Copenhagen Destination Guide
The modern city of Copenhagen combines the best of European cafe culture and Scandinavian architecture. It's charming and compact with lots of local history to dive into. Although spending time in Copenhagen can become expensive, there are many ways to experience the city on a budget as well.
Attractions
Copenhagen is one of the world's best cycling cities. To see the city with ease, rent a bike or take a small group tour to see the sights, including the Little Mermaid, the island of Amager and the community of Christiania. You can also take a canal boat tour to see the city from a unique view. The Tivoli Gardens offer a sense of love in the evenings. There are some excellent museums to explore. Be sure to add the Museum of Art and Design to your travel plan.
Transportation
Kastrup Airport is the first destination for most visitors. It typically takes less than 15 minutes to get from the airport to the city center by train, so all the visitors prefer this way to travel between the two places. Canal boat tours are the easiest way to see the city's attractions. Cycling is the fastest and most flexible way to get around, and it’s a refreshingly pedestrian-friendly city as well.
Tips
●Find local sandwich shops to eat like the locals do and give your wallet a break.
●Museum lovers should have a Copenhagen Card, which provides free entrance to about 60 museums and many other attractions too.
●Consider visiting Copenhagen in the autumn, when it's a little cold but accommodations become much cheaper than those in the summer.

Growing up, I always envied my friends who lived in one town in their whole lives. Coming from a military family makes this impossible. My brothers and I soon found that if we didn’t like a place we lived in, we’d soon be moving to a new place. Through all the ups and downs, I now realize that everything I’ve done, seen, and learned has made me into the person I am today.
The field day was the best day ever created. Being good at sports which I had done together with parents seemed to help me find my position at a new school. Despite the hot weather in San Antonio, Texas, I had to take outdoor activities. Sometimes we took the family mountain biking after school. My brothers and I were arranged to join in the swim team and practice yoga. These are the things I remember about my childhood. Now I thank my parents for teaching me these vital principles, which I will have with me the rest of my life.
I was always the shy girl and afraid to be myself. This didn’t bother me until I reached junior high school, when some girls judged me by what I wore, who I talked to and how skinny I was. I felt like I’d never done anything wrong to deserve such criticism. It was not until last year that I realized that I had to stay different from them and live my life according to my principles. I decided to be my own person. I never thought that being nice could cause me to be disliked. Anyway, I began hanging out with girls who had a lot in common with me like preferring outdoor sports. They were accepting and non-judgmental. I am now content in knowing that I am my own person and don’t let others control my life.
24. What caused the author to envy some of her friends when she was young?
A. Her growing up like a boy.
B. Her family’s frequent moving.
C. Her busy school life.
D. Her strict parents.
25. Why did the author mention the field day in Paragraph 2?
A. To show her hard childhood.
B. To show her hobby in sports.
C. To show her satisfactory family life.
D. To show her parents’ influence on her.
26. What resulted in the author’s change in junior high school?
A. Her constantly being good to others.
B. Her obeying her principles strictly.
C. Some girls’ improper judgment on her.
D. Some girls’ refusing to make friends with her.
27. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Running for my life B. My happy childhood
C. My parents’ regulations D. Loving outdoor sports
C
At your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.
Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.
What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语)and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds---nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.
In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all. It’s already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you’re repairing that failure by using words.
In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial(殖民地的)America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it’s hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and there’s understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.
In contract, when there’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with.
28. Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?
A. The Dutch. B. Americans.
C. The English. D. The Japanese.
29. What might the Japanese agree with in conversation?
A. Speaking more gives the upper hand.
B. Speak out what you have in your mind.
C. Great minds think alike without words.
D. The shorter talking silence, the better.
30. What can we learn from the text?
A. A four second silence in conversation is universal.
B. It’s hard for Americans to reach a common agreement.
C. English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.
D. The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears.
31. What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Similarity. B. Conflict.
C. Diversity. D. Misunderstanding.
D
If you find yourself hitting the snooze button(闹钟延时按钮) every morning, don’t blame yourself .Your work schedule could be to blame.
A growing field of research now shows that, for many of us, our work schedules don’t wildly go with our natural body clocks — and experts are urging employers to take notice.
Sleep is a “strategic resource” that most companies are ignoring, according to a white paper by Christopher Barnes, a management professor at the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business in the US. When work schedules are matched with people’s natural sleep patterns, they produce higher quality and more innovative work because they are more focused, less stressed and generally healthier, he wrote. The opposite is also true – when employees are sleep deprived, they are more likely to make major mistakes and suffer from workplace injuries. His research has even shown that night owls behave more unethically (缺乏职业道德的) in the morning than at night and that early birds were more unethical at night.
But it’s not just about the amount of sleep you get. Whether you can be productive at 8 a.m. depends on circadian rhythm. Every organism from primitive bacteria to human beings has a biologically determined internal body clock, said Till Roenneberg, a professor of chronobiology (生物钟学). And that clock can vary greatly depending on the person. “It’s like feet,” said Roenneberg. “Some people are born with big feet and some with small feet, but most people are somewhere in the middle.”
Many companies start the work day at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m., putting their work schedules at odds with their employees’ body clock. That mismatch, along with the pressure to be productive and be available to respond to email or take calls at all hours of the day and night, means that many people suffer from what is called “social jet lag”.
“There is an old saying that sleep is for the weak,” said Olson. But now, “I do feel like there is a shift happening where people realise it doesn’t help to have shortened sleep. Sleep is a topic that companies want to hear about.”
32. What can we learn from Christopher Barnes’ white paper?
A. Sleep is a natural resource.
B. Most companies are ignoring employees’ sleep.
C. Lack of sleep is the reason for making mistakes.
D. Owls behave more unethically than birds.
33. What does Till Roenneberg’s remark mean?
A. The amount of sleep you get counts much.
B. An early bird does better than a night owl.
C. We are born to have a body clock.
D. Most people have neither too big nor too small feet.
34. If people suffer from “social jet lag”, they will_______.
A. not be as clever as other people
B. fail to finish their daily tasks
C. fail to adjust their body clock
D. act as if they were in the wrong time zone
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Body clock and good work habits.
B. Late for work? Maybe not your fault.
C. How to improve your work efficiently.
D. Urgent need to change your body clock..

