There is always plenty of rain in Britain the whole year round.As a rule,the month with the least rainfall is July.At best,out of the 31 days of July,you might get 21 days of dry weather and sunshine.In July of 1973,London did not see a single drop of rain,but that was a rare exception.At that time,foreign tourists kept on asking the British where they had "imported" their sunshine from.Throughout the British Isles there is an annual rainfall of about 110 centimeters.England alone gets 89 centimeters annually of that British total.On average,May to July are the driest months in England,and November to early March the wettest.A period of as long as 3 weeks without rain is exceptional and normally confined to limited areas like the coasts of southwest England,Wales and the west coast of Scotland.June and July are the months of longest sunlight:from about 4:30 a.m.to 10:00 p.m.

The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children.The weather is usually good, so that one can spend most of one’s time playing in the garden or, if one lives in the country, out in the woods and fields.Even if one lives in a big town, one can usually go to a park to play.
The best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside.Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for the others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something which they will talk about for the whole of the following year.
In England, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to Southend or Margate, Blackpool or Clacton, he is usually quite able to do so.
Now, what is it that children like so much about the seaside? I think it is the sand, sea and sun more than any other things.Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under one’s feet, of salt water on one’s skin, and of the warm sun on one’s back that makes the seaside what it is.

A.with July

2.After the examination, all pupils leave for home ________.
A.by train only

D.by either train or car
3.The summer holiday lasts _______.

4.July and August are the brightest months for most children, for they can _______.

One of the most famous sports superstars in the United States was the boxer, Muhammed Ali.As a young man, he won a gold medal in the Olympics as a boxer. Then he became the heavy weight boxing champion of the world. Before long, he was known as one of the greatest boxers in sports history. Once Ali said when he was a champion he was more famous than the president of the United States or the head of any other country in the world.
The word "super" means something that is good, and of course, a star is a person who is famous. So people use "superstar" to describe the top people in sports, films or music. But like the stars in the sky, a superstar disappears as time goes by. Many people, for example, know little these days about Ali or Jackson. Superstars are loved by millions of people today, but often forgot-ten tomorrow.
Michael Jackson is famous for his ____________ but Muhammed Ali for his ____________.
A.films; heavyweight
B.Bsketball; Olympic record
C.songs; heavyweight boxing
D.voice; Olympic record
When two hands meet, we pass on something of ourselves. After 【26】______ to Mark Twain, Helen—who was both deaf and blind—commented, "I can feel the twinkle of his eye 【27】______ his handshake." In some indefinable way, Twain had 【28】______ his charm to Keller.
And that's probably been true of the handshake all the 【29】______ back to its earliest days, — 【30】______ no one can tell its actual 【31】______ . A common explanation is that 【32】______ early man encountered a stranger, he 【33】______ out his hand to show he had no weapon. From this, supposedly, 【34】______ the handshake.
Not so, says historian Brian Burke. He believes, the handshake 【35】______ "putting your blood behind your breath." He explains that ancient people 【36】______ the spoken word alone, and they used the handclasp to signify that their 【37】______ was backed up by the 【38】______ of their heart—i, e. , their blood. 【39】______ , the handshake suggested trust.
That 【40】______ of trust has survived to this day. People in business often 【41】______ agreements simply by declaring, "Let's shake 【42】______ it."
Perhaps the most 【43】______ handshake took place on July 17, 1975, during the Apollo-Soyuz get-together in space. After the two crafts came together, American astronaut Thomas Stafford 【44】______ the extended hand of Soviet cosmonaut Alexey Leonov. The 【45】______ to the world was one of friendship and peace.

听力原文:W: Hey, Joe. What's all this talk about a benefit walkathon this weekend?
M: Don't you know? Most of the residents in Parker Hall are going to try to walk the seven miles from the Engineering Library, across campus, and down to City Hall in an effort to raise money for the new children's hospital.
W: Sounds like a good ideal But I don't understand where the money comes from.
M: Well, a few days before the walkathon, each participant goes around asking people to pledge a certain amount of money for each mile that he or she expects to walk in the event. Then after the walkathon is over, the participants go back to those same people, collect the money pledged, and send it to the hospital.
W: So you mean if you pledge, say, a dollar a mile and you walk five miles, then you get five dollars.
M: That's fight. Of course most of my friends aren't such big spenders. The biggest pledge I've gotten so far is 25 cents a mile.
W: And how many people have made pledges for you?
M: Eleven so far. Say, how about making it a dozen?
W: Sure. If you'll do the same for me. The walkathon sounds like the perfect opportunity for me to break in my new pair of sports shoes.
