It’s so beautiful outside that spending the day in the office would be very boring. So why not take the vacations(假期)off? A new survey(調(diào)查)found that 31﹪of U.S workers don’t always take all of their vacation days. Americans have 12 vacation days on average(平均)each year, but they give back an average of 3 vacation days each year.
So why don’t they use up their vacation days? Some say they would rather get money back for their unused days; some busy workers say they just can’t leave their work. Americans have fewer vacation days than workers in any other country surveyed.
The French take their vacations seriously. French workers get an average of 39 vacation days, and 40﹪ plan to take at least one there-to-four-week vacation.
Workers in Sweden receive an average of 25 vacation days a year, but they can’t find time to use them all. More workers there return vacation days than any other country surveyed.
British workers have the longest working week in Europe(歐洲),with 23 vacation days --the shortest vacation. So they feel overworked.75﹪ say their weekends or vacations are too short and 40﹪ would sacrifice a day’s pay(工資)for one more vacation day.

Good morning, class!
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet is popular and it makes our lives colorful. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer and get more information from the Internet. We can learn English. We can read some good newspapers and magazines. It can make us clever in playing computer games. We can send E-mails to our friends quickly. We can chat(聊天) freely online with our friends. It can help us get in touch with people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer game and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Teenagers even get to have boyfriends or girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse and worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. We should get online with adults(成人)--our teacher or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some out-of-class activities at school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We have different kinds of activities. If you are interested in sports, you can play basketball or football. We can go to the English Corner. We can practice talking in English there. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
Thank you for listening to me. That’s all.

Having Fun “Growing” and “Stealing”?

Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students. People can “farm” on a piece of “l(fā)and” and “grow”,  “sell” or even “steal” “vegetables”,”flowers”, and “fruits” on the Net. They can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds” , “pets”, and even “houses”.

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED, 牛津英語(yǔ)詞典) is thinking of adding the Chinese word tuhao (土豪) to its 2014 edition (版本).
The word has become popular in China during the past few months to describe newly rich people who spend money in extravagant（鋪張的，浪費(fèi)的）ways. Tuhao has caught on in Western countries, too, to describe similar people in their countries.
The adoption (采用) of the word by foreign countries is an example of China’s spreading influence in the world not just economically, but also socially and culturally. People are paying attention to what is happening in China and are picking up some Chinese words in the process, especially those words that express unique (獨(dú)特的) Chinese ideas that cannot be easily translated (翻譯) into English.
The OED is also thinking of adding hukou (戶口) and dama (大媽) to the already 120 Chinese words in its dictionary. Hukou refers to (指的是) China’s system of residency permits (戶籍系統(tǒng)) and dama refers to middle-aged Chinese women whose gold buying habits influence the global gold markets. The news that the OED was adding these words has met with some criticism (批評(píng)). Some people say the words embarrass (使人尷尬) China, but others insist that in a globalized (全球化的) society it’s natural for words to spread and be adopted elsewhere. In fact, a word like tuhao expresses the humor of China. It’s easy to pronounce (發(fā)音) and very accurate (精準(zhǔn)的) at poking fun at (嘲弄) rich people who have more money than taste.
小題1:_____ may be adopted in the Oxford English Dictionary in 2014 according to the passage.

A．Tuhao

B．Hukou

C．Dama

D．All above

小題2:_____can be called “tuhao” according to the passage.

A．All newly rich people

B．People who own their money easily

C．People who love money very much

D．Newly rich people who spend money in an extravagant way

小題3:The underlined word “caught on” (in Paragraph 2) most probably  means________.

A．流行

B．繼續(xù)

C．接受

D．蔓延

小題4:The last paragraph mainly talks about __________________.

