    The Need for Holidays
    You’ve no doubt heard people say how much they “need” a holiday，when what they really mean is that they want one.Certainly，people working under pressure feel a very strong desire to escape from work and become less tight during their holidays，and experience a changed environment. For this reason, holidays away from home are now seen by most people as necessary to their quality life. However, work for many people today are office work and mental, rather than physical tasks. These people may seek much more energy taking activities while on holiday, rather than simply lying on a beach.
    Once people become used to going on holiday, taking holidays becomes a habit. Even in a recession(经济萧条时期), for many people the holiday is one of the last things to be given up, and indeed many workers have chosen to spend some of their last pay when being laid off on a holiday, perhaps to give themselves a "lift” before facing a gloomy(暗淡的)future.
    Perhaps we don't like to admit it, but most of us also enjoy showing off about the places we have been to, and the lovely tans：dark skins we have got. The idea of tanning, however, is becoming less attractive than it was. So many tourists are now able to afford holidays in the sun that tans have become quite common；and although we join a tan together with health(and it is true that a certain amount of sunshine gives us a feeling of being healthy), it has been fully shown that sunshine，especially when received over a short, focused period of time, results in high danger of skin problems, as well as drying out one's skin and leading to more lines on your face later in life.

    阅读下列材料, 从所给的六个选项（A、B、C、D、E 和 F）中, 选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。
    A. Prepare for Rainy Days                B. Watch Your Spending

    E. Set the Goal                          F. Save More
    Steps to Retire a Millionaire
    Having a million-dollar portfolio is a retirement dream for many people. Making that dream come true requires some serious effort. While success is never a sure thing, the steps outlined below will go a long way toward helping you achieve your objective.
    61. ____
    Vacations, car, kids and all of life's other expenses take a big chunk out of your paycheck. To maximize your savings, you need to minimize your expenses. Buying a home you can afford and living a lifestyle that is below your means and not funded by credit cards are all necessities if you want to boost your savings.
    62. ____
    If you don't save, you'll never reach your goal. As obvious as this might seems, far too many people never even start to save. If your employer offers a 401(k) plan, enrolling in the plan is a great way to put your savings on autopilot. Simply sign up for the plan and contributions will be automatically taken out of your paycheck, increasing your savings and decreasing your immediate tax liability.
    If your employer offers to match your contributions up to a certain percentage, be sure to contribute enough to get the full match. It's like getting a guaranteed return on your investment. Finding the cash to stash may be a challenge, particularly when you're young, but don't let that stop you from pursuing future riches.
    63. ____
    Studies have shown that the majority of the returns generated by an investment are dictated by the asset-allocation decision. If you are looking to grow your wealth over time, fixed-income investments aren't likely to get the job done, and inflation can take a big chunk out of your savings.
    Investing in equities entails more risk, but is also statistically likely to lead to greater returns. For many of us, it's a risk we have to take if want to see our wealth grow. Asset-allocation strategies can help you learn how to make picking the right mix of securities the core of your investing strategy.
    64. ___
    Part of long-term planning involves accepting the idea that setbacks will occur. If you are not prepared, these setbacks can put a stop to your savings efforts. While you can't avoid all of the bumps in the road, you can prepare in advance to mitigate the damage they can do.
    65. ____
    Your income should rise as time passes. You'll get raises, you'll change jobs, and maybe you'll get married and become a two-income family. Every time more cash comes in to your pocket, you should increase the amount that you save. The key to reaching your goal as quickly as possible is to save as much as you can.

    任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分)
    Vince, Jason, Rosa, Danny和Donna各自打算参加学校的一个俱乐部。阅读第71~75题中的个人情况说明和A到F六个俱乐部介绍，选出特合各人个性特征的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。
    1. As a freshman in university, Vince enjoys a lot of spare time. But unlike some of his classmates who waste the time on sleep and computer games, he wants to make his spare time more colorful. He will use the first year to travel around to broaden his horizon.
    2. Having traveled a lot, Jason realized the need to keep the beautiful scenery forever in his mind. So he saved money and bought a camera. Now all he needs is the skill to catch the breathtaking moment.
    3. Smart and adorable, Rosa is a popular singer in her university. Besides, like an English-majored student, she speaks fluent and beautiful English. It always comes to her mind why not put singing and English together, it will be a perfect way to learn and entertain.
    4. Everyone has a dream, so does Danny. He dreamed of becoming a diplomat(外交官) since childhood. So he likes to read the books concerning politics, economy and foreign affairs. His classmates thus gave him the nickname "Mr. Know Everything".
    5. Donna spent her childhood mostly in her father's study, where she did a lot of readings about Chinese classical literatures. Now as a college student, she thinks she should make full use of her free time to read as many literary books as possible.

