W：Sure.In England, not only the rich but also the poor take holidays every year.During July and August most towns are empty.Factory holidays come mostly in the period between mid July and mid August.State schools usually only have six weeks off, from about mid July to the end of August.
The coast is the most popular place for the English people to spend their holidays.Food in British restaurants is reasonably cheap, but rooms are not.Few English people rent houses for their holidays, but one of the traditional ways of spending a summer holiday is in a boarding house.Some boarding house keepers provide all meals for their guests, but others provide breakfast only.
The British people may refuse to change the times at which they take their holidays, but they have shown themselves to be very ready to try new places.When they get home again, they always talk about how they spent their holidays.

Dear Dani，
My friend makes up stories about things she has done all the time and other people at school believe her.What should I do
Anna
Dani says：
Often people make things up because they're worried that they are not interesting.So let your friend know that she doesn't need stories to make friends or impress (给……留下深刻的印象) others.Point out that when others discover the truth, they won't be impressed at all.
Dear Dani，
I have two best friends and they're always leaving me out! They never invite me to anything.What can I do
Tom

Groups of three can be very difficult because one person often gets left out.Your friends may not realise how you feel.Talk to them about this and agree to plan the next outing together.With a bit of effort, a group of three can be a wonderful friendship!
Dear Dani，
I told my friend a secret, but then I found out she told it to somebody else.What can I do
Daisy
Dani says：
We all make mistakes, so give your friend another chance.But tell her that your secret is important to you and that she must not do this again.If your friend finds it hard to keep a secret, be careful what you tell her in future.
Dear Dani，
I'm friends with a boy, but some girls keep laughing at me about it.Can't girls be friends with boys as well
Mary
Dani says：
Of course girls can be friends with boys.Some girls laugh at this because they don't really know any boys.Carry on enjoying your friendship.If the girls got to know this boy, they might stop teasing you.Why not invite one or two of them along next time you meet him

It was 4：30 a．m.in Mozambique, a country in Africa.When her three younger sisters were still asleep, 13 year old Natalia rose and set off into the darkness.
Natalia moved quickly.Her difficult journey would take hours.She had been making this trip two times a day, seven days a week, since she was 10 years old.
Why
She was not heading to school or to a job.She was going to get the water her family needed to survive.
Natalia is a serious girl who loves learning.But getting water for her family left little time for her education.She was lucky to make it to school one or two days a week.But Natalia dreamed of doing far more, like one day running her own school.
Natalia had plenty of time to think about this dream on her trips to get water.First she walked to the watering holes the villagers had dug into the ground.Then she waited in line for hours.
The water that Natalia brought home was gray and dirty.Natalia's family boiled it before drinking it.But the water still often made them sick.
There was no other choice, though.The muddy watering holes were the only source of water for many miles around.What Natalia's village really needed was a well.But digging a well requires expensive machines and many experts (专家).Natalia's village could not afford these things.
In 2014, an organization called charity: water heard about Natalia's village.The organization has paid for 24，500 water projects around the world—277 of those in Mozambique.
In August 2014, large trucks came to Natalia's village.The workers found the best place for a well and started drilling (钻).Natalia and her neighbours came to watch.The workers covered the hole and put a hand pump (抽水机) on top.
It was a simple pump.But it meant everything.
Life is quite different for Natalia these days.She goes to school.She is a top student who plans to run her own school.She wants to change the lives of other girls through education.

If you've ever had trouble getting your teen up in the morning or you've seen your teen fall asleep during the school day, you're not alone.Many teens have difficulty in waking up early for school, and that's because they sleep late at night.
The American Academy of Pediatrics' Adolescent Sleep Working Group reviewed studies about sleep in teens.Researchers studied the harmful effects of not getting enough sleep—anything less than 8.5 to 9 hours of sleep on school nights—could have on young people.They discovered not getting enough sleep may cause poor grades at school.Not getting enough sleep has also been connected to a higher risk of car accidents in teens.
It may seem as though the way to solve the problem would be for teens to just go to sleep earlier.But researchers say that it isn't likely to work.Teens experience physical changes that make falling asleep earlier difficult.Their biological (生物的) clocks just won't allow them to fall asleep at 8 p．m., even when they're tired.
Studies have shown that just delaying (推迟) school by 30 minutes can have a great effect on a teen's health and performance.So most researchers suggest the school start time be delayed until at least 8：30 a．m.for teenagers.
Some of the benefits could include：
★Teens may be more likely to get the necessary amount of sleep.
★The delayed start time could help teens sleep during their natural sleep.
★Teens may be less likely to depend on coffee to stay awake during the day.
★Enough sleep could help teens study better in class, which could help them do better in exams.
★Sleeping longer could reduce health problems caused by a lack of sleep in the long run.
★Getting home later in the afternoon may reduce the amount of time when some teens are home alone, and could reduce the possibility that teens will take part in unhealthy activities.
But doing that can also cause some problems ...

