题型:不详难度:来源:
A long weekend is a great opportunity to do something a little different. Many people use a long weekend for a getaway, a short trip to leave the stress of their everyday lives behind and explore, learn, or relax.
Hotel Romance
Many hotels and resorts feature something special to start the getaway, such as champagne, flowers, or a fruit basket in the room on arrival. Getaway packages usually include a room with something special, a heart shaped bed, for example. Additional benefits could be room service meals or other private dining, plus tickets or discounts for local attractions.
Visit a Spa
Spa getaways can take place at a location that focuses only on spa services or at a hotel that offers a spa as one of its features. Some spas emphasize treatments fit for their geographic area or a local attraction. A spa in a grape growing region might provide grape juice masks, or a hotel near a hot spring could offer mineral baths. Most spas offer a range of massage, health and beauty treatments, so a spa getaway can be relaxing with other benefits.
Learn a Skill
A long weekend may not be enough time to become an expert at something new, but it provides a way for people to begin their explorations. Some organizations offer intensive courses that last two or three days. People with special interests can get away from their routines while learning such things as how to make beer, speak a new language, or take better photos.
Help Others
Some organizations cooperate with businesses to have accommodations (住宿) and activities for short-term volunteers. Most volunteer vacations involve ecology friendly or charity activities. A volunteer getaway is a way to relieve stress and help others at the same time.
Stay in a National Park
For those who want to relax in a rural environment, a national park fits the bill. Most national parks provide camping areas for tents and trailers. Several have cabins (小屋) within the parks available to rent. A getaway to a national park provides privacy, stress relief, and the time to get to know some important natural resources.
小题1:The underlined word getaway in this passage most probably means      .
A.explorationB.locationC.vacationD.activity
小题2: It can be learned from the text that       .
A.spas are offered in the tourist attractions all over the country
B.intensive courses of some organizations help people get away from home
C.helping others at weekend makes people feel free and relaxed
D.people may get close to nature in a national park
小题3:Which of the following can be rented in a national park?
A.Cabins.B.Trailers.C.Camping area.D.Privacy.
小题4:The best title of the passage can be         .
A.Away from Our Busy WorkB.Good Ways to Relieve Stress
C.Enjoy Life and Help OthersD.Long Weekend Getaway Ideas

It was the old lady’s eightieth birthday. She was sure Myra wouldn’t forgot her mother’s birthday, even if she was busy. After all, eighty was a special birthday. Perhaps Myra might come. Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was excited like a child.
Mrs. Morrison had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake. Johnnie, the little boy next door, was now up with her with a packet of sweets.
“I guess you’ll get lots and lots of presents, ” he said. “I did last week when I was six.”
What would she like? A pair of slippers, perhaps. A blue new cardigan. Or a table lamp. Or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things.
She stood by the window, watching. The postman turned round the corner on his bicycle. Her heart beat fast. Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate.
“Granny, granny, ” Johnnie returned. “I’ve got your post!”
He gave her four envelopes. Three were from old friends. The fourth was in Myra’s writing.
“No parcel(包裹), Johnnie?”
“No, granny.”
Almost reluctantly, she tore the fourth envelope open. Folded in the card was a check. Written on the card was a message: Happy Birthday—Buy yourself something nice with the check, Myra and Harold.
The six-figure check fell to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lady bent to pick it up. Her present, her lovely present. With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits.
小题1: As can be inferred from the passage, _______.
A.the old lady lived alone in a flat away from her daughter
B.the friends sent the old lady many lovely presents by post
C.Myra was stopped by her husband from seeing her mother
D.the neighbours cared little about the old lady in daily life
小题2:The old lady felt _______ when she saw no packet came with her daughter’s card.
A.excitedB.happyC.disappointedD.impatient
小题3:Which of the following might serve as the best title for the passage?
A.The PresentB.The CheckC.The BirthdayD.The Daughter
小题4: The reason why the old lady tore the check into small pieces was that _______.
A.she was sure her daughter would come, not the check
B.she didn’t notice there were six figures on the check
C.she didn’t think the check was large enough for a present
D.she would prefer a present with love from her daughter

He"s an old cobbler (修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris.When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: "I haven"t time.Take them to the other fellow on the main street; he"ll fix them for you right away."
But I"d had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). "No," I replied, "The other fellow can"t do it well."
"The other fellow" was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys "while-U-wait" -- without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) ,you might as well just throw away the pair.
My man saw I wouldn"t give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron (围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, "Come back in a week."
I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boot off a shelf.
"See what I can do " he said with pride. "Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work."
When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, an old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his pride in his craft.
These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it "pays", when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period,it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.
小题1:Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?
A.He was equipped with the best repairing tools.
B.He was the only cobbler in the Marais.
C.He was proud of his skills.
D.He was a native Parisian.
小题2:The sentence "He was something out of an ancient legend." ( paragraph 7 ) implies that         .
A.nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him
B.it was difficult to communicate with this man
C.the man was very strange
D.the man was too old
小题3:According to the author, many people work just to        .
A.realize their abilities B.gain happiness
C.make money D.gain respect
小题4:This story wants to tell us that      .
A.craftsmen make a lot of money B.whatever you do, do it well
C.craftsmen need self-respect D.people are born equal

She   38  to help him and pulled and pulled until the child cried out   39_ . But the hand was stuck fast(牢固地). How would they get it out? The father suggested   40  the vase but it was quite valuable and the child’s hand might be cut in the   41 _. Yet he knew that if all else   42  there would be no other alternative.
So he said to the boy, “Now, let’s make one more   43 . Open your hand and stretch your  44  out straight, as I’m doing, and then pull!” “  45  Dad,” said the boy, “if I do that I’ll   46  my penny!”
The boy had had a coin in his hand   47  and was holding it   48 in his little fist(拳头). And he wasn’t   49  to open his hand and lose it. But  50  he opened his hand it came out of the vase easily.
The father said to the boy, “What are you holding onto so tightly as to hinder (阻碍) your walk with God? That vase can be  51  to the entrance to the Kingdom of God. It is narrow yet quite  52   to pass in, but first you must open your hand to God and   53  earthly(世俗的)things to fall. If we keep our fists   54  and hold fast to what we have and keep it for ourselves, we will be unable to   55  hold of the hand of God. Open your hand to the hand of God and you will see great things take place.”

“ What an interesting stitch !” I continued.
