Recently, however, there has been a renewed interest in holistic medicine. The term “holistic” refers to treating the whole person, including the physical, emotional, mental, andspiritual aspects.Holistic medicine has many benefits. For example, it can help prevent illnesses from developing in the first place. By promoting healthy habits and behaviors, such as eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and managing stress, holistic medicine can help keep a person healthy and prevent them from getting sick.Another benefit of holistic medicine is that it focuses on treating the root cause of an illness, rather than just the symptoms. For example,traditional medicine might prescribe medication to relieve pain, but this does not necessarily solve the underlying problem. In contrast, holistic healers try to understand why the person is experiencing pain in the first place and help address the root cause of the problem.In addition, holistic medicine often takes a more personalized approach to treatment. The practitioner takes into account the patient’s unique needs, preferences, and circumstances when developing a treatment plan. This can lead to more effective treatment outcomes because the patient is more likelyto be invested in their own health.Finally, holistic medicine often incorporates a variety of healing methods, such as acupuncture, massage, meditation, and yoga. These treatments can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, which can in turn improve overall health and well-being.51. Holistic medicine is focused on treating the entire person, rather than just the physical aspects.52. Traditional medicine may only treat symptoms, not underlying causes.53. Holistic medicine can help prevent disease.54. Holistic medicine takes a more personalized approach to treatment.55. A variety of healing methods are used in holistic medicine.Paragraph 1: 51.Paragraph 2: 53.Paragraph 3: 52.Paragraph 4: 54.Paragraph 5: 55.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneThe Role of Music in Our LivesMusic plays an integral role in our lives. It is a form of art that touches the soul in a way that other art forms cannot match. It has the uniqueability to communicate emotions and feelings that are difficult to express in words.So, why is music so important to us? Well,for one thing, it has been with us for as long as we have been human. Archaeologists have found evidence of musical instruments from over 40,000 years ago, and it is likely that music has been a part of human culture for even longer.Another reason music is so important is that it is an universal language. Different cultures and peoples all over the world use music to express emotions and connect with each other. Even if people do not share a common language, they can still connect and bond over music.Music is also important because it can evoke strong emotions in people. Listening to music can calm you down when you are feeling anxious or stressed. Alternatively, it can make you feel energized and motivated when you need to get things done.Finally, music is important because it helpsus form our identities. The music we listen to says a lot about who we are and what we value. It can bring people together who share similar interests and tastes in music.Music has been a part of human culture for thousands of years and it is likely that it will continue to be an integral part of our lives for thousands more.56. What does music have the ability to do that other art forms cannot match?A. Create a sense of communityB. Communicate emotionsC. Inspire creativityD. Improve intellectual ability57. What is one likely reason why music is important to us?A. It helps us form our identities.B. It is universal.C. It is calming.D. It is energizing.58. What is one important reason music can evoke strong emotions in people?A. It is a universal language.B. It has been with us for thousands of years.C.

