二、阅读理解

JUSTIN: I work during my summer holidays when I’m not at university. Oxford has thousands of tourists in the summer, so it’s easy to find a job as a tour guide. I take tourists to visit the university colleges and then we go down to the river. We go along the river on a boat. The tourists love the boat trip, but last summer one tourist fell in the river! I love meeting people from all over the world.
PAUL: My job is very difficult, but I like it because I love flying. I fly planes that take people to different places on holiday.

The best thing is visiting different places.

三、首字母填空
There are often many problems when I go a 1 and stay there alone. Recently I am in a foreign country, the Czech Republic (捷克共和国), whose official language is not English. So the first big problem is language. Many Czech people can’t speak English. So I have to learn Czech. It’s very challenging because there are many rules for grammar. At the b 2 , I didn’t know them at all. But little by little, I remembered the rules and learned how to speak Czech. I think you need to like a language first, and then you can make p 3 quickly if you study hard.
If you live with a host family like me, there may be a 4 problem. You might argue with them, or you might not u 5 their rules at home. For example, my host family didn’t think it good for me to get up late on weekends. So I tried to get up as e 6 as possible. The best way to get along with the host family is to talk with them more. You can tell them what h 7 to you at school every day. Also, if you offer to help them with some h 8 like cleaning or cooking, they will be very happy.
The last problem is making friends. At school, I was often ignored (忽略) w 9 many of my classmates got together and chatted with each other. Sometimes, I felt really l 10 . But I tried to talk to everyone I met and went out with them on weekends. Now, I have many good friends.
4、 阅读回答问题
Scientists find that hard-working people can live longer than idle (不工作的) people. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holder. A report shows that whenever the unemployment rate (失业率) increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point: Work is helpful to our health.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel not only unhappy but also worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact with each other. If people take part in some activities, they can find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work sometimes means the loss of everything. It affects man in spirit and makes him easy to get ill.
Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment (充实感). Work makes one feel his value in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.
From the above we can know that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.
