• 1．There are many amazing places to visit in England.
     The first place that you shouldn't miss in England is London.The British Museum，which you can visit free of charge，has millions of exhibits featuring ancient Egyptian，Greek and Roman artifacts.Another popular free place is the British Library and its collection of original manuscripts（原稿）.The Changing of the Guard takes place at all the Royal Palaces with the most famous one of course being Buckingham Palace.But if the crowd there is too huge，you can check out a smaller ceremony at St.James's Palace.With all the money you've saved，why not take a ride on the London Eye for the finest views in all of London？
     The Lake District is the mountainous，northwest realm of England.In this area，you'll find some of England's highest mountains and its deepest and longest lakes.Here you can reconnect with nature while spending nights camping under the stars.If you prefer a more leisurely pace，you can explore the area's nature reserves and historic homes by yourself.For the cultural tourists，there are summer theater performances and creative arts festivals.
     Oxford is best known for its university，one of the leading universities in the world.Oxford is also a vast architectural museum which dates back to the arrival of the Saxons.Begin your treasure hunt with a tour of the university.Many of this university's 11th-century buildings are open to visitors.

• 2．There have been times in my life when I felt satisfied.Sometimes it was because I achieved a goal I had set.Sometimes it was because I overcame a fear or passed a test.However，every time I feel that way，I learn again that full isn't full.
  When I was a little boy，I felt that the love I had for my mom and dad，and the love they had for me，just filled me up.Surely in a house full of nine people lived a young boy who loved and was loved as fully as a person could stand.Imagine my surprise as I then extended（擴大影響）that love to my grandparents，my uncle &aunt，cousins，etc.As I grew older，I met and married a beautiful woman that I thought entirely filled me up with love.I could not imagine there would be any more room.Then a few short years later we added one daughter and then another daughter to our family.Again，I had room to love and be loved.See what I mean？Every time I feel that life and love are as good as they can get，they get better.
     There is a lesson here for us.We ought to always have a heart that is open to expanding.To do more，love more，live more，learn more，overcome more，forgive more and the list could go on.Each of us knows 100 stories about men and women who have proved the impossible to be possible.Every day we stand at the crossroad and must decide if we are going to be a better person today than we were yesterday.You are not full yet.Young or old，there is still room for more.
  
  （1）What does the underlined sentence mean？

  
  A．I can do it in a better way.

• 3．Some of the recent scientific studies have found that people who receive higher education live longer than those who do not.According to a new study，reading books extends lifespan（壽命）by up to two years，and the more often you read，the better.
     Back in 1975，economists concluded that longer lifespan is linked to the wealth of a person，and that wealth itself increases longevity.But soon it was realized that the data didn't always fit that theory.Economic success didn't always mean longer lives.
     In the 1980s，researchers found gaining higher education is connected with a greater increase in lifespan than gains in wealth.One fact is of teachers and college professors：they live longer than the rest of the population.The reason is that they engage in research most of their lives for teaching or publishing，which increases their lifespan and most importantly also retards their aging process.
     Let's look at what benefits educated people.Educated people get involved in social networks；they get access to information because of their ability to understand information.They can easily navigate（導航）the health care system；they have more social support.
     Reading helps us understand how other people think and feel.Reading improves our emotional intelligence.This understanding can improve the quality of a person's life as it would allow the person to act with better judgment.Research has shown that reading changes certain areas of the brain and causes certain other parts to be active.This effect can also be observed in adults who learn to read much later in life.Learning has no age bar.Each and every human is born with the right to be educated.So，don't hold back your urge to learn.The goal of education is to improve intelligence as well as the lifespan.
  
  （1）What did researchers find in the 1980s？

  
  A．Education does affect peoples' lifespan.
  B．Health has nothing to do with wealth.
  C．Economic success always belongs to professors.
  D．Children from poor families can rarely gain higher education.
  （2）What does the underlined word"retards"in Paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．speeds up.
  B．slows down.
  C．turns back.
  D．contributes to.
  （3）What is the advantage of educated people according to Paragraph 4？

  
  A．They learn more about human body and medical care.
  B．They can set up their own health care system.
  C．They are more connected to the society.
  D．They are skilled in doing research through social networks.
