Off-Peak fares are cheaper tickets for traveling on trains that are less busy, offering good value for money. The tickets may require you to travel at specific times of day, days of the week or on a specific route. Where there is more than one Off-Peak fare for a journey, the cheaper fare is called Super Off-Peak.
You can buy Off-Peak tickets any time before you travel, either online or at a local station. The travel restrictions for your Off-Peak ticket will depend on the journey you are making. The tickets must be used on the date shown on the ticket. For Off-Peak return tickets, related journeys must be made on the date shown on your ticket as well.
Children aged five to fifteen get a 50% discount for all Off-Peak fares. Up to 2 children under 5 years can travel free with each fare paying adult. Railcard holders get l/3 off all Standard Class Off-Peak fares. Senior, and disabled Railcard holders also get l/3 off all First Class Off Peak fares. Please note that minimum fares and time restrictions may apply to tickets bought with a Railcard.
If you plan on a train trip with friends or your family, you may get group travel discounts. Three or four can travel for the price of just two adults--leaving everyone more money to spend on the day out! If you are traveling in a group of ten or more at Off-Peak times, you may be able to obtain a further discount through the train company you are traveling with. Contact the train company directly and be aware that you may need to book tickets in advance.

When I was about 5 years old, I experienced my very first random act of kindness. I was sitting at the roadside one evening, crying alone for some reason when suddenly, a boy came up to me and gave me a plastic rose, I remember the moment when I took the rose from his hand; I was smiling from ear to ear, whispering “I want to be like him” to myself as I watched him walking away.
From then on, I made it as my life mission to do random acts of kindness whenever I can. I was very determined to make other people smile. That was the only reason why I joined my school’s Red Crescent Society and became a volunteer. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks in the same way as I did. Whenever I do something nice to others, people around me will start to judge my actions. Often I will just keep quiet and ignore what they say, but every once in a while, they do drive me up the wall.
These people like to complain about how humans nowadays are lacking of humanities and compassion. However, when they actually see somebody doing a good deed in front of them, they start to question and criticize that person’s honesty. Perhaps it is the increasing crime rate and the never-ending rat race that caused them to be so suspicious to nice strangers. In other words, people nowadays have lost sight of the real meaning of kindness and just let it go unnoticed. That is why I think random acts of kindness are really important. These selfless acts are not only capable of bringing joy to the recipients but also to the givers. Because of this, I want to help spread the idea of these random acts to the whale world. I want to show the people how the little things they give could make a big difference in someone else’s life.

A. It made the author feel ashamed. B. The author decided to follow suit.
C. The author said a lot to the boy. D. It gave the author strength and hope.
5. Why did the author join the school’s Red Crescent Society
A. To be a volunteer. B. To live a happy life.
C. To make others smile. D. To have a good time.
6. Which can replace the underlined phrase in paragraph 2
A. Make me very angry. B. Bring difficulty to me.
C. Force me to climb the wall. D. Force me to the dead corner.
7. What can be inferred from the third paragraph
A. Rats are always running on the streets. B. Those who do good deeds are respected.
C. The author feels sad about other people. D. Trust between people is decreasing.
C
Corporate culture is the values and beliefs a company develops over time. The role of corporate culture is to improve a company’s mission and strategies, with long-term hopes of improvements in a company’s profit. Mostly corporate culture comes from a company’s top management.
One role of corporate culture is to influence employee behavior, honesty, and compliance(服从). A company does not have to necessarily create a direct influence for these actions. A direct influence may be a set of written regulations or other policies, and while these may be in place, the corporate culture is usually more of an indirect influence.
While many companies try to create corporate culture through the use of written policies, its role is harder to define. The human factor has an influence on how corporate culture is expressed. The way upper management acts and reacts to various situations defines how lower-level employees will act, and this aspect may be more important than any written policy.
A company’s corporate culture can also extend beyond the walls of the business. Consumers who believe a company to be honest and forthright(直率)may be more loyal in their buying behavior. Employees in a company’s customer service department can also exhibit positive corporate culture to outside individuals. In this case, the culture creates a link between the company’s employees and its customers. How customers react may be a direct result from the company’s corporate culture.
Product quality can also be influenced by a company’s corporate panies that focus only on profits may decide to avoid high-quality materials in products, but try to suggest that the products are of higher quality than they really are. This negative culture can then result in lower brand loyalty with consumers.
8. What do we know about corporate culture from this passage
A. It is a set of rules and regulations. B. It is the way the employees act.
C. It is the values and beliefs of a company. D. It is the long term hope of a company.
9. Which of the following is more efficient in creating corporate culture
A. Making a set of rules and regulations.
B. Setting an example for the employees.
C. Learning the corporate culture regularly.
D. Encouraging the employees to work harder.
10. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A. The customer is always right.
B. Corporate culture has different functions.
C. Without corporate culture, a company will die.
D. Positive corporate culture can promote sales.
11. Which word can describe the companies mentioned in the last paragraph
A. Creative. B. Efficient. C. Dishonest. D. Disloyal.
D
Feelings often run high where insects are concerned, with many people even sick when seeing them, let alone touch or swallow them. And yet insects present a huge nutritional opportunity as an increasing global population seeks more sources of food and feed.
Insects have generally high levels of animal protein and key micronutrients with lower environmental footprints than traditional alternatives, and they can be raised on leftovers. But cultural, social and economic problems remain, reports an article published today in Nutrition Bulletin.
“Insects present a nutritional opportunity, but it is unclear how their nutritional quality is influenced by what they are fed,” says Darja Dobermann, a researcher at the University of Nottingham. “In ideal conditions, insects have a smaller environmental impact than most traditional western forms of animal protein; less known is how to raise insect production while maintaining these environmental benefits.”
“Studies overall show that insects could make valuable economic and nutritional contributions to the food or feed systems, but there are no clear regulations in place to bring insects into such supply systems without them turning into a more expensive version of poultry(家禽)for food,” says Dobermann.
The article highlights how insects have been a source of food for hundreds of years in more than 100 countries with over 2,000 species that can be eaten; in central Africa, up to 50% of dietary protein has come from insects, with their market value higher than many alternative sources of animal protein.
Insects need to be large enough to make the effort of catching them worthwhile and easy to locate, preferably in predictably large quantities. They are consumed at various life stages, as raw, fried, boiled, roasted or ground food.
12. Which of the following is the advantage of raising insects for food
A. It will offer people work opportunities. B. It is environmentally friendly.
C. It will replace traditional food. D. It will result in less leftovers
13. What can be inferred from Dobermann’s words
A. Raising insects for food has become popular.
B. Raising insects can’t solve food problems.
C. More should be done to raise insects for food.
D. More money can be made by raising insects.
14. What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 stand for
A. Insects. B. Regulations.
C. Feed systems. D. Supply systems.
15. Which is the possible title of this passage
A. How to Raise Insects B. Raising Insects for Money
C. Insects Seem No Longer Ugly D. A New Source of Food

