Jumanji is a story for children about a very strange game - a game that becomes far too real and frightening for the players. It was a story by Chris Van Allsburg, which was later filmed in 1996, starring the famous American actor Robin Williams.
The story begins in 1869 in New Hampshire, America. Two young brothers bury a box under some trees. A hundred years later, in 1969, a boy, Alan Panish, finds the box and takes it home. He’s unhappy that his father may want to send him to a boarding school (寄宿學校). Alan's friend Sarah arrives, and they open the box. Inside is a board game. At the start of the game, some words appear: “Do you want to leave the world behind and go back to the past? Then this is the game for you.” Suddenly Alan finds that he is disappearing into the game.
The story has a deep meaning. Through his adventures Alan learns something important - if you confront(面對) your fears, your problems will go away. Alan turns to face Van Pelt, the hunter who is trying to kill him. In doing so, he completes the game and returns to reality. Then he finds that his father is not going to send him to boarding school after all.
In Jumanji, time is “elastic”. The film director Stephen Spielberg’s “Back to the Future” films play with time in the same way. Top scientists even tell us now that time travel is theoretically(理論上) possible!
56.Who acted in the film?
[A] Robin Williams.
[B] Stephen Spielberg.
[C] Chris Van Allsburg.
[D] Van Pelt.
57.From the story we learn that Alan is a boy who ____.
[A] is afraid of his father
[B] dislikes his study at school
[C] was bom a hundred years ago
[D] goes back to the past in the game
58.Through the game Alan has realized that whenever he has difficulties he should ____.
[A] face them directly
[B] ask for his father’s advice
[C] read the words on the box
[D] escape into the past
59.What does the author mean by saying “time is ‘elastic’” in the last paragraph?
[A] Science can change the meaning of time.
[B] Time is a common topic in filmmaking.
[C] One can travel in space.
[D] One can travel in time.

Parents might say “honesty is the best policy,” but when it comes to talking with their own children, mom and dad lie surprisingly often, finds a new study carried out by researchers in the University of Toronto, Canada.
Almost every parent in the study admits having come up with some tales to influence a child’s actions and feelings. For example, a parent is annoyed by a child’s crying and says, “The police will come to get you if you don’t stop crying now.” In another example, an uncle has just died and the child is told that he has become a star to watch over the child.
Whether parents lie to benefit themselves or to protect the child, researchers suggest such tall tales could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world.
Lies could also harm the parent-child relationship. It could even keep children from learning certain rules. “If I am always lying to the child in order to get the child to do X, Y, or Z, then they have never learned why they should do X, Y, or Z.” Heyman, one of the researchers, said.
Heyman also said, “It is common for parents to try out various ways, including lying, to guide a child, but most parents never think about how it will influence their child. I think parents should figure it out in advance what their general beliefs are, so when it comes to the situation you’re working with your beliefs rather than what comes into your head at the moment.”
60.What did the researchers find out in their recent study?
[A] Most parents are strict with their children.
[B] Many parents like to tell police stories.
[C] Few parents believe in honesty.
[D] Parents often lie to children.
61.What do the underlined words “tall tale” in paragraph 3 mean?
[A] a story mixed with lies.
[B] a story based on truth and facts.
[C] a story too long to be interesting.
[D] a story beyond children’s understanding.
62.According to the research, how may children be affected by their parents’ lies?
[A] They may fall behind in school.
[B] They may lie to their parents too.
[C] They may get confused about the society.
[D] They may feel they are being overprotected.
63.What’s Heyman’s suggestion for parents?
[A] Teach their children about rules.
[B] Guide their children on sound beliefs.
[C] Influence their children in various ways.
[D] Figure out children’s problems in advance.

