Bariloche is a city in the province called Rio Negro. This city brings me a lot of memories because I went there for my graduation trip from high school. We left in the first week of September. We were a group of 50 students and it was the best trip ever.
We visited different places such as Isla Victoria which you can reach by boat, sailing（航行）through the Nahuel Huapi Lake. This is a very calm place and worth visiting. We went as well to the Cerro Viejo which has a beautiful restaurant on the top from where you can enjoy seeing the whole city. We went skiing to Cerro Catedral four days out of ten and it was a great experience.
We visited the Llao Llao Hotel that is pretty different from other hotels. It is in the middle of a group of mountains and it seems as if we were watching a postcard. From there, we went to a farm where we did some horse riding, and we played some games which made us wet and dirty. Finally, some of us went fishing and the rest walked through the forest. We spent that night there camping and the next morning we went on a bus to Cerro Tronador, the highest mountain in the whole area. It is 3, 470 metres tall and there we visited forests and lakes. During our last day in Bariloche, we went shopping and they offered us all kinds of things. We bought things such as handmade clothes and shoes.

In modern society there is a lot of disagreementabout competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is good for socialprogress. Others say that competition is bad. It sets one person againstanother. And it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who believe thattheir self-worth depended on how well they did at tennis and other skills. Forthem, playing well and winning are often life-and death matters. In theirsingle-minded dream of success, the development of many other human qualities （品质）is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in thedesire （渴望）to succeed, others take a different attitude. In a culture whichvalues only the winners, they are strongly against competition. Among themost vocal are youngsters who are under competitive pressures（压力）from their parents or society. They are always told to be the topones, but they think it's really hard. When I teach these young people, I oftenfind them in a desire to fail. They seem to search for failure（失败）by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they alwayshave an excuse:" I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I reallydidn't try. If I had tried and lost, that would mean a lot."
Clearly, this belief is the same as that ofthe true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on themistaken belief. They think one's self-respect depends on how well one doescompared with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this fearbegins to dissolve（消除）can we discover a newmeaning in competition,

Have you ever bought something and then changed your mind For Alison Jenson, 15, this used to happen several times a week. Alison was a shopaholic. She just couldn't stop shopping and she loved special offers.
Alison's bedroom is full of stuff. "I've been to every shop in Birmingham, I think," says Alison. She picks up some earrings. The labels are still on them. "These were half-price," she says. "I've never worn them." Alison's problem wasn't just jewellery(首饰). She also bought a lot of clothes, and other small things —like 20 new covers for her phone. She hasn't used any of them.
According to experts, we all feel excited after we buy something new. For shopaholics, it's a little different. Soon after they buy something, they think they've made a mistake and start to feel unhappy. So they buy themselves something else to feel happier.
Psychologists(心理学家) have already described the problems of shopaholics. However, there was very little research on the subject until recently. Now, doctors think thousands of people suffer from the problem, and the situation is getting worse. There are also more teenage shopaholics now.
Alison knew she had a problem. "I often bought something every day. Usually it was something small, but I just needed to buy it," she says. "When I was short of cash, I borrowed money from friends or my parents. When I couldn't go shopping, I felt anxious. Then one day, my parents just looked at all the stuff in my room and said, ‘This is crazy!' I knew they were right. I needed some big changes in my life."
Alison now gets help with her problem and feels she has changed. She no longer thinks she's a shopaholic. "When I want to buy something in a shop, I ask myself two questions," she says. "Do I need it Can I afford it The answer to both questions is usually ‘no', so I walk away. It's great!"
24．What can we know about shopaholics
A．They feel sad when they are shopping.
B．They soon feel unhappy after they have bought something.
C．They feel more excited than other people when they shop.
D．Shopping is the only way they can feel happy.
25．The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 5 refers to "____".
A．psychologists B．doctors
C．Alison's parents D．Alison's friends
26．Which word can best describe Alison's feeling at the end of the passage
A．Glad. B．Worried. C．Sad. D．Sorry.
27．What's the best title for the passage
A．Shop Till You Drop! B．Shopping Makes Me Happy!
C．You'd Better Shop Less! D．I Can Stop Shopping Now!
