    It’s 8:30, time for John to start work. So he turns on his radio. Then he eats breakfast. As he eats, he reads his e-mail and reviews his to-do list. Then he sits on the sofa and thinks about an article he needs to write ... Wait a minute! Radio? Breakfast? Sofa? What kind of workplace is this? Well, actually it is John’s house, and he is a telecommuter — he works at home, communicating with the workplace through the Internet.

    Like John, millions of people — and their employers — are finding that telecommuting is a great way to work. Telecommuters can work on their own schedule(预定表). They work in the comfort of homes, where they can also look after young children or elderly parents. They save time and money by not traveling to work. Their employers save, too, because they need less office space and furniture. Studies show that telecommuters change jobs less often. This saves employers even more money. Telecommuting helps society, too, by reducing pollution and traffic problems.

    Jobs that are suited to telecommuting include writing, design work, computer programming and accounting. If a job is related to working with information, a telecommuter can probably do it.

    1.From the passage we can learn that John does his job ___________.

    A. by telephone B. in his office C. away from home D. through the Internet

    2.One of the advantages of telecommuting is that you can _________.

    A. get along well with other workers

    B. follow your own timetable

    C. work for several employers

    D. enjoy a lot of traveling

    3.Telecommuters change jobs less often, so _________.

    A. they can get more work experience

    B. they will have a longer paid holiday

    C. their employers can save lots of money

    D. their employers will give them a higher pay

    4.What does the underlined words “suited to” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

    A. 相似于 B. 不同于 C. 适合于 D. 有益于

    5.The writer wrote the passage to_________.

    A. introduce telecommuting

    B. call on a better workplace

    C. reduce pollution and traffic problems

    D. show the disadvantage of telecommuting

    My name is Jake. I’m brown, and rather short, standing just a little past my master’s knees. My friend Andy once took me to a dog show. I’ve never seen so many different-looking dogs in my life! They all looked pretty and handsome, and their masters were very proud of them when they jumped and ran across so many barriers at that dog show. Andy promised that he’d let me join a dog show, too, if the organizers opened a division for my “breed”.

    While I was watching that show, I remembered my friends at the pound（走失猫狗的待领处）， where I spent two long weeks. We were kept in cages, and although we were well-fed, every day during those two weeks, I hoped to have someone touch my head and play with me.

    You could just imagine how glad I was when, one day, Andy came in with his dad and pointed in my direction. I stood up on my hind legs and did a little jig （一种快步舞）, and then I wagged my tail and tried to chase it. The father and his son kept laughing at what I was trying to do, and in a few minutes, I was riding on their car on the way to my new home. I was Mr. Archer’s gift for Andy’s eighth birthday. I heard him shout that I was the best gift ever!

    My favorite amusement is hanging my tongue out of the car window and letting the wind blow on my face. I just love long drives! It is during these times that I think of all my friends whom I left behind at the dog pound. I hope that soon, little boys or girls would also pick them and give them new homes, so they would be able to enjoy walks in the park and trips to the beach, as I do now.

    1.Why didn’t Jake join the dog show?

    A. Because he wasn’t handsome enough.

    B. Because his “breed” was not included.

    C. Because Andy didn’t allow him to join in.

    D. Because he couldn’t jump and run across barriers.

    2.What can we learn about Jake when he was at the pound?

    A. He couldn’t get enough food. B. He couldn’t enjoy full freedom.

    C. He had to stand all the time. D. He was satisfied with his life.

    3.Why did Mr. Archer come to the pound that day?

    A. To donate some food. B. To volunteer at the pound

    C. To find his son a gift. D. To spend his holiday

    4.According to the last paragraph, what wish does Jake have?

    A. Having more long drives with Andy.

    B. Meeting his friends at the pound again.

    C. More boys and girls coming to play with him.

    D. His friends at the pound being adopted.

    5.What did Jake feel after it got a new home?

    A. happy B. terrible C. dissatisfactory D. blue

    Recently I have taken quite a interest in cooking. I suggest that the school organizes a cooking-learning activity to teach students to prepare any delicious food. It can be really fun and I bet there will be a lot communication going on with students. Besides, it’s a good way to build up team spirits. The school can even hold a competition to see whom can cook the most delicious food. Much importantly, I think cooking is a vital skill for the people nowadays. What is known to all, eating-cooked food is a much more healthy and little costly way of life than eating in a restaurant.

    Most people who took vacations were happier than non-vacationers. So why not start planning your next trip right now? Here are the 4 places you can visit in 2017.

    New Zealand

    No doubt, many readers—particularly those who love outdoor recreation—will have dreamed of visiting beautiful New Zealand. Now may be the time to do it. The number of airline seats available to travelers going to New Zealand has roughly doubled in the past year, which means you can get relative deals on airfare to the country.

    United Kingdom

    It won’t be cheap to visit the U. K., but, it will be cheaper than it has been in years, experts say. The pound has fallen significantly against the dollar in recent months, and airfares are good deals now, too. One of the best ways to get deals is to book a hotel-and-airfare package.

    The Gulf Coast of Florida

    The western edge of the Sunshine State includes such cities as Clearwater, Tampa and St. Petersburg and is known for blue waters and sugar-sand beaches—and, more recently, for relaxing beach vacations on a budget. Seven new hotels opened in that area in 2016, offering extra value of consumers.

    Iceland

    This country has been on budget travelers’ radar for a number of years, but it’s still offering plenty of deals. Hotels in the country are reasonable. Three-star hotels in May coast about $130 per night and in January $180 per night. One thing not to miss in Iceland: seeing the Northern Lights, best done from October to March.

    1.Which destination is especially recommended for tourists who prefer outdoor activity?

    A. New Zealand. B. United Kingdom.

    C. The Gulf Coast of Florida. D. Iceland.

    2.In which month should you go to visit Iceland if you want to save money?

    A. January. B. March. C. May. D. October.

    3.What benefits can the four places offer tourists?

    A. Nice food and goods.

    B. Cheap airlines or admission fees.

    C. Convenient service and transport.

    D. Economical flights or accommodations.

    Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family becomes large, one of their cars is sold and they will buy a van.