When Tom Szaky sees a juice container thrown away, he doesn’t see rubbish; he sees a pencil case. Sweet wrappers (包裝紙)? A beautiful kite. But these are not the imaginings of a dreamer. For the 28-year-old CEO of Trenton, New Jersey-based TerraCycle, they’re a business model.
The fast-talking Szaky is leading the new industry of upcycling. Instead of recycling (shredding or breaking down materials and enabling them to be reproduced as other products), TerraCycle takes packaging headed for landfills (垃圾填埋) and reuses it - more or less whole. TerraCycle’s 85 employees make nearly 200 products, sold at shops such as Petco, Kmart, Whole Foods Market, and Target.
Szaky’s $7.4 million company, now also moving ahead in Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom and Brazil is a far cry from the business he founded with classmate Jon Beyer in 2002 as a freshman at Princeton University. The two entered a business competition with a plan to sell an organic plant fertilizer () made from worm waste. They lost the competition but started the business anyway.
With their goal - to make products entirely out of rubbish - suddenly clear, Szaky knew the time was right to drop out of Princeton.
TerraCycle’s first product used dining-hall waste to feed the worms and thrown-away bottles to package the fertilizer. The result: a cheap, green breakthrough. Word spread, and in 2004, Home Depot began carrying the fertilizer in its Canadian stores.
To Szaky, waste does not exist in nature. TerraCycle is a “second chance” employer of, say, a piece of furniture, an ice-cream container. As Szaky points out: “The biggest problem with most green, fair-trade, and organic products is that they tend to cost more. At TerraCycle, everything is made from rubbish, and rubbish is free. People should be able to protect the planet without having to pay a cost for that right.”
64.Who is Tom Szaky?
[A] A student at Princeton University.
[B] The manager of a food company.
[C] An employee of Home Depot.
[D] CEO of TerraCycle.
65.What do we know about the new industry of upcycling?
[A] It puts waste materials directly into new use.
[B] It promotes completely natural foods.
[C] It buries waste materials in landfills.
[D] It makes organic plant fertilizer.
66.How did Szaky get the idea of upcy cling?
[A] From his visits to foreign companies.
[B] From his studies at Princeton University.
[C] Through shopping at big stores in America.
[D] Through the experience of a business competition.
67.What is the advantage of upcy cling according to Szaky?
[A] The cost is kept low.
[B] The product is free.
[C] The product has a longer life.
[D] More materials are available

A pure virus (病毒) could be kept in a bottle, just like hundreds of other chemicals. Yet, when a virus is placed on a living thing, it comes to life. As long as it is on a living material, it grows.
A difficult question still remains - what is a virus? Is it living or chemical? Men of science had always thought life and not-life to be as different as black and white. With the discovery of the virus, they became aware of a grey area that was neither black nor white.
Until the 1930’s, it was accepted that there was also a great difference in size between the largest chemical molecules (分子) and the smallest living things. As new and much finer filters (過濾器) were invented, men were able to measure viruses. The first virus to be measured was found to be about 100 millimicrons (毫微米) across.
The largest known chemical molecule measures only 22 millimicrons. The smallest living thing measures almost seven times that size or 150 millimicrons. When viruses were measured, they were found to range in size from 16 millimicrons to 300 millimicrons. Most were found to be larger than the largest chemical molecules and smaller than the smallest living things.
The answer to the puzzle - what is a virus? - must be that it is both living and not living. In a living cell, it is a live thing. In a bottle, it is nothing more than a chemical. We now realize that the virus is actually a link between life and not-life.
68.What is this text mainly about?
[A] How viruses should be understood.
[B] The effect viruses have on living things.
[C] How filters are used in studying viruses.
[D] The researches scientists do with viruses.
60.What makes a virus come to life?
[A] A large chemical molecule.
[B] A dead chemical.
[C] An active virus.
[D] A living cell.
70.What do the underlined words “a grey area” in paragraph 2 refer to?
[A] The discovery of unknown chemicals.
[B] Viruses in a state of living and not living.
[C] A difficult question unsolved about viruses.
[D] The colour of viruses between black and white.
71.Which of the following is the smallest in size?
[A] Viruses.
[B] New filters.
[C] Living cells.
[D] Chemical molecules.

W: Do you think you have ever done anything wasteful?
你認為你做過什么浪費的事兒么?
M: We're always doing something wrong, but then, that will allow us to learn and grow. When I first started out, we made all the products ourselves, but that was a mistake. Now we work with other companies. We provide the materials, the product development and the design. They make the products then.
我們總是在做一些錯事，但是從那我們會學到許多并得以成長。在我最開始的時候，所有的產品都是由我們自己來做，但那是個失誤�，F在我們和別的公司合作，我們提供原材料，產品研發和設計，然后他們制作產品。

