阅读理解。     September can be a depressing month. The summer holidays are over, it"s time to go back to work or
school and Christmas is four months away. However, for some people it"s the perfect time to get away.
     These days more and more people are taking their holidays late in the year and for good reasons.
Holidays in autumn can be cheaper, the resorts are less crowded and the weather isn"t as extreme as it is
in the summer. So, where are the best places to go? Here are our top tips.
     Sardinia (in Italy) has an average temperature of 27℃ in September. It also has "Autunno in Barbagia" (Autumn in Barbagia) a series of festivals that take place in 27 villages in Barbagia, a mountainous
region of inland Sardinia. The festivals continue from September to December, so there"s always something happening. There are street markets, craft workshops and there"s lots of eating and drinking (This is Italy,
after all).
     Dubrovnik Croatia has become very popular in summer but it"s quieter and more pleasant once the
crowds have left. The weather is still warm but less humid. You can take a ferry to the popular beaches
on the islands of Sunj and enjoy it with locals.
     Dahab Egypt, is extremely hot in the summer with temperatures up to 38℃. However, the autumn is
cooler while the sea is still warm. This makes Dahab the perfect place for snorkeling and windsurfing.
There are also interesting historical sites to visit such as the Coloured Canyon, with its dramatic rock
formations, and St Catherine"s Monastery, at the foot of Mount Sinai.
     Kas is a relaxed fishing village on the Lycian coast in southern Turkey. There are plenty of things to do and the temperature has dropped (so you can actually enjoy doing them!) Kas is a good place to stay if
you want to walk part of the Lycian way: a long-distance footpath that stretches for 500km from Fethiye
to Antalya through the ancient land of Lycia. There are also watersports, of course. The best time to go
diving is supposed to be after the first rains of autumn (usually between late September and early October) when the fish become most active.
     Marrakech Morocco is another good destination. The city itself is a fascinating place to spend a few
days. When you have had enough of that, go to Tigmi, a beautiful hill town about 20 kilometers away.
There"s a hammam (a Turkish bath) and a large heated pool, which makes it the perfect place to relax.
     Wherever you go this autumn - have fun!1. Here are the good reasons for people to take holidays in autumn except that _______.A. Holidays in autumn can be cheaper
B. the scenery in autumn is more attractive
C. the resorts in autumn are less crowded
D. The weather is neither too hot nor too cold2. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that _________.A. visitors can take part in a series of festivals in October in Barbagia
B. Barbagia in Egypt is surrounded by mountains
C. the festivals continue from September to November
D. the temperature in Sardinia in September is always below 27℃3. For someone who enjoys walking, __________ is the best choice. A. Kas

We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse. For my grandchildren, I"d know better. I"d really like for them to know about hand-me-down clothes and home-made ice cream and leftover meatloaf. I really would. My cherished boys, I hope you learn humility by surviving failure and that you learn to be honest even when no one is looking. I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in. I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother. And it is all right to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he"s scared, I hope you"ll let him. And when you want to see a Disney movie and your kid brother wants to tag along, I hope you take him. I hope you have to walk uphill with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely. I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books, and when you learn to use computers, you also learn how to add and subtract in your head. May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on the stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole (旗杆). I hope you get sick when someone blows smoke in your face. I don"t care if you try beer once, but I hope you won"t like it. I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your grandpa or go fishing with your uncle. I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through a neighbor"s window, and that she hugs you and kisses you when you give her a plaster of pared mold of your hand. These things I wish for you-tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness.

Saying "thank you" is probably the first thing most of us learn to do in a foreign language. After all, we"re brought up to be polite, and it is important to make a good impression upon other people-especially across national divides. So, what exactly are you supposed to say when "thank you" is only the 20th most popular way to express gratitude? According to a recent survey, 19 other ways of expressing appreciation finished ahead of "thank you" in a poll of 3,000 people. Pollsters(民测调查员) found almost half of those asked preferred the more informal "cheers", while others liked to use such expressions as "ta", "great" and "nice one". So, just what is the appropriate form of words to express your thanks? Fortunately, the clue is in the language itself. "Cheers", despite its popularity, is considered an informal way to say thank you - and this is a definite clue as to when you can best use it. For instance, when going for a drink with friends, a smile and a "cheers" by way of thanks is not only appropriate to the situation, it is also culturally accurate. "Ta", originated from the Danish word "tak", was the second-most popular expression of thanks, and is also commonly used in informal situations, along with phrases such as "nice one", and "brilliant". Interestingly, one word that didn"t make it into the top 20 was "thanks", Thank you is shorter, more informal cousin. "Thanks" can be useful, as it is able to bridge the divide between the formality of "thank you" and the downright relaxed "cheers". Certain words can double as an expression of thanks as well as delight. Again, the words themselves offer the clue as to when best to use them. For example, words like "awesome", "brilliant" and "you star" featured highly in the new poll and they can hint at both your pleasure at someone"s action, as well as serving to express your thanks. If you are on the receiving end of a "new" thank you, you can respond with a simple "no problem", or "sure". Of course, in certain circumstances, a simple wave, nod or smile may be appropriate. For instance, if a car driver slows down to let you cross the road, simply raising your hand in acknowledgement is enough to show that you appreciate the driver"s consideration. Sometimes, formality is necessary, and "thank you" is still the best choice in such situations. But students should not worry about when exactly to use certain expressions. Many people in Western countries are worried that good manners are in decline. People are tired of seeing their acts of kindness and service pass without comment. So don"t think your "thank you" is clumsy or awkwardly formal. The chances are, if you said "thank you", you made someone"s day. You star.
1.We can tell from the results of the poll that _______.
A. people are unconcerned about politeness nowadays. B. "thank you" remains the best expression of gratitude. C. there is a variety of expressions of appreciation. D. there are more formal expressions than informal ones.
2. According to the passage, which is an appropriate response to "awesome" or "brilliant"?
A. Thanks. B. Sure. C. Nice one. D. Cheers..
3. In the last paragraph the author encourages people to .
A. show their gratitude to others. B. behave themselves well. C. continue their acts of kindness. D. stop worrying about bad manners.
4. Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?
A. How to Appear More Polite. B. Ways to Show Gratitude. C. Never hesitate to Say "Thank You". D. Good Manners in Decline!

