With the summer holiday just around the corner, it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations. Here are some tips that can help you enjoy your holiday without empting your pocket:

Travel off-season

Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts. During the peak season, the hotel and flight prices increase quickly, and you’ll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists. 1.

2.

Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms. Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding. Stay with the locals. If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period, renting a small apartment is a good choice.

Eat like a local

Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new?3.During your family trip, try new food where the locals eat. This will not just save money, but also provide you with a new and different experience. For smaller meals and snacks, avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout. 

Don’t hesitate to bargain

Tourist- heavy places are known for overcharging for just about everything. Clothes, travel goodies, souvenirs, etc. are very expensive at these places. 4.Bargain hard to get the best price.

Choose local transportation

5.Instead, take buses, railways or subways, which are always cheaper. If you are planning to stay for a while, you can consider renting a car. Hiring a car is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot.

A. Save on hotels.

B. Surf the Internet while traveling.

C. Therefore, avoid buying anything there.

D. So it’s best to find out when the off-season starts.

E. Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs.

F. For this reason, you shouldn’t feel ashamed to ask for bargains.

G .As a tourist, avoid taking taxis whenever possible, since they are expensive.

Climate change will increase US wildfires,and the smoky air will cause terrible problems in areas far beyond those burned,reports an environmental group Thursday.

Two-thirds of Americans,or nearly 212 million,lived in states suffering from wildfire smoke three years ago,according to the report by the Natural Resources Defense Council(NRDC).These areas,which had smoke for at least a week,were nearly 50 times greater than those burned directly by fire.

“It affects a much wide area of the United States than people have realized.” says author Kim Knowlton,a Columbia University health professor,adding the smoke can move up to hundreds of miles.She says the smoke contains air pollution and can cause several kinds of diseases.

Texas was hit hardest in 2011,when smoke stayed for at least a week in areas that are home to 25 million people,according to NRDC’s report.Illinois,which recorded no wildfires within its borders,came second with

nearly 12 million people affected by smoke that moved in from elsewhere.The other eight states with the most people in touch with smoky air were,in descending order: Florida,Missouri,Georgia,Louisiana,Michigan,Alabama,Oklahoma and Iowa.

Nearly two dozen states had no wildfires within their borders in 2011,but eight of them still had at least one week of smoky air: Illinois,Missouri,Iowa,Kansas,Nebraska,Indiana,Wisconsin and Ohio.

Only 18 states and the District of Columbia had no people in touch with at least a week of smoke that year,although five of them—Alaska,California,Hawaii,Nevada and Utah—had a large area burned by wildfires.

The problem will only get worse.Knowlton says.Scientific research shows climate is causing higher temperatures and health problems.

1.We can learn from the first two paragraphs that_______.

A. climate change killed many Americans

B. there are fewer states burned by wildfires

C. every state had wildfire smoke for at least a week

D. most Americans suffered from wildfire smoke 3 year ago

2.Which of the following states had wildfires within its borders in 2011?

A. Iowa. B. Kansas. C. Ohio. D. California.

3.The underlined word “descending” in the fourth paragraph probably means _______.

A. going down B. coming true C. looking practical D. turning back

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. Climate change causes more wildfires.

B. Wildfire smoke becomes a serious health problem.

C. More wildfires cause climate changes.

D. Air pollution becomes a terrible problem.

Researchers with the University of Cambridge say they have the first real evidence of a new state of matter, some 40 years after it was first theorized.

Known as “quantum spin liquid(量子旋转水)”, the matter state causes normally unbreakable electrons to break into pieces called “Majorana fermions.” These fermions are an important discovery. Physicists believe the material is vital to further develop quantum computing. Computers employing Majorana femuons would be able to carry out calculations beyond the scale of modern computers quickly, they say.