    A．Siyuan Club It was founded in September, 2007. Our club is aimed at bringing students into traditional Chinese culture and classical literature. We have had some outings for visiting cultural relics and watched art movies related to Eastern and Western ancient cultures. All these activities can build a good link between Chinese and Western cultures.
    B．View Forum This club aims to explore students' global view in politics and enable students to think logically and critically by looking at and discussing current events. There are 12 members and 4 meetings have been held on the discussion of several different topics. Students are encouraged to focus on the happenings in the world and build their own opinions.
    C．Mathematics Club It is an academically-oriented club organized by students who are interested in mathematics, who are strong or even weak at mathematics. It is like an extended stage to continuously study mathematics outside the classroom. There are about 45 club members arranging regular team work, collecting updated exercises for extra practice, organizing lecture notes for revision and recruiting new members.
    D．Photographic Club It was established by a group of shutterbugs with the purpose of promoting an interest in photography. Students can learn how to take and edit photos using professional software and have the opportunities to exhibit their works. Also the members are required to take pictures in all the university affairs.
    E. Youth Club     It was founded in October, 2006. It is aimed at making students' spare time more colorful. Our club mainly organizes trips for both individuals and organizations and all our activities are based on investigation in order to give good service to students.
    F. Harmony Club     Established in November 2007, this club is to teach traditional English song; and deliver English culture and music. One reason why it is so popular is that it often invites famous musicians to give coaching lessons here. You are welcome to join it.

      1.  One of the best things you can possibly do is to start your own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.

    The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club.    2.  Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.

    Next you need some friends to be in your club with you.    3.  All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same things as you.

      4.  You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.

    At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!

    Now you have just almost everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can spend a lot of time making them.    5.  Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.

    So there are you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!

    A．That’s easy.

    B．Enjoy your own club!

    C．Invite a designer to join you.

    D．What are you interested in?

    E. Summer vacation is just around the corner.

    A．   Decide to Be Happy

    B．   Lower Your Expectations

    C．   Learn to Enjoy the Moment

    D．   Look for the Good in Everything

    E．   Let People Deal with Their Own Problems

    F．   Focus More on What You Can Control Than on What You Can’t

    So many times I hear people say that they will be happy once a certain event occurs. They think that once they move into a new house, start their new job, travel or retire they will be happy. But it doesn’t work that way.

    If you truly want to be happy, here’s what to do.

    1

     

    You are not just a victim of circumstances or your emotions. Think about it this way. If you are in a horrible argument with someone, and the person you most respect enters the room, what will happen? The fighting will likely stop immediately, your mood will change, and so will your behavior. You do have control, and you are the one who decides how you will face the day!

    2

     

    We are never disappointed unless we have expectations. If you base your emotions on the need for certain things to happen, you will likely be let down most of the time. Instead, work hard, and treat everything good that happens as a bonus for which you can be thankful.

    3

     

    Don’t get too wrapped up in issues involving friends or family. We are each responsible for our own lives, and even when someone makes a bad mistake, it is not up to you to make things better. And remember that worry doesn’t help anyone!

    4

     

    You might not be satisfied with your income, but there’s no point complaining about it. Improve your diploma so that you can get a better job in the future. You may have an incurable illness, such as diabetes, but the fact that it’s incurable doesn’t mean that it cannot be managed.

    5

     

       You don’t have to be a Pollyanna(盲目乐观者)about life, but you can see the bright side of almost every situation if you just make a point of looking for it. Happiness is not an uncatchable mouse! Once you have made up your mind that you are going to be happy despite what is going on around you, the task becomes easier. One of the key things to remember is that happiness doesn’t come from outside but begins on the inside and actually spread outward, and can influence everyone around you in a positive manner.
