| Except for the Indians, the earliest backpackers in America were frontiersmen (边疆居民), who walked in the wilderness looking either for necessities such as food and water or for sources of wealth such as fur and gold. For them backpacking was a way of survival or a means of achieving what one day would be called the "American dream". Today, however, many people enjoy backpacking as a recreational activity. Shouldering a pack and leaving behind the world of telephone, television and traffic promise an exciting experience. Testing one"s stamina (耐力) and skills and challenging a sense of one"s place in the natural world can be rewarding. Moreover, backpacking is an activity that can last any length for time and can be enjoyed alone or with friends. Then too, a backpacking trip may be organized within a day or two. The backpacker and his friends have only to decide on their destination and then organize the all-important kit (工具包), whose contents they must depend on throughout their trip. A map, a compass, a flashlight, along with first-aid equipment, food, and extra clothing can be rounded up without much difficulty. Once the backpackers have left word about where they go in a note on the refrigerator door or in a message on an answering machine, they can look forward to an adventure that will lift the spirit and encourage the soul. Their outing will enable them to return in a short time to the age of technology with the courage and independence of Natty Bumppo, who did indeed belong to the age of the frontier. | |
| 1. The passage mainly discusses _____. | |
| [ ] | |
| A. the early backpackers B. how backpacking started C. important tips on backpacking D. why people of today are interested in backpacking | |

| [ ] | |
| A. it is not so challenging as other activities B. it can help people to establish a link with nature C. it does not require people to decide on a destination D. it is a group activity and can cure a person"s loneliness | |

| 1_____ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It"s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there"s never anything to do during the school holidays. The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. What are you interested in? Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, or making things? 2_____ Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. 3_____ All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you. 4_____ You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That"ll keep you busy for ages. At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret! Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you will spend a lot of time making them. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design. Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? 5_____ So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you"ll think of loads of more interesting things to do! | |

| It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers. "Where are you going?" "Places." "When will you be back?" "Sometime." "Who will you be with?" "People." That means that the days of your children bounding in the front door with the details of their day are over. They are breaking away from you so that they"ll be able to stand on their own as a young adult. Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children"s closeness. Of course you miss those conversations and friendly talks. Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a young adult, they"ll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice. But in order to determine who they are right now they need to separate from you. Your job, however, is to keep them safe-and that requires knowing where they are and who they are with. Let them know clearly that it"s not because you want to dominate their life and control them; it"s because it"s a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another. When they"re home and sit down to eat a meal, sit down with them. You need to open up to them about your life. Tell them of an interesting incident at the office, let them in on a bit of family gossip (闲谈), discuss a piece of news with them. They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of your life. By letting a teen in on your life, they just may let you in of theirs. | |

| Parents should stop blaming themselves because there"s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal. I"ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. "I don"t know what to do with him these days," she said. "He"s forgotten all the manners we taught him." He hasn"t forgotten them. He"s just decided that he"s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor. Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, "I don"t like your dress; it"s ugly." One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home. "Where did we go wrong?" their parents are now very sad. Probably no one is to blame on this issue. | |

| [ ] | |
| A. the change from good to bad that"s seen in a child B. the way that parents often blame themselves C. the opinion that a child has of his parents D. the advice that parents want their children to follow | |
| 3. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters _____. | |
| [ ] | |
| A. pay no attention to them B. are too busy to look after them C. have come to hate them D. feel helpless to do much about them | |
| 4. What is the writer"s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children? | |
| [ ] | |

| I don"t think there is anything wrong with your blood. The key to your problem is that long nap (打盹, 小睡) after dinner. If you didn"t sleep for hours during the early part of the evening, you would be more ready to sleep at bedtime. If you didn"t nap after dinner, you would not want to stay up so late, and you would not feel the need to take a sleeping pill. The pill is still working in your system when you get up in the morning. This helps account for the fact that you feel tired all day. You should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after your evening meal, engage in some sort of physical activity-a sport such as bowling, perhaps. Or get together with friends for an evening of cards and conversation. Then go to bed at your usual time or a little earlier, and you should be able to get a good night"s rest without taking a pill. If you can get into the habit of spending your evenings this way, I am sure you will feel less tired during the day. At first it may be hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill. If so, get up and watch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy. If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later, get up but do not take a sleeping pill. Read a while or listen to the radio, and make yourself a few hours" sleep that night, you will feel better in the morning than you usually feel after taking a pill. The next night you will be ready to sleep at an earlier hour. The most important thing is to avoid taking that nap right after dinner and avoid taking pills. | |

| A. you stay up too late B. you get up too early in the morning C. you take sleeping pills D. you wake up too frequently at night | |
