一、阅读理解

A

Asia is such a vast and diverse continent for anyone dreaming of an escape. Here

are some best destinations to visit over the next 12 months.

Xi’an,China

Xi’an,

China

is

supreme

and

then

there’s

the

biggie

(重要的事物

)-the

Army

of

Terracotta

Warriors,

celebrating

30

years

as

a

UNESCO

World

Heritage

Site

in

2017.

Xi’an

is

vast,

but

a

relaxed

way

of

living

and

recent

openings

have

boosted

an already superb accommodation market. A crop of new bars and cafes are thrown in

here. There’s never been a better time to visit.

South of Tokyo, Japan

Two cities in south of Tokyo are well worth visiting.

Yokohama is just a 20-mixinte train journey from the capital and packs

considerable

appeal

with

its

bayside

location,

architecture,

beer

and

tasty

cuisine.

Less

than

an

hour

from

Tokyo,

fantastic

seaside

town

Kamakura

?s

known

for

its

surfing scene, but also offers an attractive selection of relaxed cafes and

restaurants.

Sri Lanka’s Hill Country

Sri

Lanka

may

be

“so

hot

right

now”,

but

Lonely

Planet

recommends

a

different

experience.

Try getting ahead of (and away from) the pack by taking a scenic train to

Sri

Lanka’s

Hill

Country

for

a

wonderfully

temperate

escape

from

the

nation’s

humid

coasts.

This island owns a mountainous interior that is every bit as scenic as the

coast, blessed by pleasantly cool temperatures that rarely above 21℃.

Raja Ampat,Indonesia

“Raja” means “king” and this grand title is apparent. Packed with white

-sand

beaches, lush jungle and unusual mushroom-shaped small islands. Raja Ampat is a

biological hotspot.

Home to some of the richest, most diverse coral reefs on the planet

—

over

200 diving spots are still in a state of nature

—

and this, paired with a growing

ecotourism (

生态旅游

) offering, means Raja Ampat will no doubt remain king of the

islands.

One Friday morning, before Michael was leaving for work he told his wife that lie

had finally determined to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Michael felt

nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown. What if Mr. Duncan

refused to grant his request? Michael

had worked so hard in the last 18 months and brought some great benefits to Braer

and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.

The

thought

of

walking

into

Mr

Duncan's

office

left

Michael

weak

in

the

knees.

Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior.

To his delight and surprise,the ever- frugal(

一惯节省的

)Rowland Duncan agreed to

give Michael a raise!

Michael arrived home that evening-despite breaking ail city and state

limits-to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife,

Cassie, had prepared a delicate meal including his favourite dishes. Immediately

he thought someone from the office had tipped her off!

Next to his plate Michael found a beautiful lettered note. It was from Isis

wife.

It

read:

my

love!

I

knew

you'd

get

the

raise!

I

prepared

this

dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments

read it and stopped to think about how sensitive and caring Cassie was.

After dinner,Michael was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when .he

observed that a second card had slipped out of Cassie's pocket onto the floor .He

bent forward to pick, it up. It read:

do

deserve

one!

You

are

a

wonderful

provider,and

I

prepared

this

dinner

to

show

you

just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.”

Suddenly tears swelled in Michael's eyes. Total acceptance! Cassie's support

for him was not conditional upon his success at work.

The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or

rejection when we know someone Loves us regardless of our success or failure.

was Michael's plan that Friday?

find a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.

ask for a wage increase from his boss.

Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are

many reasons for this, but the result is the same: increasing numbers of children

without

grandparents

and

old

people

who

have

no

contact

with

children.

And

more

old

people who are lonely and feel use- less, along with more and more families with

young childre

n who desperately need more support. It’s a major problem in many

societies.

That’s

why

intergenerational

programmes,

designed

to

bring

the

old

and

the

young together, are growing in popularity all over the world, supported by UNESCO

and other local and international organisations. There are examples of successful

initiatives

all

over

the

world.

Using

young

people

to

teach

IT

skills

to

older

people

is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is

another, perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.

One successful scheme in France is combining a residential home for the

elderly with a creche/nursery school in the same building. The children and the

residents

eat

lunch

together

and

share

activities

such

as

music,

painting,

gardening

and

caring

for

the

pets

which

the

residents

are

encouraged

to

keep.

