3 . Social activities for the elderly are necessary because they help in bringing about considerable improvement in their overall well-being.    1    It may be difficult for them to take care of an entire garden, but a number of small potted indoor plants are just perfect for them.

    2    As elderly people cannot move freely, wheelchair dances have become increasingly popular. Gather a group of such people who have interest in dance. Hire one instructor who specializes in teaching this type of dance.

Besides, there are some creative activities for the elderly, for example, encouraging them to make a collage (拼贴画) using all their family photographs and mementos. All of us love to look at the old photographs.     3    They can also decorate the collages with small decorative items like leaves and construction paper.

And they can join a hobby class where all elderly people will learn music and art.    4    Make the necessary arrangements for that particular instrument so that he or she can play that instrument in their leisure time.

Social activities for the elderly in the form of entertainment have a therapeutic (治疗的) effect on their mind and body. Fishing, boating, playing golf, etc, are enjoyed by the elderly as they can be done with minimum physical movements.     5    And some sports equipment should be changed for the convenience of the elderly.

4 . Leisure is the prize, right? We work hard, so we want to play hard; we look forward to our time off, believing that the more leisure time we have, the better life will be.

However, research shows that both having and deciding how to spend leisure time can be very stressful. Some people feel enormous pressure to make the best use of their free time with the best choices. But this pressure to maximize our fun might impede the enjoyment of leisure itself.

Two-thousand years ago, concepts of work and leisure were associated with slavery(奴隶制)and freedom, respectively. In Ancient Greece, most of work was done by slaves, while wealthier parts of society pursued other activities. Leisure was an active state of mind. Good leisure meant playing sports, learning music theory, debating with qualified partners, doing philosophy, etc. Leisure was not easy, but it was supposed to be satisfying.

A shift occurred when the Romans started viewing leisure as a way of getting back energy in preparation for more work. By the 1800s, the kind of leisure that showed social class had shifted too; the wealthy led extremely free lives. A popular example is Walter Benjamin’s description of the fashion, around 1893, to walk through streets with a turtle (乌龟)on a chain.

Today we’re seeing yet another change: a lack of leisure time now operates as a powerful social class symbol. On Twitter, celebrities complain about having no life and being in desperate need of a vacation. In the workplace, being part of the long-hours working culture is still seen by many as an honour.

Some people really struggle to enjoy time off. People from America support the belief that leisure is wasteful. Only 14% of Americans take two weeks’ vacation in a row, a finding in keeping with the overwork culture. The same study reports that as of 2017, 54% of American workers didn’t use up their vacation time, leaving 662 million days reserved for leisure unused.

1. What does the underlined word “impede” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Increase.

B．Prevent.

C．Provide.

D．Include.

2. Which of the following was good leisure in Ancient Greece?

A．Eating tasty food.

B．Cleaning the house.

C．Having a good sleep.

D．Reading works of literature.

3. Why does the writer mention the popular example in paragraph 4?

A．To describe a fashion.

B．To criticize the wealthy.

C．To show a type of leisure.

D．To introduce Romans’ lives.

4. What can we infer from the figures in paragraph 6?

A．Many Americans work on their holidays.

B．Americans enjoy taking longer vacations.

C．American workers enjoy their lives and have fun.

D．Tourism in the United States is developing slowly.

8 . When we were kids, summer activities were a great escape. My only goal each day was to figure out the bigger thrill: hide-and-seek with my cousins, a ball game with my brother, or rereading detective stories for hours on end. Fun was the only endgame(最后阶段).

    1     That comes with its own benefits. We can stay up as late as we’d like, go sailing on the sea or gather a group and go exploring islands.     2     However long ago it was, your next awesome fun day or week is on the way. Joy is the name of the game this Summer!

The first step towards having more fun with summer activities is setting aside time for it.     3     For example, turn off work email on Friday afternoon and leave it aside until Monday morning; say no to time-wasting requests.

Then be a tourist in your own town. When you live somewhere long enough, it stops being an interesting destination and becomes just the surrounding area.     4     Is it known for its museums, rivers or food? Take some time to tour some famous attractions.

Your interests have probably changed as you have got older, but that doesn’t mean what you did as a kid isn’t exciting. So invoke(唤起) your inner child. Head to the park and play a game of basketball with your cousins or take your dog to the park for a game of Frisbee.     5    

Whatever you decide to do, make sure you enjoy yourself to the fullest because summer’s best days will be here and gone before you know it.

A．We are adults now or almost.

B．But that doesn’t mean it does no harm.

C．Treat your hometown like a new destination.

D．Carve out some quality time to do absolutely nothing.

E．Make weekends meaningful by setting good boundaries.

F．Borrow some baseball gloves and play catch with friends.

G．But when was the last time you actually did any of those things?

10 .        Many people who don’t normally visit museums may consider them boring and often wonder what the appeal(吸引力）is. Actually, people visit museums for a variety of reasons. .    1     And we thought it would be interesting to examine these reasons in an effort to change naysayers’(反对者的）minds.
