Today,we are told,children don’t spend enough time in the fresh air.Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV—they seem to be living in a virtual world.They have lost touch with nature.
But now 400 organizations in the UK,from playgroups to the National Health Service,are encouraging children to have some“wild time”.They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside.Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, rummaging for conkers and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city,they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.
Children often need a helping hand from mum and dad.They need to be shown what to do and where to go.Andy Simpson from National Health Service says,“We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development,independence and creativity,by giving wild time a go”.
So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now,it seems that going back to basics and experiencing“nature’s playground”is what modern children need.David Bond from Project Wild Thing says,“We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine,freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted”.
This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe,like me,it’s made you think about sticking on your boots,getting outdoors and reliving your childhood.There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself!

试题分析:如今孩子们大都迷恋于电视或者电脑,而在户外的时间越来越少,他们失去了与大自然亲密接触的机会。在本文中作者提出鼓励孩子有“wild time ”,去进行一些户外活动,比如捉迷藏、爬树等等。而且提出这些改变都需要父母的帮助。
小题1:A文章开头提出现在的儿童迷恋于电脑、电视而缺少足够的户外时间,然后在第二段提出“wild time”这一概念,由此展开行文,所以文章中心内容是关于wild time,故A选项内容更能体现文章中心,答案选A。
小题2:D细节理解题。根据文章第二段作者提出的一些活动They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside.Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, rummaging for conkers and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do.可知D选项不是作者鼓励要做的事情。
小题3:B根据文章第三段Andy Simpson 所说的,“We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development,independence and creativity,by giving wild time a go”.可知户外活动时间是对孩子们的成长有好处的,答案选B。
小题4:A本段开头提出,it seems that going back to basics and experiencing“nature’s playground”is what modern children need.“不管孩子成长的社会多么复杂,让孩子们接近大自然都是现代儿童所需要的”,然后用David Bond的话进一步来证明wild time的必要性,由此可知A选项内容更能体现现代儿童需要wild time这一中心,答案选A。
小题5:D细节理解题。根据文章末段There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself!可知享受户外玩耍时间没有年龄限制,故答案选D。

Reseachers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately juage 90 percent of a stranger"s personality simply by looking at the person’s shoes.“Shoes convey useful information about their wearers,’’the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality.
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style,cost,color and condition of someone’s shoes.In the study,63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study’s participants.Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes,and then filled out a personality questionnaire.
Some of the results were expected:People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes,and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people.However,some of the more specific results are strange enough.For example,“practical and functional’’ shoes were generally worn by more “pleasant" people,while ankle boots were more linked with ‘‘aggressive’’ personalities.The strangest of all may be that those who wore‘ ‘uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them,you may suffer from “attachment anxiety",spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal(主张变革的)types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities,but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities.

A shopping center is a place where many different shops and stores are collected under one roof. You can buy everything there and there are also banks, restaurants and, sometimes, a post office.
There are other places in the United States which are called five-and –ten-cent stores because they used to sell things for 5 to 10 cents. Today they sell almost anything and some of the things cost several dollars. Supermarkets are found in all the cities. They sell food and many other goods.

Or he will fall asleep on the shoulder of the stranger       next to him.       place where unplanned short sleep       is in the lecture hall where a student will start snoring(打鼾)so       that the professor has to ask another student to       the sleeper awake. A more embarrassing(尴尬)situation happens when a student starts falling into sleep and the       of the head pushes the arm down off the       , and the movement causes the       of the body to move together and finally he falls down to the floor. The student wakes up on the floor with no       of the reason for getting there. The worst time to fall asleep is when       .

You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it.You do not need to be strong.But you need to be quick.And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.
First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat.The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.
Let"s start with the wind blowing from behind.This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction.Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat.It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat.Then it will catch the wind best.
If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat.In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat.It should be at a 45° angle to the boat.It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn"t flap (摆动).It shouldn"t look like a flag on a flagpole.If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.
Sailing against the wind is not possible.If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop.You may want to go in that direction.It is possible, but you can"t go in a straight line.You must go first in one direction and then in another.This is called tacking.When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.
小题1:What should you consider first while sailing?
A.Sailors" strength. B.Wave levels.
C.Size of sails. D.Wind directions.
小题2:What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The boat. B.The sail.
C.The wind. D.The angle.
小题3:What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?
A.Move in a straight line. B.Allow the sail to flap.
C.Lower the sail. D.Tack the boat.
小题4:Where can you probably find the text?
A.In a popular magazine. B.In a tourist guidebook.
C.In a physics textbook. D.In an official report.

Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced in the meantime.A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can     swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water.He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still       away.A mother who has not      the words or years can teach her daughter the poem that begins " Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or        the story of Cinderella or Snow White .
One explanation is the law of over learning, which can be stated as following:        we have learned something, additional learning increases the        of time we will remember it.In childhood, we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them.We continue to listen to and        ourselves of poems such as "Twinkle.twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White.We not only learn but
      
The law of over learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination.      it may result in a passing grade, is not a        way to learn a school course.By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is       soon to forget almost everything he learned.A little over learning,       , is usually a good investment toward the future.
