Take in this fresh sea air in this beautiful coastal setting as you cruise the famous Garden Route in the
Western Cape in South Africa. A wild life break is a must, as is enjoying great meal stops along the route. There are wild life reserves throughout the Garden Route National Park you can swing into and spend a
sleepy morning in a car looking for giraffes and lions. And just over your shoulder in the big blue there are whales to be watched (if the season is right).
Top tip: Add a trip to the Eastern Cape to your Garden Route trip. It is much less known than the
Western Cape and full of landscapes. The gas station is occasionally seen.
Great Ocean Road, Australia
Sweep along this dramatic coastal road in Australia with views of the Sourthern Ocean from Geelong
to Portland, in Victoria, and you won"t regret it. Anyone who has driven it just can"t stop talking about it,
and with good reason. There"re loads to see and plenty of great stops. There"s whale-watching here too,
and other natural life. And to top it all, there"ll be plenty of good old Aussie kindness and welcome when
you pull in for lunch or a coffee stop.
Top tip: Rent an open-top car so you can really drink in that sea air.
Stelvio Pass, Italy
If you like snake-like paths and mountain passes, you"ll love this. Stelvio in Italy. The mountain slopes
stretch away on either side of the road, with snow-topped peaks within sight. There"s a great view down
the pass. And from the top, it"s just a short sweep away from the Swiss border, so if you are gripped by
mountain road driving, you can drive from here down to Swiss ski resort Davos. Stelvio has 48 hairpins
(急弯) on the north side and 12 on the decent (陡坡) to Bormio, so this route is not recommended for
new drivers, or those with a fear of heights. This decent is is often featured in the Giro d"Italia, the Italian
version of the Tour de France, so you may have glimpsed it on the television.
Top tip: Take some Swiss Francs as well as some Euros, so you can make the trip a cross-border
experience.

boxer"s primary aim is to land as many blows as possible to the head and torso (躯干) of the opponent,
using strength and speed to dominate the contest. One of the oldest sports still practiced, boxing dates
back to thousands of years ago. Today the sport is popular in many parts of the world and encompasses (包括) both amateur and professional matches.
For most of the 20th century boxing attracted huge fans and media attention in the United States.
Some boxing champions became legendary, larger-than-life figures, such as Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis,
and Muhammad Ali. Criticized to varying degrees throughout its history for its violent nature and high
injury rate, boxing has somehow always managed to survive-and even thrive-as a sport.
Modern boxing regulations are based upon the 12 rules set out by British boxing officials in the
mid-19th century. These rules became known as the Marquess of Queensberry Rules, named after the
8th Marquess of Queensberry, John Sholto Douglas, who sponsored and published them. In addition
to in-the-ring rules, modern boxing also has specific regulations regarding eligibility for the fighters
themselves.
The modern rules for professional and amateur boxing differ, but both types of contests are divided
into time periods called rounds. In professional boxing, each round lasts three minutes; in amateur boxing,
two minutes. A one-minute rest period between rounds is standard. Amateur contests consist of three
rounds; professional contests may consist of up to 12 rounds. A bell is usually sounded by a timekeeper
to begin and end each round.
A key step in making boxing safer and more respectable was the introduction of gloves, ending brutal
bare-knuckle competition. Boxing gloves are heavily padded to soften the impact of the blow and to
protect the hands of the boxer. As an added protection, the hands are taped before being placed in the
gloves, which are essentially huge mittens. Professional gloves usually weigh between 170 and 226g;
amateur gloves average 226 to 340g.
B. People enjoy boxing because of its brutal nature.
C. Only professional players are allowed to attend boxing matches.
D. Boxing is a popular sport with a history of only 200 years.
B. this is because boxing is a sport which can bring good business
C. the reason for this cannot be fully explained
D. this is because there are many legendary boxers
B. The weight of gloves.
C. The size of boxing rings.
D. The signal to begin and end each round.
B. to advertise a band of boxing-related product
C. to discourage people from enjoying this violent sport
D. to get support for a sport with long tradition
B. It is a traditional sport, with little room for improvement.
C. It is a controversial sport, which nevertheless enjoys great public support.
D. It is strictly professional sport with rigid and exclusive rules.
In ancient China, chrysanthemums (or "mums" for short) were first planted thousands of
years ago. People chose the chrysanthemum as their Flower for October, a symbol of the rest and ease
that followed the season"s final harvest. Then they symbolized a scholar in retirement (隐居) and were
one of the four noble plants, along with bamboo, the plum flower, and orchid.
The Japanese hold the chrysanthemum as a symbol of the sun. They consider the orderly unfolding of
its petals to be a symbol of perfection. They also think that a single chrysanthemum petal placed in the
bottom of a wine glass encourages a long and healthy life. The Japanese even have a National
Chrysanthemum Day on September 9, known as the Festival of Happiness.
In the United States during colonial times, its popularity grew such that mums now reign as "Queen of
the Fall Flowers." Mums remain the most widely grown pot plant in the country and the largest
commercially produced flowers. Chrysanthemums generally represent cheerfulness and rest. So they are
welcomed throughout the British Isles and North America for any occasion, such as football games and
parties. In other countries such as Italy, Belgium and Austria, however, their association with the dead
makes chrysanthemums acceptable only for funerals and graves.
a symbol of ________?
B. having relaxation after one year"s of hard work.
C. loving this kind of flowers during this month.
D. having another good harvest the next year.
B. the flower with its nice petals represents a symbol of perfection

