C

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.

Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.

Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”

Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.

People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.

BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虛擬). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.

The summer holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden you view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we can go to places of interest nearby. I thought that it is a good idea. It does not cost many, yet we can still learn a lot.

Creating a good study environment takes a little planning. It is well worth the time as the end result will be much productive study time. Many people fail to do this and wonder why they cannot concentrate. After a couple of times of studying the right way, most people will be surprised at how much they can actually enjoy studying. 1.

Know that concentration is the key. Reduce every possible distraction. Turn off the television and go in an area where you will not be interrupted by people. 2.If you are studying on your computer,don't get distracted by emails and social networking sites.

3. If it is too dim(暗), your eyes will be strained and leave you tired and wanting to close your eyes. Sun is a light that naturally wakes you up and helps you think.

Choose a comfortable seat. 4.Now a couch can work just fine for this as long as you don't find yourself laying flat after a few minutes. The whole point of studying is to be able to concentrate on the study matter and not on a sore back.

5. Now this is for the person who needs the background noise to tone out all the little noises of life going on. If you find yourself thinking about the song then maybe silence is better for you.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2015-2016學(xué)年內(nèi)蒙古包頭一中高一下期中考試英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

It was a cold winter morning and I was waiting in line to see Jack Canfield, one of the authors of the best selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles. What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.

During his presentation, Jack pulled out a one-hundred-dollar bill and asked “Who wants this?” Hands shot up in the audience and many people leaned forward to see who Jack would choose. But I ran up to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand. He turned to me and said, “Yes, that’s it! Instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply act and create what we want!”

After the talk, I asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mails sharing my views and dream. He kindly e-mailed back simple encouragements such as “Keep thinking and playing bigger; it’s much more fun that way.” Then I got occupied with other things in life and I stopped e-mailing Jack.

A year later, my dream gradually faded. I had the idea that I would get in touch with Jack again. I e-mailed him several times but got no response. As I sat down at my computer to check my e-mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: what was I doing? Was I waiting for the prize of life? I knew I need to do something about all this waiting. I was going to write a book, which I would call Waiting for Jack.

It all sounded good, but then reality hit. Some nights I cried and wanted to give up. Then I wrote and rewrote. Even though I had great difficulty, I did it anyway. Fortunately, three years later, Waiting for Jack turned out a best-seller on Amazon!

We all have a “Jack”---whether it’s person, a place, a time or some certain thing. Now I would like to ask you: what are you waiting for?

1.From the first paragraph we can learn that the author________.

A. wanted Jack to autograph her book

B. wanted to be as successful as Jack

C. wanted to make friends with Jack

D. wanted to get help from Jack

2.It can be inferred form the passage that Jack Canfield is probably a person who________.

A. never replies e-mail

B. likes showing off his wealth

C. seldom takes risks

D. enjoys challenges in life

3.How did the author lose contact with Jack?

A. She and Jack had an argument.

B. She once had no time to contact Jack.

C. Jack was too proud to get along with.

D. She was too upset with her broken dream

4.What might be the theme of the book Waiting for Jack?

A. The disappointment of waiting for her hero Jack.

B. The need to keep waiting for the prize of our life.

C. The importance of taking action to achieve a goal.

D. The harm of blindly admiring others as heroes.

News reports warn us that the smog is expected to stay with us for a couple of months. Air quality is 10 times worse than the World Health Organization’s recommended levels. You may think that there is nothing you can do about the air you breathe1.

Wear an N95 mask.

Surgical masks won’t do, my friends. You need a proper N95 mask. 2.The purpose is to filter out the little particles (顆粒) in the air that can be very unhealthy if breathed in. It’s not attractive, but your health is more important than looking attractive.

Drink lots of water and stay hydrated.

Hot temperature and high humidity are often connected with high smog levels. This makes it important to stay in the shade and drink lots of water to stay hydrated, especially before, during, and after exercise. 3.

Stay indoors.

If possible, stay indoors. While you might want to visit your favourite open-air hawker stall (小販攤檔), now it’s not the time to do so. 4. Better still, for those at work, pack your own lunch. What’s more important, avoid exercise outdoors, especially from mid-morning to early evening, when smog levels are higher.

5..

Often neighbors or family members smoke in the hallways or just outside of apartment buildings, which makes the air much worse. And this air still comes into the apartments. So, keep the windows closed and use air purifiers to protect your home.

When your city’s smog gets bad, now you have the tips to keep on trucking. Best of luck.

A. Protect your home.

B. Keep the doors open.

C. If you want to go out, go to malls, and eat in enclosed spaces.

D. Consider exercising indoors in a smoke-free, air-conditioned environment.

E. However, there are easy ways to protect yourself against smog and air pollution.

F. Besides, water will not only quench your thirst, but help clear your breathing passages.

G. Its straps should be securely fastened behind your head, to hold the mask against your face.
