We all have happy memories of taking a few lazy months off after the stress of A-levels. So since summer has arrived, let’s make full use. It goes without saying that summer vacations are the perfect time to go traveling.
Tickets go up greatly when you turn 26, so make full use of cheaper prices while you’re eligible.
Volunteering abroad won’t surprise future employers(老板), but it can be very useful. Finding a reliable (可靠的) company is important, as is discovering a program that interests you. There are plenty of websites where you can see other people’s suggestions.
Of course for most of us, money is tight. To avoid overspending you can combine(结合) employment（打工） and vacation. Hannah Warn, a psychology (心理学) student at the University of Winchester, is spending her summer at Camp America where students enjoy a good time on a summer camp. “Being thrown into something where I don’t really know what to expect is exciting,” she says. “It gives me a chance to experience being away from home in a different way.”
Those with a talent for languages might also consider working abroad as an au pair (互惠工人). The work may be a chance to involve yourself in a new culture while your employer pays most of the bill.
If you have an idea of the type of career you’d like, getting work experience is wise. In many careers, graduating with only your degree(学位) to show for your three or four years just won’t make it. Send applications off early and to as many places as possible. Make sure you take a well-earned break this summer.The underlined part “you’re eligible” in Para. 2 means “ ”.

Born into a farmer’s family, life was not easy when I was a kid. We were so poor that we often did not know where our next meal was coming from. I had to sell cabbages at the marketplace to support my family.
A storyteller once came to the marketplace, and I went to listen to him. My mother was unhappy with me for forgetting my job. But that night, while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp, I couldn't help retelling stories I'd heard that day. She listened impatiently at first, since in her eyes professional（职业的） storytellers were smooth-talking men—nothing good ever came out of their mouths. But slowly she was attracted by my retold stories, and from that day on, she never gave me any task on market days, unspoken agreement to enjoy new stories. As a repayment（回报）for Mother's kindness and a way to show off my memory, I'd retell the stories for her in lively detail. Soon, she wasn't the only member of my audience, which later included my elder sisters, my aunts, even my stubborn grandmother.
I knew she was worried about me. Talkative kids are not well thought of in our village, for they can bring trouble to themselves and to their families when they talk too much. Mother often reminded me not to talk so much, wanting me to be a silent and modest teenager. However, my natural desire（渴望）to talk never went away, and that is what makes my name – Mo Yan, which means ‘no speaking’. This strong wish to talk also improved my ability to express myself, which is important for writers who are also considered as storytellers.Mo Yan lived a/an ________ life when he was young.
| A．hard | B．colourful | C．easy | D．rich |
From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________
| A．little Mo Yan was interested in selling vegetables |
| B．his mother was attracted by the retold story at first |
| C．his mother didn’t let him listen to the new stories again |
| D．little Mo Yan had quite a good memory |
Why did his mother dislike the professional storytellers?
| A．Because she thought they never said anything good. |
| B．Because she thought they couldn’t make much money. |
| C．Because she thought they would affect Mo Yan’s schoolwork. |
| D．Because she thought most people didn’t like listening to stories. |
In Mo Yan’s opinion, a writer should be a ________ child when they were young.
| A．silent | B．modest | C．talkative | D．trouble-making |
Which is the best title（标题）of the passage?
| A．My Unlucky Childhood | B．A Storyteller’s Childhood |
| C．My Kind Grandmother | D．More talking leads to success |
Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering(不开花的) plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds(种子). The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(孢子). Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady(阴凉的) places, they usually grow into new plants.What fact does the passage lead you to believe?
| A．Of all living things, animals are most important. |
| B．Spores are seeds. |
| C．All fruits of flowering plants have seeds. |
| D．Without plants, man will die out. |
The paragraph following the passage will be about ________.
| A．how plants can make food from air |
| B．how spores grow into new plants |
| C．why some plants have no seeds |
| D．why non-flowering plants are more important than flowering plants |
This passage is most likely to be taken from ________.
| A．a story book | B．a novel |
| C．a science magazine | D．a laboratory report |
