21、Many people like to travel when they have time off from school or work. They might go to their hometown to see their family, or travel somewhere far. But not everyone does this—some people take a “staycation” instead.

A staycation is a vacation when you do not travel at all. Some people use a staycation to just stay at home, and others prefer to experience the attractions around them without traveling very far.

There are many choices for staycations. Any town or city has plenty of choices for things to do if you know where to look. If the weather is nice, you can visit the local gardens or forests for a hike. You can look online for several historic places and create your own history tours. Of course, you can also visit other attractions in the areas like museums, restaurants, bars, parks, beaches, and so on.

I had a staycation of my own over the summer. I slept in late every day. I worked on music and played video games. I wasn’t too lonely—I had my cat to play with, and I visited some of my friends around the city.

Traveling is fun from time to time. But it’s also nice to just stay home and relax. It’s also cheaper, since I don’t have to pay to travel. You can choose to do just about anything you want—or, if you want, just do nothing. There’s nothing wrong with that.

【1】Which of the following is a staycation?

A．Working overtime during vacation.

B．Staying at home for vacation.

C．Going back to hometown for vacation.

22、When he was a teenager, Hunter Adams was very unhappy and he spent many years in a special hospital for people with mental (精神的) health problems.

When he left the hospital, Adams decided to become a doctor, so he went to a medical school in Virginia, the USA. But when he was there, he did things in a different way. For example, he didn’t like the doctors’ white coats, so he wore shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients and he tried to make them laugh. The doctors at the medical school didn’t like Adams because he was too different.

But Adams believed that people in hospital need more than medicine. He saw unhappy and lonely people, and he tried to help them. He spent a lot of time with children in hospital and often dressed up like a clown to make the children laugh. When he finished medical school and became a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital, called “The Gesundheit Institute”, together with some other doctors. They wanted it to be a place with a different way of working with sick people.

Hunter Adams became famous during the 1980s, and in 1998, Universal Pictures made a film about his life. It was very successful. In the film (called Patch Adams), Robin Williams played Adams.

23、The storytellers’ secrets

Find out how writers and artists create their exciting works.

Great stories don’t just happen. Sometimes they can require years of work and effort. For example, J. K. Rowling first had the idea for the Harry Potter series while stuck on a train in 1990—and the first book didn’t come out until 1997. If you have ever wondered how great story tellers come up with their ideas, now you can find out. From September 24 to September 26, the Stories Festival will bring together lots of interesting people to talk about their work at Picturehouse Central, in London.

One of those will be the author and illustrator（插画家）, Rob Biddulph, who will discuss his new book Peanut Jones and the illustrated City. He says the key to making the most of a story idea is to jot it down. “I find that ideas leave my head almost as quickly as they enter,” says Bildulph, “so I have to make a note of them immediately, otherwise they will he gone forever.”

Some story tellers at the event—such as Holly Smale, Elle McNicoll (she won the Waterstones’ Children’s Book Prize) and the author and illustrator Abigail Balfe—are sharing their thoughts on why it’s important that people with disabilities are represented in fiction. “Every child deserves（应该）to see themselves reflected positively in stories,” says McNicoll.

Finally, if you find it hard to come up with ideas by yourself, you might want to listen to Christ Smith, the bestselling author of the Kid normal series, discussing his new book The Great Dream Robbery. “I love being silly and coming up with ideas together,” he says, “so it is a complete joy to get to write them into a story that will outlive us.”

24、Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you.

Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t try to talk about something with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t listen to you if you are shouting at them. Go somewhere else to cool off. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you think you can’t speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter to them.

Try to understand your parents. Your parents may think differently from you. Tell your parents what you think, what you care about and why. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. Put yourself in their shoes and you may find a better way out.

Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to an agreement. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

It is also important to show your love to your parents. Try to do some small things at home, like making them a cup of tea, helping do some chores, and so on. It helps to keep your relationship closer. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try.

25、根据首字母提示补全短文。

When someone asks you to do something you do not want to, what should you do? It’s a good idea to say “no” at this time. It’s better to spend more time on some useful a【1】.

However, you may worry others will think you are i【2】or unkind. What should you do? Here are some tips that may help you.

It is OK to make up white lies(谎言). That doesn’t mean you are dishonest. I【3】, it may make both you and the other person pleased and comfortable.

When invited to an activity that you do not want to t【4】 part in, you can say, “No, but thanks for the invitation. That’s very kind of you.” In this way you can not only refuse politely b【5】 also make the person who invited you feel comfortable.

When you don’t want to lie(说谎), just tell the t【6】. You may say like this, “I want to s【7】 more time on myself, so I’ve decided to say ‘no’ to these activities.” In this way, people will see that you respect(尊重) y【8】, and as a result they’ll also pay you more respect.

My last suggestion is to just do it. You may feel uncomfortable at f【9】, but this is not the reason for saying “no”. Never make anything more complicated(复杂的) than it is.

Feel proud of yourself for being strong e【10】 to say “no”.
