What's a good holiday like? Good rests and relaxation are necessary. We can go to visit cartoon shows or do much more reading which is not possible to do when we are at school. Maybe it is a good idea to pay a visit to see those lovely wild animals.
However, holiday does not mean you won't take care of your homework. You have to make a good plan to make sure you finish the homework first. It is a very good opportunity for us to review what we have learned at school. It is also a right time to adjust our mood and attitude.
I think this is a nice holiday.
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words
There’s no place like home
Some people dream of having a home ‘just like the ones in decorating magazines’. That sort of beautifully stylish home may be ____________________, but for a truly special place to live, why not choose a home unlike any other in the neighbourhood? The unique houses on these pages challenge people to reconsider what a home is ____________________ to look like.
Environmentally friendly homes are getting a lot of ____________________ these days. Earthships, for example, are unusual homes made from materials like mud, straw and reused wood. The designers of earthships combine these natural materials with recycled ____________________, such as bottles, cans and old tyres. These homes show their belief that, when it comes to saving the environment, ‘if you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.’
Additionally many of these homes use wind or solar power. They are designed to collect and recycle water, and the people who live in them often add a greenhouse in which to grow food. As a result, if you live in an earthship, your monthly living cosplayts will ____________________ to almost zero. For people who want to try one out, the Phoenix Earthship in the US is available as holiday accommodation.
Shipping containers are now being reused to make ____________________ type of environmentally friendly home. A number of architects have started changing individual containers into holiday homes. Alternatively they can be combined to make office blocks and blocks of flats, such as those Container City in London, England.
With all of the examples of imaginative homes, it is clear that people no longer need to settle for ordinary living spaces. One thing is sure: people living in homes that look as ____________________ as these never have to give anyone their address. They can just say, ‘Look for the weird house. You will know it when you see it.’
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适合的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）
Something changed a few years ago. Around 2012, teens started to spend their time much differently from the generations before. I started to notice big differences in teens’ b___81___ and attitudes in the yearly survey of 11 million young people.
A 2017 survey found that two out of three U.S. teens owned an iphone. For this reason, Icall them iGen（iphone generation）.
What makes iGen different?
Growing up with a smart phone has affected nearly every aspect of their lives. They spend so much time on the internet, texting friends and on social media, an average of about six hours per day, so they have less free time for everything else. That i___82___ going to parties, shopping at the mall or watching movies with their friends. These were o___83___ the favorite activities of most teens. But now iGen teens are taking part in these social activities at a lower rate than others.
A link that should be noticed
I wondered if these changes might be c___84___ to their deteriorating（退化）mental health. Sure enough, I found that teens who spend more time on screens are less happy and more disappointed. Meanwhile, a 2017 study asked some adults to give up Facebook for a week and others to continue using it. Those who gave up Facebook felt happier, less l___85__ and less disappointed during the week as they had more free time for social activities like meeting friends, watching movies, etc.
What else is lost?
Spending less time with friends means less time to develop social abilities. A 2016 study showed that the sixth graders who spent just five days at a camp w___86___ using screens ended time better at reading expression on others’ faces.
That isn’t to say that iGen teens don’t have a___87___. They are physically safer and more tolerant（宽容）. They also seem to have a stronger work spirit and more realistic expectations. To my surprise, the iGen teens I interviewed said they preferred seeing their friends in person to communicating with them using their phones.
But it might be just what iGen needs.
