They enjoy sending messages by their mobile phones and they also like swimming, listening to the latest music, watching TV and surfing the Internet. How do teenagers in England spend their free time and holidays? Let’s follow Sally, a British teenager, and spend five days with her during her school holiday. Day One After breakfast, Sally’s mother went out and left her alone at home. She checked her mobile phone during lunch—one of her friends sent her a message early in the morning. Dinner was at 6:30 p. m. After that, she finished her English homework. Then she surfed the Internet. Day Two Sally and her mother paid a visit to their friends and went swimming together. Later, they went shopping for clothes and books, and had dinner in a restaurant. Day Three （北京）股份有限公司 She went to the supermarket with her mother to buy fish and chips for lunch as well as some pens. After she got back home, she spent the next few hours surfing the Internet and watching TV . Day Four She surfed the Internet. Her mother took her out for lunch before she went to work. She then read stories after lunch. Day Five She woke up at 2 p. m., and so did her mother. They went to a park. Her mother met some friends there. When they got home, it was already time for dinner. Afterwards, she did her homework until 10 p. m. 1. When did Sally do her homework? A. In the morning. B. In the afternoon. C. At lunch time. D. In the evening. 2. Sally and her mother went shopping for the second time to buy ___________. A. food for lunch and pens B. some books and pens C. some fish and clothes D. food and books 3. According to the passage, it can be inferred that ___________. A. surfing the Internet has become an important part of teenagers’ lives B. parents shouldn’t leave teenagers alone at home C. teenagers don’t usually do their homework during their school holidays D. a park is the best place to meet a friend B I had heard about VR ( 虚拟现实) being used in the classroom but didn't think I'd ever try it. I actually got a VR headset ( 耳机) as a New Year present from my friend and started searching for apps online to see whether it could be useful in my classroom. I soon found a free app through Google Cardboard and knew I had a lesson! To use VR in the classroom, you need two things: a smartphone that can download the app or video, and a headset. To find the actual videos we'd be watching, I searched through free VR apps like Orbulus, Trench Experience VR and Cardboard. I also found hundreds of videos on YouTube. The key is to find videos made with the 360 cameras. While they don't give the kids a 3-D experience like the apps, they are still amazingly immersive ( 沉浸式虚拟现实的) when viewed through the headsets. So far we've had three lessons. I first used the headsets with my seventh grade U. S. History class. The Trench app allows students to “walk” through a trench ( 战壕) during World War I and learn about many of the tools used during that time. My second activity was working with the sixth grade Geography class. They used the headsets strictly as viewers to watch a 360 （北京）股份有限公司 video taking them through a rocky landscape. My final activity was the most interesting one, according to the reactions ( 反应) of my eighth grade Civics students. I was able to find a White House 360 tour that was made a few years ago. For the rest of this year, I plan to continue using apps and 360 videos in my classes. Next year I'm going to write to my boss asking for a 360 video camera so that I can begin to create my own VR field trips for the students. 4. When did the author get the idea of trying VR in her classroom? A. When she was searching for apps online. B. After she received a VR headset as a gift. C.

C. The videos. D. The headsets. 6. Which VR lesson was the most popular one among students? A. The Civics lesson. B. The Science lesson. C. The Geography lesson. D. The U.S. History lesson. 7. What will the author do next year? A. Buy a 360 video camera. B. Create 360 videos by herself. C. Take her students on more field trips. D. Try new teaching methods in her classes. C Your chair is your enemy. It doesn’t matter if you go running every morning, or you’re a regular at the gym. If you spend most of the rest of the day sitting, you are putting yourself at increased chance of heart disease, cancers and an early death. In other words, even if you exercise energetically, sitting for long periods is bad for you. So what’s wrong with sitting? One is that sitting is one of the most passive things you can do. You burn more energy by chewing gum than you do sitting still in a chair. Compared to sitting, standing in one place is hard work. To stand, you have to tense your leg muscles, and the muscles of your back and shoulders. While standing, you often change from leg to leg. All of this burns energy. For many people, weight gain is a matter of slow increase. Thus, a little more time on your feet today and tomorrow can easily make the difference between remaining thin and getting fat. So part of the problem with sitting a lot is that you don’t use as much energy as those who spend more time on their feet. This makes it easier to gain weight, and makes you more likely to suffer from the health problems that fatness often brings. Some people have advanced solutions:replace your sit-down desk with a stand-up desk. Make sure that your television can only operate if you are （北京）股份有限公司 practising on an exercise bike. Replace your office chair with a therapy (治疗) ball: this too uses more muscles, and more energy, than a normal chair, because you have to support your back and work to keep balanced. But whatever you choose, know this. It is clear: be careful of your chair. 8. The main purpose of writing this passage is to ___________. A. suggest sitting less B. advise exercising often C. avoid gaining weight D. escape standing more 9. From this passage, we know that ___________. A. standing burns nearly as much energy as sitting still does B. taking exercise regularly but sitting more will do good C. less exercise will reduce the chance of having disease D. energy-burning activities will help you enjoy good health 10. The underlined word “This” in paragraph 4 refers to “ ___________”. A. Gaining weight B. Burning energy C. Sitting too much D. Standing more 11. A therapy ball is mentioned in the last paragraph to ___________. A. tell us to walk while working in the office B. suggest a way to settle the sitting problem C. support our back and keep us balanced D. provide a better cure for our backache D People speak English in different parts of the world. The same words can be used in different ways, depending on where you live. People can also have completely different ways of saying the same thing. The Oxford English Dictionary(OED) is asking the public to help it add new words. Editors want to find the regional differences in English around the world. They want to expand its record of the language. Last year, the OED, BBC Radio and the Forward Arts Foundation teamed up to find local words in the United Kingdom. It resulted in more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary. One was “cuddy wifter”, which means “a left-handed person”. Now, the OED is widening its search to Englis
