• 1．A road trip is not just about taking in the scenery through the car windscreen.Instead，the changes in location let you increase the scope of your holiday.Here are four recommended routes.
     CCR 200
     It is a new coastal road trip showing off the hidden side of the Lake District.The route takes in various nature reserves as well as other attractions like beaches and castles.The road trip is aimed at campers of all kinds and has been divided into five sections that can each be done in a day.
     The Explorer's Road
     The Road extends almost the entire length of eastern England，featuring some of the country's hidden treasures and finest attractions.Along the way you can explore stunning beaches，spectacular countryside and historic landmarks，with plenty of campsites lining the route.
     South West Coastal 300
     The South West Coastal 300 is around the southwest of Scotland.It's a fantastic way to discover one of the UK's hidden treasures.Inland，there are demanding hills that provide a steep one to walkers and climbers，not to mention hundreds of square miles of forest and rolling countryside where cycling enthusiasts can clock up the miles.
     Atlantic Highway
     The route roughly follows the line of the Atlantic coast.There are picturesque village views and you certainly won't be short of things to see or do.And there is no shortage of stopovers.The only downside is that the roads round here are extremely busy occasionally，so if you want a more stress-free trip，try heading down out of summer.

• 2．I am a writer who will go to great lengths to avoid facing the blank page.I'll roll up my sleeves to begin a draft and suddenly remember that the kitchen needs to be cleaned，or I'll become suddenly absorbed in messages that has nothing to do with my current project.Now is the prefect time for a deep dive into the disturbing microwave cookbooks，my brain informs me.
     By the time I'm on my third microwaved lobster recipe，I've got exhausted enough to face the words.I shut the book with anxiety and restart my staring contest with the blank page.After a few moments，the words come eventually.But every time I exit my draft，I learn something new about myself，my subjects，or the language.I feel calmer，less anxious，more at ease in my own mind.
     I've been writing for decades.I'm no stranger to the release writing brings.I started wondering ：Why did I still need to work up my courage before I could begin？
     I genuinely believed that this resistance would gradually fade away the more I wrote.I tried write-every-day challenges.I created outlines，took notes，and tried pre-writing.I think they all helped，but it never disappeared.I was a fool for expecting it to.
     Because eventually，I realized my resistance isn't something to get over before I could start my creative process.It is my creative process.The first step is to circle the page carefully，keeping an eye out for any entry-points.Writing is many things，but no one ever said it was easy.I should stop feeling shame for how long it takes me to approach my drafts and should start appreciating that I made it to the draft.Stop trying to conquer my fear and instead celebrate that I still write despite it.
  
  （1）What is the purpose of paragraph 1？

• 3．Many scientists once believed that physical similarities between identical twins are genetic（基因的），while their personalities，intelligence，and other differences between them are an effect of their environment.But scientists are now discovering that the boundaries between genetics and environment are not so clear after all.
     Identical twins Jim Smith and Jim Lewis were adopted as babies and raised by different couples.When the two Jims finally met at age 39，they discovered they had plenty in common.Both were 182 centimeters tall and weighed 82 kilograms.They had the same smile and the same voice.When psychologist Dr.Robert invited the Jim twins to his lab，his，colleagues found it very hard to distinguish one from the other.
     But the similarities didn't stop at the physical.They had both had dogs named Toy.They had both married women named Linda，and then divorced them.They had both been police officers，enjoyed making things with wood，suffered severe headaches，and admitted to leaving love notes around the house for their wives.They had so much in common that it seemed unlikely these were just coincidences.
     The Jim twins were just one of 137 sets of separated twins Dr.Robert tested.When they compared the twins' IQ scores，Robert and his team reached a surprising conclusion.They concluded that intelligence was mostly connected to genetics rather than to training or education.It seemed the differences in family and environment had little effect.
     However，genes can't control everything，argues geneticist Peter，who also studies twins.Peter's research shows that though nothing can truly change our DNA，environmental differences that a child experiences before birth and in their first year can sometimes affect the way the DNA behaves.This can make even identical twins into vastly different people. "What I like to say is that Mother Nature writes some things in pencil and some things in pen，" he explains. "Things written in pen you cannot change But things written in pencil you can. "
  
  （1）What did scientists use to believe？

  
  A．Genetics determined people's appearance and thought.
  B．Identical twins 'intelligence was shaped by the environment.
  C．Identical twins grew up together should be physically different.
  D．People raised in the same family developed different characters.
  （2）What do we know about the identical twins Jim Smith and Jim Lewis？

  
  A．They shared few similarities on their appearance.
  B．They were raised by their own parents from birth.
  C．They had the same physical features，hobbies and occupation.
  D．They corresponded with each other and made alike decisions.
  （3）According to Dr.Robert，what is intelligence mostly related to？

  
  A．Home-schooling.
  B．Life experience.
  C．Parenting.
  D．DNA.
  （4）What can we infer from the lass paragraph？

  
  A． "Things written in pen" refers to one's genes.
  B．The IQ of children is affected by their experiences.
  C．A baby's behavior is determined by the environment.
  D．Environmental factors are inessential to one's growth.

  My Father，My Hero I consider my father to be the most important person in my life.This is not because he is famous or jye.aialthy.We do no have a big car，and there are no old，expensive vases or paintings in our house.Rather，what I value about my father is the care and love he shows for me and my family.What blesses my father most is being able to put food on the table and a roof over our heads.
      My father might work hard，but he is always there for us.Whenever I trip or hurt myself playing sports，he's there to pick me up.My brother and I grew up with his constant care and the funny nursery rhymes and stories he told us.

      I can well remember that when my mother and father got married，they did not have much money.The situation got worse when they had children.When we were very young，my father had an extra job as a hotel porter，and he also mopped the floor of a hotel every night so that he could give us a special treat or a vacjye.aiion.At the start of last year，my father began putting at least fifty cents every day into a jar on a shelf in his bedroom.We all wondered what he was saving the money for，but he refused to tell us.
