A

Walk into the California home of Anne Belles and her husband, Jim Silcock, and you?ll see kids everywhere playing video games, doing homework, and getting ready for dinner. There are 30 boys in this house and Anne Belles is their mom. Belles has wanted to help children since she was a kid. “I was intrigued by the movie Oliver! in the 1960s, a musical based on the Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist. I told my mom, ?That?s what I want to do. ?”

Anne?s boys are from 3 to 25 years old. All of them are challenged in some way. “They each have special needs — physically, mentally (精神上), or at school,” says Belles.

Every day, a small army of childcare workers, nurses, and volunteers comes in to help cook and clean, wash 30 loads of laundry a day, and take care of health needs.

To find out how much such a large family costs, we followed Jim Silcock to the grocery store. He spent $880 on food for one week. Every month they spend $2,000 to run five cars, $15,000 for the fourteen paid helpers, and more than $10,000 on medical costs. The family receives $26,000 a month from the state government, and makes some money from a family business. All the money is spent on the children; having new clothes and fancy cars isn?t important to Belles.

How do the kids feel? 17-year-old Anthony says, “The family is there whenever I need something ... I feel like I am loved.”

“Everything I?m doing now is what I wanted to happen in my life,” says Anne Belles. “So, no regrets; this is perfect. I couldn?t ask for it to be better — maybe a bigger house, you know, would be nice.”

21. The underlined word “intrigued” in the first paragraph means “_____”. A. fooled B. attracted C. frightened D. disappointed 22. The boys Anne has raised _____. A. are all ready to accept a challenge B. all like Oliver Twist C. all have disabilities D. are all teenagers

23. For Anne and her husband, raising 30 boys _____. A. is their dream B. is no small task C. is a piece of cake D. is their family tradition

24. What do 17-year-old Anthony?s words mean? A. He is satisfied with his family. B. He has learnt how to love others. C. He wants to get more care and love. D. He is still looking for his own family.

B

Backpacking in Europe is a wonderful experience for young people around the world. After high school or university, you can plan a European backpacking trip.

Packing

As you plan the things you will carry, bring warm clothes and a raincoat or umbrella to deal with changing weather in different European countries. Europeans like dressing nicely, and good clothes will make you feel less like a dusty backpacker. It is not worth taking the trouble to bring a hair dryer or shampoo, as you can buy basic necessities in Europe.

Hostels

The cheapest places to sleep when backpacking in Europe are hostels (where people can stay and eat fairly cheaply). Most hostels have a lot of information about low-cost ways to see local attractions, and many offer tours. The cost for hostel beds differs from country to country. In Paris, you might pay 30 euros, but in Bulgaria, you can get a bed for 10 euros. In general, hostels are more expensive in large, popular cities such as Paris, Rome and London. _____

Many backpackers use rail passes (火车通票), which allow unlimited (不受限的) travel within country groups over a period of time. If you have the time to travel by train and will be traveling in a country group, this can be a good deal. Otherwise, you may consider point-to-point tickets, local trains, buses and airlines such as Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air, which offer cheap flights.

Food

Eating out in Europe can come with a high cost, and the best way to cut your food budget (预算) is to cook meals in the shared kitchens in hostels. You can make several meals into picnics to take advantage of Europe?s parks. When shopping for your picnic, try and buy at a local market. You

save some euros while supporting the local industry at the same time. When eating out, choose restaurants away from tourist attractions.

25. Which of the following is an advantage of hostels? A. They are often built in popular cities. B. They are mainly open to young people. C. They usually provide tour information. D. They always ask the same price for their beds.

26. Which of the following can be put in the blank in the text? A. Traveling. B. Shopping. C. Entertainment. D. Transportation.

27. To make a cheap trip in Europe, you?d better _____. A. eat meals on the train

B. choose a restaurant near a park C. enjoy a meal sold at a local market D. cook your own meals at the hostel kitchen

C

The first day of the month of May is known as May Day. It is the time of year when warmer weather begins. People celebrate the coming of summer with customs that are expressions of joy and hope after a long winter. Today, May Day activities have been moved to the May Day holiday on the first Monday of the month. It is a public holiday when families take advantage of the time off

to visit some of the UK?s many attractions, including parks, zoos, historic buildings, ancient towns and villages and beautiful countryside.

May Day celebrations have their origins in the Roman festival of Flora, the goddess of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer. People would decorate their houses and villages with leaves and flowers they picked at daybreak in the belief that the vegetation spirits would bring good luck. In the very early morning, young girls went into the fields and washed their faces with dew (露水). They believed this made them very beautiful for the following year.

May Day was an important day in the Middle Ages and was a favorite holiday of many English villages. People of the time used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer. This is the origin of the maypole (五月柱). People danced around them in celebration of the end of winter. Maypoles were once common all over England and were kept from one year to the next. The tallest maypole is said to have been put up in London on the Strand in 1661. It stood more than 143 feet high and was cut down in 1717, when it was used by Newton to support a new reflecting telescope (反射式望远镜) invented by Dutch scientist Huygens.

28. How do British people celebrate May Day? A. They visit friends and family members. B. They spend a lot of time shopping around. C. They show great love for the long winter. D. They celebrate it on the first Monday of May.

29. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____. A. going into the fields B. picking flowers at daybreak C. washing the face with dew D. getting up early in the morning

30. What can we learn about the maypole? A. People climb it on May Day. B. It dates from the Middle Ages. C. It was usually found in the cities. D. People used old, tall trees to make it.
