Mind Maps
Mind maps are a great way of showing a picture of information that you need to
learn. You can use mind maps for all kinds of learning. They work very well for
vocabulary when you are learning a new language.
1 Draw a circle in the middle of the page and write the vocabulary subject in
the middle. For example:
transport
2 Brainstorm some word groups for ‘transport’ and think of headings for each
one. For example:
sea transport
land transport
air transport
For each one, draw a short line from the centre circle outwards. Add another
circle and write the new group word in the middle.
3 Look at each group and try to add more groups. For example, in ‘land
transport’ there are two sub-groups;
●road
●rail
Draw two more lines, add two more circles and write the two new headings inside
them.
4 When you can’t make any new groups, add a line for each word you know. Write
the words along the lines or, if you have space, write them inside more circles.
5 As you learn new vocabulary, add it to the mind map.
6 To make the mind maps even better, use colour to show important ideas or parts
of the map.
28. The instructions above mainly show us __________.
A. what mind maps are
B. how to draw
mind maps
D. how to make mind maps better
C. what mind maps can do
29. What can we learn about mind maps?
A. Mind maps are usually started with a line.
B. Mind maps should be simple, with no colour.
C. A mind map is only used for language learning.
D. A mind map is a picture with useful information.
30. Which of the following shows the right order of making a mind map?
a. Draw a circle in the middle of the page.
b. Add new circles and write the group words ‘sea’, ‘land’ and ‘air’ in
them.
c. Write ‘transport’ in the middle of the circle.

Sarah stood in front of the mirror(镜子). “It looks like a raincoat on me,”
she said.
“Perhaps the blue,” said Mama, gently.
“Sure,” the shopkeeper said. But when he took the blue coat, there on the shelf
behind all of the dark coats, hidden like a spring flower in winter darkness, there,
as if by magic, was a pink coat.
“A pink coat!” Sarah cried. “I want the pink coat.”
“That coat is smaller than the other ones,” Papa said.
Sarah spoke up. “I’m small, too. Papa, please let me try it on, Mama? Please?”
“It wouldn’t hurt to let her try it on,” Mama said.
Without a word, the shopkeeper took the coat from the shelf and held it for Sarah.
“Ohhh!” Sarah said. The coat was smooth and shiny inside like her sister
Sylvia’s blouses. “Ahhh!”
Sarah stood very straight and looked in the mirror. She looked for a very long
time. In the pink coat she looked like a spring flower.
“Sarah!” Mama said.
Sarah looked up. Mama was standing behind her. She was holding the brown coat.
“I’m afraid the pink coat will only fit one year,” Mama said, taking a step
closer.
“And there’s no one to pass it on to,” said Papa.
And the shopkeeper said, “It’s wise to save money.”
Sarah backed away. No one was going to put her into a raincoat again. She wanted
to be a flower.
“Sarah!” It was Papa. He came over to her. “You’re old enough to know that
you can’t always have your own way,” he said seriously.
“Wise and true,” said the shopkeeper.
Sarah took off the pink coat, slowly.
“It is her colour, though,” Mama said.
“Ahh,” said the shopkeeper. “Anyone can see how the pink of the coat brings
out the roses in her face.”
Papa looked thoughtful for a moment.
“We are lucky.” continued Mama, “that it is only one little coat for Sarah
and not also new coats for Sylvia and Susan and Sally.”
Papa looked from the brown coat to the pink coat. “The cows will give milk soon
enough,” he said “And how can we let Sarah wear a brown coat when she looks like
a flower in this one?”
“Papa!” Sarah cried, putting on the pink coat back, quickly. She threw her
arms around Papa’s neck. “
33
” she whispered.
“Like a rose in spring,” Papa said.
31. What did Sarah try on first?
A. A big pink coat. B. A small pink coat.
C. A big brown
coat.
32. Why did Mama want Sarah to try brown and blue?
D. A small brown coat.
A. Because Sarah looked better in them. B. Because Sarah could wear them
longer.
C. Because they were big enough for Sarah.
D. Because they
cost less than the pink one.
33. What did Sarah most probably say to Papa in the end?
A. How do I look?
C. I do look like a flower, don’t I?
D
B. How does the coat look?
D. The coat looks nice, doesn’t it?
From Asia to America and everywhere in between, Swing-an
energetic form of dance that includes six-step and eight-step
rhythms(节 奏) - has taken the world by storm. Making a recent
comeback, swing dance floors have popped up all over the world. Many
clubs make fans of Swing happy by holding nights when swing music
is played, and sometimes even offering classes to attract
customers.
Though Swing is now popular worldwide, it first appeared alongside the jazz
movements of the 1920s and 1930s in New York City. While listening to jazz, the young
black people of that time developed the movements of the Lindy Hop - a style of dance
that is best known for a break away or ‘swing out’ move and sudden improvisation(即
兴表演).
It was reportedly given this name when a reporter was interviewing a person at
the dance hall who was watching other couples dance. When asked what that dance was
called, the watcher looked at a newspaper next to him that had an article about
Lindbergh- the first person to fly alone across the Atlantic(大西洋)-which was
titled, ‘Lindy Hops the Atlantic’. Then the watcher announced that the ‘Lindy
Hop’ was the name of the dance, and it has stuck since then.
In 1926, the Savoy Ballroom was the first large business to offer a place for
people to listen to swing music and dance. With its huge dance floor, the Savoy became
a big success overnight, attracting some of the best dancers and musicians in the
New York area.
Within ten years, the Lindy Hops was sweeping through the United States and
became a symbol of unity, as young people of all racial(种族的)backgrounds crowded
into dance halls to swing the night away. Traditional dance teachers did not welcome
it because they thought it was not even a real dance and were quite sure about its
demise but Swing has proved them wrong; it continues to be one of the world’s most
fun dances.
34. The writing purpose of this passage is __________.
A. to introduce a popular form of dance
B. to discover the fun secrets of a dance
C. to tell stories about an energetic dance
D. to describe the special moves of a dance
35. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to ‘demise’?
A. Challenge.
B. Change.
36. What can we learn about Swing?
C. Development.
D. Death.
A. It’s a lively dance with strict rules.
B. It has a close connection to a pilot.
C. It has a history of around 90 years.
D. It attracts mostly young black people.
37. What can we infer(推断)from the passage?
A. The dance style will soon be accepted by traditional dance teachers.
B. The name was changed from ‘Lindy Hop’ to ‘Swing’ in the 1940s.
C. The movements of different Swing dancers always look the same.
D. The dance might have become unpopular sometime in its history.

In many children’s stories, a girl meets a prince and falls in love. They get
married and live ‘happily ever after’.
As a child, Meghan Markle may never have imagined marrying a prince. But that
is exactly what happened on May 19th!
Who is this young lady who just married into Britain’s royal family(王室)?
Meghan Markle was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1981. Her mother, Doria,
was a doctor, and her father, Tom, was a television lighting director. For 10 years
after school each day, young Meghan spent time at the studio where her father worked.
This experience allowed her to become very comfortable with the acting business.
For that reason, she knew she wanted to become an actress from a very early age.
As a child, she felt strongly about something else, too: People should be treated
equally. This passion(热情)to help others is still a big part of her life today.
Her acting career began in 2002 when she made her first appearance on TV. Other
small parts on TV and in a few films followed. Then finally in 2011, Markle got her
big break. She won a lead role in the popular TV series Suits.
