The Tropical Paradise Holiday

Welcome to St Anna, our tropical paradise just off the coast of Latin America. You can spend two weeks in our luxury four-star hotel. The cost of your flight is included in the holiday, and you can be picked up from your home by our special airport bus. On your arriving, our coach will be waiting to take you to the hotel. All flights leave from Heathrow on a Monday morning.

The Cowrie Hotel is built right on the beachfront, and many rooms have wonderful ocean views. If swimming and surfing are not enough for you, the hotel also offers horse rides on the island, and a discount membership of the golf club.

The Rain Forest Adventure Holiday

Every year Broughton holidays offer twelve days of unforgettable adventure in a tropical rain forest. You may have a choice of Borneo, Malaysia, Indonesia, or even to the greatest rain forest of them all, the mighty Amazonian forest.

You will fly to our special base camps at the edge of the forest, where you will be given five days of survival training, and talks on the local wildlife.

Then you take a bus into the forest. You will have to walk the final five miles to the camp sites to avoid disturbing the local ecology. All of the camp sites have been carefully built to cause the minimal amount of disturbance to the local wildlife.

Remember that these adventure holidays take you deep into the wilderness,and they are not suitable for families with young children. Also remember that no more than two dozen guests can stay at any camp at one time, so if you want to go on one of these very special holidays, you will need to book early ![來源:學_科_

“A very destructive seven-year old child kicked my legs and scratched at my hand,” said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked,” said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.

Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents' wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.

Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table,and unable to use the lavatory properly.

We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.

Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children's behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources---time---so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.

1.What problem do people ignore in the writer's opinion?

A. The school violence.

B. The pressure of students' learning.

C. The right to achieve students' potential.

D. Students' responsibilities.

2.The writer's attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of____________.

A. dissatisfaction B. sympathy

C. understanding D. tolerance

3.The underlined part in Paragraph 4 may mean_____________.

A. children don't live with their parents in the same room

B. parents care little about children's life at home

C. children spend little time with their parents at home

D. parents attempt to establish a good relationship with their children

4.From the last paragraph, we can infer that__________.

A. Schools can’t correct the wrongs that society does to teachers

B. Teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parents

C. Parents should spend time with children making them ready to learn

D. Students are responsible for making themselves known in society

5.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Children’s behavior at school is worrying people

B. Parents expect schools to correct their children’s bad habits

C. There is no point in parents’ teaching children at home

D. Don’t blame teachers when it’s parents who are failing

Human beings have used tools for a very long time. In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used more than two million years ago. They made these tools by hitting one stone against another. In this way, they broke off pieces from one of the stones. These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side. People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals, and also for making other tools out of wood. Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat eating animals, such as lions and tigers. Tools helped people to get food more easily.

Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence. The human brain grew bigger, and human beings began to invent more and more tools and machines. The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used, and perhaps it is the most important. Some scientists say that it was the key to success of mankind.

Since 1960 a new kind of tool has appeared. This is the silicon chip (硅芯片). It is smaller than a finger nail, but it can store lots of information. It is an electronic brain. Every year these chips get cleverer, but their size gets smaller, and their cost gets less. They are used in watches, calculators and intelligent machines that we can use in many ways. In the future we will not need to work with tools in the old way. Machines will do everything for us. People will have plenty of spare time. But what will they do with it?

Human beings used stone chips for more than two million years, but human life changed very little in that time. We have used silicon chips for only a few years, but life is changing faster every day. What will life be like twenty years from now? What will the world be like two million years from now?

1.From paragraph 1, we can know ________.

A. why early human beings cut skin from dead animals

B. how early human beings discovered the tools

C. what early human beings used the tools for

D. what food early human beings stored

2.The stone chip is thought to be the most important tool because it ________.

A. was very important to the development of mankind

B. led to the invention of machines in the early time

C. developed cooking abilities of mankind

D. was one of the first tools of mankind

3.The silicon chip is mentioned in the passage to ________.

A. show the changes of tools

B. introduce a new kind of tool

C. give an example of using tools

D. compare the effects of two kinds of tools

4.At the end of the passage the author seems to suggest that life in future is ________.

A. out of order B. less colorful

C. hard to predict D. full of meanings
