Have you traveled much? Where have you been? What did you like most?I went to three cities to play during last summer holidays. They are Beijing, Dalian and HuHehot.I went to Beijing more than eight times. Beijing is the capital of China. It’s a big city. There are many tall buildings in Beijing. It’s a modern city. My family visited the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Palace Museum, the Beihai Park, the Space Museum, etc. I went to the countryside of Beijing to go boating and fishing. It was very interesting. I went shopping in WangFuJing. I bought lots of souvenirs and other things. I like eating Beijing snacks. They are delicious. Don’t mi ss Beijing Duck. It is really nice.Dalian is a beautiful city. Dalian is close to Beijing. I spent 5o minutes on the plane. Dalian is near the sea. I smelled the salty taste in the air. The roads are clean. There are lots of trees and flowers near the roads. There are many esplanades and Japanese buildings. There are some fountains in one of the esplanades. Some people flew kites and walked on the esplanades. We wentto see the beach and the sea. The sea is blue. There were many swimmers in the sea. I lay on the beach to see the sky.Dalian is a very nice place to live.Huhehot is in Inner Mongol. There are lots of large grasslands. The grasslands are endless. The sky is bright blue. There were a lot of horses and sheep. They were running or eating grass. I rode a horse on the grassland. I picked some colourful flowers. We drank the tea with milk. There is a small desert, it was very hot when I walked on it. The sand could sing.These trips helped me open my eyes. Beijing is my favorite.6. What are the positive and negative things about being famous?In the modern society, people may desire to be fame and yearn for glory, wealth, and power that accompany fame. But have we ever thought whether being famous is really good for us?To be honest, being a notable person has many excellent advantages. On one hand, celebrities are usually very rich so they have easier life than other people. They live in comfortable houses ma intained by servants. They do’t have to worry about paying bills, and they can afford the best clothes and drive the latest models of fast cars. On the other hand, famous people can have many supporters and fans. Many fans send letters to express how they admire them. They stand for their favorite persons, even the celebrities have ever done something wrong. All in all, celebrities can own fame, glory, wealth and will be an ideal model for everyone.However, being famous also has its negative side. The biggest problem is that they'll lose freedom. Being famous always means being known to most people. So they can't go shopping, and walking in the park, even they can't go outside without others' help and protect. Another important trouble is that famous people have no privacy. Paparazzi try to photograph them all the time. People stop them in the street, asking for an autograph. Fame exposes everything ofone person to the public. Perhaps that is why someone says that fame is a heavy burden.As far as I'm concerned, fame may be nice but not an easy thing to live with. However, it does not matter whether I'm famous or not. I think , just to do what I want is the happiest thing.That's all. thank you.7.Which famous person would you most like to meet？Why？The foumous people I'd most like to meet is Steve Jobs.我最想见到的名人是乔布斯。

So if we want to be a sucessful man ,we should learn to treasure time.In a word, you will achieve nothing if you waste time.时间就是金钱，大家都知道这一点。

