Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays”? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, but children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives. Is “Survival Holidays” for children or parents?
____________________________________________________ Why do people like “Survival Holidays”?
____________________________________________________ What do the children in big cities usually do?

你对颜色了解多少呢？下面的五个段落将会帮助你进一步揭开颜色的奥秘！阅读五个段落，根据每段的中心内容将段前序号填入下面的表格中。
A. There are many colours in nature. Do you know that colours have weight? Let’s do a small test. First, put two objects of the same weight into two boxes. Then, cover one box with a red piece of paper, and the other with a piece of paper. Now hold the boxes in your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
B. Why do you think that is? A scientist found that different colours have different weights in a man’s mind. That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.
C. Colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why do the scientists say this? It is because the smell reaches our brain through sense organs (感觉器官).
D. Scientists say that people react (反应) differently to different colours. Colours you like will make you feel good, but colours you don’t like will make feel nervous or sick.
E. For example, if you sit in a room with red windows, walls and floors for two hours, you’ll you have been there for four fours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. If a person goes out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. So our bodies change, depending on what colour we see.
| Do a test to see if colours have weight. |
|
| Colours can change our body temperature. |
|
| Colours have smell. |
|
| People react differently to different colours. |

It?s always hard to say goodbye to someone you love. In Washington DC, US, local (当地的) zoo-goers are sad about the news that their superstar panda Tai Shan is going to leave the National Zoo.
At a morning meeting on December 4, zoo director（主管） Steven Montfort said that the black-eared bear would be going off to China sometime over the winter, under an agreement（协议）with the Chinese government.
Tai Shan, whose name means “peaceful mountain,” was born at the DC zoo on July 9, 2005. He has been loved by zoo-goers since his first public show in December of that year.
But under the agreement that brought his mother, Mei Xiang, and father, Tian Tian, to the zoo from China, all three belong to (属于) China.
Tai Shan should have been returned to China when he was 2. But China gave him two extensions (延期) to stay at the National Zoo. Tai is old enough to breed (繁殖). So it?s time for him to come back to China and join a program to try to increase the panda population.
The National Zoo has tried to breed Mei Xiang a few times since Tai Shan was born, without success. Montfort said the zoo would try again soon in the hope of producing another baby panda. “We?re hopeful every year,” he said.Where can the passage probably be taken from?

When we talk about intelligence(智力)，we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school．By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving(表现)，especially in a new situation．If we want to test intelligence，we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do．
For example，when in a new situation，an intelligent person thinks about the situation，not about himself or what might happen to him．He tries to find out all be can，and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it．He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out，but at least he tries．And if he cannot make things work out right，he doesn’t feel ashamed(羞愧)that he failed，he just tries to learn from his mistakes．An intelligent person，even if he is very young，has a special outlook(看法)on life，a special feeling about life，and how he fits into it．
If you look at children，you’ll see great difference between what we call“bright”children and“non-bright”children．They are actually two different kinds of people，not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence．For example，the bright child really wants to find out about life-he tries to get in touch with everything around him．But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world：he seems to have a wall between him and life in general．According to this passage，intelligence is the ability to__________．
| A．get some high scores on some tests |
| B．do well in school |
| C．deal with life |
| D．have a lot of book knowledge |
In a new situation，an intelligent person________．
| A．knows more about what might happen to him |
| B．is sure of the result he will get |
| C．cares more about himself |
| D．keeps his mind on what to do about the situation |
If an intelligent person failed，he would_______．
| A．try not to feel ashamed |
| B．learn from his mistakes |
| C．try to find all he could |
| D．make sure what result he would get |
Bright children and non-bright children________．
| A．are two different types of children |
| B．are different mainly in their degree of cleverness |
| C．have difference only in their way of thinking |
| D．have different knowledge about the world |
A good way to pass an exam is to work hard every day in the year．You may fail in an exam if you are lazy for most of the year and then work hard only a few days before the exam．

