Rather than just reading books, hed get us to act the stories. In one lesson, we watched a video of Lord of the Flies. Then he gave everyone a character form the book and the whole class read the book aloud. I thought it was much more fun than reading alone.

You begin this trip by visiting the wonderful wild life parks. As well as travel by coach, there is also an opportunity to take a short trip in a hot-air balloon over the parks to get a better view of the wildlife.After visiting the wildlife parks you have the choice of either spending the rest of your holiday（7 nights）climbing Mount Kilimanjaro the highest mountain in Africa or, for the not so adventurous, sunbathing on the beautiful white sand beside the Indian Ocean.（It is also possible to stay an extra week at the coast.）Day 1: Fly from London Heathrow to Nairobi, Kenya.Day 2: Drive to the National Park at Lake Manyara. This park is famous for the large variety of birds, which you can see there early in morning.Day 3: Leave Manyara for the Serengeti National Park, where you may see elephants, lions and giraffes.Day 4-9: Spend these days travelling by coach around the park. All visitors have a window seat on the coach with a clear view for photographs of the park and animals. Although the animals are not worried by tourists taking photos, we ask visitors to speak quietly so as not to disturb them too much.Accommodation in tents is normal in the parks. All have private washing facilities. The tents have plenty of space, are very comfortable and have a solid floor. The guides are highly experienced, but there is always the possibility that you may be very unlucky and not see certain animals.Day 10: Departure for the mountain or the Indian Ocean.The Indian Ocean Hotel is on the beach and all rooms have air-conditioning and sea views. All water sports are available and there are tennis courts, which you can use free of charge except during high season, when there is a small booking fee.No special skills are needed to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, but if you choose this trip you must already be fit and healthy and ready to accept some very basic accommodation in mountain huts.For practical reasons, children under the age of 12 may not be accepted on certain tours.( ) 53.

These include such foods as meats, milk products and eggs. The Heart Association noted a number of studies which show that nations where people eat a lot of high cholesterol foods have a higher number of deaths from heart disease.However, the new report disagrees. It was made by the Food and Nutrition Board of the United States National Academy of Sciences. The new report by a team of 15 scientists said there is no evidence to link cholesterol in food directly to heart disease. It noted seven major studies involving people whose diet was changed to include only foods low in cholesterol. The studies found only a very small reduction in the number of heart attacks and there was no reduction in the number of heart attack deaths. Other studies have shown similar results. They found that a change to low cholesterol foods will have only a minor effect on the amount of cholesterol in a persons blood and only a minor effect on the number of deaths.Medical scientists hope that two huge new studies may settle the cholesterol dispute. The tests are designed to learn if low cholesterol foods or anticholesterol drugs, or both, can reduce the amount of the substance in the blood and reduce the chance of a heart attack. The two new studies will be finished in the next year or two.The new Academy of Sciences report also discussed other possible links between food and disease. The scientists, in general, are deeply concerned about some of the recent advice given about food. They noted that a number of private groups, government agencies and several popular books have advised that people can prevent heart disease, cancer and other sicknesses by changing the kinds of foods they eat. The new report said there is often no good scientific evidence to support such advice. In fact, the scientists said such ideas often produce only false hopes or unnecessary fears.( ) 56. People could reduce the chance of suffering a heart attack by _ according to paragraph 1.A. eating less foods with a lot of cholesterolB. eating a lot of high cholesterol foodsC. eating food without cholesterolD. eating anticholesterol drugs( ) 57. What does the underlined word “dispute” in paragraph 3 mean?A. report B. argument C. control D. experiment( ) 58. Medical scientists believe that _.A. tests have been designed to settle the cholesterol disputeB. drugs have been tested to reduce the amount of the substance in bloodC. changing the kind of food can prevent heart disease, cancer and other sicknessD. low cholesterol foods or anticholesterol drugs or both can reduce the chance of a heart attackDThe next few decades will see great changes in the way energy is supplied and used. In some major oil producing nations, “peak oil” has already been reached, and there are increasing fears of global warming. Consequently, many countries are focusing on the switch to a low carbon economy. This transition will lead to major changes in the supply and use of electricity. Firstly, there will be an increase in overall demand, as consumers switch from oil and gas to electricity to power their homes and vehicles. Secondly, there will be an increase in power generation, not only in terms of how much is generated, but also how it is generated. To meet these challenges, countries are investing in Smart Grid technology. This system aims to provide the electricity industry with a better understanding of power generation and demand, and to use this information to create a more efficient power network.Smart Grid technology basically involves the application of a computer system to the electricity network. The computer system can be used to collect information about supply and demand and improve engineers ability to manage the system.Smart Grid technology offers benefits to the consumer too. They will be able to collect real-time information on their energy use for each appliance. Varying fee throughout the day will make customers use appliances at times when supply greatly exceeds demand, leading to great reductions in bills. Smart meters can be connected to the Internet or telephone system, allowing customers to switch appliances on or off remotely.With these changes comes a range of challenges. The first involves managing the supply and demand. Sources of renewable energy, such as wind, wave and solar, are unpredictable, and nuclear power, which is also set to increase as nations
