If you are planning on traveling，there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.

First of all，always check and doublecheck departure (出发) time.It is surprising how few people really do this carefully.Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten.My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50.When I arrived at the airport，the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed.Therefore，I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards (信用卡)，it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金).Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed.The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars，I offered to pay in pounds instead.“Listen！I only take real money！”the driver said angrily.You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment.
The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave.I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May，when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester，to places like Athens，Rome or Madrid，where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
【1】Where is the writer most probably from？

A.asked the driver to give him a free ride
B.offered to pay in pounds
C.gave the driver some fake (假的) money
D.tried to pay by credit card
【3】Generally，in May the weather in London is ______________.
A.warm and dry B.cold and dry
C.hot and wet D.cool and rainy
【4】The writer mainly tells us ______________.

When leaving school, I was pleased that my exam results meant that I could study engineering at university. But I also wanted to travel before starting my course. A friend of mine told me about the Schools Exploring Society, an organization which helps students take a gap year （a year between leaving school and going to college）. It has three foreign journeys a year, taking 16-20-year-olds on science and nature trips. I love being outdoors, and a mountaineering trip to Alaska was on offer. So I signed up immediately.
There was one problem, though. I had to raise a large amount of money for the trip. It was a big task, but I managed to make it. I washed cars, worked in a cafe and also sold off some of my old books, clothes and CDs. Then, just before starting out, I started worrying. Can I do this? Am I fit enough? What if I see a bear?
Seventy of us traveled to Alaska. The first two days after arrival were spent in a school hall preparing our equipment and five tons of food. Then we left for the beautiful Talkeetna Mountain. On the trip we dug paths and recognized plant species. Then we climbed a mountain that was over 6,000 feet high. It was tiring but exciting.
Looking back, a gap year was so right for me. I learned a lot about accepting other people for what they are. We had to help each other and it made me less selfish. My gap year has also made me more able to concentrate. Now, whenever Tm worried about anything, I think I did Alaska-I can do this!

A.hadn’t taken foreign trips before
B.made the trip together with his friends

D.helped him know more about himself
【4】What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?

D.To encourage students to do part-time work.

When you go on a trip to America, you will see the word Motel on signs and notice boards. It is made up of “motor” and “hotel” and it is really a hotel for people who arrive by car (however, you don’t need a car to stay at one). You have to pay when you arrive for your room, which usually has a bath. Meals are not provided but there will certainly be a cafeteria. Americans eat a lot of salads and sandwiches. Along the main roads there are a lot of motels. Each tries to offer more than the others. Some provide television in every bedroom; others have swimming pools and so on. Motels are especially useful when you are in the country, far from a town or city. You will also find them in big national parks.
In these great national parks, you may meet guests you don't expect to see. An American friend told me a short story. In the middle of a moonless night，she heard strange noises outside her motel window in the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Thinking it might be a thief, she jumped out of bed, opened the door and crept towards a dark shadow. As she got close, she saw the thief. She was dreadfully frightened: it wasn’t a human thief-it was a big black bear. The bear was turning over some empty tins with its paws, looking for tasty bits of food. My friend decided to leave that particular thief alone!
There are also, of course, places called “rooming houses”, where they provide lodges（客房).You will see such signs as Tourists or Rooms Rent, and you could try one of these. A word of warning-looking for a room in New York during the tourist season is like looking for gold on the moon!
【1】Motels provide all the following EXCEPT .
A.bath B.TV C.meals D.swimming pools
【2】The underlined word “crept” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.
A.moved slowly B.rushed out C.threw away D.ran fast
【3】From the last paragraph , we can learn that in New York during the tourist season .
A.tourists can find gold there
B.it is difficult to find a room there
C.tourists can have a sweet dream there
D.there is a warning for tourists to New York