Quantum spin liquid explains some of the eccentric behaviors inside magnetic(磁性的) materials. In these materials, the electrons should behave like small bar magnets, all adjusting towards magnetic north when a material is cooled. But not all magnetic materials do this—if the material contains quantum spin liquid, the electrons don’t all line up and become involved.

“Until recently, we didn’t even know what the experimental fingerprints of a quantum spin liquid would look like,” researcher Dr.Dmitry Kovrizhin says. “That created a challenge for the researchers, so they decided to employ neutron scattering(神经扫描) techniques to look for evidence of break”. What they found surprised them. The features matched nearly exactly with quantum spin liquid models theorized by physicist Phil Anderson in 1973. The results of their breakthrough were then published in the scientific journal Nature Materials on Monday.

Don’t get too excited just yet on its applications, though. Kovirzhin’s work is only the beginning and as we’ve seen with quantum computing there is a lot of work to be done. But it’s still exciting regardless.

“It’s an important step for our understanding of quantum matter,” Kovrizhin says. “It’s fun to have another new quantum state that we’ve never seen before—it presents us with new possibilities to try new things.”

1.What can we learn about “Majorana fermion” according to Paragraph 2?

A. It is an important discovery 40 years ago.

B. It is a surprising theory raised by Phil Anderson.

C. It is a key piece in developing quantum computer.

D. It is an unbreakable electrons employing computer.

2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “eccentric” in Paragraph 3?

A. Strange. B. Complex. C. Permanent. D. Obvious.

3.How did the researchers make the breakthrough?

A. By adjusting magnetic materials.

B. By using neutron scattering techniques.

C. By repeating maths calculations.

D. By changing electronic structure.

4.What is the author’s tone about the future of quantum matter?

A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic.

It is no doubt that health is the most important thing in our life.As a Chinese proverb go, “Health is blessing”.Should we be always ill in bed, how can we enjoy life?

To keep healthy, we must develop a healthy way of life.First of all, we should keep on doing sports on a regularly basis, because it can strengthen both our body and mind, refresh ourselves and making us work more efficiently.Secondly, we must keep balanced diet to provide our body with various nutrition we need, but we should refuse junk food.Remember, it is through the mouth where diseases enter into our body.Thirdly, a good sleep is also vital to our health.Stay up too late at night often results in poor health.As middle school students, we need better sleep to do better in our lessons.

Recently I read the Human Development Report.I couldn't help thinking about another problem why the world is facing hunger.According to the report,2400 people are dying from hunger every day;nearly 13 million in southern Africa will be worried about their food supply because of earthquakes,floods or wars.

In a word,hunger remains the biggest problem of the world today.It's strange to see that man can travel to the moon,but still doesn't know how to feed himself.You may ask,“Who steals our bread?”The first thieves should be population growth,poverty and loss of rich farmland.

In less developed areas like South Africa,the population grows faster than the crops.It is almost impossible for its government to feed so many people and provide education for them.So it is very important to control the population growth and protect their farmland in countries whose people are suffering from hunger.

According to the report,the world's food production is enough to feed everyone if it is given away well.But the problem is that the developed countries are eating food that should be given to the poor.Although they are just using their own earning,the fact is that they are coldly watching others starving away.

Luckily,some developed countries such as Netherlands,Norway and Sweden have done a lot to help those hungry people in African countries.We hope other developed countries will follow them.

1.According to the passage,which of the following cannot help make fewer people hungry?

A. Poor countries control their population growth.

B. Poor countries protect their rich farmland.

C. Rich countries produce more food to feed themselves.

D. Rich countries give some food to the poor ones.

2.The fourth paragraph mainly tells us________.

A. poor countries are cold and going to die out

B. rich countries notice the problems of the poor countries

C. rich countries are trying their best to help poor countries

D. rich countries aren't willing to help poor countries

3.According to the last sentence,the writer hopes________.

A. poor countries should learn from rich ones

B. more rich countries will help the hungry people

C. more countries will give help to Norway

D. more countries will be as rich as Sweden
