Family Vacations in Hawaii
Whether your interests are history, native cultures, hiking, water sports, or simply relaxing in the sun, Hawaii has abundant choices to keep you and your family entertained.
Waikiki Beach
This famous two-mile stretch of sand is home to scores of family-friendly beach hotels and all kinds of action-packed excitement. Waikiki Beach is the perfect place to go if you’re looking for warm ocean water and golden beaches. Kids will enjoy walking along the beach, stopping for shaved ice or an ice cream and taking a dip in a safe area of the ocean.
Oahu’s North Shore
Some of the tallest ocean waves in the world are found at Oahu, Hawaii’s North Shore coastline during the winter months. These crashing walls of water are born for surfing and offer one of the best free shows on the islands. The North Shore is home to world-class surf contests, attracting the world’s top surfers.
Polynesian Cultural Center
Nothing appeals to the whole family like Hawaiian past coming alive. Besides, the colorful costumes, lively songs, and traditional dances in the Pacific region are presented here. You’ll see customs of Fiji, New Zealand, Marquesas, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, and Hawaii all represented in Polynesian Cultural Center’s re-created island villages, which is decorated with palm trees and tropical gardens.
Waimea Canyon (峡谷) State Park
More than 3,500 feet deep, this landmark on Hawaii’s island of Kauai is the largest canyon in the Pacific.

Being cut from a school team can be a difficult experience for a kid. But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent who has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad (啦啦队), she responded in the most impressive way — she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, agirl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes.
Her sister, Sydnee, recorded this moment on video, and it’s now capturing hearts worldwide. The video, with over 3 million views and 87,000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them. Her performance is nothing short of inspiring. “Girl didn’t make the cheer team, but she didn’t care,” Sydnee wrote, admiring Emmie’s confidence.
“Emmie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m sure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves. Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity.”
The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical (神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes. Though Emmie didn’t make the squad, she wasn’t feeling upset at home, and continued to follow cheer squad’s routines and moves to please herself and spread joy to others, even if from the sidelines.
In the face of rejection, this tough 13-year-old chose to dance rather than sit by and let it define her, inspiring us all to embrace our uniqueness and find joy in every moment.
24.What do we know about Emmie from the first two paragraphs
A.She refused to give up performing. B.She used to be looked down upon.
C.She showed a special talent for cheerleading. D.She felt down for not joining the cheer squad.

A.To show Emmie’s dancing skills. B.To inspire others with Emmie’s spirit.
C.To help Emmie attract people’s attention. D.To express her gratitude to the cheer squad.
26.How did the school react to Emmie’s joining the cheer squad
A.They told her to quit. B.They satisfied her need.
C.They made an excuse. D.They offered her support.
27.What does the author mainly intend to tell us
A.Believe in ourselves. B.Keep our dreams alive.
C.Prepare for the worst. D.Youth gives us light.

I couldn’t sleep at all last night, and my sister believes it was because I ate a bowl of really spicy (辛辣的) food before bedtime. However, I was skeptical about the connection between spicy foods and sleep. Can eating spicy foods before bedtime truly impact one’s sleep quality Some people believe that eating spicy foods before bedtime can disrupt sleep by increasing body temperature and causing heartburn. It may be worth avoiding spicy foods close to bedtime.
To find out the relation, the researchers in Australia conducted an experiment to investigate the effects of spicy foods on sleep. They provided a group of individuals with delicious late-night meals, alternating (交替) between spicy and mild options. The results revealed that consuming spicy foods led to disrupted sleep patterns, causing participants to take longer to fall asleep and sleep for shorter time. This data supported the belief that there is a correlation between eating spicy foods and experiencing sleep disturbances.
While the exact mechanism(机制)by which spicy foods influence sleep remains unclear, researchers have proposed several possibilities. One is that stomach discomfort resulting from spicy food consumption may affect sleep quality. Additionally, the long digestion (消化) of spicy foods could delay the start of sleep. Furthermore, spicy foods contain something that can raise body temperature, which has been linked to poor sleep in previous studies.
Given these findings, it is advisable to avoid consuming spicy foods before bedtime to promote better sleep. Next time, I will follow my sister’s advice and opt for a milder meal in the evening to ensure a restful night’s sleep.
28.What do people usually think of eating spicy foods before bedtime
A.It can make people addictive to it.
B.It can be bad for digestion.
C.It can make sleep difficult.
D.It can lead to an increase in energy levels.
29.How did Australian researchers conduct this study
A.By analyzing data. B.By studying papers.
C.By doing an experiment. D.By doing interviews.
30.What can we know from the study
A.Spicy foods take long to digest.
B.Body temperature has no effect on sleep.
C.Bad eating habit changes sleep patterns.
D.Sleep problems may be caused by bad habits.
31.What is the purpose of this text
A.To forbid children from having spicy foods.
B.To suggest not eating spicy foods before bedtime.
C.To promote some healthy food that is not spicy.
D.To keep up with the latest healthy food research.

