However, with the right amount of hard work and focus you can pass your tests with ease.When I was in school, I used to get very stressed over my exams. So did my friends.

Take the middle path -- stay calm, eat healthy and get a rest. Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough. A tired, overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy, empty one!So, what should you do ?Arrange a time each day for study and a time for relaxation .You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments. Get plenty of sleep .If you are tired, information will not stick in our memory. Finally eat healthy foods that fuel your body and mind.It does no good to think too much about your exams. Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on them .That’s not true. Instead, just view the exams as another difficulty you will overcome. You have overcome all kinds of difficulties in you life so far. With the right amount of work and focus, you will pass your exams with flying colours! High school is right around the corner!93.

But I’ve discovereda way to experience the thrill(兴奋，紧张) of climbing rock. Indoor climbing is an easy and excitingway to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer! Indoor climbers don’t climb on real rock, but on a plastic wall. You can probably find a climbing wall near you. Many gyms,schools and camps have one.You can climb in doors at any time of the year, no matter how the whether is. It is usually not expensive. Most gyms provide the equipment you need. The convenience of indoor climbing is one reason why it has become so popular. But the main reason people climb is for rush(刺激感) they get. When I stand at the roof of the wall and look up, I’m always scared, but once I start climbing, fear changes to determination. With my heart pounding(心剧烈跳动), I reach the top and look down. I can’t stop grinning. I did it!Indoor climbing is a great workout(锻炼). Climbing uses muscles(肌肉)that are hard to exercise, especially those in the shoulders, arms, chest and back. Many people say climbing makes exercise fun. Most gyms have several climbing walls with various degrees of difficulty. The easier ones are like climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out(凸出)in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel(平行的)with the floor.Although gym climbing is easier and safer than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope through something called a belay device(绳索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip. But make sure your partner knows how to use this equipment. And if you are a first-time climber, get some instruction before you begin.93.

They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as my generation. I will give you two examples.Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9.15 a.m. It was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me. I don’t know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise.

They saw the woman but did nothing.I had to ask them to give her a seat. They reluctantly(勉强地)did so but gave me a rude look. I gotoff at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn’t follow me.Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family. I was looking forward to meeting his children, who I hadn’t seen for ten years. During dinner, we started talking about world po litics. Itsoon became clear that they didn’t know much. They couldn’t tell me the name of the King ofSpain or the President of Italy. All they knew about was the internet and which singers were themost beautiful. In my day, students knew the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe.I worry about the future of Germany. How could these young people become responsible workers and parents? They sit around Mcdonald’s after school instead of going to the library like Idid at their age. Maybe they have too much money.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(12分)Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees.

When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones. They want to log on to their micro blogs to check the interesting things that have happened in the last hour.Since last year, thetrend (潮流) of micro blogging has swept the country. Recent surveys shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update their blogs over five times per day."We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop."It is also a great place for students to let out stress. "My parents always ask me to study hard, and encourage me before exams, but it really adds pressure," said Simon Zhang, 15. "When I share these feelings on my micro blog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better."But parents are worried that micro blogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children."If parents can read their children's micro blogs, they'll know their thoughts, thus leading to better communication and solutions to problems," he said. He also gives some tips for kids.-Don't micro blog for more than one hour a day.-Never micro blog in class.-Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.-Be critical(批判性的). Don't trust all the messages on a micro blog.74. Students log on to their micro blogs to .A) check the things B) write articles C) listen to music D) call their parents75.

He invites people to borrow books for free. There are about 160 books in the cart, but he has got over 1000 books. Most of his books are donated by people who support his work.Two years ago, he used to earn a living by selling water in the street. As he was waiting for the customers, he sat there and read. One day a reporter saw him and offered him some books from his office. That is how the library cart started. People from all walks of life are welcome to pick up a book from his cart and read. He doesn't keep arecord of who borrows which book. He trusts (信任) people to return the books after reading them. Every Friday he introduces his cart at a culture event where he talks to the children about the importance of reading and of the books he likes most.

I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.After about a kilometer, a strange appeared in front of me. ―Am I going the right way?‖ I asked. He knew where I was going. ―Yes,‖ he replied. ―you’ll get there in five minutes.‖ Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped.I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything.Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon(大峡谷), one of the wonders of the natural world.I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 kilometers below me. If you put three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it? It’s 20 kilometers, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides of the can yon disappeared into the distance…over 400 kilometers long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It’s huge!That morning on the edge of the canyon. I asked myself a question.

