International Language Camps

International Language Camps (ILC) provides fun language and activity-based summer and winter camps for children and teenagers aged 7-17 from around the world.

We offer holidays and vacations with a large number of activities and a complete French/ English language

teaching program, all in the heart of the French Alps. Students can choose to stay for 1-6 weeks.

Our summer and winter camps take place in Megève, a French ski resort (滑雪胜地). It is situated in the

foothills of the Mount Blanc massif (山峦), close to Chamonix and the Mount Blanc Tunnel, which is the gateway to Italy and the Aosta Valley. The nearest international airport is Geneva which is only 75 km away.

Our campers have the chance to study a foreign language with a multilingual (多种语言的) team from all over

the world. As well as French/ English language classes, students can also take part in all sorts of sports including mountaineering, water sports, skiing, ice-skating and more.

Our campers can communicate with many young guys in a multicultural background, which naturally leads to

the respect of others.

One of ILC’s purposes is to help our campers build confidence and discover their inner strengths.

While many parents are being forced into homeschooling for the very first time because of COVID-19, we’ve been doing it successfully with our child since 2017.

Our son Silas was attending a school, which we were happy with. That changed. When every day Silas came

home from school, he would crawl under a piece of furniture and weep for half an hour.

Despite our best efforts in communication with his teachers and the administration for over a year, we couldn’t seem to improve the situation. We made the decision to enroll him to start at a new school the following fall and brought him home to finish the lessons of the spring semester.

After a little time went by, we realized that our 8-year-old son blossomed into a peaceful and joyful person. As

much as we wanted to try the new school in the fall, he wanted to keep homeschooling. We agreed, as we decided it would be foolish to change something that was working so well.

After going to bed at 9 p. m. on weeknights, Silas woke up at about 7a. m. without an alarm, because he was

thrilled to hop on the computer and get his schoolwork done. Why? So that he could have free time on electronics. He was allowed screen time after finishing all his schoolwork and housework. He got quite a bit of time most days to play video games. At 5 p. m., he must be off his device, and we brought it into our bedroom to minimize temptation. He was really good about observing the rules, and I thought he was happier for having limits.

4．What did the writer do first when his son cried after school?

A．He quarreled with the teachers. B．He asked his son to quit school.

C．He sought help from the school. D．He helped his son finish the lessons.

5．What does the underlined word “blossomed” in paragraph 4mean?

A．Burst. B．Grew. C．Stayed. D．Faded.

6．Why was Silas excited to do his schoolwork?

A．Because he liked studying very much. B．Because he woke up so early every day.

C．Because he did not want to do housework. D．Because he could spare time playing video games.

7．How did the writer prevent his son from playing too long on the computer?

A．By locking him into his bedroom. B．By monitoring him to obey the rules.

C．By throwing away the electronic devices. D．By keeping him doing homework all day.

My family—my wife Joan, our two teenagers Hannah and Joseph, and I—live in Atlanta with our two dogs. Ten years ago, we moved into our dream house—a big three-story home, thinking it would bring us the joy we

desired. It was a beautiful place, but as our children grew up, our sense of togetherness began to disappear slowly. In

the big dream house, we sometimes seemed to be strangers to each other.

One day when Hannah was 14, she became upset about the differences between the world’s haves and the

have-nots (穷人). She expected us to be “a family that makes a difference in the world, even if it’s a small difference.” My wife, Joan, asked her, “What are you willing to sacrifice? Your house? Your room?” Hannah said yes to both.

After talking it over as a family, we decided to sell our house and move to one that was half its size and price and

donate the difference to those in need.

First, we needed to figure out where our money would go, a process that took about a year. We finally chose The Hunger Project, a US-based organization. It works with villagers in Africa, Asia and South America and helps them fight against poverty. Our money went to pay for building two centers. Each has a meeting place, a bank and a health clinic. Together, the centers would serve more than 20 villages in eastern Ghana. We also traveled to meet the villagers and were greatly impressed by their hard work and warmth.

