From the age of seven，Cameron was educated at two independent schools.Due to good academic grades，Cameron entered the top academic class almost two years early.At the age of thirteen，he went to Eton College in Berkshire，following his father and elder brother.His early interest was in art.Six weeks before taking his O Level he was caught smoking cannabis (大麻)．He admitted the offence but had not been involved in selling drugs，so he was not expelled.However，he was fined and prevented from leaving school grounds.
After leaving Eton in 1984，Cameron started a nine?month gap year.He worked as a researcher for Tim Rathbone.In his three months there，he attended debates in the House of Commons.Through his father，he was then employed for a further three months in Hong Kong by Jardine Matheson as a “ship jumper”，which was an administrative post.
Cameron then began his Bachelor of Arts studies in Philosophy，Politics，and Economics at Brasenose College，Oxford.His tutor described him as one of the ablest students he had taught，with moderate and sensible Conservative political views.
Guy Spier，who shared a tutor with him，remembers him as an outstanding student，“We were doing our best to grasp basic economic concepts.However，nobody even came close to Cameron.He would be integrating them with the way the British political system is put together.He could have lectured me for it，and I would have sat there and taken notes.”
While at Oxford，Cameron was a member of the excellent student dining society，the Bullingdon Club，which has a reputation for a strange drinking culture associated with boisterous (狂放不羁的) behavior and damaging property. Cameron graduated in 1988 with a first?class honours degree.

Since the 800's，November 1st is a holiday known as All Saints' Day.The evening before is known as Halloween.During the festival，poor people would beg for food and families would give them “soul cakes” in return for their promise to pray for the family's dead relatives.
Halloween，however，has a special meaning for children today，who dress in funny or ghostly clothes and knock at neighborhood doors shouting “Trick or Treat！” Princesses，ghosts_and_witches all hold bags open to catch the candies or cakes that the neighbors drop in.
Today school dances and neighborhood parties called“block parties”are popular among the young people and old.They dress up as historical or political figures and go to costume parties. Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume is，the better it is.
Certain tricks such as soaping car windows and knocking at the neighbors' windows are expected.But parties and pranks are not the only things that Halloweeners enjoy doing.Some collect money to buy food and medicine for poor children around the world.
Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits.Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors，probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night. In the weeks before October 31，Americans decorate windows of houses and schools with silhouettes (轮廓) of witches and black cats.
Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween.Carving pumpkins into some kinds of lanterns is a Halloween custom also dating back to Ireland.When the Irish brought their customs to the United States，they carved faces on pumpkins instead of turnips (芜菁) because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips.Today the lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are candies (糖果) waiting for them if they knock and say “Trick or Treat！”
5．According to the passage，why did the Irish choose pumpkins instead of turnips?
A．Because pumpkins were much cheaper.
B．Because in the autumn there were more pumpkins.
C．Because pumpkins were suitable to make lanterns.
D．Because the Irish wanted to make some changes.
6．What's the meaning of the underlined word “outrageous” in the third paragraph?
A．Unusual. B．Attractive.
C．Funny. D．Expensive.
7．Children celebrate Halloween in the following ways EXCEPT ________.
A．playing little tricks on their neighbors
B．dressing up and attending costume parties
C．doing destructive things which are usually not allowed
D．doing some good deeds to help those in trouble
8．The underlined words “Princesses，ghosts and witches” in Paragraph 2 refer to ________.
A．people existing in the imagination of children
B．the grown?ups dressing up to please children
C．the children dressing up on this special holiday
D．the actors or actresses invited to celebrate the holiday

How to Avoid an Internet Addiction
While it may seem like everyone surfs the web these days, there is a fine line between casually checking your social media pages and having a full?blown Internet addiction. If you fear that you may lose interest in other aspects of your life because you prefer to be on the Internet, you may be on your way to an Internet addiction. 16
Admit you are at risk of an addiction.
More and more people in the world are becoming addicted to the Internet. You are not the only one with this problem, and it is becoming more and more common and more and more well?known. 17
Set aside limited time for computer use.
Make sure not to turn it on too many times a week. If you have a laptop, make sure to put it somewhere that you can remember but not somewhere that you see every day. Try keeping the lid closed when you are not using it. 18 If you have a desktop PC, try not to go near it or put something over it like a sheet.
Call people instead of sending instant messages or texts.
If you are free on weekends, call friends and ask them to go outside. This will distract you from the computer. 19
Use an alarm clock or timer.
Before using your computer, decide on a time limit such as 30 minutes. Set the clock or timer and make sure that you get off the computer when the time is up. Alternatively create a shutdown timer on your desktop. 20
A．Make a small list of what you want to do within that time.
B．When the computer is not looking at you, you are less likely to use it.
C．This can be programmed to shut down your computer after the set time.
D．Luckily, there are ways to avoid living your life in front of the computer.
E．This will stop you from using the Internet so often or going on to another page.
F．If you have a problem on weekdays, phone your friends or ask for help in person.
G．Do not be embarrassed; find others with the same problem and help each other beat it.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
When I was in seventh grade, I was a candy striper (护士助手) at a local hospital in my town. I volunteered about 30 to 40 hours a week during the summer.
Most of the time I spent there was with Mr. Green. He never had any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, even though he responded with only an occasional hold of my hand. Mr. Green was in a coma (昏迷)．
I left for a week for a vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Green was gone. I didn't have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he had died. So with many questions unanswered, I continued to volunteer there through my eighth?grade year.
Paragraph 1：
Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2：
He began to tell me how, as he lay there comatose, he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time.

