At present, more and more people like travelling. They travel to see more of the world. They can also go shopping, meet people from other countries, and learn about their cultures as well as customs.
According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), 1.138 billion people travelled to other countries in 2014. In 2014, Chinese people travelled abroad 11.2% more than 2013. The growing of tourism can benefit (使……受益) not only China but also other countries.
Chinese people usually join large tourist groups and visit several countries in one trip. They don’t just travel for sightseeing. They like shopping and spend much money while travelling, especially during festivals. Europe and the United States are popular places among Chinese travelers.
In December, China is the cold winter. Many people like to go to some countries in Southeast Asia because the weather there is quite pleasant.
Now more and more Chinese can travel abroad. But some of them don’t have a good sense of public manners. A western report in 2012 said Chinese were the world’s second worst tourists. Even now the world still doesn’t like Chinese tourists.
If we Chinese want to have a change, remember not to do these: throwing rubbish everywhere, talking loudly, smoking in non-smoking areas, spitting, line-jumping, taking off shoes in public, snatching bus seats… Besides, we should learn some necessary manners of foreign countries.

Reading Oliver James'Affluenza, I thought about what often happens at home. My 12-year-old daughter is in tears."I have so take a test tomorrow. I don't understand any of it," she cries out. After shouting and shutting her door, she calms down enough to go through her notes. The following dry I ask her how the test went and the just says "OK,I got a nine".
"Wow. well done!" I say, before she finishes with "But I never get a ten!"
According to James, this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development, which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money. To test this, I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests. She looked at me as if I was thick. "Well, if I don't get good grades, I won't be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff."
I was quite surprised, because I don't consider myself a pushy parent. But James suggests and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright. He points to the Danish system（体制）of education as a better model. Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business.
For me, I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle, recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules, yet I have lived a happy life. What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations, or how to avoid getting into debt or how to develop good personality.
This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind. And he is looking for schools where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests, something more like Tongjon. Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools. It is quite different from the more rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea, and indeed in many other school systems around the world.
As the Russian poet Pushkin said," Inspiration(灵感）is needed in geometry(几何学）just as much as in poetry ",and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried about them .
What does the writer probably think of his/her daughter?

A．She sets herself a goal too high to reach.

B．She should be more polite to her parents.

C．She is hard-working but not very bright.

D．She takes her grades much too seriously.

What does the word "obsession"in paragraph 3 mean?

A．A plain and unavoidable fact.

B．A satisfied and very proud state.

C．A practical and widely-used way.

D．A fixed and often unreasonable idea.

What can we infer from the passage?

A．Social skills are as important as high grades.

B．Interest in grades can shake self-confidence.

C．The writer regrets not having studied hard at school.

D．Danish educational system is for very smart students.

The writer wants to tell us that____.

A．learning happily is the key to self-development.

B．top marks may be helpful to increase one's interest.

C．tests should be improved to give children inspiration.

D．education should meet one's needs for word and money.

Like stress, burnout (筋疲力尽) has also become a favourite subject of everyday conversation(对话). Many of us may feel “burn out” at times in our lives. It can be prevented, however, if you take action before you are in danger.
First, you must decide what is really important in your life. Make time for the people and the activities that are the most meaningful to you.
Second, you need to share your stories and feelings with others. Talk about your disappointments(失望), sadness, and painful(痛苦的) experiences, as well as your joys and successes. If you do not do this normally, you could “explode”. That will be worse for you. Good, healthy relationships with others will make you stronger and bring a greater balance to your life.
Third, make sure you have time off. Take short breaks as well as long holidays whether you feel you need them or not. Learn how to say “no” so that you can say “yes” to the things that are really important to you. Find activities to cheer you up, such as listening to music, dancing, playing sports, or watching movies. You should also make some time to be alone.
Finally, find a good doctor, like a psychologist, if you need help and all else has failed. There is no shame(羞耻) in this. Don’t worry a lot. It may bring your spirit back and make you feel more powerful.
When you feel burnout, you should_________.

