The students’ life today can be very stressful (紧张的). They are under much pressure every day. They need a break from it. Parents should allow children to do something they are interested in, because a hobby is the best way to help them feel relaxed.
There are many different kinds of hobbies. Chess is a good example. It is a very enjoyable game and it also helps children develop their thinking skills.
Collecting something is also a good hobby for children. A child can collect almost anything: key rings, stamps, postcards, old coins, etc. Many of these collecting can be both interesting and fun. Besides, gardening (园艺) is also a useful hobby because it is a physical activity and it can teach children about nature.
A hobby can be a useful learning tool. Children may become good at something if they really love their hobbies. Hobbies will also teach children a lot about responsibility(责任).

Has such a scene ever come to your mind? You’re sitting in the hot sunshine beside the swimming pool of your international hotel, drinking your expensive whisky. In front of you is the beach, only for hotel guests. Around the hotel are fancy international restaurants.

Nowadays, many of us try to live in a way that will harm the environment as little as possible. We recycle our newspapers and bottles, we take public transport to get to work. And we want to take these attitudes on holiday with us. This is why ecotourism(生态旅游) is becoming more popular all over the world.
Everyone has a different idea about ecotourism, but most people agree that ecotourism must: protect the wildlife and culture of the area; do no harm to the nature; offer an experience that tourists want to pay for.
So, for example, in a true ecotourism project, tourists stay in local(当地的) houses with local people, not in specially built hotels. They travel on foot, by boat, or bicycle so that there is no pollution. And they have a special experience that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
This type of tourism can only involve(涉及)a small number of people, so it can be expensive. And if you want to have an “eco” holiday wherever you go, remember these basic rules:
• Be prepared. Learn about the place that you’re going to visit. Find out about its culture and history. Think of your holiday as a chance to learn something.
• Have respect for the local culture. Wear clothes that will not annoy people. Always ask permission before you take a photograph. Remember that you are a visitor.
• Don’t waste resources. If the area doesn’t have much water, don’t take two showers every day.
• Stay in local hotels and eat in local restaurants.
But before you get too excited, think about how you are going to get to your dream “eco” paradise. Flying often causes air pollution. So don’t forget that you don’t have to fly to foreign places for your “eco” holiday. There are probably places of natural beauty in your own country that you’ve never visited.

A.an introduction B.imagination C.a story D.advice
2.If you want to have an “eco” holiday, you are supposed to do the following EXCEPT ______.
A.taking photos when you are allowed to B.saving resources

B.international restaurants and hotels have a lot to do with ecotourism
C.choosing holiday places that don’t need air travel can be a part of ecotourism
D.people can only travel to places in their own country to have an “eco” holiday

A.How to Choose Holiday Places B.The Advantages of Tourism

Knowing yourself is beyond(超过) figuring out your favourite colour or favorite subject in school. Knowing yourself is the process(过程) of understanding yourself on deeper levels inside yourself than the surface. You do not get to know yourself simply by growing up. So how can you get to know yourself better?
First, understand your own personality is the first key. Who are you in your private moments as well as in our public ones? Understand what makes you react a certain way in different situations. Ask yourself “Why did I do that?” and answer it. You also need to know about your personal values. What is most important to you? Which values can you never compromise(妥协)? Honesty or love? Next, get to know your body, including your abilities, limits and flexibilities(适应性). Have you ever said “I can’t do this” without even trying a physical challenge? Before you close the door to wonderful possibilities, take another look. Your dreams and hopes create the pathway into your future. Start getting to know your dreams well. If you want to become a musician, ask yourself: What instrument do you want to play? What level of proficiency (精通) do you want to learn? Make your dreams part of your daily pursuits(追求). Take them seriously. Work at them. Last but not least, you should take the time to find out your likes and dislikes. It takes courage to do so. But knowing this about yourself gives you a lot of confidence about who you are.
Overall, write down the things that really matter to you. Hopefully, you’ll get a clearer idea of the type of person you are.
1.Knowing yourself is the process of ______.
A.growing up and growing old B.figuring out your favourite things

You want to run across the street to catch the bus which is leaving soon? But wait! You’ d better not. If a policeman sees you, you’ll have to pay a fine （罚款）. New traffic laws say that if people cross the street when the light is red, they can be fined as much as 50 yuan.
Traffic accidents killed more than 104,000 people in China last year. Chinese cities have more cars than ever. Drivers and pedestrians must work together to make the streets safer. The law has new rules for drivers. Drivers have to slow down when they are close to crosswalks (人行横道). If people are in a crosswalk, cars must stop to let them pass.
___▲___ If bus drivers smoke, drink or make phone calls while driving, they can be fined. Buses that carry too many people are also against the law.
Pedestrians will have to walk more safely under the new law. They must cross streets at crosswalks. Also, they shouldn’t climb over the fence s along streets.
Do you bike to school? It’s not a good idea to carry classmates on the back. You could be fined 50 yuan. And stay in the bike way when you’re riding. The big roads are for cars and buses.
Do you like to ride your uncle’s motorbike? When you put on your helmet（头盔）, ask him to put one on, too. People on motorbikes must wear helmets, the new law says. If they don’t, they’ll have to pay 200 yuan.
Do you ride in cars often? Don’t forget to put on your seat belt, even if you’re going for a short taxi ride. It could save your life.
If you see a hit-and-run （肇事逃逸）, tell the police. They may give you thanks. And don’t be afraid to help to send people to the hospital if they are hurt in an accident. Don’t worry about money. The new law says that doctors must take care of them even if they can’t pay right away.