Dear_Jack，
Thanks_for_your_e?mail.I'm_glad_to_tell_you_something_about_China's_Spring_Festival.
As you know，the Spring Festival is the most important festival in China，just like Christmas in the west.It falls on the last day of lunar year and lasts until the Lantern Festival.
Before the festival comes，people clean and decorate their houses to welcome the new year.On New Year's Eve，people usually get together to watch annual Spring Festival Gala Evening on TV while eating delicious food.During the festival，people go from house to house to pay a New Year visit to their relatives and friends.
As a teenager，I like the Spring Festival very much because I can get lucky money from my parents and relatives and enjoy myself with my friends as well.
How_do_you_like_the_Spring_Festival?_I'm_looking_forward_to_hearing_from_you.

【故事续写】
Paragraph 1：
Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face. When I realized who it was, my eyes were filled with tears. He was alive! I got up the nerve to ask him if he was Mr. Green, and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied yes. I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking to him in the hospital. His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received.
Paragraph 2：
He began to tell me how, as he lay there comatose, he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an angel, who was there with him. Mr. Green firmly believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him alive. Then he told me about his life. We exchanged a hug, said our good?byes and went our separate ways.

How to Avoid an Internet Addiction
While it may seem like everyone surfs the web these days, there is a fine line between casually checking your social media pages and having a full?blown Internet addiction. If you fear that you may lose interest in other aspects of your life because you prefer to be on the Internet, you may be on your way to an Internet addiction. 16
Admit you are at risk of an addiction.
More and more people in the world are becoming addicted to the Internet. You are not the only one with this problem, and it is becoming more and more common and more and more well?known. 17
Set aside limited time for computer use.
Make sure not to turn it on too many times a week. If you have a laptop, make sure to put it somewhere that you can remember but not somewhere that you see every day. Try keeping the lid closed when you are not using it. 18 If you have a desktop PC, try not to go near it or put something over it like a sheet.
Call people instead of sending instant messages or texts.
If you are free on weekends, call friends and ask them to go outside. This will distract you from the computer. 19
Use an alarm clock or timer.
Before using your computer, decide on a time limit such as 30 minutes. Set the clock or timer and make sure that you get off the computer when the time is up. Alternatively create a shutdown timer on your desktop. 20
A．Make a small list of what you want to do within that time.
B．When the computer is not looking at you, you are less likely to use it.
C．This can be programmed to shut down your computer after the set time.
D．Luckily, there are ways to avoid living your life in front of the computer.
E．This will stop you from using the Internet so often or going on to another page.
F．If you have a problem on weekdays, phone your friends or ask for help in person.
G．Do not be embarrassed; find others with the same problem and help each other beat it.

When I was in seventh grade, I was a candy striper (护士助手) at a local hospital in my town. I volunteered about 30 to 40 hours a week during the summer.
Most of the time I spent there was with Mr. Green. He never had any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, even though he responded with only an occasional hold of my hand. Mr. Green was in a coma (昏迷)．
I left for a week for a vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Green was gone. I didn't have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he had died. So with many questions unanswered, I continued to volunteer there through my eighth?grade year.
Paragraph 1：
Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2：
He began to tell me how, as he lay there comatose, he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time.

Dear_Jack，
Thanks_for_your_e?mail.I'm_glad_to_tell_you_something_about_China's_Spring_Festival.
As you know，the Spring Festival is the most important festival in China，just like Christmas in the west.It falls on the last day of lunar year and lasts until the Lantern Festival.
Before the festival comes，people clean and decorate their houses to welcome the new year.On New Year's Eve，people usually get together to watch annual Spring Festival Gala Evening on TV while eating delicious food.During the festival，people go from house to house to pay a New Year visit to their relatives and friends.
As a teenager，I like the Spring Festival very much because I can get lucky money from my parents and relatives and enjoy myself with my friends as well.
How_do_you_like_the_Spring_Festival?_I'm_looking_forward_to_hearing_from_you.
Yours，

【故事续写】
Paragraph 1：
Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face. When I realized who it was, my eyes were filled with tears. He was alive! I got up the nerve to ask him if he was Mr. Green, and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied yes. I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking to him in the hospital. His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received.
Paragraph 2：
He began to tell me how, as he lay there comatose, he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an angel, who was there with him. Mr. Green firmly believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him alive. Then he told me about his life. We exchanged a hug, said our good?byes and went our separate ways.
