When you visit Taiwan,Green Island is a wonderful place not to be missed.
Green Island,with clear blue water around it,is an island in the Pacific Ocean,33 kilometers east of Taitung. The old name for Green Island was Huoshandao,meaning “fireburning island”. The island got its name because people on the island used to set up fires at night to help people who went fishing home. Another story goes that in the Qing Dynasty there was a fire and most of the island’s trees and grass died. The coastline(海岸) of the island is only 20 kilometers long,the tallest mountain is only 281 meters high and the island is only 15 km2,but it is attracting(吸引) a growing number of tourists.
Green Island has a lot of interests that make it a place where people like to go:seaside,a clean white beach,green grasslands,seawater,hot springs,beautiful undersea sights,and a great many plants and animals. Another thing of Green Island that people are interested in is its rocks in different shapes. “Sleeping Beauty” and “Pekinese Dog” are the two most strangely shaped ones.

举一反三
Like most English children, I learned foreign languages at school. When I made my first visit to the United States, I was sure I could have a nice and easy holiday without any language problem. But how wrong I was!
At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to tell my friend Danny that I had arrived. An American asked if he could help me. "Yes," I said, "1 want to give my friend a ring."
"Well, that"s nice. Are you getting married?" he asked. "No," I replied, "I just want to tell him I have arrived." "Oh," he said, "there is a phone downstairs on the first floor." "But we"re on the first floor now," I said.
"Well, I don"t know what you are talking about Maybe you aren"t feeling too well after your journey," he said. "Just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better." And he went off, leaving me wondering where on earth I was: At home we wash up after a meal to get the cups and plates clean. How can I wash up at an airport?
At last we did meet. Danny explained the misunderstanding: Americans say "to give someone a call", but we English say "to give somebody a ring". When we say "to wash your hands", they say "to wash up". And Englishmen start numbering from the ground floor so the first floor is the second for Americans.
小题1:The writer went to America by  ______.
A.planeB.shipC.busD.train
小题2:The writer went to America for______   .
A.education B.businessC.holidayD.friendship