Located deep in the mountains of Chongyang county of Hubei province, the Qingshan Reservoir(水库)looks like a river with many twists and turns.
For Wang Zhijun, a primary school teacher who has served the villages near the reservoir for 28 years, the river is an obstacle(障碍)to be overcome. He doubles as a ferryman to help students shuttle(往返)back and forth via boat.
A recent video of Wang went viral on social media and moved many.
He became a teacher at the primary school in Panshan village in 1995. With water in three directions, the village occupies a sort of peninsula(半岛), even though it’s high on Qingshan Mountain.
Wang travels 500 meters of mountain roads to carry water to the school for the students. He rows a boat to pick them up for school, and then he takes them home afterward. Wang said he had suffered many falls with the water buckets, but the ferry trips have always been safe.
With development of the local economy, Panshan Primary School merged with(与……结合)the Chichong Primary School on the opposite bank of the reservoir in 2017. Wang could drive to pick up most of the students, but a few depend on his boat.
He said he had been given several opportunities to get out of the area for better career development, but he felt responsible for the kids and stayed.
Panshan and Chichong villages together have more than 1,000 residents. Wang is proud that 40 of his students eventually entered college. “My ultimate dream is to send them out from the mountains through education,” Wang said. Meanwhile, he is proud that six of the 40 college students returned to their hometown and became teachers themselves.
32.What can be learned about Wang according to the news report
A.The ferry trip is sometimes dangerous.
B.Wang works in a primary school near a reservoir.
C.The parents often help him carry water to the school.
D.Wang is sorry that few of his students were admitted to college.

A.Original. B.Unreasonable. C.Final. D.Unusual.
34.How can we best describe Wang Zhijun

C.Cautious and sensitive. D.Devoted and considerate.
35.Which can be the best title for the news report
A.Teacher picks up kids by boat for 28 years

Do you really need a new phone every 2 years
If you’re looking to replace or upgrade your smartphone in the coming year, think it over. 36 Do you simply have the desire to get the new, shiny tech There are some issues to consider besides the new device’s affordability.
Our desire to always have the newest smartphone comes at a high environmental cost. According to Swappie, which repairs and resells iPhones, 1.4 billion new smartphones forecast to be shipped this year will generate 146 million tons of planet-warming emissions. 37
What can you do
Resist the desire to upgrade. If your phone still works, get as much life as you can out of it. “The greenest smart-phone is the one you already own,” Stratton said.
Get it fixed. If your phone breaks, get it repaired directly by the manufacturer or take it to a store to repair your phone brand. 38
Sell it instead of throwing it. You can sell your used smartphone to specialized repairing companies like Swappie to give it a second life. 39 This is because of the materials used to produce them.
40 If your phone is completely broken and cannot be sold, you can still recycle it. You just need to do a little bit of research into how and where to correctly recycle it.
A.Make it functioned.
B.Recycle it properly.
C.Do you really need a new phone
D.Broken phones can still be valuable.
E.Where can you get a new smartphone
F.83% of them come from producing, shipping and first-year usage.
G.A broken or out-of-order phone can often be fixed through easy repairs.

During a vacation one year, my mom and I left our home. We went on a two-week trip to the countryside where my mother had grown up. I was excited because I couldn’t wait to see my grandparents. The last time I had visited them was when I was only three years old. I also wished to go sightseeing, ride elephants, and do many more things there. They must be very wonderful.
With great wishes, we arrived at my grandparents’ house in the countryside. During the first several days, I stayed in their house for fun. But soon, I got bored. I wondered what adventures were in store for me. One morning I said to my mom, “I really want to go outside to play.” My mom replied, “Stephanie, today we’re going to a school. The children there are studying in poor conditions. I decided to use some of my own money to buy some school supplies (日用品) for them.” Hearing that, I was a bit unhappy. “We can go out and play another day. Today we need to spend a little time helping these poor children,” Mom added. I had no choice but to agree.
A few minutes later, my mom drove me to the school. On the way, she said, “We’d first visit the school to know what kind of things these children want most. Then we’ll try to buy them.” I thought to myself: what a vacation I am having! I come here to go sightseeing, not do charity (慈善)work.
When we reached the school, I just couldn’t believe my eyes. There was only one small building, which looked as if it were a hundred years old. There was no playground, no parking lot... It was so small; the school I went to back home was a million times bigger. How unlucky the children here were! We met a teacher in the school, and my mom told him the purpose of our visit. The teacher was very glad and thanked us.
Paragraph1:
Then the teacher guided us into a classroom.

Paragraph 1:
Then the teacher guided us into a classroom. I found there were about twenty children. Their clothes were worn out; their school bags were just plastic ones. Immediately I felt sorry for them. The teacher introduced us and told them why we came here. Hearing that, all the children were excited, and told us the things they had wanted for long, such as picture books, new pencils and so on. My mom made a list of these things.
Paragraph 2
Holding the shopping list, my mom and I headed for a store. There I helped my mom pick up the things on the list. And I decided to buy something for the children using my own pocket money. My mom praised me for it. Then I added some candies to our supplies. These children were so glad and they thanked us when receiving the gifts. Some of them started reading the picture books and sharing the candies right away. That day, I learned doing something meaningful for others could also be a wonderful thing.
