A camping holiday is often the cheapest and easiest kind of holiday for a family with children and many Britons choose this.

For example, what are you going to do when you get up in the morning? You’ve worked for 30 or 40 years, and now it’s finally your turn to decide how to spend your days. What are you going to do with all that time? Here are five ways for retirees to find happiness in retirement:1.Travel. According to a study, travel is one of the major goals of people looking forward to retirement. And some 70 percent of retirees say that traveling has helped them enjoy life, improving their mood and lowering their stress levels. However, traveling can be expensive. A third of retirees say they actually took fewer trips after retirement than they did during the five years before retirement. Sometimes health issues get in the way, and many retirees admit they haven’t saved up enough money to do a lot of vacationing. But remember, travel does not have to include a Mediterranean cruise. It can also involve a weekend at the beach or a trip to visit the grandkids.2. Use your skills. Many retirees want to be positive, keep busy and work with others for some goal larger than themselves. Sometimes this involves a part-time job, but more often it seems to lead to volunteer work. Retirees use their old skills in new ways. For example, a finance executive now raises money for his church, or a magazine editor teaches in the English department of his community college.3. Try something new. One key to a happy retirement is not just filling your time, but doing things that are meaningful to you. Many people spent a lifetime at a job that provided an income to support themselves and their families, but did not provide a sense of fulfillment and real satisfaction. Retirement is an opportunity to create a life that more closely reflects who you really are, whether it’s starting a home-based business, learning how to paint, playing in a rock band or writing the history of your family.4. Find new friends. It’s easy to get lonely in retirement, especially if you’re retired and your partner and friends are still working, or if you’ve moved away from your longtime hometown. Some people, especially men, have invested more of their lives in the workplace, so they are used to meeting old friends from work and getting together for lunch or golf. But as time goes on and your work life became the past, it’s a good idea to make new friends, perhaps by traveling, volunteering or taking an exercise class at the fitness club. Make yourself feel more comfortable doing something together with them.5. It’s OK to do nothing. Many people feel that they’ve been doing that for 40 years, and now they just want to quiet down and enjoy life. For some people retirement is their chance, at last, to sit around the kitchen table and read the newspaper, and then lie around in their backyard and watch the clouds drift by. And there’s nothing wrong with that.5 Ways to Just Enjoy Retirement1. The purpose of this speech■To help retirees find 【T1】______ in retirement 【T1】______2.

Young as he was, he knew what was the right thing to do.PART Ⅱ READING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONSIn this section there are four passages followed by ten multiple choice questions. For each multiple choice question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.(PASSAGE ONE)To live in the United States today is to gain an appreciation for Dahrendorf"s assertion that social change exists everywhere. Technology, the application of knowledge for practical ends, is a major source of social change.Yet we would do well to remind ourselves that technology is human creation; it does not exist naturally. A spear or a robot is as much a cultural as a physical object. Until humans use a spear to hunt game or a robot to produce machine parts, neither is much more than a solid mass of matter. For a bird looking for an object on which to rest, a spear or robot serves the purpose equally well. The explosion of the Challenger space shuttle and the Russian nuclear accident at Chernobyl drive homethe human quality of technology; they provide cases in which well-planned systems suddenly went haywire and there was no ready hand to set them right. Since technology is a human creation, we are responsible for what is done with it. Pessimists worry that we will use our technology eventually to blow our world and ourselves to pieces. But they have been saying this for decades, and so far we have managed to survive and even flourish. Whether we will continue to do so in the years ahead remains uncertain. Clearly, the impact of technology on our lives deserves a closer examination.Few technological developments have had a greater impact on our lives than **puter revolution. Scientists and engineers have designed specialized machines that can do the tasks that once only people could do. There are those who assert that the switch to an information-based economy is in the same camp as other great historical milestones, particularly the Industrial Revolution. Yet when we ask why the Industrial Revolution was a revolution, we find that it was not the machines. The primary reason why it was revolutionary is that it led to great social change. It gave rise to mass production and, through mass production, to a society in which wealth was not confined tothe few.In somewhat similar fashion, computers promise to revolutionize the structure of American life particularly as they free the human mind and open new possibilities in knowledge **munication. The Industrial Revolution supplemented and replaced the muscles of humans and animals by mechanical methods. **puter extends this development to supplement and replace some aspects of the mind of human beings by electronic methods. It is the capacity of **puter for solving problems and making decisions that represents its greatest potential and that poses the greatest difficulties in predicting the impact on society.