But that doesn’t mean summer camp is out altogether. Fortunately, there are summer camps that will suit almost any teen’s tastes. Besides, many of them provide opportunities to prepare them for their future aspiration.‎ Hollywood Stunt(绝技) Camp A teen who loves adventure and movies may enjoy it. Teens learn a variety of stunts, including how to perform in a fight scene and jump off tall buildings. They also gain the understanding of how Hollywood stars perform a variety of tricks without getting injured. Each camper gets to perform stunts for an original film and participate in a weekly show during one or two-week camp.‎ Kid’s N Comedy Camp Kids between the ages of 10 and 18 can spend two weeks at Gotham Comedy Club in New York city learning about comic acting and stand-up comedy. At the end of the two weeks of day camp, the kids will perform a live show. If you’ve got someone eager to be a comedian, this camp has a lot to offer.‎ Rock Star Camp If your kids want to be musicians, rock star camp may be a fun opportunity to learn and play. Located in Running Springs, California, it provides instruction for artists to help them improve their skills and their performances. All campers return home with a CD of their own music.‎ Camp BizSmart It teaches kids the skills necessary to operate a business. Kids learn about everything from public speaking to negotiation（谈判）. They work together on real-life projects and business cases for 10 days. Each camp session takes place in California.‎ ‎21.

It is aimed at improving kids’ business skills.‎ B. Participants will run a business after the camping.[]‎ C. It is aimed at kids aged 11 to 15.‎ D.

Parents.‎ B When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d biked up to her doorstep, there’d be a cold drink waiting. I’d sit and drink while she talked.    Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband. “Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning.” She’d say. The first time she said that, soda went up my nose. I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地).    I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser(募捐活动). She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.    I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “fine”, she sticks around to hear my problems.‎ ‎ She’s lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen. 24. Why did soda go up the author’s nose one time?    A. He was talking fast        B. He was shocked    C. He was in a hurry          D. He was absent-minded 25. Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley according to paragraph 3?    A. He enjoyed the drink         B. He wanted to be helpful    C. He took the chance to rest     D. He tried to please his dad 26. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “work it out of her system”?    A. recover from her sadness          B. move out of the neighborhood    C. turn to her old friends             D. speak out about her past 27. What does the author think people in a community should do?    A. Open up to others                 B. Depend on each other    C. Pay for others’ help                D. Care about one another C More and more people come to realize that negative self talk and negative energy can affect in many ways and cause you additional stress. Because of this, developing more positive self talk is an important way to reduce stress in your life. You can help yourself maintain a positive frame of mind, which will help with positive self talk by surrounding yourself with positive energy in your life. You can get that by adding some elements to your life.‎ Listening to music that not only has a pleasant melody, but an uplifting message, can be great for developing positive self talk. Have you ever had a song “stuck in your head” for a few hours or days, the lyrics repeating themselves in your mind? If those lyrics were positive and inspirational, that would be a good thing. It’s a much better mental soundtrack to have than a running stream of complaints, criticisms of self-limiting thoughts, or even songs that had more depressing or sad lyrics.‎ Books on strength, personal power, enlightenment, or self help can be good resources to help you change your outlook and the things you say to yourself. Rather than bringing habitual self-defeating thoughts, you can find yourself thinking of new can- do concepts when times get tough.[]‎ One of the most important ways you can get and keep positive energy in your life is with the company you keep. Do your friends uplift you, or bring you down? Are they critical, or approving? Ideal friendships provide support when you’re down, fun when you’re up, wisdom when you’re lost. Good friends can inspire you to reach greater heights, and see your strengths even when you don’t always. Pay attention to how your friends make you feel, and if they’re less than supportive, start putting your energy and time toward people who are better suited to be your friends.‎ In addition, positive affirmations(肯定) can certainly change your self talk from negative to positive. Now, why not begin working positive affirmations into your life in some creative ways?‎ ‎28. What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ A. Adding some colorful elements to your life.‎ B. Changing your self talk with positive affirmations.‎ C. Getting positive energy from the company you keep.‎ D. Reducing stress by surrounding yourself with positive energy.‎ ‎29. If you have something “stuck in your head”, you’ll probably_______.‎ A. be developing positive self-talk[]‎ B. regard the lyrics of a song as positive C. keep thinking of this thing all the time D. keep singing the same song for a long time ‎30. According to the passage, your best company should be those who_______.