One of the hardest parts of living abroad is being away from your loved ones, especially your family. While my friends are so important to me, I’ve personally found it more difficult being away from family.
However, I was fortunate that my mum and sister recently found the time to see me. Both my sister and I have major birthdays this year as she's tuming 18 and I'll be 21. My sister is a very big music fan and this year, I created my status as the best older sister by keeping an eye out for music concerts in Paris. In our home town of Leicester, we don’t regularly get many well-known artists playing in our city. But in Paris, I managed to get the best 18th birthday present of all: tickets for all three of us to see my sister’s favorite American rapper, Angel Haze.
I will try to visit for my sister’s actual birthday in June, the chance for my sister and my mum to visit became a birthday treat. The experience of finding our way together to the concert or getting to show them around the Paris sites such as the Eiffel Tower,the Arc du Triomphe and even my favorite ice cream place,Amorino, was an amazing memory for us all !Despite the fact that I felt the slight pressure to make sure the weekend went smoothly,even the heavy rain failed to dampen our mood.
Therefore, while it can be difficult being away from home and potentially missing big family moments,there are ways to avoid
the sadness and find a way to make the best of your situation to create an unforgettable memory. Just like the continuing rain while we went up the Eiffel tower, every cloud has a silver lining, because then we got the funniest photos ever!

Most of us have been in this situation: You're on your way to your friend's house, then you suddenly ask yourself,\"Did I remember to turn the lights off?” For those with \"smart homes\
however, this wouldn’t be a problem.
Over the last few years,smart home technology has become more popular. Thanks to user-friendly products like intelligent lighting and heating controllers, people can control nearly every electrical item in their homes from anywhere in the world.
While smart homes aren't new, companies like Philips, Amazon and Xiaomi have finally brought automation to everyday people with affordable products like artificial intelligence(AI) speakers and sensors.
“The obvious message is that you can stop wasting energy,” Tom Kerber, director of research for U. S -based digital company Parks Associates, told The Guardian.
And the technology also has more meaningful uses. In Norway, for example, one company is using smart tech to make life easier for its elderly customers. Abilia's system allows carers to check up on patients through a tablet on a wall inside their home. The device sends patients reminders about tasks, such as when they need to take medication(冥想). It can even tell carers if there's any unusual activity in the home that could be life-threatening.
“This ki nd of system allows people to take care of themselves, which is the most important thing,” Abilia's vice president, Oystein Johnsen, told the BBC. \"It also saves the government money. In Norway, it costs 1 million kroner(about 0. 8 million yuan )per year to have someone in a care home. This system costs 15,000 kroner a year.”
So, for those who have already \"gone smart\possible to go back to do things in the old-fashioned way? \"I think it would be difficult. When we go to a friend’s house o r on vacation we find ourselves expecting the house to do things
for us that we should do, \"Poulson, 35,
a senior program manager from Seattle.,U. S.,explained. 28. What are the first and second paragraphs used for? A.Introducing the topic. B.Describing the situation. C.Advertising smart homes.

29. What do Philips, Amazon and Xiaomi have in common? A.They are all designing smart homes. B.They are all U. S -based digital company. C.They've all advanced in smart technology.
D.They've all received affordable products automatically. 30. What does Abilia's system allow users to do in Norway? A.To take care of themselves. B.To buy user-friendly products. C.To control heating and cooling. D.To switch lights through a tablet.
31. what's Poulson's attitude to smart technology? A.Cautious. B.Favorable C.Ambiguous. D.Disapproving. D
Bamboo is one of the world's most useful plants. For thousands of years, bamboo has been used in many different ways-from food to medicine to clothing and, in small ways, as a building material.
However, bamboo is not often used as a building material in the developed world. A professor at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania is trying to change that. The professor and his
students are testing the strength of bamboo.They are testing how much pressure or weight it can take before breaking.
Kent Harries is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Harries says that testing methods for bamboo need to be the same for all. They need to be standardized. Standardizing test methods for bamboo will help to bring the plant into common use. It will also give engineers and builders around the world a dependable standard.
Harries says that bamboo is strong in nature. The strength of at least three species of bamboo is similar to steel.Besides its strength, bamboo has other features that make it very useful in building. He says it is resilient(有弹力的), meaning it keeps its shape and strength even under pressure.
Bamboo also grows quickly. Bamboo that is suitable for construction needs much less resources than wood. The harvest cycle of bamboo is about 3 years. Softwoods such as cedar, pine and spruce have a harvest cycle of about 10 years. And hardwoods that come from flowering plants such as oak and walnut need more than 30 years.
Bamboo is widely used as food for panda bears. It is also used for flooring and window covers. However, for building, bamboo is not used much outside its native growing area. This is mostly because of its round shape. But there are other reasons too. People think -- or have the mentality--that bamboo is a low quality building material.
32.What is the author mainly talking about in the passage? 33. A. Make bamboo a common building material. 34. B. Take advantage of bamboo in our everyday. 35. C. Consider bamboo to be a common plant. 36. D. Use bamboo to replace building materials.
37.33. What is the purpose of what Kent Harries and his students did?
38. A. To prove what is the most useful plant. 39. B. To introduce bamboo to the developed world. 40. C. To give engineers and builders some advice. 41. D. To make sure of the strength of bamboo.
42.34. What does Harries think of bamboo in the passage? 43. A. Harries sees bamboo as a great building material. 44. B. Harries thinks bamboo is as strong as steel. 45. C. Harries sees bamboo as the most ideal Plant. 46. D. Harries thinks bamboo has the reliable shape. 35. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Bamboo Is an environmentally friendly building material. B. Bamboo material will go to the market in the soon future. C. Hardwoods are much more popular than softwoods. D. Bamboo grows not only faster but takes up less space. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

The goal of homework is to help students remember and understand what they learned in school that day. It can also help teach them independence and time-management and planning skills, which are keys to success in the real world. 36 Here are some successful habits of how to do a good job of homework.
Set the stage.
Your children need a quiet spot to do their homework.This should be the same place every day, whether it is at the kitchen table or at their desk in their room. 37 You can take the time to work on a quiet task of your own, whether it's paying bills, reading the newspaper, or planning the next day.
Time it right.
Homework for young children should be done when your children get home from school,
because the information is still fresh in their minds and they have enough energy. Have your kids eat some snacks and talk about their day with you.Then have them start their homework. 38 It's not your homework: it's theirs.
You need to be involved in homework to see what your children are learning and how well they know what they need to know. 39 But guide them if they are struggling. You want them to get the feeling of pride and accomplishment on their own.
40
Let your children know how grown up it is for them to have homework and how proud you are of them. Try to instill (灌输）into them that it is “fun” to be able to do the assigned tasks. Let them show you their work, praise them for finishing their homework, and always do it with a smile.
