Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure Riding the train can be a real adventure. That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak. I often take a four-hour trip to visit my children. Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.
Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride, there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation — in another language. It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train. I think it was annoying.
Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two-day trip by train. She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home, although she had no trouble driving. The train ride was the only choice for her. She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.
She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents. That is a very good question. Both of us are old and have children. She asked that same question from time to time.
There are always many people on the train from all walks of life, different countries, and many languages. Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures. If you get hungry, you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.
It sure beats driving the car, which has to stop for food and restrooms. And it is better than taking the bus.
24. According to the passage, the purpose of the author's train ride was .
A. to do business B. to see her children
C. to visit places of interest D. to see her old friends
25. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 3
A. Disappointed. B. Satisfied. C. Worried. D. Pleased.
26. In the author's opinion, on the train Amtrak .
A. the services are quite good B. the food is terribly expensive
C. all the passengers are polite D. all the passengers are American
27. What is the best title for this passage
A. A wonderful lady B. The history of Amtrak
C. A painful experience on the train D. Train ride—a cultural experience

My friend John lived with his parents. They lived in a small town not far from London. Both his parents were over seventy years old.
One day, we drank in a bar with some other friends. It was dark but none wanted to leave. We hadn’t been together for a long time. We talked and laughed. It seemed that all of us forgot the time. But suddenly John got up and went outside. “Where are you going ” I followed him. “I just want to make a call with my parents. It’s late. I want to tell them not to wait for me.”
I noticed that he dialed(拨号码) the phone number twice as he called his parents. When he dialed the first time, he hung up after three rings. And then he dialed a second time and began to talk.
“Was the line busy the first time ” I asked
“NO.”
“Then I can’t understand why you dialed the phone twice.”
My friend smiled. He told me,“When I call my parents, they are so eager(渴望的) to talk to me that they run for the phone. Once, in order to answer my phone call, my mother fell down and hit her little toe against the table leg. She couldn’t walk for days. After that, I made an agreement with them: Don’t run to answer the phone. I call first and let the phone ring three times to give them the time to prepare.”
After listening to him, my heart felt full. We often show how we care for our parents with gifts and cards, but aren’t the everyday gifts doing from the little things and telling of our love

We spend around one third of our lives in bed, and the body does a lot of its repair work as we sleep, so enough good quality sleep is very important to our health. It doesn't stop there, though—some sleep positions are healthier than others. So which sleep position is the healthiest
Sleeping on your back is the healthiest sleep position, Health benefits include avoiding back and neck pain. Because the head is raised above the stomach when you sleep on your back, this position is best for people who suffer from nighttime acid reflux (胃酸逆流) as well. Around 80% of heartburn sufferers have problems during the night, so sleeping on their back could help a lot of people to enjoy a good night's sleep. If the sleep position alone is not enough to alleviate the condition, try raising the head of the bed by up to 4 inches by placing blocks under it.
When you sleep on your back, your face is in a natural position. This means less wrinkles (皱纹).
If you really can't face sleeping on your back, another healthy sleep position is the side sleep. It's almost as good as the back position, and it's better for people who snore (打鼾) and their partners. Whichever sleep position you choose, use a pillow that supports the head and the neck without raising the head unnaturally, as this can bring neck pain.
32. Which is NOT one of the benefits of sleeping on the back
A. It can avoid acid reflux. B. It makes people look younger.
C. It's good for heartburn sufferers. D. It helps people get rid of stomach pain.
33. Which is the best sleep position for people who snore
A. Sleep on the face. B. Sleep on the side.
C. Sleep on the back. D. Sleep without pillows.
34. The underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. make it less serious B. make people forget
C. make it less useful D. make people enjoy
35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Ways to keep us healthy. B. The importance of sleep.
C. Sleep's repairing functions. D. Healthy positions of sleep.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Sometimes, the stress, fear and grief feelings can overwhelm(压倒) us. It’s fortunate that self-care is more widespread for people of any age to use. It is used to describe guidance on what people can do to get healthy. 36. .
Settle your mind.