Now one more thing to add about students, safety before we start today’s college tour. The university offers two programs called Safe Walk and College Alone programs. The Safe Walk program is to make sure that students get where they need to go late at night with officer on duty to safe guard them, whether back from the bar or from a late night study-group. The College Alone program gives students who are working alone at night peace of mind. Once a student calls the office, her position is recorded as is her time to leave the place and where she is about to go. Students are provided with a number they can call Campus Safety Office 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And 12 college pay phones are also connected to the office, no money needed. Here we're trying our best, so that your children are safe when attending the university.
在今天我們開始大學之旅之前，我還有一件事兒要對學生們說。學校給我們提供了兩項計劃，Safe Walk 和College Alone。Safe Walk 計劃是為了確保學生們可以晚上去他們想要去的地方，無論是從酒吧還是晚間學習小組回來，都有執勤工作人員保衛他們。College Alone計劃是為那些晚上獨自學習的學生提供安寧的環境。一旦有學生給辦公室打電話，她的位置所在、離開的時間以及所要去的地方都會被記錄下來。學生會得到一個電話號，可以隨時給學校治安辦公室打電話。而且學校內12個投幣式公用電話無需投幣也都會接到辦公室。在此我們將盡全力來保證您的孩子在學校的安全。
答案：
21-25 BACCA 26-30 BACBD 31-35 CDABC
21. 選B【must】，該題考查情態動詞。
句意是：Sandy花了那么多錢買輛舊車肯定是瘋了。
should表示一定，必須(用在客觀情況下);must表示一定，必須(用在主觀情況下);can一般表示某人能夠做某事;will表示將來會做某事。根據句意，選B。
22. 選A【the; a】，該題考查冠詞。
句意是：我會在隔壁房間，你如果需要任何幫助的話可以給我打電話。
第一個空格中填入the，因為空白處后面的名詞短語next room(隔壁房間)是說話雙方都知道的，表示特指。后一個空格與其兩邊的詞為固定搭配，give sb. a call “給某人打電話”，故選A。
23. 選C【keeping】，該題考查非謂語動詞。
句意是：Ella總是抱怨馬路上噪音很大，晚上睡不著覺。
該句主語是Ella，謂語是has been complaining about，賓語是the traffic，由此判斷空白處所需填的詞是非謂語形式，所以排除A【keep】，又因為空白處和前面的名詞the traffic之間的關系為主動關系——交通產生的噪音使他晚上睡不著，故選keeping。to keep和kept雖然都屬于非謂語動詞，但是前者為動詞不定式，表示將來要發生的事，后者為過去分詞，表示被動關系或已完成的動作，此外，現在分詞-ing除了表示主動，還可以表示正在進行的事。
24. 選C【another】，該題考查不定代詞。
句意為：Frank是個很好的老師，每個人都覺得很難再找到像他那樣的了。
other可作形容詞或代詞，作形容詞時，意思是“別的，其他”。the other指“兩個人或物中的一個”，一般出現在one ... the other ...這樣的固定搭配中。others是other的復數形式，泛指“另外幾個，其余的”。another指“總數為三個以上中任意的另一個”，表示泛指。根據題意，這里代指的是另一個人，是泛指，故選C。

29. 選B【when】，該題考查連詞。
句意為：門鈴響時，媽媽正在和Lisa打電話。
while表示“當…時”，一般連接的兩個動作同時發生，且多同時用進行時態;when表示“當…時”，它和while的區別在于一般不強調使用進行時態;since表示“自從”，或者“因為”，一般用于完成時態;as可以表示“因為”或者“盡管”。故根據句意選B。
30. 選D【the second half of】，該題考查固定的表達。
句意為：許多偉大的發明都出現在19世紀后半葉。
second修飾half，應該放在half前，“…的一半”的用法是“the half of ...”，綜合起來，順序應為the second half of。
31. 選C【against】，該題考查介詞。
句意為：盡管有違父愿，Joan還是把房子賣了。

