    Do you long for lasting camp memories? Sure we can guarantee it.
    Shadow Ridge Summer Camps offer so many exciting things for campers to do. Unlike other camp programs that include horses as a small part of their program, at Shadow Ridge horses ARE the program ! We are 100% horse from stable（马厩）management, nature walks, and track rides to bedroom furnishings.
    Horses help us achieve many of our aims. Girls can learn to develop responsibility, self-confidence and personal connections in their lives while having fun. Using horses as a wonderful tool for education, our camps offer an interesting place for growth and learning:
    Imagine each girl having her very own horse to spend time with and a best friend to love and take care of. Each camper is responsible for a horse for the week. Our riding program provides a lot of riding and lesson time. Campers will learn how to take care of the horse and the tack（马具）, as well as how to ride. Days are filled with horse-related activities to strengthen the connection between each girl and horse, as the girls learn to work safely around the horses.
    At Shadow Ridge we try to create a loving, caring family atmosphere for our campers. We have “The Bunkhouse”（4 girls）, the “Wranglers Roost”（4 girls）, and “The Hideout”（2 girls）in our comfortable 177-year-old farm house. All meals are home cooked, offering delicious and healthy food for the hungry rider.
    Our excellent activities create personalized memories of your child’s vacation. Each child will receive a camp T-shirt and a photo album （usually 300-500 pictures） of their stay at camp.
    Our camps are offered during June, July and August 2013, for small groups of girls aged13-16 years, not only from Canada but also other parts of the world.

    Imagine living in a city made of glass. No, this isn’t a fairy tale. If you could grab your diving gear and swim down 650 feet into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Washington State, you would witness the secret world of glass reefs.
    The reef you’d be looking at is made up of glass sponges(海绵). But how can animals be made of glass? Well, glass is formed from a substance called silica. The sponges use the silica found in ocean waters to build glass structures that will give them shape and support. Be careful! Some of the fragile creatures are up to 200 years old.
    When sponges die, new ones grow on top of the pile of old ones. Over centuries, a massive and complex reef takes shape. Some sponges look like wrinkled trumpets, while others look like overgrown cauliflower or mushrooms.
    Dr. Paul Johnson, who discovered the Washington reef in 2007, also found other surprises such as bubbles of methane(甲烷) gas flowing out of the seafloor nearby. The methane feeds bacteria, and the bacteria feed the glass sponges.
    “It’s a new ecosystem we know nothing about,” said Dr. Johnson.
    The reef of yellow and orange glass sponges is crowded with crabs, shrimp, starfish, worms, snails, and rockfish. The glass reef is also a nursery for the babies of many of these creatures and was called a “kindergarten” by scientists.
    Many animals that live in the reef hang around for a long time, just like the sponges. Rockfish, for example, live for more than 100 years. Scientists are just beginning to study all the species that call the reef home.
    The Washington coast isn’t the only place where a living glass reef has been found. The first was discovered in Hecate Strait off the coast of British Columbia in 1991. Scientists all over the world were stunned to see it.
    小题1:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
    A．Man-made cities under the seaB．The world under the sea
    C．Glass “cities” under the seaD．Creatures under the sea
    小题2:It can be learned that the glass reef _______.
    A．is made up of a kind of materials called sponges
    B．is a work of art made by some American scientists
    C．is a new ecosystem people are not familiar with
    D．was first discovered off the coast of Washington State
    小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．The sponges must feel soft.
    B．Silica comes from animals’ body fluid.
    C．Methane is harmful to glass sponges.
    D．Glass sponges depend on the bacteria for a living.
    小题4:Why did scientists call the glass reef a “kindergarten”?
    A．Because the babies of many sea creatures grow well there.
    B．Because thousands of children visit it every year.
    C．Because it is crowded with snails and rockfish, etc.
    D．Because all the species call the reef home.
    小题5:What does the underlined word “stunned” in the last paragraph mean?
    A．Greatly surprised.B．Extremely scared.
    C．Highly satisfied.D．Very pleased.

