Like Beijing this is the heartbeat of America. While in washington D.C. you should check out the White House, the presidential monuments, Fords Theater where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated (暗杀) and the US Capitol building, which is the home of the US government.When youre ready to leave Washington D.C., go to Chinatown and jump on a bus up to New York. These buses are really cheap and convenient.New York is like a fantasy world where you can do almost anything! My friend from Thailand said the best Thai food she ever ate was in New York City. So eat as much as you can, see a show on Broadway and climb the stairs of the Statue of Liberty. If you really want an American experience, eat a hot dog while you watch a New York Yankees baseball game.Now, because you are my friends, I will recommend to you one of the great secret places in America: New Hampshire (新罕布什尔州). Even though this is my home state, I am not biased (偏爱). New Hampshire is one of the most beautiful places in the world. In the fall, hike the White Mountains and be surprised at the bright red, yellow and orange leaves on the trees. In the winter, drink a warm glass of hot chocolate before you ski through freshly fallen snow. And in the summer take a boat out of Lake Winnipesauke and enjoy crystal (水晶般的) clear water.Actually, youll have a good time just about any-where. 51.

Recently I found some different sites online that offer information about what kids can do. Below is some of that information, along with questions to think about to help you come up with your own ideas.Ideas for summer work:Parks and Recreation Programs.Babysitting (当临时保姆) during the day of school.Working part-time at a day care for the summer.Car washing.Working at local vegetable stands.The easiest way for you to find ways for your child to make money is to think about others inconveniences (不方便). Think of things you need done, or would like to have done, and what you would consider paying for these things to get done. Once you have some ideas, you can sit down with your child and talk to them about what they would be interested in doing. Then once you have an idea of what they want to do you can help them come up with fair prices.Preferably you would want to only have your child working with people you know and trust, or in the least bit you could have your child pick a partner. That way with each of them carrying cell phones, even those without service can call 911, they will be much safer.You can find out more information and many more ideas for kids to use to make money during their summer holidays by visiting .55.

CBeautifully cut grass, elegant (雅致的) white clothes, cheering fans and exciting matches make Wimbledon, in London, the home of tennis.Last Monday, the famous British tournament (锦标赛) opened at the All England Lawn Tennis Club. It is the third Grand Slam tournament of the tennis season. Wimbledon comes after the Australian Open and the French Open, and is followed by the US Open.As the oldest tennis tournament in the world, Wimbledon is famous for its special rules and traditions. The players clothing, including their shoes, must be entirely white.In 2002, the Russian player Anna Kournikova was forced to change from her black shorts into another pair on court. Between 1988 and 1990, US legend Andre Agassi refused to play because of the all-white rule.The UKs unpredictable summer weather is part of the tournament. If it begins to rain, players and fans have to wait patiently for it to stop. Then, they cheer when the covers come off the grass courts.Many British fans do not think the courts should have a roof, because they want to keep tradition.Wimbledon is not just famous for great tennis matches. Fans like to eat strawberries and cream while watching. Every year 27,000 kilos of strawberries and 7,000 liters of cream are eaten.Many British people are very proud of the tournament, but disappointment is another Wimbledon tradition for loyal (忠实的) fans of British players. Wimbledon has not been won by a British woman since 1977, and not by a British man since 1938.59. Which of the following tournaments is the last to be held?A. The Australian Open. B. The French Open. C. The Wimbledon Open. D. The US Open.60. Which of the following is TRUE about Andre Agassi?A. He never attended the Wimbledon Tournament.B. He was forced to change clothes on court.C.

Its mentioned in the passage that _.A. players must continue their matches even when it rainsB. all British fans hope to build a roof to cover the courtsC. fans can enjoy eating strawberries and cream while watchingD. new rules should be made in Wimbledon62. Many British fans feel disappointed because _.A. British players havent won in Wimbledon for a long timeB. the British government wants to change the rules in WimbledonC. the grass courts will be rebuilt soonD. many foreign players refuse to play in WimbledonDThe US company iRobot made a new kind of sub-marine (潜水艇), called the Seaglider, last week.The robotic submarine was developed by re-searchers at the University of Washington. It is about 1.8 meters long and weighs about 52 kilograms. It moves through water at a speed of up to 20-25 kilo-meters a day and can stay at sea for up to six months before needing a battery recharged. This special character results from its special propulsion system (动力系统). Unlike a traditional submarine, the Seaglider does not have a propeller (螺旋桨). It has an air tank that is emptied and filled to adjust (调整) depth, as well as a pair of wings that help to guide and lead the submarine.A traditional submarine, on the other hand, “puts water inside tanks to make it heavier, or it will expel (排出) the water to make it lighter,” explained Frederick, a professor at the University of Washington.Each time the Seaglider comes to the surface, it sends the data which it collects to its controllers by satellite. Operators can also send the submarine new information. For example, they can change its course in their office through giving the computer orders.Seagliders are already being used for scientific re-search, such as environmental studies. iRobot also hopes to sell the submarine to the military (军队). At $100,000 each, the Seaglider is a cheap way to keep an eye on the ocean.“These things can go out there and monitor (监控) large areas of ocean because theyre very persistent. They can go for thousands of miles on their own. At the same time, you can tell them to stay in one place and they can circle,” says Helen Greiner, chairwoman of iRobot. “This is science fiction stuff in many ways, but its really out there and working.”63. Unlike a traditional submarine, the Seaglider _.A. is only 1.8 meters long and weighs 52 kilogramsB. has an air tank to adjust depth instead of a propellerC. can travel at a speed of 150 kilometers a day D. can be used to do environmental research64. When the Seaglider comes to the surface, it will _.A. change its battery B. send the data to its controllersC. force out a lot of water D. stay in one place65. Nowadays, the Seaglider is being used only _.A. by the military B. in science fictionC. by the government D. in scientific research66. It can be inferred from the passage that the Seaglider _.A. can change its course itself B. doesnt need a battery rechargedC. doesnt have a long life D. is not driven by a human beingEHonesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. Of course, this didint include her when she told me that if I didnt eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldnt give me any presents.But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all, the doctor patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential, Or so I thought.I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科).
