famous landmarks. Some vacations allow you plenty of opportunities to learn.
The most difficult aspect of a learning vacation may be choosing one because the possibilities are
endless. If you enjoy cooking, various companies can take you to Italy, France, Spain, Mexico or even
Peru. Once there, you can learn to prepare the local cuisine(烹饪). Trips are often planned to fit in with
local food festivals or special events.
The term "learning vacation" often brings language to mind.The best way to learn a language is in an
environment where it"s spoken. Study Spanish, French or English. Or attempt a more unusual language like Polish, Estonian or Thai. You"ll be able to learn about the country and absorb the culture at the same time.
If you are fond of sports, you can polish your skills or learn new ones. Golf and tennis schools welcome
players of all levels. If you want a bigger thrill, you can learn to surf, go climbing or race cars.
It"s even possible to learn the art and techniques of bull fighting while on vacation!
You can also discover our inner artist. Many places offer painting classes in different mediums. The
scenic locations of the schools offer plenty of subjects that provide inspiration for practice.
If you prefer capturing the world on film, take a photography vacation. Travel with a small group to
photograph beautiful animals or scenery. You can also practise your technique on people or at historical
sights.
Once you decide on a vacation, choose a company carefully. Request names of recent customers you
can contact, and then ask them for an evaluation. The more you know before you go, the better prepared you"ll be. Then go out and learn something!
B. Because the possibilities are unlimited.
C. Because there are many good foods from abroad.
D. Because there"re too many food festivals or events
B. you are able to learn the original foreign language
C. native speakers offer you a lot of chances to practise
D. you can learn the language and experience its culture
B. Playing tennis.
C. Rock climbing.
D. Surfing.
Sleep earlier. You might be used to staying up late, perhaps watching TV or surfing the Internet. However, you just might fall asleep much sooner than you think.
Put your alarm away from your bed. You have to get up out of bed to shut it off. By then, you"re up.
Now you just have to stay up.
Go out of the bedroom as soon as you shut off the alarm. Don"t find an excuse to go back to bed. My
habit is to force myself into the bathroom. By the time I"ve washed my hand, and the toilet of course, and
looked at my ugly face in the mirror, I"m awake enough to face the day.
Allow yourself to sleep in once in a while, as long as it"s not a regular thing. I do it maybe once a week or so.
Make it a reward. At first you"re forcing yourself to do something hard, but if you do something
pleasurable as part of your morning routine, soon you will look forward to waking up early. My reward used to be to make a hot cup of coffee for myself and read a book. Now I look outside (or better yet, get
outside!) and watch the sky turn light. It"s beautiful. It"s now my favorite time of day.
Getting up early is a reward in itself for me and so will it be for you.
B. Shut off TV and the Internet, and face the day.
C. Get up at the same time every day to keep the habit.
D. Do something enjoyable in the morning to begin the day.
B. we really need a cold wash
C. the alarm clock needs to be shut off
D. that will make ourselves completely awake
B. making a cup of coffee for himself
C. watching the daybreak
D. sleeping late, and thinking in bed
B. give tips for becoming an early bird
C. persuade people to get up early
D. help get rewards from getting up early
efficiency of their reading.Some proceed very slowly throughout; others clash along too quickly
and then have to regress(退回).Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their
manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it.
A good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter.
He may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of
what the text is about without really reading it.In reading more difficult material, with the intention of
taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating
on the key words and passages, perhaps rereading them several times, and pass more quickly over the
remainder.A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads.
Consequently, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly.But this
pace may be too fast for really difficult material.
A type of reading which necessitates careful attention to detail is proofreading (校对), in which the
reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he
reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text.This is extremely difficult for most
people since they are accustomed to overlooking such details.In fact, considerable practice is required
to practice this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying less attention
to the general meaning of the text.
B.among all readers
C.among different poorlyeducated adults only
D.among different highlyeducated adults only
B.changes his speed according to the kind of text
C.always reads slowly but carefully
D.changes his speed according to his liking for the book
B.have practice in efficiency
C.pay no attention to the general meaning of the text
D.grasp the shape and order of letters and words as he reads

It"s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk
blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house
is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for
a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD,Insanity.Sweat pours down my face
and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the
end of the exercise,I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It"s not a smile because the
DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise
to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others
get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother"s chocolate cake. They raise
their eyebrows, surprised by my "no thank you," or by my choice to have a salad. Over the
years, I have learned it"s okay to just say "no." I shouldn"t feel sorry for refusing food that I
don"t want to eat.
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.?What gives me the reason to just say
no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily
anxiety,increases selfconfidence and energy,extends life and above all improves my body shape.
This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my
favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right.It"s through commitment and sweat that I can make a
difference within myself inside and out.
B.Because she finishes her favorite exercise.
C.Because she enjoys the interesting DVD.
D.Because she feels a sense of achievement.
B.She likes to make others surprised.
C.Others don"t understand what she does.
D.Others try to help her by offering her food.
B.Firm belief.
C.A strong power.
D.A regular habit.
B.She wants to look different from others.
C.She aims to develop a good body shape.
D.She has difficulty getting along with others.
