Here are some music festivals that you might be interested in.
Boogie
Tallarook, VIC(26-28 March)
Boogie is definitely kid-friendly, but with a few rules. Kids are welcome, but need to be fully supervised(监管) at all times and out of the licensed area by 10 pm. Kids under 8 years old are admitted for free. Kids between 8 and16 get in cheaper. There are some activities for kids and a great kid-friendly area.
Splendour in the Grass
Byron Bay, NSW(24-26 July)
Look, Splendour can be pretty crazy, so if you and your kids are out of practice with handling festivals and the stress they can sometimes bring, maybe you should try starting smaller. But if you feel like you can do it, then your kids are welcome to hit Splendour with you. The usual rules apply — you'll need to have them with you at all times if they are under 16 and they can't go into bars. If the child is under 11, then they will get in for free.
The Gum Ball
Hunter Valley, NSW(22-24 April)
We didn't originally include the Gum Ball because they took last year off and we wanted to make sure they were definitely returning. Not because we have anything against them. On the contrary, they are one event that manages to balance brilliant music and a family-friendly vibe(氛围).
Bellingen Turtlefest
Bellingen(30 September-2 October)
Great music for a great cause! Bellingen Turtlefest has been set up to raise funds and awareness for the critically endangered Bellinger River Snapping Turtle, while giving families a chance to enjoy some great music at the same time. There's a kidzone, sideshows, workshops and markets, but also an education center and some guest speakers so that the kids (and you) can learn a thing or two while you're at the event.
【1】If a 10-year-old goes to Boogie, he/she_____.
A. cannot find a great kid-friendly area there

I was quite angry with my professor last week when he gave us an assignment to “tell someone we love them”. It has to be someone we have never said those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time.
But as I began driving home my conscience started talking to me. It was telling me that I knew exactly who I needed to say I love you to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had a disagreement and really never settled it since that time. We avoided seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings.
So last Tuesday by the time I got home I had convinced myself I was going to tell my father I loved him. The next morning I was up bright and early. I could hardly sleep with excitement, nor did my wife.
At 9:00, I called my dad to see if I could come over after work. When he answered the phone, I just said, “Dad, can I come over after work tonight? I have something to tell you.” My dad responded with a grumpy face, “Now what?” I assured him it wouldn’t take long, so he finally agreed.
At 5:30, I was at my parents’ house ringing the doorbell, praying that Dad would answer the door. Dad did answer the door. I didn’t waste any time and took one step in the door and said, “Dad, I just came over to tell you that I love you.” His face softened and he began to cry. He reached out and hugged me and said, “I love you too, son.” Mom walked by with tears in her eyes.
Two days after that visit, my dad became unconscious. I don’t know if he’ll make it. What if I had waited to tell my dad? Maybe I will never get the chance again!
【1】What problem did the author decide to solve?
A.His heavy office work load. B.His hardly-finished assignment.
C.His disagreement with his father. D.His unpleasant family gatherings.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “a grumpy face” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A.Soft tone. B.Bad temper.
C.Good mood. D.Great doubt.
【3】How did the father feel when the author said “I love you” to him?
A.Confused. B.Shocked.
C.Moved. D.Indifferent.
【4】Which sentence may be the best ending for the text?
A.So don’t wait to do the things that you know ought to be done.
B.So don’t believe there will be a problem without a solution.
C.So don’t complain when your teacher gives you assignments.
D.So don’t forget to visit your family even if you are very busy.

“When I grow up, I want to be a runner.” These words are spoken by thousands of Kenyan children. 50 percent of the Kenyan top runners are members of Kalenjin, one minority race of the country. They make up less than two percent of Kenya’s population. This fact has puzzled sports scientists. They have spent considerable time and effort trying to answer one question: What enables the Kalenjin people to run so fast?
Although the question seems simple, finding the answer has proven to be difficult and controversial. A team of Danish sports scientists spent 18 months and discovered the Kalenjins had remarkably slow heart rates even when running long distances. The Kalenjins live in high-elevation(高海拔) villages in the Rift Valley in western Kenya. People living at high elevations produce more red blood cells, which aid in the transport of oxygen throughout the body. Because the air is thinner and contains less oxygen at high elevations, the body produces more red blood cells. Scientists believe there is a connection between increased red blood cells and low heart rates and that both may enable high-altitude athletes to outperform those who train at low altitudes. The Danish scientists also studied the bodies of the Kalenjins and compared them to those of the Danes. They found that the Kalenjins have longer “birdlike” legs. The Kalenjins also have lower body mass indexes (a measure of body fat based on weight and height) and shorter bodies than Danish people.
As a result of the Danish study, some scientists made the conclusion that the Kalenjins possess what is called a “speed gene(基因)”. However, Kenyan runners were offended by this conclusion They credited their success to hard work and endless hours of training.
Although the controversy over the “speed gene” remains unsolved, British runner Mo Farah’s experience offers an interesting perspective on the subject. In 2005, he realized he wasn’t meeting his potential as a runner. A group of Kenyan runners were training in England then. After he accidentally observed the Kenyans’ strict training routines and dedication to their sport, Farah said it was like a switch had been turned on in his head. He began eating healthy foods, going to bed early, and training harder than he had ever trained in his life. As a result, Farah’s running career exploded. He has won seven world and Olympic titles in the 5000m and regularly beats Kenya’s top runners!
Farah’s story proves what Kenyans have known all along. Regardless of genetics, their success would not be possible without hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and mental toughness. Their “secret” is simple. Train hard, run fast, and never give up.
【1】What interested the sports scientists?
A.Kenyan sports history.
B.Kanlenjins’ running ability.
C.Kanlenjins’ training methods.
D.Kenyans’ enthusiasm for sport.
【2】According to Danish scientists, what leads to the Kanlenjins’ success?
A.Physical condition. B.Hard training.
C.Living style. D.Strong will.
【3】How did Kenyan runners think about Danish research result?
A.Convincing. B.Astonishing.
C.Unacceptable. D.Important.
【4】Why is Mo Farah’s story mentioned in the passage?
A.To show running methods count.
B.To encourage British athletes.
C.To prove effort pays off.
D.To support gene theory.

