Exploit your parking space
An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement（广告）for free on Let park or At my house park.
Rent（出租）a room
Spare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.
Make money during special events
Won’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money, Grashpadder can advertise your space.
Live on set
Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.
Use your roof
You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing
solar equipment(around￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.
(

A. ￡800
B. ￡500
C. ￡4500

Healthy Habits，Healthy Body
Feeling tired lately？Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you？Perhaps he sent you to a hospital，but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.
Then，consider this：you might be in a state of subhealth (亚健康)．
Subhealth，also called the third state or gray state，is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.
According to the investigation (调查) by the National Health Organization，over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middleaged or elderly.The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time.
Symptoms (征兆) include a lack of energy，depression (压抑)，slow reactions，insomnia (失眠)，agitation (焦虑)，and poor memory.Other symptoms include shortness of breath，sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth，according to some medical experts，is to form good living habits，alternate work and rest，exercise regularly，and take part in openair activities.
As for meals，people are advised to eat less salt and sugar.They should eat more fresh vegetables，fruit and fish because they are rich in nutritional (营养的) elements—vitamins and trace elements (微量元素)—that are important to the body.
Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract (消化道)．They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.

Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own，not because they have no one to travel with，but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life.“It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries，with no one to help you read a map，look after you if you get ill，or lend you money if your wallet is stolen，it is challenging.This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year.He set up a website，The Aussie Nomad，to document his adventures.He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier.“The people you meet，the places you visit，or the things you do，everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30yearold man.
Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”，which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”．He said，“The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task.” “I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said，“Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
1．Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A．Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B．It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C．It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D．Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
2．Traveling alone is challenging because________.
A．you have to make things on your own
B．it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C．you can only depend on yourself whatever happens

Mr Peter Johnson，aged twentythree，battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water.He took the only escape route—through the boot.
Mr Johnson’s car had ended up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin，Kent after he lost proper control on ice and hit a bank.“Fortunately，the water began to come in only slowly，” Mr Johnson said.“I couldn’t force the doors open because they were jammed against the wails of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”
Mr Johnson，a sweet salesman of Sitting Home，Kent，first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn (笛) and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
Later he said，“It was really a half penny that saved my life.It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot.I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear，but no help came.”
It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat，and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot.Then Mr Johnson found a wrench (扳手) and began to work on the boot
lock.Fifteen minutes passed by.“It was the only chance I had.Finally_it_gave，but as soon as I moved the boot lid，the water and mud poured in.I forced the lid down into the mud and climbed
up clear as the car filled up.”
His hands and arms cut and bruised，Mr Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby.Huddled in a
blanket，he said，“That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were
visible，police said last night.The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the
ditch.
1．Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr Johnson?

C．Mr Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat

Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam

A．at last the wrench went broken
B．the chance was lost at the last minute
C．the lock came open after all his efforts
D．luckily the door was torn away in the end

We’ll never forget the day which my classmates and I paid a visit to a chemistry factory last week. It was a larger one with nearly 2,000 workers. It looked a garden and we could see colorful flowers, grass and trees anywhere. We also visited some workshops and saw workers worked very hard. We talked with them and learned a lot. We understood them further. On the way home we felt tiring. So we all thought that we had a very good day. We really hoped that we can get more chances to leave the school and learn social experiences.