The role of music in human culturePassage TwoThe Importance of SleepMost adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night to function at their best. Unfortunately, many people are not getting enough sleep, which can have serious consequences for their overall health and well-being.One reason for this is the increasing use of electronic devices in the bedroom. The blue light emitted by cell phones, computers, and tablets caninterfere with the body’s production of melatonin, which is a hormone that helps regulate sleep. This can make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.Another reason people may be getting less sleep is that they are not making it a priority intheir lives. Many people try to cram too much intotheir waking hours, leaving little time for sleep.This can lead to chronic sleep deprivation, which can cause a range of health problems, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.In addition, some people may have disorders that prevent them from getting enough sleep. For example, sleep apnea is a disorder in which aperson’s breathing is interrupted during sleep, leading to frequent awakenings and a loss of quality sleep.Finally, stress and anxiety can alsointerfere with sleep. When we are stressed out, our bodies produce cortisol, which is a hormone that can make it difficult to fall asleep. Furthermore, anxious thoughts can keep us awake at night, preventing usfrom getting the rest we need.In order to improve sleep, there are several things people can do. For example, they can create a bedtime routine, avoid electronic devices before bed, and make sleep a priority in their lives. Additionally,people who have disorders that prevent them from getting enough sleep should talk to their doctor about treatment options.61. How many hours of sleep do most adults need each night?A. Six to eightB. Seven to nineC. Nine to tenD. Ten to eleven62. What is one way that electronic devices can interfere with sleep?A. By emitting a blue light that disrupts melatonin productionB. By making too much noise at nightC. By causing nightmaresD. By waking people up too early63. What is one consequence of chronic sleep deprivation?A. Increased productivityB. Increased heart functionC. Decreased risk of obesityD. Increased risk of heart disease64. What is one disorder that can prevent people from getting enough sleep?A. DiabetesB. Heart diseaseC. Sleep apneaD. Stress and anxiety65. What are some strategies people can use to improve their sleep?A. Avoid using electronics before bed and make sleep a priorityB. Take medication to help you fall asleepC. Drink caffeine before bed to help you stay awakeD. Exercise vigorously right before bed to tire yourself out61. B. Seven to nine62. A. By emitting a blue light that disrupts melatonin production63. D. Increased risk of heart disease64. C. Sleep apnea65. A. Avoid using electronics before bed and make sleep a priorityPart II Writing (45 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Your Favorite Leisure Activity. You should write between 120 and 150 words, and base your composition on the outline below:1) Describe your favorite leisure activity2) Explain why you enjoy it so much3) Discuss any benefits you have derived from engaging in this activity4) Offer any tips for why others might want to trythis activityMy Favorite Leisure ActivityMy favorite leisure activity is hiking. Ilove getting outside and exploring new trails and taking in the views. There are few things that compare to the feeling of standing on top of a mountain, looking out over the landscape below.I enjoy hiking because it is both physically and mentally challenging. The terrain can be rough and steep, which makes it a great workout, but it also requires you to pay attention to where you are going and to be aware of your surroundings. It is a great way to clear your mind and let go of stress.I have derived many benefits from hiking. It has improved my physical fitness and help me maintain a healthy weight. It has also helped me connect with nature and appreciate the beauty of the world around me. Additionally, it has allowed me to meet new people and make new friends with similar interests.If you are interested in hiking, there are a few tips I would recommend. First, start slowly and choose trails that are appropriate for your fitness level. Second, make sure to bring plenty of water and wear appropriate footwear. Finally, make sure to pack a few snacks and enjoy the scenery along the way. Hiking can be a wonderful experience, and I would encourage anyone to give it a try.。

Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course, not all bosses are like that.The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do.

He needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss?The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities (优先的事). Observe and understand your boss’s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask! Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understands that you do not view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help you.In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and learning to work with his personality and management style.41.

A. abandoned B. replaced C. adopted D. ignored45. A. other B. more C. better D. ratherSection A (30 points, 2 for each )Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each of the three passages is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre(大屠杀)on the rod may be regarded as a social problem. In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people, just ordinary people acting carelessly,that carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damage to others.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 per cent of allautomobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers’reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents. And many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road. Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to with whom they share the road.46. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?A. To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerousinvention.B. To promote understanding between careless drivers andstreet walkers.C. To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutions.D. To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving.47. According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regardedas a social problem because ______.B. people usually pay little attention to law and moralityC. civilization brings much harm to people48. Why does the author mention the psychological condition of thedriver in Paragraph 2 ?A. To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents.B. To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionallyhealthy.C. To show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers.D. To illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving.49. Who are NOT mentioned as being responsible for the roadaccidents?A. Careless bicycle-riders.B. Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles.C. Irresponsible drivers.D. Mindless people walking in the street.50. Which of the following best reflects the author’s attitudetoward a future without traffic accident problem?A. Happy and rather confident.B. Surprised and very pleased.C. Disappointed and deeply worried.D. Doubtful yet still longing for.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:The often criticized child of the industrial age, advertising,survive without advertising. It is the vital link between the producer and the customer. If advertising were abolished, as manythat advertise would suffer a considerable loss.Most people think of television as an inexpensive source of entertainment.

In some eases, the stories, pictures, and editorials simply attract people to buy a particular publication. Once a person begins to read, there is no escapingthe advertising.Advertising not only pays for, or helps pay for, much of themass media; it also provides the consumer with news from industry.This news functions fist to influence the buyers to choose one product over another.

