The younger generation (一代人), according to a new survey, can hardly remember the last time of climbing trees or flying kites, as they are kept indoors and short of outdoor experiences.

The survey of 1,000 people found that the current (现在的) generation of 15- to 34-year-olds have fewer memories (记忆) of 12 key countryside activities such as swimming in rivers or going fishing.

The research found that three quarters of the older generation remembered playing games or climbing trees, compared with two thirds of younger adults.

The 55⁺ generation also had more memories of collecting stones, visiting a farm or pond dipping. Altogether, two thirds of older people had more memories of playing outdoors compared to just over half of the younger generation.

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) carried out the study at the start of the school term to stress the growing worry that children are not getting outdoors enough.

The study has found that 82 per cent of people think that schools should provide more outdoor education and most believe nature is still important to children today.

Dr. Mike Clarke, head of the RSPB, said children who are usually kept indoors are easier to get "nature deficit disorder". He said public money should be used to take children on day trips to nature and to build wildlife gardens, especially in poor areas.

"To many people, it would seem clear and unquestionable that an important part of childhood is exploring the world around you. Unfortunately, this is far from the fact and the children are having less time and fewer chances to get close to nature," he said.

"The RSPB has more than a 40-year history in getting children outdoors and is still continuing to play our role. We now need the government and the schools to realize that they should play the most important role in making it possible for all the children to experience, enjoy and benefit (受益) from the outdoor environment."

28．Compared with the current generation, the older generation had ________.

A. more homework and exercises when they were children

B. more memories of wonderful life in the countryside

C. fewer memories of taking part in outdoor activities

D. fewer chances of going on a visit to the big cities

29．The RSPB carried out the study in order to tell people to ________.

A. spend more time with their kids

B. care more about the kids' growth

C. let their kids get more outdoor activities

D. order the schools to provide outdoor education

30．According to the passage, "nature deficit disorder" often happens to ________.

A. children who often stay indoors

B. children who often go outdoors

C. all the younger generation

D. all the older generation

31．We can learn from Dr. Clarke's words in the last paragraph that ________.

A. all the children can’t get close to nature and aren’t healthy any longer

B. outdoor activities are the most important for the current generation

C. the RSPB is more important than the government and schools in getting kids outdoors

D. the RSPB plays an important role in getting kids outdoors all the time

First lady Michelle Obama turns 50 on Friday, Jan. 17, 2014.

    Michelle Obama has spent the first half-century of her life breaking barriers and checking off a series of firsts. Now, as she reaches her milestone birthday Friday, the nation will be watching to see in what other areas she will leave her mark.

Five years after moving into the White House, and without a re-election campaign to worry about, she has more room to relax in her role and, political watchers say, possibly become more vocal(声音的)on political issues in the three years left in office.

    So far, critics have complained about Michelle’s silence on issues where they expected to hear her voice：Last year, at the start of her husband’s second term, she disappointed advocates for tighter gun-control measures after she failed to push harder on the issue in response to the massacre(残杀) at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 1Newtown, Conn. She also disappointed some feminists(女权主义者)who wanted her to defend their causes instead of falling back on her self-described role as the nation’s “mom-in-chief.” Nor did she handle racial issues during her second term, as some had expected.

    “The most important thing to remember is, whether you are black, white or Hispanic, you’re the first lady and the president of all the people in the United States. That’s a huge melting pot, so to reinforce(强化)that she’s African American over anything else would not be wise,” said Anita McBride, who directs programming and national conferences on the legacies(遗产) of America’s first ladies and their historical influence at American University.

    Valerie Jarrett, a top white House adviser and a close friend of the Obamas, said the first lady doesn't want to “spread herself too thin.”

“She really wants to have a maximum impact and to do that in fewer areas,” Jarrett told the Associated Press. “That,” she said, “is better than trying to take on every single possible cause.”

But Robert Wasson, a Lynn University professor, said he expects Obama to “go a little harder at issues” over the next several years. “Second-term first ladies usually feel more at ease to speak more forcefully about issues close to their heart,” he said.

Myra Gutin, a Ryder University communications professor and frequent lecturer on first ladies, said she expects Obama to continue making both of them a priority in her remaining years in the White House, given their success. Michelle launched the “Let’s Move” campaign in 2010. It in particular has gained widespread support, ranging from the National Football League to the Sesame Street franchise(特许), which even gave permission to the produce industry to use its licensed characters for free on fruits and vegetables.

“There’s no such thing as a traditional first lady, not anymore in this technology-filled world. Is Mrs. Obama cutting edge? Is she an activist? No. As first ladies go, I think she’s been politically careful because she does not want there to be a major flare-up that would require her husband to use his political capital to clean up,” she said. “But she’s not exactly just sitting in the White House pouring tea and having receptions, either.”

