| When we read books we seem to 1 a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 2 . Some stories are told 3 they were true. Real people 4 live in a normal world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 5 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 6 for us. 7 there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only imagined. How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we 8 seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than 9 . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way _10_ living. When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our 11 -which is real-and our imagination-which is real in a different way-to make the words come to life in our minds. Both realism and fantasy(幻想) 12 the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 13 realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we 14 that we are real and they are 15 . It sounds strange, but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and 16 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by pretending that 17 we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too. Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 18 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose 19 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 20 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books. | ||||

| My friend got married. His mother carried two bags of cotton from the countryside by bus and train to his city. After arriving at the city, there was still a long way to his house without any bus passing by the house. His mother walked to his home breathlessly for 40 minutes without taking a taxi in order to save money. My friend felt bitter as well as funny as his mother’s deeds. He pointed to the cashmere (山羊绒) and silk quilts and said, “So long as you have money, you can buy anything in the supermarket. There is no need for you to carry so much cotton here in such a long way.” But his mother insisted and said, “The cotton of this year is light and warmth-keeping. Have a try and you will know!” Maybe every parent is the same, caring for their children with stubborn love without caring about whether they know or like it. This early spring, I went to visit my grandmother. We had dry beans stew （炖菜）, eggplant salad bar, sauce radish （酱萝卜条）for our dinner, all of which were dried by my grandmother last autumn and tasted wonderful. I loved the dishes to my heart’s content and could not help praising them again and again. After a few days, my grandmother, who seldom visited us, came to my home and unpacked her bag, smilin gly taking out bags of dried eggplants, dried beans and dried vegetable. She told me that I left so hastily last time that she forgot to give me some of these foods, so she took this chance to bring me what I liked. I was speechless at that time. Due to my casual complimentary her food, my grandmother , a nearly 70-year-old lady, by taking three buses from the west of the city to the east, came to my home with the food I liked. But she was bus-sick in life and even seldom went strolling in the street. My pretty girlfriend had a failed marriage in the past. After divorce, her parents shed the deepest protection and care to her by helping her attend to the child and offering financial aids. Her parents’love made her pull herself together and forgot the man who had hurt her before. Nonetheless, her father, an honest and upright old man, after hearing his ex-son-in-law got promoted in his company, felt terrifically irritatedand went to his company to question his boss why a philanderingman with corrupt conducts could get promoted. The whole office fell into a mess immediately and many staff just watched on the sidelines. Some people even whispered lightly, "It is a new era now and the relationship between men and women is very open. No one would care about that any more!" The old man stood silently in the office with his hands shivering and eyes tearing. That night, my girlfriend cried heavily in front of me. I asked her whether it was her father’s stupid deeds that made her feel humiliated. But she said that she felt guilty for her dad and that though the rest of the whole world betrayed her, her old father would still back her up and help her get the justice she deserved, just as when she was young and the neighboring boy grabbed her ball, her father would get it back for her. However, this changed world was no longer the stage for her old father and his deeds became funnily obsolete. No one managed to see the real and ever-lasting love to his daughter behind his seemingly rude behaviors. Now we have grown up, so much so that we could support our family and have our own children. But in our parents’ heart, they are still worried that we do not have sufficient quilts and dried vegetables. They would not feel troubled to bring all these to us regardless of long tough journey. They even would not like us to suffer a bit and try all means to protect us without caring about whether what they do is awkward and stupid or no Who in the world would love us so deeply and relentlessly without asking for any repay? Only our parents! 1. What does the author want to tell us? A. The love from our parents is real and deep though sometime it doesn't appear so. B. The love from our parents is awkward sometime, which is rather annoying. C. Children should appreciate parents' love because their life is so hard. D. The world is changing so the love of parents should change too. 2. What does the underlined world "humiliate" in the eleventh paragraph mean? A. guilty B. Moved C. happy D. ashamed 3. How many examples are there in the passage? A. One B. Two C. Three D. four 4. After the author's girlfriend's former husband got promoted, her farther _____? A. congratulated him B. Made his daughter marry him again C. had a quarrel with him D. argued with his boss 5.What kind of woman is the author's grandmother? A. upright and honest B. loving and troublesome C. thoughtful and careful D. generous and active |

| There's no need to say it, but there are really more than a few benefits to educational tours. From the word itself, an educational tour is something done to gain knowledge while traveling and touring to some place. It creates opportunities for people to think out of the box and see things and places that aren't usually seen in their normal environment. Educational trips aren't always those that cover far distances. As already said, it is done to gain knowledge and you wouldn't need to go very far to have it. Sometimes, an educational trip could be in your hometown. Historic places and museums are always on top of the lists of the places to go in an educational tour. Educational tours like these would make you know your country better. Your country's history is rich and it is the reason why you came to be. But remember that the history of other states, counties and countries are as important as your own. When you go on a trip to another country, it is advised that you learn their culture first. Different cultures have different understanding and perspective of different acts, and it could be dangerous or offending if you cannot understand a culture. When you go on an educational tour, it is likely that you would have the opportunity to socialize with other people. Students are encouraged to talk to locals and natives and learn from them, because it is with understanding that students gain knowledge. When students talk with local people, they are gaining insights to their life and their culture. It is said that when in Rome, act and think as the Romans do, and this is a valuable skill that not all people could do. There are millions of people who want to travel, and an educational tour is the perfect time to do so. Traveling opens new doors and opportunities; it always makes you want to learn more. Cultures are many and widely different, and it is a very valuable talent to understand the people of different cultures. Traveling with groups of other students is safer than traveling alone, and bulk travels like those could also be helpful on the budget. Group of friends could stay at one place and get discounts on the place that you wouldn't get if you are traveling alone. Traveling is fun and more budget-friendly when with other people on an educational tour. Travel abroad for a month. Try and see if you wouldn't miss your own country. Traveling would let you see your own country in a different way. The benefits of an educational tour are all important, but this one creates patriotism in a person. A school isn't a place where they teach you to find the answers; it is a place where one teaches you to find the questions and learn the answers for yourself. Educational tours are valuable this way. They teach you that you are not the only one seeking for questions and that there are other people who are willing to help you on your way too. 1.What's educational tours according to the passage? A. Something done to gain knowledge while traveling. B. Something done to know more about one's own country while traveling. C. Something done to know more about a foreign country while traveling. D.