Dear Peter,
①Words are really not enough to express my gratitude to you for your timely gift for my birthday-a copy of the Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary.
There are many reasons why I refer to it as a timely gift.②First, I’m preparing a speech for the 21st Century Cup National High School English Speaking Competition in six weeks.③Furthermore, although I already had an English-Chinese dictionary, it only has Chinese explanations. This new one features explanations in both Chinese and English.④In addition, it’s known that the Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary places emphasis on more modern English words than others do.
⑤When your birthday comes, I hope I can return the favor by giving you such a valuable and thoughtful present too.

M: Hello, darling. I've just heard I have to go to Italy for a couple of days. I am flying this evening.
W: Oh, David. Do you really have to go? You know the Johnsons are coming around to see us tonight.
M: Yes, I know. But I can't help it. They'll have to come some other time.
W: Then we won't be able to go to the theater tomorrow.
M: No, I am afraid we have to change all our plans.
W: All right, David. When exactly are you leaving then?
M: I am taking the 7 o'clock plane to Rome.
W: Are you coming home before you go to the airport?
M: I am afraid I can't. I am still having a talk with my boss here.
W: What about your suitcase?
M: I am afraid you'll have to pack it for me.
W: And who is fetching it for you?
M: You'll bring it, darling.
W: Why me?
M: Because you are coming with me. It's your birthday on Saturday and this trip is my birthday present for you. I'll meet you at the airport, three quarters before the flight. Don't forget anything and don't be late. See you later, darling.

Today I’m going to talk about the umbrella. We all know that we put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But the umbrella was not invented as a protection against rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun. Nobody knows who first invented it. But the umbrella was used in very ancient times. When it first appeared in Egypt, it was used only by the rich as a symbol of their power. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella. During the middle ages, however, the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the 16th century and later in France and in England. Gradually, most European countries began to use the umbrella. During all this time, umbrellas have not changed much in style, but they do become much lighter.
