【題目】Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.

What to Expect

The host will provide accommodation(住宿) and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.

Meal Plans Available

Continental Breakfast

Breakfast and Dinner

Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner

It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal（谷物類食品），bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.

Friends

If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy(隱私).

Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes

Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities(設(shè)施) and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.

【題目】Zulema Munoz collects seaweed in a small coastal town 100 miles south of Santiago, Chile. A good week may see her cut 1,100 pounds of seaweed from the rocks where it grows.

Muftoz is one of the 30, 000 people for whom Chilean seaweed industry provides a livelihood. Throughout Latin America, the cultivation (種植) and collection of seaweed are gaining a support both as a source of food and as a means of ensuring food security in a region where 34 million people are food insecure and poverty affects 47 percent of the rural population. Countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela have all explored seaweed production for food. Yet as demand outpaces production and wild stocks have declined， more attention is being paid to sustainable cultivation and harvesting methods that can keep the industry surviving.

Seaweed has a long history in South American style of cooking. The native cooking of Chile made frequent use of cochayuyo, the most abundant of the country 750 types of seaweed. Today, cochayuyo is commonly found in place of meat incharquican, a traditional dish cooked slowly in a closed pan.

Kelp, a type of large brown seaweed, as the new vegetable is a global trend too, and for good reason. Nutritionally, seaweed is packed with iodine and other nutrients, and appears on trend-making menus in Google's New York cafeteria, though it used to be thought difficult to get people to eat it.

While 83 percent of cultivated sea vegetables are produced for human consumption, we aren’t just eating it. Seaweed is used in fertilizers and animal feed, and seaweed-based food additives are likely in many products in your kitchen and bathroom right now. Carrageenan, made from red seaweed, is in everything from shampoo and toothpaste to ice cream and some hot dogs.

While seaweed grows readily—there are concerns that humans are taking too much of the wild stuff. It is possible that overexploitation of natural seaweed resources could lead to significant ecological, economic, and social consequences at local, regional, and even global scales. In Latin American countries like Brazil and Peru, where the seaweed industry is based on harvesting wild seaweed rather than cultivated, the need for environmentally friendly models is urgent.

【1】What do you know about seaweed?

A. It is hard to grow. B. It is good to health.

C. It tastes delicious. D. It costs a great deal.

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A. How people collect weed. B. What people do with seaweed.

C. How people cook with seaweed. D. Where people trade seaweed.

【3】Why is seaweed cultivated according to the passage?

A. To make the best of the seas and to increase the export of seaweed.

B. To help more people out of poverty and to open up its new markets.

C. To meet the needs of the market and to preserve the wild resources.

D. To cut the costs of seaweed industry and to benefit rural population.

【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for not realizing what's happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy(笨拙的) They upsets us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things..
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. Without wandering minds, we wouldn't have relativity(相對(duì)論), Coke or Post-it notes..
So how can you come up with wonderful daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First, understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you're daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved(參與) in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.
It's also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep
Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away .Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.
A.It includes slow, steady(平穩(wěn)的) breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.
B. Therefore, it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone.
C. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
D. Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
E. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.
F. They stare off into space and wander(閑逛) by themselves.
G. Having interesting things to think about also helps.
