The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more. There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas where they live. When you are on a bicycle, you have the strength of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter way of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car. There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too. A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once.

You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Maybe your friends from middle school are going to a different high school. Even if you know other freshmen (新生), you still feel nervous that you don’t know any upper-classmen. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces? Most high schools hold a freshman orientation (训练) before school actually starts. These are helpful not only because you learn your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but you also get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces. When you talk to people at orientation, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with your classmates can help you develop friendships. The work in high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learned in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help. High school also has more after-school activities than middle school did, such as clubs, music and theater groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things. Middle school taught you the basics of academics, time management, and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance. High school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible. 1.According to the passage, when they come to the school on the first day freshmen usually feel ____. A.proud B.nervous C.excited D.afraid 2.What are freshmen probably worried about? A.The learning task. B.The ability to make friends. C.The training in the freshman orientation. D.The relationship with teachers. 3.After-school activities mainly help students ____. A.build up healthy bodies B.develop friendships C.develop their interests D.improve their learning ability 4.The last paragraph is mainly about ____. A.what you’ll learn in high school B.what you leaned in middle school C.the difference between middle school and high school D.the importance of being more independent and responsible

I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with praise, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate (准确的) when he stood up. Could he be more intent (专心的) while standing up? This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline (纪律) to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life. Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits (特点) and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way. I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual (个人的) and unique (独一无二的). It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life. 1.At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him _____. A.pay more attention to his study B.keep silent in the room C.finish his homework on time D.get right answers 2.Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt ________. A.the importance of parents B.the old form of education C.the relationship between kids and their parents D.the good grades of some kids 3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is right? A.We should help kids correct their wrong ways. B.Parents should study their kids’ DNA. C.Kids should be taught to behave themselves. D.Parents should love and accept their kids. 4.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A.Study hard and you’ll be successful B.Be friendly to your children C.Children’s success in their own style D.Parents’ help with their children’s study
