Jessica Westervelt,a Spanish teacher at Bethlehem High School in New York,created an activity called “House Hunters”,which was inspired by the popular television show “House Hunters International”,for her Spanish class about four years ago.
Similar to the show,students work in groups,pretending to be real house agents,and look for three houses in Spanish-speaking countries.She uses the activity to teach vocabulary related to the home,chores,travel and vacation.She created the exercise because she wanted to incorporate her students’interests into the curriculum.At the time,a group of her students were big fans of the show.
The students look for a house for Westervelt to buy to live in,or rent for vacation.She tells them what she is looking for in a home and gives them a budget.Students work in groups of three,and each student is responsible for finding one house in a Spanish-speaking country that fits the requirements.
The groups usually make a brochure describing the houses they find.Each group presents their findings to the class,while the other students take notes.The entire activity is done in Spanish,so students get to practice their writing,listening and conversation skills.They also get some cultural education when researching homes in Spanish-speaking countries.Westervelt says that students planning to take the class look forward to her project.
Westervelt says,“I think any time that you can find a way to link into something that they are interested in outside of school,it makes it more realistic for them and it makes that activity much more enjoyable for them.”
25.How did Westervelt come up with the idea of the activity?
A.She got it from a TV program.
B.She was inspired by her students.
C.She learned it from a house agent.
D.She was taught that in high school.
26.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “incorporate” in Paragraph 2?
A.changeB.absorbC.forceD.persuade
27.What are the students supposed to do with the houses they find?
A.Rent the houses for their vacation.
B.Live in the houses for a while.
C.Write an introduction to the houses.
D.Choose and buy one for their teacher.
28.What do Westervelt’s words in the last paragraph mean?
A.Most school activities are not enjoyable.
B.Students should be realistic about study.
C.Out-of-school activities are very important.
D.Learning should be combined with interest.
C
A new study suggests that washing dishes by hand is healthier than using a dishwasher.
Nobody likes doing the dishes,but it turns out that doing this task might pay off in an unexpected way.According to a new study published in the JournalofPediatrics,washing dishes by hand instead of using a dishwasher might prevent the development of allergies(过敏).
Researchers in Sweden surveyed the parents of 1,029 children aged 7 and 8.They discovered that children whose families hand-washed the dishes instead of using a machine were less likely to have allergies.
Earlier research has shown that dishes washed by machine are cleaner than those washed by hand.So why would kids who eat off of slightly dirtier plates be better off when it comes to preventing allergies?One explanation is based on a theory known as the “hygiene hypothesis”,which says the reason kids develop allergies is that their surroundings are actually too clean.Your immune system keeps you healthy by fighting germs(细菌)like bacteria and viruses.But when you have allergies,it overreacts and tries to fight ordinary things like pollen(花粉)or certain foods.
Being exposed to germs,especially early in life,is good training for the immune system,says the lead author of the study,Dr.Bill Hesselmar of Queen Silvia Hospital in Sweden.“You stimulate the immune system in various ways and it becomes tolerant.”
This study shows that while using the dishwasher might be easier,the old-fashioned method of cleaning up could be better for your health.
29.What is the benefit of washing dishes by hand?
A.It can improve our immune system.
B.It is easier than washing by machine.
C.It costs less time than washing by machine.
D.It might reduce the chance of developing allergies.
30.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A.Our health depends much on our immune system.
B.Children in clean environment must have allergies.
C.Our immune system can only fight bacteria and viruses.
D.Hand-washed dishes are as clean as those washed by machine.
31.What do we know about germs from the passage?
A.Without germs,people won’t get sick.
B.There are no germs in clean environment.
C.Exposure to germs can improve our immune system.
D.Germs like bacteria and viruses do harm to our health.

Half off usually unaffordable products?Only $49.99 for that $100.00 dinner?That’s the magic of Groupon,but for some small business owners the “great business” offered by Groupon can be equal to the kiss of death.How could that occur?
The math of Groupon seems simple at a glance,but upon further inspection the numbers don’t add up when it comes to smaller businesses.A Groupon typically offers a 50% discount on a product or service;then the remaining profit is divided between Groupon and the small business.While Groupon has already received the profit in advance,the merchant is left waiting for their cut.Those worrying numbers are assuming the price cut is 50/50,which,in some cases,is being generous.
