Things to Do with Kids in San Francisco
Exploratorium
The Exploratorium is a 21st-century learning lab. It takes the best part of a hands-on children’s museum and
mixes it with real science, exploration, and adventure. It is a fun and interesting place or children and adults alike. I
would not recommend the Exploratorium for children under age 5.
Palace of Fine Arts
The Palace of Fine Arts is a great place to visit when the weather is nice. The gardens are beautiful and it’s fun
to walk around and explore. A lot of special events seem to be held here including weddings. The kids really enjoy
walking around and taking pictures.
San Francisco Cable Cars
No trip to San Francisco would be complete without a ride on a cable car. The best line to pick up is the Hyde
line because it is the longest. The best time to go is first thing in the morning because the lines can be long. Another
tip is to pick it up mid-line. Or ride another two lines where they won’t be as crowded.
Boudin Museum Bakery Tour
The Boudin Museum Bakery Tour cannot be missed. You may be blown away by the enthusiasm and
knowledge of your tour guide, the quality of the museum, hands-on and photography friendly exhibits, and the rich
San Francisco history that is a part of Boudin Bakery. Don’t miss taking the test to find out what kind of bread you
are. It sounds silly but trust me, you’ll want to take the quick quiz.
1. Which of the following can give kids hands-on science experience?
A. Palace of Fine Arts. B. Exploratorium.
C. Boudin Museum Bakery Tour. D. San Francisco Cable Cars.
2. What do we know about San Francisco Cable Cars?
A. Few people like to ride them. B. Their round trips take a short time.
第3页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. They are running on three lines. D. They often break down on the way.
3. What can visitors do on their Boudin Museum Bakery Tour?
A. Learn to be a guide. B. Hold special events.
C. Walk around a garden. D. Take an interesting test.
B
In October, I told the eight-year-olds in the class I teach in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, about my plan. “Since
all of you have done extra jobs around the house to earn some money,” I said, “then we’ll buy food for a
Thanksgiving dinner for someone who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.” I hoped they could experience a
sense of their own power to bring change.
I watched them while they walked up and down the supermarket. “Flowers!” Kristine cried. The group rushed
towards the holiday plants.
“You can’t eat flowers.”—It was wiser to use any extra money to buy something that could be turned into
meals.
“But Mrs Sherlock,” came the begging voice, “we want flowers.”
Defeated finally, I put a pot of “funny” purple mums (菊花) in the cart full of foods. “She’ll like this one,” the
children agreed.
An organization had given us the name and address of a needy grandmother who had lived alone for many
years. We finally pulled up in front of a small house. A slightly-built woman with a weary face came to the door to
welcome us.
My little group ran to get the foods. As, each box was carried in, the old woman kept on saying “Thanks.”-
much to her visitors’ pleasure. When Amy put the mums on the counter, the woman seemed surprised. She’s
wishing it was a bag of rice, I thought.
We returned to the car. As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window. The woman inside
waved goodbye, then turned and walked across the room, past the turkey, past the goods, straight to the mums. She
put her face in them. When she raised her head, there was a smile on her lips. She was transformed (转变) before
our eyes.
,
The children were quiet. At that moment they had seen for themselves the power they have to make another’s
life better. The children had sensed that sometimes a person needs a pot of funny purple flowers on a dark
November day.

Teenagers have long been told that being active and taking part in various sports is good for their health. But
new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too
little sport.
Researchers from Switzerland say their study suggests that 14 hours of physical activity a week is best for
promoting good health in teenagers. However, they found that more than 14 hours appears to be detrimental to
their health. To reach their findings, the researchers surveyed more than 1,245 teenagers aged between 16 and 20
from Switzerland.
All participants were required to answer questions on height and weight, sports practice, sports injuries and
well-being. Their well-being was assessed (评估) using the World Health Organization (WHO) Well-Being Index,
and the average well-being score for all participants was 17.
The researchers divided sports participation into low (0 — 3.5 hours a week), average (3.6 — 10.5 hours),
high (10.6 — 17.5 hours), and very high (more than 17.5 hours). The researchers found that participants in the low
and very high activity groups were more than twice as likely to have well-being scores below 13, compared with
participants in the average group. The researchers found that the highest well-being scores were gotten by
第5页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司participants who carried cut around 14 hours of physical activity a week, but exercising beyond 14 hours resulted in
lower well-being scores.
Commenting on their findings, the researchers say physical activity has been connected with positive
emotional well-being, reduced sadness, anxiety and stress disorders, and improved self-respect in teenagers.
The researchers suggest that their study stresses the importance for physicians caring for teenagers to check
their level of sports practice and ask them about their well-being. Teenagers probably need a supportive and closer
follow-up of their health and well-being. The findings can provide information for guideline groups who produce
recommendations on sports practice for teenagers.
8. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
.
A Useless. B. Important. C. Reasonable. D. Harmful.
9. What do the researchers find out?
A. Low sports participation causes overweight.
B. The sports participation is divided into four levels.
C. The highest well-being scores are gotten in the “high” group.
D. The average well-being score of teenagers between 16 and 20 in Switzerland is 17.
10. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A research paper. B. A health magazine. C. A business report. D. A fitness diary.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Measures to improve teenagers’ well-being.
B. Concerns of physicians about teenagers’ well-being.
C. Importance of physical activities on teenagers’ well-being.
D. Relationship between sports participation and teenagers’ well-being.

