There are many fun, free activities that you can do as a family. All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time set aside for fun. And the best part is that these are the kind of memories a child will remember for a lifetime.

Family game night

Find out any of the games that are already around the house. Kids often get computer games for Christmas or birthdays, and would love to have a chance to play with their family. Or, make up some games of your own. “Charades” is a fun game to play that will challenge a child to use his/her imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words that the other has to act out.

________________________

Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own masterpiece. It doesn't need to be just a drawing -- take some old magazines sitting around the house, let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own montage. Or, use items from nature. Let them use leaves, pine cones（松果）, twigs and whatever else they can find to create something from their imaginations.

Family Picnic

Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn't cost any money. If the weather is nice, take them to a park or playground and let the kids have a day of playing. Or, if it is the middle of winter and a foot of snow is on the ground, set up a picnic in the living room.

Family Field Trip

A family field trip doesn't have to cost a dime. Ask a nearby farm if it would be alright to bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. Or take them to a park and make a scavenger hunt(寻物游戏) where they need to find certain items from nature. Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work -- you might be surprised at the number of people who would be thrilled to share what they do with others, and it could be an interesting lesson for the kids.

Wherever we look, we see advertisements that attract us to buy. In today’s society, we are under pressure to constant shop. Of course, most people only buy what they need and what they can afford. However, there are some people called shopaholics, who can’t control their desire to spend money buying things. This kind of addictive behavior can lead to money problems, family conflicts, and deep unhappiness.

What are the symptoms of a shopaholic? People with this problem often spend hours and hours shopping on the Internet or at the mall. Their closets are full of clothing and jewelry that they have never worn, with the price tags still on them. Their homes may be filled with shopping bags and boxes that they bought but never used. Many shopaholics are aware of their own problems, but when they go to a store, they simply can’t resist the urge to buy. Some of them are ashamed of their weakness and try to hide it by storing their purchases in places like the attic(阁楼), where others won’t see them.

Psychologists think there are several reasons for a shopping addiction. For some people, it is a way of reducing stress. For others, shopping is a way to fight loneliness or depression. For people with less confidence, shopping can be a way that they prove their self-worth. Sometimes the problem develops out of boredom. It replaces other hobbies and interests to help kill the time. Although shopping can temporarily make people feel good. they often feel ashamed and guilty later.

When shopping habits get out of control, people need professional help. They can either see a counselor(顾问) or join an organization such as Shopaholics Anonymous. Groups like this try to help people understand the reasons for their addiction and learn how to control the urge to shop. Their goal is to help people find ways to fulfill themselves rather than lead to serious debt and troubled lives.

1.What are “shopaholics” like according to the passage?

A.They often spend plenty of money in shopping. B.They are proud of spending much money.

C.They are addicted to collecting shopping bags. D.They fail to realize their desire to shop constantly.

2.Why do some shoppers hide their purchases in the attic?

A.They treasure what they have bought. B.They want to give their family a surprise.

C.They are afraid of being regarded as thieves. D.They are ashamed of their own constant shopping.

3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Money. B.Shopping. C.Stress. D.Self-worth.

4.What are groups like “Shopaholics Anonymous” intended to do?

A.To encourage people to overcome their bad feelings.

B.To seek professional help in window shopping.

C.To help control some people’s desire to purchase.

D.To call on more people to get rid of their bad habits.

How old is “old” ?

How old is “old” ?　 1.Two hundred years ago, you were old at 35. That was the average life then. At the turn of this century, as medical knowledge advanced, the average life span(长度) increased to 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old is looking forward to many more active years.

So, how old is old? The answer is one you’ve heard many times, from all sorts of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel!” The calendar(日历) simply tells you how many years you have lived.　 2.

Once an unknown author wrote , “ 3.Nobody grows old by living a number of years; people grow old by giving up their goals.”

4.Alice Brophy, when she was with the New York City commission for the Aging, said, “It upsets me when people say, ‘Gee, you look young for your age!’ What does that mean? Is there some model that you’re supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80.”

There are many wrong ideas about aging.　 5.Here are some of the more common ones. For example, most older people are in poor health, or older people are unable to change.

A.Old is a point of view.

B.It’s extremely terrible to be grown old.

C.The answer has changed over the years.

D.Your body tells you how well you’ve lived.

E.Older people are stubborn, unable to change.

F.Youth is not a time of life but it is a state of mind.

G.These ideas stereotype (固化) people on the basis of age.

There is a Website called the “World Database of Happiness”. It combines and analyzes the results of hundreds of surveys from around the world that have been conducted on life satisfaction. Most of the findings are predictable, but a few are surprising.

The database makes it clear that there is not a strong connection between material wealth and general satisfaction. It is a cliche to say that money can’t buy happiness, but the old saying seems to be supported by research. Many people still believe that gaining riches will be the answer to all their problems, yet they are probably mistaken.

Studies have been carried out on people who got sudden wealth, such as lottery winners. In most cases, after the initial joy had worn off, people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness. In fact, they tended to go back to the way they felt before they became rich.

