Camp memories last forever! We make sure they are unforgettable!

Sun Summer Camps offer so many exciting things for campers to do. Unlike other camp programs that include horses as a small part of their program, at Sun Camp, horses ARE the program! We are 100%horse from stable(马厩) management, nature walks, and track rides to bedroom furnishings.

Horses help us achieve many of our aims. Girls can learn to develop responsibility, self-confidence and personal connections in their lives while having fun. Using horses as a wonderful tool for education, our camps offer an interesting place for growth and learning.

Imagine each girl having her very own horse to spend time with and a best friend to love and take care of! Each camper is responsible for a horse for the week. Our riding program provides a lot of riding and lesson time. Campers will learn how to take care of the horse as well as how to ride. Days are filled with horse-related activities to strengthen the connection between each girl and horse, as the girls learn to work safely around the horses.

At Sun, we try to create a loving, caring family atmosphere for our campers. We have “The Bunkhouse”(4 girls), the” Wranglers Roost”(4 girls), and “The Hideout”(2 girls) in our comfortable 177-year-old farm house. All meals are home cooked, offering delicious and healthy food for the hungry rider.

Our excellent activities create personalized memories of your child’s vacation, Each child will receive a camp T-shirt and a photo album (usually300-500 pictures) of their stay at camp.

Our camps are offered during June, July and August 2008, for small groups of girls aged 13-16 years, not only from Canada but also other parts of the world.

Dogs are social animals, but without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark wildly, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to react in a normal way.

One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train (服从练习) it. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the most important. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.

Training is also an easy way to build the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to make yourself as of the dog by using extreme ways. You can teach your dog its subordinate (从属的) role by teaching it to follow your orders. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to happily accept that you are in charge.

Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.

45．Behavior problems of dogs are believed to __________.

A．worsen in modern society B．occur when they go wild

C．be just part of their nature D．present a danger to the society

46．Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _________.

A．an extreme measure in obedience training

B．a good way to teach the dog new tricks

C．an easy method for dogs to perform tasks

D．a basic way to solve the dog’s behavior problems

47．Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?

A．To show their willingness to obey

B．To avoid being punished.

C．To show their emotion for their masters.

D．To win leadership.

48．When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner __________.

A．will enjoy a better family life B．can give the dog more freedom

C．can give the dog more rewards D．will have more confidence in himself

The Government should raise taxes on air travel and high-polluting cars in order to help the environment, an important committee of MPs has said. It also said that the 70 mph speed limit on motorways should be reduced or enforced to bring down the amount of carbon dioxide given off by cars The House of Common Enviromental Audit committee’s latest report said that transport was the only sector（部门）of the UK where carbon emissions have continued to rise since 1990.

It said it was time for the Government to make demand for cheap air impossible by raising air passenger tax. Emissions from air traffic have risen by 5 times as much since 1900 and are continuing to rise.

The committee welcomed the recent introduction of changed car tax, which means that the lowest-carbon cars pay no road tax, while gas-guzzling（耗油的）4×4s pay an increased rate of ￡210. However, the MPs say it doesn’t go far enough and are calling for a top limit of ￡1,800 with lower limit of ￡200.

Committee chairman Tim Yeo said : “Air travel in particular is the fastest growing source of CO2, with emissions more than five times since 1900. The Government should take much more decisive action to reduce the difference of income favor of trains, buses, and lower carbon cars and lorries.”

Friends of the Earth’s senior organizer Tony Bosworth said: “Emissions from transport are still rising and forecasts suggest they will carry on rising for years to come.”

“Tinkering（随意或部分修补）around the edges is no longer enough to deal with the greatest threat the world faces.” A spokesman for the Department for Transport said: “Dealing with carbon emissions in transport is a key problem.”

C．sending out (gas or heat etc.) D．doing a lot of harm

My first performance in front of an audience was coming up soon.

I tried as hard as I could to remain calm, but my heart was racing. I looked down at my sweat-covered, shaking hands.

I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were real people. They were not just my mum and dad, who would say, “Good job!” even if I messed up the entire piece.

“What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes? ”

As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight was waiting for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.

Slowly I walked to the piano in the center of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played. Slowly, I opened the music. Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory keys.

As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my years of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece so many times that I could play it backwards if requested.

Although at one point I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically.

My eyes burned holes into the pages in front of me.

There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music.

When I came to the end of the page, a warning went off inside my head: DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!

Needless to say, I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind. And, proud of my “page-turning” feat, I finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake.

After the final note died away, a celebration went into action inside my head. I had finished. I had mastered the impossible.

57．The author was nervous before the performance because _______.

A．her mother and father weren’t present

B．the strong spotlight was shining onto the stage

C．she hadn’t mastered the entire piece

D．she had never performed in public before

58．The underlined phrase “mess up” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A．put into disorder B．forget about

C．stop halfway D．do well in

59．The author _________.

A．didn’t make any mistake in the performance

B．felt better at the beginning of the performance

C．paid all attention to nothing but her performance

D．lost her concentration sometimes during the performance

60． What did the author feel about her performance?

A．She thought it was comfortable and successful.

B．She thought it was very difficult but successful.

C．She thought she had never made a mistake during the performance.

D．She thought she played through the piece carefully but light-heartedly.
