    Do you enjoy seeing the stars twinkling at night ? Or do you love the ocean and sea, diving and racing with lovely dolphins? With heavy burdens on their shoulders, teenagers find it hard to pull out. Even if they are free, they prefer to occupy themselves with computer games or watching TV. How to get children away from screens is a great concern for parents. Now there is some good news for those concerned parents and teachers.
    A campaign is being launched to encourage children to surrender 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.
    The newly formed Wild Network – a collaboration of nearly 400 organizations – is attempting to attract youngsters away from television and computer screen and into fields, woods and parks.
    Organizers say it is the UK's biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play, and claim it could help improve fitness, mental alertness and general well–being.
    A documentary film, Project Wild Thing, will herald the launch at more than 50 cinemas across the UK from Friday. It looks at the increasingly fragile link between children and nature.
    Members of the network include the National Trust, RSPB, Play England and the NHS sustainable development unit.
    Andy Simpson, chairman of the Wild Network, said: "The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation. Time spent outdoors is down, roaming ranges have fallen drastically, activity levels are declining and the ability to identify common species has been lost."
    Suggestions of how to get more time in nature include collecting conkers(板栗), camping or snail racing, and observing autumn colour on trees.
    From January, the network will aim to make suggestions to politicians on how government can do more to get children muddy and bright-eyed.
    This is not the first time the message of less screen, more play has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were entreated to do the same by the BBC TV series Why Don't You, which somewhat confusingly called on its viewers to "switch off your TV set, and go do something less boring instead".
    小题1:What is the main purpose of the campaign in UK?
    A．To save 30 minutes for watching TV programme each day.
    B．To encourage children to play outdoors.
    C．To see the documentary film, Project Wild Thing.
    D．To teach students how to learn more efficiently in schools.
    小题2:According to the organizers of Wild Network, there will be many advantages from the campaign except _______.
    A．improving health conditions
    B．keeping touch with nature
    C．learning more about wildlife
    D．teaching children how to make full use of their spare time
    小题3:The underlined part “ to get children muddy and bright-eyed ” means “_______ ”.
    A．to make children covered with mud
    B．to urge politicians to do more things for children
    C．to encourage children to take part in outdoors activities
    D．to help children identify common species
    小题4:Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
    A．A new campaign.B．Less screen, more play outdoors.
    C．A newly formed Wild Network. D．Children get to know wild things.

    试题分析：英国正在发起一个活动，鼓励孩子们每天用半个小时的上网时间去参加户外活动。
    小题1:B主旨大意题。第一段所说就是本文的主旨：活动的目的旨在鼓励孩子们每天用半个小时的上
    网时间去参加户外活动。故B正确。
    小题2:D细节理解题。第三段“it could help improve fitness, mental alertness and general well–being”说
    该活动“有助于改善健康，使人精力充沛，增加幸福感”， 据此判断A项正确。第六段“The tragic truth
    is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation. Time spent outdoors is down,
    roaming ranges have fallen drastically, activity levels are declining and the ability to identify common species
    has been lost.”说“令人感觉不妙是，在这一代人中，孩子失去了与大自然和户外接触的机会。孩子们
    的户外活动时间减少，活动范围急剧缩小，活动水平下降，识别常见生物的能力丧失”，据此判断BC
    项正确。
    小题3:C词义猜测题。“muddy”原意是“使沾上泥泥巴”，那么“让孩子们沾上泥泥巴”意思就是“让孩子们去参加野外活动”。故C正确。
    小题4:B主旨大意题。选项A“一次新的运动”其概念过于宽泛；CD选项都是细节，不能概括主题。只有B选项最为贴切“多多离开荧屏，多多参加户外活动”。

    Tickets will range in price from ￡58 for first-round matches to ￡632 for the final at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Brazilian citizens over 60, local students and members of some social programs can purchase tickets for ￡15.

    “It’s always difficult to predict,” said FIFA marketing director Thierry Weil. “But I truly believe that it will be more similar to what happened in Germany than in South Africa in 2010.”According to FIFA, the 2006 World Cup was attended by more than 3.3 million fans. Almost two million tickets were sold to the general public in South Africa, although the number of applications during the first ticketing phase was significantly lower.
    All applications made before 10th October 2013 will enter a random selection draw if there are not enough tickets available to fulfill all requests. The sales of the leftover tickets will begin on 5th November on a first-come, first-served basis. Another phase will begin on 8th December after the draw is made. The tournament begins on 12th June, with Brazil playing the opener in Sao Paulo.
    A study on the price of World Cup 2014 looked at the ticket prices and the cost of travelling to Brazil and found that our English fans face hotel costs of between ￡46 and ￡797 a night, while packages range from ￡2,999 to ￡14,999.

