I visited Aruba last week. On the first day, I mainly enjoyed comfortable sunshine on the beaches there. But I needed more than sunshine and sand to fill my week.
I rented a car the next day. One of my first stops that day was the Alto Vista Chapel. Just as I entered it, a colourful “party bus” filled with singing tourists pulled into the parking lot, ending the silence. So I left soon.
From the church I made my way to the California Lighthouse, named for the steamship California that sank nearby in 1891. After spending some time there, I went to an Italian restaurant that sits on the top of the hill and offers scenic views.
I love golfing, so I wasn’t going on vacation without spending a day on the courses. The Country Club is for golfing on the islands located at its northwest point. Opened in 1995, it is a beautiful place with views of the sea and the California Lighthouse. I spent a full day there.
To completely escape from the other tourists, I booked a four-hour jeep tour for the fourth day. I went to the Arikok National Park, which covers nearly 20 percent of the islands. I stood on a cliff and looked down on a natural pool that was formed inside volcanic rock (火山岩). It was amazing.
My final night was spent at a restaurant. Friends who had been to Aruba told me I had to go there. I dined (用餐) there while listening to a local musician performing. It was so good and the crowd demanded more.
4. What did the writer mainly do on the first day in Aruba
A. Rented a car to travel around. B. Enjoyed the sunshine on the beach.
C. Visited the Alto Vista Chapel. D. tried local food in a restaurant.
5. Why did the writer leave the Alto Vista Chapel soon
A. The chapel was too crowded to visit. B. He needed to go to the next stop quickly.
C A “party bus” broke the quiet atmosphere. D. He didn’t like the design of the chapel.
6. What can we know about the Country Club
A. It is a new golf course built in recent years. B. It is located in the center of the island.
C. Visitors can enjoy views of the sea there. D. It is the only golf course on the island.
7. What made the writer’s final night special
A. Dining while listening to local music. B. Having a meal with old friends.
C. Trying a famous local dish. D. Visiting a popular restaurant alone.
C
If you are planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double-check departure (出发) time. It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane would leave at 10:50. Surprisingly, the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of e- payment, it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment.
The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travelled in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
8. What happened to the writer because of not checking the departure time carefully
A. He couldn’t find his secretary at the airport. B. He missed his flight and an important meeting.
C. His secretary booked a wrong flight for him. D. The airport closed earlier than usual.
9. Why did the taxi driver refuse the writer’s payment
A. The driver didn’t like pounds at all.
B. The writer didn’t have enough money to pay.
C. The writer used a kind of money the driver didn’t accept.
D. The driver wanted to get e- payment instead of cash.
10. What can we know about the writer’s workmates
A. They went to London for a trip in May. B. They took heavy clothes to a warm place.
C. They forgot to check the weather before the trip. D. They felt cool in Athens during the day.
11. What does the passage mainly want to tell us
A. Three useful rules for a better trip. B. How to book a flight and take a taxi.
C. Terrible experiences of the writer. D. Different weather in different places.
D
Everyone has “down days”. Maybe it’s because of the bad weather, or the poor grade on a difficult test, and some days teenagers just act uninterested in life or school. But these symptoms (症状) often pass quickly, as teens move on to new school subjects, or meet friends, preventing themselves from thinking what troubles them at the moment. But if a teenager displays symptoms of sadness for more than two weeks, it might point to something serious.
As teenagers develop, they push new boundaries (边界), complain (抱怨) about rules and look for more free rights from their parents. According to the online Health Guide on adolescent Development, parents must be lasting figures (人物) in their teenagers’ life, providing safe boundaries (边界) for teens to grow, even if the teenagers act like these boundaries are unwanted.
Parents need to provide rules, while also remaining flexible (灵活的) and respectful of the growing teens’ need for freedom. For example, teenagers will often feel frustrated, embarrassed, and even angry that though they want freedom, they still need to ask their parents for agreement to go to a friend’s house, or need their parents to take them to school.
The US Department of Education says that parents should respect and support their teens’ choices as long as those choices won’t have long-term harmful effects. For example, even if a parent doesn’t prefer the music his or her teen listens to, it’s unlikely that the choice of music will prevent that teen from entering a good college, or lead to health problems. However, if that teen is lying, parents must get through strict punishments to teach him or her that there are bad results of poor choices that come with increased freedom.
12. What may show a teenager’s sadness is serious
A. It is caused by a poor test grade. B. It lasts more than two weeks.
C. It makes them uninterested in school. D. It goes away after meeting friends.
13. The underlined word “lasting” in the second paragraph probably means __________.
A. Temporary (暂时的) B. strict C. hidden (隐藏的) D. stable (稳定的)
14. Why do teenagers often feel frustrated
A. They have to take too many difficult tests at school.
B. Their parents don’t allow them to listen to music.
C. They want freedom but still need parents’ help or agreement.
D. They can’t get into their dream colleges easily.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Causes of Teens’ Sadness. B. How to Be with Growing Teens.
C. The Importance of Making Friends with Teens. D. Teens’ Worries About Strict Rules.

She stood outside the classroom door, not daring to go in.
The classroom was already noisy with students chatting and laughing. Lily peeked (偷看)through the window, seeing everyone talking in small groups. No one noticed her, and she felt like an outsider (局外人). Just as she was about to turn around and hide in the hallway (走廊), a girl with braids (辫子) walked over. She had a big smile and asked gently, “Hi! Are you the new student I’m Mia. Do you want to come in with me ” Lily was so nervous that she just stared at Mia and shook her head, saying softly, “No, thanks. I can do it myself.”
