Im now back in Brisbane, refreshed after a sound sleep.We came to the moment when we had to say good-bye to each otherbefore I actually realized it. The
16、moment I reached your home, I couldnt help associating your living surroundings with a beautiful garden in our countrywhere many people(especiallysenior citizens) flock to relax or exercise. But actually in China it seems like a dream for people to have such a habitat, with countless trees, flowers
17、and various grass surrounding. Honestly, I can remember that I have only ever read about it in a fairy tale.To you, my friend, I owe a great debt of heartfelt appreciation for not only providing us with an excellent exploration of quite a different exotic culture and specific customs, but also prese
18、nting us a feast for our eyes, allowing us to learn a lot from you- the true love between you and Sally, our friendly hostess; fine qualities of hard work and kindness; considerate care and help for others, just to name a few.Thanks for the many times you took trouble to take us to and pick us from
19、lots of different places-shopping centres, schools, and some scenic spots. And thank you for the delicious dishes you made for us. At each dinner, you always took into account Chinese flavour, which made us feel at home. The most impressive one is “Christmas pudding”, a mouth-watering dish that Sall
20、y elaborately made for us.And then comes the unforgettable occasion- a night club in another town, through whichwe learned a lotabout a typical Aussie life. It is really, really a dream place for elderlypeopleto whileaway the time. From the figure games, from the stage performance,from the smiles,fr

The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.The amount of money that parents give to their
26、children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money.At first, young children may
27、spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between sp
28、ending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying
29、 children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works. Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by
30、 buying things they want. Or they can save and maybe even invest it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future.40. The purpose of an allowance is _.A. help children learn from experience early before financial mistakes are cos
31、tly.B. let children buy what they want C. let them learn the value of money D. help children learn to save at an early age41. What should parents be sure about before an allowance is given?A. what their children is expected to buy with the moneyB. how much money should be given as an allowanceC. whe
32、ther their children has a budget for the allowanceD. whether their children are in need of the money42. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. The amount of money that parents give to their children.B. How often they should give their children an allowance. C. Spending must be don
33、e within a budget.D. The more work they do at home, the more allowance they will receive.43. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. Children should be paid for what they do at home.B. It is childrens responsibility to help parents with housework.C. Saving helps children understand that costly
34、 goals require sacrifice.D. Children cant spend their allowance as they like. CSolar water heaters are used around the world and are not very difficult to build. The system we are going to describe is based on a design developed some years ago in Afghanistan. Since then, it has been built and used i
35、n many countries.It can heat 70 liters of water to sixty degrees Celsius. It can do this between sunrise and noon on a clear day with an average air temperature of 32 degrees Celsius.There are 2 parts to the solar water heater. One part is made of a sheet of metal painted black. Black surfaces becom
36、e hotter in the sun than surfaces painted any other color. This black metal plate is called a collector. The collector is placed in contact with the water. There are several kinds of metal sheets that can be used for the collector. Corrugated metal will work very well. Corrugated sheets are often us
37、ed as roofs on housing. Once the water is heated, it is kept hot with insulation material. This allows the water to stay warm for a long time.The second part of the solar water heater holds the water for the system. This storage tank can be a container that holds about 100 liters. Two rubber pipes a
38、re attached to the water storage tank. One pipe lets water flow into the system. The other lets water flow out.When the water heater is working correctly, water will flow from the storage tank to the collector and back again. You can use the hot water at the top of the tank for washing and cleaning.
39、 You can change the flow of water so that the temperature is hot or warm as desired. This solar water heater is easy to build and operate. It will last about 2 years before the rubber pipes need to be replaced.There is also something else you will need to make the solar water heater work - the sun.
40、As you might expect, the heater will heat water only on sunny days.44. Which of the following is not one of the advantages of a solar water heater?A. It is easy to build and operate.B. It can hold a lot of water and keep water warm for a long time.C. It depends on weather condition.D. You can change
41、 the flow of water so that the temperature is hot or warm as desired.45.

42、cleaned any more.46. Where do you think the passage is from?A. a story book B. a news paperC. a scientific magazine D. a website47. The main method that the writer chooses to describe in the passage is to use _.A. experiments B. figures C. stories D. theories DA milestone on my life journey I could
43、see the mountain ranges lying in the east, while I was standing on the corridor. They are thinly blanketed with fog, featuring that it seems like a romantic picture to my eyes. The scene reminds me of a milestone on my life journey. I walked through that milestone through challenges in one winter. I
44、t was also a test for my perseverance and determination. If I thought of that trip, the first person I saw in mind is my uncle who took me along with him to be able to set a new milestone on my journey of life. One fine winter morning, he dropped in at my house and asked me how much perseverance I c
45、ould exert in practice. I was annoyed of being asked such a question. He smiled at me and continued that there would be a test for my perseverance if I was willing to take part in. Without second thought, I accepted his challenge. Then, I was taken to the foot of the mountain ranges and my uncle ask
46、ed me if I was ready to take the test or not. A nod was an answer. Then, we started walking up along the mountain ranges. For first few mountain ranges, I seemed okay walking on a narrow lane up to the top of the mountain, but soon I found my strength was instantly wearing out. However, I had to kee
47、p on walking up as I had no choice. As soon as I stepped on the top of the mountain, I saw another mountain range there. Gradually my excitement declined and all I dreamed of at that time was a nice bed of mine at home. The more I walked on, the heavier my body was. I deeply came to know about the f
48、orce of gravity. I wanted to give up my attempt of walking. But I saw my uncles face in my mind. I held up my head high again to reach my destination. The whole body was soaked with sweat while carrying a burden of beans along with me. I made up my mind not to think of too much. I tried to balance m
49、y steps on a narrow lane through the mountain ranges. I tried to carry my heavy body till I could see a pagoda at the peak of the mountain. It was the last mountain range. Air flowed out through my ears. I was too tired! I found myself crawling on a narrow lane to get there. At last, I reached my de
50、stination. A delight of conquering myself rolled up. I lay down at the bottom of the pagoda, smiling and watching at the highest point of the pagoda.48.

56、kinds of chili peppers to choose from, along with different levels of heat.Want to spice up your meals with homegrown chilies? They need a warm climate.

57、 can also start the seeds in your home or a greenhouse.If you plant chili peppers inside, fill an eight-centimeter pot with soil. The pot should have holes in the bottom so water can run out. Tap the sides of the pot to settle the soil.Drop several seeds over the surface of the pot and cover with a
58、thin layer of vermiculite. Vermiculite is a material that can hold air, water and nutrients. Then cover the top of the pot with a see-through plastic bag. Hold the bag in place with a rubber band. Place the pot in a warm area.When the chilies start growing, take off the bag. When the plants have rea
59、ched about two centimeters high, place each one carefully in its own eight-centimeter pot.When the roots show through the holes in the bottom of the pot, transplant each seedling into a twelve-centimeter pot. When the plants are twenty centimeters high, tie the plants to a stick placed in the pot to
60、 support them.When the chili peppers are thirty centimeters high, pinch the tops off with your fingers. That should get new branches to grow.
