Beaches are great places for fun and relaxation of the travel world. These slivers of sand against the ocean make you realize that “real life” occasionally needs escaping. If you are beach lovers, the following ones are worth your visit.
Playa Paraiso
One of the wonderful beaches in the world is Playa Paraiso in Cuba’s finest beach island Cayo Largo. The weather is usually calm and the sea here remains shallow most of the year. Most people go to Playa Paraiso to enjoy calm water to swim or simply relax on the beach.
Nungwi
Nungwi is considered to be the most beautiful beach of Zanzibar. The island has long been loved by adventurous travelers for its mysterious old Stone Town and about 30 untouched beaches. The blue waters and coral (珊瑚) around Nungwi are home to many marine creatures.
Maya Bay
Maya Bay is a white sand beach hugged by steep cliffs. Coral reefs make it an excellent spot for snorkeling (浮潜). This strikingly beautiful beach has got more attention after featuring in the Leonardo DiCaprio film The Beach, but it’s still worth visiting for the dramatic setting and snorkeling opportunities.
Sun Island
Recognized as the world’s best beach, Sun Island is located on a beach lover’s paradise, Maldives. This diamond in the middle of the Indian Ocean has become a favorite with ocean lovers drawn by the thought of sleeping over the water. Nearby coral reefs attract thousands of tropical fish, snorkelers and divers. But you don’t even need to snorkel to enjoy the scenery — parts of the reef are visible from the beach, so clear is the water.
21．If you are fond of untouched beaches, which one will you choose to travel

Color may influence the way food tastes for picky (挑剔的) eaters, according to a new study published in the journal Food Quality and Preference.
Stafford’s research team did an experiment with about 50 participants, who were mostly young adults around 20 years old. The study divided the individuals into picky and non-picky eaters, based on their responses to a certain measure. Both groups then tasted the same snacks served in red, white and blue bowls.
The results showed the color of the bowls influenced how the picky group perceived (感知) the saltiness and desirability of the foods — but did not influence the non-picky group. The picky group thought that the snack served in the red bowl was least desirable and the snack was higher in saltiness in the red and blue bowl — compared with the white bowl.
“Picky eating usually starts in childhood,” Dr. Lama Bazzi said. She explained that if picky eating is not solved properly as a child, it can be developed later into certain eating disorders.
All of this is because of a sense of control and a sense of safety. So when talking about the colors of the bowls in the research study, it probably has to do with what makes that person feel safe, such as what colors are connected with safety. The colors blue, green and purple are considered “safer” colors, while the color red is usually connected with “stop”.
Supermarkets use similar psychology (心理学) to catch people’s attention. Children’s cups are colorfully designed to entice kids, giving them a sense of safety and making it fun for them to drink something. When advertisers want customers to buy chips or food, the packaging (包装) tends to use warm and inviting colors that remind people of their childhood.
Stafford noted that the research is primary, yet the data may help picky eaters to eat various food.
28．What do we know about the experiment
A. The participants were all young adults.
B. Different snacks were served in different colors of bowls.
C. Color of the bowls didn’t influence the non-picky group.
D. The picky group thought the snacks in the white bowl saltier.
29．What color might help lose weight according to the text
A. Blue. B. Red. C. Green. D. Purple.
30．What does the underlined word “entice” in Paragraph 6 mean
A. Attract. B. Force. C. Admit. D. Warn.
31．Why do advertisers use warm and inviting colors for packaging
A. To remind people of their childhood.
B. To give people a sense of safety.
C. To solve people’s eating disorders.
D. To attract people to buy goods.
D
Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.
An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (调查) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.
However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.
In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago Many studies show that older parents — today’s grandparents — would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.
Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.
Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyondthe role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.
32．The surveys inform us of ______.
A. the development of technology
B. the changes of adult children’s behavior
C. the parents’ over-protection of their college children
D. the means and expenses of students’ communication
33．The writer believes that ______.
A. parents today are more protective than those in the past
B. the disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages
C. technology explains greater parental involvement with their children
D. parents’ changed attitudes lead to college children’s delayed independence
34．What is the best title for the passage
A. Technology or Attitude
B. Dependence or Independence
C. Family Influence or Social Changes
D. College Management or Communication Advancement
35．Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage
I:Introduction
P:Point
Sp:Sub-point
C:Conclusion
A. B.
C. D.
