You can also find cheaper tickets for early morning flights, since many people dont like to get up too early.You already know that summer is the most expensive time to fly. The days around holidays can be crazy. Youll save a lot if youre willing to travel on the very day, such as on December 25(Christmas) rather than December 24 or 26.Dont wait until the last minute to book. Many travelers dont know that theres a secret to the best time for booking and getting the best price on your tickets. Book too early or too late and you could end up paying more than you need to. The best time to book is between three months and six weeks from when you want to travel.Airlines will charge for just about anything these days.

My brother, Captain, four years old at the time, had always been my best friend. We would wrestle, play games and have the best of times together, even though I was much older than him. My mom told me about the appointment, but, when she got to the point about the test, she stopped. I turned around and she had tears in her eyes. I stared at her, wishing she would say something, when I realized what that silence meant. My eyes got blurry (模糊的) and my breathing got very difficult. “The test was positive, sweetheart,” she said. I broke down, crying.My mom was trying to cool me down, saying that Captain couldnt see me like this and I had to be a big girl, when the front door opened, and Captain, our three-year-old sister Cali, and my father came in. I walked out of the kitchen. I couldnt look at him. Everything had just changed. He was no longer that little baby brother who was just a normal little boy.We had to move a while later because Captain needed treatment. One day, I was standing in the bus line waiting when the “short bus” came and picked some kids up. The children in the other line started making jokes about the “retards (智力迟钝者)” on that bus and I felt a strange feeling in my stomach, which I had never felt before.During a band class, my teacher, Mrs. Young, stopped our playing to give us some feedback. “Guys, were playing like the kids on the short bus! Come on!” I felt that same feeling I had in the bus line. The entire room was laughing when I raised my hand. “Yes, Alexis?” Mrs. Young asked. “I dont think we should make fun of the short bus, because there are a lot of people on that bus who have great personalities and have the same feelings as we do. And also, I know some people on those buses and they are some of the most caring, sweetest, and smartest people, so I would appreciate it if you didnt make fun of them.”Everyone stared at me. Mrs. Young apologized for the comment and then started the song again.25. What did Alexis think her mothers silence mean in Paragraph One? A. There was no chance for Alexis to play games with Captain.B. Captain was likely to miss the appointment.C. Captain really suffered from autism.D. Alexis had to prepare dinner quickly.26.

Luke Elsworth, 19, was offered a job by an airline after taking one of the fastest possible routes to becoming qualified(有资格的).

Research shows that babies that get into a good bedtime habit are half as likely to be fat at the age of one as other babies. And babies that put on weight in the first year of life are more likely to be fat later in life.Researchers from the US studied more than 250 first-time mothers and their babies. Researcher Jennifer Savage said: “Feeding a baby can be an easy and fast way to calm an upset baby. But we dont want parents to use feeding to comfort their baby if the baby isnt hungry. Crying is one of the last things a baby is likely to do if they are hungry.”At nine months old, if babies were put to bed by 8pm and left alone when they cried during the night, they slept almost an hour and a half longer than babies whose bedtime was later. And by the age of one, they were half as likely to be fat.Study author Professor Ian Paul said: “A lot of parents try to keep their babies up longer. They think that then theyll sleep longer at night and that they wont wake up.”“We found that s not true. When parents keep babies up longer. They just sleep less. If you want your baby to sleep longer and better, put them to sleep earlier. No matter what time you put babies to sleep, they wake overnight.”“It is important to form good sleep habits-early in life for health reasons, including being less likely to get fat. It is also important to the emotional(情绪的) health of parents and families.”32. What will happen to babies if they dont have an early bedtime habit?A. They will not be fed enough food by their parents.B. They will not grow as tall as babies who sleep early.C. They are more likely to become fat as they grow.D. They will choose to sleep early later in life.33. What does Jennifer Savage think of feeding babies?A. It is important to babies even if they are not hungry.B. It is the best way to calm down babies when they are upset.C. It is not always a good way to comfort babies if they wake up at night.D. It is a good way to comfort babies when they are uncomfortable.34. If babies are put to bed early, .A. they wont wake up at nightB. they will sleep less at nightC. they will get longer and better sleepD. they will wake up more times at night35. What is the main idea of the text?A. An early bedtime improves babies health.B. How feeding babies too much can affect them.C. What to do if babies are not comfortable.D. Parents shouldnt keep babies up.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. 36 , but you still dont know who your true friends are.
