Boys and girls have nearly two months holiday before them as they leave school by train and car to return home to their fathers and mothers.The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children. The weather is usually good, so that one can spend most of ones time playing in the garden or, if one lives in the country, out in the woods and fields. Even if one lives in a big town, one can usually go to a park to play.The best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for the others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something which they will talk about for the whole of the following year.In England, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to Southend or Margate, Blackpoor or Clacton, he is usually quite able to do so.Now, what is it that children like so much about the seaside? I think it is the sand, sea and sun more than any other things. Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under ones feet, of salt water on ones skin, and of the warm sun on ones back that make the seaside what it is.21. After the examination, all students leave for home_A. by train only B. by airC. by bike D. by either train or car22. The summer holiday lasts_.A. as long as two months B. more than two monthsC. one and a half months D. a little less than 2 months23. July and August are the brightest months for most children, for they can_.A. stay with their parents for all the vacation.B. do more readingC .play out-of-doorD. meet their old friends24. Children like the seaside so much, because they can _.A. swim in the sea B. play with the sandC. take a sun bath D. do all ofBIn England, we look forward to our birthdays for 364 days a year!We invite special people to celebrate it with us.The PresentsPresents are opened as soon as the children are awake. They cant wait for the birthday presents later in the day!The CardsFriends and family send birthday cards. Sending birthday cards is a custom that began in England about 100 years ago.The PartyThe birthday child will have a party to which friends and family are invited. Visitors to the party bring presents for the birthday child. The children play games such as musical chairs and pass the parcel (包裹).The CakeThe birthday cake is decorated on a theme (主题). A candle for each year is lit and placed on top and the child blows out the candles making a wish. We dont put objects inside the cake as stated on many websites.The Bumps (碰撞)It used to be traditional for the birthday child to have the bumps. Friends would hold the child by the legs and under the arms and lift the child up and down bumping them gently on the ground. The number of bumps given is the age of the child plus one for extra good luck. As this can be dangerous, clapping is often done instead.The SweetsSome children do take sweets to school to share with their classmates on their birthdays.25. In England, the birthday present is opened _.A. before the child wakes upB. immediately after the child wakes upC. as soon as the child gets upD. during the birthday party26.

How English children celebrate their birthdaysCChange is a natural part of language development. The words you like to use are probably a little different from those that your grandparents used when they were young. A study carried out by a British company found that the use of e-mail has had a bad influence on the standard of written English.According to the research, computer users today are too busy to hit the “shift” buttons on their keyboards e-mails are often written in lower case, that is to say, with no capital letters for names or the beginning of sentences. Spelling mistakes are generally accepted even in formal e-mails. And nouns are often used as verbs (e.g. Please bookmark this site).With the development of the Internet, e-mail and mobile phone messages, a new language has developed within just a few years we call it Weblish. The latest Oxford English Dictionary has included many new words showing the changes in our communication culture.While some language experts are concerned about the future of English and want to do something, John Simpson, chief editor of the dictionary says, “The standards may be different now but it has certainly encouraged writing and communication, which means a faster development of language change. There are a large number of words that either come from the Internet or have been given new meanings by the Internet.”28. According to the research, people often write e-mails in lower case to _.A. save time B. show kindnessC. make fun D. be different29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Spelling mistakes are not allowed in todays e-mails.B. The Internet develops new words as well as new meanings to some old words.C. Weblish is only used in e-mails.D. We cannot find Weblish in a dictionary at present.30. According to the passage, John Simpson probably agrees that _.A. the use of e-mail stops the development of languageB. mistakes in e-mails are very important to EnglishC. everyone should learn to write e-mails in WeblishD. the Internet has brought great changes to EnglishDNo matter where you travel in Asia, youll find yourself faced with a new culture.
