Without classes and exams, the summer vacation is an ideal time for Australian kids. For me, Nancy, it means much more than not going to school. It is also a golden chance (机会) to spend time with my family because I have little time with them during the school year.

Last summer vacation I travelled with my family to the Hawkesbury River in Western Sydney. It was one of the most unforgettable summer vacations in my life.

Staying by the river helps us escape (逃脱) from the hot weather and noise of the city. Every day, my family and I got up early to go swimming in the cool water. In the morning, we all took part in a big game. We enjoyed water-skiing, wakeboarding (尾波滑水) and other activities. These activities made our family feel closer.

In the warm afternoon, we peacefully (平静地) read books on hammocks hung among trees by the river. The days always ended with a campfire. We sat around the fire, talking and laughing.

The river is a perfect place for people to forget about all the stresses of life and simply enjoy the moment. To me, it is the perfect place to spend time together with my family. I can’t help thinking about those days again and again even though so many months has passed.

( )11. Nancy ______ before the summer vacation starts.

B. has no chance to go back to Australia

C. sees her parents very often

D. is busy practising swimming

( )12. Hawkesbury is a river in the ______ of Sydney.

A. east

B. west

C. north

D. south

( )13. What does Nancy mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 3?

A. How she enjoyed swimming.

A. roads

B. houses

C. libraries

D. beds

( )15. We can infer (推断) from the passage that Nancy ______.

A. is still a young student who often spends time at home

B. misses the summer time with her family

C. will go to the river with her parents this summer

D. won’t stay in Australia any longer

I'm David. When I was 13, my parents decided that I should go to England to improve my English. I had never been to other countries before, so I felt a little worried. My parents prepared everything for my journey. My plane was due (预期) to leave at 9:30 a.m. and arrive in two hours. I phoned the English family who I would stay with and they told me they would wait for me at the airport.

Unluckily my plane to London was delayed (延误). I tried to phone the English family again but I couldn't speak to them because they had already left home for the airport.

When I arrived in London, it was already 1:30 p.m. I went to get my luggage (行李) but I couldn't find it. I became very worried. Luckily, the airport staff (工作人员) was very helpful and efficient. I didn't wait long — they found it 10 minutes later.

My English family were still waiting for me! I was so happy! Then my new life in London began. My English family were quite kind. I learned a lot of English because I spent most of the day talking in English. I played computer games with the little boy in my English family. I also taught him how to play chess. Sometimes I told him stories I learned from my family.

I missed my family during my stay in London, but I also felt sad when my stay there came to an end. My English family held a party for me. I enjoyed it very much. I'll never forget that summer in London! It is one of the most wonderful experiences I've ever had.