When you break it down to numbers,a Groupon deal seems disastrous,but it’s not only the numbers small business owners have to worry about.The point of Groupon deals is to attract new and hopefully long term customers.Yet,does this actually happen?The majority of consumers buying the Groupon are there for the bargain and don’t return after using their Groupon.CFHS Junior Angelita Pope stated,“I love the deals offered by Groupon!They can really save you so much money.”However,she went on to say that she hadn’t returned once to any of the businesses after using her Groupon.
For some small businesses,the pressure lies with the responses of their loyal customers,who watch as new faces get the same product or service for half the price that they have been paying for years.When you break it down,Groupon indicates that the business offering the deal is not only willing to be flexible with their price,but also that their product or service isn’t worth the price they’re charging for.When combining these factors,it’s no wonder loyal customers are put off by the idea of their favorite shop offering Groupons.
Now I by no means say Groupons have bad effects on all businesses;however the storm of Groupon is actually a disaster for a small business.
32.What is good about Groupon?
A.It can offer a large discount.
B.It helps add up the numbers.
C.It can improve the quality of the product.
D.It brings small business owners more profit.
33.CFHS Junior Angelita Pope’s statement suggests that .
A.small business owners needn’t worry about deals
B.people like using Groupon in the same business
C.the purpose of Groupon is to promote business
D.Groupon may not bring customers back
34.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.New faces.B.Loyal customers.
C.Groupon dealers.D.Small businesses.
35.What could be the best title for the text?
A.A new business trend—Groupon dealing
B.The development of a Groupon company
C.The effects of Groupon on small businesses
D.A fantastic shopping experience—Groupon

Distance runners often worry about “hitting the wall” during training or races,when negative thoughts become so overpowering that they make it difficult to continue. 36 At that time,the body’s glycogen(糖原) supplies become exhausted.As a result,many runners feel exhausted and discouraged,slow their pace,have trouble focusing and want to quit or walk. 37 Here are a few sports psychologist-approved techniques to try,which could have major benefits for an athlete’s performance and well-being.
1.Make a motivational song list.Distracting(分心) yourself with some great tunes can help you make it to the finish line faster. 38
2.Try the partner system.A running partner can keep you motivated and on-track,and might even improve your performance,research shows.
3. 39 A study on weight-lifters found that mental practices can be as effective as physical practice,resulting in actual muscle increases.Visualizing your if-then plan,for instance,could improve your chance of success.
4.Try “attention narrowing”. 40 Last year,an NYU study found that focusing on an object on the horizon makes the distance feel shorter,and leads runners to go faster and perform better than those who let their minds wander.
With these helpful strategies,your next personal record might be just around the corner.
A.Plan what to do.
B.Visualize achieving your goal.
C.Finding ways to move past those kinds of experiences is very vital.
D.“Hitting the wall” typically happens around 20 miles into a marathon.
E.There is evidence that saying motivational things to oneself benefits a lot.
F.Runners who focus their eyes on an object in the distance get there faster.
G.Studies show athletes run,bike and swim farther and faster when listening to music.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Whenever Prince George steps out for an engagement,like on the royal tour of Canada,or poses for 61.(office) photographs,he only ever wears shorts,62. has long confused royal watchers.
According to William Hanson,63. expert in ceremony,there’s a very good reason for this—and it has nothing to do 64. fashion,but rather a royal tradition that 65.(date) back to the sixteenth century.A new born baby would 66.(dress) in a gown for their first year or two.Then he was “breeched(穿裤礼)” and wore articles of clothing like shorts.The usual custom is that a boy graduates to trousers around eight years old.
With time 67.(change),middle class boys began to wear trousers but they were considered suburban(土气的) by the upper.Hanson explains,“68.is a very English thing to dress a young boy in shorts.”The British upper are always keen to hold on to tradition,and this also 69.(silent) marks them out from “the rest”.However,as for William and Kate,the 70.(decide) to dress George in shorts is more likely down to tradition than a class issue.
