Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers
changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help
and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2 } 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的).Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.
Meal Plans Available

It's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast.
Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal,
bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental
Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert,
fruit and coffee.
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host's permission. You have
no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.
Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more
suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an
ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.

As we have learned English for a very long time, we may complain it. We once made a joke which foreigners should learn Chinese. Now, it was not a joke anymore. More and more foreign people are interesting in Chinese, and many of us learn Chinese well. There was a hot show calling Chinese Bridge. I had been seen the show, and I was very impressed by the foreign students, whom spoke Chinese very well. We should learn from those foreigner because they showed us a way to learn a language good.
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people hurt many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
29. People who are unhappy _______.
A. always consider things differently from others
B. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
C. usually misunderstand what others think or say
D. usually are affected by the results of certain things
30. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_______”.
A. makes others unhappy B. has a good taste with social life
C. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life
31. We can conclude from the passage that _______.
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons

I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.
24. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________.
A. she might be recognized
B. asking for help looked silly
C. she was normal and independent
D. being found blind was embarrassing
25. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.
A. began to run
B. hit a person as usual
C. hit a lamppost by accident
D. was caught by something
26. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?
A. Other vehicles also stopped there.
B. It was unreliable for making judgments.
C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.
D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.
27. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping__________.
A. to find people there
B. to find more buses there
C. to find the bus by herself there
D. to find people more helpful there
One afternoon, when I was on my way home, the weather changed suddenly. Darker clouds were gathering. I began to feel worried so I didn't have both a raincoat or an umbrella with me. It soon started to rain. Just as I was hurrying up home, I heard someone calling me from behind. I turned to have a look and find that he was Liu Wei, good neighbor of mine. He offered to share her umbrella with me. We walked all the ways home. With Liu Wei's help, I would have got wet to the skin. How thankfully I was for his help.
Years ago, the American writer Kurt Vonnegut often said there was one story that would always make a million dollars: Cinderella.
In Hollywood and in today’s economy, it is more like $70 million and that is just a start. “Cinderella” made that amount in ticket sales when it opened last weekend. But the merchandising deals linked to the movie are also hugely valuable.
So the artistic success of the film is open to debate. What is clear, however, is the movie’s business success. It is a hit in the theaters but it is also a hit in retail (零售). And Disney widened its usual market for “Cinderella” products.
There are products connected to the Disney film targeted not only at little girls, but women, too. For example, the famous shoe designer Jimmy Choo partnered with Disney to create a version of Cinderella’s “glass slippers” or shoes. You can buy them for about $5,000. At that price, you would not want to lose one at the ball, even if that is the way you get your prince. Several other shoemakers also accepted Disney deals to design versions of the famous footwear.
The makeup company MAC quickly sold all its products with official links to “Cinderella.” But lucky buyers were soon selling the products on the online marketplace eBay for many times the original price.
HSN is a popular television and online retailer (零售商) of jewelry, clothing and objects for the home. The marketer is now an exclusive seller of “Cinderella” products.
So, is there anything left for the children, those people we think of as the traditional audience for the age-old fairy tale? Yes, you can find toys and other children’s products at the American retailer JC Penney. Of course, you can also visit a Disney store.
Disney also produced an animated version of “Cinderella.” It came out in 1950 and is considered a classic. Which do you think the Disney company does better: live action (实景真人)or animated films? Post your thoughts in the comments section.
21. Products connected to the film “Cinderella” are generally aimed at ________.
A. toy retailers B. shoe designers
C. female consumers D. make-up producers
22. The film “Cinderella” is also a hit in retail because ________.
A. it has always been warmly welcomed by successful businessmen
B. huge profits were made in the sales of various “Cinderella” products
C. box-office profit is much larger than the derivatives (衍生产品) of the film
D. Disney produced both a live action and an animated version of the film
23. What could be the best title for this passage?
A. “Cinderella” Is a Big Hit in the Theaters.
B. Two Different Versions of “Cinderella”.
C. Debates on the Artistic Success of “Cinderella”.
D. “Cinderella” Is More than Just a Movie for Kids.

Most shoplifters (商店扒手) agree that he January sales offer wonderful opportunities for the hard-working thief. 41 the shops so crowded and the staff so busy, it does not require any extraordinary talent to help you to take one or two little things and escape 42 . It is known, in the business, as “hoisting”.
But now the hoisting game is not 43 it used to be. Even at the height of the sales, shoplifters today never know 44 they are being watched by one of those evil little balls that hang from the ceilings of so many department stores above the most desirable goods.
As if that was not trouble enough for them, they can now be filmed 45 and obliged to attend a showing of their performance in court.
Selfridges was the first big London store to install closed-circuit videotape equipment to watch its sales floors.

When the balls, called sputniks, first make a(n) 49 in shops, it was widely believed that their only function was to 50 shoplifters. Their 51 ridiculous appearances, the curious holes and red lights going on and off, certainly make the theory believable.
It did not take long, 52 , for serious shoplifters to start showing suitable 53 . Soon after the equipment was 54 at Selfridges, store detective Brian Chadwick was sitting in the control room watching a woman 55 putting bottles of perfume into her bag.
"As she turned to go," Chadwick 56 , "she suddenly looked up at the ‘sputnik’ and stopped. She could not 57 have seen that the camera was trained on her because it is completely hidden, but she 58 have had a feeling that I was looking at her."
"For a moment she paused, but then she 59 to counter and started putting everything 60 . When she had finished, she opened her bag towards the camera to show it was empty and hurried out of the store."