A．watch movies	B．see a doctor
C．take some useful actions	D．play sports

MSG (monosodium glutamate) is a food additive (食品添加剂), which has been widely used by many food factories all over the world since it appeared first in Japan in 1909.
MSG is a substance that is added to some food to improve its original (原先的) taste and colour. It is used in foods around the world such as cakes, bread, frozen meats, fish and vegetables. In the beginning, people thought MSG was safe just like salt and sugar. However, in 1968 some people reported they seemed to have bad reactions (反应) to MSG after having had a meal at a restaurant. They included headaches and quick heartbeat (心跳). It was also reported that MSG excited a person's brain and caused his death in Japan. Scientists think that MSG may lead to many neurological disorders (神经紊乱). In mice studies done by a university, the evidence showed the mice didn’t want to eat the food including MSG.
Today many food companies “hide” MSG on food labels (标签) by using different names. If you see “natural flavorings”, “hydrolyzed protein” and “spices” in a food label, you are probably seeing a hidden way to “report” MSG in a food label. Every time we have a meal in a restaurant, we always feel the food very delicious to taste, but sometimes it is dangerous for our health because some poisonous food additives have been added to the food.
To protect people’s health, our governments, from central to local, are taking actions to stop factories producing poisonous food additives.

A．a food	B．an additive

Robots have come a long way since 15th century. We’ve got robots to build cars, carry heavy things, work in dangerous places and explore planets. But things haven’t stopped there.
In 1986, Honda made a robot called ASIMO. And now, it has been developed greatly. Standing at 130cm and weighing 54kg. ASIMO is very much like a small astronaut wearing a bag on the back. And he can walk, flight, climb and run fast. Isn’t it wonderful?
The world’s first robot teacher is Saya. With her human-like face, she can show expressions like happiness, surprise, sadness, dislike, fear and she can even smile or show anger at students, which look much like a real teacher’s. To do this, her rubber skin is pulled from the back with motors inside. And her eyes and mouth have wires(电线) too. She can also say some simple words like “hello” or “thank you”.
In the UK, the development of robots is exciting. The mini-robots will send food, clean floors, collect and throw away waste. These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way.
These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection(传染). Usually clean and dirty work is done by the same person, but here, you’ll have robots that do”dirty work”, like collecting dirty sheets, or taking away hospital waste； and you’ll have robots that do”clean work”, like bringing meals or clean sheets to patients. The robots have separate work so there’s no way for infection, which is great. But of course, robots would not take the piece of humans, but would free up more time for nurses to be with patients.
But if this is what it’s like in 2011, what’s it going to be like to 2021?
In the following, which is ASIMO’s behavior?

A．Smiling at people, saying “hello”.

B．Sending food or opening doors by himself

C．Fighting, climbing or running fast

D．Collecting waste for patients

What makes Saya look real?

A．Her face and rich expressions	B．Her clothes and shoes
C．Her walking and running speed	D．Her rich knowledge

Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Robots have come a long way since 1986.

B．The first robot teacher was made by Honda.

C．Saya looks like a small astronaut.

D．If anyone or anything is in the way, mini-robots will stop.

The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that _______.

A．nurses would have more free time with patients

B．robots would not take the place of humans

C．dirty and clean work is always done by the same person

D．mini-robots are useful for controlling infection

Mr father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and announced(宣布): “Get up， you’re going with me to cut the grass in the garden.”
The idea that my father thought I was old enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and excited. From sunup to sundown， my father， my younger brother and I worked in the large garden. By the end of the day I was too tired to say a word but I felt good. This was my first time to help my father in his business. I got $ 6 for my work that day.
One day my father found some leaves I had missed and pulled me aside. “Take away these leaves!” he said， “and don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I value(珍视) the importance of doing a job well the first time. It will never fail to impress(给……留下印象) the person you are working for.
After two years， my father told me and my brother that he felt we were old enough to cut the grass by ourselves. Every Saturday during my last two years of high school， we set off early in the morning with the same strong wish we had gained while working under our father.
Looking after the garden was neither exciting nor high paying， but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job was a good job and that whatever I was paid was more than I had before.
A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay. “If you’re only thinking about hard work and money， you probably don’t want to do any better than you are doing.” I answered. In every job， from cutting the grass to washing dishes， I’ve learned much. I’ve learned something that helps me in my next job.
If you work hard enough， you can learn from any job you do.
The writer felt proud and cited when he was asked to cut the grass because he thought __________.

A．he could cut the grass himself

B．he could make much money

C．he could enjoy sunup and sundown

D．he could help his family
