• 1．There are many fun，free activities that you can do as a family.All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time.And the best part is that these are the kind of fun，family memories a child will remember for a lifetime.
     Family Game Night
     Kids often get games for Christmas or birthdays，and would love to have a chance to play with their family.Or，make up some games of their own.Charades （字谜游戏） is a fun game that will challenge children to use their imagination.Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words and the other has to act out.
     Family Art Time
     Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own art.It doesn't need to be just a drawing-take some old magazines，let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own shape.Or let them use leaves，branches and whatever else they can find to make something from their imagination.
     Family Picnic
     Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn't cost any money.If the weather is nice，take them to a park or playground and let them have a day of playing.
     Family Field Trip
     A family field trip doesn't have to cost a cent.Ask a nearby farm if you can bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals.Or take them to a park to find certain items from nature.Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work-you might be surprised at the number of people who would be excited to share what they do with others，and it could be an interesting lesson for kids.

  .
  A．prepare some cakes for each other

• 2．Prom（高中毕业舞会）is a day you'll never forget.It's one of the most important events of your senior year，one you certainly don't want to miss.
     About a month before prom，I started my countdown（倒计时）.It took me about a week to find my dress.I bought it secondhand，but it was the most beautiful dress I'd ever seen-not too fancy，just the look I wanted.My shoes were bought from Wal-Mart.It might not seem the best place for shoes，but they were so comfortable that I couldn't wait to dance all night long in them.My cousin Melissa did my hair and make-up.I received so many compliments（恭维）at prom about my hair and make-up and I felt grateful to her.
     I had much fun with a group of friends.We danced for four hours and I felt as if my feet were going to fall off.After that came the dessert buffet（自助餐）.There were four to five tables filled with sweets.I only had a piece of chocolate cheesecake and this little cup of strawberry dessert，but both were to die for.
     By the time the casino（老虎机）and magician arrived，everyone was super tired.I wanted to sleep，but I went out into the hall with friends and took pictures.At around 6：30 am，we headed into the breakfast hall for breakfast and goodbyes.Although it wasn't the last time we would be seeing each other，it felt as if we were leaving behind so much.
     Prom is going to be one of the best times in your life.Don't think of it as a dance.Think of it as a life-changing moment.I know it was for me.

• 3．If you are fond of learning languages，you must start learning Chinese.English is the most widely spoken language in the world and it is a more powerful language in all fields.But it is expected that Chinese，which is one of the six official languages of the United Nations（UN），will be the most important language in the coming years.What are the reasons behind the rapid spread of this language and why should you learn it？
     My desire to learn languages was the reason why I studied many Latin languages and in the process，I deepened my knowledge of the languages and literature.However，I did not feel self-sufficient（自给自足的） from this knowledge.I gained a lot of information about the Western world.But my thinking was always about Asian civilizations.I always felt I needed to learn Chinese to be a global citizen because "without learning Chinese，we see with one eye".
     My contact with many international organizations and government institutions made me believe that Chinese is one of the most important languages of our time.After visiting the world's most celebrated capitals such as Paris and London，I discovered that Chinese language can be seen everywhere in these places.In the subway in Paris，you will hear instructions in French，English and Chjye.aiese.In London，for example，the Chinese language was introduced for instruction in schools.
     China is an important political（政治的）and economic country because it is making great economic progress that has never been seen before.The world is watching China with great surprise，and this peaceful Chinese rise（崛起）makes us decide to focus on learning the Chinese language and knowing more about Chinese culture.
     To be a global citizen these days，I would advise you to learn Chinese.It will add more beauty to your life and allow you to better understand Chinese civilization（文明）.
  
  （1）What can we learn about languages in the future according to the first paragraph？

  
  A．Some of them will disappear.
  B．Chinese language will probably be second to none.
  C．More official languages will be added to the UN.
  D．English will still have an advantage over others.
  （2）What do the examples in Paragraph 3 show？

  
  A．Paris is a wonderful capital city worth a visit.
  B．Chinese learning is very popular in schools in London.
  C．People in some western countries like speaking Chinese.
  D．Chinese language is playing an important role in the world.
  （3）What mainly causes Westerners to start learning Chinese according to the text？

  
  A．The rise of Chinese economy.
  B．Their curiosity about Asian culture.
  C．Their love for language learning.
  D．The long history of Chinese civilization.
  （4）What could be the best title for the text？

  
  A．How to be a global citizen
  B．What you should know about Chinese culture
  C．Chinese - the language you must learn
  D．Chinese economy-the most powerful engine

• 4．When you need to see a doctor，surely you will want to see a good one.But there is one important thing you may never have thought about：Has your doctor rested enough？
     Doctors in our country often have to work 34 hours or longer without sleep.Most of them work 104 hours a week，and some even 150.（There are only 168 hours a week!） One report said that a doctor who works such long hours cannot think more clearly than a drunk driver.Another found that doctors who sleep 5.8 fewer hours than the week before might make 22% more serious mistakes.Surely no one wants to get in a car that is driven by a drunk driver.So，how safe would you feel when you are under the care of a tired doctor？
     Sadly this problem has been around for a long time.There are no laws about it yet and hospital bosses don't look like they care either.And that is why we doctors are asking you to join us on the street this Sunday.Fight together with us on the street so we can fight better for your life in the hospital.
     Time：1 p.m.July 15 Place：City Hospital Square
  
  （1）How long do doctors often have to work per week in the country？

  
  A．34 hours.
  B．104 hours.
  C．150 hours.
  D．168 hours.
  （2）What does the underlined word "Another" in Paragraph 2 refer to？

  
  A．A country.
  B．A doctor.
  C．A report.
  D．A driver.
  （3）Why does the writer compare a tired doctor with a drunk driver？

  
  A．To find out who can think more clearly.
  B．To give an example of a common disease.
  C．To show who can work longer without sleep.
  D．To give the reader a clear idea of the danger.
  （4）What is the purpose of the text？

  
  A．To warn doctors not to work too long.
  B．To get support for the fight for doctors.
  C．To tell people how to find a good doctor.
  D．To call for a law against drunk driving.