(PASSAGE TWO)One of **ponents of The Southside Poverty Alleviation Project which was implemented in 2012 was the improvement on the East and West Collet Canal Streets. Everyone can remember the un-pleasant state of these streets and the canal which ran in the center. At **pletion of the project there was no denying the practical and aesthetical improvement in these areas. It was like day and night; the difference was obvious.The section most transformed was the area that spans the length of the West Collet Canal from Cemetery Road to Dean Street. This section was used by taxi drivers in front of the Novelo"s bus terminal and by produce vendors in front of the Michael Finnegan Market. The project allowed for taxi and private motor vehicle parking and in an innovative move the construction of business booths over the canal which has been lined with concrete.This truly is an inspiring venture as it promotes and encourages entrepreneurship. This is something that we don"t have enough of. While this is surely encouraged, it has been observed that one such business has placed barricades(路障) on the street in front of its entrance. This defeats the entire purpose of the rehabilitation of the Canal Streets which was to provide much needed parking space. Placing these barriers on the street itself deprives motorists of parking and in effect creates traffic problems in the area.If history is our guide it is then accurate to assume that the next step which will be taken by this business is a waterproof canvas expansion... you guessed it, onto the street. This would mean that we wouldbe back to square one. We will have the same problem we had in the beginning where vendors spread their produce on the street along the canal. It is therefore imperative that the relevant authorities take note and apply whatever corrective measure is needed to curb this immediately. Belize is transforming for the better. Let"s keep it that way.(PASSAGE THREE)Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helps to preserve it, and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind. In this way the North American Indians produce pemmican (dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes ), the Scandinavians make stockfish and the Arabs dried dates and "apricot leather. "All foods include water—cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish, anything from 80% to 60%, depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to go bad is checked.Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also in California, South Africa and Australia. The methods used vary, but in general, the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun. In order to prevent darkening, pears, peaches and apricots are exposed to the fumes of burning sulfur before drying. Plums, for making prunes, andcertain varieties of grapes for making raisins and currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack the skins of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating, so as to increase the rate of drying.Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically. The conventional method of such dehydration is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110℃ at entry to about 43 ~C at exit. This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish.Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes. In the first case, the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively coarse flakes. In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed.Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to the climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with house-wives because it takes so little time to cook them. Usually it is just a case of replacing the dried-out moisture with boiling water.(PASSAGE FOUR)The business suit has for a long time been the uniform for male office workers. But it is not very satisfactory. For a start, it means that all men look the same, give or take their ties.But that is not the only problem: at the height of summer the business suit is hot and stuffy, restricting movement, and—since the suit must always be worn with a tie—it demands tightness at the neck that causes unnecessary discomfort and irritation.Women in offices are free to wear what they please, within certain limits. Some women wear business suits, too; but these are usually less formal and, most importantly, they are designed to show off the feminine shape to advantage. The same cannot be said for the male suit. Most men look unattractive in them. They are shapeless, lumpy and dull in color and do nothing for the male physique. A male of-rice worker"s only way of expressing himself in this boring business uniform is through his selection of ties. The tie becomes his outward sign of inner personality. Unfortunately, few men have any sense of style and fewer still stop to ponder what their personality is really like. For this reason, many male of-rice workers go to work in appallingly loud, garish ties, in the mistaken belief that they look good.Add to all this is the problem of cleaning a man"s suit. Do men actually clean them at all? A private ( and not very scientific) study of male office workers indicates that they do not. Unlike their female counterparts, who are always taking clothes to the dry-cleaners even when they have only been worn once in the past three weeks, men send their suits to the cleaners perhaps once a season. And yet most men wear the same suit several days a week, with just a change of shirt and tie for variety.Why do men not rebel and find some other way of dressing at the office? Well, they have thought this problem through very carefully. They realize how many hours they can save from their morning routine by wearing the same clothes day in, day out. Whereas the average female office worker takes time to plan what she will wear in the morning before ironing her outfit and finding coordinating fashion accessories, all a man has to do is leap out of bed, fumble around in thecloset for his underwear and the first available shirt that hasn"t had tomato sauce dripped down its front, select a tie at random (only the most fastidious attempt a color match between suit, shirt and tie) and step into the trousers that have been draped across the back of an armchair in the bedroom the previous night. Simple. Now, where did he leave his shoes and socks?1. A spear or robot has the quality of technology only when it ______.(PASSAGE ONE)A. can be of use to both man and animalB. is made use of by manC. serves different purposes equally wellD. is used both as a cultural and a physical object2.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT about the area that spans the length of the West Collet Canal from Cemetery Road to Dean Street?(PASSAGE TWO)A. It used to be the messiest and poorest area along the canal.B. It had the largest people flow of all the canal-side streets.C. It was changed to a very large extent, compared to its past.D.