Children are amazing! They pick up language so naturally and easily. Have you ever wondered why? It’s because of the way they learn.
Children learn by simply doing what comes naturally—they listen, copy, and communicate. Let’s take a closer look at how children learn language. Perhaps we can discover a better, more “natural” way to learn English.
Listen as often as possible
When people talk to children, they often use simple words that children can understand. That’s really important to the children’s language development. In order to learn, children must be able to understand what they hear. If they don’t understand it, it’s just meaningless noise.
Listen to radio or TV programs that use English at your level. If you can’t understand every word or sentence, don’t give up. Just pay attention to what you can understand. And listen as often as you can.
Be a Copycat
Children like to copy their parents, their friends and even the TV. (the, teaches, this, how, pronounce, them, language, to). As you listen to English, repeat what you hear as much as you can.
Use English to communicate
Children don’t practice grammar rules. They use language to talk about things that interest them. This helps them learn to express themselves. They don’t worry about their small vocabulary or poor grammar. They find ways to say what they want and they do it successfully.
So look for chances to talk with people in English. If you can’t find a foreigner to talk to, talk with other English students instead. Start an English discussion group and chat about music, movies and so on. Don’t worry about making mistakes. You can learn English better by correcting mistakes.

If we find a bird nest, we will have a good place of observing(观察) and knowing about birds.
Birds sit on eggs and take care of their baby birds from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nest, mothers often leave and come back to the nest during the time to look for food. So it is good to observe birds. When we observe birds, we’d better hide ourselves in a close place to the nest, and it’s better to use binoculars(双筒望远镜).
But how to make a bird nest? It’s very easy. If you want to make one, please follow these:
Making a nest: A good nest must be very fine, strong, thick and easy.
a) Each nest must have six boards. Don’t make the boards too slippery.
b) Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a door. The “door” is from 3cm to 5cm. So the bird can fly in or out easily.
c) Make sure the rainwater doesn’t go into the nest.
d) One piece of the boards should be easy to open.
e) Please don’t forget to color the nest.The most important thing in observing birds is to ______.
| A．look for a place near the nest |
| B．climb trees |
| C．write down notes every day |
| D．make a bird nest |
When we're watching birds, we have to ______.
| A．look after the birds more often |
| B．use the binoculars to catch the birds |
| C．hide ourselves to make the birds do everything as usual |
| D．catch the birds at last |
We should leave a hole in the front of the nest so that ______.
| A．we can clean the nest |
| B．the birds can fly in or out |
| C．we can hang it easily |
| D．it’s easy to make |
Animals, including insects, don't have a "language" like ours. They do not "talk" to each other in words and sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have their ways of communicating with each other.
Can you see the rabbit's tail? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they run away. They know that they are in danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a signal.
Many other animals use this kind of "language". When a cobra is angry, it raises its head and makes itself look fierce. This warns other animals. When a bee has found food, it goes back to its home. It cannot "tell" the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance. This tells the bees where the food is.
Some animals "say" things by making sound. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs when it is pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make sound like "Oh" or "Ah" when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes.
| A．warn other rabbits when they are in danger |
| B．tell other rabbits where food is |
| C．make itself look fierce |
| D．help it to run fast |
| A．makes a loud noise | B．raises its head |
| C．moves up and down | D．does a little dance |
| A．rabbit | B．bee | C．bird | D．fish |
| A．all living things | B．all animals |
| C．some birds | D．human beings |
The engineer Camillo Oliver was 40 years old when he started the company in 1908. At his factory in Ivrea, he designed and produced the first Italian typewriter(打字机). Today the company's head office is still in Ivrea, near Turin, but the company is much larger than it was in those days and there are offices all around the world.
By 1930 the company had 700 workers and it turned out 13,000 machines a year. Some went to offices and homes in Italy, but more typewriters were sold to other countries.
Camillo's son, Adriano, started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the boss. The production(生产) line was improved a lot and some top engineers in technology and design fields worked for him. The company developed new and better typewriters. More and more people became interested in their products. In 1959 it produced the ELEA computer system. This was the first mainframe(主机) computer designed and made in Italy.
After Adriano died in 1960, the company had a period of financial(财政) problems. Other companies, especially the Japanese, made faster progress in electronic technology than the Italian company.
In 1978, Carlo de Benedetti became the new boss. Olivetti increased its marketing and service networks and made agreements with other companies to design and produce better office equipment(设备). Soon it became one of the world's leading companies in information technology and communications. There are now five companies in the Olivetti group---one for personal computers, one for other office equipment, one for systems and services, and two for telecommunications.What fact does the passage provide?

| A．produced the best typewriter in the world. |
| B．designed the world's first mainframe computer. |
| C．sold more typewriters abroad than other companies. |
| D．has five companies with its head office in Ivrea. |