Her husband, who was a musician, had died, and left her very poor indeed.The businessman saw that the widow and her daughter, who was with her, were in great distress. He looked with pity into their pale faces, and was sure that their sad story was true.'How much do you want, my good woman?' said the businessman.'Five dollars will save us,' said the poor widow, with some hesitation, after she thought for a few seconds.The businessman sat down at his desk, took a piece of paper, wrote a few lines on it, and gave it to the widow with the words, 'Take it to the bank you see on the other side of the street.'The widow thanked the man, and then quickly walked to the bank with her daughter, without stopping to read the note. The banker at once counted out fifty dollars instead of five, and passed them to the widow.She was amazed when she saw so much money. 'Sir, there is a mistake here,' she said. 'You have given me fifty dollars, and I asked for only five.'The banker looked at the note once more, and said, 'The check calls for fifty dollars.'The banker then asked her to wait a few minutes, while he went to see the businessman who gave her the note.'Yes,' said the businessman, when he had heard the banker's story, 'I did make a mistake. I wrote fifty instead of five hundred. Give the poor widow five hundred dollars, for such honesty is poorly rewarded(奖赏) with even that sum.'74. From the story, we can guess that a widow is a woman who ______.A. has lost her husbandB. loves her husband very muchC. is very poorD. has a daughter but no sons75. ______ most probably has nothing to do with (和……无关) the word distress in the second paragraph.A poor family B.

Oh, you’ve got the flu! Late autumn and early winter is flu season. The flu is annoying. It takes weeks to get over. It prevents us from concentrating (集中注意) in class and having fun on the playground. So can we do anything to prevent it?Can exercise help our body fight off a cold or flu? This is a good question, but not easy to answer. There isn’t any research addressing this question. There was one small study among college students. But it did not show any difference in the body’s response (反应) to flu vaccine (流感疫苗) between students who exercised and those who did not. Exercise at the start of a cold or flu is unlikely to change the course of the illness.On the other hand, a person who exercises often will be in better physical condition. They will be more energetic. They may sleep more soundly and therefore be better rested, and may feel happier and less stressed by a cold or flu. So regular exercise is likely to help a person fight off colds and the flu.Because the flu and colds are caused by viruses, frequent hand-washing, keeping your hands away from your face, and avoiding contact with infected (被感染的) people will all help to prevent infection. Smoking makes a person more easily infected by viruses, so avoiding smoke is another way to be protected.74. _______________is flu season.A) Early spring and late autumn B) Late autumn and early winterC) Early autumn and late winter D) Late winter and early spring75. If you have got the flu, you won’t _______________ .A) have a sore throat B) have a running noseC) have a dizzy head D) have fun on the playground76.

In order to prevent ourselves from getting the flu, it is not good to____________ .A) wash hands frequently B) keep hands away from your faceC) avoid contact with infected people D) smoke from time to time79.The flu ____________.A) takes a few hours to get over B) can be easily fought offC) has nothing to do with exercise D) is caused by virusesrmal style【虹口区】Santi’s big brother Len had told him never to push all the remote control （遥控器）buttons at the same time. He said that something terrible would happen if he did. Santi didn’t really control in his hand. For a while, he changed from channel to channel, looking for something interesting to watch. Bored, Santi decided to see what Len could have meant.With a quick glance over his shoulder to make sure Len hadn’t come back, he pushed all the buttons at once. Santi saw a bright flash, and he dropped the remote control. ―I’ve broken it,‖ he thought. ―Now I’m in trouble!‖ As he looked around for the remote control, he realized he was in more trouble than he’d thought. He was suddenly only the size of a mouse!―Oh, no!‖ Santi shouted. He had to find his parents quickly. Carefully, he climbed down the side of the huge sofa and hurried across the floor. In the kitchen, Santi could see that the sliding door had been left open. ―If the door is open, then the cat might be in here,‖ tiny Santi said.Just then, Santi and the cat saw each other. Santi ran for the door, the cat closing in quickly behind him. Just as the cat reached out to attach Santi, it slipped （打滑）on some water and slid across the kitchen floor. Out of breath, Santi hid behind a flowerpot in the corridor. He could see his mum far away in the garden. ―How will I ever get there?‖ he wondered. As he looked out from behind the flowerpot, there was t he huge cat looking right at him! Santi rushed for the garden and then.., he woke up. ―It was only a dream!‖ he said with a relieved smile. ―Thank goodness!‖74.

She told everyone she was glad to help build the park. She explained that she hoped the park would have a jogging trail.Elena went to the area every week. Soon everyone knew her and she told everyone how wonderful a jogging trail would be.Soon the volunteers cleared the lots. The city could start building. The mayor(市长)gave a speech.

