She 24 that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and 25 written book reports to her. She would mark them up with check marks and underline the important 26 . Years later we realized her marks were only a trick, because my mother was an illiterate (文盲). Although we had no money, between the covers of those books, I could go anywhere, do anything and be 27 .When I entered high school I was an A-student, 28 not for long.

Dont worry.Here are some useful tips.Save: This probably is the most important preparation for traveling. Cut expenses(开支) to fatten your wallet so youll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.Plan ahead: Dont wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security（安全） and savings .Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.Plan sensibly(明智地): Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a less-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes: Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cant find a cheap restaurant.Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www.Travelocity. com, www.bargains-lowest fare. com and www.Economy travel. com.By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.( )36. This passage is about_.A. how to plan your travel B. how to travel with less moneyC. how to make your travel interesting D. how to get life experiences( )37. Before your trip, the first thing you should do is _.A. make a plan of the route B. get information on the InternetC. save money by spending less D. buy tickets in advance( )38. The writer advises you _.A. to share costs with any other people B. not to go to well-known placesC. not to visit dangerous places D. to buy anything you want to buy( )39. During your trip, _.A. you need more medicine than clothes B. you should look for work all the wayC. you can gain valuable life experiences D. you should remember to do your homework B You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing(令人沮丧的) tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!Communicating with negative(消极的) people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others pity or respect.When you communicate with positive(积极的) people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger(匕首)of a negative person is put in you. You feel the heavy feeling that, all in all, brings you down.Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to a negative person, but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they wont feel ashamed of themselves about that.Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着)you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.40. How can negative people have effect on us?A. By telling US the nature of life. B. By influencing our emotion.C. By comparing their attitude to life with ours. D. By changing our way of thinking.41. Some negative people base their happiness on _.

According to the passage, to reduce negative peoples influence on us, we are advised . A. to change negative peoples attitude to life B. to show our dissatisfaction to negative people C. to communicate with negative people as little as possible D. to make negative people feel ashamed of themselves43. What can we learn about negativity? A. Its effect can be completely avoided. B. Its effect can last.C. It hardly happens among family members. D. Its effect is smaller than the effect created by a positive person. CEnglish is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the worlds books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary perhaps as many as two million words. However, lets face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which arent sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them. And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers dont fing, grocers dont groce, and hammers dont ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldnt the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese so one moose, two meese? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next? English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. Thats why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.44. According to the passage _. A. boxing rings should be roundB. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeC. there should be egg in an eggplantD. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things45. Which of the following is the correct plural (复数形式) form?A. Beeth. B. Meese. C. Geese. D. Tooth. 46. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?A. Quite a lot and quite a few.B. Overlook and oversee. C. A wise man and a wise guy.D. Hot as hell and cold as hell. 47. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are _.A. lazy B. crazy C. clever D. stupid DWith more and more cars on the road, traffic jams are inevitable. Traffic jams can lead to increased accidents as there are more cars, with more people trying to get to their destination, all the while getting worse. Although its impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether, there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road.Check for traffic jams before you leave. You can listen to the radio for traffic news, or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic. If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic, you can choose another.Look for a different route all the time. Most traffic jams happen on busy roads. Using country roads could see you avoiding a lot of traffic. Although the distance you may have to travel is further, it can work