Helpful Swimming Tips for Dogs
Introduce your dog to the water.
Slowly and patiently bring your dog closer to the water, kneel down next to your dog and play in the water with your hands. If your dog observes that you are not afraid of it, it will calm itself. Then slowly bring your dog to the stairs leading into the pool. Add a few fun pool toys or their favorite toys to the pool. 16
Use a life vest.
When your dog is just getting used to the water and learning how to swim, use a life vest. 17 Remember all dogs are not swimmers; some need to be taught. You can purchase a life vest specifically created for dogs at your local pet supply store, online, or wherever dog supplies are sold.
18
Dogs have a habit of tasting things all around them. 19 Pool water is full of chlorine(氯)and other chemicals that keep pool water clean and free of harmful bacteria. Although the water is safe to swim in, it’s not recommended for drinking. Watch your dog and stop them from drinking the pool water.
Allow your dog to swim.
Once your dog is accustomed to the water, allow it to swim for short 20-second intervals. First, lowly guide it into the pool by holding it gently. Then release your hands just a little bit and its natural instinct will make it start dog paddling. 20 Once your dog gets used to swimming, it will happily swim for longer intervals at a time.
A. Don’t let your dog drink pool water.
B. It will give them a sense of security.
C. Stop your dog from fearing the water.
D. But they don’t know what’s healthy for them and what’s not.
E. Play with your dog in the water for a while and they will like water.
F. It shows your dog that swimming is meant for fun and playtime.
G. Allow this to happen for twenty seconds and then return them on the pool steps.

I was invited to a cookout on an old friend’s farm in western Washington. I parked my car outside the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used in many years. A noise at a window caught my attention, so I entered it. It was a hummingbird ( 蜂鸟), desperately trying to escape. She was covered in spider-webs (蛛网) and was barely able to move her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.
With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in. The broken window glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside, closing the door securely behind me.
When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes. I removed the sticky spider-webs that covered her head and wings. Still, she made no attempt to fly, Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired Or too thirsty
As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move. I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away. Hovering ( 悬停), she approached within six inches of my face. For a very long moment, this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side. Then she flew quickly out of sight.
During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident. They promised to fix the window, As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering. She turned from person to person until she came to me. She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeaking call and was gone. For a moment, all were speechless. Then someone said, “She must have come to say good-bye.”
Paragraph1:A few weeks later, I went to the farm again._______________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

续写范文:
A few weeks later, I went to the farm again. This time I offered to send some hard wares to the farm, but inside, I still held the hope to see the bird again. The image of the tiny bird hovering in front of me would not fade in my mind. What became of her When I drove passed the milking house, I specially examined the mended window. Now the possibility of her entry and being trapped again was gone. I felt satisfied. Meeting my friends on the farm, our talk soon turned to the bird. They joked that, maybe the birds would come to see me again, which made my wish to see her even stronger. After a long talk, the bird was still unseen. In low spirits, I had to leave now.
I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared. I was so thrilled and proud that she really remembered me and came to meet me. All the people present wowed amazedly and fascinated by the bird’s reappearance. I believed she recognized me. She hovered in front of me and looked into my eyes. I thought I found the devotion and affection in her big eyes. I was even moved by the tiny creature. Like old friends meeting again, the emotion excited me and I enjoyed the relation between us. The bird flew away and took my heart with her around the fragrant nature. I found myself appreciating nature more.