答案：
36-40 DBCDB 41-45 CABCB
46-50 CBDCD 51-55 ACBAB

“尤曼吉”(又稱“勇敢者的游戲”)是一個供兒童閱讀的故事，它描述的是一個神奇的游戲——真實性很強，甚至對玩家來說有點嚇人的游.戲。故事是由克里斯•范•奧爾斯伯格撰寫，1996年時還被改編成電影，并由著名美國影星羅賓•威廉姆斯出演。 故事開始于1869年美國的新罕布什爾州，一對小兄弟在樹下埋了一個盒子。一百年以后，也就是1969年，一個叫艾倫•帕里什的小男孩找到了這個盒子并把它帶回了家。當時，他正在因為爸爸要把他送到寄宿學校而不開心。艾倫的朋友薩拉來了，之后，他們就一起打開了這個盒子，發現里面有一個棋盤游戲。當游戲開始的時候，出現了幾行字：“你想離開這個世界回到過去嗎?這就是專屬于你的游戲。”突然，艾倫發現自己消失在游戲里。 這個故事有更深層的意義。通過這次冒險旅程，艾倫學到了一些重要的道理——如果你可以面對自己的恐懼，那么問題就會解決。因此，艾倫選擇勇敢面對一個試圖殺害他的獵手范•佩爾特。最后，艾倫完成了游戲，回到了現實中。后來，他發現爸爸根本就沒有打算把他送去寄宿學校。 在“尤曼吉”這個故事中，時間是有彈性的。導演史蒂芬•斯皮爾伯格的電影“回到未來”中以同樣的方式處理了時間。頂尖的科學家甚至告訴我們時間旅行在理論上是行得通的!
56. 選A。題目問的是“誰出演的這部電影”。屬于細節題。
由第一段最后一句話“which was later filmed in 1996, starring the famous American actor Robin Williams”可知，選A。
補充：做該題時要注意兩點：一是 題干中的關鍵詞film，由此定位到文中;二是 對該題的出處句中的star這個動詞的理解，該處star的意為“由……主演”。
57. 選D。題目問的是“從故事中我們得知，Alan是個____的男孩”。屬于細節題。
第二段最后兩句“At the start of the game, ...... disappearing into the game.”說的是：“當游戲開始的時候，出現了幾行字：“你想離開這個世界回到過去嗎?這就是專屬于你的游戲。”突然，艾倫發現自己消失在游戲里。”，這里的disappearing into the game說的就是他leave the world behind and go back to the past, 離開了這個世界回到過去，由此可以得知選D。
58. 選A，題目問的是“通過這個游戲，Alan意識到無論他遇到什么困難，他都應該____”。該題屬于細節題。
從第三段中第二句“Through his adventure ... if you confront your fears, your problems will go away.”可以得知，解決問題的最好辦法就是勇敢面對它。故選A。
補充：該題還涉及到同義替換，選項中的face ... directly其實就是文中的confront之意。閱讀理解中涉及到的選項一般不會把文中的原句一字不差地給列出，而是會進行某些同義轉述，所以考生在備考中一定要注重詞匯積累這個基。
59. 選D。題目問的是“最后一段中作者所說的'time is elastic'是什么意思”。屬于推理題。
上文中說人們在游戲里可以穿越到過去，最后一句中科學家說時間旅行其實理論上是可行的，由此可以推斷出這里的elastic原意雖表示“具有彈性的”，但實際上意指人們可以時間旅行。故選D。

父母可能會說“誠實是最好的品質”，但是一旦跟自己孩子交談時，父母就會驚人地經常撒謊。這是加拿大多倫多大學的研究者們最近一項研究的結果。
在此項研究中，幾乎每個父母都承認自己為了影響孩子的言行舉止，曾編過某些故事。比如，當孩子總是哭，家長感覺很煩的時候，就會說你再哭，警察馬上就來捕逮你了。”再比如，一個孩子的叔叔去世了，父母會告訴孩子，叔叔變成了一顆星星在天上守護著他。
研究者表示，不管父母撒謊的初衷是為了有利于自己還是保護孩子，這樣含著謊言的故事會在孩子試圖了解這個世界的時候，給他們傳遞出一些混雜的信息。
不僅如此，謊言也可能傷害親子關系，甚至不利于孩子學習一些準則。一位名為赫曼的研究者說：“如果我總是用欺騙的方法讓孩子去做一些事情，這樣的話，他們就永遠不知道他們為什么要這么做。”
赫曼也提到，對于父母來說，為了引導孩子，可以采取很多種方法，包括說謊。但是大多數父母從未想過謊言會對孩子產生什么樣的影響。我覺得父母應該提前想清楚自己普遍信奉的原則，因此，一旦遇到類似的情況，你就會用你信奉的原財而不是一時沖動去處理問題。
60. 選D。題目問的是“最近的研究發現什么?”。該題屬于細節題。
第一段說的就是一項研究發現，即，父母在和孩子們說話中經常會說謊，故選D。
補充：一般文中，but后面出現的句子信息是我們所要重點關注的;finds a new study ...其實是主謂倒裝結構，主語是a new study，謂語是finds，賓語是前面but引出的句子，即研究結果。
61. 選A。題目問的是“第三段中的tall tales指的是什么?”。該題屬于推理題。
一般，such如果出現在某一名詞前，那么該名詞往往回指的是上文中的一些情況，所以要想知道tall tales之意，要看看上文。上文提到了一些父母跟孩子談話中所涉及到的謊言例子，而且根據下文中所說的“could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world.”都可以推斷出tall tales指的就是那些混雜著謊言的故事。
62. 選C。題目問的是“根據研究，父母的謊言會對孩子產生什么影響”。該題屬于推理題。
第三段提到“such tall tales could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world.”，由此可推理出，父母的謊言會影響孩子們對于社會的理解，故選C。
63. 選B。題目問的是“Heyman對父母的建議是什么”。該題屬于細節題。
最后一段提到Heyman說的一段話，其中“I think parents should...”一句就是對父母的建議，由此可知他認為父母應該提前想清楚自己普遍信奉的原則，因此，一旦遇到類似的情況，你就會用你信奉的原則而不是一時沖動去處理問題。故選B(Guide their children on sound beliefs.在合理的信奉的原則之上引導孩子。)

