Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.

There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas that they live.

When you are on a bicycle, you have the advantage of being able to stop whenever you want to catch sight of (看见) an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode (方式) of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.

There are many choices of hiring (租) a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.

A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.

1.You’d better not drive in a car on Gold Coast because.

A. you will break the traffic rules

The islands of Malta and Gozo are brilliant for a family holiday, packed with fun places to visit whatever your children’s ages. The islands’ small size means everywhere is within easy reach.

Sandy beaches and swimming spots

One of Malta’s best beaches for families is soft-sanded, sheltered Golden Bay. Older children can try activities such as stand-up paddle boarding, sailing or windsurfing, while the gentle slope of the beach makes it easy for younger kids to safely paddle in the sea.

Eating out

Children are welcome at most restaurants, though more upmarket places often only accept older kids. There are often kids’ menus that tend to offer pizza, but you can always ask for a half portion of a starter dish (portions are huge in Maltese restaurants). With a wide range of cuisines on offer, children are bound to find something they’ll like, Maltese food is strongly influenced by Italian cuisine, so there’s pizza and pasta galore, and some kids will love the national dish-fried rabbit

Accommodation

Try to schedule at least a few days on Gozo as there are lots of self-catering farmhouses with pools to rent and it’s even easier to get around than Malta. Smaller hotels in Valletta usually only accept older children.

Transport and other tips

高二英语七选五中等难度题查看答案及解析

Family fights are never pleasant. Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least that’s what we have learned to expect.

What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts could be turned into opportunities to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared for and loved?

Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emotions can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.

In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each other because they’re not being listened to. It’s totally unconscious. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. But you always seem to forget the person you’re fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and you will earn your turn to be listened to.

And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional situations is to forget most of the words because many people can’t express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they are upset.

But if the situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on it at a better time.

This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is conflict. Emotions will be understood and respected, and it will bring your family closer together.

1.From the first 3 paragraphs, we can conclude that ________.

A.people had better avoid family fights.

B.family members fight to control each other

C.family fights can be changed into something positive

D.when family members fight, it’s worse as they know each other’s weakness

2.In the author’s opinion, the key to dealing with family fights is to ________.

A.satisfy the need to be listened to first

B.make sure that you’re the first to be listened to

C.pay no attention to what others say in emotional situations.

D.stop quarrelling when you feel you are giving orders

3.When the situation gets out of control, it’s best to ________.

A.wait for a suitable moment to speak B.let the other person express their feelings

C.work on a written agreement first D.move on to problem solving

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.

1.We can learn from the passage that “charades” ________.

A. is a computer game

B. is too difficult for children

C. involves acting out words

D. should be played by more than four people

2. What is the best title to be put in the blank of part two? ____________.

Disney movies are fun. But have you ever thought that each movie offers great life lessons about things like patience, willpower, kindness and tolerance?

To prove it , we have listed great quotes(引语) for kids from famous Disney characters:

It’s good to laugh at yourself when you make a mistake, which can help you feel more relieved. Next time you make a mistake, don’t worry, just do what Mickey Mouse does: “To laugh at yourself is to love yourself”.

---Mickey Mouse

Everyone experiences adversity, the trouble you might face in your life. Never allow yourself to become upset by adversity. It is a time for growth, and shaping who you are. “The flower blooming in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.”

---The Emperor, Mulan

The phrase, “Walk in someone else’s shoes,” ---Pocahontas, means trying to see things from someone else’s point of view, feeling how they feel, and understanding the struggles they face. This is what is known as empathy(同情)and having more of it would reduce things like bullying(欺凌), war and prejudice. Then the world would be a better place.

Have you noticed people put value on things because of their look? Sometimes, we might ignore a book because we dislike the cover, or not buy a toy because we don’t like the box it comes in. though the inside might be something amazing, we pass it by because the outside wasn’t what we were looking for. Often we judge people this way too. This is unfortunate because we could be missing out on a great friendship. Here’s what the movie Aladdin says about this: “Do not be fooled by its common appearance. Actually, it is the inside that counts.”

1.Why is it good to laugh at yourself when making mistakes?

A. Because it can cover your anxiety.

B. Because it is beneficial to your health.

C. Because it can help correct your mistake.

D. Because it can help others better understand you.

2.Whose quote means great social benefit?

A. Mulan’s.

B. Aladdin’s.

C. Pocahontas’s.

D. Mickey Mouse’s.

3.Who is the passage intended to be written for?

A. Children.

B. Parents.

C. Teachers.

D. Audiences.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. The meaning of watching Disney movies.

B. The plots and characters of Disney movies.

C. Some famous and interesing Disney movies.

D. Life lessons and quotes from Disney characters.
