It’s so beautiful outside that spending the day in the office would be very boring. So why not take the vacations(假期)off? A new survey(調(diào)查)found that 31﹪of U.S workers don’t always take all of their vacation days. Americans have 12 vacation days on average(平均)each year, but they give back an average of 3 vacation days each year.
So why don’t they use up their vacation days? Some say they would rather get money back for their unused days; some busy workers say they just can’t leave their work. Americans have fewer vacation days than workers in any other country surveyed.
The French take their vacations seriously. French workers get an average of 39 vacation days, and 40﹪ plan to take at least one there-to-four-week vacation.
Workers in Sweden receive an average of 25 vacation days a year, but they can’t find time to use them all. More workers there return vacation days than any other country surveyed.
British workers have the longest working week in Europe(歐洲),with 23 vacation days --the shortest vacation. So they feel overworked.75﹪ say their weekends or vacations are too short and 40﹪ would sacrifice a day’s pay(工資)for one more vacation day.

解析試題分析：外面的風(fēng)景是多么的美麗，面對無聊的辦公室工作，為什么不去度假呢？因此對全世界各國的假期情況進(jìn)行了一個調(diào)查。報告中指出了美國、法國、瑞典、英國等國家的假期情況，但是報告中也展示出了有的國家工人并不是將全部假期用完。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：有多少美國工人不全部用完他們的假期？分析原文：A new survey(調(diào)查)found that 31﹪of U.S workers don’t always take all of their vacation days.句意：一個調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)：31%的美國工人并不是一直花費(fèi)全部的假期，因此結(jié)合選項之意，選擇第四項。故選D
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：實際上美國一年平均有多少天的假期？分析原文：Americans have 12 vacation days on average(平均)each year, but they give back an average of 3 vacation days each year.句意：美國人每年假期平均有12天，但是他們每年平均返還3天的假期。分析問題：實際有多少天的假期，有12天，返還3天，12-3=9，因此實際為九天的假期。故選 A

To many students, joining social media (社交媒體) “circles” is now more important than making new friends in real life.
And it’s easy. If you have a cell phone, you can download apps (應(yīng)用程序) such as Sina Weibo, WeChat (微信) and QQ.
“I love to check my friends’ updates (更新). I also enjoy news and humor shared on social media,” Said Ou Wei, 14, from Hongling Middle School in Shenzhen. Because of enjoying these, Ou distances himself from real life. “I love playing the plane-shooting game on WeChat, but have no interest in playing flying chess with my classmates,” said Ou.
Deng Yunyun, 14, from Jianfeng Middle School in Shanghai, said that social media had influenced their life. Recently his school held a basketball match, and a student hurt his leg. Instead of giving him some help, students were busy with updating micro blogs about the accident.
“I think they need to learn to balance their real and online lives,” said Deng,
What makes parents and teachers worried is safety. “Many students are happy to tell their interests and personal information to their social media “friends”. Such information could bring them danger,” said Han Songjun, a teacher at Hongling Middle School.
For example, WeChat’s shake-shake function allows users to connect to other users close by. But the police warn about the danger of socializing in this way.
“Be careful. Do not use the locating (定位) function in any app, do not give your name, and do not post the photos of your residential area (小區(qū)),” said the police.
【小題1】 What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “distances” in Paragraph 3?

| A．Do not share any news on social media |
| B．Do not use the locating (定位) function on social media |
| C．Do not give your name on social media |

BEIJING, Aug.18 (Xinhua) -- Most Chinese people consider drunk driving impossible to stop in the country while the current law(法律) too light for drunk drivers, a survey has found. 
According to the survey done by the China Youth Daily, more than 96% of the 1,792 respondents(被告) said people around them had driven after drinking, while more than 81% complained the current penalty was too light, the paper reported Tuesday.

In 2008, China’s alcohol（酒精）-related traffic accidents led to 18,371 deaths, 76,230 injuries, and a property(財產(chǎn)) loss of 250 million yuan ($36.7 million), according to official figures.

It is reported that over 300 million people in China are suffering from nearsightedness. As more children have got eye trouble, their parents hope to cure the disease by some different ways, such as by correcting the way children read and sit. But in fact, one should start with the exercise with one’s feet. Here are three ways to save eyes.
First, don’t tie your shoes too closely. Try to wear comfortable and soft shoes and socks or walking without shoes and socks at home. While you are travelling, try to wear cloth shoes in order to improve blood circulation.
Second, walking on tiptoe is good for one’s eyesight. It can fight against eyesight trouble. Numbers show that most of ballet performers’ eyesight is better..
Third, rope skipping does good to one’s eyesight. When skipping the rope, one has to move quickly, making both the brain and the eyes excited. It may also help make one grow taller.
Besides foot exercises, it is good to pull one’s ears. Pulling the ears 20 times quickly is also a great way. It can keep one’s eyes healthy.

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the local people of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy(經(jīng)濟(jì)). It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance(推進(jìn)) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
【小題1】What is probably the reason if local people dislike tourists?
| A．Tourists come to enjoy the customs and beauty. |
| B．Local people lose jobs. |
| C．A lot of hotels are built. |
| D．Too many tourists cause traffic problems. |
| A．Make plans properly. |
| B．Help the country’s economy. |
| C．Build fewer hotels. |
| D．Advance the well-being of local people. |
| A．businesses will lose money |
| B．other parts of the country’s economy will make more money |
| C．local people will be happier |
| D．more local people will work for tourists. |
| A．①②③④⑤ | B．②③④⑤⑥ | C．①②③⑤⑥ | D．①③④⑤⑥ |
| A．whether people need to build more hotels |
| B．whether people need to plan tourism properly |
| C．how to deal with the problems above |
| D．how to prevent tourism growing too quickly |
