9.A few years ago,I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D.C.I saw many of our nation's treasures,and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks(人们)in the streets.

4.Determination is the quality you show when you've decided to do something and you won't let anything stop you.There are different kinds of determination.(36)B It means you work hard to finish a difficult task to achieve your goals despite obstacles.Another one is coasting determination,which means you're putting off short-term satisfaction for success of long-term goals.For example,there is someone who is saving money for a big trip.(37)DDefine success for yourself.Being determined is a skill that can be learned.To achieve it,firstly,you need to define success for yourself.You can ask yourself questions like:how do you want people to see you?How would you like to make an impact?(38)E
(39)F Once you know what success means to you,you will need to come up with goals that will help you achieve that success.It's better to have a combination of big goals and small ones.Once you've worked out what you want to achieve,it's time to figure out exactly how you can achieve your goals.
Remove negative thinking.It is a must.(40)C For example:if you find yourself thinking"I'm so weak that I can't even do one push-up,"change that thought.Instead,you should think,"My goal is to be super strong and I'm working on doing push-ups."More importantly,you should not only be focusing on the things that need to be improved,but also figuring out your strong points and how to use those to help you succeed.

A.So learn to identify the negative language you use.
B.One kind of them is uphill determination.
C.Determination helps you solve these problems.

The last time I was there he greeted me by saying,"I want to tell you why I let you use my house.It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a poor horse trainer who would go from stable (马厩) to stable,farm to farm,training horses.As a result,the boy's high school was continually interrupted (打断).One day in the last year of high school,he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to do when he grew up.

he should do.His father said,‘Look,son,you have to make up your own mind on this.However,I think it is a very important decision for you.'
"Finally,the boy turned in the same paper,making no changes at all.He wrote,‘You can keep the low mark and I'll keep my dream.'"

18.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 emptying 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.(36)D
(37)A
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(38)EDuring 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.(39)FBargain hard to get the best price.
Choose local transportation
(40)GInstead,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.

One day we saw a busload of school children on an outing.The bus had stopped at a hamburger stand where we were having a rest,and half-a-hundred children poured out.Busloads of children,of course,were not new,and I hardly gave them more than a glance until I realized what they were doing.Chatting and laughing,the children were picking up as much waste as they could carry from around the stand and its parking area.They took the waste to their bus,where several bags had been brought out for the waste.
Within five minutes,before our astonished eyes,that parking lot had been picked clean.Impressed,I walked over to their teacher."I'm interested,"I began."In fact,I'm surprised at how those kids worked this place over.Is this some kind of environment protection class?"
"You'd never guess it,"he said,"but we're a history class."
"A history class?"
"That's right.We're on our way from Boston to visit Fort(城堡) Ticonderoga.Before the trip,one of the things we tried to find out was how the Ticonderoga countryside looked back in old days,"he said."In fact,we made a little table display of the scene,using toy buildings and toy trees.When one kid jokingly suggested we ought to put a few bottles and cans around to make it look real,the others blamed him.But the boy argued that he bet Ticonderoga would look like that today.Besides,if they thought it was so funny,were they prepared to clean it up if he was right?The class decided,however,that the entire fort might be too big a task to do.But they agreed to clean up any roadside area where they stopped on their way to the fort.And so that's what they did!"

25.How did the author feel when he understood what the kids were doing?A
A.Amazed.
B.Bored.
C.Disappointed.
D.Unconcerned.
26.Why were the students going to Fort Ticonderoga?A
A.To learn history.
B.To go outing for fun.
C.To clean the roads to the fort.