1 Because, from what I could see, it seemed that grown-ups often forgot. I never wanted to forget - I wanted to be able to remind other adults and myself when the time came. I began consciously thinking this at quite an early age. As soon as I was fully aware of myself, I regarded me as a little person and liked adults who thought of and treated me the same way. I didn"t have a doll and I didn"t want one. I wanted animal toys, even a single animal. Why wouldn"t my parents give me the one thing I wanted? 2 Instead, my dad somehow managed to buy me a full set of encyclopedia (百科全书) and books with maps and color pictures long before I could read. Well, guess what? I learned to read without realizing it! Later, I found out when I started school and it all came so easy especially geography. 3 Because of all the books my father bought me, I knew a lot of words that other children didn"t know at my age. I love words. They opened up new worlds for me. 4 Parents, please make sure your kids have a computer. Let them explore-as safely as possible-let them do their own things and discover the world. Now, most kids lead a happy life. They can get what they want from their parents. But children should learn to be independent. 5 Be independent to do your own things. A. Because of them, I read and thought, and today, I write. B. When I was a child, I promised myself to try to remember as much as I could. C. I listened and heard everything, even if I didn"t understand everything. D. I nearly knew every place on the map like the teacher. E. But more than anything, it made me feel uncomfortable and I knew it wasn"t nice. F. Later, I knew we didn"t have much money, but how expensive could a toy be? G. Be independent to learn some useful knowledge.

Schools are still free to pass the potato. On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate voted to block a proposal (提议) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) would have limited the amount of potatoes and other starchy(富含淀粉的) vegetables served in schools. And those vegetables high in carbohydrates (碳水化合物) would also have been banned from school breakfast. The USDA had wanted to make the changes to the federal school lunch program. The Senate"s amendment (修正案) blocks the USDA from putting any limits on amount of servings of potatoes or other vegetables in school lunches. Senator Susan Collins of Maine, a potato-growing state, supported amendment. "USDA"s proposed rule would have put significant and needless costs on our nation"s school districts at a time when they can least afford it," Collins said. Those in favor of potato limit say that children get enough potatoes already and should be encouraged to try other vegetables. The centre for science in the Public Interest pushed for the restrictions. "USDA"s proposal was about helping kids to eat a very wide variety of vegetables, and I think that opinion has been lost in all this," said the Center"s Margo Wootan, "Other vegetables have a hard time competing with potatoes." The proposed change upset potato growers, who believed potatoes were being unfairly targeted. Some schools have criticized the USDA"s attempt to tell them exactly what foods they can or can"t serve. Critics say the USDA should focus on advising schools on how to prepare the potato instead. Potatoes can be a good source of fiber. Many schools already prepare French fries with less grease (油脂) and serve potatoes in healthier ways. The USDA is expected to release a final list of guidelines for the federal school lunch program next year. Senator Mark Udall of Colorado, another potato-growing state, also supported the amendment that blocked the potato limit. "This amendment seeks to ensure flexibility for schools to provide nutritious and affordable school meals." he said.
1. What is the content of the proposal put forward by the USDA?
A. Reducing the amount of starch vegetables served in schools. B. Reducing the amount of vegetables served in schools. C. Supporting serving potatoes in school. D. Stopping serving starchy vegetables in schools.
2. One reason for blocking the proposal is that_ .
A. the proposal will put needless costs on nation"s school districts B. children who get enough other vegetables for children C. there aren"t enough other vegetables for children D. other vegetables will have a hard time competing with potatoes.
3. Who supports a potato limit according to the passage?
A. Susan Collins B. Critics C. Margo Wootan D. Mark Udall
4. What"s the main idea of the passage?
A. Food supplies in America affect students. B. Potatoes served in school will be limited. C. A project on the students" health is carried out. D. A proposal is blocked by the U.S. Senate
