Affordable Beach Vacation in Corfu Corfu, an island off the coast of Greece, offers visitors sunkissed shores with clear water and lots of beaches. Finding the Perfect Beach Our first pick is Sidari Beach. It’s a blue flag beach perfect for couples looking for a more private feel, as it’s far from bigger tourist destinations.

The weather isn’t as warm as the high seasons but it remains perfect. It is not crowded in this period, but you still need to book ahead of schedule as Corfu stays popular throughout the year. Eating Out For Less There are a lot of well-priced restaurants but street food is also a big winner. Some popular choices are Souvlakia and Pita Gyros.

As the oldest of three children, I never had any hand-me-downs to wear like other poor kids. Instead, Mom got my wardrobe (行头) from neighborhood mothers. Imagine the fun other kids had when they saw me wearing their used clothing. Perhaps my biggest challenge came from Charlie. As far as I was concerned, Charlie’s main fun was to make fun of me. During those years, I slowly learned to hate. I hated Charlie, but I also hated myself for not being able to change my situation. But situations do change. That opportunity came after high school when I joined the Navy. The Navy made me a social equal for the first time in my life, and the GI Bill gave me a college education. Hard work and a few lucky career (职业) choices finally lifted me into the middle class. I found myself living the American Dream. One beautiful summer afternoon, my friend and I celebrated Friday in Jackson’s Steak House. For the first time in almost twenty years, I saw Charlie. Not only did I see him, but he spoke to me. I could tell he didn’t recognize me, but I surely recognized my childhood tormentor (摧残者). His words were short, but I’ll never forget them. He said, “Sir, what kind of dressing would you like with your salad?” The tables had turned. Charlie was calling me “Sir.” While hundreds of improper ideas raced through my mind, I could only give a two-word reply: “Blue cheese.” As much as I wanted to taste the sweet taste of revenge (复仇), I refused to do it. I wouldn’t put another person through what I had gone through as a child. It was time to put childish things behind me and make use of the new opportunity that life had given me. I left him a good tip and I didn’t say one word about recognizing him. 【1】Where did the author usually get his clothes as a kid? A.His mum bought them for him. B.They were from other families. C.Other poor kids collected them for him. D.They were handed down by his brothers. 【2】Which word best describes the author’s childhood? A.Painful. B.Funny. C.Strange. D.Lucky. 【3】What job did Charlie probably do? A.A hairdresser. B.A waiter. C.A soldier. D.A cook. 【4】What is the best title of the passage? A.Live your own American Dream. B.Best memories in childhood. C.Don’t hate but love your enemy. D.Growing up and letting go |

When my kids, ages 11 and 8, race through the back door after school, often the first thing out of their mouths is: “Mom! Can we play Prodigy?” After a quick thinking of how much screen time they’ve already had for the week and how much peace and quiet I need to finish my work, I accept. After all, Prodigy is a role-playing video game that encourages kids to practice math facts. It’s educational. Right? Though video games are increasingly making their way into classrooms, scientists say the facts are lacking (缺乏) on whether they can actually improve learning. Some of the first evidence (证据) that gaming may train the brain came from first-person shooter games. It was first found by C. Shawn Green, an undergraduate studying at the University of Rochester in New York. He gave his friends a test of visual (视觉的) attention, and their scores were amazing. He and his research adviser, Daphne Bavelier, thought there must have been a problem in the test. But when Bavelier took the test, her scores were normal. The difference was that Green’s friends had all been devoting more than 10 hours per week to Team Fortress Classic, a first-person shooter game. In other studies, researchers found that gamers who trained on Tetris were better at moving two-dimensional (空间的) shapes than those who played a control game. Students who played two hours of All You Can E. T. improved their focus-shifting skills compared with students who played a word search game. Not surprisingly, the skills that games can improve are the ones that players end up practicing over and over during the course of play. The next step is to figure out how these findings may translate to the classroom. Although this research is still developing, I’m sure about my own kids’ ever-increasing requests for screen time—especially when they beg to play games designed to help them master math. 【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A.To lead in the topic. B.To explain what Prodigy is. C.To introduce the author’s family. D.To prove the importance of video games. 【2】What does the underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refer to? A.Video games. B.Classrooms. C.Scientists. D.Facts. 【3】Who did the best in the test of visual attention? A.Mr. Green. B.Mrs. Bavelier. C.Green’s friends. D.A graduate. 【4】Why can those playing Tetris do well in turning two-dimensional shapes? A.Tetris is only a control game. B.They focus on shifting skills. C.They practise the relative skills many times. D.The skills needed are similar to those in word search games. |

Goolsbee, now a professor at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, said the rising number of Americans out of work forever paints a troubling picture about the recovery (恢复). “If we are on path to only be two-thirds recovered,” Goolsbee wrote, “and then have millions of businesses closed down and the jobs there lost fast, there will be years for us to try to get back onto the path we were on before.” And those everlasting job losses will influence the economy. People out of work may cutback spending or even stop it. They are at risk of falling behind on car payments, credit card bills and bank loan (贷款). Those risks are magnified by the fact that the government has so far failed to provide additional economic recovery policies (政策) — even though the US economy is in great need of them. “Good insurance (保险) policies for people out of work have helped them pay the loan much more easily,” Principal’s Shah wrote, “but with everlasting job losses clearly rising and still no sign of an additional economic recovery package, the trouble will become more widespread and obvious.” The hope is that those recognized as jobless at present will in the end get a job somewhere else. Even though some restaurants, shops and small businesses have shut down, new companies are opening each day here and there. But there is a time limit at play because the time of continuously out of job influences the chances of getting another job. “The longer you’re out of the job market,” said PNC’s Faucher, “the more difficult it becomes to find a new one.” Many Americans who had a job loss or had a too long vacation without any payment are eagerly looking forward to another job. 【1】What does the underlined word “magnified” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Reduced. B.Enlarged. C.Avoided. D.Unchanged. 【2】What’s Shah’s attitude towards the government’s present economy policies? A.Supportive. B.Confused. C.Disappointed. D.Uninterested. 【3】What can we learn about the Americans out of work? A.Losing jobs gets them out of the job market. B.They have more opportunities to have vacations. C.They successfully get offers from new companies. D.Losing jobs for long makes it harder to find a new one. 【4】What’s the main idea of the passage? A.The jobless usually spend less. B.Insurance companies offer necessary loans. C.More job losses suggest a dark economy future. D.The economy recovery depends on the government. |