The positive effect of meditation on anxiety, depression, focus and even physical pain has been so well-established that it is now used in schools, on sports teams and in corporate offices.

It helps protect against mood disorders like depression.

A MOTHER'S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother's Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 am. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared.

Dear James,
I'm so glad that your are interested in Chinese culture. It's my privilege to introduce Chinese 24 solar terms to you.
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar cycles, instructing the farmers to carry out certain agriculture activities during certain periods of the year. The first of them is Beginning of Spring, which lifts the curtain of spring. After spring sets in, everything comes back to life and is full of vigour. Many of the solar terms have become associated with Chinese customs over the centuries. Beginning of spring is no exception. In many parts of China, people observe the custom of “biting the spring” by eating spring pancakes or spring rolls. Legend has it that the egg can be set upright on the first day of Beginning of Spring. It is believed that whoever can make the egg stand on that day will have good luck in the year to come.

As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. Seeing the mess, their father froze with shock, as if rooted on the ground. But soon he realized their intention. In consequence, he joined the twins in preparing the Mother’s Day surprise. Though he had never been seen cooking, actually, he was expert in doing so. The twins assisted their father with the breakfast with great curiosity, and it was a pleasure to team up with their father. Eventually, they could smell how good the dishes were.
The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. They said “Happy Mother’s Day”, with their eyes twinkling with excitement. Their father laughed heartily and told her the twins had prepared breakfast for her. Then the twins whispered to her that they loved her so much and they were eager to see her smile every day. Hearing the words, so glad was she that her face beamed and his bright smile lit up the room. At that moment, they all sensed how beautiful something living could be. What a sweet surprise!
续写下水文2：
As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. Seeing the the black bread and the spilled porridge, Dad suddenly figured out their secret. A smile of understanding flashed across his face. Without a second thought, Dad offered to help. A ripple of excitement ran through them. They helped clean the kitchen while their father cooked a sandwich and some porridge skillfully. Soon, the delicious smell of breakfast filled the kitchen. Dad hinted to show that it was a secret and went back to the bedroom, asking the twins to go on to carry out their great plan.
The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. They yelled “Happy Mother’s Day, darling Mummy! A big surprise for you!” When she saw the breakfast, her eyes widened up and twinkled with excitement. Dad was pretending to be surprised to see such delicious food. Mother hugged the twins and showed her thanks. She tasted and praised that it was the best breakfast she had ever had. The twins smiled to their father secretly. A feeling of love filled the whole room. What a beautiful surprise!
续写下水文3：
As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared.“Don’t panic!” he handed each one a wet towel, helping them clean the mess quickly. After that, Jeff stammered out their plan, his face flushing. However, Father laughed, “Sounds great! I can teach you to cook.” At this, Jenna and Jef almost jumped to their feet, joy in eyes. Under his careful guidance, it didn’t take long before the French toast and chicken porridge were ready. Everything settled, Father left the kitchen, promising to keep their secret.
The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up.
Meeting their smiling eyes, Mother felt confused until they presented the breakfast and said “Happy Mother’s Day”. Mother gave them a tight hug, “Unbelievable! You can cook! It’s the biggest surprise I have received.” Her face lit up with happiness. “They have known how to take care of others.” Father said in response to her excitement, winking at Jenna and Jef. They couldn’t help giggling. It was a secret only shared between them.

W: Tomorrow I have an appointment with my dentist. What about next Monday
M: Perfect. I’ll try to arrange my work so that I can have a couple of days off next week. If we’re going to drive, I’ll need to fill up the tank.

M: We can take the train. It will be faster. I’ll book the tickets tomorrow afternoon.

This is my fifth day at the summer camp. Life isn’t exactly what I expected. We have to get up early to make our beds before our teacher comes to inspect. After breakfast, we have some free time. Yesterday morning I went down to the nearby stream to fish, but the only thing I caught was a tree branch. Great catch, huh In the afternoon, there are different activities like horseback riding and hiking. They’re fun, but nothing new for me.
