Traveling can be a fun way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break—a weeklong school vacation in the United States.
But what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry.
Here are some useful tips.
—Save: This probably is the most important preparation for traveling. Cut expenses(开支) to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.
—Plan ahead: Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全)and savings .
—Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.
—Plan sensibly(明智地): Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.
—Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.
—Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.
—Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a less-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.
—Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes: Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you can’t find a cheap restaurant.
—Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www.Travelocity. com, www.bargains-lowest fare. com and www.Economy travel. com.
By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.

You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing(令人沮丧的) tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communicating with negative(消极的) people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive(积极的) people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger(匕首)of a negative person is put in you. You feel the heavy feeling that, all in all, brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to a negative person, but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着)you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.
【1】How can negative people have effect on us?
A.By telling US the nature of life. B.By influencing our emotion.
C.By comparing their attitude to life with ours. D.By changing our way of thinking.

A.to change negative people’s attitude to life
B.to show our dissatisfaction to negative people
C.to communicate with negative people as little as possible
D.to make negative people feel ashamed of themselves
【4】What can we learn about negativity?
A.Its effect can be completely avoided.
B.Its effect can last.
C.It hardly happens among family members.
D.Its effect is smaller than the effect created by a positive person.

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
【1】According to the passage ________.
A.boxing rings should be round B.pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
C.there should be egg in an eggplant D.sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things
【2】Which of the following is the correct plural (复数形式) form?
A.Beeth. B.Meese. C.Geese. D.Tooth.
【3】Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A.Quite a lot and quite a few. B.Overlook and oversee.
C.A wise man and a wise guy. D.Hot as hell and cold as hell.
【4】Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ________.
A.lazy B.crazy C.clever D.stupid

With more and more cars on the road, traffic jams are inevitable. Traffic jams can lead to increased accidents as there are more cars, with more people trying to get to their destination, all the while getting worse. Although it’s impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether, there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road.
Check for traffic jams before you leave. You can listen to the radio for traffic news, or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic. If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic, you can choose another.
Look for a different route all the time. Most traffic jams happen on busy roads. Using country roads could see you avoiding a lot of traffic. Although the distance you may have to travel is further, it can work out quicker.
Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins. Many new car stereo systems (汽车音响系统) are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel. This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary.
Most traffic jams usually occur during rush hour, so try to avoid this time period if possible. Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour. Some jobs even allow you to work at home so as to avoid moving altogether. Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you.
Use public transp ort alternatives where available. The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car. Not only will you avoid traffic jams but you will most likely be saving money as the cost of motoring rises.
【1】The underlined word “inevitable” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A.hard to accept B.impossible to avoid
C.getting less serious D.seen everywhere
【2】The author wrote the text in order to ________.
A.explain why there are traffic jams B.tell us how to save time on the road
C.tell us what we can do on the road D.tell us the negative effects of traffic jams
【3】To get the latest traffic information, you could do the following EXCEPT ________.
A.surfing the Internet B.listening to the radio for traffic news
C.listening to the traffic channel D.turning to other drivers for information
【4】According to the author, we should use public transport because ________ .
A.it is cheaper and can avoid traffic jams B.it is useful to us
C.it is environmentally-friendly D.it is completely free from traffic jams

Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?
The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (灾祸).
People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.
Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.
Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.
The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.