    One is never too old to learn. Life learning (sometimes called un-schooling or self-directed learning) is one of those concepts that are almost easier to explain by saying what it isn’t than what it is. And that’s probably because our own schooled backgrounds have convinced us that learning happens only in a fine building on certain days, between certain hours, and managed by a specially trained professional.
    Within that schooling framestudy, no matter how hard teachers try and no matter how good their textbooks, many bright students get bored, many slower students struggle and give up or lose their self-respect, and most of them reach the end of the process unprepared to enter into society. They have memorized a certain body of knowledge long enough to rush back the information on tests, but they haven’t really learnt much, at least of the official curriculum.
    Life learners, on the other hand, know that learning is not difficult, that people learn things quite easily if they’re not compelled and forced, if they see a need to learn something, and if they are trusted and respected enough to learn it on their own timetable, at their own speed, in their own way—no matter what age and no matter whether we’re at school or at home.
    Life learning is independent of time, location or the presence of teacher. It does not require mom or dad to teach, or kids to work in workbooks at the table from 9 to noon. Life learning is learner-driven. It involves living and learning—in and from the real world. It is about exploring, questioning, experimenting, making messes, taking risks without fear of making mistakes, being laughed at and trying again.
    Furthermore, life learning is about trusting kids to learn what they need to know and about helping them to learn and grow in their own ways. It is about providing positive experiences that enable children to understand the world and their culture and to interact with it.
    小题1:It is implied in the text that it is hard to ______.
    A．tell the nature of life learning 　　B．carry life learning through
    C．learn without going to school 　　D．find a specially trained teacher
    小题2:According to the author, the schooling framestudy often ______.
    A．produces slow students with poor memories
    B．ignores some parts of the official curriculum
    C．fails to provide enough knowledge about life
    D．gives little care to the quality of teaching materials
    小题3:Life learners recognize that learning will not be difficult if they are ______.
    A．able to respect other people　B．careful to make a time table
    C．clear about why to learn　　D．cautious about any mistakes
    小题4:According to the author, life learning ______.
    A．could prevent one from running risks
    B．teaches a kid how to avoid being laughed at
    C．makes a kid independent of his parents
    D．could be a road full of trials and errors
    小题5:Through life learning, children ______.
    A．will grow without the assistance from parents
    B．will be seperated from the negative side of society
    C．will be driven to learn necessary life knowledge
    D．will learn to communicate with the real society

    Can a fish hear fishermen moving along the stream? What are the facts about the ability of a fish to see? Can they tell the difference between colors?
    The sharp hearing of a fish has been proved by two scientists, who trained a fish to expect its food when it heard the sound of a whistle. And a slight sound two hundred feet away could drive fishes away. That should make fishermen start thinking.
    One scientist had made experiments to prove fish can recognize different colors such as red, brown, yellow and green.
    Fish also have an eye for different shapes. One scientist proved this by teaching fish to connect certain patterns with food. He used a small circle and a square. If the fish swam towards the circle, they received food as a reward. If they swam towards the square, they received nothing. The fish learned in time to go to the circle but not to the square. Does this mean that in time fish might learn to leave alone all food on hooks that they have seen often before? Here is something for all fishermen to think about!
    These facts help to make more believable some of the “believe it or not” stories that have been told about fish. It is clear that fish have sometimes shown their ability to gain knowledge as man does. A good example of what we might call “thinking” by a fish is given by an experience of Dr. Andrew Gage. Fishing over a bridge, he hooked a fish. It struggled and dragged the line two hundred feet away before he stopped it. Then it swam back to the bridge. The clever fish then swam round a pile and, with a sudden push, broke the line. If the story ended there, one could say that the fish had freed itself by chance. However, Gage went on fishing. Below him he could see the fish that had broken loose. After another twenty minutes the fish again seized the food on the hook. This time it did not swim out but swam round one of the piles and again broke the line.
    Many stories are told of the fish that get away and the clever “old hand” ones that can’t be caught. The more often a fish is nearly caught, the more difficult it will be to interest it next time.
    小题1:The last two paragraph’s mainly discuss _________.
    A．whether a fish can think as man does
    B．how a fish could escape from danger
    C．how to catch a fish more easily
    D．whether a fish is believable
    小题2: What’s the best title of the passage?
    A．Fish can hear and see
    B．How clever is a fish?
    C．Fish can play tricks
    D．How scientists help fishermen.
    小题3:We can infer from the last paragraph that _________.
    A．it’s difficult to catch fish;
    B．fish are cleverer sometimes than fishermen
    C．fish seem to learn by their experience
    D．fewer people will be interested in fish

