an"s daughter, Lisa Beth, was killed in a summer camp bus accident. Because camp had been such a joy in Lisa Beth"s life,
the Gerstmans wanted to start a foundation in her name. They wanted to bring that same summer camp
joy Lisa Beth felt to other children. When Lisa Beth"s brother, Dan, heard the Cross Island YMCA
(CIYMCA) was looking for funds to help send physically disabled children to summer camp, he knew it
was the perfect way to keep Lisa Beth"s memory alive.
Dan soon learned that many disabled children spent the summer indoors while their ablebodied peers
enjoyed camp. The added costs of onetoone care and specialized busing for the disabled children
prevented them from being able to join in summer camp. The Gerstman family responded to this need
by setting up the Lisa Beth Gerstman Foundation in 2003. Its mission (使命) is to provide children with
physical disabilities the opportunity to attend camps in an integrated (综合的) setting.
During its first summer, the foundation teamed up with CIYMCA and funded 20 physically disabled
kids with varying degrees of disabilities. The children were given the opportunity to experience the joys
of summer camp, build lasting friendships and develop their selfconfidence.
Over the last five years, the Lisa Beth Gerstman Foundation has been partnering with camps that are
willing to launch (发起) integrated programs that include wheelchair accessible transportation, onetoone
swimming instruction, adaptive physical education equipment and training, all in a caring environment
where the children join in all regular camp activities.Last summer, the foundation partnered with six
camps, which allowed a total of 150 physically disabled children to experience summer camp.
B. Lack of enough time
C. No permission from parents.
D. Lack of selfconfidence.
B. To raise money for disabled children.
C. To organize summer camp for different people.
D. To make it possible for disabled children to attend camps.
B. has a history of over 30 years
C. has gained support from camps
D. funded 150 disabled kids during its first summer

举一反三
物). Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that final year students must develop a timetable. If you don"t have a
schedule or plan for studying ,you will have no way of allocating your valuable time when the unexpected
arises. A well
-thought-out timetable can be a lifesaver . It is up to you to learn how to develop a schedule that meets your needs .Change it if necessary ,but most important ,follow it . All timetables should be made
with the idea that they can be changed. A good one will keep you from wandering off course.
A good timetable should make every hour count-every class ,social event and other activity you engage
in .You must focus on the other "free time" available and how you will use it .Make a weekly schedule and
divided each day into one-hour increments .Indicate times for classes ,socializing ,and work time. Also
block off a period for sleeping every day. In the precious hours left over ,plan time for study .This gives
you a rough road map of the time available. Of course ,you can change your schedule as circumstances
need.
The timetable you develop should guide you in how to distribute the available tim
e in the most productivemanner .Sticking to your schedule can be tough ,but don"t dribble away valuable time. Avoiding study is
the easiest thing in the world .It is up to you to follow the schedule you"ve prepared .A good deal of your
success in high school and with any future study depends on this simple truth.
Remember ,there is a learning curve. You learn the most in the first 30 minutes of study; after that ,it
progressively deteriorates(减弱). After four or five hours of studying the same material in the same way,
you are learning virtually nothing. The solution is to keep switching subjects and study styles.
B．Keep to it ,and you will succeed
C．Make a schedule ,and follow it
D．Learn to love your timetable
B．Significance of a scientific timetable.
C．Requirements for making a timetable.
D．Importance of following one"s schedule.
B．it is flexible
C．it is of many periods
D．it can save our time
B．devote to the same material continuously
C．turn to teachers for help if necessary
D．have a break every thirty minutes
University accommodation(住所)offices
Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords(房东). Others also
provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations.The advantage of using
your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have a problem.The
disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students.
Property papers：Loot and Renting
Loot is an important source( )of information about private housing for corenters.The offers are from
private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other corenters.They also have a website：
www.loot.com.The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains.The disadvantage
is that there is no quality control over the offers.
Renting is another useful paper.The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies.
Their website is at www.renting.co.uk.
Accommodation agencies
The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation
agencies.The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number
of accommodations.A good agent will listen to your requirement and can save you time in looking for the
right accommodation.The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.
Noticeboards
Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be
posted.These will either be from landlords or from students.Some universities will also have online
noticeboards where students can advertise to other students.Advertisements from students can be an
excellent way to find accommodation.However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.
Word of mouth
Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students
to another by word of mouth.It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students.
However, don"t suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.
Family
Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider
buying as an alternative.In some cases this might be a good choice.
1. What is the advantage of using Loot?
A. It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.
B. It gives you personal information about other corenters.
C. Their website is designed mainly for students.
D. There are some good bargains.
2. A good agent can help you________.
A. know more people
B. find cheap accommodation
C. get the right accommodation quickly

3. The information passed on by word of mouth is important because________.
A. it is better than that found through any other source
B. it helps you find some of the best housing never advertised
C. the final year students always offer better information
D. the landlords have little valuable information
4. For students going to London for the first time, which of the following provides the most reliable
information?
A. University accommodation offices.
B. Loot and Renting.
C. Noticeboards.
D. Family.
granted, we often don"t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number
of people, 1 .
Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”. In all cases, two
people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between
them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly.
At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to
know people, 2 . Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have
a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.
Then, 3 . Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than
ordinary friends. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the
wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty making friends. A friendly look with a wrong facial
expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness.
Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the
same ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests. The more closely involved people become, the
more they depend on each other. And 4 . Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each
other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinions.
In contrast with marriage, 5 . But the support and understanding that results from shared
experiences and affections does seem to create a close and lasting relationship.
A. we are usually friends with only a few
B. many factors can affect friendship and relationship
C. people want to do friends favors and hate to let them down
D. argument and discussion can improve personal relationships
E. we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, etc.
F. we pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks
G. there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people
the desire to rewrite，it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage.
I am surprised at the number of famous writers I know who say that they so dislike reading their own
writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers" opinions.One reason we may dislike reading
our own work is that we"re often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very thin and plain
when first written down.Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our
minds work.
Different from popular belief，we do not usually think in the words and sentences of ordinary
language but in symbols for ideas (known as‘mentalese’)，and writing our ideas down is an act of
translation from that symbolic language.But while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a
complex tapestry (织锦)，writing can only be composed one thread at a time.Therefore it should not be
surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple.It is only by repeatedly rewriting
that we produce new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds.
When people write as if some strict critics (批评家) are looking over their shoulder，they are so
worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start.Peter Elbow makes an
excellent suggestion to deal with this problem.When writing we should have two different minds.At the
first stage，we should see every idea，as well as the words we use to express it，as wonderful and
worth putting down.It is only during rewrites that we should examine what we excitedly wrote in the first
stage and check for weaknesses.
1. What do we learn from the text about those famous writers?
A. They often regret writing poor works.
B. Some of them write surprisingly much.
C. Many of them hate reading their own works.
D. They are happy to review the publishers" opinions.
2. What do people generally believe about the way human minds work?
A. People think in words and sentences.
B. Human ideas are translated into symbols.
C. People think by connecting threads of ideas.
D. Human thoughts are expressed through pictures.
3. What can we conclude from the text?
A. Most people believe we think in symbols.
B. Loving our own writing is scientifically reasonable.
C. The writers and critics can never reach an agreement.
D. Thinking and writing are different stages of mind at work.
