a different opinion. “There is no reason why a school should not be allowed to weigh its students and teach them how to calculate BMI! Obesity (肥胖症) is a huge public health concern in our country. And schools are in a position to help students understand what their weight means to their health -- before they’re at risk of life-threatening conditions.”
“A school’s job is to help students reach their full potential, and your health undoubtedly plays a role in your academic performance. BMI is not a perfect measurement, but it can help you identify the need for healthier eating habits or more physical activity.” says Ben.
The bottom line is: When you feel good, you learn better. As long as the actual number on the scale stays private, it should be viewed as an important part of your health education.
32. What are the two teens debating
A. Whether students are enjoying PE classes.
B. Whether schools are body-shaming students.
C. Whether students should pay attention to weight.
D. Whether schools should help students lose weight.
33. According to Maya, what will BMI checks bring to students
A. Healthy diets. B. Emotional stress.
C. Fierce competition. D. Positive self-awareness.
34. What does Maya think of weight
A. It’s private. B. It’s important.
C. It’s hard to lose. D. It’s not a big deal.
35. Which of the following may Ben agree with
A. Most school students are overweight. B. BMI checks are of little help to students.
C. Schools have the right to weigh students. D. It’s not schools’ duty to help students keep fit.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Travel does have some dangers, but there is a kindness that coats every corner of the world.
In almost every city, we have found kind-hearted people that have either opened their hearts or their homes. My friend Agelika is one of those people.
When I was a teenager, I got lost in a foreign country. I was in Berlin, Germany, on my month-long overseas study tour in Europe. My team and I had one night to spend there. However, while most of my teammates decided to stay indoors and relax, I did not want to pass up（错过）the chance to explore Berlin.
I visited many major attractions around the city that night. When exhaustion(疲惫) began to set in, I checked the time on my watch. I was surprised to see that it was two o’clock in the morning!
Quickly, I walked to a subway station. As I got a subway ticket back to the hotel, I realized that it was my father’s birthday. This would be the first birthday I could not celebrate with him because he had passed away（去世） a few months earlier. Before I could begin reminiscing about( 追忆)my father, I heard train wheels screeching ( 发出刺耳声)to a stop.
I rushed onto the train. At first, I was thankful to have made it onto the train. But that relief quickly turned to panic（惊慌）when I noticed that the train was headed in the wrong direction!
I looked around the nearly empty carriage and saw a girl about my age sitting quietly by the window and then I approached（靠进）her.
“Hi. Do you speak English I’m lost. Can you help me ” I asked, showing my ticket to her.
It was good luck that the girl understood my problem. She tried to tell me how to return to where I had first gotten on the train. But my anxious mind couldn’t follow her instructions.
Without thinking, I blurted out ( 脱口说出), “Can you come with me ”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Her face froze at my ridiculous（荒唐的）request. ____________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
We shared our life stories, our heartaches（伤心事）and our hopes for the future. ___

第一节：
Dear Micheal,
How are you getting along Recently I have quarreled with my parents, which makes me
very upset. I am writing to ask you for help.
As you know, my parents don’t allow me to go out and play with my friends at weekends.
From their point of view, I should take advantage of every minute to work on my lessons.
However, I think I need to play with friends so that I can relax myself after a week’s hard week
at school and it is a good way for me to keep in touch with my friends. I know it is wrong to
quarrel with them, but I don’t know what to do to persuade them to change their mind and
develop a good relationship with them. Would you please offer me some advice
I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
Her face froze at my ridiculous（荒唐的）request. After a long hesitation, the girl agreed to help me. On the journey back to my original subway station, she told me her name was Agelika. I introduced myself and told her about my overseas study tour. Eventually, I mentioned my father’s passing. With a look of surprise, she said she had lost her father a year before.
We shared our life stories, our heartaches and our hopes for the future. Amazingly, we found that we had a lot in common. We exchanged contact information and agreed to stay in touch. At my stop, Agelika thanked me for sharing so much with her. She also told me how I had encouraged her. I couldn’t believe this stranger with such a big heart was thanking me! I gave her a hug and thanked her for her kindness. Although we have not seen each other since then, we have become good friends through e-mails.
