offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones2,3 and 4 of the transport system.Most
hosts do not live in the town center as much of central London is commercial and not
residential(居住的).Zones3 and 4often offer larger accommodation in a less crowed area.It
is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.
Meal Plans Available

It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked
breakfast.Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of
fruit juice, cereal(谷物类食品),bread and tea or coffee.Cheese, fruit and cold meat
are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England.Dinners usually consist of
meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.
Friends

permission.You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel
it is an invasion of their privacy.
Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities
and often a main living room.This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle
and is more suitable for the long-stay student.However, it does not provide the same
family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice
English at home quite as much.

In the fall of 1985.I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming
at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere.Twenty-one
years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65.She was the
first in our family to reach that goal.But one year after I started college, she developed
cancer.I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her.It meant that school
and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted
and biological children.In 1999, we adopted our first son.To lay eyes on him was
fantastic---and very emotional.A year later came our second adopted boy.Then followed
son No.3.In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8!
Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo.Not surprising, I never did make it back to
college full-time.But I never gave up on the dream either.I had only one choice: to
find a way.That meant talking as few as one class each semester.
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys.They
often wanted me to stay home with them.There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but
I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina.It took me over 21 years
to get my college degree!
I am not special, just single-minded.It always struck me that when you’re looking
at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it,
it just seems normal.Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day.It’s
a process.Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.

An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and
beyond.The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting
everyone to read the same book at the same time.
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit(追求)to be enjoyed by all, the program
allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting
reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.The idea came from Seattle
librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起)the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book "
project in 1998.Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion
groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other
American cities, and even to Hong Kong.
In Chicago, the mayor(市长)appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill
a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program.As a result, reading
clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city.Across the US, stories emerged
of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on
the bus about plot and character.
The only problem arose in New York ,where local readers could not decide on one book
to represent the huge and diverse population.This may show that the idea works best in
medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity ( 一 致 ) can be
achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their
energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book
itself.
Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many
people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed
speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.
46.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?
A.To invite authors to guide readers.
B.To encourage people to read and share.
C.To involve people in community service.D.To promote the friendship between cities.
47.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?
A.They had little interest in reading.
B.They were too busy to read a book.
C.They came from many different backgrounds
D.They lacked support from the local
government
48.According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?
A.In large communities with little sense of unity
B.In large cities where libraries are far from home
C.In medium-sized cities with a diverse population
D.In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached
49.The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
.
A.exchanged ideas with each other
B.discussed the meaning of a word
C.gained life experience
D.used the same language
50.According to Nacy, the degree of success of the project is judged by
.
A.the careful selection of a proper book
B.the growing popularity of the
writers
C.the number of people who benefit from reading.D.the number of books that each person
reads.
D
Blind imitation(模仿)is self-destruction.To those who do not recognize their unique
worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is
unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful.When
I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱)and turned out some tasty dishes.But
soon I grew bored.Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own?
Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you
get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying
on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously(下意识地)hold poor role
models.If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted
their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did.If you do not make
strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities.Those stars look
great on screen.But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous.If
you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or
unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something
unique.Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most
deeply.They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not
desperation.The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them,
but by those who do what has been done inside them.Creative people have an endless resource
of ideas.The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do
with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does
not serve.Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and
declare victory, and know that they are cheering me on.
51.Imitation proves useful when you
.
A.know you are unique
B.lose the balance of life
C.begin to learn something new
D.get tired of routine practice
52.To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________.
A.forget daily fear and pain
B.choose the right example
C.ask others for decisions
D.stay away from stars
53.According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are
.
A.desperate to influence others with their knowledge
B.ready to turn their original
ideas into reality
C.eager to discover what their ancestors did
D.willing to accept others’ ideas
54.The trouble a creator faces is
.
A.the lack of strong motivation
B.the absence of practical ideas
C.how to search for more materials
D.how to use imagination creatively
55.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A.To highlight the importance of creatively.B.To criticize the characters of role
models.
C.To compare imitation with creation.
D.To explain the meaning of success.
