(2014·大连模拟)
Recently a group of s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )econd-graders visited our school library to work on a“holidays around the world”project. The children created pictures showing holiday customs and then created voice recordings explaining what they drew. 1 Now imagine taking things one step further and creating Podcasts(播客)in a classroom setting.
The term Podcast refer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s to an audio recording, linked to the Web, that can be downloaded to a personal MP3 player. The word is created from broadcast and from iPod—the wildly popular MP3 player from Apple.
Using audio(音响)with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) students isn’t new, of course. Teachers have used audiobooks at listening centers and recorded student voice on tape or CD for many years. 2 Podcasts, however, can reach a much wider audience in a time frame outside the school days. Booktalking, an old way of getting kids excited about books, gets a tech assistance with Podcasting. Students can do some booktalking themselves; book review Podcasts seem to be another natural way for students to share what they know, providing an alternative to the book report.
3 Teachers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )made audio Podcasts, including visuals or video clips(视频片段)for any content area instruction and review. Some teachers have begun to record themselves teaching important concepts; this creates an account of information online for kids to access when they’re stuck on a homework assignment. 4 Imagine being a classroom teacher in September who can actually hear how his or her students were reading in June the school year before.
You don’t need an i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Pod to make a Podcast. 5 While an MP3 player is a popular and useful gadget, your audience doesn’t need MP3 players to listen, either. Your students and their families can use the computer to play back what you’ve recorded.
A. Audio and video files can also function as assessment tools.
B. It is clear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly showed in the incident that student-created voice recordings are effective.
C. Podcasting is of vital importance to the classroom setting.
D. Podcasting is used for various excellent reasons.
E. You can m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ake a Podcast if you have a computer, a microphone, and some free software.
F. Podcasting needs a variety of devices.
G. Voice and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) music have been seen as the original media for teaching.

Host family accommodat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ion means that hosts treat the students as a full member of the household, eating together with the students and sharing the common living areas with him/her. No more than three adult students or four junior students will be accommodated in host family accommodation at one time.
Host family accommo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dation remains popular among international students. It is the most economical and beneficial accommodation for any student. It is also the best way to practice English and learn new cultures. As a result, it is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study, cultural communication and cost of living. Staying alongside host family enables students to get enough practice during the short time of their study so that their language acquisition is likely to become faster. Living in host families, students are able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”, who are often very hospitable and friendly, and get to know the lacal way of life, people and culture. Most host families are always ready to help students out in any situation. Often the bonds that are made between international students and their host families endure many years, and are maintained through letters and e-mails. Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students as it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost.
The advantages, howeve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r, have not prevented host families,from worrying. On the one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling points. One problem is that the majority of hosts in big cities, now generally single and young, have less time available for international students, but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice. On the other hand, students’ expectations have risen. They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly from high socio-economic groups in their own countries.
To get out of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service. They are trying to make living conditions better, including broadband Internet service, private bathroom, and access to plenty of hot water for long showers. Ther are also providing students with structured family activities.
It is believe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with international students.

Make the right choices
What is life's gr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eatest gift __36__ Choice is the ability to select one course of action from a set of alternatives to achieve a goal.What is so great about choice It transforms us from dumb animals into artists.Each of us becomes another Michelangelo.Choice becomes nothing other than the tool we use to sculpt(雕刻) our life.The tool doesn't come free，however，for the price of choice is responsibility.__37__ The reward is happiness.
Life is not still.It ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is a flow. __38__ We constantly need to monitor where we are on our journey.We need to ask questions：Am I moving closer to my goals If not，what corrective measures can I take What action will I take now to readjust myself to my goals Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life.
__39__ And your ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our life are far more important than deciding where to shop. The more we appreciate the difference between minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we will experience happiness and fulfillment.

