A
Vacation
time
allows
you
to
experience
physical and
emotional
benefits. You
may have
many things on your
to-do list and truly want to do your best job and
feel accomplished in the
end of the
day. But you also want to stay healthy and
energetic. That
’
s why
you
’
re in need of a
vacation.
Once
you
’
ve
dedicated
all
your
time
and
energy
to
work
and
daily
tasks,
though,
leaving them for a
while doesn
’
t seem like the
right thing to do. You may think that things will
get out of control, or that
you
’
ll be left behind and
will have to hurry even more after that.
But these are minor issues
considering the actual benefits of vacations. Here
are some of
them.
Taking a vacation helps you reduce
stress.
There
’
s
nothing
like
leaving
the
stressful
environment
of
your
daily
life
and
entering
a
new
world,
full
of
excitement.
The
study
carried
out
by
American
Sociological
Association
shows that a bigger number of vacations
leads to a decline in the psychological
unhappiness
of people.
It helps you grow spiritually.
One of the most important
aspects of having a vacation is that you get to
know yourself
better. You learn new
things throughout the journey, but you also
experience changes on the
inside. And
once you get back to reality, you can benefit from
these by trying new techniques to
be
more productive in life and in business, for
example.
You improve your
mental health.
It
’
s
great
for
your
brain
too.
Seeing
new
places
and
putting
yourself
in
an
unfamiliar
environment
are
great
for
expanding
your
horizons,
but
it
also
improves
your
thinking
and
creativity.
You
connect with nature.
According to a study from the
University of Exeter Medical School in Britain,
being closer
to green space improves
your mental health right away, and that effect can
be sustained(
保留
)
for longer. All these are great. And
people who frequently travel (even if
it
’
s not abroad), live a
much happier life and are more
productive.
21.
People may not like to take vacations
because ____________.
A.
they think it
a waste of time and money
B.
they worry
about their tired bodies
they feel no sense of achievement.
D.
they believe
they will fall behind in their work.
22.
According to
the passage, the most beneficial thing from
vacations is ____________.
A.
to have a
broader view of the world
B.
to contribute
to your spiritual growth
C.
to be more
productive in life
D.
to live a
longer and happier life
23.
After having
vacations, you will __________.
A. feel accomplished
C. feel less stressed
B
Australia
loves interesting money. In
1988
，
it was the first
country to replace paper money
with
special
plastic
banknotes.
Now
it
is
introduced
a
new
five-dollar
bill
so
technologically
advanced
that many experts are calling it the money of the
future!
At first glance,
the new note looks much like the old one. It has
the same pink color and
main
pictures
on
the
front
and
back.
But
look
closer,
and
you
will
notice
a
clear
window
running
down
the
middle,
surrounded
by
images
of
the
yellow
Prickly
Moses,
a
type
of
Australian plant.
Tilt
(
使倾斜
)the
note
a
little
and
you
will
see
the
Eastern
Spinebill,
an
Australian
bird,
beating its wings as if trying to fly
away. Turn the bill from side to side, and you
will notice the
more hurriedly
B. get out of control
picture of a small building at the
bottom of the note spins, and the image of M5W
changes
position.
While
these
moveable
features
are
impressive
and
entertaining
，
that
was
not
the
reason Australian government officials
spent ten years developing them. Their primary
purpose
was to make it Impossible for
criminals to produce their own fake notes.
The new five-dollar note
also has something to help blind people easily
identify the money. It
has a raised
bump alongside the top and
bottom
，
enabling blind people
to quickly determine its
value.
The credit for persuading
the Australian government to add this all-
important bump goes to
15-year-old
Connor McLeod. The blind Sydney teenager came up
with the idea in 2014 after
being
unable to tell how much money he had received for
Christmas. Connor says he was so
embarrassed at not being able to see
the difference between notes that he only carried
coins to
pay for food at the school
cafeteria. To convince the government officials of
his idea, Connor
started a website that
got huge public attention.
The government will add this feature to
the new $$ 10 bill which comes out in late
2017
，
as
well as
the updated $$ 20
，
$$ 50, and $$
100 bills that are still being designed.
24. Which picture does NOT
move when the banknote is tilted?
A. The bird.
25.
What was the
main reason the Australian government created the
new banknote?
A.
To help blind people more easily use
money.
B.
To show the
country
’
s advanced
technology.
C.
To make the note more difficult to
copy.
D.
To make the
note
’
s appearance more
attractive.
26.
What can we guess about Australian
coins?
A.
They are different in size or shape.
They are required in school
cafeterias.
B. The number.
C. The building.
D. The
plants.
C.
They are more
frequently used than notes.
D.
They are more
convenient for young people.
27. What did Connor do to persuade the
government?
A. He wrote a
letter to the leaders.
C.
He organized an online meeting.
C
Some novels
simply entertain and others contain a powerful
message in the story l ine and
characters. In his first novel, A Wind
In Montana, Mitch Davies tells a story about young
adults
and how they accept
responsibility for their lives.
A Wind in Montana is a great tale of
two teenagers, Rory Coleman and Victoria Beach,
high
school students at the same
school, who struggle to make the right decision
for themselves.
D. He requested a
special Christmas gift.
B. He sought
support on the Internet.
As each of
them nears adulthood, they become more concerned
with the future and set goals
that will
bring them happiness and a sense of achievement.
Without any advice from his
parents, Rory chooses to pursue a profession in
chemistry,
applies
for
a
chemistry
scholarship,
and
determines
to
do
everything
he
can
to
achieve
it.
Along
the
path,
Rory
finds
that
even
though
he
has
a
plan,
there
are
obstacles
that
could
prevent him from
realizing his goals.
Victoria
’
s struggles are
different from Rory
’
s.
Although her father has
decided that she should become a professional
musician, Victoria has
other plans for
her life. Together, Rory and Victoria attempt to
follow their dreams, despite the
obstacles
in
their
paths.
A
Wind
In
Montana
contains
a
lesson
for
all
teens
about
to
enter
adulthood
—
that
disappointment and setbacks are going to occur no
matter how determined
they are and that
they need to develop skills along the way that wi
ll help them deal with them
effectively.
Mitch
Davies
’
book
stands
out
among
today
’
s
teen
books
that
deal
with
imaginary
situations. A Wind
In Montana is a real story about real people
facing real -life situations.
It
’
s
entertaining
and
also
helps
readers
think
about
their
own
lives
and
offers
various
ways

