The American travel website company Trip Advisor publishes a list of the world’s best beaches every year. Today, we are going to explore some of this year’s top 10 beaches in the world.
1.Baia do Sancho, Brazil
It is named as this year’s best beach in the world. Its water is calm and clear. Its sand is fine and soft. But getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy. It is on Fernando de Noronha, a volcanic island more than 300 kilometers off Brazil’s coast. Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there. And no more than 420 visitors can be on the island at one time.
2.Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos
While Baia do Sancho is difficult to get to, Trip Advisor’s second-ranked beach could not be much easier for tourists to reach.This beach has impossibly clean and clear waters and pure white sand. Its calm waters make it extremely safe for swimming, snorkeling(潜水), or simply floating. Once on land, many visitors enjoy walking-barefoot-for several kilometers on the soft, warm sand.
3.Eagle Beach, Aruba
To get to the third-best beach, we head south to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba. Like Grace Bay, Eagle Reach has clear, calm waters and soft white sand.It offers visitors a chance to try different water sports, Including tubing and jet skiing. Eagle Beach may be best known, however, for its dramatic sunsets. On clear nights, the sky tums red, orange, and purple.
4.Playa Paraiso, Cuba
The fourth-best beach is Playa Paraiso, an island off of Cuba’s southern coast. It has a fun, laid-back restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink. There is little else on the beach. And that is exactly what visitors like about it. People come here for the sugar-like sand and calm waters filled with colorful wildlife.
21. Which of the following best describes Baia do Sancho?
A. It receives thousands of visitors each time.
B. It is near the Brazil’s coast.
C. It can only be visited by plane.
D. It is hard to reach.
22. What may Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos attract tourists?
A. Its clean and safe waters. B. Its quiet bank for hiking.
C. Its dangerous position. D. Its colourful sand.
23. What can visitors mainly find on Playa Paraiso, Cuba?
A. Colourful waters. B.A fun eating place.
C. Different water sports. D. Nothing on the beach.
B
When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.
Helene and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn’t have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny’s mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”
Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans’ corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.
Helene tied several chopsticks together to show _____. A.the strength of family unity B.the difficulty of growing up C.the advantage of chopsticks D.the best way of giving a lesson
We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An family _____. A.started a business in 1975 B.left Vietnam without much money C.bought a restaurant in San Francisco D.opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles
What can we infer about the An daughters? A.They did not finish their college education. B.They could not bear to work in the family business. C.They were influenced by what Helene taught them. D.They were troubled by disagreement among family members.
Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A.How to Run a Corporation B.Strength Comes from Peace C.How to Achieve a Big Dream D.Family Unity Builds Success
C
Not every parent looks at education in the same light. Some prefer the public school approach, while other parents would rather take their child`s learning experience into their own hands at home.
Reports state there has been a 75 percent increase in homeschooling in the US since 1999. Over two million American children are homeschooled now. Parents can tailor（定做) their children' s classes, environment and schedule in order to fit the needs of the family, which is very convenient.
There is a dark side to this educational freedom, though. Homeschooling is completely legal, but in most states parents are only required to sign a paper expressing their intention to homeschool their child. It is only when there is doubt of misconduct or mistreatment that officials will look more into the authenticity(可靠性) of the level of education and care of the child within the home.
Blindly trusting parents to give their kids a proper learning experience at home without any outside intervention (干预) is putting children at risk for losing out on a basic standard education. There is no confirmed statistic that shows homeschooled children do any better in study than those in public and private schools. A study in 2013, in fact, showed homeschoolers can be at a disadvantage and pointed out a serious educational gap.
Homeschooling can also create more opportunities for mistreatment in households that struggle with home violence. One frightening case in particular involved 10-year-old Raashanai Jones, who was found dead in her home, where her mother was supposed to be providing a safe haven and a basic education for her. Raashanai was 55 pounds, and neighbors didn't even know she existed because they had never seen her outside.
Many times when there is a problem with a child, whether it being mental, physical or educational, teachers and peers are the first to take notice. Taking this opportunity away from the child without giving back is a huge harm to the child and the community at large.
28. According to Paragraph 2, some parents prefer home-schooling because
A homeschooling can save much money
B. they can control their children's education
C. they want their children to stay in a sater place
D. they want their children to help them with housework
29. What can be inferred about homeschooling in Paragraph 3?
A. It should be made illegal in the US.
B. It has more disadvantages than advantages.
C. It has no authenticity of the level of education.
D. It's easy for parents to get the permission for that.
30. Why does the author give the example of 10-year-old Raashanai Jones?
A. To show her mother is cruel.
B. To show children should go outdoors.?
C. To show homeschooling may not be safe for kids.
D. To show home violence is dangerous.?
31. What's most probably the author's attitude towards homeschooling?
A. Supportive.
B. Concerned.
C. Scared.
D. Uninterested.
D
You’re sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns(打哈欠). Suddenly, you’re yawning with him, though you’re not tired.
This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious(有感染力的) yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.
Hugo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critechley, our mind and body are in constant exchange about how we’re feeling. “Emotions are closely linked with states of internal(内部的) responses,” he explained. “ There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial expression. When we’re in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there’s the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure.
Hugo Critchley further explained, “Our bodies synchronies and when we like the other person, we ever copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you’re sitting— it’s pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe it’s our way of telling each other that we’re partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle(微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions.”
So, what lessons can we learn from this? “ Spend time with happy people— otherwise your health could suffer,” said Critchley. “When we’re sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we’re happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us.”
32. According to Hugo Critchley, ________.
A. emotions are as visible as facial expressions
B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold
C. emotions are connected with states of internal responses
D. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions.
33. The underlined word “synchronies” in Paragraph 4 means “_____”.
A. move slowly B. change rapidly
C. relax temporarily D. respond accordingly
34. From the passage we can learn ________.
A. sadness is as contagious as happiness
B. anger is less contagious than friendliness
C. surprise is more contagious than smile
D. surprise is the most contagious among emotions
35. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans.
B. Children like copying the actions of fellow humans.
C. Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.
D. People tend to communicate more with body language.

The Key to Success
When I was 27 years old, I left a very demanding job in management consulting for a job that was even more demanding: teaching. 36 And like any teacher, I made quizzes and tests. I gave out homework assignments. When the work came back, I calculated grades.
37 Some of my strongest performers did not have equally good IQ scores. Some of my smartest kids weren't doing so well.
And that got me thinking. The kinds of things you need to learn in seventh-graders' math are hard. 38 I was firmly convinced that every one of my students could learn the material if they worked hard and long enough.
After several more years of teaching, I came to the conclusion that what we need in education is a much better understanding of students and learning from a motivational(动机的)perspective, from a psychological perspective.
So I left the classroom, and I went to graduate school(研究生院)to become a psychologist. I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of super challenging settings, and in every study my question was, who is successful here and why? My research team and I went to the United States Military Academy. 39 We went to the National Spelling Bee and tried to predict which children would advance farthest in the competition. In all those very different contexts, one characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success. 40 It was grit(毅力).
It was IQ as well as EQ.
It wasn't social intelligence or IQ.
But those things are not impossible to learn.
Some of my best students really have high IQ.
I went to teach seventh-graders' math in a New York City public school.
What struck me was that IQ was not the only difference among students.
We tried to predict which participants would stay in military training and which would drop out.
