And London, the capital city, is usually their first stop. What can they see? What can they experience!Getting around in London is not difficult. There is the underground train, the oldest in the world, or the traditional double-decker bus. A boat trip along the River Thames takes you to the Tower of London.Going around the city center on foot is easy. The maps in the streets will show you what is around you in five-minute walk. You can get a great view of the city from 135 meters up on a huge wheel, the London Eye. Look across the river and you will see the Houses of Parliament and the famous clock tower, Big Ben.There are over 240 museums in the capital, but the two most popular are in South Kensington and cost nothing to get into. In the Natural History Museum, the key word is Big. Next to it is the Science Museum. It has those great British inventions, the history of flight and exploration (探索) of space.1. For many tourists, London is their _ stop when they are traveling in the UK.A. first B. second C. third D. lost2. Going around the City center on foot is easy because _.A.

Big Ben B. the Tower of LondonC. London Eye D. the Science MuseumBIf you plan to take your pet on a trip，prepare ahead of time. At least two weeks before you leave, take your pet to a vet. See if he or she is fit for travel and ask if he or she should have any medicine before leaving. The vet may suggest certain pills for sickness or for calming the pet.Some states or foreign countries have health laws that say animals must have certain injections(注射)before they can be allowed to enter. Your vet may have this information. You can also get help on the United States and Canadian laws from a book published by the Department of Agriculture which some libraries have. For information on foreign countries, check with their consulates (领事馆).You can also ask the airline on which you are travelling.Find out if the places where you plan to stay allow pets because many do not.If you are going by plane or train，ask if pets are allowed. If they are，ask where they will be kept and who will care for them. The big bus lines in this country do not allow pets.Choose your pets box carefully. Plastic boxes are better than cardboard or wooden ones because they can be chewed(嚼碎).If going by plane or train during warm weather，try to go in the cooler early morning or evening hours. Also try to avoid (避免)very cold winter weather because pets often suffer from cold. Even in your own car, be careful. Do not leave the animal inside with the windows closed because the car may become too hot or too cold.4.The main idea of this passage is to_A. warn people to leave their pets at home B. give general information about pet travelC. tell people how to choose their pet boxes D. tell people about foreign pet laws5.When taking a pet on a trip，a pet owner_A. doesnt need to make any special plans B. should stay at friends homesC. should make plans before leaving home D. should travel by bus instead of plane6.From the passage，we can learn that_A. it costs too much to take pets on trips B. some pets may not be well enough to travelC. all train lines treat pets exactly the same D. pets are welcome everywhere7.

But some people spend too much time online. They cant stop. Doctors say this is a new sickness. They call this sickness Internet Addiction Disorder (互联网成瘾症）（IAD).People with IAD are online a lot. They spend hours chatting to their friends or playing online games. Many people with IAD spend more time on the Internet than with family or friends. Some people with IAD even quit(辞掉)their jobs!Do you have IAD? Think about these questions：How many hours a day are you online? Is it a lot or a little? When you are not online，are you thinking about playing a computer game or checking your messages? When you are online，do you forget the time? Do you get angry when you cant play a game?If you have IAD，what can you do? Dr. Ivan Goldberg and Dr. Kimberly S.Young have some ideas. First，ask yourself “Why am I online a lot?” Then try to take a break. For example，use the computer or play games twice a week，not every day.
