Well, I suggest you try the beautiful and green Isle of Wight (IOW). The Isle of Wight is one of the main tourist attractions. Here is some information on a few of the attractions on the IOW.Dinosaur IsleIt is located in Sandown, a seaside town on the southeast coast. It’s a large, lovely museum, both fun and educational. Here you can see a large fossil collection of all kinds of dinosaurs, as well as a gift shop. You can walk into the past and then the future, learning about the history and the development of the civilization of dinosaurs (恐龙) that lived 120 million years ago.Robin Hill Country ParkThe park is in the beautiful countryside, and is suitable for children’s parties and games. It has five new gardens, and offers great opportunities to see and take pictures of the rare red squirrels.The West of the WightHere we have the Marine Aquarium, the Archaeology Exhibition and the Model Railway. They offer another opportunity to combine entertainment (娱乐) with learning. This is a great place to see ancient boats crossing the narrow strait between the island and the mainland.The Wight Bus MuseumThis museum is run completely by unpaid volunteers. It has a bus collection stored in what was once a warehouse (仓库). Most of the buses in the museum date back to around the 1910’s.With all of these choices, what are you waiting for?

While people are often encouraged to donate (捐赠) canned goods, not everyone is thinking about things like shoes.Of course, you can’t go looking for a new job or a home, if you have no shoes to walk in. One woman in Hays, Kansas took this into consideration, and found a great way to help hundreds of people.Payless stores were going out of business, and shoes were selling for as little as $1 per pair, so a woman named Addy Tritt bought out all the remaining shoes at the Hays Payless store — more than 200 pairs — and donated them to flood victims (灾民) in Nebraska.Those shoes were then sent to farmers in Nebraska by Fort Hays State University. Tritt, who recently graduated from FHSU, wanted to “pay it forward”.“I have been so lucky,” she said. “There have been so many great people in my life who have inspired me. I see so many terrible things in the news. So many people have helped me when I was down. They influenced me so much that I want to help if I can.”Tritt has a history of kind acts. She has donated more than 60 bags of school supplies to Hays students, and organised a baby clothes drive and two supply drives for the animal shelter.“I really feel I have been directed and guided to help people,” she said. “If you can do something for someone else, you need to find a way even if it is a pair of shoes.”5．How did Tritt help flood victims?A．By buying shoes for them.B．By sending some food to them.C．By helping them find new jobs.D．By selling shoes to raise money for them. 6．What does the underlined phrase “pay it forward” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Get extra support.B．Share news with others.C．Pass on kindness.D．Put forward the plan.7．Why did Tritt donate shoes to flood victims?A．The victims needed shoes most.B．She was influenced by kind people.C．The shoes were sold at a low price.D．She wanted to help the Payless stores. 8．Which word can best describe Tritt?A．Brave.B．Easy-going.C．Clever.D．Caring.People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their native language naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only related to learning a second language.A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese (葡萄牙语) much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different. The greater the differences between a second language and one’s first language, the harder it will be for most people to learn a second language. Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn, possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system, and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners. However, for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet (字母表).Some people seem to learn languages readily, while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the environment in which the language is learned also play an important role, as well as each learner’s purpose of learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it in their work, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day-to-day life.No language is easy to learn well, though languages which are related to our first language are easier. Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge, but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another. In the end, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.9．What is the main idea of paragraph 2?A．Portuguese and Chinese are very different.B．Chinese is harder to learn than Portuguese.C．Portuguese is very easy for foreigners to learn.D．One’s first language can affect learning a second language.10．Why do many people think Chinese is hard to learn?A．Its writing system is strange.B．Its pronunciation is old-fashioned.C．Its characters are difficult to understand.D．It has many differences from otherlanguages.11．What does the underlined word “readily” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Carefully.B．Easily.C．Freely.D．Slowly.Have you ever lost your temper (脾气)? Did you shout or want to hit someone?12 You may get angry when something doesn’t go your way. Maybe you get mad at yourself when you don’t understand your homework or when your team loses an important game. Maybe your teacher gave you too much homework. That made you angry!There are different ways people feel angry. 13 Are you breathing faster? Is your face bright red? Do you want to break something or hit someone? Anger can make you shout at those around you, even people you like or love.Some people keep their anger buried deep inside. If you do this, you might get a headache or your stomach might start to hurt. You may start to cry. 14 You should find a way to let it out without hurting yourself or others.Don’t lose control if you get angry. 15 Instead, admit to yourself that you are angry and try to know why. What can you do to keep the situation from happening again? If your little sister gets a toy and you don’t, it’s not OK to break that toy. Maybe you can ask her to share it with you. It helps to talk about your anger with an adult, such as a parent, teacher, or relative. 16 .A．It’s not good to hide your anger.B．Anger can even be a good thing.C．Many things may make you angry.D．Taking it out on others never solves anything.E．Usually your body will tell you when you are angry.F．Once you talk about anger, those bad feelings usually start to go away.G．When someone you know is angry, he or she may stop talking to you or become quiet.二、完形填空A homeless man spent two days tracking down a woman after finding her handbag in theout in Bolton．Paul Calderbank found the handbag outside a pub and began a search for its 18 ．He walked around the streets for two days 19 people who looked about Ms Owen's age if they knew her．He 20 who she was from her driving licence．Mr Calderbank，who has been 21 for four years，attached a note to the bag explaining his mission （任务）22 he feared people would think he had stolen it.
