    Searching for airfares (飞机票价) often seems like a game that passengers are bound to lose.
    Prices change from day to day, even minute to minute. Looking through multiple websites for the best deal can be a big challenge. Even when you do book, there’s no guarantee that you are going to get the best price.
    “You just don’t know when to pull the trigger. It’s not like buying anything else I can think of,” said George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com.
    Harriet Levy paid $179 for a recent round-trip flight on American Airlines between New York and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Sitting just one row behind her, Shirley Harrison paid $215. A few rows back, Ellis and Dianne Traub paid $317 each. There were at least 12 fares on the flight, ranging from $169 to $360.
    There’s no reason for it, Harrison said.
    Fares can fluctuate significantly in just a few hours. One Delta flight from New York to Los Angeles jumped from $755 to $1,143 from a Friday to Saturday in late April, then fell to $718 on Sunday.
    The flight was one of a dozen the Associated Press followed over three months for a vacation between July 16 and 22. The number one finding: avoid booking tickets on weekends. It’s the most expensive time to buy.
    There’s no way to guarantee the best fare. But before booking, travelers should pay attention to this additional advice:
    ? Book on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. That’s when airlines most often offer sales.
    ? Buy in advance, but not too early. The best time is four to six weeks before traveling. In general, prices for any given flight are highest eight to 10 weeks and two to three weeks in advance.
    ? Make use of social media. Airlines are giving more benefits like exclusive (独家) sales to travelers who interact (互动) with them on Twitter and Facebook. Those specials are often gone within hours.
    ? The so-called discount (折扣) airlines – JetBlue, Air-Tran, Southwest and Frontier – adjust their fares less frequently than other airlines, so you can feel more confident that the price will stay the same. But their prices aren’t always the lowest. Researching multiple airlines’ fares is the only way to get a good deal.
    小题1:What can we infer from the first sentence of the text?
    A．Passengers are unable to search for airfares.
    B．Airlines often play games with passengers.
    C．Airfares are set in different situations.
    D．It’s difficult for passengers to get the best price.
    小题2:The underlined phrase “pull the trigger” in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.
    A．start searchingB．get the highest price
    C．make a purchaseD．get on board the plane
    小题3:By using a lot of figures, the author intends to _______.
    A．show there is standard price for every single airline
    B．discover the rules behind airfares
    C．guarantee passengers a low price
    D．prove airfares can vary widely
    小题4:Passengers are advised to book flights _______.
    A．in the middle of the week
    B．on special websites
    C．several months before traveling
    D．with airlines which are famous for offering discount prices

    Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood. When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.
    We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the tree and sing. There isn’t a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.
    I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and that way have my own private musician.
    I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home, I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.
    I had left the cage out on our back porch（门廊）, and on the second day of the bird’s captivity my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth . The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.
    The following morning when I went to see how my captive was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened? I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought.
    Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time and, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred: “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”
    Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.
    小题1:The boy caught a mockingbird because___________.
    A．he wanted a pet for a companion
    B．he liked its beautiful feather
    C．he wanted it to sing for him
    D．he had just got a cage
    小题2:The mockingbird died because__________.
    A．it ate some poisonous food the boy gave it by mistake
    B．it ate the poisonous food its mother gave it
    C．it was frightened to death
    D．it refused to eat anything
    小题3:The word “ornithologist” in the last but one paragraph probably means________.
    A．a religious person
    B．a kind and sympathetic person
    C．a schoolmaster
    D．an expert in birds
    小题4:The most important lesson the boy learned from the incident is that______.
    A．birds put in a cage won’t live long
    B．you have to be very careful about the food you give to young birds
    C．when you capture a young mockingbird, you should keep it away from its mother
    D．freedom is valuable to all living creature.

    Madame de Stael says that only the people who can play with children are able to educate them. For success in training children, the first condition is to become a child oneself. It means to treat the child as really one’s equal, that is, to show him the same consideration, the same kind of confidence one shows to an adult. It means not to affect the child to be what we ourselves want him to become, but to be affected by the impression of what the child himself is; not to treat the child with cheating, or by force, but with the seriousness and true love suitable to his own character.
    Not leaving the child in peace is the greatest problem of present methods of training children. Parents do not see that during the whole life, the need of peace is never greater than in the years of childhood, an inner peace under all outside liveliness.
    But what does a child experience? Corrections, orders, interference（干涉）, the whole livelong day. The child is always required to leave something alone, or to do something different, to find something different, or want something different from what he does, or finds, or wants. He is always guided in another direction from the true inner will that is leading him. All of this is caused by our so-called enthusiasm in directing, advising, and helping the child to become the same model produced in one assembly line（流水线）. Understanding, the deepest characteristic of love, is almost always absent.
    To bring up a child means carrying one’s soul in one’s hand; it means never placing ourselves in danger of meeting the cold look on the face of the child. It means the truth that the ways of injuring the child are limitless while the ways of being useful to him are few. How seldom does the educator remember that the child, even at four or five years of age, has already had a sharp feeling! The smallest mistrust and unkindness, the least act of injustice, leave wounds that last for life in the heart of the child. While, on the other hand, unexpected friendliness and kindness make quite as deep an impression on those soft senses.
    小题1:The passage mainly talks about _______.
    A．misleading zones and right ways in educating children
    B．current problems in training children
    C．what should be taught to children
    D．the importance of educating children
    小题2:Children, according to the passage, are experiencing _______.
    A．corrections, orders and peace
    B．orders, interference and peace
    C．interference, orders and corrections
    D．peace, guide and praise
    小题3:If you were a parent, which of the following methods is TRUE according to the text?
    A．You could treat your children not so seriously for they don’t understand many things.
    B．You could train your children as you wish them to be since you are parents.
    C．You should sometimes leave your children in peace as they wish in their childhood.
    D．You should correct your children immediately if their behavior is not what you want.
    小题4:We may conclude that the author believes people should _______.
    A．play with the children with enthusiasm all day long just to please them
    B．try to give an order, advice and suggestions to their children at any time
    C．treat their children just as the way they treat an adult in their daily life
    D．regard their children as an equal to them and have understanding of the inner peace of them

    When Mrs．Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna，Austria，people asked the obvious question,“Why did she live to be 107?” .Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100．Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities．In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place，city living often provides benefits that country living can lack．One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿)of those interviewed．
    This factor is exercise．In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus．Even taking public transportation often requires some walking．Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(电梯)，and so people must climb stairs．City people can usually walk to local supermarkets.  Since parking spaces are hard to find，there is often no alternative to walking．
    On the other hand，those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day．In fact，the opposite is often true．To go to school，work，or almost anywhere else，they must ride in cars．
    小题1:The Vienna survey may help to explain _____
    A．the complaints of people in apartment houses
    B．the cause of Mrs Groeger’s death
    C．the longevity of people like Mrs．Groeger
    D．the image of cities in general
    小题2:The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some _____
    A．benefits of walking
    B．occasions for walking in city life
    C．comments made by city people
    D．problems of city living

    A．to take the elevator
    B．to walk up the stairs
    C．to ride in a car
    D．to find an alternative to walking
    小题4:People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because __
    A．they don’t live near business areas
    B．they don’t need the exercise
    C．they never have parking problems
    D．they can’t afford to take the bus
    小题5:A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that__________   
    A．air pollution is not serious
    B．anyone can live to be 107
    C．country people should move to the city
    D．walking is a healthful exercise