As summer approaches, many kids and teenagers may find that they have more time in hand. One great way to make use of the extra time is to go on an adventure and travel. Clearly, I am not a naturally adventurous person, but I have found that taking risks and challenging myself to explore and travel to unfamiliar places can be a very rewarding experience.
Because I am usually quite busy during the school year, most of my travels take place during the summer. Over the past few summers, I have hiked in the Grand Canyon, explored Niagara Falls, and camped out in the countryside of New York. Although these experiences are varied, they are similar in that they instill a sense of appreciation for nature and a more balanced view on life. When I hiked in the Grand Canyon, for example, I was in awe of the geological process that shaped the canyon.
Adventures, of course, are not limited to hiking. There are many other choices, such as camping, volunteering in a foreign environment and travelling to different countries. In my opinion, adventures are more enjoyable with family or a few friends. There is a sense of bonding that one only gets through spending time together in outdoor adventures. For example, when I was in Boy Scouts, I often went on weekend camping trips with my friends. When I came back from a Boy Scouts camping trip, I often was eager to go outside more and explore the parks and nature around me.
Next fall, I will attend college. In the meantime, though, I hope to make the most of my summer to explore and travel. Now, I am planning on hiking and camping out in Maine. When I visited Maine last fall, I was amazed by how beautiful it was, and I really hope to enjoy the beauty of nature.
【1】We can learn from the first paragraph that the writer .
A.likes travelling with his father
B.can’t take good care of himself
C.has never been to unfamiliar places
D.likes challenging himself by travelling
【2】Which of the following can make your adventure more enjoyable according to the author?
A.Exploring the parks.
B.Going to different countries.
C.Going on weekend camping trips.
D.Travelling with your parents or friends.
【3】In the coming summer, the writer will .
A.go to college
B.visit close friends
C.go on an adventure
D.camp out in upstate New York again
【4】The writer probably is .
A.a friendly guide
B.a college student
C.a warm-hearted teacher
D.a school student

After spending a term in Spain, I have been trying to work out which common impressions on Spain have some truth in them and which don't.【1】
Spain is always warm and sunny. This is not true. The city I stayed in, which is in central Spain, often becomes colder than London in winter. However, the city receives little rain all year round and gets very hot in summer.【2】In Andalusia of southern Spain, for example, temperature can be cool but pleasant in winter, but becomes very high in summer.
The Spanish love to have fun.【3】The Spanish people I meet tend to be very warm and open. Spaniards love to celebrate life through different festivals throughout the year. As well as religious festivals, they celebrate others such as La Tomatina, a festival in Valencia where people throw tomatoes at each other.
【4】This is true. Both locals and tourists enjoy watching Flamenco shows just as much, especially in Andalusia. It is also possible to see them in Madrid and Barcelona, but they tend to be more for tourists. I recommend seeing a Flamenco show in Cadiz or Jerez de la Frontera. The flamenco in Cadiz takes on a more cheerful style. Maybe this is because the people of Cadiz live by the sea and have access to beautiful sandy beaches.
Spain is a fascinating country, in which you are sure to have lots of fun. I find that a lot of the common impressions on Spain hold some truth.【5】Spanish culture is very complex and the traditions and culture, as well as food and weather, can vary between regions.
A.Spain is famous for its Flamenco.
B.Here’s what I have discovered so far.
C.But the country is not limited to them.
D.I have seen a lot of evidence that this is true.
E.The following are correct impressions on Spain.
F.Southern Spain tends to be warmer than northern Spain.
G.Northern Spain is colder in summer and also colder in winter.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Your attitude plays a big part in your everyday life and can influence how your life may turn out in the future. If you have a good attitude, you’ll be the kind of person who works hard and you'll live the kind of life many would admire. Here are some tips which can help you improve your attitude.
Spend time with those who share your positive attitude. This is a must if you want to improve your attitude. The people you surround yourself with most of the time will reflect upon your life. So always make sure that these people share your positive attitude and lift you.
When you take action, always take steps to act with a purpose, to that your actions are in line with your values. For example, Walt Disney’s main purpose is to “make people happy”. So next time you act, think of your purpose and improve your attitude while doing so!
Being polite when given help or asking for it isn’t a hard thing, yet so often we forget these simple words, especially with those closest to us. If you want to improve your attitude, use “please” and “thank you” every time you’re given the opportunity.
If you want to improve your attitude to life and to those around you, stop comparing yourself with others. It's human to compare our lives with others', but when we do it too often we can drag(拖)ourselves down. So spare yourself the worry and stop comparing; only focus(集中)on your own life and you’ll be much happier in the process.
Gratefulness is one of the most powerful attitudes in your life. If you want a better life, give thanks for all that you have each and every day. Gradually, you'll receive more things to be thankful for!
So how’s your attitude today? Does it need a little fine tuning?
