Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel (旅社). The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $25 a night, and for that, you’ll often get to stay in a central location with safety and comfort.

Youth Station Hostel
If you’re looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel, look no further than Youth’ Station. It offers beautiful furniture and comfortable beds. There are plenty of other advantages, too; it doesn’t charge city tax (税); it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms; it also has free Wi-Fi in every room.
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central train station and it’s close to all of the city’s main attractions.

As most people would be, I was very nervous about studying abroad in a foreign country. Luckily, Ireland is English-speaking and any contact with program advisors, housing, or the University was nothing short of excellent.
I chose to study abroad in Cork, Ireland. One of the greatest gifts Cork gave to me was a course I took at University College Cork. It was called Irish Folklore (民间传说) with Shane Lehane who was very nice. This lecture changed my world. I got to learn about the old fairy legends, unique Irish and Cork festivals and celebrations, traditions, and much about butter and potatoes. This class taught me so much about tradition and the importance of it. Although I met some difficulties due to the difference in cultural background, these didn’t stop me from moving forward.
Similar to Shane, the local people of Cork were very nice and they were what made the city so wonderful. Con and his family who ran the fruit and veg store that was by my apartment became my source of local information about Cork, Ireland, and all the people in it. They waved to me when they saw me walking along the road and those were moments that I felt most at home.
I could go on and on about how much I loved Cork and why, but to round it out, the live music was special. The Cork Jazz Festival was the most unique and exciting weekend in town, but every night and every weekend there was a band, singer, or guitar player somewhere in the City Centre. I have always enjoyed music, but it is clear to me that after my time in Cork wherever there is live music, I’m going to be there.
With its nature, sights, traditions, cities, towns, and coastlines, Ireland has so much to offer. I am glad I chose it.
4. What did the author learn from Shane Lehane’s course
A The power of public lectures. B. The value of tradition.
C. Skills for independent living. D. Tips for personal communication.
5. What is the author’s impression of the local people of Cork
A. They take their privacy very seriously. B. They are always busy making a living.
C. They are kind and welcome. D. They have a good head for business.
6. What does the author want to show about live music in Cork
A. Live music is very popular in Cork.
B. Live music events are limited to special days.
C. The Cork Jazz Festival attracts a lot of foreigners.
D. The Cork Jazz Festival focuses on traditional Irish music.
7. Which of the following can best describe the author’s stay in Cork
A. Challenging. B. Nervous. C. Meaningful. D. Peaceful.
C
Tourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates jobs for locals, but it may also bring some problems.
One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited a destination. Tourists have used paint, rocks, or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, memorial stones at the bottom of Qomolangma, and many, many other places. Thousands of tourist site s are being destroyed by tourists who “love them to death”. I have three words for people like this: please stop it. If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by changing someone’s life with kindness and love. Pass kindness along to future generations, not destruction.
Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing the local people and life. Some tourists wander around and take pictures of local people without asking for their permission. For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and other public areas, taking pictures of students, and disturbing their studies. Another example is Sanlitun, a neighbourhood in Beijing, China. Some tourists love to party there late into the night, making it difficult for locals to sleep. I have three words for tourists like this please be considerate. Have fun in a way that does not disturb others.
The number of problems from tourists is endless: walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without thinking of local traffic laws, and many more. The only way to solve the problem of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one! Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible, Remember, whenever you step outside your country’s borders, you are representing your country to the rest of the world.
8. What does the underlined word “destruction” mean in the second paragraph
A. Breaking. B. Creation. C. Construction. D. Writing.
9. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. People travel to different places of the world.
B Tourists love to party there late into the night.
C. Tourists take pictures of local people without asking for their permission.
D. Tourists disturb the local people and life.
10. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To explain the problem. B. To suggest a proper solution to the problem.
C. To introduce the importance of traveling. D. To call on readers to love their countries.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Tourism Can Be Both Good and Bad. B. Pass Kindness Along to Future Generations.
C. Tourists Are Troublemakers. D. Be a Good Tourist.
D
Who would have thought a teenager’s mobile phone could help them manage their mental health by supporting a good night’s sleep A new app aimed at 12-to 16-year-olds is showing strong early results, improving both the hours of sleep and reducing (减轻) depression and anxiety.
Sleep Ninja, a free app created by a mental health research organization — the Black Dog Institute, has shown great early results in improving teenagers’ sleep, so important not just for school readiness but for overall good mental health, co-creator Aliza Werner-Seidler said.
“Teenagers try hard to get the recommended 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night,” Dr. Werner-Seidler, a psychologist (心理学家), said. “As a result, about 40 percent of all young people will experience a sleep problem by early high school which heightens their risk of mental ill-health, such as depression and anxiety.”
Those using the app choose a time to be up in the morning to make it to school or other activities. From there, it works backwards, arranging when they should be in bed. The app gives a sign to start a pre-bed routine (惯例), which starts at least an hour before bed time. Part of that routine is to put the phone and other electronic products away, and make the environment more suitable to sleep. Some of this is simply to have a shower, clean teeth, read a book. But the app also offers a form of practical tips to help them develop sleep routines, things like how to set up their bedroom, what to do during the day to improve their chances of sleep and how to get less negative (负面的) repetitive thoughts that come in at night.
Dr. Werner-Seidler said Sleep Ninja was the only such app designed specifically for teenagers, and the results so far had been very encouraging. She added that we also saw rates of depression drop from 77 percent at the start of the study to 44 percent after using the app.
12. What do we know about Sleep Ninja
A. It aims to improve adults’ mental health. B. It’s a new mobile phone for teenagers.
C. It is invented by 12-to 16-year-olds. D. It’s a free app designed by Black Dog Institute.
13. What does the third paragraph focus on
A. The producing process of Sleep Ninja. B. The heavy burden of schooling.
C. The practical need for Sleep Ninja. D. The cost of making Sleep Ninja.
14. How can Sleep Ninja work on teenagers
A. By getting less negative thoughts. B. By giving a reading list.
C. By putting electronic products away. D. By helping form good sleep routines.
15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Business Report. B. Health Report. C. Culture Report. D. Sport Report.