29．What do researchers of the Adolescent Sleep Working Group find
A．Today's teens have poor grades at school.
B．Teens should get at least 8.5 hours of sleep daily.
C．Today's teens are in danger because of car accidents.

解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句可知，睡眠不足对青少年有害。
30．Why can't teens fall asleep earlier
A．Because their homework is too much.
B．Because they love staying up late at night.

If writing a letter a hundred years ago was like sitting down with someone in a quiet room and talking face to face, writing an email today is like shouting at someone across a noisy crossroads while they're rushing to a meeting.Everyone is too busy.We keep getting information from emails, text messages and the web.It's very possible that your email will be read when the receiver is on a phone or doing other tasks.
This means, when writing an email, you should be clear.
I often receive emails from people who are interested in some sort of knowledge communication but never make it clear how they would like me to take action.Do they want to have a coffee？Do they want to make a phone call？It's unclear.So I won't respond (回复) at all.
It's more possible for you to get a response from someone if it's clear what the next step is.Let's say you're reaching out to a film director you admire for advice.Don't just email him/her with：
I've been a fan of your films for years, and I'd love to ask you some advice.What do you say
Instead, write something like the following：
I'm a longtime admirer of your films and have the greatest respect (尊重) for your filmmaking skills.I would love to ask you a few questions about how you made your first film.Would you be available to have a 15 20 minute phone call next week？My schedule is wide open all day on Thursday and Friday if you are free then.I know you're very busy，so I promise to keep it short.
The second example explains the subject matter and the fact that you just want to make a phone call.This is more acceptable because you've already suggested a date.In other words, you've respected their time, and they now know that dealing with you won't be a headache.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。现代人的生活很忙碌，因此，你的邮件必须要明确地传达你的目的，才更有可能得到回复。
32．What does the first paragraph say
A．Few people write letters nowadays.
B．People seldom talk face to face nowadays.
C．People are too busy to read an email carefully today.
D．People can deal with different tasks at the same time.
解析：选C 段落大意题。分析第一段内容，尤其是最后两句可知，如今每个人都很忙，别人在查看你的邮件的同时可能还做着其他事情。也就是说，如今人们太忙了，以至于很难仔细地阅读一封邮件。
33．Why doesn't the author respond to some emails
A．Because he is too busy with the task at hand.
B．Because he thinks it will waste too much time.
C．Because he doesn't want to communicate with strangers.
D．Because he doesn't know what the sender wants from him.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的．..never make it clear how they would like me to take action和“It's unclear.”可以推知，因为发邮件的人没有把自己想让作者接下来如何做表达清楚，所以作者通常不回复这类邮件。
34．What does the underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refer to
A．The email. B．The phone call.
C．The film. D．The meeting.
解析：选B 代词指代题。画线词前的内容主要是关于电话约谈的时长和具体日期的，再根据I know you're very busy可知，“我”保证电话约谈不需要太长时间。
35．Why does the author think the second email is better
A．Because it includes detailed and clear information.
B．Because it makes the film director feel proud.
C．Because it is a more official email.
D．Because it sounds more polite.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第二封邮件的内容以及文章最后一段内容可知，这封邮件说清楚了发邮件者想电话约谈的主题以及约谈的可能时间，信息更加详细且明确。

