A

What a(n) ________ to a dream vacation!

It was 10:30 p.m. by the time Jason opened his hotel room door. He was finally in Hawaii! His hotel was right on the

beach on the beautiful island of Kauai. He’d read about the “Garden Isle”. He couldn’t wait to see its green mountains,

white sand beaches and tropical forests. He dropped his bag near the bed and set his wallet and cell phone on the desk. He

could hear the sound of the waves right outside. He opened the sliding glass door and stepped out onto the balcony(

阳台

). He

wanted to feel the ocean wind and breathe the warm, fresh night air. He closed the door behind him to keep the bugs(

虫子

)

out of his room. Several minutes later, Jason pulled on the door. It didn’t move an inch. He pulled and pulled on the door,

but it still didn’t move. Jason was about to be afraid when he found he had locked himself

out of his room.

Jason looked down. The ground was about 20 meters below him. There was no way he could jump and live to tell

about it. He stood against the railing(

栏杆

) and looked around. He saw a light in the room to the right. Maybe he could jump

over t

o that balcony. “No,” he thought. “Too dangerous.” He started shouting, “Hello, hello!” No answer. He shouted louder.

Still nothing. Finally, he started to sing loudly and off-key. He heard the sound of a sliding door. A voice started to say,

“What …” Jason stood against the railing and said at once, “I’m so sorry! But I’m locked out of my room. Can you call the

front desk? Tell them the guy in 645 is stuck on his balcony.” His neighbor promised he would right away.

It was eleven when Jason was finally b

ack in his room and filled with luck. From then on, he promised to himself, “I’ll

keep my cell phone with me.”

B

Are you a positive person? If so, you are always hopeful and think of good points of a situation instead of bad ones.

The

power

of

positive

thinking

has

been

widely

researched.

It’s

funny

that

some

of

us

accept

this

power

quickly

while

others are doubtful. Do you know the reason? Our opinions about positive thinking might explain its point.

________

When facing a problem, we weigh success or failure against the problem itself. We might think that positive thinking

always leads us to expect success. Actually, it’s more important

to realize that positive thinking results in acceptance of our

situation.

If

we

think

positively,

we

may

predict

success

or

ways

to

move

on

when

we

are

in

difficulties.

There’s

a

difference between blind positivity and seeing things in a positive way.

Results from positive thinking

Does research see any real value in positive thinking? Many studies show that a positive attitude leads to less stress and

sadness. Physically, positive thinking also leads to a longer life and quicker recovery(

恢复

) from sickness. Positive people

with a family history of heart problems are even less likely to experience heart attacks.

Positive VS Negative(

消极

)

It

seems

strange

to

think

that

a

state

of

mind

can

have

such

effects

.

But

there

are

several

reasons

why

a

positive

B. Jason closed the hotel room window to keep the bugs out of his room

attitude is better than a negative one. Negative feelings are good for making us focus on tasks, such as running from danger,

for example. However, positive feelings open us up to a world of kinds of possibilities and bring us helpful ways. The more

results of positive thinking naturally last longer as well.

Strategies for positivity

A positive attitude comes easier for some people than others because it’s a born character. Still, anyone can try a few

a. Rebuilding: See positives through negatives, such as being glad the subway is cheap even when crowded.

b. Distance: When making a big decision, act like you’re giving a friend advice.

c. Smile: Real or not, smiles are shown to decrease (

降低

) heart rate and blood pressure.

In the end, a positive attitude requires not only positive thinking but also positive action.

A. a notice

B. a survey

C. a diary

D. a magazine

things to bring out the positive.

C

A great number of people in the world have never seen see more of it than they want to. Hail is much mor

e common; it happens even in deserts.

Hail is a small round ball of alternating layers(

交互层

) of snow and clear ice. It forms inside large dark clouds that you

can see before or during a storm. There are two ideas about how hailstones from.

One idea shows that hail forms when drops of water freeze in the upper air.

As

they

fall,

they

collect

more

drops

of

water. They also collect snow. The ice and snow build up in layers. If you cut a hailstone, you can see these alternating

layers.

The other idea says that hail starts as a raindrop. The wind carries it higher into the atmosphere(

大气层

), where it gets

covered

by

snow.

It becomes heavy and begins to fall.

As it falls,

it gets a layer of water,

which freezes.

Then

the

wind

carries it back to the snow area, and it gets another layer of snow. This can happen a number of times. Finally the hailstone

is too heavy to travel on the wind, and it falls to the ground.

Only

a

thundersto rm(

暴风雨

),

a

storm

with

loud

noises

and

lightning

can

produce

hail,

but

very

few

of

them

do.

Perhaps only one in 400 thunderstorms creates hailstones.

A

hailstone

is

usually

less

than

eight

centimeters

in

diameter.

However,

hailstones

can

be

much

bigger

than

that.

Sometimes they are as big as baseballs. The largest hailstone which people have ever recorded weighed over 680 grams and

had a diameter of thirteen centimeters.

Hail can cause the death of plants, especially since hail usually appears in the middle of summer, when the plants are

partly

grown.

If

the

crops

are

destroyed,

it

is

too

late

to

plant

more,

and

the

farmer

has

lost

everything.

In

one

terrible

hailstorm in 1923 in Rostov, in Ukraine, twenty-three people and many farm animals were killed.

26.

Which of the following is about HAIL?

A.

B.

C.

D.

27.