I got to learn about the old fairy legends, unique Irish and Cork festivals and celebrations, traditions, and much about butter and potatoes. This class taught me so much about tradition and the importance of it. Although I met some difficulties due to the difference in cultural background, these didn’t stop me from moving forward.
Similar to Shane, the local people of Cork were very nice and they were what made the city so wonderful. Con and his family who ran the fruit and veg store that was by my apartment became my source of local information about Cork, Ireland, and all the people in it. They waved to me when they saw me walking along the road and those were moments that I felt most at home.
I could go on and on about how much I loved Cork and why, but to round it out, the live music was special. The Cork Jazz Festival was the most unique and exciting weekend in town, but every night and every weekend there was a band, singer, or guitar player somewhere in the City Centre. I have always enjoyed music, but it is clear to me that after my time in Cork wherever there is live music, I’m going to be there.
With its nature, sights, traditions, cities, towns, and coastlines, Ireland has so much to offer. I am glad I chose it.

Tourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates jobs for locals, but it may also bring some problems.
One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited a destination. Tourists have used paint, rocks, or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, memorial stones at the bottom of Qomolangma, and many, many other places. Thousands of tourist site s are being destroyed by tourists who “love them to death”. I have three words for people like this: please stop it. If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by changing someone’s life with kindness and love. Pass kindness along to future generations, not destruction.
Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing the local people and life. Some tourists wander around and take pictures of local people without asking for their permission. For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and other public areas, taking pictures of students, and disturbing their studies. Another example is Sanlitun, a neighbourhood in Beijing, China. Some tourists love to party there late into the night, making it difficult for locals to sleep. I have three words for tourists like this please be considerate. Have fun in a way that does not disturb others.
The number of problems from tourists is endless: walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without thinking of local traffic laws, and many more. The only way to solve the problem of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one! Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible, Remember, whenever you step outside your country’s borders, you are representing your country to the rest of the world.
8. What does the underlined word “destruction” mean in the second paragraph
A. Breaking. B. Creation. C. Construction. D. Writing.
9. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. People travel to different places of the world.
B. Tourists love to party there late into the night.

C. To introduce the importance of traveling. D. To call on readers to love their countries.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A Tourism Can Be Both Good and Bad. B. Pass Kindness Along to Future Generations.
C. Tourists Are Troublemakers. D. Be a Good Tourist.

