(2018·烟台诊断)After a long winter,spring is the ideal time for sightseeing and exploring London’s green spaces.
1.Explore London’s parks and gardens
Springtime is the perfect time to explore London’s parks and gardens,when the city’s Royal Parks will be blooming with flowers.Go and admire the rainbow of azaleas(杜鹃花)at Richmond Park or hire a deckchair in St.James’s Park with a view of Buckingham Palace.
2.Enjoy the entertainment at spring festivals
There are a good many festivals and events held in London throughout spring.Make the most of the cultural exhibitions at the British Library Spring Festival,the Sundance Film Festival or the London Literature Festival;head to Shakespeare’s Globe,which hosts openair Shakespeare performances from late April until early October.
3.Get active
Warmer weather means there’s no excuse for staying indoors,so go for a walking or cycling tour of London.Alternatively,walk the Thames Walkway,which follows the river all the way from central London into the countryside;make the most of London’s “Boris Bikes”,which are available for hire all around the city and are free of charge for the first half hour.If you’re really looking for a challenge,sign up for the famous London Marathon,held annually in April.
4.Take to the waters
Whether cruising(航行) along the Thames River,hiring a rowing boat in Hyde Park or riding a canal boat around Little Venice,there are lots of fun ways to get on the water in London.Held every year since 1829,the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race allows teams from England’s most famous universities to compete against each other,and draws huge crowds of watching people.

(2018·福州普通高中毕业班质检)Aerial(空中的) performer Jennifer Bricker was born without legs, but she never let it stop her.
Wrapped in a loop(圈) of red silk hung from the ceiling, Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music. Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back, high above the ground—a move that is all the more daring because she has no legs.
Jennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker. She had big brown eyes, a bright smile, and huge amounts of energy. When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket(桶), they refused.
Jennifer soon learned to walkand runon her hands and bottom, and grew up fearlessly

climbing trees and bouncing on the trampoline(蹦床) with her three older brothers. “My parents didn’t treat me differently so I didn’t grasp the concept that I was different. I knew I didn’t have legs but that wasn’t stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do.”
At the age of three she was fitted with artificial legs, but she never really took to them—she moved more freely without them.
In 1996 the Olympic Games took place in Atlanta. Jennifer loved to watch the women’s gymnastics team, and especially adored the 14yearold Dominique Moceanu who competed for the U.S. When Moceanu and the women’s team won the gold, Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast, too. She took up power tumbling, which involves performing floor exercises down a runway. But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability.
At the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11 she was the tumbling champion for the state of Illinois.
Jennifer now travels the world as an inspirational speaker and acts as an aerial performer.

(2018·湖南长郡中学模拟)It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense.It takes the most coolheaded drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way toward reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship(公路驾车技能).Years ago,experts warned us that the fast increase of the car
