We’re on holiday in Spain now. We spent a few days in Barcelona first. It’s a great place but we had a good time though I didn’t feel well one day. Anyway, after we left Barcelona, we come to spend several days in Granada. And guess what? We couldn’t find a hotel because there were quite a lot of tourist. Then someone said, “Why not trying the cave dwellings（住宅）here?” We thought he was joking, but here we were really in a cave dwelling and it’s wonderfully. Tomorrow we’re going to visit a palace in Granada. We’ve enjoying it very much that we don’t want to leave this amazed place. We’re never going to have enough time explore everything! Take care! Ben

The world’s first “Sky Pool” has been uncoated（曝光）-and it’ll give anyone a touch of dizziness（眩晕）, unless he or she is not bothered by heights. Situated in the capital’s new riverside district beside Battersea Power Station, the glass pool, hanging 10 storeys, or 110 feet up as a bridge between two apartment buildings, is 25m long, 5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1. 2m. Swimmers will be able to look down 35 meters to the street below as they take a dip, with only 20cm of glass between them and the outside world. It’s even got a bar, folding chairs and an orange garden. The pool will be part of Embassy Gardens at Nine Elms, a huge￡15 billion building project beside the new American Embassy in south-west London. The project is creating thousands of apartments, the smallest of which are expected to cost nearly $1 million, and the pool will only be open to the apartments’ owners. Embassy Gardens takes design inspiration from the Meatpacking District of New York with floor to ceiling windows and brick frontages. The designer, Sean Mulryan, desired to push the boundaries in the capability of construction and engineering and do something that had never been done before. The Sky Pool’s transparent structure is the result of significant advancements in technologies over the last decade. The experience of the pool will be truly unique and it will feel like floating through the air in central London. Those people lucky enough to swim there will have a perfect view of the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye. It will be a selling point for developers when the second stage of the development is released to market. 1.Who can swim in the Sky Pool? A. Anyone at Nine Elms. B. Visitors to London. C.

What do you usually do when you have some free time? Do you take part in any form of hobby? If your answer is no, then you should think twice. Experiencing some type of interest or hobby might be the ideal way to develop your brain and improve your creative thinking. Here is a common problem that many older people have. They have spent such a great deal of time raising their family that once their children are grown and left home, they all of a sudden start to experience their age. Quite often, it is not their age that is the concern. It is the fact that they are unexpectedly offered more time on their hands. When you put in too much time not doing anything, this can affect your brain. This is just where the expression “If you don’t use it, you lose it” definitely is the truth. Your mind needs working out much like any other muscle in your body. This is why getting a hobby matters. It offers you something to do and is a perfect way to meet new people. Enjoying a hobby is also a perfect way to improve creative thinking at any age. Even young children can profit from taking a new hobby. For retired people, enjoying a hobby which they can find entertainment in with their grandchildren will help keep them active and feeling young at heart. Several hobbies that are terrific for both your mind and you body include yoga, biking, swimming and golf. If you aren’t fond of sports, even taking a walk regularly is a wonderful way to keep active. It helps you to appreciate fresh scenery and it has been suggested that the colors green and blue help make you more creative. As you can see above, you can get pretty much from taking a hobby. With so many choices waiting for you, begin your journey right away! 1.What can be implied about many older people from Paragraph 2? A. They lock creative thinking. B. They should develop their brain. C. They concern about their age. D. They used to have little free time. 2.Why does getting a hobby matter according to the text? A. It strengthens one’s brain. B.

One ambitious high school student knew exactly how to show his family that he got accepted into his dream college—by surprising them on Christmas Day. Barrington Lincoln, class president at Lutheran High School North in Ferguson, got accepted into Morehouse College in Atlanta back on Dec. 15. But for months, he knew he wanted to make the news known in a big way to his mother and aunt, Lincoln told ABC News. “I thought of the surprise in October,” he said, adding that once he got accepted he would purchase two school T-shirts from Morehouse’s online store. On Christmas Day, in a now video on Twitter, Lincoln, 17, gifted his mom Lisa McDonald and his aunt Shirley Gray the T-shirts with the school’s name on it. When the two sisters opened the gifts, they had no idea what they meant. In the video, Lincoln nudges (用肘轻推) his family, “You know what that means right? I got in!” While McDonald falls heavily on the couch in delight, Gray asks, “You’ve been holding out on us?” “I didn’t expect anything like that,” McDonald told ABC News. “It’s so satisfying to see him get the return on his studying.” “He always wanted to be the first in line and help everybody stay in line,” his mother added. McDonald said it’s especially sweet since she had to work an extra job to afford his private school after his father, a former Marine, passed away in 2015. Lincoln was only 15. “All kids need to have quality education,” the mother added. “I am putting an investment (投资) in his future.” 1.What did Lincoln choose two T-shirts for his mother and aunt mainly for? A. To show he loves them forever. B. To give them a Christmas gift. C. To tell them his academic success. D. To show he had grown up already. 2.How did Lincoln’s mother and aunt feel when they saw his presents? A. Puzzled. B. Satisfied. C. Disappointed. D. Embarrassed. 3.Which of the following can replace the underlined sentence “You’ve been holding out on us”？ A. You’ve been telling a lie to the two of us. B. You’ve been longing to tell us the truth. C. You’ve been playing a joke with two of us. D. You’ve been keeping it a secret from us. 4.What can we infer from the text? A. Lincoln’s parents could hardly afford his education. B. Lincoln’s mother felt her efforts paid off at last. C. Lincoln bought the T-shirts in the local supermarket. D. The video had been popular before December 15.