    Nelson Mandela is respected and admired across the world. And to South Africans he is a superstar. He is a hero who shocked the world by fighting for peace between races(种族), despite the 27 years he spent in the prison of the South Africa’s white, racist government.

    With his game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer, Jeremy Lin (林书豪) finished the New York Knicks' dramatic reversed(扭转) victory to defeat the Toronto Rapters.
    The Knicks have won six games in a row, and Jeremy Lin has put up impressive numbers during the continuous period of competitions. Although the season is still young, the Knicks have reversed course in just one week from the NBA's most disappointing team to a playoff (季后赛) contestant. Lin, not team's high-paid stars, has saved the Knicks season and likely coach D'Antoni's job.
    After nearly 15 years of disappointing, sometimes unsuccessful seasons, Madison Square Garden is alive again, and New York City can't stop talking about the Knicks. To put things into perspective（角度）, consider this: Just several years back, Knicks fans protested nightly outside of the Garden calling for the team's ownership to fire their resented coach Isiah Thomas.
    Now, Madison Square Garden Co. shares are at a record high, the Knicks' average household television rating is up 70 percent since Lin joined the starting lineup (首发阵容), and jersey sales are increasing very quickly. I watched the Knicks-Lakers game at a bar in Harlem, and have not felt that kind of energy from fans since the great playoff between the Knicks and Miami Heat in the late 1990s.
    Beyond the Knicks, Lin may be saving the NBA as well. Just a few months back, the NBA took a massive credibility（威信）hit during a multi-month lockout（停工）, where the owners did not allow the players to go back to play until they accept the new salary levels. As a consequence, the season did not even begin until Christmas Day. Over the past few years, LeBron James' (勒布朗﹒詹姆斯) relatively long and unpleasant free-agent (自由职业球员) events, combined with poor play around the league, have angered fans and damaged the league's brand.
    Lin is leading a one-week NBA basketball revival. His legendary story has inspired Asian-Americans, increased NBA sales in China, and turned the basketball world upside down.
    小题1:The passage is mainly about______
    A．why the New Yorkers thought well of Jeremy Lin
    B．why Jeremy Lin became a member of the Knicks
    C．how the Knicks defeated its opponents in a great playoff
    D．how Jeremy Lin saved the Knicks, probably including the NBA
    小题2:According to the passage, Jeremy Lin's excellent performance saved the following except___
    A．The NBA
    B．Coach Isiah Thomas
    C．The Knicks
    D．Madison Square Garden Co.’s shares
    小题3:The underlined word “young” in Paragraph 2 probably means "______"
    A．not old yet.B．not completely grown.
    C．in the developmentD．in the early stage
    小题4:The NBA suffered the credibility crisis months ago because____
    A．The NBA delayed the season because of players’ wage disagreements
    B．the NBA was disappointed at James’ free-agent event.
    C．The NBA canceled the basketball match for the coming Christmas
    D．James had a bad performance in the basketball court
    小题5:Which one of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．These Knicks’ stars who were paid well saved the Knicks season
    B．The Knicks didn’t satisfy its fans for nearly 15 years until this season
    C．The fans objected to dismissing Coach Isiah Thomas outside the Garden
    D．The owners and the players didn’t agree on raising the TV ratings

    The respiratory(呼吸系统) virus known as SARS has appeared to spread in the United States only to family members of health workers with close contact to a sick person.
    On Thursday, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said there might be a case of severe acute respiratory syndrome（综合症） spreading through the workplace.
    Dr. Julie Gerberding said a suspected SARS virus patient who became ill after traveling to Asia might have infected a co-worker in Florida, which made her “very worried”.
    So far, a dozen people—nine family members and three health workers—were infected after coming into close contact with the person with SARS. The rest of the 166 suspected American cases have something to do with people who were infected while traveling in Asia.
    In the Gainesville, Fla. area, a 47-year-old woman was believed to have been infected at work by a 60-year-old woman who was the nation’s first suspected SARS case, said Tom Belcuore, director of the Alachua County health department.
    Since the World Health Organization announced a worldwide warning last month about SARS, the United States has started infection control in hospitals and among families of suspected cases.
    Florida officials said a school in Okaloosa County went through a cleaning after a 6-year-old boy suspected of having SARS appeared at school with slight symptoms. “Health officials are watching the boys’ contacts at school to make sure no one else is infected,” said Rob Hayes, health department spokesman, “The boy may have been infected from a family member,” Hayes said, “We immediately became aware of it and had the child sent home. He’s staying at home with his family until 10 days after symptoms disappear.”
    The researchers guessed that the virus might have come from animals. However, the scientists have not ruled out the possibility that some other microbe might also help make SARS more serious or easier to catch.
    小题1:The best title for this text is _______.
    A．A Worldwide Warning
    B．Suspected SARS Cases
    C．What Is SARS
    D．Possible Spread of SARS in the USA
    小题2:The writer wrote this text mainly to _______.
    A．discuss the danger of SARS
    B．report research result about SARS
    C．inform people of the spread of SARS
    D．explain to the readers what SARS is
    小题3:How many cases of suspected SARS are there in the U.S.A. according to the text?
    A. 166.             B.178.              C. 12.              D. 181.

