We plan to stay here in Ho Chi Minh City for a few days and visit temples in the city, and then travel to the north.March 27th Vietnam is fantastic!

Well stay in Hanoi for two days, and then catch a bus to Sapa. Were going to go hiking in the mountains.April 4th Now were in the old capital city of Hue. Our trip to Sapa was long and tiring. From there, we took a truck to a small village in the mountains, and we went hiking for three days. This afternoon, were taking a walking tour in Hue. Were going to visit the Forbidden Purple City, where the emperor lived.April 6th Hue is really a special city with lots to see. I would love to stay longer, but were both ready for the beach. Tomorrow well take the train back to the south, and then were going to a town called Vung Tau. It has several beaches, and its famous for seashell crafts(手艺).

Her mom, who had told me before she did not allow sleepovers, explained that she did not think the kids were ready for a sleepover until the age of 10. I then started to wonder whether there actually was a “right” age for a sleepover. I remember the first real sleepover I ever had. It happened when I was about 13 and a friend of mine invited me to sleep at her house. Luckily for me, her parents were not strangers. I think I cried for 2 months straight before being allowed my first sleepover. My parents were not pletely heartless, though. I was actually sick at the time and had to take medication and they were very concerned about that, but I still did not like them saying “no”. I remember my excitement the day before I finally got my sleepover. I could not sleep that night from the excitement. When I got there , my friends house looked so beautiful and her parents were so nice and weling. Unfortunately though, the number of sleepovers I had throughout my childhood can be counted on two hands. And after every one of them, I realized exactly how much I was missing. It was only as an adult, when I was studying education, that I actually learned about the importance of sleepovers in kids development no matter how old they are. A sleepover is one of those things every child needs experience on their own. It can do them a lot of good.25. The friend of the authors daughter _. A. is too sick to sleep over B. is less than ten years old C. never listens to her mother D. has grown tired of sleepover26. How was the authors first sleepover? A. It was really boring. B. She cant remember it. C. It was a painful experience D. She thinks it was enjoyable.27. The author writes the text mainly to _. A. explain what kids development is B. discuss how strict parents should be C. encourage children to have sleepovers D. ask parents to keep an eye on their childrenCThe owner of an Indian food shop in Bristol was astounded to receive an apology letter and money in pensation(补偿) from a thief who stole from his shop seven years ago.The shop owner, Imran Ahmed, 27, said he never expected that the thief would get in touch after so long. He said he remembered returning to the shop to find his windows broken and goods stolen. He didnt know whether the police had ever caught anyone in connection with the crime(犯罪活动) because they hadnt remembered to contact him. He supposed that the case had been closed long ago, so he just tried to forget it and went on doing business as usual.Seemingly, the criminal had not been planning to rob the shop that night in xx-the letter says, About seven years ago I was walking past your shop late one night when I noticed that someone had broken into it . With the shop front wide open, there was nothing to prevent the thief from stepping inside and taking anything he wanted. There were some cigarettes lying there and the thief grabbed them and ran.Now, it seems the mystery thief regrets stealing from the shop and has stopped carrying out such crimes. At the time of the robbery, my life was in a mess, the ashamed thief explained in the letter, but now Im trying to lead an honest life.The shop owner, Mr Ahmed, was moved by the letter. In fact, he was so touched and pleased by the thiefs change of heart that he is planning to give the money to charity. His said, I would love to find out who he was but I dont think he will contact us. Its amazing this has happened and to have something like this happen is really good. He has put it away and it is well kept in a box.Avon and Somerset Police spokesman Steve Game said, The police are very pleased to hear that a victim(受害人) has received some pensation for a crime. The letter shows that criminals can change their lives for the better.28. What does the underlined word “astounded” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Proud. B. Regretful. C. Surprised. D. Relaxed.29. What did the thief do that night? A. He broke into the shop B. He robbed the shop as planned. C. He stole something from the shop. D. He carried out a crime with his partners.30. Why did the thief make an apology for his behavior? A. He wanted to put his past mistake right. B. He experienced a similar robbery. C. His stealing brought shame on his family. D. His joining charity changed him.31. How did Mr Ahmed react after reading the litter? A. He handed it over to the police. B. He would meet the thief in person. C. He felt happy for the thiefs being good. D. He wondered how the thief was over the years.DFeeling lonely has a bigger influence on older peoples life expectancy(预期寿命) than smoking, top government adviser David Halpern said earlier this year.This shocking fact, given that loneliness is reaching high levels in the UK with 3.1 million over 65s going more than a week without seeing a friend or family member has caused quite a debate. Later retirement age is one idea for how the government might respond, but I think we can make a change without waiting for a new law.My solution? Yup, you guessed it: the web. OK, Im not mad enough to suggest that a piece of electronic equipment is a magic bullet(灵丹妙药) to loneliness, but I do ,hand on heart ,think that encouraging more older people to get online is the simplest and cheapest tool we can equip them with so they can reawaken old, or form new, friendships.One of my favorite jobs as Digital Champion is judging Age UKs Internet Champion of the Year Award. Looking through this years shortlist, it was obvious that each participant had been suddenly filled with a desire to socialize because of the way the net had widened their social circle. Reading the shortlist, what also struck me was how far from rocket science getting older people online is.One of this years winners, Brenda, has a great story thats both totally special and also very typical .Brenda felt extremely lonely after her husbands death. Several months later, she got online. Having quickly got used to using the puter, Brenda amazingly managed to make contact with a soldier who had stayed with her family during the Second World War. Starting up their friendship again after more than half a century is the kind of miracle(奇迹) the Internet has made us almost take for granted but which would have been almost unthinkable just ten years ago.32. Why did the author suggest the web as a solution? A. It is an all-purpose tool. B. It is strongly advised by the government. C. It is the only way older people make new friends. D. It can solve the problem of loneliness in an easy way.33. What did the author learn from the shortlist? A. Participants had a similar social circle. B. Participants found it difficult to get online. C. Participants benefited greatly from the web. D. Participants knew each other because of the net.34. As a lonely old woman, Brenda _. A. searched hard for her old friend B. became a new friend of a soldier C. lived alone for more than half a century D. got in touch with an old friend on the net 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Friends Online B. Debate on Loneliness C. Encourage Older People D. Help an Internet Beginner第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能真入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to learn a foreign language1.