In my very first job with some archaeologists, I wasn’t digging objects out of the ground, instead I was employed as an artist, drawing what they found. However, I was soon more interested in the stories behind the objects than in drawing them and that’s how my career in archaeology started. I still draw what I find in my work as a specialist on the Silk Road, the old trade route running from Egypt to Mongolia, and I also work on some underwater projects too. In archaeology, my all-time hero is an American called Raphael Pumpelly. I first heard about him when I was a student on a trip to Turkmenistan, a country right in the heart of Asia. To get around the country, I had to learn Russian so that I could speak to the local people. When I got there I thought, “Wow! I’m one of the first Americans here!” Then an old man told me about an American archaeologist, Raphael Pumpelly, who was there doing the same thing over 100 years ago. Archaeology’s in my family. My wife’s in the same profession, and, although our two boys aren’t interested in the future in archaeology themselves, we’ve been on some great digs together and they love what we do because they get to travel with us. Last summer, we took them to Lake Titicaca in South America, in the high areas of the Andes mountain range. My best experience was when I was digging on the Egyptian Red Sea coast. There’s very little rain and it’s so dry that everything is kept as it was. In an old house, where the owner used to store goods from the ships that came in, I picked up a 700-year-old mat in front of the house and there, under it, after all that time, was the house key with the owner’s name carved on it. It felt like he could be on his way home any minute! And I thought, “Hey, I do just that. This man’s not much different to me!” 1.While working in Egypt, what did the writer find so interesting? A. That people from different centuries can be so similar. B. The fact that the doormat was in such good condition. C. The way the people managed to live in such a dry place. D. That there had been so much trade in that area. 2.Which entry will the writer probably make in his diary? A. Turkmenistan is interesting. I’m the first American to come here but I’m glad this is my last trip away. B. I have been diving today and found some objects for an exhibition. I’ve just finished drawing them for my records. C. I wish my children weren’t more interested in archaeology and would not work hard in the open like their parents. D. It’s nearly dark but Raphael’s still busy digging in that old house. He can be very annoying. He thinks he’s the most important person here. 3.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To describe the life of an archaeologist he admires. B. To persuade people to take up archaeology as a career. C. To explain what he enjoys about being an archaeologist. D. To show how archaeologists work.

How to Become a Lifelong Learner Learning doesn't stop just because school does. Making a commitment to yourself to learn something new every day, you will not only enjoy what you discover, but you will be able to apply your knowledge and become a teacher to future generations. Here are some steps to become a lifelong learner. Learn how you learn.1.Note what learning techniques are most efficient for you and use them as much as is practical, such as viewing online tutorials on websites like YouTube if you're more of a visual learner. 2.Try many different things so that you don't box yourself into believing you're only good at a few things. It's probable that you're good at many things, but you won't know until you've tried. Look at learning as an exploration and opportunity, not a chore (琐事)．Don't just force yourself to learn things because they are important or necessary.3. Follow your heart, as well as your sense of duty. Do you remember the 8th grade history that you hated so much, with all those names and dates that seemed to mean nothing? The point was to bring you to learn details now, which will knit chunks of information together later.4. Read, read, read.5. Reading is a gateway into other worlds and into the minds of your fellow human beings. And reading will help you to learn the discoveries and mistakes of others who have gone before you; reading is, in effect, a shortcut so that you don't have to learn things the hard way. A．Learn where your talents and interests lie. B．It was a chore then, but it makes sense, now. C．Recognize the educational value in whatever you read. D．Determine your own preferred learning style or styles. E．Their ways of learning might help you to improve your own. F．Make friends with your local library and new and used book sellers. G．Instead, learn things that you need to learn alongside things you love to learn.
