Knowing what to do at checkout and properly preparing for it can turn a potentially
heated situation into a quick thank you and goodbye. Below we made a list of five
things you should remember at hotel checkout.
Don’t be late to check
Hotels may add an extremely high price for being just a half hour late. If you know
you won’t make the cutoff time, it never hurts to call ahead and try to negotiate away a
potential charge.
Don’t forget to double check the room and safe
Make sure you don’t leave things behind. If you have an early flight or checkout
time, pack up as much as you can the night before so that last-minute rush isn’t too
annoying. Also, be sure to take out anything in the room safe.
Don’t forget to tip the housekeepers
It’s always polite to leave some money for the people keeping your room clean.
Don’t ignore the detailed bill
You may be in a rush, but give the detailed bill a careful look to see if the hotel
charge is different from the rate you initially booked.
Don’t get angry
Shooting at the assistant manager standing behind the front desk probably won’t
help.
When dealing with an unexpected item on the bill, think about how difficult it can
be to deal with annoyed customers. Keep calm and things may be solved better and
sooner.21. The hotel will charge you more money if you .
A. check before cutoff time
B. do not call the hotel ahead
C. are late in checking out
D. negotiate with the clerks
22. Which of the following does the author suggest doing?
A. Leaving something behind.
B. Being sure to keep the room clean.
C. Doing the pack-up as early as possible.
D. Tipping the housekeepers to show respect.
23. What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the passage?
A. To suggest a way to solve problems properly
B. To provide more information about the hotel.
C. To show the uneasiness of assistant managers
D. To protect customers from unnecessary dangers.
24. In which section of the magazine can you probably find such a passage?
A. Fitness. B. Nature.
C. Lifestyle. D. Travel.

With Halloween just around the corner, today we will explore the world of ghosts
in this program! The Merriam-Webster online dictionary says the word “ghost” goes
back a thousand years to the “earliest recorded evidence of the language.” The first
meaning of “ghost” was “the seat of life or intelligence.” And it still has that meaning in
some expressions.
However, today, the word “ghost” usually means the soul of a dead person. This
meaning is based on the idea that a person’s spirit and body are separate. The spirit can
continue existing long after the body has died.
During Halloween, kids dressed as ghosts are common sights. The costume is very
simple: just throw on a white cloth that covers you from head to foot. But do not expect to win any costume competitions! You would not have a ghost of a chance. People use
this expression to mean that something is very unlikely to happen.
The sight might even make you turn pale as a ghost. This is used when people lose
color in their face. Sometimes this happens when a person is scared. But a bad cold or
flu can also turn you as pale as a ghost.
“Ghost” can also be a verb. In the 1880s the term ghost meant a person who works
in secret for another person. Ghostwriters produce speeches for politicians. They also
produce books for authors who want to tell their life stories but are not professional
writers.
And sometimes ghostwriters are involved in a series of books, like the children’s
stories based on the teenage detective Nancy Drew. The series began in 1930. The
author given credit was Carolyn Keene. But she was not even real! Ghostwriters did all
the work.
Another expression using “ghost” as a verb is simply to ghost. This does not mean
to die. It means to leave a place or event without saying “goodbye” to anyone. You can
ghost from your job. You can ghost from a party. You can even ghost from a
relationship. This is when you stop communicating with someone because you are
simply no longer interested in them.
But I will not ghost from Words and Their Stories.
25.The basic meaning of the word “ghost” nowadays is ___________.
A.the secret of another person
B.the color of one’s face
C.the spirit of a dead person
D.the origin of intelligence
26.If someone says “you don’t have a ghost of chance to win the match”, he
means__________.
A.without doubt you won’t lose the match
B.the match is unlikely to happen
C.it’s impossible for you to win the match
D.you are too scared to win the match27.What can be inferred about the word “ghost” according to the passage?
A.Kids dressed in a white cloth like ghostscan win a costume competition.
B.A bad cold can turn people as pale as a ghost because they fear illness.
C.It was Carolyn Keene who ghostwrote the children’s stories.
D.A person devoted to his job is unlikely to ghost from his job.
28.This passage is likely to appear in __________.
A.a Halloween poster
B.a radio program
C.a fashion magazine
D.a newspaper advertisement
C
I visited Elba last June, joining Mary and John on a bicycling vacation. They made
the arrangements for the car, hotel and bicycles. I studied the history of the island,
which of course particularly features Napoleon.
Napoleon (now I know) picked Elba as a place for peace when he was forced to
give up the throne (王权) as Emperor of France in 1814. Far from being a prison island,
Elba is beautiful with towering mountains, thick forests and sweeping bays and beaches.
It is also an island filled with treasure. Very early on this island, locals discovered
rich deposits of iron. Soon outsiders, too, discovered the iron and 150 other valuable
minerals on this little piece of land. Long before Etruscans and other Greeks set foot on
it, Dorians had moved in by the tenth century B. C. and were mining the island. The
Romans ruled next, obtaining the minerals and building grand houses overlooking the
sea. From the twelfth century until the nineteenth, the island was traded back and forth
and was passed to France in 1802. Then came Napoleon, the new ruler of Elba.
I was eager to visit his house in Portoferraio. The Emperor lived with his court and
his mother, but his wife, Marie Louise had ensconced herself in the splendid Viennese
palace of her father, Emperor of Austria. She lived safely there and showed little interest
in visiting her husband in his mini-kingdom. Apparently, Napoleon wasn’t troubled
much by this. He was too busy riding everywhere on horseback, building roads, modernizing agriculture and, above all, sharpening his tiny army and navy into
readiness for his escape.
In the formal gardens behind the house it seemed to me that I could imagine the
exiled (流放的) conqueror’s anxious thoughts. He might gaze over where I stood now,
toward the lighthouse of the Stella fort, the sandy bay, and across it, the green
mountains of the Tuscan coast. Napoleon spent only ten months here before making his
victorious return to France and the throne.
29. What did the author do for the visit to Elba?
A. He did research on its past.
B. He arranged transportation.
C. He planned bicycling routes.
D. He booked accommodation.
30. Who might be the earliest outsiders to Elba according to the text?
A. Napoleon and his army. B. Etruscans and other Greeks.
C. Dorians. D. Romans.
31. What does the underlined word “ensconced” probably mean?
A. Settled. B. Locked.
C. Cured. D. Controlled.
32. What came to the author’s mind during his visit to Napoleon’s gardens?
A. Beautiful views on Elba.
B. Terrible living conditions on Elba.
C. Napoleon’s ambition to regain power.
D. Hardship of Napoleon’s return to France.
D
Skyscrapers are the symbol of Urban life. City people are used to seeing tall
buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural(农村的)
life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the
increasing food needs.
By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the earth's population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion
people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If
current farming practices don't change, we will need an area of new land to produce
enough food for the planet.
Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly
skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to
make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.
Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional
farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would
not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost
and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.
Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural
sunlight during the day, it wouldn't be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would
need additional light sources(来源), such as artificial light.
Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more
practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers,
researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative(革新的) farming practices are needed
to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the
consumer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.
33. What primary problem could vertical farming settle?
A. Poor state of rural life.
B. Shortage of food supply.
C. High cost for transporting crops.
D. Environmental pollution by transitional farmings
34. What is the advantage of vertical farming?
A. It can produce organic food.
B. It requires little care.
C. It can benefit transport industry.
D. It needs very low cost.
35. What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality?A. Farmable land. B. Crop diseases.
C. Light sources. D. Climate conditions.
36. What can be the best title of the test?
A. Future Food Needs.
B. Symbol of Urban Life.
C. Farming on Rooftops.
D. Farms of the Future.

