27、sement.BMost of the time, people wear hats to protect themselves from harsh weather conditions. Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position. But nowadays, hats, especially womens hats, are much more than that. More exactly, hats have changed into fashion and style symbols b
28、y many movie stars. Whats more, people now consider many different features (特点)when choosing even a simple hat. Many designers point out that, when choosing the right hat, its important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair, your height, and the shape of your face.First of all, th
29、e color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair. For instance, black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned. If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair, one will look as attractive as a summer flower. Second, the height of the hat is also an important point. Tall women shou
30、ld not go for hats with tall crowns, just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height. Third, and most importantly, the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick. A small, gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face. However, women wi
31、th big, round faces should choose a different style.As the saying goes, “Fine feathers make fine birds.” A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features, so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public?44.

How to Design a Nice HatCBottled water has become the choice for people who are healthy and thirsty. Bottled water is all over the world. But some say the planets health, an
35、d peoples health may be suffering from it.The idea that bottled water is safer for humans may not be true. The Natural Resources Defense Council of America said, “There is no promise that because water comes out of a bottle, it is cleaner or safer than water from the tap.” Another New York City-base
36、d action group added that some bottled water is “really just tap water in a bottlesometimes more clean, sometimes not.”It is not proven that bottled water is better than tap water. Nick Reeves from the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management said, “The high mineral content (含量) o
37、f some bottled water makes them not good for feeding babies and young children.” Also, most bottled water doesnt have fluoride (氟化物), which can make teeth stronger. Kids are drinking more bottled water and less fluoridated tap water, and some say thats behind the recent rise in bad teeth.Storing is
38、another problem. Placed near heat, the plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals (化学物质) into the water.According to the Environmental Protection Agency, some 2.7 million tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle water each year.

These lessons are not only about the dance itself.
48、 Its also important to learn about manners (礼节) to get along well with other dancers.What are some of the manners you should know about in Latin dance?1. Sit out if the dance floor is overcrowded.There are times when there are too many people on the dance floor. When the dance floor is overcrowded,
49、people can run into each other, causing people to get angry. If you are polite, you will sit out in order to give way to other dancers. This way, they can perform with enjoyment.2. Do not get in the way of other dancers.There may be times when you need to share one dance floor. The best way to do it
50、 is to start in a place not too close to the other dancers. When you see that they need to move into your space, allow them some more space to complete their performance. Once they are finished, you will have the space to yourself and the people next to you will make space for you.3. The dance floor
51、 is for dancing.In the dance hall, do not use the dance floor to talk to your friends, discuss, or disagree about something. Dance floors are not sitting areas where you can do just anything. You will bother other dancers on the dance floor.4. Avoid stopping other dancers.You might need to step onto
52、 the dance floor while other dancers are performing. If you need to do this, walk around the dancers to avoid stopping them. This is one way of showing respect to your friends. You would not want them to stop you if you were the one dancing, so do not do it to them.If all dancers would take these La

However, they might be taking that goal too seriously. Studies have found that childre
55、n often forget between one and three months worth of school learning during the summer months. Spelling and math abilities drop off the most, while reading is not really influenced by the time off. The main reason for this is because most children sometimes read outside of the classroom, whether new
56、spapers, magazines, books, or video game guides. However, their math and spelling skills only get exercised in the school setting.The first purpose of summer holidays was to let farm children have time off to help work in the fields during the growing season, but this reason is no longer a good one
57、since fewer kids actually work on farms today. Some cities in the United States, such as Los Angeles, have moved to a year-round school timetable, which may help reduce the loss of school skills that happens during the long summer holiday. To improve skills and to keep a good level of preparation, h
58、eadmasters suggest trips to museums, summer camps, holidays with educational value, and visits to libraries to keep kids interested throughout the summer.There are other educational systems that provide holidays while still keeping students skills up to date. For example, in Japan, students attend c
59、lass for seven weeks in a row, followed by two weeks of holiday. This continues the whole year. In Italy, students attend class six days per week, but finish at 1: 30 pm each day, so that school does not run their life the way that it does in America, where students attend high school from 7: 45 am
60、until 3: 00 pm each weekday. In areas where there are not enough classroomsin Afghanistan or Somalia, for exampleolder students attend classes in the morning while the younger kids go to school in the afternoon.Headmasters fear that the three-month summer holiday stops the flow of learning. Just as
61、students become used to new math problems or new ideas in reading, writing, or thinking skills, they “shut down” during the summer holiday. When they go back to school after the long summer holiday, they take up to two months to return to their previous (先前的) level of skill. So the debate continues:
62、 whether to continue holidays or to make changes based on the Los Angeles or the Japanese models.1. Which skills suffer the most over the summer holidays?A. Math and reading. B. Math and spelling.C. Reading and writing. D. Reading and thinking.2. What can we learn about the first purpose of summer h
63、olidays?A. It is still widely acceptable now. B. It was popular in some cities.C. It is not a good reason for city kids. D. It was more for teachers than for students.3. The underlined phrase “shut down” in the last paragraph probably means _.A. stop learning B. get sickC. go on reading D. focus on
64、studies4. What can we infer from the passage?A. Parents always read to their kids to keep reading skills.B. Summer holidays lead to the loss of all the school skills.C. Students love holidays and get their mind off learning in holidays.D. In Italy students attend classes in the late afternoon six days a week. 书面表达(满分20分)假设你是李华,上周六你邀请朋友们来家里庆祝你的生日。请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序,写一篇英文日记,叙述生日聚会的全过程。注意:1. 日记的开头已为你写好。 2. 词数不少于50。Saturday, January 11FineToday _