A salary of $ 400,000, along with otherb enefits, is paid to the President annually. But President Obama’s income for 2008 was far more than that, according to the White House.The White House recently published the tax returns (纳税申报单)of Obama and Vice –president Joe Biden. Tax returns are reports of tax that a person has to pay. They often include income information used to calculate the tax. In the US, people whose incomes are over a certain amount have to file tax returns(纳税申报)every year. The tax returns of government officials are open to the public. This transparency helps to prevent corruption(腐败)。

Reading Comprehension 阅读理解：共50分A. Choose the best answer 根据文章内容,选择最恰当的答案：12分Basic PhotographyMy favorite area in Britain is a country called Northumberland in the north-east of the country. I like it because it has mountains, the sea and history. The mountains are not very high. In China you would probably call them hills rather than mountains as they are less than 1,000 meters high, but there is something wild about these mountains you get a feeling of space and freedom. You can walk for miles without meeting another person.Northumberland is full of history. There are seven castles, some of them were ruined and the others still there as they were centuries ago. You can find graves going back to prehistoric史前的, times and strange carvings on rocks which nobody understands. The coast line is dramatic too, with beautiful sandy beaches. These beaches are rarely crowded because the weather is unpredictable and the North Sea is very cold People don’t go for seaside holidays to Northumberland because of the cold sea and weather, so even in high season there ar en’t many tourists.There is an island called Holy Island off the coast of Northumberland, you can get to the island by car or on foot when the tide is out. There is also one castle I particularly like. It is a 14th century castle which stands on a cliff right by the sea. The castle is almost completely ruined, but it looks dramatic and romantic because you can still see the gate and two of its owners. On a summer’s day you can lie on the beach nearby and let your mind wander as you look at this dream-like castle. On a winter’s day you can walk to the castle and watch the waves crash into the cliff, wondering how this castle has stood so long against the forces of nature.I once said to a friend of mine that I thought this castle by the sea was the most beautiful place in the world. She laughed and said there must be many more dramatic places in the world. In one way, I’m sure she’s right, but forme, it’s not just about what a place looks like, it’s about what it says to you.69. In China people probably call them mountains which are ______ 1,000 meters high.A. less thanB. nearlyC. more thanD. almost70. How are the seven castles in NorthumberlandA. They are modern and fantastic.B. They are all complete and magnificent.C. Some hasn’t ch anged at all for centuries.D. Some are full of strange carvings.71. Not many people visit the beautiful beach because of ______.A. the soft sandsB. the cold sea and weatherC. the warm seaD. the island nearby72. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the reason why the author likes the 14th century castleA. It was built in the 14th century on a cliff right by the sea.B. It looks very dramatic and romantic with two towers but no gate.C. The author can let his mind wander as he looks at this dream-like castle.D. The author can walk to the castle and watch the waves crash into the cliff.73. From the last paragraph in the passage, we know ______.A. the author’s friend agreed on his opinion about the castle.B. the author does n’t think there are many more dramatic places in the world.C. the author’s friend pays no attention to the beautiful scenery.D. what the author cares is not only the scenery but also the feeling he can get from it.74. You can get the passage from the following materials EXCEPT ______.A. science fictionB. journalsC. newspapersD. magazinesB.

I stood up to look around when a 75 hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled 有皱纹的, little old lady with a smile. She 76 a minute and said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eigh ty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug ”I laughed and responded, “Of course you may” and she gave me a big one.We became immediate friends. Every day for the next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I always loved listening t o this ‘time machine’ 77 she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of this year Rose became a campus role model and she 78 made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she loved the attention from the other students.At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football club. I’ll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the platform. As she began to deliver he prepared speech, she dropped her cards on the floor. A little upset she simply said, “I’m sorry I’m so nervous.I 79 beer for Lent大裔节and this wine is killing me I’ll never get my speech back in order …” As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.