like headless chickens meeting deadlines that they create. One doesn’t have to live this

even 10 minutes will do wonders to help you relax your mind and get out of the stress
zone.
Let it all out—40________So calling or meeting up with a person who can listen
and empathize with us, is often a great way to relax. It’s important that we don’t go into
victim model and get too negative. When we let out our frustrations, it should be done in a positive manner, and with lightheartedness, even joking about the stress we’re
under.
41________—Probably one of the most difficult skills at first to master, but in the
end one of the most rewarding to learn in our fast-paced society is the attitude of
gratitude. We can do some gratitude list making right on the spot to get out of our heads
and away from all that we wished we had but don’t, and to be thankful for all that we do
have. I swear learning how to do this will relax you in a way that will change your life
for the better.

When I was three years old, my parents discovered I had serious trouble in hearing.
That situation forced them to make an important 42 about my education. Instead of
sending me to a private school for the deaf, they decided to "mainstream" me. All of my
classmates and teachers would have normal hearing.
Because of my hearing disability, I was 43 asking everyone, “What did he/she
say?” But I worried that everyone would soon grow tired of 44 everything back to
me. Since 45 the environment was so important to me, every time people around me laughed or smiled, I did the same 46 toward them even though I usually had no idea
what was going on.
Mrs. Jordan, my 5th grade teacher, changed all of that with only a 47 three-word
phrase. One morning, she asked the class a question. I read her 48 and immediately
raised my hand. I couldn't believe it—for once I knew the answer. But, when she called
on me, I was afraid. Here was an opportunity to 49 the powerful teacher and show
her I was 50 of her love. 51 my fears, I felt confident because I was sure I had the
right answer. I took a deep breath and nervously answered Mrs. Jordan's question. I will
never forget what happened next. With brightened eyes and a wide smile she raised her
voice and 52 ,“THAT’S RIGHT STEPHEN!” For the first time in my young life, I
was an instant star
From that day forward, 53 my grades and speech improved. My 54 among my
classmates improved and my 55 toward life did a complete turn. And it
all 56 with Mrs.Jordan. “THAT’S RIGHT STEPHEN!”

概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Alongside air and water, food is a necessity for human beings to survive and thrive.
But it’s a lot more than that. As Mariette Dichristina of Scientific American wrote: “The
most intimate (亲密的) relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human
being. Instead, it is between our bodies and our food.”
Nowadays, for most people in the worlds wealthiest countries, food is a hobby, an
enthusiasm, and even something fashionable.
Turn on the TV in the US, UK or France, and you’ll find at least one channel feeding
this popular obsession.
And most of us know at least one person who thinks of themselves as a “foodie”. It’s
almost impossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or
three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen.
But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging (夸耀), many of us forget how
much we take food for granted. This is why World Food Day is held each year.
Take Kenya for example. This east African nation has been suffering terrible droughts.
The result is that people are beginning to starve. Children in particular are suffering, with some of them even dying.
This may seem shocking to know, especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of
food in a completely different way. But even in the UK, families on low incomes are
forced to use food banks—European organizations that hand out donated food to those
who can’t afford to pay for it themselves.
So what can we do on World Food Day? One good way to spend it would be to feel
humble and appreciate what we have. After all, food is essential for survival, but not
everyone is as lucky as we are when it comes to dinner time.
