The Five Best Countries to Move to for Retirement
Retiring in a different country is gaining popularity. Below are five of the best countries
to seek retirement.
Costa Rica
Mild climate, breathtaking landscapes and beaches draw retirees to Costa Rica. The
country readily welcomes immigrants and offers a simple residency process. With a monthly
income of at least $ 1,000 per month from Social Security or a similar source, people enjoy a
high standard of living at a much lower cost than the U. S.
Malaysia
Retirees who choose to make Malaysia home will appreciate its rich culture and attractive
scenery. Moreover, the country offers modern facilities at modest prices. Immigrants enjoy
convenience and comfort in their daily life. You will find low-cost rental units, delicious street
food, and various shopping malls.
Mexico
Because it’s close to the U. S., Mexico draws more than a million American retirees to its
borders. Increasing immigrant communities enjoy seaside living and conversations with
friendly English speaking locals. Plus, legal residents over the age of 60 receive airline,
grocery, and restaurant discounts.
Panama
Gentle ocean wind takes the heat out of hot year-round temperatures, which has been the
chief attraction to foreign retirees. Beautiful beaches and a booming economy also attract
retirees to Panama. An income of $ 2,000 per month covers modest living costs. Furthermore,

as possible.”

“Life is about daring to carry out your ideas,” said Italian mountaineer Reinhold Messner.
One of the best-known living mountaineers, now 74, Messner became the first person to
climb Mount Qomolangma alone and without the help of bottled oxygen (氧气) in 1980.
He also became, in 1986, the first to reach the world’s 14 mountain tops of over 8,000
meters, again without bottled oxygen.
Along the way, he has practiced a special style of mountaineering known as alpinism, in
which climbers try to reach the top with as little material (材料) and outside help as possible.
But it is an art that is increasingly getting lost — today’s climbers depend on Sherpas
(local guides for climbers in the Himalayas) and ready-made routes to reach the top, Messner
said.
“The true alpinist doesn’t want such help. He wants to go into the wild,” he said.
His achievements have made him a great hero, but Messner says he has gotten into plenty
of dangerous situations along the way，too.
“Around half of the top alpinists have died climbing,” he said.
“Of course, if I turn back more often than the others, I can increase my chances of
survival,” he added. “But if I hadn’t been lucky a few times, I wouldn’t be here.”
Messner later moved on to different challenges (挑战), crossing the Gobi Desert and
Antarctica.
He is also a writer and was in Frankfurt to present his latest book, Wild, telling the true
story of a 1916 Antarctic expedition (探险).
Today, Messner spends his time making films and talks excitedly about his present one,
which is set in Kenya, Africa, and tells the story of two climbers who run into trouble and are
faced with life-changing situations.
After a lifetime of following his next dream, he believes film-making will be his final
project.
“I was always at my best when I was learning, when I was curious (求知的),” he said.
28. What is special about true alpinists
A. They can reach the top quickly. B. They try to depend on themselves.
C. They follow ready-made routes. D. They often work with local guides.
5
29. What helped Messner survive dangerous situations
A. Good luck. B. Belief. C. Good skills. D. Courage.
30. What does Messner tell us about the story of his new film
A. It is very interesting. B. It happens in Africa.
C. It is based on his latest book. D. It records his true experiences.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. A new film. B. A new book. C. A great alpinist. D. A great expedition.
D
Humans have favoured red apples for generations, but rising temperatures could mean the
end of a rosy red apple.
The ancestors(祖先) of the modern apple were wild trees growing in what is now
Kazakhstan. Today, wild apple trees still grow there, perfuming the air with fallen fruit and
feeding the bears that move slowly through the forest, although the wild apples' numbers have
become smaller by 90% in the last 50 years due to human development and their future is
uncertain.
Apple colour arises from the expression level of certain genes in the skin, scientists have
found. Interestingly, colour also depends on temperature. To get an apple that's fully red,
temperatures must stay cool, David Change, an expert at Plant and Food Research in New
Zealand, explains. As temperatures warm, he suggests, it could become more difficult for
apples to turn red.
Colour probably didn't win other features of an apple when growers were evaluating a new
tree, however. Instead, they focused on the taste and use for the apple: some are good for cider,
some for pies, some for sauce, and some for eating. It didn't much matter exactly what the fruit
looked like and whether it looked the same from tree to tree, because farmers were growing
fruit for themselves and for their local market, and function mattered more than looks.
Bunker says that all changed about a hundred years ago. The redder apples might not be
better than the yellower ones—in fact they might be worse---but, "red sells; that's the
problem”.
"It happens to every single apple on the market," says Bedford. "That's just the nature of our
desire to have apples the way we want them to look...ever since man has been making choices
they've been making them redder and redder. "
32.What's the main idea of the passage
A.Humans have been preferring red apples.
B. Rising temperatures make apples no longer red.
6
C.The ancestors of modern apple still exist.
D.Growers pay less attention to change the colour of apples.
33. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Scientists have found ways to change the colour of apples.
B. Apples will become red in winter because of the low temperature.
C. Apple colour is greatly influenced by temperature.
D. The higher the temperature is , the redder apples will be.
34.Which of the following statements will NOT win the favor of growers
A. The colour of the apple. B.The taste of the apple.
C.The use of the apple. D.The function of the apple.
35.What does Bedford's words mean
A. Every single apple on the market looks nice.
B. We humans desire to change the appearance of apples.
C. Humans have been choosing various apples.
D. Humans in fact prefer the apples which look redder.

a sport will learn how to deal with stress. This is because even though they work hardly to
master the skills needed for a sport, but it does not mean they will always win. Sports also help
children see that foolish cheating is. In sports, it is no use pretending to fall down or being hurt,
