“Homestay” is a form of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local (当地的) family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability, ” said a teacher during a school meeting last term. “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won’t be disappointed (失望的). ”
After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.
As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family (寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.
The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.
The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong. 36. In the “homestay” program, a visitor can . A. learn more about holidays B. understand his culture better C. improve the language ability D. take part in foreign meetings 37. The writer had wanted to visit London since . A. last month B. years ago C. the special meeting D. her stay abroad 38. The group leader should . A. make plans for the family B. take care of the students C. stay with different families D. rent rooms to the students 39. The writer’s host family . A. was very kind to her B. went sight-seeing with her C. had two white daughters D. was interested in her activities 40. From the passage, we know that the writer in London.
A. wished to stay a little longer B. spent three weeks in her home
C. had classes in many interesting places D. helped the teacher take the students in a car

We have to accept (接受) the truth: sometimes, we just want to shout out loud.
For example, we all have days like this: our dog has made a mess on the floor we just cleaned, or our friend called to tell us he or she couldn't come at the last minute when we had cooked dinner for him or her. We may be really angry but we tried to bear things like those. According to ancient Chinese wisdom (智慧).We should shout in a loud voice instead of keeping silent. In fact, it's good for our health.
“Chinese people have passed on the practice from ancient times to now as a part of traditional medicine.” said Mrs. Li, a 60-year-old woman from Hangzhou.“My parents taught me to do this. It's a part of our folk (民间的) culture.”
Mrs. Li is member of a group of people who love shouting. Each morning, she and some of her friends climb to top of the hill, and let out loud shouts before starting their daily exercise. They believe that shouting is good exercise for their lungs (肺) and it brings them a lot of fun.
“Sometimes I shout out and other shout back,” said Mrs. Gu , another shouting lover.“It makes you happy. You laugh and then you feel very comfortable.” X Kb1. Com
Dr. Peter Calafiura , an American doctor, agrees that shouting can have a positive influence on people's health.
So, next time you start your morning run, why not try to shout out first? It will make you healthier.
41.The underline word “bear” in Paragraph 2 means “________” in Chinese.
A.纠正 B.忍受 C.铭记 D.杜绝 42.Mrs.Li learnt to shout to make herself feel better from ________.
A. her parents B. her teacher C. Mrs. Gu D . Dr. Peter Calafiura 43.Where does Mrs. Li shout every day?
A. In a park. B. At a square. C. In her house. D. On a hill. 44.What does Dr. Caliafiura think of shouting?
A. It's great fun. B. It's good for people's health. C. It's easy to learn. D. It's good exercise especially for kids. 45.The passage is mainly about________.
A. a shouting lover B. a shouting club C. the advantages of shouting D. the history of shouting