handle situations that may arise.

D
Friendship is one of the basic bonds
between human beings. While the characteristics of
friendship
might
vary
from
one
country
to
another,
people
from
all
cultures
not
only
enjoy
friends but need them.
Many
studies
have
shown
that
teenagers
who
have
no
friends
often
suffer
from
psychological disorders. It has been
shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other
age
group,
need
companionship
and
a
sense
of
belonging.
The
negative
consequences
of
loneliness have also been
observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse
often leaves a
widow or a widower
totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded
by friends and relatives and
if they
are able to express their feelings, they are more
likely to recover from their
grief
。
“
No man is an
island.
”
In other words, we
are all parts of society. We all need the love,
D. to review a book
B. to
report a piece of news
admiration,
respect
and
moral
support
of
other
people.
If
we
are
fortunate,
our
friends
will
provide us with all of these necessary
aspects of life.
As most
people observe, there are many levels of
friendship. The degree or intensity of
friendship varies depending on the
personality of the individuals involved and the
context of the
relationships. Outgoing
persons enjoy being surrounded by many people
whereas shy persons
are perhaps content
with fewer but more intense
friendships
。
Everyone is not equally open with all
their friends. The degree of closeness is
determined
by many factors. Close
friends can be formed at any stage in
one
’
s life but they are
usually very
rare. Not very many people
have more than a few really close friends.
Irrespective of the level
of closeness,
all friendships are based on
reciprocity
（互惠）
, honesty and
a certain amount of
love and
affection
。
32

No man is an
island

A. everyone is a part of an
island
C. man cannot be an
island

island
B. everyone is just a part of

33. The degree of closeness of
friendship mainly depends
on_____________
。
A. age

___
。
A. are rare for most people
C. are not rare for everyone
