England is the perfect place for you to travel to if you’re thinking about taking your first abroad trip. You’ll need to prepare for the trip with some international travel basics and map out a realistic itinerary(旅程) to make the most of your experience.
Get your paperwork done.
31 If you don’t have a current passport, you’ll need to bring your pictures and some proof of your citizenship — a birth certificate, a certificate of naturalization, or a certificate of citizenship — to a post office. Fill out a passport application, and in a month you’ll have your passport.
Plan your trip.
Plan your trip to England in early to mid-October or in mid-to-late March, because that’s when
flights are the cheapest. During the winter, the days grow very short. Besides, sunlight is sometimes limited to less than eight hours per day. 32
Settle yourself in England.
Find affordable accommodations by staying at a hostel. Hostels vary in shapes, forms and sizes. 33 If you can afford to stay at a hotel, make sure you are aware of check-in times and policies.
To get around England, the most common methods are bus and rail. 34 Passes for a full day, week, or month can save you money if you’re going to take the Tube for even a few stops.
35
Buy a budget travel book to find attractions and sites in cities such as: London, Bath, Cambridge Oxford, Canterbury, Leeds and Wimbledon.

Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning, and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock. 11 Here’s how to make one.
● 12 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reasons, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
● Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 13 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.
● Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 14
● Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. 15 If not, take another look at other methods you could try.
A. Get a sleep specialist.
B. Find the right motivation.
C. A better plan for sleep can help.
D. And consider setting a second alarm.
E. If the steps you take are working, keep it up.
F. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.
G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee.

With the development of society, the life span of humans has stretched. Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. 36. In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.
One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 37. Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.
38. They help the boy defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men.
39. Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a woman’s body c
ells have a tendency to age more slowly than a man’s. Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly. 40.
A.Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.
B. The female hormones also protect the body in another way.
C. Women are also helped by their female genes.
D.The biological factor plays an important part.
E. However, women, on average, live longer.
F. Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.
G. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions.

A good book can be satisfying. If reading is a habit you’d like to get into, there are some ways to develop it.
● Realize that reading is enjoyable if you have a good book. If you have a difficult book and you are forcing yourself through it, it will seem like a task. 33
● Set time. You should have some time during every day when you’ll read for at least 5 to 10 minutes. 34 For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch and even dinner if you eat alone.
● Always carry a book. 35 When I leave the house, I always make sure to have my car keys and one book at hand. The book stays with me in the car, and I take it into the office and to appointments and pretty much everywhere I go.
● 36 Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. Don’t lie down unless you’re going to sleep. There should be no television or computer near the chair, and no music or noisy family members / roommates. If you don’t have a place like this, create one.
● Reduce television / the Internet. If you really want to read more, try cutting back on time on TV or the Internet. 37 Still, every minute you reduce of the Internet / TV, you could use for reading. This could create hours of book reading time.
A. Go to bookstores.
B. Find a quiet place.
C. This may be difficult for some people.
D. Wherever you go, take a book with you.
E. Have some good tea or coffee while you read.
F. It means you will read no matter how busy you are.
G. If this happens, give up the book and find another one that you’ll really love.

There is an English saying, "_____41_______." Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body.
_____42_____.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. ______43_______. Laughter increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
_______44______. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated (忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. ______45_______.
A. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like
laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter
B. Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body.
C. They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.
D. Laughter is the best medicine.
E. Laughter can prolong people’s life.
F. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.
G. Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice.

Your friends have one, maybe even two or three. 36 Does it seem that everyone has one but you? No, it is not the latest video game, but something much more fun---a family pet.
Dogs and hamsters(仓鼠) are both fun to hold and pet, but they relate to people in different ways. For example, dogs enjoy human contact. They love to play with their owners. They also like to show affection(喜爱) and love licking(舔) their owners’ faces. 37 They need fresh food and water every day, and they need exercise. They also need someone to take care of them when their owners go out of town.
38 Having contact with people is not important to them. They like to sleep when people want to play. Unlike dogs, hamsters do not like being petted. Many will hide when their owners want to pick them up. Hamsters are also very independent. 39 Hamsters may be low on affection, but they need less daily care than dogs do. An owner usually fills up the food and water dishes only once a week. Hamsters need exercise too, but they get their exercise by running on wheels in their “houses”. If their owners go out of town, hamsters can be left alone.
40 The choice is yours.
A. Dogs like to be petted.
B. Your neighbors have one.
A. Hamsters are very different from dogs.
B. They like to spend their time exploring.
C. They need food and water just as dogs do.
D. However, dogs need a lot of daily care, too.
E. Dogs and hamsters both make good family pets.

Time is on your side
How frequently do you say “I don’t have time”? Quite often, I guess. Every time we say those words, they make us feel weak and out of control. You are in control of your hours and your life. 31
I know it’s not as easy as simply turning off the TV. But here are two steps that will help you take back control and get time on your side.
★ 32
Be honest: do you spend an hour or two visiting Weixin and QQ every day? Are you spending time with people that you don’t really like just to please them? Are there meetings you attend that you can politely refuse?
It’s time to get real about the hours that add up to a lot of dissatisfying nothing. Think how you can cancel daily activities that are not useful. 33
★Change your language.
Words matter. They have power. Saying “I don’t have time” is an excuse for not wanting to do something. Here are some good, empowering alternatives (选择):
“I choose not to start that project until next year.”
“ 34 ”
“I’d love to go out this weekend but have important work I need to do first.”
Get better at saying no. 35 Use little pockets of time (friend running late, car stuck in traffic, meeting ending 10 minutes early) to do some productive thinking. All these things can add up over time more than you believe!
A. Identify your blocks.
B. But you are likely wasting a lot of it!
C. I really don’t have enough time to do it.
D. Replace them with things that satisfy you.
E. Take no notice of all those unimportant messages on your phone.
F. I’d love to read that book — I’ll get to it after my homework is complete!
G. When you don’t have a plan for your life, someone else will plan it for you.

36 This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall.
37 He decided to turn his little school house into a dormitory (宿舍楼) for the summer holidays. Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success. A few years later, the school house was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there. __38__ This was the first hostel (青年招待所).
Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to know each other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their cards of membership in a hostel organization in their own country. 39
Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts
of the country or world will happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinner with many kinds of dishes. Sometimes a program will be organized after the meal with dances, songs, or short talks followed by a question period. 40 For this reason, a few weeks spent ‘hosteling’ can be just as useful a part of one’s education as classes in school.
A. In 1970, a young German school master had an idea which changed this situation.
B. People can stay in the hostel if they brought enough equipment with them.
C. One can learn a lot about other places, just by meeting people from those places.
D. As a result, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby.
E. For years, children in the industrial areas of Europe seldom left their cities to see the beauties of the countryside.
F. More and more young people went to the hostel for summer holidays.
G. This card will permit them to stay in a hostel all over the world for very low prices.
