As I stuck in the mud (泥), with my bike on top of me, I wondered what had forced me to come here. Madagascar is not a good place for a cycling holiday: one of the world's poorest countries, only 11 percent of roadway is paved (铺). South of the town of Antalaha, where I started, the road was in worse condition.
I appeared from a week in the wilderness and reached the start of the Route National 5 at Maroantsetra, but my dream of a smooth road and speed was suddenly destroyed by mud. The “worst road in the country” changed my bicycle into a burden (负担) for days. Finally, I was claimed by the road. Tired. Alone.
As I wiped (擦) the mud from my face and looked upwards, I was greeted by a Malagasy man. He helped me stand up and smiled playfully while he pointed to my bike, which sat next to his. I started again. But I fell again in the mud. Angrily, I told him to go on, but if he understood he showed no sign of it. His smile forced me back onto the bike. We continued like this for hours. But I fell less. Studying my quick guide, slowly I learned. As we passed through a village, a group of children saw me and shouted loudly. His only words were: “Their parents tell them white people steal and eat them. Funny, no ”
I tried to ask why, but he had already set off. I tried to catch up; as I got closer, he took it as a challenge and sped up. We raced along the road. I rode a little faster and I was just behind, about to catch up with him. With a smile, he sped up and was away, leaving me breathless.
25. What was in the author's mind when he was in the mud
A. He considered his experience a special pleasure.
B. He made up his mind to continue challenging himself.
C. He tried to think out a new road for cycling in Antalaha.
D. He regretted having the cycling holiday in Madagascar.
26. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean
A. The author chose another road.
B. The author decided to ask for help.
C. The author lay on the road for a rest.
D. The author had no confidence to ride on.
27. How did the Malagasy man help the author
A. By showing him the right way.
B. By wiping the mud from his bike.
C. By riding in front of him all the way.
D. By teaching him how to ride in the mud.
28. What's the best title for the text
A. A lonely trip B. A bicycle race
C. A lesson in cycling D. A road in Madagascar

Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years. But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did
It's difficult to look back on one's own childhood without feeling nostalgic (怀旧的). I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them, playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighbourhood children, or racing up and down on our bikes. My parents hardly appear in these memories, except as providers of meals.
These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed greatly. Firstly, families are smaller, and there are far more only children. It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn't time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. As a result, today's boys and girls spend much of their time alone. Another major change is that youngsters today prefer to spend most of their free time at home, inside. More than anything this is because of the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldn't dream of letting their children play outside by themselves.
Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally puter and video games have replaced (取代) the board games and more active pastimes of my childhood. The irony (讽刺) is that so many of these games are called “interactive (互动的)”. The fact that you can play computer games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today.
Do these changes mean that children today have a less pleasant childhood than I had I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation (一代人) feels exactly the same.
29. Why did the author mention his childhood in Paragraph 2
A. To thank his parents. B. To make a comparison.
C. To introduce some games. D. To remember a good time in the past.
30. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The hard time of the UK family.
B. The difficulties in raising children.
C. The most challenging thing for parents.
D. The reason why childhood has changed.
31. What does the author think of computer games
A. They are very exciting.
B. They are not really good.
C. They are too risky for children.
D. They help children connect with each other.
D
Has your mom or dad ever posted a photo of you on social media (社交媒体) that you didn't want anyone outside your family to see In an age when people often share personal information on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, many parents usually post photos of their children. According to a recent study, a parent will post almost 1,000 photos of a child online before the child turns 5.
Parents often post photos on social media because they want to share their child's special moments with friends and family. Some moms and dads do it as a way to connect with other parents. They may have discussions with experienced parents about topics such as how to get kids to sleep, or how to deal with kids' behavioral problems.
Most parents don't ask their children for permission before posting photos of them. They feel it is not necessary to consult (与……商量) with their children first because the benefits outweigh any possible risks. Many of them do not fear their kids' pictures will spread further than intended (打算). Some may even expect unknown people to view and comment (评论) on the pictures, and thus meet more new people on the Internet. “The images I post of my children allow me to know a lot of people I wouldn't necessarily include on my list,” said Lauren Apfel, writer and mother of four. “They have helped me create a group on social media.”
Other parents and child experts believe that kids should be consulted. They say that photos can stay online for many years and that kids should have some control over their online photos. Devorah Heitner, an author who runs workshops about kids, is of the same opinion. “Allow your children to decide whether you can share their pictures on social media,” she said.
32. What do we know about today's parents from Paragraph 1
A. They spend too much time online.
B. They like posting their kids' photos.
C. They often post photos of family members.
D. They try to protect kids' personal information.
33. What is a reason why parents share their children' photos online
A. They share the photos just for fun.
B. They hope to introduce their kids.
C. They are in need of parenting advice.
D. They want to offer support to their kids.
34. What does Apfel think of sharing kids' photos online
A. It is likely to be risky.
B. It is harmful to children.
C. It makes her online friends bored.
D. It helps her to make more friends.
35. What is Heitner's advice for parents who will post their kids' photos
A. Get kids' permission first.
B. Try to do it with their kids.
C. Tell kids the photos are theirs.
D. Let kids know sharing is helpful.

Teenagers earning money
In the United States, you can only get a full-time job if you are 16 years old or older. But there are things that teenagers can do to earn (赚得) some spending money. Here are a few ideas.
Parents with young children sometimes want to go out for dinner or to the movies, but they don't want to leave their children alone. 36 If the children go to bed early, you can do some of your homework!
Some adults have a dog, but they don't have time to take it for a walk. 37 So some teenagers work as dog walkers. It's a good idea — you earn money and you're outside in the fresh air. You get some exercise, too!
Teenagers can deliver (递送) newspapers. You usually ride a bike around a neighborhood and leave a newspaper at each house. 38 You have to get up early, too, because people want to read their newspaper with their breakfast.
39 Some companies pay teens to do online research. They want to know what teens are interested in. It's a fun and easy way to make money. You can also design web pages for friends or adults.
Sometimes adults pay teenagers to mow (修整) their lawns (草坪). It's a great job because you get fresh air and exercise. 40 Then you have regular customers (常客), because grass always grows!
A. Dogs need a lot of exercise!
B. It brings a lot of safety problems.
C. Normally you have to have your own bike.
D. Teenagers can work at home on their computers.
E. It's important to tell an adult where you're going.
F. Do your job carefully and people will want you to do it again.
G. So, they ask a teenager to stay in the house and look after their children while they are out.
