Sports 2: Gym We will be using St. Peter’s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First. it is not very busy .and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has a lot of trees with plenty of shade. Students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Three activities, skipping, jogging, outdoor aerobics (有氧运动), all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on duty for each of the a ctivities. Sports 3: Hiking. Hiking (远足)will take place at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes later. Three teachers will accompany the students, and a hiking instructor will accompany each group of 15 hikers. Each instructor will cost $ 75/hr. Sports 4: Swimming The Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will go to the pool and conduct the goings-on from the poolside. We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour (i.e. 2:45pm to 3:45pm). Only students skilful at swimming can take up this activity. The pool will have two lifeguards present. Girls must wear a swimming suit. The cost is $10 per visit. 53. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Students selecting basketball had better register early. B.

My children and I spent hours at the pet store, picking out colored rocks, plants and six perfect fish. Back home, I set the fish loose in the newly cleaned and filled tank. We all spent the evening watching in wonder as they explored their new home. The kids were happy; I was thrilled. The next morning my husband, who had got up to make coffee, rushed back into the bedroom and shook me awake. He told me that the water had gone from the tank. I sprang out of bed and ran down the hall to the living room. I gasped (喘气) when I saw my beautiful waterless tank and the lifeless bodies of my fish lying on the rocks. The kids were gathered around the tank, crying and pointing fingers at each other. I felt the carpet and di scovered it was dry. How could 30 gallons (加仑) of water disappear and leave the carpet dry? I anxiously searched for the reason the water had escaped and where it had escaped to. but came up with nothing. I called all the pet stores. searching for an answer. Maybe the cats had drunk all the water. Maybe the water had evaporated (蒸发). It beat me; it beat everybody. I gave up and went out to the backyard to have a private pity party and stepped right into a pool of water. It didn’t take long to discover the source. When I’d unh ooked (取下) the a irline (通风管路) the night before, I’d thrown one end of the tube over the back of the tank. It had dearly fed the water out of the tank and into the yard. Just at that moment I heard a scream of amazement from in side the house. It was my daughter: “Mommy, Mommy! They’re alive! The fish are alive! it’s a miracle!” I ran back to find them refilling the tank. We all watched in amazement as each fish began to wriggle (扭动) and shake and spring back to life. By the time the tank was half full, all six of the fish were swimming happily around. They were indeed miracle fish! 57. What does the phrase “pointing fingers at each other” in the article mean? A.
