Travelling to China is like travelling to another world. Its many famous beautiful places will make you lose yourself in them. However, it is usually not enough for a traveller only to visit these nice places. If you have time to see the local people, talk with them and even have dinner with a local family, it would be a wonderful experience to know more about the local people’s lifestyle at home in China.
New Hope Travel Agency will arrange a family visit to Xi’an, an ancient historic city in China. We especially have chosen typical local families to host this activity in which you can see the true living style of Chinese people. Most of the hosts retired(退休) at home, so they are happy to see visitors from different countries to come to their homes.
Not only can we arrange to visit the local family but we can arrange to taste the true home cooked dishes. Our tour guide will ask you for advice about the food you want to eat. Just enjoy the locally cooked dishes. It’ll be quite a different and exciting experience.
Our agency also provides a good opportunity for you to learn to cook Chinese food. We have a general cooking class in the local family. If you’d like to learn to cook one or two Chinese dishes, please go to our Chinese Food Cooking Class to choose your favorite dishes.
Don’t wait. Welcome to China.

Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own,not because they have no one to travel with,but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college.She believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life.“It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.”Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries,with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging.This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year.He set up a website,The Aussie Nomad,to document his adventures.He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier.“The people you meet,the places you visit,or the things you do,everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30 year old man.
Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”,which“makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”.He said,“The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task.I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said,“Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
25.Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with
A.Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B.It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C.It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D.Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
26.What can we infer about Chris Richardson
A.He started traveling at an early age.
B.He was once shot in the arm.
C.His website inspires others a lot.
D.He used to work as a salesman.
27.What is the best title of the passage
A.Travel Abroad B.Travel Alone
C.Travel Light D.Travel Wide and Far
C
I had a picnic one day with my sister. We both like to ride her motorcycle and that day we rode it to the nearest park. We bought some coffee and cakes, and then we enjoyed our food. Within a few hours, the sky changed and looked ready for a heavy rain. We packed everything and were ready to go. My sister, who was sitting on a bench then, suddenly was very still and couldn’t talk to me. She couldn’t move. Her eyes were rolling and she was about to lose consciousness(知觉). I held her in my arms and asked if she wanted to rest. She didn’t answer and only said “Sorry.”
It started to rain and I didn’t know what to do. She was fighting to stay aware but her skin was pale and her eyes were acting strangely. Suddenly, from nowhere, a woman on a bicycle appeared, wearing a raincoat. “She isn’t looking good. Do you want me to call an ambulance(救护车)?” “Yes, please, yes!” I begged.
She did. Struggling with the rain, she managed to call some policemen, who quickly helped me carry my sister to a safer place. The ambulance arrived and we went to a hospital, where she was treated in time and she came to life the next morning after some rest and medical help.
An interesting fact was that I guessed the woman in the raincoat was a doctor or a nurse. I later learned from one of the police officers who told me: “No. She was an ordinary person who took some courses on emergency situations(紧急情况).”
I am so grateful that she appeared exactly at the right moment. I don’t know why or how. I didn’t even get the chance to say thanks to her.
28.What happened when the author and her sister were ready to go
A.They had a fight.
B.The sister fell ill suddenly.
C.They were caught in the rain.
D.They had difficulty packing things.
29.How did the woman help the author
A.By giving first aid to her sister.
B.By protecting her sister from the rain.
C.By carrying her sister to the hospital.
D.By asking for emergency medical help.
30.What was the author’s main attitude towards the woman
A.Thankful. B.Friendly.
C.Doubtful. D.Admirable.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It has been some time since Jack saw the old man. College, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit(追寻) of the dreams. There, in the rush of his busy__life,__Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife__and__son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.
Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr.__Belser died last night. The funeral(葬礼) is on Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel(新闻短片) as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.
“Jack, did you hear me?”
“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.
“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce(回忆) about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,” Mom told him.
“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.
“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” Mom said.
“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things that he thought were important. Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral,” Jack said.
Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.
The night before he had to return home, Jack and his mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories: every picture, every piece of furniture. Jack stopped suddenly.
“What’s wrong, Jack?” Mom asked.
“The box is gone,” Jack said.
“What box?” Mom asked.
“There was a small gold__box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever told me was ‘the thing I value__most’,” Jack said.
It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.
“Now I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,”Jack said sadly.

Hello, everyone! Shimmers Dance Club will be offering new classes this spring due to popular demand. Angela Stevenson will be back this term, running the street dance class. This class will be on Tuesdays, and instead of the normal hours from 6:30 to 7:30, we’ll be running the class for an hour and a half, so it will continue until 8 o’clock. This means we have to charge higher fees, from 8.50 to 10.50. Next, Janine Davis will still be teaching the Latin dance. Instead of being on Monday, these classes will now be on Wednesday nights from 7:00 to 8:00. The fee will still be 7.50 for the hour. Last but not least, Andrew is taking over the folk dance. This class is for early risers as it starts at 8:30 on Saturday morning and finishes at 10:00. This will cost 11.00. All the other classes remain the same as on the winter timetable. We hope there’s something for all of you at Shimmers!

Paragraph 1:
Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention. It read “Mr.__Belser”. Jack tore the package open. There inside was the gold__box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside. “Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It’s the thing I valued__most in my life.” A small key was taped to the note. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.
Paragraph 2:
Inside he found these words carved: Jack, thanks for your time! Belser. “Oh, My God! This is the thing he valued most...” Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked. “I need some time to spend with my wife__and__son,” he said.