A．humor of Chinese style

B．criticism on the adoption of Chinese words into OED

C．support on the adoption of Chinese words into OED

D．different opinions on the adoption of Chinese words into OED

Do you know Weibo? Do you write a Weibo? If you don’t, 小題1: Weibo means microblog. People may spend much time writing a microblog, but it takes a little time to write a microblog. Why? 小題2:

In 2011, the number of Chinese, micro-bloggers grew to 300 million.小題3:For many microblog user, it is a great way of learning the freshest news, talking with friends and sharing different kinds of information, including news, daily life, pictures, music and so on. Many stars and famous people also write microblogs and share good things with their fans.
It is easy and fast to send a message on a microblog. 小題4: For example, when the big earthquake and tsunami(海嘯)hit Japan in March, 2011, messages like “Salt can protect people from radiation (輻射)” were hot on microblogs. 小題5: Later people realized it was just a rumor(謠言).
In a word, microblog plays a new role in the life of Chinese people.

A. It soon caused a crazy buying of salt. B. Because every message on a microblog is less than 140 words. C. Now more and more people are interested in writing microblogs. D. However, this can also lead to problems and even cause great fear. E. You are “out”!

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends.     . Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.”
Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert (專家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.
In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!
小題1:Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One?

A．What can they do about this?

B．Where do the problems come from?

C．When did they have these problems?

D．Why do they have so many problems?

C．introduce his friend	D．share his experience

小題3:According to the passage Robert Hunt might be ______.

A．Laura’s teacher

B．the writer of the passage

C．a(chǎn) person with a problem

D．a(chǎn)n expert on students’ problems

When your school doesn’t have a bus, and you live too far away to walk? How do you go to school?  “Let’s carpool! ”most US middle school students will get that cool idea. Carpooling is a group of people sharing the responsibility(責(zé)任) of driving to school in the morning. There are usually four or five kids in a carpool and their parents take turns driving the kids in their cars.It might be the kids’ first experience with real teamwork. Teamwork is really important in the carpool because nobody wants to make everyone else late. It’s a great lesson in resposibility.

Carpooling is coming into fashion everywhere now. You can find lots of informations of carpooling on the internet. Carpooling is cool! Why?
It’s good for the environment. In today’s culture of everyone needing to try their best to protect our environment, carpooling is one of the best ways. By taking 3 cars off the road, the pollution can be cut a little. Take that over a town, a city, a state, a country and think about how much less pollution is going to be in the air over the course of even one year.
Gas(汽油) now is much more expensive than it used to and if you need to watch the cents(美分), then it’s possible that carpooling could be the answer to your prayers. Even if you have to use your car once a week instead of two, that’s one round trip of gas you’re saving. So carpooling helps you save money.
Carpooling is a great way of getting to know people better. If you’re carpooling grade school kids, then you’ll find that slowly you’ll get to know your child’s peers(同齡人) and friends better. It's a great opportunity to meet people while saving the environment and your money.

Why do the high school students want to study abroad?	They don’t like their 小題1:  in the college entrance exams.
How do the students think of studying abroad?	They may have 小題2: by studying abroad.

Which country is the most popular with the students who want to study abroad?	小題5:  .

Your parents always tell you that a good education is the key to a bright future. The promise you made to finish your schooling has been completed. Another few years in some college classroom just doesn’t sound too attractive; so what are your choices? Let’s see, Choice One—You can live with your parents and do nothing. Or Choice Two—You could get yourself a job. Of course, there are other choices, but for this little discussion, we’ll just suppose that they aren’t related (有關(guān)的).
OK, so Choice Two is obviously going to be more effective. You will finally enter the real world. Well, hopefully high school helped to give you some kind of an idea of what type of job you would like to enter. If not, then it would be a good idea to speak with an expert working in the field you may be interested in before you jump into a job that you won’t like. Gaining knowledge can be good by helping you find the job that you will enjoy doing. Another reason to get some valued things before working. Internships (見(jiàn)習(xí)) or volunteering are usually a good place to start.
If you are ready to begin a job after high school, you will save money from college cost and happily making a living in your chosen jobs. From another point of view, jumping into the workforce (勞動(dòng)力) is sometimes the only way to see for yourself if you are ready to work a 40-hour week yet. If you decide that full time work is not what you are ready for, then this may advise that you should go back to a university and get a certificate.