在湯姆•薩奇的眼中，一個扔掉的果汁盒不是垃圾，而是一個鉛筆盒，漂亮的包裝紙，美麗的風箏。但是這些并非是夢想家的想象。對于位于新澤西的特林頓公司28歲的CEO來說，這些都是商業模型。
薩奇語速很快，他引領了升級改造新產業潮流。特林頓公司并不從事回收業，即將物質粉碎：或者打破之后重新制成別的產品，它是把即將被當做垃圾填埋的包裝進行重新利用，可能是整個或者是部分的利用。公司85個雇員制 作近兩百種產品，在美國寵物用品連鎖超市、凱馬特、全食超市、塔吉特等地出售。
薩奇擁有的這個價值740萬美金的公司現在正在開拓墨西哥、加拿大、英國和巴西的市場。比起薩奇在2002年剛上普林斯頓大學時和同班同學喬恩•拜爾一起建立的那個小生意相較，確實今非昔比。那時，兩人參加了一個商業比賽，計劃是賣從蟲子排泄物中制作出的有機肥料，盡管比賽失利，但是此項生意卻由此開始了。
他們的目標——從垃圾中制作產品——變得清晰了，于是，薩奇覺得是時候從普林斯頓大學輟學了。
特林頓公司的第一件產品是使用餐廳泔水去喂養蟲子，用廢棄的瓶子包裝肥料，這是成本低廉并且環保的突破。通過人們的口口相傳，在2004年，美國家得寶公司開始把特林頓公司的肥料引入了其加拿大的店鋪。
對于薩奇來說，廢品并不是自然存在的物品。特林頓公司是給了某件家具或是某個冰淇淋盒子第二次利用的機會。正如薩奇所言，“最大的問題是，大多數綠色有機產品成本都比較高在特林頓公司，每個產品都是由垃圾制成的，而這些都是免費的。人們應該不需要為保護我們的星球付出任何成本。”
64. D。題目問的是“Tom Szaky是誰?”。屬于細節題。
由第一段最后一句“…the 28-year-old CEO of Trenton...”，可知，選D。
65. A。題目問“我們可以了解關于升級改造新產業的什么?”。該題屬于推理題。
由第二段第一句可知the new industry of upcycling其實就是TerraCycle該公司。依據接下來的第二句所陳述的“Instead of recycling, TerraCycle takes packaging headed for landfills and reuses it...”，可知，特林頓公司并不從事回收產業，它是把即將被當作垃圾填埋的包裝進行重新利用，可能是整個或者是部分的利用。故選A。
66. D。題目問的是“Szaky如何有了從事升級改造產業的靈感?”。該題屬于推理題。
根據第三段的內容“...but started the business anyway.”可知，薩奇在大學的時候因為參加一個比賽，計劃是賣從蟲子排泄物中制作出的有機肥料，嘗過這種活動，之后就開始從事這方面的商業活動。故選D。
67. A。題目問的是“Szaky認為升級改造產業的優勢是什么?”。該題屬于推理題。
根據最后一段第三、四句“...the biggest problem...is that they tend to cost more...and rubbish is free.”可知，產業最大的優勢就是原料是免費的，成本相對低廉。故選A。