The Secret of Success
The secret of success ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is that there is no secret. Some people succeed because they are just __41__ than other people. Some people succeed because they just work harder than other people. And some people succeed because they are just plain lucky.
Ma Donghan is a st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )udent at Tsinghua University who is __42__ to be successful and she’s not going to leave it to luck. Ma is obviously smart because she’s a student at the best university in China, but her plan for success is __43__ on the old fashion value of hard work. You can see that by the weekly schedule she’s set up for herself which was recently posted online.
Every hour of every ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )day is accounted for. There is her classroom __44__, of course, but then blocks of time are set aside for __45__ each subject and also for a few activities like playing sports. There are no hours set aside for just relaxing and there are only five hours allotted (分配) each night for sleeping. She has set a very __46__, almost punishing schedule for herself, but it seems to be working.
Other students __47 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )__ at Ma’s diligence and discipline but doubt that they could achieve the same level of success. Perhaps not, but Ma is obviously a unique and special __48__. She has set high goals, made a plan to achieve those goals, and worked hard to keep to her plan. This is what other students can learn from Ma.
In school, as ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in life, __49__ is never guaranteed and not everyone will find him or herself at the top of the pyramid. The important thing to remember is that having a plan and working hard to stay with the plan will bring you a level of success that just being smart and lucky cannot.

Having a happ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ier life is something we all always struggle for. One of the key foundations of that is to be consistent in doing things that bring happiness. 36 Consider these 4 habits:
1. Laugh in the middle of a busy day.
It’s 3 pm on a Su ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nday afternoon and you’re desperate to leave, for school. On top of the homework, you’re running close to super important deadline. 37 Just take a moment to laugh. You should laugh more often, especially on a busy day.

Measure your own succ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )esses based on your progress and only yours. 38. No one is better than any one else.
3. Find time to work out regularly and eat well.
Exercise can pro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )duce tons of feel-good hormones（荷尔蒙）. 39 Feeding your body with whole and nutritious foods, on the other hand, can positively affect your body in both short and long term. Find time to schedule in a workout even if it’s only thirty minutes and do something you love. Eat well because foods can help you stay focused and more energized, and happier as a whole.
4. End each day with gratitude.
40 It might be some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thing as small as a child’s laugh or something as huge as a praise from the headmaster. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.
A. All of our lives are unique.
B. Surround you with people who matter.
C. Don’t blame everything not going your way.
D. Try to think you are better than anyone else.
E. Develop right habits to ensure we live a happy life.

A finding in recent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )years shows that men cannot manufacture blood as efficiently as women can. This makes surgery riskier for men. Men also need more oxygen because they do not breathe as often as women. But men breathe more deeply and this exposes them to another risk.

Men’s bones are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )larger than women’s and they are arranged somewhat differently. The female walk that causes so many whistles is a matter of bone structure.

A woman’s wider pelvis, designed for childbearing, forces her to put more movement into each step she takes with the result that she displays a bit of jiggle and sway(摇摆) as she walks.
If you think ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a man is brave because he can climb a ladder to clean the roof, don’t forget it is easier for him than for a woman. The angle at which a woman’s thigh(大腿) is joined to her knees makes climbing difficult for her, whether it is a ladder or stairs or a mountain that she is climbing.
A man’s skin is thicke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r than a woman’s and not nearly as soft. This prevents the sun’s radiation from getting through, which is why men wrinkle less than women do. Women have a thin layer of fat just under the skin and there is a plus to this greater fat reserve. It acts as an invisible fur coat to keep a woman warmer in the winter. Women also stay cooler in summer because the fat layer helps protect them against heat. Men’s fat is distributed differently. And they do not have that layer of it underneath their skin. In fact, they have considerably less fat than women and more muscle. 41 percent of a man’s body is muscle compared to thirty-five percent for women, which means that men have more muscle power. The higher proportion of muscle to fat makes it easier for men to lose weight. Muscle burns up five more calories a pound than fat does just to maintain itself. So when a man wants to lose weight, the pounds roll off much faster.

