It’s very every traveler’s dream---a corner of the planet still undisturbed by tourists. And obviously, such places do exist. The United Nations World Tourism Organization lately reported the four least-visited countries globally.
Montserrat(9,000)
Once a popular holiday spot, this Lesser Antilles island has never quite recovered from a series of natural disasters. Hurricanes Hugo in 1989 hit 90 per cent of the island and in 1995 the Soufriere Hills volcano erupted.
These days, its volcano is now actually one of Montserrat’s main attractions, along with its beautiful beaches. Visitors can also go diving in its clear waters.
Comoros(24,000)
This collection of islands in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar serves as the perfect destination for those who want to get away from everyday city life.
Comoros offers beautiful volcanic scenery, fruitful forest, and remote sleepy towns. There are even some of the best undiscovered reefs(礁)just waiting to be explored by divers.
Liechtenstein(69,000)
The sixth smallest country in the world is also one of the most undiscovered.
Lying between Austria and Switzerland, Liechtenstein is an outdoor enthusiast’s playground. It’s the only country in the world to be totally in the Alps and a summer destination for hiking and cycling and snow-covered skiing perfection in winter, for those who can afford it.
French Guiana(199,000)
French Guiana is the least-visited country in South America, with some of the world’s most diverse plant and animal life.
While there is much to attract tourists to the area, not least its miles of jungle, the infrastructure(基础设施)is in need of some attention.
What do Montserrat and Comoros have in common
They have thick forests. B. They are destinations for diverse.
C They have recovered from natural disasters.
The were badly destroyed by volcanic eruptions.
Which country is the best choice for snow skiing lovers
Montserrat. B. Comoros. C. Liechtenstein. D. French Guiana.

C. It is the least-visited country in the world.
D. Its most popular attraction is large areas of jungle.

Jack Potter was in the Royal Engineering at the time. When the dance ended, he couldn’t wait to get back home and write, “It was a very nice evening. I danced with a very nice girl. I hope to meet her again.”

Members of a high school class of 1943 finally got the party they should have had 70 years ago. Their senior celebration was stopped by World War Ⅱ.
Anthony Pegnataro, the 1943 class president of James Hillhouse High School, remembers the attack on Pearl Harbor like it was yesterday. On December 7, 1941, Pegnataro said, he and his friends were skating when they heard over the radio that America had entered a state of war.
Going to war meant no party any more. Pegnataro’s carefree high school life suddenly came to an end.
“Most of us went right into the service after graduation,” Pegnataro said. “We graduated in June and were in the army in July.”
Of the 1,585 students at James Hillhouse High School, less than 300 are still alive today and many of them never made it back from war.
Pegnataro, who is now 87, decided that along with their 70-year class reunion ﹙重聚﹚, they would also hold that party they never got to have. About 70 people from around the country came to dance on Sunday.
“It was excellent. Everyone there just had a great time,” pegnataro said. “Those that came guessed it might be their last one.”
Pegnataro said he was on cloud nine to bring his wife of 53 years back to the party, and he introduced her to each of his classmates. “Everyone was very excited at the party. Though we had been separated for so many years, the war brought my class closer together,” he said.
“We missed out on the party that we should have had. And the 70th reunion was a very important event in our lives,” Pegnataro said. “We all made it.”
28. When Pearl Harbor was attacked, Pegnataro _____.
A. went into the army at once B. was skating with his parents
C. was having a Christmas party D. was still a high school student
29. The underlined part “he was on cloud nine” meant Pegnataro _____ .
A. was on a plane B. felt very happy
C. was not comfortable D. came at nine o’clock
30. In Pegnataro’s opinion, the war _____.
A. had its own two sides B. made him lose everything
C. had little influence on his school D. lasted longer than he had expected
31. What would be the best title for the text
A. Pegnataro—a man of knowledge B. James Hillhouse High School
C. An unusual party D. War and peace
D
When I was growing up, I was interested in science and math and computers. I loved finding out how things worked.
At fifteen, I bought myself a computer and took it apart．Those were the days when you could take the top off and, with the help of books, know what each of the parts did. Playing with that computer taught me that you learn almost everything by doing.
My early curiosity about computers helped lead me to the job I have today, which I love. So whenever I see kids becoming passionate(热烈的) about an interest, I try to encourage them.
It’s good to be curious. I also think it’s good to be curious. I also think it’s good to try new ways of doing things.
At one of my first jobs, I learned this lesson through experience. I was sixteen, and I got a job with the Houston Post, selling newspapers over the telephone. My co-workers and I would call people and say, “Hey, would you like to buy the Houston Post ”
During my first few weeks, I learned that most people who wanted to buy the newspaper were either moving or getting married. So I thought, “Well, how can I get the names of all these people who are moving or getting married ”
I did some research and found out that a lot of that information is legally available to anyone. Once I learned how to get those names and addresses, I sent out offers to buy the newspaper. My experiment was a success! Within my first month on the job, I became the top salesperson.
It was simply a matter of finding an opportunity and trying a new way of doing something.
Kids have fresh approaches to things, and they often come up with great new ideas. When you pursue﹙追求﹚your interests and follow your dreams, a lot can happen. You can do big things, and you shouldn’t be discouraged by people who tell you otherwise.
The author took the computer apart to .
A. repair it B. do an experiment
C. satisfy his curiosity D. test his knowledge of computers
33. The author’s experience of selling newspapers shows the importance of ____ .
A. patience B. creativity C. hard work D. a clear aim
34. According to the last paragraph, the author thinks that kids .
A. are born to win B. should dream big
C. often have fresh ideas D. can be easily discouraged
35. The author’s purpose in writing the text is to .
A. encourage the reader B. entertain the reader
C. instruct the reader D. inform the reader

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Life-changing habits
Turn off your phone before bed.
Forcing yourself to bed earlier is a tall order, but you can at least aim for the most restful sleep when you finally do turn in for the night 36 Quit trying to pay attention to more emails or get a new high score, and make some progress in your reading list instead.
Eat more fruits and vegetables.
Looking to eat healthier 37 For a long-term solution, make a point of adding fresh produce to your plate, rather than avoiding certain foods. You’ll naturally eat fewer unhealthy foods not because there will be less room on your plate, but because you will be filling it up with satisfying fruits and vegetables. 38
Make a point of looking for the beauty in the world, and you could improve your general happiness. Try to record the details of your life. Start a diary to keep track of the beautiful things in your own life. 39
Listen more, talk less.
During conversations, do you spend all your “listening” time thinking about how to respond to the speaker 40 It includes learning what the other person really wants to get across. When it’s clear you truly care about what the other person is saying, you’ll make your relationships better.
Ask follow-up questions.
Look for the beauty in life.
Start practicing active listening.
Look for solutions instead of problems.
You’ve probably found that diets simply don’t work.
You might be surprised by how much there is to be grateful for.
Games on your phone could be keeping you from getting your best night’s sleep.

作文
Students should have good manners, but unfortunately, some students don’t behave well enough. For example, cell phones are not allowed to be used in class but some students still use them. Though it’s rude to spit in public, some students still do it. Queue jumpers can be seen in the school dining hall. Sometimes, you can hear loud noises in the school library, which disturb those who are reading or studying.
It’s time for us to take measures to stop these bad behaviors. Education, in my opinion, is a necessary way to solve this problem. Besides, those who break the school rules should be punished.
