Sightseeing Tours in Germany
Germany has a variety of cities each with its own characteristics, from the busy city of Berlin,
to the ancient city of Cologne, to the Bavarian capital of Munich. Thankfully, these major German
cities offer sightseeing tours that offer the opportunity to better explore the surrounding regions
and the country's most historic sites.
Berlin on Bike
Berlin on Bike takes visitors through the German capital via five bicycle tours, all with guides.
Regular tours include the Wall Tour and Berlin's Best, with stops at some of the city's most
famous landmarks, such as the Reichstag explores what life was like in East Berlin under
Communist Rule. The cost of the tour includes the bike and helmet rental, and tourists may choose
to continue renting their bikes once the tour has ended.

double-decker bus. Passengers can hop on and off at various stops throughout the day. This tour

Munich's opera house and Karlsplatz, the gate to the historic city. The bus features a narrated tour
guide and offers an English-language option.

Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move
away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help their children,
she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer
relationship than they would have had in separate cities.
No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to the adult
children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even
President Obama's mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into
the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents.com,
83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the
American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama's family.
"In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far enough or fast
enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand ,a
magazine for grandparents.“We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be
near them, especially when you're raising children.”
Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her
grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit
frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult
child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.
4.Why was Garza’s move a success?
A. It enabled her to make more friends.
B. It improved her living conditions.
C. It strengthened her family ties.
D. It helped her know more new places.
5. What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson's decision?
A. 17% expressed their support for it.
B. The majority thought it was a trend.
C. 83% believed it had a bad influence.
D. Few people responded sympathetically.
6. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?
A. They wanted to live away from their parents.
B. They were eager to raise more children
C. They were unsure of themselves
D. They had little respect for their grandparent.
7. What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?
A. Get to know themselves better.
B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.
C. Sacrifice for their struggling children.
D. Make decisions in the best interests of their own.
C
Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon?Many people feel this
way after lunch.They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness.Or,in summer,
they may think it is the heat.However,the real reason lies inside their bodies.At that time-about
eight hours after you wake up--your body temperature goes down.This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night
or day.The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern.They
slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world,people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day.This is
especially true in warmer climates , where the heat makes work difficult in the early
afternoon.Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate.A daily nap
gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general.In countries
where naps are traditional,people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.Many
working people,unfortunately,have no time to take naps.Though doctors may advise taking naps,
employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance,however,here are a few tips about making
the most of your nap.Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get
up.A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward.This
can also happen if you sleep for too long.If you do not have enough time,try a short nap---even
ten minutes’ sleep can be helpful.
8.Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?
A. Because your body temperature goes down at that time.
B. Because it's hot in summer.
C. Because you eat too much for lunch.
D. Because you didn't have a good sleep last night.
9.What can we learn about "naps" according to the last paragraph?
A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.
B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don't.
C. If you take naps every day,you'll never suffer from heart disease.
D. Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people's health.
10.What can we infer from the passage?
A. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.
B. You'll feel sleepy at regular intervals(间隔).
C. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.
D. If you get up at 6:30am,you'd better take a nap at about 1:30pm.
11.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Just for a Rest B. A Special Sleep Pattern
C. All need a Nap D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.
D
Chimps(黑猩猩) will cooperate in certain ways, like gathering in war parties to protect their
territory. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct to help
one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly decline
to share food with their children, who are able from a young age to gather their own food.
In the laboratory, chimps don’t naturally share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where
he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no great effort, a plate that also provides food
for a neighbor in the next cage, he will pull at random ---he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor
gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.
Human children, on the other hand are extremely cooperative. From the earliest ages, they
desire to help others, to share information and to participate in achieving common goals. The
psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of experiments with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see an unrelated adult with hands full
trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help.
There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform. and share are not
taught ,but naturally possessed in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very
young age before most parents have started to train their children to behave socially. Another is
that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that
social intelligence develops in children before their general cognitive(认知的)skills, at least when
compared with chimps.In tests conducted by Tomtasell, the human children did no better than the
chimps on the physical world tests but were considerably better at understanding the social world
The core of what children’s minds have and chimps’ don’t is what Tomasello calls shared
intentionality. Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking. But
beyond that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to
be part of a “we”, a group that intends to work toward a shared goal.
12. what does the word underlined “instinct” in paragraph one mean?
A. the way people or animals naturally react or behave, without having to think or learn about it.
B. the physical or mental power or skill needed to do something.
C. the ability or right to control people or events.
D. the ability to do an activity or job well, especially because you have practiced it.
13. What can we learn from the experiment with chimps?
A. Chimps like to take in their neighbors’ food.
B. Chimps tend to provide food for their children.
C. Chimps seldom care about others’ interests.
D. Chimps naturally share food with each other.
14. Michael Tomasello’s tests on young children indicate that they____.
A. trust adults with their hands full
B. know how to offer help to adults
C. know the world better than chimps
D. have the instinct to help others
15. The passage is mainly about ____.
A. the helping behaviors of young children B. ways to train children’s shared intentionality
C. the development of intelligence in children D. cooperation as a distinctive human nature

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30
a. m. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground
floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, "Just a minute," answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long time, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her
side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and
we walked slowly towards the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my
passengers the way I would want my mother treated."
"Oh, you're such a good man." She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address,
and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?"
"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.
"Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don't have any
family left. The doctor says I don't have very long. "
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价器). For the next two hours, we drove
through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood
where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone
dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring
into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now." We drove in silence Lo the address she
had given me.
"How much do I owe you?" she asked.
"Nothing." I said.
"You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I answered.
She said thanks to me, but she looked so sad.
