    It is summer, and the living is comfortable. For many Americans, this is the season to travel. Why? Because school has finished; the weather is great, and most of all, we all deserve a break. When Americans want to take a break, they often head for their favourite vacation spot.

    Throughout their history, Americans have been people on the move. Hundreds of years ago, the early immigrants had to travel to get to the New World. Once they arrived, they settled along the East Coast. But they weren't content to stay there. Explorers and traders journeyed to the unknown western areas. Later, settlers moved west to develop these new regions. As a result of this westward migration, Americans eventually occupied the whole mainland — from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Even today, Americans seem unable to stay put. Research says that the average American moves every five years.

    Besides their habit of changing living places, Americans are used to travelling. Some people often go out on business. Their jobs may require them to take frequent business trips. Most companies provide an annual vacation for their employees, and people often use that time to travel. Some people just visit friends or relatives in different states. Others go on weekend trips that don't cost a lot of money. Those with more expensive tastes choose luxurious resorts and hotels.

    Most Americans prefer to travel within their own nation's borders. Why? For one thing, it's cheaper than travelling abroad, and for another, there's no language problem. What's more, the vast American territory offers different kinds of tourist attractions. Nature lovers can enjoy beaches, mountains, lakes and a wealth of natural wonders. Major cities offer visitors a lot of urban delights. The convenience of modern freeways, railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.

    Many American vacations are as unique as the people who take them. Families often go on a journey with the kids. More and more family-friendly vacation resorts offer special programs for children. History lovers seek out famous historical sites and museums. Environmentalists prefer "green vacations". These trips allow them to observe plants and animals closely without disturbing the balance of nature. Some people find sea cruises relaxing and refreshing. Others enjoy their trips by fishing, skiing or white-water rafting.

    Americans aren't the only people in the world who like travelling around. People all over the world enjoy visiting scenic spots in their own country and going abroad to travel. But in America, almost everybody is a tourist sometime.

    (1)、This passage is mainly about____.
    A、American immigrants in history B、some famous resorts in America C、Americans' love for travelling D、some special people in America
    (2)、 Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A、Americans are content to stay at the place where they are living now. B、The American immigrants moved from the east to the western areas. C、Americans are used to changing living places, but they don't like travelling around. D、Most Americans prefer to go abroad to travel.
    (3)、Which of the following is NOT the reason why Americans prefer travelling in their own country?
    A、Travelling abroad is more expensive. B、People in America speak different languages. C、The traffic in America is very convenient. D、The vast American territory offers different kinds of tourist attractions.
    (4)、Which word can describe the author's attitude towards Travel of American Style?
    A、Indifferent B、Doubtful C、Concerned D、Uncaring

    If you find yourself crossing one of London's busy bridges and look down, you may notice that the height of the Thames changes over the course of the day. When the tide (潮水) is out, you may see people move down hidden stairs to walk slowly along the foreshore (前滩). These are "mudlarks" — and they play a key role in preserving the history of the Thames by picking up objects and artefacts (手工艺品) hidden in the river's mud (泥).

    Walking along the foreshore of the Thames is not everyone's idea of a hobby — it can be cold and dirty. When the tide turns, it turns fast. You must always be aware of your way off of the foreshore. The mud is another hazard. A more experienced mudlark said he had once fallen into the mud. He was lucky to have a bucket to move out the mud.

    Historically, being a mudlark was a low station in life. The term came about in the 18th and 19th centuries when the Thames was one of the major ways to transport goods into the city. At this time, the banks of the river would be full of mudlarks, mostly poor women and children. As the tide dropped, they would walk into the mud to pick up lumps of coal, pieces of rope or anything else careless boatmen had dropped overboard that they could sell.

    Mudlarking is experiencing a renaissance (复兴). It has never been easier for people to explore the Thames: anyone looking for inspiration just has to follow the mudlarking posts on the Internet. The Thames Discovery Programme, a group of historians and volunteers, run guided tours of the foreshore where experts guide you and ensure that you stay safe and stick to Port of London Authority rules.

    (1)、 Why do people go mudlarking these days?
    A、To take more exercise. B、To keep the river clean. C、To find historical objects. D、To study how the tide changes.
    (2)、What does the underlined word "hazard" in paragraph 2 mean?
    A、Power. B、Danger. C、Attraction. D、Waste.
    (3)、 Which of the following best describes mudlarking in the 18th and 19th centuries?
    A、It was considered as a hobby. B、It was loved by most people. C、It promoted the development of transport. D、It allowed poor people to make a living.
    (4)、 What is the purpose of the guided tour of the foreshore?
    A、To give support to mudlarks. B、To test mudlarks' working skills. C、To inspire mudlarks' love for art. D、To encourage mudlarks to volunteer.

    There's no such thing as being born "good at languages". However, there are people who learn languages well, but that has nothing to do with them being naturally good at it.

    Good language learners are actively involved in their learning process. They do not expect to learn English only by sitting in the classroom.  They are organized and active. They look for creative ways both inside and outside the classroom to try out what they have learned.

    Good language learners knows that language is used to communicate. They pay attention to meaning. They have good techniques to practice listening, speaking, reading and writing. They push themselves to speak and try to become fluent. 

     It may not be easy at first but thinking in English is worth cultivating as a vital skill that will improve all areas of your language learning. To help you think in English, carry on a dialogue with yourself in English when walking along, sitting on a bus, or taking a break from other studies. Use English whenever and wherever you can.

    Good language learners have a long-term devotion to language learning. They work through any feelings of frustration or lack of confidence. They are able to deal with the challenges of learning a new language.  Instead, remind themselves how important it is to keep going.

    A. Good language learners try to think in the language.

    B. Good language learners try to figure out how the language works.

    C. They do not rely on the teacher for all the learning.

    D. They look for opportunities to talk with native speakers.

    E. They don't let themselves give up.

    F. They clearly know their own strengths and weaknesses.