For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Questions 51-55 are based on the following passage.I was dirty, smelly, hungry and somewhere beneath all that, suntanned. It was the end of an Inter-Rail holiday. My body couldn't take any more punishment. My mind couldn't deal with any more foreign timetables, currencies or languages.“Never again,” I said, as I stepped onto home ground. I said exactly the same thing the following year. And the next. All I had to do was buy one train ticket and, because I was under twenty-five years old, I could spend a whole month going anywhere I wanted in Europe. Ordinary beds are never the same once you've learnt to sleep in the corridor of a train, the rhythm rocking you into a deep sleep.Carrying all your possessions on your back in a rucksack makes you have a very basic approach to travel, and encourages incredible wastefulness that can lead to burning socks that have become too anti-social, and getting rid of books when finished. On the other hand, this way of looking at life is entirely in the spirit of Inter-Rail, for common sense and reasoning can be thrown out of the window along with the paperback book and the socks. All it takes to achieve this carefree attitude is one of those tickets in your hand.Any system that enables young people to travel through countries at a rate of more than one a day must be pretty special. On that first trip, my friends and I were at first unaware of the possibilities of this type of train ticket, thinking it was just an inexpensive way of getting to and from our chosen camp-site in southern France. But the idea of non-stop travel proved too tempting, for there was always just one more country over the border, always that little bit further to go. And what did the extra miles cost us? Nothing.We were not completely uninterested in culture. But this was a first holiday without parents, as it was for most other Inter-Railers, and in organizing our own timetable we left out everything except the most immediately available sights. This was the chance to escape the guided tour, an opportunity to do something different. I took great pride in the fact that, in many places, all I could be bothered to see was the view from the station. We were just there to get by, and to have a good time doing so. In this we were no different from most of the other Inter-Railers with whom we shared corridor floors, food and water, money and music.The excitement of travel comes from the sudden reality of somewhere that was previously just a name. It is as if the city in which you arrive never actually existed until the train pulls in at the station and you are able to see it with your own tired eyes for the first time.Questions:51. At the end of his first trip, the writer said “Never again” because_______.A. he felt illB. he disliked trainsC. he was tired from the journeyD. he had lost money52. What does the writer mean by “this way of looking at life” in Paragraph 3?A. Worrying about your clothes.B. Throwing unwanted things away.C. Behaving in an anti-social way.D. Looking after your possessions.53. Why did the writer originally buy an Inter-Rail ticket?A. To get to one place cheaply.B. To meet other young people.C. To see a lot of famous places.D. To go on a tour of Europe.54. What the writer liked about traveling without his parents was that _______ .A. he could see more interesting placesB. he could spend more time sightseeingC. he could stay away from home longerD. he could make his own decisions55. What does “it” in Line 3, Paragraph 6, refer to?A. A name.B. The city.C. The train.D. The station.Section B Yes / No / Not given (5 points)Directions: In this part, you will have 5 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet.