I was so excited to take a vacation in Florida for the first time. My sister had invited my daughters and me to go with her family and she even lent me her new, expensive bathing suit (泳衣). It was so comfortable.
The first morning we were there, I put on that bathing suit and we headed to the beach. We played in the water, enjoying the views and sounds of the ocean: the waves, the wind, fish, white sand, seashells, and whatever else drew our attention. I was excited by it all while I was swimming in the cool ocean water.
Suddenly, I felt a deep pain (疼痛) in my right arm.My sister saw my face and rushed to my side.I lifted my arm to find huge blisters (水泡) that circled the entire length of my arm.I had been bitten by a jellyfish (水母).
My sister said，“We have to head back to our room now. I will put some ointment (药膏) on the blisters so that we don't have to rush to the hospital.”
I didn't want to frighten anyone, so I came out of the water quietly with my arm hanging at my side.We had forgotten our towels that morning in a hurry to get to the ocean, so I shook as we walked in silence.
I began to notice people looking at me and pointing me out.It seemed as if the entire beach was laughing at me.
Then I looked down and saw why.That beautiful, expensive bathing suit was completely transparent (透明的) now that it was wet. I became the center of the beach.However, I had no towel for the long travel back to the room!
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
To get back to the room, I had to walk past a swimming pool.
Well, good and bad news came in.
参考范文：
To get back to the room, I had to walk past a swimming pool.Like everyone else, those in and around the swimming pool all looked at me with a very strange expression.All I could do was keep my head down.Finally, I made it to the room, where my sister lovingly took care of my blisters.When she saw I was going to be okay, she couldn't help laughing.She said that she had never worn the suit before and didn't know it would be transparent when wet.
Well, good and bad news came in.The good news was that I didn't have to go to the hospital.The blisters disappeared in the afternoon.I no longer felt any pain.The bad news was that I had to walk past all those people again later that day to get back to the beach.I'm sure those beach lovers would never forget the day.

Dear Dani，
My friend makes up stories about things she has done all the time and other people at school believe her.What should I do

Dear Dani，
I have two best friends and they're always leaving me out! They never invite me to anything.What can I do

Dear Dani，
I'm friends with a boy, but some girls keep laughing at me about it.Can't girls be friends with boys as well
Mary
Dani says：

It was 4：30 a．m.in Mozambique, a country in Africa.When her three younger sisters were still asleep, 13 year old Natalia rose and set off into the darkness.
Natalia moved quickly.Her difficult journey would take hours.She had been making this trip two times a day, seven days a week, since she was 10 years old.
Why
She was not heading to school or to a job.She was going to get the water her family needed to survive.
Natalia is a serious girl who loves learning.But getting water for her family left little time for her education.She was lucky to make it to school one or two days a week.But Natalia dreamed of doing far more, like one day running her own school.
Natalia had plenty of time to think about this dream on her trips to get water.First she walked to the watering holes the villagers had dug into the ground.Then she waited in line for hours.
The water that Natalia brought home was gray and dirty.Natalia's family boiled it before drinking it.But the water still often made them sick.
There was no other choice, though.The muddy watering holes were the only source of water for many miles around.What Natalia's village really needed was a well.But digging a well requires expensive machines and many experts (专家).Natalia's village could not afford these things.
In 2014, an organization called charity: water heard about Natalia's village.The organization has paid for 24，500 water projects around the world—277 of those in Mozambique.
In August 2014, large trucks came to Natalia's village.The workers found the best place for a well and started drilling (钻).Natalia and her neighbours came to watch.The workers covered the hole and put a hand pump (抽水机) on top.
It was a simple pump.But it meant everything.
Life is quite different for Natalia these days.She goes to school.She is a top student who plans to run her own school.She wants to change the lives of other girls through education.
24．Which of the following can best describe 13 year old Natalia's life
A．Hard. B．Simple.
C．Lonely. D．Boring.
25．What was a big problem in Natalia's village
A．Poor education.
B．Large family size.
C．A shortage of water.
D．Separation from the world.
26．What happened to Natalia's village in August 2014
A．A well was dug.
B．Many people were sick.
C．Charity: water projects was started.
D．Girls were allowed to go to school.
27．What does Natalia want to do in the future
A．Be a doctor.
B．Open a school.
C．Make water pumps.
D．Travelling out of her village.

