举一反三
Most of my earliest childhood memories are of the beach — in the hot sun, building sandcastles, burying Dad in the sand.
Now the coast has a pleasant and relaxing attraction beyond words. I look forward to a windy cliff-top walk or a rainy day rock-picking just as much as those rare moments when I get to a short sleep in the sun. But there’s nothing more pleasurable than turning up at a beach to find it deserted.
These are my favourite secret beaches — ones either not well known or take a bit of effort to get to. Most of those listed scored highly in the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide 2009; the others are too secret even for them.
Sennen Clove is just a mile northeast of Land’s End, the westernmost point of mainland England. It’s a beautiful spot, with white sands, deep green sea and amazing sunsets over the Isles (群岛) of Scilly, 28 miles away.
The west-facing beach is popular with surfers, with bigger waves and winds often found at the Gwenver end. There’s a beach restaurant with good views of the bay and the sunsets.
The smallest of Isles of Scilly, Bryher is a mile long, half a mile wide — and a natural wilderness of unbelievable scenery. Walk along the narrow sandy roads to the eastern seaboard and you come to two quiet beaches.
Green Bay has views over to the palm trees of Tresco’s Abbey Gardens, and a little further south is Rushy Bay, a beautiful beach facing the deserted island of Samson.
On Bryher, farm shops sell locally grown produce, and they trust you to leave the money in the pot. It’s that kind of place.
小题1:The best title for this passage is ________.
| A．The Beautiful British Isles |
| B．Secret Beaches on the British Isles |
| C．The Most Pleasurable Place in Britain |
| D．My Experience of Searching Beaches |
| A．The author is a tourist guide in a tourist agency. |
| B．The author likes walking on a rainy cliff-top most. |
| C．The author wrote the article to advertise for the beaches. |
| D．The author loves beaches that are not known to most people. |
(LE="Land’s" End SC="Sennen" Cove IS="the" Isles of Scilly)
小题4:In the author’s view, farmers on Bryher are ________.
| A．sincere | B．selfish | C．courageous | D．mean |
Step 1: Gear up!
Even before you put on your skates, put on all your safety gear（护具）.
Step 2: Buckle up!
Strap（绑紧）on your skates. Make sure they fit well and are snugly（紧贴）around your ankles. This helps your ankles stay strong and straight.
Step 3: Fall down!
You probably do not usually try to fall. But it is good to practice falling on skates. Fall forward onto your knee pads. Put out your hands and let your wrist guards hit the ground. See? Are you surprised that it doesn’t hurt?
Practice falling until it is easy to fall forward and get up again. If you are not afraid to fall, you will try new things. Knowing how to fall will help you be a better skater and find your balance. When you can stay balanced, you won’t fall as much.
Step 4: Stop!
Make sure you can stop on your skates. The quickest and safest is probably the brake stop. The brake is usually on the back of the right skate.
The brake stop:
Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Let your right skate roll a little forward. Bend your knees as if you are sitting down. Then press your right heel down hard. This will make your brake pad drag on the ground until you stop.
The T stop:
Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Then turn your right foot out so the toes are pointing to your right. Drag your right skate. Let the wheels drag on the ground until you come to a stop.
Another way to stop is to run or jump onto the grass.
Step 5: Roll around!
Find a flat, smooth place to practice. Do not skate in streets. Parks and playgrounds are good places to practice. Look for “No skating” signs to make sure you can skate there.
小题1:According to the article, which of these steps are most important for a new skater?
| A．Learn to fall and stop safely. |
| B．Find a class and skate fast. |
| C．Relax and have fun. |
| D．Buy expensive gear and skates. |
| A．skate fast | B．brake | C．fall safely | D．put on gear |
| A．turn your foot |
| B．press your right heel down |
| C．put your wrists out in front |
| D．tighten your skates |
| A．It tells stories about skating. |
| B．It gives descriptions of skates. |
| C．It uses a question-and-answer form. |
| D．It gives step-by-step instructions. |
The Teddy Bear first became popular during the early 20th century and was associated with then President Theodore Roosevelt. The story can date back to a hunting trip that President Roosevelt had taken where he was invited to be the one to shoot a black bear that had been tied to a tree. Being a crazy outdoors lover and hunter, Roosevelt refused to kill the animal because he believed that shooting the helpless bear was unsportsmanlike and wrong. This story quickly spread through newspapers across the country, and in the end inspired the introduction of a stuffed toy called “Teddy’s bear”.
These toys became popular soon after first introduced, and within ten years, they were being produced by dozens of companies around the world. Within a generation, these stuffed bears were “the” toy to have, and have always been within children’s toy boxes ever since.
They are most often mass-produced in factories in order to keep up with the high demand. However, there are still companies that take great pride in their handmade designs; and while handmade teddy bears are often preferred, they are also generally more expensive than their mass-produced ones.
Today, these bears and other similar toys generate well over a billion dollars a year in profits for the companies that make them. Walk through just about any toy store in America and you will find dozens of different teddy bears lining the shelves.
小题1:According to the passage, we can know President Roosevelt ______.
| A．didn’t like hunting |
| B．enjoy being special |
| C．was not brave enough |
| D．was fair and respectable |
| A．don’t sell well |
| B．are of high quality |
| C．are more expensive |
| D．are preferred by adults |
| A．teddy bears are very popular |
| B．toys are loved by many companies |
| C．producing toys can earn more money |
| D．teddy bears are also enjoyed by adults |
| A．History of the Teddy Bear. |
| B．A popular toy — Teddy Bear. |
| C．Who made the first toy bear? |
| D．Profits Teddy Bear have made. |
I learned from his profile that he was in a relationship and had a son. However，I"m pretty sure we won"t ever write wall-to-wall，let alone email each other. But he"ll remain a friend of online until one of us makes a point of removing the other from his official list.
My pool of friends consists of family members，college buddies，coworkers from past and present，and friends of friends. There are 35 in all. If I spent some time uploading old email addresses，I"m confident that I could increase my friend count actually.
A person could make a mission out of reconnecting with childhood friends，former classmates，distant cousins, and those one would like to get to know better. And some people can even handle hundreds of onscreen relationships，keeping up with the daily happenings of their small army of companions. After all，there are worse fates than having too many friends.
Thanks to email，the inability to schedule face-to-face meetings no longer means a friendship must come to a close. But even with email，people will lose touch if one or both parties stop writing back. That’s normal. People move from school to school，job to job，city to city. You never have to feel guilty for breaking away.
Every day，the masterminds of Web 2.0 find new ways of making human communication easier. However，convenience can be a crutch(拐杖)．Some things shouldn"t be simplified. When it comes to friendship，there can be no shortcuts.