    You’ve bought what you need. The grocery cashier asks, “Will that be paper or plastic? You reply “Plastic, please.”
    This seems like a simple question and there are plenty of reasons we choose plastic: easier to carry, lighter than paper bags, possibly less damaging to the environment, less expensive to the shop owners, able to be used as trash bag, and so on. There are different opinions on plastic and paper. Now let’s follow the travels of 3 plastic bags. It begins at the grocery store with the customer’s choice.
    Plastic Bag 1: As the waste engineer come by and pick up the trash, the first plastic bag falls out. It sits on a small street for a couple of hours until a car comes along and takes it down to the road. Then a gust of wind blows it across the road, then another car, then another gust of wind finally makes its way to the beach. Water fills the plastic bag and makes it look like a jellyfish. A seal(海豹) swims by, thinking it looks very interesting, and swallowed it. The plastic bag may stay in the seal’s stomach for months, maybe years. You see, our lovely animals have been living thousands of years in a world where everything can be eaten.
    Plastic Bag 2: This bag does make its way to landfill(垃圾场). Before they have a chance to cover up the thousands of pounds of daily waste, a strong wind comes up and blows these plastic bags out of the landfill. Once the wind stops, workers will be sent to collect thousands of bags around. But they can’t possibly get them all. So our little bag continues his adventure getting caught in trees, eaten by birds or making its way to our lakes or rivers.
    Plastic Bag 3: The last bag also blows away but is caught in a landfill where it sits for many years, as all the trash is wrapped in a big plastic bag, making natural degradation(降解) impossible. Although workers do much work to make sure water and air system won’t be polluted, some do. Guess what, plastic bags are made from petrol, a harmful waste material, which in one way or another makes its way to the environment.
    Another problem with putting plastic bags in out trash is that our landfills for most cities may be filled in about 20 years. More importantly, since we are running out of land to build homes, you might have the pleasure of one day living on top of your plastic bags!
    One of the best suggestions is not to use a bag at all or bring your own cloth bags. If you must, please choose paper bags, which, though not suggested, can be eaten by animals. And there are more opportunities recycle paper bags. It does take a little extra effort. But please have a thought about the little seal next time you say, “Plastic please.”   
    小题1:According to the passage, what is NOT the reason for a customer to choose plastic bags?
    A．He can use plastic bags to carry trash later.
    B．He finds paper bags heavier than plastic bags.
    C．He finds plastic bags more convenient to carry.
    D．He can save money for plastic bags are cheaper.
    小题2:The author describes the travel of Plastic Bag 1 to show ______.
    A．seals like eating plastic bags around them.
    B．seals really have a good stomach.
    C．seals are potential victims of plastic bags.
    D．seals are not able to differ plastic from food.
    小题3:Wrapped in a big plastic bag, Plastic Bag3_____.
    A．still does harm to the environment
    B．can hardly be harmful to the environment
    C．is much safer than Plastic Bag2
    D．will end up being eaten by seals or some fish
    小题4:What will the following part of this passage talk about?
    A．Suggestions on reducing harm of plastic bags.
    B．Disadvantages of using too many plastic bags.
    C．Persuading people into using paper bags.
    D．Other potential victims of plastic bags.
    小题5:What is the overall tone of this passage?
    A．ExcitedB．SeriousC．IronicalD．Casual

    Last week Jay McCarroll and The HSUS (The Humane Society of the United States) made a bold fur-free statement on the runway, marking a new chapter for the fashion industry and animal protection. The encouraging response to McCarroll’s show confirmed that change is happening in fashion.
    McCarroll has good reasons for rejecting fur. Each year, tens of millions of amimals, including dogs and cats, needlessly suffer and die to fuel the fur industry. But what did Jay McCarroll use in place of fur?“I have patchwork pieces that contain all sorts of combinations of fabrics. The rest is cotton, nylon, polyester…you name it. I even have some stuff made out of bamboo / cotton blend. Anything but fur and leather,”he told Fashion Wire Daily.
    “So many people want to protect animals and live their lives without causing unnecessary cruelty. More than two thirds of Americans have pets, and we share a bond with animals every day. Saying no to fur can help millions of animals, and we want to show our respect to leading designers like Jay who embrace compassion(同情) as the fashion,”said Michael Markarian, executive vice president of The HSUS.“It is great to see leaders in the fashion industry recognizing that the animals need their fur more than we do.”
    小题1:Which of the following is true about Jay McCarroll?
    A．He is a famous fashion designer.
    B．He is the executive vice president of the HSUS.
    C．He is an editor of Fashion Wire Daily.

    A．A new unit of a book.B．The beginning of a new trend.
    C．The latest issue of a magazine.D．A newly established organization.
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT recommended for clothing by Jay McCarroll?
    A．Polyester.B．Bamboo.C．Leather.D．Patchwork pieces.
    小题4:What do we learn from this passage?

    请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。请将答案写在答题纸上的相应位置。（每空1词）
    The Chinese are very generous(慷慨大方的) when it comes to educating their children. Some parents send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia, regardless of how much this costs. Many also want their children to take extra-curriculum activities where they either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples buy a computer for their son or daughter.
    However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children's skills vary; they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
    The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study effectively. They are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.
    Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework.
    Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of satisfaction and confidence.
    An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious and arouse his interest. If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to mend it; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. Such activities do more than teach a child to read a book; but rather they teach them to think, and to use their minds. This is much more important than learning by reading a book.
