But very few people can afford a global tour because hotels，food and airplane tickets are too expensive. Some people，however, have thought of some ways to realize their dreams. Laura Cody and Tanbay Theune, a couple from Britain, decided to travel around the world. They have found a good way to pay for their trips. They look after pets for rich house owners. In exchange, they can stay in the houses for free. They have looked after horses, cows, cats, dogs and fish. In two years, the couple has been to Australia, Germany, Spain and Italy. They have stayed in big cities and small villages. The home owners are usually very generous and have given them food, wine and day trips. Another person who tries to realize her travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor. She travels around the world to visit, review and take photos of the best hotels. She shares the places she stays and the food she eats on the Internet with tens of thousands of followers. With these ways of making money, traveling around the world is no longer a dream. More and more young people are thinking creatively to make their dream come true. ( )26. It is known from the passage that Laura and Tanbay paid for their trips by .

According to the passage, Taylor is a photographer who shares her photos . A. on the Internet B. during her travel C. with hundreds of followers D. during staying in hotels B It’s normal for parents to disagree and argue from time to time. Parents might disagree about money, housework or how to spend their time. They might even disagree about little things that don’t important at all—like what’s for dinner or what time someone gets home. So, many times when parents disagree, they argue, an argument is a fight using words. Most kids worry when their argue. Loud voices and angry words can make kids feel afraid, sad or upset. Even silent arguments, like parents not talking to each other at all can upset kids. What does it mean when parents argue? First, just like kids, when parents get upset, they must cry, shot or say things they really don’t mean to. Sometimes an argument might not mean anything. Second, just like kids, parents might argue more if they are not feeling well, or if they have other worries. If your parents argue more often, you can talk to someone, like relatives, a teacher or any adult you trust. They can help by telling family members to listen to each other and talk about their feelings without shouting. Though it takes some work, time and practice, people in families can always learn to get along better. No family is perfect. Even in the happiest ones, things happen and people argue from time to time. Being part of a family means everyone joins in and tries to make life better for each other. When an argument happens at home, like to your parents and use love and understanding to solve the problems that have come up. Families can solve almost any problem. ( ) 28.

Children often argue C. When do parents argue? D. Try to make life better C To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade(遮蔽)against the sun. Nobody knows who first invented it，but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century BC. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasnt until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colours. ( )31. According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in ancient . A. Egypt B. Babylon C. Rome D. China ( )32. They underlined word "royal" might mean " " in Chinese. A.皇室的 B.富裕的 C.中产的 D.平民的 ( )33. According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true? A.

The style of the umbrella hasnt changed a lot since it was invented. D It was Christmas Eve. When everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t fall asleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted as a special Christmas present. He wondered how Santa — Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself. As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof(屋顶) and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and ran down the hall to the stairs. He hoped to take a look at the old man before Santa left for his next stop. By the time Bunny was at the bottom of the stairs, everything was silent again. Lots of presents were put under the Christmas tree, but Santa was gone. A little disappointed(失望的), Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry. “Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?” He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. It also had antlers(鹿角) on its head. Bunny almost mistook it for a dog. “Are you a reindeer?” asked Bunny. “Yes,” replied the brown animal with antlers. “My name is Ralph.” “And you were pulling Santa’s sled(雪橇)?” “I was until I got air-sick,” replied Ralph. “Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer.” “Isn’t it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick? I mean, isn’t flying what reindeer are famous for?” “Not me, I’m afraid. It makes me scared. I always feel sick when it comes to flying,” replied Ralph. “But everyone wanted me to pull Santa’s sled, so when it was my turn I gave it a try. I’m afraid I just wasn’t cut out for the job. Now I’m stuck here and I don’t know how to get back to the North Pole.” “Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny.
