   Jane Austen, a famous English writer, was born at Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, and died on July 18, 1817. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices(偏见) of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously (匿名).But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath's many famous local people and visitors. She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to 1806, Bath was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels. Now the pleasure of learning Jane Austen's Bath can be enhanced (增强)by visiting the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street. Here, in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, you can find out more about Bath in Jane Austen's time and the importance of Bath in her life and work.
   The Centre has been set up with the help and guidance of members of the Jane Austen Society. After your visit to the Centre, you can look round the attractive shop, which offers a huge collection of Jane Austen related(相关的) books, cards and many specially designed gifts. Jane Austen quizzes are offered to keep the children busy.
   You can also have walking tours of Jane Austen's Bath, which is a great way to find out more about Jane Austen and discover the wonderful Georgian city of Bath. The tour lasts about one and a half hours. The experienced guides will take you to the places where Jane lived, walked and shopped.

 阅读下面材料,根据材料内容从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出一个最佳选项。

What do you do when you feel unhappy? Do you listen to music? Do you talk to a friend? Maybe next time you feel sad, you should try going outside if it is sunny. Doctors know that how much sunlight we get can change (改变)how we feel. Scientists learn this by asking people who live in different parts of the world. In the far north, in Alaska or Finland, for example, the days are very short in winter. People living in these places say that they often feel unhappy in winter. In the south, where there are more daylight hours, fewer people say they are unhappy in winter. The reason is how much sunlight these people get each day. Sunlight changes the things inside our bodies, and they can change the way we feel. A couple of hours of strong sunlight or light from special lights can help our body make us feel happy. Another way to feel happier is to get some exercise. Just like sunlight, exercise helps our bodies make certain chemicals(化学物质), which make us feel happier. In addition, exercise helps people sleep better. Exercise also helps you get away from stress (压力). When you are angry or upset about something, exercise is a good way to get those bad feelings out of you.

Why Learning a New Language Is Good for the Whole Family?

Ever thought of making language learning part of your family's activities?Learning a new language together can have unexpected emotional benefits for the whole family.

Combining (兼顾) family time and language learning time is a great way to have more quality time with your family.Learning a new language as a family can be a fun group activity.Everyone loves a game night or movie night.You can play games like Bingo,using vocabulary from the target language.Or maybe you have a particular vacation destination (目的地)(常规) and reconnect with those you love.

Language is all about communication and connection.Learning a new language brings family members closer because they talk to each other all the time when learning.All you have to do is change to your new language and practice with your family members whenever you want — no classroom needed.Telling family stories with what you have recently learned is a good place to start,which could inspire questions and additional conversations,and even create a familect—secret words and phrases shared only among the members of your family.

If your family is big on gardening,make labels (标签) together for your plants and tools.Making fun labels in your target language together can also help you connect with loved family members.It opens up more opportunities like family contests.You could surprise each other with notes on pillows,inside dresser drawers — any place your family will find them.Using these words later recalls these family memories.

Each family is really its own little unique social world,and that world is being built through language.The power of language learning lies in its ability to draw people together.

 阅读下面的短文,然后根据括号内所给中文意思或首字母写出单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。

How to speak in a polite way? Usually in English polite questions are longer, including expressions such as" Could you please…?" or" Can I ask…?" It s{#blank#}1{#/blank#} more polite to say, "Peter, could you please l{#blank#}2{#/blank#} me your pen? I forgot to bring mine. " Sometimes, we might even need to s{#blank#}3{#/blank#} some time leading into a question or a request. For example, if you want to stop a s{#blank#}4{#/blank#} in the street, we might first say, "Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me" or"I'm sorry to trouble you but, " before asking he or she for help. 

Mandy, an {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(印度) girl , is one of my roommates in the university in America. At the beginning of the term, she hurt many students' hearts because she wasn't good at English at first. Then she made many friends with English {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(说某种语言的人) in the Language Club. And her English has improved a lot. 

Also many jobs require us to use polite expressions, such as {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(秘书). Because they always meet important persons with their {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(老板). It's one of the secrets to make a deal. 

It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than speaking {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(直接地), and in a way this may be true. H{#blank#}10{#/blank#}, in order not to offend(冒犯) people, learning about language etiquette(礼节) is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary. And doing this will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak. 

阅读下面短文,在空白处填上适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