Directions: Read the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
The first explorers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) who saw totem poles called them “monstrous figures.” Missionaries(传教士) thought that the Native Americans worshipped the totem poles, and they encouraged their destruction. But the missionaries were wrong. Even today, when people refer to the “low man on the totem pole, ” they do not realize that the largest figure was usually on the bottom and was the most important.
The origin of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the first totem pole is uncertain. It is known that totem poles told stories about rich and important Native American families. An artist carved the pole to represent a family’s traits and personal strengths and even to have hidden meanings.
Poles were carve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d from cedar（雪松木）, using handmade tools. The chisel（凿子）used for carving was made from an animal horn. The adze, which was like an ax, had a hard stone blade. Once finished carving, the artist used animal-hair brushes to paint the poles. Some poles stood as high as 60 feet(180m).
Native Americans cele ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )brated important life events—such as births or marriages—with huge feasts called potlatches. One of the highlights of the party was the raising of a new totem pole. As trade expanded along the Northwest Coast, more Native American families had totem poles.
However, in 1884 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the Canadian government outlawed the potlatch. Not long after, the United States followed suit. As children grew up and left the tribe, the art of carving totem poles began to die out.
Many years lat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er, totem poles that had been bought or stolen from Native American villages began showing up in museums. People started to realize the significance of totem poles, and the art of carving them was resurrected. Old poles were restored, and new poles were created. Today, the craft is alive and well again, and totem poles can be seen around the Northwest United States and Canada.
(Note: Answer t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
81. What did missionaries want to do with the totem poles
82. What’s the main purpose of totem poles

A few things to consider before booking a flight
Since you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )can’t drive to all your dream destinations, flying is the only way to go sometimes and, undoubtedly, the fastest. Luckily，there are plenty of ways to find the most affordable fares and also avoid paying as many extra charges as possible when you plan ahead.
Fly during th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e least popular times, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday are the slowest days to fly, which means cheaper deals than the rest of the week.______ 36 , since many people don’t like to get up before the sun to get to the airport.
37 . Some a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )irlines charge you to pick your seat when you book online, adding even more to the bottom line of your ticket cost. If you show up early on your travel day, you can still get suitable seats. Some of the best seats get held back until flight day, unless others are willing to pay extra for them ahead of time, so you still have the chance at one of those.
Don’t wait unti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l the last-minute to book. Many travelers don’t know that there’s a sweet spot for booking and getting the best price on your tickets. Book too early or too late and you could end up paying more than you need to. 38 .
Fly carry-on only ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ). Baggage fees vary wildly，but almost all airlines charge them and charge big. Why pay for your clothes to fly with you If everyone in your travel party checks a bag, your bill can be astronomical before you ever even get to your destination. 39 . For example, make sure all your clothing suitable, so you can take less and still make more outfit combinations, take only two pairs of shoes, plan to do a bit of laundry on your trip and bring only travel-sized clothing.
40. Unless y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou're flying internationally, it's rare that your flight comes with a free meal. Snacks on the plane are not cheap and almost never healthy. Don’t rely on what’s on the small menu and instead tuck some of your own snacks into your bag.
A. Pack your own snacks
B. Choose your seat later
C. So reduce the amount of stuff you pack
D. Eat a lot better, and cheaper than other passengers
E. You can also find reduced rates on early morning flights
F. The best ti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me to book is between three months and six weeks from when you want to travel
G. Save big if yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )u’re willing to travel on major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas

Urbanization(都市化)
Until relatively ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5, 500 years ago. 1 . In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural(乡村的)villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history—a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.
Britain was on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly the beginning. 2 . The process of urbanization—the migration(迁移)of people from the countryside to the city—was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.
In 1990, fewer than 40 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 3 .
Large cities were imp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. 4 . Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英)and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.
Over the past two cent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 5 . Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.
A. That kept cities very small.
B. The rest live in small towns.
C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.
D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies.
E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.
F. Modernizatio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.

Do you know ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) what a big dream is 1 Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.
The Self
Immediately ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego(自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. 2 Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dreams come true.
3
Family and friends ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.
The World
If one gets past the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) first two barriers, one has to face the world. 4 In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.
The way to realiz ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. 5
A. Family and Friends
B. How Big Dreams Die
C. Does a big dream show one’s future
D. They simply fail until they succeed.
E. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong.
F. It is the last and the most terrible barrier.
G. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.

Forgiveness
To forgive is a vi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.
1 Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. 2 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don’t wait f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. 3 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the cont ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rol away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
4 If you unders ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.

This is not to s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay that no one ever traveled just for fun. Even in ancient times, some pleasure travel occurred. During a typical season, 700, 000 tourists would crowd into the ancient city of Rome, where animals performed and magicians entertained them. 2
3 Internati ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onal tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 546 million in 1994 and are forecast to rise to 937 million in 2010, according to the World Trade Organization.

The most important thing in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. She is always on the look-out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail(挂衣杆)to another before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a painful process for husbands, but obviously an enjoyable one for wives. 5