To be honest, we were a little worried at first. Would we regard the new home as being too small for us? Or

would we think we had given up too much? Two years later, I can tell you: It’s the best move we have ever made. While we worked together on our family project, we became much closer. As Hannah said the other day, “We learned how to really trust each other.”

8．After they moved into a larger house, the author’s family ________.

A．were not as close as before B．wanted an even larger house

C．often went traveling together D．often let poor people share their spare rooms

9．What does the underlined word “sacrifice” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Hope for. B．Look for. C．Give up. D．Build up.

10．Why did the author’s family sell their big house?

A．To go abroad. B．To help the poor.

C．To treat Hannah’s illness. D．To save money for the future.

11．How did the author feel about his family’s move?

A．It was well worth it. B．It was a bad decision.

C．It was a waste of money. D．It wasn’t as satisfying as expected.

D

Like most people, Michael Scullin, associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at Baylor University,

likes to listen to some light music before going to bed. However, one day when he realised he was waking up in the middle of the night with a song stuck in his head, he saw an opportunity to study how music and particularly songs stuck in the head might affect sleep patterns.

Scullin’s recent study investigated the relationship between music listening and sleep, focusing on a

rarely-explored mechanism (机制): involuntary musical imagery (无意识音像), or “earworms”, when a song or tune replays over and over in a person’s mind.

The study involved a survey and a lab experiment. The survey involved 209 participants who completed a series

of surveys on sleep quality, music listening habits and earworm frequency, including how often they experienced an earworm while trying to fall asleep, waking up in the middle of the night and immediately upon waking in the morning.

In the experimental study, 50 participants were brought into Scullin’s Sleep Neuroscience and Cognition

Laboratory at Baylor, where three popular and catchy songs were played before bedtime — Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off, Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe and Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’.

“We randomly asked participants to listen to the original versions or the instrumental versions of the songs.

Participants responded whether and when they experienced an earworm. Then we analyzed whether that impacted their nighttime sleep physiology,” says Scullin.

In both the survey and experimental study, earworms were reported throughout the night by participants, with

those catching an earworm taking longer to fall asleep, spending more time in the light stages of sleep, and waking up more times during the night. Besides, the instrumental versions of the songs caused about twice as many earworms as (and more sleep problems than) the original versions.

“We thought that people would have earworms at bedtime when they were trying to fall asleep, but we certainly

didn’t know that people would report regularly waking up from sleep with an earworm,” says Scullin.

Past studies have linked late-night music listening with better sleep in those with insomnia (失眠), perhaps because it can relax the body. The researchers behind the new study suggest that actually it might be worse for our sleep — that even after the tunes stop, our brains continue to process them for several hours.

Scullin suggests avoiding listening to music right before bed to limit the chance of a catchy tune taking hold in our minds. Engaging in some other cognitive activity before sleeping, like making a list of jobs for the next day, might also help clear the mind.

12．Why is Michael Scullin’s experience mentioned at the beginning of the text?

A．To add some background information of the study.

B．To offer an example of how earworms affect sleep.

C．To show concern for the negative effects of bedtime music.

D．To introduce the study on music listening and sleep quality.

13．What did the researchers want to find out?

A．What kind of music is good for people’s sleep.

B．How bedtime music helps us have a good sleep.

C．Whether we benefit or suffer from bedtime music.

D．Why it is difficult for our brains to get rid of earworms.

14．What are the researchers surprised to find?

A．Earworms can badly affect people’s sleep quality.

B．Earworms can frequently happen before one’s sleep.

C．Earworms can make it difficult for people to fall asleep.

D．The effect of earworms varies with the versions of the music.

15．What does Scullin advise us to do?

A．To only listen to our favorite music.

B．To clear our mind right before bed.

C．To avoid listening to music at night.

D．To enjoy some light music before bed.