If you've ever had trouble getting your teen up in the morning or you've seen your teen fall asleep during the school day, you're not alone.Many teens have difficulty in waking up early for school, and that's because they sleep late at night.
The American Academy of Pediatrics' Adolescent Sleep Working Group reviewed studies about sleep in teens.Researchers studied the harmful effects of not getting enough sleep—anything less than 8.5 to 9 hours of sleep on school nights—could have on young people.They discovered not getting enough sleep may cause poor grades at school.Not getting enough sleep has also been connected to a higher risk of car accidents in teens.
It may seem as though the way to solve the problem would be for teens to just go to sleep earlier.But researchers say that it isn't likely to work.Teens experience physical changes that make falling asleep earlier difficult.Their biological (生物的) clocks just won't allow them to fall asleep at 8 p．m., even when they're tired.
Studies have shown that just delaying (推迟) school by 30 minutes can have a great effect on a teen's health and performance.So most researchers suggest the school start time be delayed until at least 8：30 a．m.for teenagers.
Some of the benefits could include：
★Teens may be more likely to get the necessary amount of sleep.
★The delayed start time could help teens sleep during their natural sleep.
★Teens may be less likely to depend on coffee to stay awake during the day.
★Enough sleep could help teens study better in class, which could help them do better in exams.
★Sleeping longer could reduce health problems caused by a lack of sleep in the long run.
★Getting home later in the afternoon may reduce the amount of time when some teens are home alone, and could reduce the possibility that teens will take part in unhealthy activities.
But doing that can also cause some problems ...
28．What does Paragraph 1 show
A．Many teens find school boring.
B．Many teens fail to get enough sleep.
C．Today's teens have many difficulties.
D．Today's teens are too lazy to get up early.
29．What do researchers of the Adolescent Sleep Working Group find
A．Today's teens have poor grades at school.
B．Teens should get at least 8.5 hours of sleep daily.
C．Today's teens are in danger because of car accidents.
D．Teens can be negatively influenced by not getting enough sleep.
30．Why can't teens fall asleep earlier
A．Because their homework is too much.
B．Because they love staying up late at night.
C．Because their physical changes make it hard.
D．Because they have unbalanced biological clocks.
31．What would the text most probably talk about next
A．The disadvantages of starting school later.
B．The benefits of getting enough sleep for students.
C．The methods of helping students get enough sleep.
D．The advantages of putting off the school start time.

If writing a letter a hundred years ago was like sitting down with someone in a quiet room and talking face to face, writing an email today is like shouting at someone across a noisy crossroads while they're rushing to a meeting.Everyone is too busy.We keep getting information from emails, text messages and the web.It's very possible that your email will be read when the receiver is on a phone or doing other tasks.
This means, when writing an email, you should be clear.
I often receive emails from people who are interested in some sort of knowledge communication but never make it clear how they would like me to take action.Do they want to have a coffee？Do they want to make a phone call？It's unclear.So I won't respond (回复) at all.
It's more possible for you to get a response from someone if it's clear what the next step is.Let's say you're reaching out to a film director you admire for advice.Don't just email him/her with：
I've been a fan of your films for years, and I'd love to ask you some advice.What do you say
Instead, write something like the following：
I'm a longtime admirer of your films and have the greatest respect (尊重) for your filmmaking skills.I would love to ask you a few questions about how you made your first film.Would you be available to have a 15 20 minute phone call next week？My schedule is wide open all day on Thursday and Friday if you are free then.I know you're very busy，so I promise to keep it short.
The second example explains the subject matter and the fact that you just want to make a phone call.This is more acceptable because you've already suggested a date.In other words, you've respected their time, and they now know that dealing with you won't be a headache.
32．What does the first paragraph say
A．Few people write letters nowadays.
B．People seldom talk face to face nowadays.
C．People are too busy to read an email carefully today.
D．People can deal with different tasks at the same time.
33．Why doesn't the author respond to some emails
A．Because he is too busy with the task at hand.
B．Because he thinks it will waste too much time.
C．Because he doesn't want to communicate with strangers.
D．Because he doesn't know what the sender wants from him.
34．What does the underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refer to
A．The email. B．The phone call.
C．The film. D．The meeting.
35．Why does the author think the second email is better
A．Because it includes detailed and clear information.
B．Because it makes the film director feel proud.
C．Because it is a more official email.
D．Because it sounds more polite.

Teenagers grow up very quickly.Since your last birthday, a lot of things have changed.Perhaps you've grown much taller than everyone else in your class. 36 Then, you look in the mirror and think one thing: Am I normal (正常的)
What's normal？There's no one type of normal. 37 You'll see tall people, short people, and people with little feet, big stomachs, and long fingers ...

40 If you are worried about your weight or height, talk it over with your parents or your doctors.The doctors can tell you if anything is wrong.But in most cases, your one of a kind body is growing just like it's supposed to.
A．Don't care too much about your looks.
B．Your looks are largely decided by your parents.
C．Or maybe you can't fit into your favourite pair of jeans.
D．Next time you go to the supermarket, take a look around.