different ways.
In China and in Japan, for example, the arrival of New Year is more important than a person"s
birthday. So everyone adds a year to celebrate their ages on New Year"s Day, instead of on their
birthdays,
In Brazil, the special birthday food isn"t cake, but special candles. In China, it"s long noodles-for
long life. In Iceland, people have pancakes with candies rolled inside them on birthdays.
In Britain, a birthday is an all-day celebration. At school, the birthday child is lifted up and "bumped"
by his classmates. This means the child is lifted by the feet and arms and bumped to the ground, once for
each year once for good growth. In Israel, the same custom is followed, except the birthday person is
lifted and lowered while sitting in a chair.
In Holland, children not only get presents, but also give things out. They give cakes, cookies and
candles to their classmates and teachers on their birthdays.
In Mexico, it"s good luck to give birthday greetings as early in the day as possible. So it"s usual for the
birthday child to be woken up at midnight by fiends singing birthday songs.
In India, birthday celebrations also begin before dawn. Prayers and blessings must be said before morning comes.
In Thailand, two tall candles are lighted the night before the birthday. One is as tall as the birthday
person. If it goes out early, it"s bad luck. Another customs of Thailand is that they buy live fish and birds
for the birthday person and then the birthday person frees the animals, and it brings good luck.
In Nigeria, people in a certain age group celebrate their birthdays together, on a certain day.
In many countries birthday customs are changing. Old customs are giving way to western style of
birthdays, with candletopped cakes. But one thing never changes-birthdays are special days for everyone!
B. Israel
C. Britain and Israel
D. Israel and Thailand
B. In Holland people give presents to unbirthday persons on their birthdays.

D. In Thailand a candle will be lighted on the birthday night.

find Asia they had to find a way past South Africa. The man who finally found the way from the Atlantic
Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan.
Magellan sailed from Seville in August 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending the severe (凌冽的) winter on the coast of Patagonia, he discovered the channel (海峡)
which is now called Magellan Straits. In November 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and
storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America.
They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. But they didn"t see any land until they reached the islands
off the coast of Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as Philippines, men were dying of
starvation. While they were in the Philippines., Magellan was killed in battle.
The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain. They decided to sail around Africa. After many
difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville after leaving. They were all that remained of
Magellan"s expedition (探险队).
B. in October 1520
C. in November 1520
D. in December 1520
B. three
C. four
D. five
B. Lack of fresh food and water
C. Severe winter in Patagonia
D. The death of Magellan
The most widespread fallacy (谬误) of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are
caused by viruses(病毒) passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact,
directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable
to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions
explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from
the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches (战壕), cold and wet,
showed no increased tendency to catch colds. In the Second World War prisoners at the Auschwitz
Concentration Camp (奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom
had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments in which
they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot
baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet (湿透) in drafty (通风的) room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain
until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was
actually dropped in his nose.
If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the
winter? Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation
offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other time,
and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as
aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms.
B. 5
C. 6
D. 3
B. they are writing reports in terribly cold weather
C. they are free from work in the isolated arctic regions
D. they are coming into touch again with the outside world
B. never caught colds
C. often caught colds
D. became very strong
B. the fallacy about the common cold
C. the reason and the way people catch colds
D. the continued spread of common colds