Sometimes I began to imagine: what if I were neighbors with all of my friends? The more I’ve thought about it,
the more I believe: we should all live close to our friends.
For the past century, the nuclear family, only including parents and children, has defined U.S. homes. But
Americans lived with friends and extended family long before the nuclear family became common. Even now, this
mode of living exists somewhere; think of college campuses, which tend to be the kind of walkable communities
where you’re regularly running into pals on the street.
While moving closer to friends would likely require a lot of efforts, doing so could actually be really good for
you. Having supportive friends is connected with greater day-to-day happiness. Researchers have found that happiness

学科网（北京）股份有限公司spreads easily, especially among those who live close together. Friends living within a mile of each other are 25
percent more likely to feel happy, and their friends have a 10 percent chance of feeling happier too. Live around
people who make you happy, and you might create a happiness circle that cheers up everyone around you.
Having a pal around is also just practical. For people with kids, a friend in the neighborhood might be able to
help with child care in times of need, saving you the cost of a last-minute babysitter. Those without children might
welcome the chance to bond with friends’ kids. And for people who live alone, living closer to friends can make
savings on some things easier. You might share household items you don’t need every day, for example. Whatever
the reason, having more people you trust around will make it easier for you to get through difficult times.
Many people are prepared to move for a new job, to be with a romantic partner, or even just for an adventure.
Moving to be closer to friends should be no different. Friends are important to a good life. So why not shorten the
distance between you and them?
12. Which was popular in the US before the nuclear family became common?
A. The one-parent family.
B. The extended family only.
C. The college campus community.
D. The family group with relatives and friends.
13. What do the percentages in Para. 3 show about living closer to friends?
A. It spreads happiness among friends easily.
B. It benefits one’s physical and mental health.
C. It improves one’s awareness of family building.
D. It increases one’s chances of making more new friends.
14. What is the practical advantage of living near friends?
A. Greater personal growth. B. Lower living costs.
C. More health care services. D. Better leisure activities.
15. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To advise living in nuclear families.
B. To call on maintaining good friendships.
C. To encourage people to live close to friends.
D. To tell people how to turn friends into neighbors.

You are never too old, too poor, too young, or too sick to live your dreams. Dreams are just dreams until you
decide they are going to be something more. ___16___
Perfect timing is a myth.
There will always be an excuse for you to keep waiting for the perfect set of circumstances to appear in your
life. If you are going to be a dream chaser, start chasing your dreams now. ___17___
Actions make dreams come true.
This is where dreamers often get stuck, the taking action part. ___18___ Dreaming is the formulation of a
thought and living the dream is taking that thought into actions. If all the great dreamers in the world kept their
dreams in the formulation stage we might not have things such as computers, phones, or cars. Think of the roles
those dreams play in all of our lives.
Obstacles will appear.
___19___ Every dream chaser meets them. Do not let your obstacles prevent you from continuing on the path
to your dream. If Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook, had given up when he had his first major obstacle in
2006, who knows where Facebook would be today? He instead chose to meet his obstacles and continued to the
next phase of changing how we all communicate in the world today.
___20___
Sometimes people want to go so fast that they sabotage the speed of their dreams. The greatest dreams are the
ones that are the most challenging. There is no easy button to living them. There is a transition phase that has to
take place when you go from chasing to actually living the dream.
A. Focus on the formulation.
B. There is no fast and easy way.
C. Don’t put off living your dream until tomorrow.
D. Think about your dream when you wake up every day.
E. Dreams are great to have, but living them is the game changer.
F. When you are chasing your dream, be prepared to meet with obstacles.
G. Here are several things you should know if you have started chasing your dreams.

___26___ my confidence. However, I could see a huge ___27___ between what I thought I’d be doing and what
the course ___28___ required.
Over the next few weeks, I looked back on the past and thought about what I could have done differently to have
had a more pleasant ___29___. It was a ___30___ game! If I could win, I would be able to ___31___ this
course.
A week before the end of the diving course, I went to complete two dives with my instructor. I knew that if I
didn’t give it another ___32___, I would always carry the fear with me, and it would only get ___33___ with time. As
I revised the ___34___ and put on my gear (装备), I thought to myself, “This is it!” I took a deep breath, held my
