What do you remember about your childhood? I have good memories of exploring(探测) the fields near my house and riding my bike around the park. Today, children don’t spend enough time in the fresh air. Many of them fix their eyes on a screen either on a computer, or a TV ---they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.

Now 400 organizations in the UK are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to exchange at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. The simple pleasures of exploring and discovering nature help children to learn and keep fit too. Andy Simpson, who is part of the campaign(倡议活动), says: “An extra 30 minutes of wild time every day for all under 12-year-olds in the UK would be the equivalent(同等) of just three months of their childhood spent outdoors.” Even if the kids live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park. However, children often need a helping hand from Mum and Dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go.

So despite(尽管) the complex(复杂的) world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground ” is what modern children need. Andy Simpson adds: “We want parents to see what this magical “playground” does for their kids’ development , independence and creativity(创造力) , by giving wild time a go ” . David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted. ”

1.What does the author think about the present kids?

A. They depend on their parents too much.

B. They’re eager to play with their parents.

C. They spend too much time playing outside.

D. They don’t get close to nature.

2.In the first paragraph, the underlined word “virtual ” probably　 refers to ______________ .

A. magical　　 　　 B. perfect　　 　　 C. unreal　　 　　 D. wonderful

3.What suggestion does David Bond give us?

A. Prevent kids from playing computer games.

B. Help children master basic skills.

C. Teach kids how to face difficulties.

D. Let children have more wild time.

4.What do we know about the author?

A. He disliked his childhood full of study and exams.

B. He had a happy childhood by exploring the outdoors.

C. He often went to school by riding on a bicycle.

D. He showed a great interest in watching TV.

I hardly have any good memories of my summer holidays two years ago. All I can remember is that I was busy doing drugs with my friends for most of the time. I said to myself that I would give up drugs before I went back to school，but when school started I was still addicted to them.

I went back to school like the other students but I had become a very different person. Most students came back to school with smiles on their faces，but not me. I became a different person that didn't care about anything but drugs. It was like I was walking around in a different body.

I went from being an above average student to a really bad student. I started to do things that I never thought I would do before -like bullying（恐吓）students，and fighting with people just because they looked at me in the wrong way. I rarely smiled or played sports like I used to. I was always moody and angry with my friends and teachers. I started to skip school（逃学）once or twice a week. No one seemed to care，so I was soon absent nearly everyday. I started stealing money from my parents and I lied to other people just to get some money for drugs. When my parents found out that I stole their money and sold their jewellery, they got really angry. I started to hang out with my drug addict friends for days and nights without going back home. I even slept by the side of the road and woke up without caring what people would think about me.

Now I have changed a lot. Drugs are terrible. Stay away from them.

1.Two years ago when the summer holiday was over, the author 　　　　 .

A.made many good friends B.was busy doing his school work

C.kept doing drugs D.gave up drugs

2.When the author was addicted to drugs, he 　　　　 .

A.went to school as usual B.became a top student in his class

C.didn't play sports as before D.liked to sleep by the side of the road

3.From the passage we can infer that once a person is addicted to drugs, 　　　　　　 .

A.it is difficult to give it up B.it is easy to get rid of it

C.it has no influence on his life D.it will be easy for him to steal money

Stamp collecting is easy when you do it as a hobby. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on it. Sometimes stamps can be got from many sources (来源) for free.

Getting Started

If you have no stamps at all，you might want to buy a packet of 500 or 1,000 different worldwide stamps from a hobby shop or stamp dealer to get started. One good choice is eBay. Try entering phrases like “worldwide stamps” in the search box. However，even if you want to specialize in collecting stamps，my advice is not to spend much money on stamps in the beginning. Start off collecting stamps from many sources for free until you have collected enough stamps and had enough experience.

Sorting Stamps

Assume(假设) you have some stamps and they are on paper. Before you take them off the paper，you should sort the stamps，for example，by country. This is because dealing with stamps is much easier when they are on paper. When you take them off the paper，they become easy to bend，crease，and tear easily.

Trimming(修剪)Stamps

Never try to take a stamp off its paper backing by pulling at it，even if it appears to be loose enough to do so. First，trim the paper around the stamp with a pair of sharp scissors making sure not to cut off the edge of the stamps. I suggest that you leave a quarter inch safety area from the edge of the stamp when you trim the paper before you are good at doing it.

1.This passage is written for people who________.

A. have no money to collect stamps

B. want to sell their stamps

C. want to collect stamps

D. don’t know how to sort stamps

2.According to the writer，at the very beginning，stamp­collecting beginners shouldn’t________.

A. collect common stamps

B. borrow some stamps from their friends

C. act as an inexperienced collector

D. spend a lot of money in buying stamps

3.What does the writer suggest NOT do when trimming stamps?

A. Pull at them to take them off the paper backing when they look loose.

B. Trim the paper around the stamp with a pair of sharp scissors.

C. Leave a quarter inch safety area from the edge of the stamp.

D. Make sure not to cut off the edge of the stamps.

Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.

When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.

Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”

Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.

When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight.

In my thirty years as a time management speaker, I have observed (观察) a lot of what we can not and should not do to increase our daily results. Time management is not necessarily working harder, but rather smarter.

A lot of our time management has to do more with what we are not doing rather than what we are doing. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are some time management mistakes we should all avoid to help us increase our daily efficiency:

Start your day without a plan of action. Without a plan, you will have worked hard but may not have done enough right things. Time management is not doing the wrong things more rapidly. That just gets us nowhere faster. Time management is doing the right things.

Work with a messy (凌乱不堪) desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day in looking for things. That’s seven and a half hours per week. If you have ever visited the office of a top manager, you can easily find that he or she is working with a clean desk environment.

Don’t take a lunch break. Many people do not take a lunch break. They work through that time period in the hope that it will give them more time to finish the task. Studies have shown that it may work just the opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, our mind will become boring. A lunch break, even a fifteen-minute break, gives us a chance to get our batteries all charged up again.

1.With a plan of action, you can ______.

A. work harder

B. do the wrong things more rapidly

C. avoid doing wrong things

D. get nowhere faster

2.Working with a messy desk or work area, you will ______.

A. waste a lot of time

B. find the things you need easily

C. become a top manager

D. save seven and a half hours per week

3.The text mainly tells us ______.

A. how to avoid wasting time

B. we should get our batteries all charged up

C. how important time management is

D. some time management mistakes