單純的一個病毒可以像其他很多種化學物質一樣被保存在瓶子里。但是，一旦病毒附著在一個生命體上，它也就有了生命。只要被附著的物體活著，它就能生長。
但是，仍然有一個難題——病毒是什么?它是生命體或是化學物質?人類科學總是把有生命和無生命的物體視作是截然相反的兩者。隨著病毒的發現，他們開始意識到在之前的兩者之間還有一個中間的領域，它并不屬于任何一方。
直到二十世紀30年代，人們才普遍認識到，最大的化學分子和最小的生物體之間也是有巨大的大小差異的。當發明了新型的更加精細的過濾器之后，人們開始能夠測量病毒的大小。第一個被測量出的病毒直徑大概是100毫微米。
已知的最大的化學分子直徑僅僅是22毫微米，而最小的生物體的尺寸是這個數字的7倍，即將近150毫微米。病毒的測量數據顯示，它們的尺寸范圍在16到300毫微米之間變化。大多數病毒尺寸介于最大的化學分子和最小的生物體之間。
回到那個問題——病毒是什么?——病毒是有生命的，又是無生命的。在一個有生命的細胞中，病毒就是有生命的;在一個空瓶子里，病毒就跟一個化學物質沒什么兩樣。現在，我們意識到，其實病毒就是生命和非生命的紐帶。
68. A。題目問的是“文章大意是什么?”。該題屬于主旨題。
先要理順文章各個段落，第一段是引子，引出了第二段所提的問題“病毒是什么?”，然后一直到最后都是對于這個問題的回答，最后一段又重申了這個問題。因此這篇文章主要是說“病毒是什么?”，即我們應該如何去解讀病毒的概念。故選A。
69. D。題目問的是“是什么讓一個病毒有了生命?”。該題屬于細節題。
由第一段第二句“Yet, when a virus is placed on a living thing it comes to life.”可知當病毒附著在一個生命體上，病毒就是有生命的，故選D。
70. B。題目問的是“第二段中劃線詞組a grey area指的是什么?”。該題屬于推理題。
由第二段可知，科學家們總是把有生命和無生命的物體視作是截然相反的兩者。隨著病毒的發現，他們開始意識到這兩者之間還有一個中間的領域，它并不屬于任何一方。由此可推斷出這里的a grey area(灰色領域)指的是病毒處于一種生命體與非生命體的中間地帶。故選B。
補充：a grey area that was neither black nor white這里的black和white分別指的是前面被視作截然相反的兩者-life和not-life。
71. D。題目問的是“以下幾個選項中，哪個是尺寸最小的?”。該題屬于推理題。
根據倒數第二段最后一句“...larger than the largest chemical molecules and smaller than the smallest living things.”可知，通過三者的比較，應該是chemical molecules最小。故D為正確答案。
補充：注意這里的largest和smallest作的是定語，分別修飾chemical molecules和living things：最大的chemical molecules，最小的living things，而不是說chemical molecules就是最大，living things就是最小。這一點很具有迷惑性。
這里作比較的三者是：the smallest living things>viruses>the largest chemical molecules

從最后一段第一、二句“...gets you into 600 of Britain’s finest historic houses, castles and gardens...are open to GBH cardholders.”可知，擁有大不列顛古跡卡可以游英國境內六百個絕美的歷史建筑、城堡和花園。故選D。

Dear Bob，
You wrote to me saying that you were dreaming of a special weekend away from the noisy city and tedious life.
I am wondering that a day’s tour to the countryside might be a good idea. My recommendation is that I accompany you to Lanshan Village for the weekend and we will be staying at Uncle Zhang’s house. I’ve been there once and was amazed by the beautiful scenery there.
My plan goes like this. We can go for vegetable collection in the field in the morning, which we could breathe fresh air and get a great meal for lunch. Fishing is also fun, which we can go in the afternoon. There is a river near where we live and it only takes us ten minutes on foot. If we are lucky, we could enjoy nice fish for supper. After supper, we can enjoy singing and dancing performed by countrymen.
If you have anything particular in mind, please let me know.
Best wishes.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