当我们花我们的钱，我们可以有我们自己的努力，但是，虽然我们有很多钱，我们不能买的时候，时间是无价的。

(A)UNDERSTANDING PASSAGESListening T ask 1 Passage oneUntil now, happy parents found themselves ignored by their young rebels, who charged them with being too concerned with money and too anxious to influence the neighbors. Young people thought true success was a matter of self-satisfaction. And self-satisfaction included reaching one's goals and achieving happiness in one's own way without paying attention to rules, duties, or the opinions of others.Most parents found it hard to accept their children's thinking. They themselves had been brought up to respect traditional values; they had also learned to respect money because it was hard to find during their teenage years. They had married in the late 1930s or early 1940s, at atime when it was difficult to give their children a carefree life. A married couple's first duty, therefore, was to think of their children's happiness. If the parents felt tired and unsatisfied, they didn't dare admit it: it was not done. On the other hand, while Mom and Dad were going without things, they expected their children to obey the rules of "nice" manners, and to grow up into adults that make parents proud. These were the very ideas against which the young rebels of the 1960s rebelled.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. According to the passage, what did children think of their parents?2. What was true success according to young people?3. What did most parents learn to do when they were young?4. What did parents think was their first duty?5. What did parents expect their children to be?Key: 1. T 2. F 3. F 4. T 5. TPassage twoMy grandfather lives with us and he's making my life a pain. When I was small he was kind and happy. But now he's always negative and finding fault. I mustn't break in when he's talking. It's not polite. He doesn't like my clothes. "Nice girls don't dress like that." I shouldn't wear make －up. "Existing beauty is best." Sometimes he disturbs my homework. "When I was young we used to do maths differently," he says. Honestly, he's so old he doesn't know anything. But that doesn't stop him from finding fault with me. He doesn't like my friends or my favorite records. "You're making too much noise," he calls, "I can't get to sleep." When he's not being negative, he asks questions, "Where are you going? Where have you been? Why aren't you helping your mother?" He thinks I'm six, not sixteen. Anyway, why can't I do what I like? It's my life, not his. Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.6. What is the talk mainly about?7. What does the speaker's grandfather think she should do?8. Why does the speaker's grandfather sometimes disturb her homework?9. When does the speaker's grandfather stop being negative?10. Why does the speaker's grandfather never stop bugging her?Key: 6. F 7. F 8. F 9. T 10. FPassage threeDavid Brown and Ann Ramos are two patients participating in the Adult Day Care Program at Mercy Hospital.David Brown is seventy-two years old. He's friendly and likes to talk. He lives with his wife in a small flat in the city. But David is becoming forgetful. His wife says, "He'll heat up some soup, then forget to turn off the cooking equipment." She is sixty-one and still works. She's worded about leaving her husband alone by himself.Ann Ramos is eighty and lives with her daughter, who is sixty. Her daughter says that she needs a break. "Mom follows me everywhere. She follows me from room to room when I clean. She sits down next to me when I read the newspaper. She even follows me out of the house when I take out the refuse. I need a break and she does, too."And so, several times a week, David and Ann's families take them to the Adult Day CareCenter. Many hospitals now offer this program.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. Who are David Brown and Ann Ramos?12. What does the speaker say about Ann Ramos?13. What's wrong with David?14. How often do David Brown and Ann Ramos go to Mercy Hospital?15. What can we learn about the Adult Day Care Program?Key: 11. T 12. T 13. T 14. F 15. FTask 2Passage oneWhen I was a child there were some people whose ideas I respected. My uncle John, I thought, knew everything about the world; he had traveled and seen all there was to see. I believed anything he told me about places like Japan, Australia and America. When I was 16 years old I got the idea that my parents, while they were very nice people and I loved them, really didn't know very much. I, of course, knew everything. Then, when I was 18, I realized my mother and father had learned a lot in just two years. I now respected their opinions on different subjects. It took two years of growing up for me to realize that they had had these opinions and ideas all the time.Key：1 A 2 B 3 C 4 D 5 APassage TwoNine out often parents hit their children according to a report printed today. But many of them also feel that hitting is wrong. The report also says that parents often do not understand their children's bad ways.Although about nine out of ten parents use hitting as a punishment, half of them feel shame about using it, while the other half do hit their children and think they are right. It seems most parents we talked to hit their children more than once a week and five percent actually hit their children every day.Parents should make more efforts to understand their children; hitting isn't always the best answer if children are bad. If parents tried harder to understand how their children feel and why they act in certain ways, it would be better not to hit them because when a child's acting badly, she/he needs love and attention, not anger and violence.KEY: 6. D 7. A 8. A 9. D 10. CPassage threeWhen my father died, my mother insisted on living by herself. I wanted her to marry again, but she said she wanted to be free. But she didn't depend only on herself at all, you see, because whenever she had any problems she would bring them to me, and she was the kind of person who always made everything difficult, so it never stopped. Paul began to hate her for it, but I was sorry for her, you see; she was so without help... I couldn't just leave her, could I? Paul said I did far too much for her, and she never said thank you for anything, never showed me the kind of love normal mothers show their children. In fact in the end she was charging me with stealing from her. And when Paul heard that he blew up and said that we would never have a proper marriage unless we got away from her. In fact he warned me he would leave me if I didn't leaveher.KEY: 11. C 12. C 13. D 14 B 15. D。