As a result, about 300 million children around the world go barefoot. Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites寄生虫from the soil.An American man has a s 82 for those barefoot kids –a shoe that grows with the child. Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows. He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long.“It grows in three places: the front, the side and the back with the child.It can last up to five years. The b 83 is compressed压缩的rubber like tire rubber. The top is just high-quality leather.”The shoe comes in two sizes: small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14. Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a v 84 in an orp hanage in Kenya. “… and there was a little girl ina white dress walking next to me. And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were. And she had to c 85 open the front of her shoes to let her toes脚趾stick out. At that time I just remember thinking, wouldn’tit be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet ” However, Lee says it was i 86 to turn his idea into a reality at that time. “YetI kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that. All these reasons why it really was important for me to try to make the shoes grow are to try to help them.” Finally, in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International. Together, they have sent over 50,000 pairs ofshoes to 70 countries. Lee says a pair shoes gives a child self-worth and more chances to succeed b 87 much protection.D．Answer the questions根据短文内容回答下列问题12分You are invited to a large party. Loud music is playing, and lots of people are dancing. Do you dance or talk to as many people as you can call all night Later, you cannot fall asleep—you want more conversation Or do you prefer a quieter cornerOr perhaps you cannot wait to go home early and relax by yourself.Which of these people sound most like you Person A, who tries to talk to everyone and stays late Or Person B, who prefers to keep quiet and leaves early If you said Person A, you are probably more extroverted性格外向的. If you said Person B, you are probably more introverted内向的. Or perhaps you are Person C and fall somewhere in the middle. Introverted and extroverted people are two commonly used words to describe a person’s personality. And they are also commonly misused and misunderstood.Introverts may be thought as quiet, shy and timid. Extroverts may be thought as bold, confident, loud and full of energy. Introverted and extroverted people may fit those descriptions. But these same descriptions do not define下定义introversion and extroversion properly.Introverts and extroverts use their brains differently, and they get their energy differently. Introversion is the state of being mostly concerned with one’s own mental life. Extroversion is the opposite. Extroversion is the state of being mostly concerned with what is outside oneself.People who consider themselves introverts may say they “need to be alone to charge their batteries”. However, introverts may still live being social and going to parties. But such activities require time to prepare.Extroverts may say, “I don’t need ‘alone time’, I feel more relaxed being around other people.” Even so, extroverts can still feel unsure or not confident among other people.So where do you fall on the introversion/ extroversion chart88.

However, with the right amount of hard work and focus you can pass your tests with ease.When I was in school, I used to get very stressed over my exams. So did my friends. Some people stopped eating and others ate too much! Some gave up and others burned themselves out! The most important thing to remember when studying is not to feel frightened! Take the middle path -- stay calm, eat healthy and get a rest. Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough. A tired, overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy, empty one!So, what should you do ?Arrange a time each day for study and a time for relaxation .You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments. Get plenty of sleep .If you are tired, information will not stick in our memory. Finally eat healthy foods that fuel your body and mind.It does no good to think too much about your exams. Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on them .That‟s not true. Instead, just view the exams as another difficulty you will overcome. You have overcome all kinds of difficulties in you life so far. With the right amount of work and focus, you will pass your exams with flying colours! High school is right around the corner!93.

But I‟ve discovereda way to experience the thrill(兴奋，紧张) of climbing rock. Indoor climbing is an easy and excitingway to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer! Indoor climbers don‟tclimb on real rock, but on a plastic wall. You can probably find a climbing wall near you. Many gyms,schools and camps have one.You can climb in doors at any time of the year, no matter how the whether is. It is usually notexpensive. Most gyms provide the equipment you need. The convenience of indoor climbing isone reason why it has become so popular. But the main reason people climb is for rush(刺激感) they get. When I stand at the roof of the wall and look up, I‟m always scared, but once I start climbing, fear changes to determination. With my heart pounding(心剧烈跳动), I reach the top and look down. I can‟t stop grinning. I did it!Indoor climbing is a great workout(锻炼). Climbing uses muscles(肌肉)that are hard to exercise, especially those in the shoulders, arms, chest and back. Many people say climbing makes exercise fun. Most gyms have several climbing walls with various degrees of difficulty. The easier ones are like climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out(凸出)in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel(平行的)with the floor.Although gym climbing is easier and safer than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope through something called a belay device(绳索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(12分)On 3 July 2003, a 35-year-old Englishman called Doug Bruce walked into a police station in New York, and told the police that he did not know his own name. He had woken up a few minutes earlier on a subway train, with a headache, and had no idea where he was going or who he was. "I was frightened," he said later, when talking about the experience. "I didn't know anything. It was like being in the darkness."Doug went to the police station because he had nowhere else to go. He was wearing a T-shirt, shorts and had a bag with something in it: a Spanish book, a bunch of keys and a map of New York. The police were confused. "We 'd never had anything like this before," said a policeman. They sent Doug to a hospital. On his name card the nurse wrote "unknown white man".The doctors were surprised at his memory loss. Although Doug could make sentences without difficulty, he remembered nothing about his own past. One doctor at the hospital said that he only ever seen such a serious diseases "in the movies and books."The hospital would not let Doug to go until he had come to himself. Finally, hospital staff came across a phone number in his Spanish book. It was the number of his friend. Doug phoned and she recognized his voice at once. "Is that you, Doug?" she said. His friend went to the hospital, told the doctors who Doug was, and took him home."Home" turned out to be a perfect flat in downtown Manhattan, which he shared with two dogs and three birds.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)This letter was sent to a newspaper in Germany.13 October Dear EditorI am writing to ask what has happened to our youth. They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as my generation.I will give you two examples.Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9.15 a.m. It was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me. I don‟t know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕的)woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They saw the woman but did nothing. I had to ask them to give her a seat. They reluctantly(勉强地)did so but gave me a rude look. I got off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn‟t follow me.Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend‟s family. I was looking forward to meeting his children, who I hadn‟t seen for ten years. During dinner, we started talking about world po litics. It soon became clear that they didn‟t know much. They couldn‟t tell me the name of the King of Spain or the President of Italy. All they knew about was the internet and which singers were the most beautiful. In my day, students knew the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe.I worry about the future of Germany. How could these young people become responsible workers and parents? They sit around Mcdonald‟s after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe t hey have too much money.