In

the

afternoons,

the residents enjoy reading or telling stones to the children and, if a child is

feeling

sad

or

tired,

there

is

always

a

kind

lap

to

sit

on

and

a

cuddle

(

依偎

).

There

are trips out and birthday parties too.

The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy

because they get a lot more individual attention and respond well because someone

has

lime,

for

them.

They

also

learn

that

old

people

are

not

different

or

frightening

in

any

way.

And

of

course,

they

see

illness

and

death

and

learn

to

accept

them.

The

residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and

more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest

in their appearance too. And the staff are happy because they see an improvement

in the physical and psychological health of the residents and have an army of

assistants to help with the children.

The Lifecycle of a T-shirt

We

all

probably

have

a

lot

of

T-shirts,

but

do

you

ever

stop

and

think

about

the

influence

of

a

T-

shirt

on

the

planet?

You’d

probably

be

surprised

to

learn

what's

involved in the lifecycle of just one T-shirt.

There are 5 major stages: material, production, shipping, use and disposal

The material stage

involves

farming,

irrigating,

fertilizing,

harvesting

and

ginning.

While

cotton

is

a natural fiber (

纤维

)and not as harmful to the environment as manmade fibers, it

still

takes

a

toll

in

the

material

and

production

stages.

Commercial

cotton

farming

uses

a

large

amount

of

water,

and

the

use

of

pesticides

(

杀虫剂

)is

widespread

across

the

globe,

especially

in

cotton

farming.

Studies

have

shown

that

farmers

spend

around

$$4.1 billion on pesticides annually, of which 25% was spent on cotton crops in the

US.

Once the cotton is grown and harvested, so begins the production stage:

spinning, knitting, bleaching, dyeing, cutting, sewing, etc.

——

these processes

also

use

a

great

deal

of

water

and

energy.

Commercial

dyes

and

bleaches

are

harmful

pollutants and can eventually pollute groundwater.

After

the

T-shirt

is

produced,

it

enters

the

transportation

stage.

This

often

involves overseas shipping. Take a look in your closet. Chances are that most of

your cotton

garments

(

衣服

)are

made

in China or

India.

Garments

can be shipped

via

plane,

ship

or

truck?,all

of

which

spill

CO

2

into

the

atmosphere.

Calculations

show

that CO

2

emissions from light trucks alone amount to 1.15 pounds per mile.

Once the T-shirt reaches the retail market, it is purchased. This stage may seem

like the least

environmentally damaging part. But consider the number of times you5ve washed and

dried

your

favorite

T-shirt.

Washing

machines

are

certainly

becoming

more

efficient.

However, the average American household does 400 loads of laundry per year, using

about 40 gallons of water per load. Such excessive water use is combined with the

large amount of energy used by dryers.

The final stage of life is disposal. This releases harmful emissions, or

involves

a

landfill

where

cotton

takes

years

to

break

down.

Current

US

records

show

that

an

estimated

15%

of

clothes

and

shoes

are

recycled,

which

means

that

consumers

send a shocking 85% of these materials to landfills.

We all need new clothes every once in a while, but let’s all try to keep

in mind what goes into the production of clothing... It has a real impact on the

planet.

There are a lot of things you can do to help reduce your impact. Reuse and

recycle

clothes.

If

they're

too

worn

out

to

wear,

cut

them

up

and

use

them

as

cleaning

rags. Donate them to charity or another organization that recycles textiles. When

possible, make an effort to buy organic cotton. Turn down the thermostat on your

washer, and line dry your clothes when the weather will allow it.

.The underlined phrase “takes a toll” probably means “_______ ”

can learn from the passage that in the US,_______ .

ides in cotton farming cost over 4 billion dollars every year

2

emissions of land transport amount to 1.15 pounds per mile

15% of the clothes and shoes are made of materials that are recycled

16, 000 gallons of water is used annually by an average family on laundry

can be inferred from this passage?

production process may affect water safety.

clothing cost is relatively low in China and India.

clothes are buried because they are hard to break down.

use stage is the least environmentally harmful of the five stages.

is the purpose of this article?

encourage people to donate clothes to charity.

promote eco-friendly actions related to clothes.

persuade people to purchase more organic cotton.
