During my free time one day, I wandered down a lonely path into the woods and sat against a tree. Then I saw one of the camp counselors approaching me. "Oh great," I thought, since counselors were always trying to cheer you up or make you laugh.
"Hey," he said, "mind if I have a seat?" I shrugged(耸肩). I wasn't going to encourage him, but I couldn't exactly stop him, either. He sat down alongside me and extended a hand. "I'm Gary," he said, "and you're Erica, right?" I nodded. "You don't exactly look like you're having a good time," he began.
I crossed my arms and gritted my teeth. "Look," I said, "I didn't want to come to camp, I don't like it, I'm not having fun, and it basically stinks." I glared at Gary.
"So there's nothing here at all for you, huh?" he asked.
"Nothing," I answered.
"Let me show you something," said Gary. He got up, and I followed him along the path until I heard a sound like a roaring freight train.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Wait and see," he replied, with a small smile.
When we rounded the corner, I couldn't believe what I saw. There was the biggest waterfall I could ever imagine, right in front of me. "Cool!" I said, and I could feel my eyes getting bigger and a smile tugging at my mouth.
"Still think there's nothing here for you?" asked Gary. "Because there's a whole lot more of this kind of 'nothing' around here."
I had to admit, the waterfall was impressive.
"Look," said Gary, "camp is what you make it. You can be sullen(阴郁的) and closed-minded and have a rotten four weeks, or you can take a look around you and see some of the incredible sights and appreciate the opportunity. It would be useless for me to try to make you have fun. You can only do that for yourself. But if you loosen up a little, you might actually have a good time." With that, he turned and walked away, leaving me on the path.
That night, by the campfire, I found myself singing along with everyone else. By the time the four weeks were up, I didn't want to leave. I'd seen some amazing things and made some great friends.
Beauty is where you find it. Life is what you make it. I think it's going to be a good year this year. I mean, I'm going to work to make it one. Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll get to go back to camp next year!
1.When Gary walked to Erica, you could predict that ________ .
A. he would help her feel better
B. she would say hello to him
C. he would talk about his life
D. she would tell him to go away
2.What can you tell about Erica from the beginning of the story?
A. She looks forward to this camp trip very much.
B. She has won a camp trip because of her good performance at school.

D. She doesn’t see anything fun in the camp trip.
3.What can you tell about Erica from the ending of this story?
A. She has many close friends at home.
B. She is looking forward to the future.
C. She's a good student who gets mostly A's.
D. She often gets into trouble at school.
4.What does the underlined word “counselor” most probably mean in Para 1?
A. A person who teaches you how to make fun of others.
B. A person who gives you help and advice.
C. A person who guides you when you are travelling.
D. A person who teaches you how to make a camp.
5.Which is the theme(主题) of this story?

Mother stayed at home cooking and cleaning while Father left for work. Two or more children took the bus to school. In the evening, all the family members got together at home again. This is what a traditional family was like twenty years ago. But now great changes have happened in British families.
As many as 2 out of 3 marriages now end in divorce(离婚), and many children have to live with one parent and only see the other at weekends or during holidays.
There has been a great increase in the number of working women with children. Many women have to work to support themselves and their children. Even in the family where there is no divorce, both parents have to work in order to survive.
Also women are no longer happy to stay at home taking care of children. Many of them have jobs and some of them can even make more money than men, the traditional breadwinners.
What’s more, the increasing number of single-parent families have caused an increase in the crime rate (犯罪率) among children in a way. It is thought that if a child doesn’t have a father, he or she will be harmed.
However the changes may be good for some people. For women it’s now much easier to have well-paid jobs. Although it is difficult to be a working mother, it is no longer seen as a bad thing for children.
As for some children, they learn how to solve problems by themselves at an early age.
1.Which of the following statements is TRUE about a traditional family in Britain twenty years ago?
A. Both the mother and the father had to work to support the family.

D. A family had only one child.
2.Which of the following things is NOT mentioned in the passage ?
A. The increasing number of divorces.
B. The increasing number of fathers who stay at home.
C. The increasing number of working mothers.
D. The increasing crime rate among children.
3.According to the passage, a “breadwinner” refers to a person who ________.
A. has got some bread
B. is good at making bread
C. stays at home raising children
D. works to support the family
4.From the passage we can learn that ________.
A. In a family where the parents are not divorced in Britain，the mother doesn’t have to work.
B. Children whose parents are divorced have to start working early.