As an eleven-year-old boy, he became the youngest pianist ever to perform a concertat the theater.Never too young to learnNiu Niu was born into a musical family in Xiamen. His father Zhang was a piano teacher. Niu Niu grew up listening to his father's student playing the piano. At just threeyears old, Niu Niu asked his father to teach him to play, too."I gave Niu Niu some sheet music(活动乐谱)and helped him find the eight notes(琴键)when he first played the piano. To my surprise, he played nearly 80 percent correct," said the father. He used to think that 3 years old is too young an age to learn piano, but Niu Niu changed his mind. He continued to allow Niu Niu to watch his teaching of other students and gave him more sheet music to play.Playing for funZhang started teaching Niu Niu standard piano lessons when he was four. Unlike many other piano teachers, Zhang didn‟t insist that Niu Niu play strictly with the correct finger positioning(指法). He said that the strict finger positioning would rob some kids of fun of playing. So Niu Niu could play in his own way. He could play the tone successfully. But Niu Niu was required to play the music without looking at the sheet music. Now he can memorize about 80 pages. Rising to fameIn 2003, at the age of 6, Niu Niu successfully held a sole concert(独唱音乐会) in his hometown Xiamen. At the age of 8, he gave a performance at the International Piano Festival in France. At the age of 10, Niu Niu played in London and his performance was praised by Prince Charles.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(12分)Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe (成熟) or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has noexperience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or oxwhose horns (角) had not yet developed.

You might say the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues growing long after your plants have died.The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural (农业的) scientists who had green thumbs.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy (嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature (生物) from outer space. It is an expression firstly used about 400 years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play "Othello".

What does a greenhorn now refer to?94. Is the person with a green thumb good at growing plants?95. Who works hard and helps to develop new kinds of rice and other grains?96. People don't use green to describe people's feeling, do they?97. When was the expression "the green-eyed monster" probably firstly used?98.

And for the youngstars who have spent half their lives filming the movie, the pain of saying goodbye could not begreater. But there are several things Tom Felton---also known as Harry's school nemesi s (复仇者)Draco Malfoy --- is looking forward to. And from the moment you see him, it is clear why."For the past ten years we haven't had much free time to do other things. I certainly haven't had much free time to keep my own hair color, or lie in the sun, or do anything with only a little danger like skiing. It was nice to go on holiday and not have to make up on the SPF50 and sit under an umbrella with three caps on," Tom said.For all the fame and wealth that Harry Potter has brought its young stars, there have been plenty of downsides, too.Tom is now 23 but talks like he is ten years older, and his co-stars have been working since they were young children. And while he says he has no regrets about being in the movies, he also says that at the same time he had to grow up fast."One thing that people keep on saying to me is that the wealth and the fame must have made up fax missing out on my childhood," he says. "But the idea of money ---putting a price on your childhood--- is ridiculous(可笑的). You will never get those years back. Don't you think you can put a price on them?""And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality."The youngest of four brothers brought up in a middle-class home in Epsom, Surrey, he honestly says that no one in the family knew what to do with all the money he was making. His mother invested some of it in property(不动产) but told him the rest was his to do with what he wanted.93. Who is Tom Felton known as in the film Harry Potter?94.

Is it that the world has changed so much in recent years that our habits are not the same anymore?Nowadays many people have no interest in literature(文学). This may be a possible explanation. Another r 88 might be the change of lifestyle (生活方式). We are more 1 89 to visit a club or a bar to relax ourselves after a long day's work, rather than read a book in the comfort of our own homes.