63. Critics were disappointed with Michelle because ________.

A. she didn’t put gun-control measures into effect

B. she failed some feminists to stand out to be a career woman

C. she failed to voice her opinion on some issues

D. she didn’t solve some racial problems

64. According to the professors or advisers, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. It’s not wise to reinforce Michelle is African American over anything else.

B. It’s better for Michelle to have a maximum impact than to take on every possible cause.

C. It’s expected for Michelle to go a little harder at issues.

D. It's a tradition for first ladies to stay out of political issues.

65. According to the text, the first lady really doesn’t want to________.

A. Try to do a lot of work at the same time   B. Try to improve physical fitness

C. Move herself away from others          D. Get very tired

66. In Paragraph 9. the campaign “Let’s Move” might be aiming to help people ______.

   A. gain widespread support               B. become less physically active

   C. have access to healthier foods           D. raise awareness about gun control

Chinese writer Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize for Literature might ignite an explosion of global interest in Chinese literature and lead to more titles translated into English, European experts say.

“Hopefully, the award means more people will read Chinese literature and more works will get translated,” says Michel Hockx, professor of the Languages and Cultures of China and Inner Asia from University of London. “Many very good Chinese writers have been accepted globally for a long time already. Mo Yan is probably the most translated Chinese writer alive, with at least five of his novels made available in English over the past 20 years.”

Jonathan Ruppin, web editor of bookseller Foyles, says Mo’s win coincides with growing interest in Chinese literature and recognizes the talents of a distinctive and visionary writer. “We are very excited by the fact that English translations of more of his books should now become available,” Ruppin says. He made the comment after Mo became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in its century-long history.

As East-West cultural exchange has been booming, Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention in recent years. Hockx explains, “It’s mainly because there are many more opportunities for Chinese writers to visit other countries, to publish their works outside China and to interact with readers abroad. At the same time, more and more people globally are learning Chinese and taking an interest in the Chinese language and culture .”

University of Oxford lecturer in modern Chinese literature Margaret Hillenbrand says, “The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature is the growing global presence of China itself. People have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge deficit between China and its international counterparts — in particular,China knows incomparably more about Europe and America than the other way round— and reading Chinese literature is an effective, simple means of solving that gap.”

8.The underlined word “ignite” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.

  A. start out B. burn up C. set off D. appeal to

9.Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention mainly because ________.

  A. Chinese writers have been writing more and more books in English

  B. the Chinese language has become the most wide used language in the world

10. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

  A. Chinese literature has spread with the development of China.

  B. The Nobel Prize for Literature has a history of hundreds of years.

  C. In the past, no Chinese writers were accepted outside China.

  D. Foreigners know about China mainly by reading Mo Yan’s works.

11.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

  A. China knows more about Europe and America than before.

  B. China knows more about Europe and America than they know about China.

  C. China, Europe and America know one another more than before.

  D. Compared with America, China knows more about Europe.

How can I fight laziness?

Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.

     16    . Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.

Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more protective approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.     17   

Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child to promote responsibility.     18   

     19    Spouses(配偶) and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. To fight household laziness, lead by example. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.

     20     enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

A. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.

B. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.

C. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.

D. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.

E. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.

F. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.

G. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep

Nowadays, have sports is becoming more and more popular. As we know, a person who keeps on taking exercise regularly will keep fit and live a happy life.

Raised by a single mother in Hartford, Fred Wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move from one school to another. He even reached a point where he felt like he had nothing to live for.

“I was walking around with a lot on my shoulders，” he said.“I couldn’t handle it. I didn’t care about life anymore.” But all that started to change when Wright met Patricia Kelly.

“I was seven when I met Mrs Kelly.I wasn’t used to strictness. I wasn’t used to hearing the word ‘no’，”said Wright, now 17.

Kelly, a former soldier and an equestrian (骑手), took Wright under her wing and helped him find hope in an unlikely place — on a horse.

“Wright was like a round peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole’’, Kelly said.“He was hurting. He needed a place where he could express himself. The riding field became that place for him.”

For the last 30 years, Kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her non­profit, Ebony Horsewomen. The program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young  people a year. By exposing those children to horsemanship, Kelly aims to give them an alternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around.

“We use horses as a hook to create pride, esteem and healing，” said Kelly, 66.“They learn that they have ability. They just have to unlock it.”

“When you teach a child to ride a horse, they learn they are the center of their environment’’, said Kelly.“Once they make that connection, they can change what happens in school, at home and in the community.”

5．Why did Fred Wright have to move from one school to another?

A．Because his mother couldn’t afford the fees.

B．Because his parents got divorced.

C．Because he behaved badly at school.

D．Because he didn’t set a life goal.

6．How did Patricia Kelly help Fred Wright?

A．She provided him with a home.