Read the passages carefully, then answer the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 61-65 are based on the following passage.Going to the beach is many Americans' favorite activity. In the area near New York City, nine million people used to go to the beach every summer. They went swimming in the ocean without giving a thought to what was underwater.But those days are long gone.In the summer of 1988,the government was forced to shut down beaches all over America.Many of the beaches had to be closed because garbage from hospitals was found in the water.The garbage included glass bottles with samples of blood,and people were afraid they might get AIDS from the blood.Where the medical garbage came from is anybody's guess.At some beaches,sewage (生活污水)was found in the water.Americans were shocked by this state of affairs.They had long taken for granted that oceans were big enough to stay clean,even if garbage and sewage were dumped into them.People didn't think of the underwater garbage because it was out of sight.Some of the most polluted waters still look beautiful at first glance.San Francisco Bay is a good example of a beautiful bay that's full of chemicals.Scientists discovered pollution in some lakes and rivers when they found fish with rotting skin.In many parts of America,people are told not to eat too much fish because of pollution.Most American cities put their garbage in the ground.But New York and a few other cities put their garbage in the ocean.Boston Harbor is so polluted that scientists say it won't recover until the next century at best.The city of Boston puts its sewage in the water.The government has ordered the city to build a sewage treatment plant.Cleaning up oceans won't be easy,but people can no longer ignore this challenge.Questions:61. Most Americans used to go to the beach because of __________.62. Ocean waters around America have become polluted by __________.63. Some polluted waters are still beautiful because pollutants such as chemicals are hard to __________.64. If fish live in polluted waters people should not __________.65. The author of this passage seems to suggest that people should pay more attention to__________.Passage TwoQuestions 66-70 are based on the following passage.There are cockroaches (蟑螂) everywhere on Earth except the places that are covered with ice. Scientists have discovered about 3,500 different species of cockroach. There is just one human species! Cockroaches can be anything in size from about five mm to nine cm. Although five mm is very small, nine cm is as long as a large rat.It is very difficult to catch most cockroaches. They “see” with the hairs on their bodies. These hairs can feel the smallest movement in the air, so the cockroaches know immediately something moves, and run to safety.Of all the species of cockroach, fortunately only three live among humans and are a serious problem. They are the German, the Oriental, and theAmerican. One egg case of the German cockroach can produce as many as seven million cockroaches in 12 months!Our main problem with cockroaches is that not only do they look ugly to us, but they also carry diseases. They are particularly dangerous in hospitals as they eat all kinds of hospital waste or get it on their bodies. They can then carry this waste, which may contain dangerous bacteria, on to food which is then eaten by people in the hospital.Most of the bacteria that cause food poisoning have been found in the stomachs of cockroaches, so it is important that cockroaches should be kept out of restaurants and other places where food is prepared.Many people work and try to destroy cockroaches, but as soon as they find one way of doing it, the cockroaches “learn” how to deal with it. Elec tricity does not always kill them and they can avoid most poisons or “learn” how to deal with others. At one time, scientists thought that radiation would kill them, but they have been on Earth for about 300 million years, and it does not harm them as much as it does us.It seems probable that when there are no longer human beings living on the Earth, cockroaches will still be here.Questions:66. Cockroaches do not live in places where it is __________.67. Cockroaches know that someone or something is near because__________.68. Cockroaches can __________ because they carry bacteria.69. Paragraph 6 says that it is very difficult to __________.70. The passage is mainly about __________.Section D Summary (10 points)Directions: In this part, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary with the appropriate words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 71-75 are based on the following passage.Cosmetics have been used throughout history. The ancient Greeks, the Egyptians, and the Romans all used various kinds of makeup. Some of these cosmetics were used to improve their appearance. Others were used to protect their skin. But in some cases, things used for makeup were dangerous, or even deadly!Some of the first skin care treatments started in Egypt. In fact, Cleopatra was known to use them. She thought a bath in milk and honey left her skin silky smooth. Egyptians also developed some of the earliest sunscreens. They used oils and creams for protection against the sun and dry winds. Egyptian and other ancient cultures also used various powders on their skin for beauty. Egyptians used black kohl around their eyes. Romans put white chalk on theirfaces. And Indians painted red henna on their bodies.Most of the ancient cosmetic powders, oils, and creams were harmless. But in the name of beauty, some people applied dangerous chemicals and poisons to their skin. During the Italian Renaissance, women wore white powder made of lead on their faces. Of course, doctors now know lead is like a poison for our bodies.Also around the time of the Renaissance, women in Italy put drops of belladonna in their eyes. Belladonna is a very poisonous plant. The poison in the plant affects the nerves in the body. By putting belladonna drops in her eyes, a woman's pupils would become very large. People thought this made her more beautiful. Actually, this is why the plant is called belladonna. In Italian, belladonna me ans “beautiful woman.”When Elizabeth I was queen of England in the late 1500s, some rather dangerous cosmetics were also used by women there. Women were using rouge made with mercury. They were also using special hair dye made with lead and sulphur. The dye was designed to give people red hair, the same color as the queen's hair. Over time, the dye made people's hair fall out. Finally, women using this dye ended up bald, like the queen, and had to wear wigs.Summary:Although people have used cosmetics throughout history, not all of them have been safe. In fact, some of them have been quite (71)__________ to people. For example, long ago in Italian (72)__________, people thought women with big pupils were beautiful. Therefore, in the (73)__________ of beauty, women began to put (74)__________ of belladonna in their eyes to make their pupils larger. Today we know belladonna is poisonous, and it can affect the (75)__________ in the body.Part VI Cloze (10 minutes, 15 points)Directions: There are 15 blanks in the passage.