‎ A. uplift you or bring you down B. are supportive when you’re depressed C. provide fun when you’re depressed D. encourage you to do things better ‎31. What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph?‎ A. Some great ways of making great friends.‎ B. How negative self talk influences a person.‎ C. Some creative ways of practicing affirmation.‎ D. How positive self talk reduces stress in one’s life. ‎ D Laws that would have ensured pupils from 5 to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the ‘wash up’. An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.[来源:Z_xx_k.Com]‎ At school the children are taught to add up and subtract (减法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account — let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.‎ Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from 5 to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called “wash-up”earlier this month — the rush to legislation (法律) before parliament (议会)was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.‎ As the Personal Finance Education Group (PFEG) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of 7 to 11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft (透支) as a way of extending their spending power. PFEG predicts that these young people will “find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school.”‎ The UK has been in the worst financial recession(衰退)for generations. It does seem strange that — unless parents step in — young people are left in the dark until they are introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a recent ‎ poll（民意调查）of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents.‎ ‎32. The passage is mainly about _____________.‎ A. how to manage school lessons B. how to deal with the financial crisis C. teaching young people about money D. teaching students how to study effectively ‎33. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that __________.‎ A. the author complains about the school education B. pupils should not be taught to add up and subtract C. students have been taught to manage their finances D. laws on financial education have been effectively carried out ‎34. According to PFEG , ___________.‎ A. it is easy to keep good habits long B. teenagers spend their money as planned C. parents are willing to pay the debt for their kids D. it will be in trouble if the teenagers are left alone ‎35. A poll is mentioned to ___________.‎ A. stress the necessity of the curriculum reform B. show the seriousness of the financial recession C. make the readers aware of burden of the parents D. illustrate some people are strongly against the proposal 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) ‎ ‎___36___. The increasing costs make us doubt whether there’s real value to a college education. Is the thousands of dollars of debt and the time lost for study worthwhile? The answer may lie in the value of a college education and rates of return on investment.‎ ‎ On the financial side, there’s enough data to suggest that on average a college graduate will earn a great deal more than a high school graduate. In America, over a lifetime a college graduate will earn on average about MYM2.1 million compared to ‎ MYM1.2 million for a high school graduate. Compared with the cost of attending a four-year university, about MYM10,000 per year, and even adding the cost of lost working time, __37__.‎ ‎ College graduates have the possibility of increased earning power.__38__. The Institute for Higher Education Policy ever published a report stating that people who finished a college or university program experienced a number of assistant (辅助的)benefits. They included higher levels of saving, improved quality of life, more hobbies and free time activities.‎ ‎ And for well-educated people, they tend to be more open-minded and more cultured.__39__. Many research studies have shown a positive connection between higher education and good health, not only for yourself, but also for your children.‎ ‎ So it appears that there’s really much value in a college education.__40__. Go now!‎ A. They also enjoy other benefits.‎ B. To encourage us to have a high college education.‎ C. Why not go to college and have a high college education?‎ D. It costs a lot to go to college or university.‎ E. It’s clearly of financial value to attend university.‎ F. Some previous research can prove this.‎ G. Besides, college education can even improve your health.‎ 第三部分　语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought 41 . My complaints, even self-justified shouting, were always landing on 42 ears. Very often a whole hour’s scolding would end with their 43 into tears, I felt very frustrated. I realized I needed to 44 my method of “mothering”.‎ ‎ One day when they were at school, I spent some time 45 their rooms. On their desks, in plain 46 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was 47 to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.” 48 arriving back, the children were 49 excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there ‎ was another note from the Room Fairy 50 for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and 51 asking them to play a certain violin 52 . Each day, thank-you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas 53 .‎ ‎ Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little 54 : “If you can finish your homework and 55 your lessons before dinner, I’ d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in 56 of well done jobs the day 57 . ‎ ‎ 58 I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its(贴条). The bathroom mirror became the 59 centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted. ‎ ‎ We all benefited from and 60 the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.‎ ‎41. A. indifferently B. gratefully C. doubtfully D. otherwise ‎42.