Who would have thought a teenager’s mobile phone could help them manage their mental health by supporting a good night’s sleep A new app aimed at 12-to 16-year-olds is showing strong early results, improving both the hours of sleep and reducing (减轻) depression and anxiety.
Sleep Ninja, a free app created by a mental health research organization — the Black Dog Institute, has shown great early results in improving teenagers’ sleep, so important not just for school readiness but for overall good mental health, co-creator Aliza Werner-Seidler said.
“Teenagers try hard to get the recommended 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night,” Dr. Werner-Seidler, a psychologist (心理学家), said. “As a result, about 40 percent of all young people will experience a sleep problem by early high school which heightens their risk of mental ill-health, such as depression and anxiety.”
Those using the app choose a time to be up in the morning to make it to school or other activities. From there, it works backwards, arranging when they should be in bed. The app gives a sign to start a pre-bed routine (惯例), which starts at least an hour before bed time. Part of that routine is to put the phone and other electronic products away, and make the environment more suitable to sleep. Some of this is simply to have a shower, clean teeth, read a book. But the app also offers a form of practical tips to help them develop sleep routines, things like how to set up their bedroom, what to do during the day to improve their chances of sleep and how to get less negative (负面的) repetitive thoughts that come in at night.
Dr. Werner-Seidler said Sleep Ninja was the only such app designed specifically for teenagers, and the results so far had been very encouraging. She added that we also saw rates of depression drop from 77 percent at the start of the study to 44 percent after using the app.
12. What do we know about Sleep Ninja
A. It aims to improve adults’ mental health. B. It’s a new mobile phone for teenagers.
C. It is invented by 12-to 16-year-olds. D. It’s a free app designed by Black Dog Institute.
13. What does the third paragraph focus on
A. The producing process of Sleep Ninja. B. The heavy burden of schooling.
C. The practical need for Sleep Ninja. D. The cost of making Sleep Ninja.
14. How can Sleep Ninja work on teenagers
A. By getting less negative thoughts. B. By giving a reading list.
C. By putting electronic products away. D. By helping form good sleep routines.
15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Business Report. B. Health Report. C. Culture Report. D. Sport Report.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B

David and George were best friends at school. They sat together in the same school classroom, shared sandwiches during lunch breaks, and had countless adventures together,
As George’s birthday approached, David noticed something that concerned him. It was George’s shoes, the soles (鞋底) of which were nearly worn through. They were no longer as comfortable as they should be, and David could tell that George needed a new pair of shoes and he decided to do something special for his friend on his birthday.
David’s thoughtful plan started with a conversation with his mum. He explained how much he cared for his friend George and how he wanted to gift him a pair of shoes for his birthday.
His mum, a kind and wise woman, agreed that it was a wonderful idea. She also wanted to teach David an important lesson about earning and giving. So, they discussed a plan together. “David,” his mum said, “I think it’s a lovely idea to buy shoes for George. But how about this I can give you some money for doing extra housework around the house. You can earn the money you need to buy the shoes. What do you think “David’s eyes lit up, and he smiled widely. “That’s a great idea, Mum! I want to do it. ”
David became a whirlwind (旋风) of activity around the house. He swept the floor, watered the plants, washed the clothes, and even helped his mum with the dishes. His determination to earn enough money for George’s gift shone through his every action.
As days turned into weeks, David saved penny by penny. His mum was impressed by his hard work. She knew that her son’s surprise for George would not only make his friend happy but would also teach David the joy of giving.

【答案】范文
Finally, George’s birthday came and David invited George to his home for a celebration. David led George to the living room. “George,” David said, “I have a surprise for you.” George was a little confused. David took out a present wrapped in shiny paper. He handed it to George, saying, “Happy Birthday, my friend!” George was filled with curiosity as he carefully unwrapped the gift. The surprise and happiness on his face were evident as he saw the new pair of shoes. David explained, “I wanted to get you something special for your birthday, and I saved up money to buy these shoes for you.”
George was so moved by the gift he received. He couldn’t imagine how long it took David to save the money to buy the gift. His eyes were filled with excited tears, and he gave David a big hug, “You’re an angel, David! Thanks!” David was also so happy that George liked the gift. For George, the shoes David had given him weren’t just a pair of shoes; they were a symbol of their friendship. The two friends shared a heart-warming moment, and their friendship grew even stronger. They knew that the joy of giving and the warmth of true friendship were the best gifts of all.