For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onthe Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:Why don’t birds get lost on their long migratory(迁徙的)flight? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they are beginning to fill in the blanks.Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests with artificial(人造的)stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow stars in their long-distance flights.One such bird—a warbler—had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was laced under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.Scientists think that warblers, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But stars are apparently their main means of directed flight in the night. What do they do when stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines and river courses. But when it is too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to find their way.61. Which of the following is NOT true about m igratory bird’s flight?A) Some birds fly mainly by day.B) Some birds fly mainly by night.C) Birds like to fly during daylight hours.D) Birds depend on the sun or stars to guide them.62. What do we know about the experimental warbler?A) It was set free for the experiment.B) It had never flown freely outdoors..C) It had never been placed under the sun.D) It had lost its way in its daylight flight.63. What do we know about warblers as a whole?A) They do not have intelligence.B) They tend to take the same route as other birds.C) They do not need to learn to fly in the right way.D) They cannot sense changes in the position of the moon.64. What does the passage say about warblers’ sense of direction?A) They get lost under star-filled sky.B) They lose their way when it is too dark.C) They are not able to see clearly at night.D) They usually depend on clouds for direction.65. What does “fill in the blanks” in the first paragraph mean?A) “to do the exercise”B) “to take the test”C) “to know the right words”D) “to know the answer”Passage TwoQuestions 65 to 70 are based on the following passage:How men first learned to invent words is unknown. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations — the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the happy and sad events of our past; the more we read and learn, the larger the number of words that mean something to us becomes.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This attractive use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music, and, by their position and association, can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech dull and silly.66. Which of the following did men invent first?A) Words. B) Sounds.C) Signs. D) Letters.67. Why did men invent language?A) To be different from animals.B) To make their ideas known to others.C) To make nice sounds for others to hear.D) To have something to write down with.68.

What is the best title of the passage?A) Language and Its Use. B) Language and Human Experience.C) Poet: A Master of Words. D) How Language Came into Being.Passage ThreeQuestions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:In the 1800s, trains roared into stations. They were symbols of progress and expansion. They played as much of a role in America’s history as presidents and generals.The first American railroads were built in the late 1820’s. The early railroads provided chea p transportation for shippers and travelers. To encourage the railroads to expand into unsettled land, President Millard Fillmore signed a series of landgrant acts(土地拨增法案)in the 1850’s. These acts gave the railroad companies ownership of land that ran along the railways. In return for the land, the railroads carried government traffic at reduced rates. The railroad companies sold much of their land to farmers and cattlemen, who then shipped their goods on the trains.The importance of the railroads became clear during the Civil War. During the war, trains carried troops, arms, and supplies. One reason that the North won the war is that it had more use of the railroads.Between 1865 and 1900, railroads grew rapidly. The first transcontinental(跨越全洲的)route was completed in 1869. This track made easier for pioneers to cross the Rocky Mountains and settle the West. And the railroads brought new people to the West even before the trains started running. Thousands of Chinese and Irish laborers helped to lay down the tracks.71.

What was one of the reasons that the South was defeated in the Civil War?A) The South was short of military supplies.B) Only the North owned railroads and trains.C) The South failed to make good use of railroads.D) The North used railroads to attack the Southern army.74.

After reading the passage carefully, translate the underlined sections into Chinese.Remember to write your translation on the Translation Sheet.Children come to reading in different ways over different periods of time. (76) Still, there is much parents can do to help their kids develop and enjoy a lifelong interest in reading. Start with books that appeal to you. (77) Until you discover what your child likes to read, select books that you loved when you were small and new stories that strike your imagination. Visit your local library and ask the children’s librarian to suggest authors and titles kids love.Make reading routine. (78) To get your child hooked on reading, set aside a regular time each day to enjoy a book together. Fifteen to thirty minutes is fine — or whatever it takes to read a whole story or chapter. That’s enough time to give the young reader a chance to settle down, focus — and enjoy.Make good reading behavior. Your child watches you when you read. (79) If you don’t seemto be enjoying yourself, you’re sending a message that reading isn’t much fun. No matter how tired you are, try not to drone. Put your heart into reading! Let the actor in your emerge! If you sound bored, you can’t expect your child to be interested.Borrow or buy books whenever possible. Get into the habit of taking your children to the library and try to fill bookshelves at home. Give a book for every birthday and holiday. Encourage friends and relatives to do the same. (80) When you go out shopping and your child asks for something, buy a book. They’re cheaper than toys and a far better investment in your child’s future.Part VI Translation from Chinese into EnglishDirections:In this part there are five Chinese sentences, numbered 81 to 85.
