By the end of your holiday, you will be a dancing expert!Big Life Stretch , SpainTravel opens up opportunities that you do not have at home.

You will spend a week surrounding yourself by nature. Guests participate in the scheduled life coaching, and also learn the techniques to hug changes.Photography Holiday , SpainTaking pictures is a major part of every holiday, but how many of us are good at it?

Which holiday should a visitor choose if heshe can only afford the weekend?A. Salas Dancing Holiday. B. Big Life StretchC. Photography Holiday. D. Wild CookeryBFourth-grader Alice Tapper was on a school field trip when she noticed that most of the girls quietly stayed at the back of the group, while the boys gathered at the front and raised their hands to answer questions. The 11-year-old then realized how often she and her female classmates didnt speak up in class for fears of getting an answer wrong and being embarrassed. She decided to change this and launched a campaign to encourage girls to have faith in themselves, even take risks and be leaders and support other girls in doing the same. With assistance from her Girl Scout troop (女童子军), she created a new Raise Your Hand program, and soon girls around the country were taking a pledge(承诺) to raise their hands in class. In my work as an administration coach I see many women (and some men) with habits that are holding them back. Women at work tend to hang back in meetings for fear they may not have the right answer. They will spend countless hours (and sometimes days) replaying the tapes in their head, while males in similar situations simply move on, until they are perfect when instead they should be establishing relationships. The truth is that after a year no one remembers your nice report. Forget perfect. It doesnt exist. Say whats on your mind and let things go. Similarly, women tend to talk more softly than men, which can be problematic, especially the higher up in the organization you go. To have an influence on business, its not enough to have a seat at the table. You have to have a voice and people have to hear from you. Dont wait for an invitation. Raise your hand, say what you have to say, and when you see an opportunity, go for it! 24. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. Girls are hesitant to speak up.B. Boys are smarter than girls in class.C. Field is not fourth-graders favorite.D. Girls dont like to raise their hands.25. Why did Alice launch the program?A. To help teenager girls to learn more.B. To encourage girls to have confidence.C. To motivate girls to compete with boys.D. To call on everyone to raise their hands.26. According to Paragraph 3, what holds women back?A. Life-long habit. B. Lack of time.C. Desire for perfection. D. Replaying the tapes.27. What does the author advise women to do in the fourth paragraph?A. Speak to be heard. B. Behave well in public.C. Seize the opportunity. D. Have a clear voice.CIf youre encouraged by the tiny house movement and think 160 square feet is just enough for your needs, you may want to contact the Academy of Construction and Design (ACAD) at IDEA Public Charter School in northeast WashingtonStudents in the program built a micro house with a kitchen, a bathroom, a sleeping loft with space for a queen-size bed and a storage loft, all set on a trailer for mobility. The exterior (外部) of the house was part of a continuous living exhibit in 2015and was moved to the IDEA campus so students could work with builders to complete the interior earlier this year.McMahon said the D.C. governments approval to push companies to hire District residents (居民) was at odds with the school system not preparing students for careers in construction, exploring or electrical work. McMahon gathered industry and community leaders to establish ACAD in 2005 and he said 100 percent of the companies he contacted responded positively to the idea, including major firms such as JBG, Clark Construction, Hines Construction and Boston Properties.“When students make the connection between what they are learning and a potential career, their academics improve dramatically,” said Carol Randolph, chief operating officer of the D.C. Students Construction Trades Foundation. “Some of them who didnt think college was an choice now have a better chance because their classes have become relevant to a job.”“We teach them life skills and explain that even if you start as a laborer, there are opportunities to move up quickly,” he said. “We rewrite the story for them and explain that they can work for a few years, make good money, get promoted, and start their own business or go to school with less debts.”“Parents and school advisors can be the biggest obstacles because of the negative idea of construction as a blue-collar career,” Karriem said. “I get middle-school advisors on board to talk about the opportunities this education provides. These kids are learning lifelong skills that can help them in other fields, provide them with income and allow them to take care of their homes.”28. What does the underlined part “at odds with” in the third paragraph mean?A. Inconsistent with.B. Familiar to.C. Harmonious with.D. Similar to.29. What is the purpose of the program of building a micro house?A. To satisfy different needs of people.B. To help acquire lifelong skills from the college.C. To make the college more attractive.D. To offer more job opportunities in colleges.30. What can we infer from the words of Karriem?A. Students tend to choose the blue-collar career.B. Parents and school advisors are wrong.C. Its hard to make the program popular.D. Life skills help improve scores greatly.31. Which of the following may be the title of the passage?A. A Micro House Program for StudentsB. Build a Micro House for Campus Students SoonC. Why Not Build More Tiny Houses?D. Develop Lifelong Skills of StudentsDRecently a movement was launched by Charity Cycling UK to raise awareness of dooring after discovering that many people dont know what it is. Dooring is when a driver or passenger opens the door into another road usertypically a cyclistwithout looking for other road users.Cycling UK Chief Executive Paul Tuohy told Gloucestershire Live：“Some people seem to see car dooring as a bit of a joke，but its not and can have serious consequences. Cycling UK wants to see great awareness made about the dangers of opening your car door carelessly，and people to be encouraged to look before they open.”The charity says 2,009 of the 3,000 injuries happened to cyclists, resulting in five deaths but says this might not be the full extent of the danger.Cycling UK says not all car dooring incidents will be attended by police, so the charity has written to transport minister Jesse Norman calling for a public awareness campaign urging all car occupants, not just drivers, to look before opening vehicle doors. One of the ways the charity suggests is the “Dutch reach”, where people leaving a vehicle reach over and use the non-door side hand to open the door.Cycling UK also suggests harsher laws and advice on safer road positioning for people who cycle.Mr Tuohy said：“In the Netherlands they are known for practising a method，known sometimes as the Dutch reach，which we think could be successfully encouraged in the UK.”“Cycling UK has written to the Department for Transport asking them to look into this, and highlight the dangers of “car dooring” through a public awareness THINK style campaign.”If youre really concerned about opening a door into the path of a cyclist coming behind you，consider using whats known as the “Dutch reach” to open the door. That will naturally turn you in your seat and give you a much better view of whats coming up alongside the car.32. From the text we can know that _A. drivers are to blame for dooring incidents.B. the “Dutch reach” is well received in England. C. dooring incidents are all attended by police.D. many people are ignorant of car dooring.33. Why does the author mention the figures in Paragraph 3?A. To cause public concern.B. To show the dangers of car dooring.C. To report the terrible accidents.D. To stress the importance of traffic safety.34.While doing the “Dutch reach”，you should A. use the inside hand to open the door.B. open the car door politely.C. sit still in your seat.D. use the left hand to open the car door.35. Whats the authors attitude towards car dooring?A. Supportive. B. Concerned.C. Neutral. D. Encouraging.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。Your children are watching you. 36 According to the Health Program, developing healthy habits is an important part for your children.