B．She encouraged him to learn science.

C．She exposed him to the riding field.

D．She found him a better school.

7．What do we know about the program Ebony Horsewomen?

A．It is intended to make money.

B．It was founded by Patricia Kelly.

C．It aims to protect the environment.

D．It serves as a shelter for homeless kids.

8．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?

A．Horse riding is helpful to the growth of kids.

B．Patricia Kelly is a very successful woman.

C．Horses are closely related to the environment.

D．It is hard for a kid to learn to ride a horse.

Cooking food over a smoky fire is found everywhere in the world. It is often difficult to find wood for the fire. People who do not have wood must spend large amounts of money on cooking fuel. However, there is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun. Solar cookers, or ovens, have been used for centuries. A Swiss scientist made the first solar oven in 1767. Today, people are using solar cookers in many countries around the world. People use solar ovens to cook food and to heat drinking water to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms.

There are three kinds of solar ovens. The first is a box cooker. It is designed with a special wall that shines or reflects sunlight into the box. Heat gets trapped under a piece of glass or plastic covering the top of the cooker. A box oven is effective for slow cooking of large amounts of food.

The second kind of solar oven is a panel(嵌板式) cooker. It includes several flat walls, or panels, which directly reflect the sun’s light onto the food. The food is inside a separate container of plastic or glass that traps heat energy. People can build panel cookers quickly and with very few supplies. They do not cost much. In Kenya, for example, panel cookers are being manufactured for just two dollars.

The third kind of solar oven is a parabolic(抛物线的) cooker. It has rounded walls that aim sunlight directly into the bottom of the oven. Food cooks quickly in parabolic ovens. However, these cookers are hard to make. They must be re-aimed often to follow the sun. Parabolic cookers can also cause burns and eye injuries if they are not used correctly.

You can make solar ovens from boxes or heavy paper. They will not catch fire. Paper burns at 232 degrees Celsius. A solar cooker never gets that hot. Solar ovens cook food at low temperatures over long periods of time. This permits people to leave food to cook while they do other things.

To learn more about solar cooking, you can write to Solar Cookers International. The postal address is nineteen-nineteen Twenty-First Street, Sacramento, California, nine-five-eight-one-one, USA. Or you can visit the group’s Internet Web site. The address is www.solarcooking.org.

32.How long is the first solar cookers invented?

A. About 1767 years                                      B. More than 300 years

C. More than 250 years                                 D. Less than 250 years

    A Shanghai shopping mall recently opened a “husband nursery” where men who are pulled around the shops by their wives or girlfriends can relax and rest from shopping. Do most men hate shopping with women? Forum（论坛）readers share their opinions.

YinsXZ (US)

    Hey, that is an absolutely nice idea. I like it. It also makes it easier for women who have lots of bags to be able to drop them off at the nursery for boyfriends to watch over while they return to shop for more! Set it up with wifi too and you have a perfect hang out spot. And most importantly, don’t have to wait for complaints from the woman when I stop to look at computers or tools!

Sunnylin01 (China)

    Most women like shopping while most men don’t. Men generally don’t spend hours deciding color, comparison shopping or finding the sale prices. They know what they want, get in, buy them and get out. 10-15 minutes and they’re done. This is quite different from how a woman shops. Going from store to store, trying to find the best ones. The trying will spend hours.

Seneca (a foreigner in China)

    Many women view shopping as an entertaining way to get down from high stress levels. My wife is one of those. Stress comes too naturally to her; driving a car, doing her job, dealing with workmates all lead to some rising of her stress level. So shopping ideally happens every day. For me, that amount of shopping is stressful.

Blonde Amber (Ireland)

    Some men take hours comparing products, trying things out, finding sales prices. They don’t always know what they want but enjoy just looking. Men can shop the same as women for things they are interested in and spend hours doing it. Equally not all women like shopping and go in, 10-15 minutes and they are done. People are not black and white, and don’t fit into boxes.

I still clearly remember that day. I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep. I put signs in the windows that said,“Need a jack (千斤顶）.”

As I was about to give up, a truck stopped and a man got off. He looked at the situation, made a judgment and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished the job with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife took a large bottle of water for us to wash our hands.

I tried to put $20 in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so I went to give it to his wife quietly. I asked their little girl where they lived. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now, so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they were going to pick peaches and then go home.

After I said goodbye and started going back to my jeep, the girl ran to me and handed me a tamale(玉米粽子)for lunch. I thanked them again and walked back to my jeep. When I opened the tamale, what did I find inside? My $20! I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window. He started shaking his head, smiled and  said in English“Today you, tomorrow me. ” Then he drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back.

This family, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.

Since then I’ve helped many people like the Mexican family. I didn’t accept their money. Every time I was able to help, I felt as if I was putting something in the bank.
