• 1．Fancy Dress High School Many American schools don't have a dress code （规范）.Sometimes students can dress in the wildest ways you could imagine!
     I noticed this during my first term as an exchange student at Macon High School in Missouri.One day，I saw all the students at my school were dressed up in strange clothing.The girls were wearing bright-coloured shirts and mini-skirts.The boys were wearing old-fashioned black suits.Later my friends told me that they were dressed up in the fashion of the 1900s.
     "But why？" I asked，surprised.
     "Because it's the homecoming week，a time when former（以前的）students of the school come back and meet each other again.There are parties and sports events.The school encourages us to wear 1900s clothes on Monday，pyjamas（睡衣） on Tuesday，orange clothes on Wednesday，clothes inside out on Thursday，and socks that do not match on the last day!Sounds like fun，doesn't it？"
     I'd never imagined students wearing anything so crazy at school before.The next day，I plucked up（鼓起） my courage and went to school in blue pyjamas.There was no embarrassment（尴尬） since everyone was in pyjamas，even the teachers!It excited us when we noticed that Mr Lewis，our American history teacher，who always has a straight face and never makes jokes，was wearing pyjamas too!It made class that day such a lot of fun.
     The rest of the week was also amazing.But I realised that homecoming week was not just about fun，but a chance to be creative and try out new things.

• 2．When 4-year-old British Prince George started his first day of school in September 2017，Chinese language was on his curriculum.And he wasn't alone.According to a report published by the British Council in September，about 51 percent of UK parents want their children to learn Chinese，as it is believed to be one of the most useful languages to know.
     In fact，the popularity of Chinese drove the UK government to launch （开展） the Mandarin Excellence Programme in September 2016.Its aim （目标） is to make at least 5，000 British state secondary school students fluent in Chinese by 2020.
     Yet，the UK isn't the only country showing a growing interest in Chinese.The language has become the second most spoken foreign language in the United States，after only Spanish.Besides，an increasing number of countries and regions have included Chinese in their national curriculum so far.
     So why are so many countries crazy about learning Chinese？One reason could be that as China continues to develop rapidly，Chinese is becoming a useful tool for people's personal and professional （职业的） growth.Aisling McCaffrey from Canada，who studied at the Renmin University of China，told Xinhua News Agency， "…learning Chinese is the best way to make sure that you can be part of that growth."
     This opinion was shared by former prime minister of the UK David Cameron，who urged （竭力主张） British students to learn Chinese to "seal （订立） tomorrow's business deals".And he quoted from former South African president Nelson Mandela， "If you talk to a man in a language he understands，that goes to his head.If you talk to him in his language，that goes to his heart."
  
  （1）The purpose of the Mandarin Excellence Programme is to

  .
  A．show a growing interest in Chinese
  B．make Chinese the most popular language
  C．make more British teenagers speak Chinese
  D．help students perform the traditional folk song
  （2）Which of the following is the reason for people worldwide to learn Chinese？

  
  A．Chinese is easy to learn.
  B．China is developing rapidly.
  C．China has a long history.
  D．Chinese books are fun to read.
  （3）The quote from Nelson Mandela in the last paragraph means speaking a foreign language

  .
  A．helps you communicate deeply with native speakers
  B．helps you understand people better
  C．makes you become more intelligent
  D．makes you become a person with a super power

• 3．If you are a teenager without a job，you probably do not have much extra money.Sometimes parents will give their children a weekly pocket money for doing small housework，but it is often not enough once the children grow into teenagers and want to do things with their friends all of the time.How to make money is an important thing for teens to learn.If you're wondering how a teenager can make good money，some ideas might be：
     Getting a part-time job at a local restaurant or store is always a sure way to make money as a teen.But getting a job somewhere like this might be hard，considering many jobs in local stores are being taken by adults more and more often.Babysitting is always a good way to make money as a teenager，and finding jobs as a babysitter is often easier than finding a job at a stores.
     Doing landscaping（绿化）is something that most adults do not like to do，and teens can usually find jobs around their neighbourhood doing the landscaping of friends and family.
     Some teens are good at something such as writing or photography.These teens can make money by doing things such as writing articles for newspapers or magazines or selling their photos online.
     Teens who live in a country area can try raising their own animals such as chickens，and selling them or their products.
     Looking for jobs can seem hard at first ，but if you have a try ，it should not be too hard to find a job or way to make money.

  A．Low pay.
  B．Heavy word.

• 4．Dear friend，do you have a plan for the coming holiday？Recently，Novel-Travel，one of the world's biggest travel guides，published its top-three travel trends （新潮流） that might change the way we travel this year.
     Augmented （增强的） attractions.The ever-improving headsets，smartphones，and Wi-Fi connections are technologies that can help to open up a whole new world of museums，zoos，and theme parks.For example，the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in the US has created an augmented reality app to help visitors enjoy its exhibits.People can view a sea cow growing flesh （肉） or a bird demonstrating （展示） how it catches fish.
     Road trips with electric vehicles （交通工具）.Today many people are choosing to reduce their carbon footprint （碳足迹） by driving an electric vehicle （EV） on their trips.On a warm，sunny day，they love to hit the road without the drone （嗡嗡的声音） of a gas-guzzling （耗油的） engine so they can fully enjoy nature.Another advantage of EVs is that we may find ourselves stopping for a while to recharge in a place we perhaps never imagined visjye.aiing.It "presents a perfect opportunity to stop and smell the roses"，wrote Novel-Travel.
     Getting under the stars.When was the last time you looked at the stars twinkling in the sky？Thanks to the increasing number of designated （指定的） dark-sky parks，travellers can now combine seeing a new place with viewing the stars.So what makes us feel so interested in looking into the skies？ "A hundred thousand generations of homo sapiens （智人） before us saw the Milky Way every night，" J.Thomas Beckett，board chair of the US Clark Planetarium，told AATV. "It's in our DNA."
  
  （1）Which of the following is the most important thing if a tourist wants to enjoy an augmented attraction？

  
  A．Technology.
  B．Time of visit.
  C．Transportation.
  D．Special museum building.
  （2）The underlined phrase "hit the road" in Paragraph 3 most probably means to

  .
  A．smell roses
  B．start a journey
  C．fully enjoy nature
  D．drive an electric vehicle
  （3）What is the last paragraph mainly about？

  
  A．There are fewer stars than ever twinkling in the sky.
  B．People can see stars only in special places nowadays.
  C．People in ancient times were quite able to see stars at night.
  D．Dark-sky parks make it easier for people to better enjoy stars at night.
  （4）Which of the following is the best title of this passage？

  
  A．Travel Trends
  B．Travel Guides
  C．The Way to Travel
  D．Looking into the Skies