If material wealth does not bring happiness, then what does? Perhaps happiness has something to do with where you live. The authorities at the World Database on Happiness have surveyed levels of happiness in different countries. Obviously, people in America, Canada, and Singapore are very happy; people living in India and Russia, not surprisingly, are not happy.

Other surveys consistently point to the importance of relationships. Family relationships in particular seem to be the key to long-term happiness. The website suggests that falling in love and having children are two of the situations that bring the greatest happiness.

Nowadays people look to technology as another source of satisfaction. People increasingly spend more time alone watching TV or surfing the Internet rather than spending time with family. Can technology truly make people happy? It is too difficult to tell, but one thing is sure: If the website’s research is right, time spent with your family is a better investment than time spent making money.

1.The Website World Database of Happiness is designed to______.

A.share stories of happiness B.find out the reason for happiness

C.conduct surveys around the world D.tell interviewees how to be happy

2.What does the word cliche(Para.2)mean?

A.Traditional custom. B.Proved theory.

C.Famous report. D.Popular belief.

3.Who is the happiest according to the passage?

A.An unhappy man who has won a lottery in Singapore.

B.A student who has three high-income part-time jobs in India.

C.A mother who stays with her family everyday in America.

D.A Russian falling in love with a soulmate recently.

4.What seems to be the author’s advice about happiness?

A.Levels of happiness vary from country to country.

B.Making money is not the only way to happiness.

C.It is uncertain whether technology make people happy.

D.A good family relationship is the key to lasting happiness.

5.What’s the author’s attitude to technology?

A.Neutral. B.Dissatisfied. C.Supportive. D.Doubtful.

There are many superstitions(迷信) in Britain, but one of the most widelyheld is that it is unlucky to walk under a ladder—even if it means stepping off the pavement into a busy street!

①Walking under a ladder

If you must walk under a ladder you can avoid bad luck by crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed until you've seen a dog. Alternatively, you must lick your finger and make a cross on the toe of your shoe, and not look again at the shoe until the mark has dried.

②Umbrella

Another common superstition is that it is unlucky to open an umbrella in the house—it will either bring misfortune to the person that opened it or to the household. The superstition could date from the old time when its purpose was to act as a sunshade. If opened indoors, it might be considered to be an attack on the sun. Anyone opening an umbrella indoors in fine weather is unpopular, as it inevitably brings rain!

③Number 13

The number 13 is said to be unlucky for some, and when the 13th day of the month falls on a Friday, anyone wishing to avoid an inauspicious event had better stay indoors.

④Seven years bad luck

The worst misfortune that can befall you is caused by breaking a mirror, as it brings seven years of bad luck! The superstition is supposed to have originated in ancient times, when mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods.

⑤Black cat

We talk a lot about air pollution. Here in Hong Kong we always complain about light pollution as well. Then, there is noise pollution. It's the same in many cities around the world. In Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, people have been complaining about/the noise made by drivers who continually sound their car horns(喇). That is until recently, when something was finally done about it.

The Chief District Officer of Kathmandu had received many complaints about horn pollution. He said that everyone felt the use of the car horn in recent years had become excessive. Researchers in Kathmandu found that for about 80 percent of the time, it really was not necessary for drivers to use their car horns. Sounding the horn to make a noise had become more of a habit. It was no longer being used as it was supposed to be used: to warn people of danger.

At the beginning of the Nepali New Year in 2017, the local government passed a law to ban the use of car horns unless used correctly.

Within six months, 11,000 fines(罚款) had been collected by the local traffic police. The e fine was about HK S360. A taxi driver in Kathmandu can make about HK S1, 000 per day, so he could lose about one-third of his money if he broke the law.

As usual, there were many complaints from drivers. They said that cows and dogs were free to walk on the roads. They always caused danger. Sounding a car horn was the only way to get them to move out of the way. And although there were quite a few traffic lights in the streets of Kathmandu, very few of them worked. This meant there was often a traffic mess.

The ban on using a car horn went ahead, and within a few weeks the streets of Nepal's capital were quieter-even though they were still just as busy. Because of the ban, drivers are a little more careful when they drive. Fewer accidents have been reported. The local government says the horn ban will now be copied in other areas of Nepal.

1.What do Hong Kong and Kathmandu have in common?

A.Both have been troubled by factory pollution.

B.Both have succeeded in fighting air pollution.

C.Both have been faced with the problem of noise pollution.

D.Both have received many complaints about horn pollution.

2.What do the Researchers in Kathmandu found?

A.Car drivers usually use car horns unnecessarily.

B.The cars are becoming more and more.

C.Care drivers use car horns as a warning.

D.Everyone complain about the horn pollution.

3.When was the law on the use of car horns passed?

A.In 2016. B.In 2017.

C.ln 2018. D.In 2019.

4.What will you find if you go to Kathmandu?

A.No traffic lights in the streets can work.

B.The traffic on the roads is usually very heavy.

C.Animals are not allowed to walk on the streets.

D.Drivers are required to drive on one-way streets.

5.What can we guess about Kathmandu's horn ban?

A.It is unfair. B.It is worrying.

C.It is interesting. D.It is successful.
