Writing journals has been one of the most helpful things I’ve ever done. Through writing journals I’ve not only learned a lot about myself, but also removed a lot of obsessive (煩惱的) thoughts, by writing them down and considering them.

Journals give you a place to write down your honest thoughts without being afraid of what people will think of you. There are some ideas for writing journals:

? Draw pictures

? Write poetry or short stories

? Goals: daily and long-term

? Respond to a magazine article that you are interested in

? Write about obsessive thoughts and try to find what’s causing them

? A list of things you are proud of (It can always increase your confidence when you need it)

? Make a pro/con (贊成/反對) list when you’re trying to make a decision: most of the time the decision will start to be clearer afterwards

The best way to start is to decide where you want to write your journal. (Though it’s called the journal, it doesn’t mean you can only do it in a “journal”) . If you like the traditional style of journals, then use a notebook, blank paper or graph paper, whichever you like best. If you prefer to go digital, start a blog. You can make the blog public or private, and it’s a good way to keep track of articles or pictures you find online. (You can link to them.)

Even if you feel there’s nothing for you to write about at first, you might be surprised to find that once you start, you can’t stop.

1.What does writing journals help the author do?

A. Make many friends.

B. Do many helpful things.

C. Be free from some worries.

D. Learn a lot about other people.

2.Why is making a pro/con list useful?

A. It increases your confidence.

B. It helps you get what you want.

C. It helps you make great progress.

D. It helps you decide what to do.

3. What do you think about writing journals as a beginner?

A. You have little to write.

B. Writing journals is fun.

C. You’re good at writing.

D. It’s hard to keep track of articles.

Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere wall away from your college.

King’s Art Centre

A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.

You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the masters’ or get more creative with paint–free of charge.

The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.

The Botanic Garden

The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.

The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.

Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.

The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.

Byron’s Pool

Many stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I’m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.

It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf, a famous writer,—over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.

1.The main idea of the passage is ________.

A. interesting stories of Lord Byron

B. an approach to becoming creative in art

C. the colorful life in the countryside

D. some places for weekend break

2.If you are a wildlife enthusiast, you’d better go to ________.

A. Byron’s PoolB. the Botanic Garden

C. King’s Art CentreD. Cambridgeshire

3.According to the passage, the following statements are wrong except ________.

A. there is a small charge for attending the masters’ class

B. Byron liked swimming naked in the lake

C. Byron seemed to like keeping pet bears

D. Hissing Sid and Flytrap are impressive animals

4.The author’s purpose in mentioning Virginia Woolf is to show ________.

A. she was a famous writer

B. she was keen on swimming

C. she was Byron’s admirer

D. Byron’s Pool is a pleasant place

The name sounds funny but the idea is no joke: it’s a personal toilet called the pee-pool, Anders Wilhelmson, a Swedish architect, is the inventor of the pee-pool.

He became interested in the idea of sanitation after taking part in a research project on the social and political development of cities. One of the most common problems he found in developing countries was the lack of toilets. He wanted to do something to help, so working with others, he started the project in 2005, and the next year started a company called Peepoolple.

The toilet is a single-use bag made of environmentally friendly plastics. The inside is treated with urea(尿素), a chemical commonly used as fertilizer. The hotter the weather, the more quickly the waste turns into what is needed by plants. The sanitation process can be as soon as a couple of hours or as long as two to four weeks, you can just bury it in a pot and grow whatever you like.

The company expects to start selling the bags in August in Kenya and Bangladesh, but it is just beginning production and sales in Nairobi now. Full production could reach about half a million bags a day and people may be able to buy the pee-pool in countries Vietnam, Bangladesh, etc.

The United Nations says more than two and a half billion people around the world do not have good sanitation. Many have no choice but to use the outdoors, which is not only bad for the environment, but also harmful to people’s health. Each year, poor sanitation leads to three fifths of those people getting an infectious disease which on average causes one out of 1,000 patients to die.

Jack Smith, the founder of the World Toilet Organization, says “This is quite an unacceptable situation given the fact that we are living in the modern world, and strangely, many of them own televisions, phones but have no toilet.”

1.What was the original purpose of Anders Wilhelmson in starting the company?

A. To protect the local environment.

B. To earn a lot of money from the project.

C. To do research on the social development.

D. To help solve the problem of lack of toilets in developing countries.

2.What can be learned about the pee-pool from the passage?

A. It can be used over again.

B. Its sanitation process doesn’t last long.

C. It works better in summer than in winter.

D. It should be buried in a pot after being used.

3.In which place can people buy the Pee-pool now?

A. Nairobi.B. Kenya.C. Sweden.D. Bangladesh.

4.The fifth paragraph is written mainly to tell us that ________.

A. poor sanitation may cause many problems

B. many people don’t care for the environment

C. many people get ill from using the outdoors

D. quite a number of people die from poor sanitation

5.The underlined word “This” in the last paragraph probably refers to ________.

A. the outdoors being damaged

B. many places being short of toilets

C. many people having TVs and phones

D. many people getting an infectious disease

When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can’t be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.

Certainly, most of the world’s great religions（宗教）order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally（道德方面） right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.

First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil（惡行）. Secondly，there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor，but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.

Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.

It is hard to come to any final conclusion；there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness (道德之善) of the giver.

1.What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A. Moral deeds of people.

B. Religious activities of the church.

C. Moral goodness of the giver.

D. Arguments on giving to beggars.

2.What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed?” in the second paragraph?

A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.

B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.

C. We don’t meet with those who need help any more.

D. Now it is the government’s duty to help the beggars.

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.

B. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.

C. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.

D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.

4.In the last paragraph，the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion，because ________.

A. the cases can be so different

B. there are so many beggars

C. there is so much money wasted

D. there are so many different arguments