In the UK, electric and other low-emission(低排放)cars, vans, and buses could be given special green plates to encourage more people to buy such cars, and promote awareness for “clean” cars.
Strange as it may seem, there is some reason to believe that something as small as this could make a big difference. Already, similar ideas have been put into effect in Norway, Canada, Latvia, and China, and the results have been encouraging.
Elisabeth Costa, director of the Behavioural Insights Team, explains, “Simple changes based on behavioral science can have a big impact. Green plates would be more noticeable to road users, and this increased attraction can help normalise the idea of clean vehicles, highlighting(使突出)the changing social norms(规范)around vehicle ownership.”
Actually, hybrids and electric cars accounted for 5.5% of the cars sold in the UK in the first half of the year, compared to 4.2% for the same period in 2017.
However, colored plates can only go so far. At the end of the day, you need strong, concrete measures if you want to support a market like electric cars. The UK already has generous subsidies(补贴)for electric cars, but a study for the RAC Foundation found that the lack of reliable, easy-to-use charging stations is the main roadblock to people purchasing more electric cars. This was repeated by separate research from AA, the UK’s largest motorist association, which found that although 1 in 2 young drivers want electric cars, 8 out of 10 drivers feel that the lack of sufficient electrical chargers is the main reason not to buy an electric car.
Yet this all shows that more and more people are nearing a tipping point where they are willing to buy electric cars. And a small PR stunt(噱头), the “coolness factor” of the colored plates could end up making a difference. Similarly, having red plates for the more polluting cars might also play a role.
A spokesman for the Environmental Transport Association said, “While green number plates will be positive PR for low-emission car makers and early adopters of the technology alike, to be truly effective any such measures will need to at the same time shame the drivers of the most polluting vehicles.”
【1】Why does the UK give green license plates to cars?
A.To promote car sales.
B.To beautify the environment in the UK.
C.To separate “clean” cars from polluting cars.
D.To inspire people to buy low-emission vehicles.
【2】What does the underlined sentence “colored plates can only go so far” mean?
A.The results of giving colored plates are discouraging.
B.The measures of giving colored plates will be at an end.
C.Giving colored plates has a limited impact on promoting “clean” cars.
D.Giving colored plates will be replaced by strong, concrete measures.
【3】Why do most drivers choose not to buy an electric car?
A.Subsidies for electric cars are not attractive.
B.Charging stations are not readily available.
C.They aren’t fond of the green color.
D.Electric cars are unaffordable to them.
【4】What did the spokesman for the Environmental Transport Association focus on?
A.Banning people from buying polluting cars.
B.Continuing the use of green number plates.
C.Replacing green plates with red ones.
D.Shaming the drivers of polluting cars into buying “clean” cars.

Hiking or camping can be an exciting way to take in the great outdoors. But if you’re traveling in an area that you’re not very familiar with, it can often be easy to lose your way. 【1】
First, try to find a straight stick that is about 2-feet long and push it into the ground enough to make sure it stands upright. Once it’s firmly in the ground, sit beside the stick so that its tip is at your eye level. 【2】 The stick should be approximately 3-to 4-feet long so that its tip stands above the tip of the first stick. 【3】 You may need to move the sticks slightly to line up the star properly. Then give the star some time to “move”. Keep in mind that the star doesn’t actually move; the Earth rotates(旋转), which makes the star appear to have moved. The key is to be patient -- it can take anywhere from 5 minutes to a half hour for you to notice the movement. 【4】 If the star moves up, you are facing east. If it moves down, you are facing west. If it moves right, you are facing south. If it moves left, you are facing north. 【5】 For example, it might move up and to the right, which you mean that you’re facing southeast.
A. From your seated position, use the tips of both sticks to line up on a bright star in the sky.
B. Place a taller stick behind the first.
C. Wait several minutes.
D. The following way may help you find your direction in the Northern Hemisphere (半球) in case you don’t have a compass at hand.
E. The way that the star “moves” will help you figure out the direction.
F. In some cases, the star may appear to move in two directions.
G. You’ll know that you have the sticks set up properly if you draw an imaginary line between your eye, the tops of the sticks, and the star.