    To make our digestive (消化的) system work well, we should avoid doing some things after having a meal, for example, drinking water. It is true that a person should drink 8 glasses of water every day to stay healthy. However, drinking water right after eating or even during a meal may disrupt (扰乱) digestion. It might affect the natural levels of acid and bile (酸和胆汁) that are necessary for proper digestion. What’s more, drinking cold water after eating might slow down digestion. So try to avoid drinking water at least an hour after a meal, and avoid drinking it while eating.
    Though walking after eating is healthy, doing it immediately after a meal is not. Doing so will make it difficult for the digestive system to take in nutrients (营养) from the food. Besides, the blood will flow towards other parts of the body, like legs, hands, etc., which will make the digestive tract not have enough amount of blood flow that is needed for proper digestion. So we should wait for at least 2 hours after eating, and then begin exercising.
    Sleeping should also be avoided right after eating. This is because going to bed right after a meal will lead to improper digestion. What’s more, such a habit will also make you put on a lot of weight. Therefore, wait for an hour or two, and then go to sleep.
    Many of us have the habit of drinking tea just after lunch or dinner, which is really unhealthy. The tea leaves contain a large amount of acid which prevents the protein in the food from digesting. The best time to drink tea is at least one hour after eating.
    Eating fruits right after a meal may fill the stomach with air and cause discomfort. They will also take time to reach the digestive tract, disturbing the entire process of digestion. To protect your stomach from digestive problems, eat fruits before or after 1-2 hours of a meal.
    In a word, if you avoid doing all the above things after eating, you will surely make your digestion easy, and you will be less likely to have digestive problems.
    Things to avoid immediately after eating

    		● Drinking water immediately after eating or during a meal may disrupt digestion by 小题1:______ the natural levels of acid and bile.

    ● Walking right after a meal can result in 小题4:_____ digestion by causing insufficient (不足的) amount of blood flow in the digestive tract.
    ● Don’t 小题5:_____ out within two hours after eating.

    Eating fruits

    ● Fruits should be eaten before or after 1-2 hours of a meal.

    Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge's new son will be named George Alexander Louis, the royal family says. A statement from William and Catherine's settlement  Kensington Palace said the baby, third in line to the throne(王位), would be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.
    On Wednesday the royal couple took their son to Catherine's parents' house in Berkshire, following a half-hour visit by the Queen. All three names had been among the favourites listed by British bookmakers and the announcement was relatively quick by royal standards. It took a month for the name ofPrince Charles, the heir to the throne, to be announced, and a week for William, his eldest son.
    George has been the name of six British kings. The last, George VI, was the father of Queen Elizabeth II and reigned from 1936 to 1952. Alexandra, the female form of Alexander, is one of the Queen's middle names and was also the name of the Queen mate of King Edward VII at the start of the last century. Louis is one of William's middle names and was the given name of Prince Charles's tutor and great-uncle Louis Mountbatten, who was murdered by the IRA in 1979.
    The choice of name, relatively short by royal standards, does not necessarily mean the baby will eventually become King George VII. The Queen's father was named Albert, but chose to be crowned as George VI.
    "It's interesting that they chose to go with just three names," historian Suzannah Lipscomb told Sky News. "It's almost as if the royal family is coming down with ordinary people, who tend to have fewer middle names than monarchs(君主).It is a name that none can find any problems with. George itself can't be shortened in any obvious offensive way. They've probably gone for something that is safe."
    小题1:Which of the following statements can best sum up the passage ?
    A．New royal baby named George Alexander Louis
    B．The royal couple gave birth to their eldest son.
    C．The choice of name was interesting and complicated .
    D．The new baby, third in line to the throne .
    小题2:From the passage we can know the father of the new royal baby is ____.
    A．Catherine B．George.C．CharlesD．William
    小题3:Which of the following is True based on the whole passage  ? 
    A．Prince Charles was the third heir to the British throne.
    B．George Alexander Louis was the third heir to the British throne.
    C．The announcement of the new loyal baby’s name is slow by royal standards.
    D．All three names , George Alexander Louis, were unpopular with British bookmakers.
    小题4:The underlined word “reign” in paragraph 4 probably refers to ______
    A．resignB．boomC．govern D．retire
    小题5:From what Suzannah Lipscomb told Sky News , we can infer in Britain _____
    A．the name of an ordinary person is simple but meaningful .
    B．George itself can't be simplified in any obvious offensive way.
    C．a monarch or a prince has usually more names in the middle than the ordinary people.
    D．a person with more middle names must be a monarch or a prince .
