    Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
    What to Expect
    The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
    Accommodation Zones
    Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones2,3 and of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones3 and 4often offer larger accommodation in a less crowned area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.

    part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.
    Friends

    Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room.This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestule and is more suitable for the long-stay student.However,it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.

    Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners to care for lead a different kind of life. The expression “to lead a dog’s life” describes a person who has an unhappy existence.
    Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
    Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
    People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.
    Doghouse provide shelter but they can be cold and lonely in the winter. Husbands and wives use this doghouse term when they are angry at each other. For example, a woman might get angry at her husband for coming home late or forgetting their wedding anniversary. She might tell him that he is in the doghouse. However, the husband may decide that it is best to leave things alone and not create more problems. He might decide to let sleeping dogs lie.
    Dog expressions also are used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
    小题1:The passage tells us something about________.
    A．dogs and their lifeB．the expressions that describe dogs
    C．the meaning of expressions with the word “dog”D．the structures of dog expressions

    A．“meaner than a junkyard dog”B．“to work like a dog”

    A．“he lives in a dog-eat-dog world”B．“he leads a dog’s life”
    C．“he is in the doghouse”D．“every dog has its day”
    小题4: If we advise the others to leave things alone and not create more problems, we say_______.
    A．“become sick as a dog”B．“rain cats and dogs”

    There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckers. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.
    Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.
    Sometimes the new bucket would say, “See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”
    And all that the old bucket could say was, “I know I’m not very useful, but I can only do my best. I’m happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”
    One day, the gardener heard that kind or conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”
    Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare (光秃秃的)earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.
    小题1:What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?
    A．DirtyB．Dark
    C．Worn-outD．Plain-looking.
    小题2:What was the old bucket ashamed of?
    A．His past.B．His aging.
    C．His manner.D．His leaking.
    小题3:The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to         
    A．laugh at the old one
    B．take pity on the old one
    C．show off its beautiful looks
    D．praise the gardener’s kindness
    小题4:Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?
    A．Because it was used to keep a balance
    B．Because it stayed in its best condition
    C．Because it was taken as a treasure
    D．Because it had its own function

    Many Chinese have been greatly shocked by the traffic accident caused by the drunk driver Sun Weiming, who has killed five and injured some others in Chengdu, Sichuan. However, such a case is not rare.
    Today, the traffic accidents may have been regarded as a social problem. The car has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows actually from rude behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral(道德的) rights of others. In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless but just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one's actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even far beyond carelessness that can be imagined.
    Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to(归属于) the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can change drivers' reactions incorrectly, slow their judgment, and make them blind to the dangers that might otherwise be obvious. The experts warn that it is important for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep his/her emotions under control.
    Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem isn't only put upon drivers. Street walkers regularly ignore or break traffic regulations. They are blamed in most vehicle walker accidents, and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject（受…支配） to the basic rules of the road.
    Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicles have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through regular road inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to make people believe that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.
    小题1:Traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because          .
    A．auto driving has become dangerous and harmful in today's society
    B．people usually pay no attention to law and morality when driving
    C．they have caused serious psychological problems among drivers
    D．the car has killed and disabled more people than any weapon in history
    小题2:Who are NOT mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents?
    A．Careless bicycle-riders.B．Careless people walking in the street.
    C．Irresponsible auto drivers.D．Irresponsible auto manufacturers.
    小题3:Discussing solutions to traffic accidents, the author seems to be          .
    A．doubtful and hopeless
    B．angry and disappointed
    C．objective (客观的) and concerned
    D．anxious and annoyed

    Following the yoga teacher's gentle instructions, Bai Yunuo,15, from the High School attached to Beijing Normal University tried to get each of her poses correct.
    Bai's school offered 24 elective courses (选修课) for Senor 1 students this term and she chose two. It was her first yoga class.
    "I'm happy that I can learn yoga at school. I love dancing but I had some injuries on my knees when I was a kid. So I decide to try something soft.

    One in five American families will move every year. Moving is one of the most stress-producing events a family has to go through. Experts say it can be harder for children. How do you help your child adjust to the changes?
    The Ricardos moved from their old house to a new home. Same family, same dog-but it was harder for 9-year-old Elena. She hated the room, the house and everything. She hated leaving her friends the most.
    “ I was so emotional. I mean, saying goodbye to all my friends…..my very close friends, who was my neighbor, made me so sad,” says Elena.
    For some children, the emotional stress of moving is not much more different from the emotions when someone has died.
    “There’s that sense that, ‘I’ve lost my friends, my friends, my base, my school, my teachers-everything I knew that made me feel safe is all gone now. I have to start over,” says Dr. Tim Jordan.
    Starting over is exactly Dr. Tim Jordan’s advice. Make new friends, enter the new school and enter the new neighborhood. And here are some other pieces of advice.
    ● Explain clearly to the children why the move is necessary.
    ● Familiarize(使熟悉) the children as much as possible with the new area with maps, photographs or the daily newspaper.
    ● After the move, got the children to join in activities in the place.
    ● Help the children keep in touch with friends from the neighborhood before through telephone, letters, e-mail, and personal visits.
    小题1:
    Which of the following is useful to reduce the children’s stress before the move?
    A．Let doctors give children some advice.
    B．Try letting children accept the fact of moving.
    C．Let children keep in touch with their former friends.
    D．Copy the new environment in the old home.
    小题2:
    What can we know from the passage?
    A．Most American children can get used to the changes in moving.
    B．Dr. Tim Jordan lost his family, friends, teachers after moving.
    C．The emotional stress of moving is the same in some way as that of knowing someone’s death.
    D．the Ricardos lost their dogs after moving to their new house.
    小题3:
    The passage mainly wants to _____
    A．tell parents the reasons of moving.B．explain the reasons of stress.
    C．give parents some advice on moving.D．teach parents how to move.

    What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It isn’t the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools which make him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigation, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further; he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer he gets to many questions is into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
    The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There’s no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration(实证) must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason why investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at the theory through mathematics. The accuracy(正确性) of his mathematics was later tested through investigation. Einstein’s ideas were proved to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations(计算) that may test his investigations
    小题1: What makes a scientist according to the passage?
    A．The tools he uses.B．His ways of learning
    C．The way he uses his toolsD．The various tools he uses
    小题2: “…knowing how to investigation, how to discover information, is important to everyone.”
    The writer says this to show ___________.
    A．the importance of information
    B．the difference between scientists and ordinary people.
    C．the importance of thinking
    D．the difference between carpenters and ordinary people
    小题3: A sound scientific theory should be one that _________.
    A．works under one set of conditions at one time and also works under the same conditions at other times
    B．doesn’t allow any change even under different conditions
    C．Can be used many times under different conditions
    D．Can be used for many purposes
    小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．Scientists are different from ordinary people.
    B．The Theory of Relativity.
    C．Exactness is the core (核心) of science.
    D．Exactness and way of using tools are the keys to making of a scientist.
