Great changes have been taken place over the past five years in my hometown, that is a famous historic city. The streets used to be narrow, filling with small shops. Rubbish can be seen everywhere. Nowadays the streets are wider and clean with trees and flowers planted along the sidewalks. Besides, four new parks have been opened for the public and a number of high buildings has arisen in the city. However, some of the historic building have been torn down to make room for high buildings. Our city is now modern and clean and it doesn’t have its own special characteristics. In my opinion, we should try to protect all the historic buildings in process of urban development.

It’s the ending of 2016,but as USA Today says,“it’s never too late to plan your 2016 travels”.With so many hot destinations around the globe,“where should I go?” can be difficult to answer. According to Lonely Planet,though,Brazil is a fine choice-on Aug.29,the travel guide named that country the top one to visit in 2016.

“As if endless strands of coast and mountains,splashed with rainforest didn’t already add up to an unfair share of heaven (天堂),Brazil will hold two of the greatest sporting events in the world,beginning with the 2014 FIFA World Cup and followed by the 2016 Summer Olympics,”explained Lonely Planet.

Brazil is the largest and most populous country in South America. It boasts(自豪拥有) the Amazon,the world’s largest jungle,which is home to a variety of plants and animals. But the great landscape is not the only thing Brazilians take pride in.

The colors green and yellow might make most people think of Brazil’s soccer team even more than its national flag. Soccer is more than a sport in Brazil;it’s a way of life. In fact,the World Cup brings Brazilians together. It is interesting to note,that the general elections(大选) in Brazil are usually held during the same year as the World Cup. Political parties try to take advantage of the patriotic enthusiasm created by soccer to inspire political energy.

Alongside soccer,samba is another symbol of Brazil. The country’s most traditional dance is highlighted every February at the Rio Carnival,which is one of the world’s biggest.

“Brazil has left its second-class nation status,” said former Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in 2009 after Rio de Janeiro was awarded the 2016 Olympics.

Brazil’s growing economy,fueled (刺激) by oil and aircraft factories,has made it more than just a nation of samba,soccer and beaches. These days,it might just be the best tourist destination in the world.

1.Which is true about Brazil?

A. It will hold the FIFA World Cup and the Summer Olympics in 2016.

B. Soccer and samba are two symbols of the country.

C. It is the largest country with the longest history in South America.

D. Its Amazon is the world’s largest jungle, Brazilians take pride in only.

2.We can tell from the words of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva that ________.

A. his country will be the first class nation status after the 2016 Olympics

B. his country has been left behind by other second-class nations

C. he is confident that his country has developed very fast

D. the 2016 Olympics, not samba or soccer, has made his country the first class

3.The author’s purpose in writing the article is to ________.

A. prove that Lonely Planet’s recommendation is right

B. give an introduction of Brazil as a tourist destination

C. give an objective review of Brazil as a nation

D. explain why Brazil will be holding the two sporting events

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.

“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media”, says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”

Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative, but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.

Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”

A. News reports.

B. Research papers.

D. They are careful with their words.

3.Which tended to be most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide

D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks

As early as the mid-18th century, some people began raising doubts about Marco Polo’s travels. In 1995, historian Frances Wood argued in her book Did Marco Polo Go to China? that the famous explorer from Venice never made it to pass the Black Sea. She noted that his travel journal left out the Great Wall of China, chopsticks and tea drinking among other details. Furthermore, Chinese documents from Polo’s day made no mention of the explorer and his men.

Wood and other scholars have argued that Marco Polo based his tales of China on information collected from fellow trades who had actually been there. Last year, a team of Italian researchers became the latest to challenge Polo’s accounts(叙述). They said that evidence didn’t support his description of Kublai Khan’s Japanese invasions (侵略).

Now, however, research by Hans Ulrich Vogel of Germany’s Tubingen University might help prove Marco Polo was true. In a new book Marco Polo Was in China,the professor of Chinese history tries to prove that Marco Polo spoke the truth. He suggests, for example, that Polo didn’t include the Great Wall in his book because it only achieved its great importance in the Ming Dynasty several hundred years later. Vogel further explains that Chinese records from the 13th and 14th centuries avoided setting down visits from Westerners.

Historians before him have touched on these issues. But Vogel also relies on another evidence:the explorer’s very detailed descriptions of currency and salt production in the Yuan Dynasty. According to Vogel, Polo documented these aspects of Mongol Chinese culture in greater detail than any other of his time. This is a hint (暗示) that Polo relied on his own powers of observation.

Will we ever know whether Marco Polo traveled to China? Perhaps not, but the consequences of his real or fictional journey are still felt across the globe. One reader of The Travels of Marco Polo was Christopher Columbus, who stepped upon the New World while following his idol’s footsteps.

1.France Wood doubted Marco Polo’s travel’s to China because his description ________.

A. missed some important culture of China

B. covered so much about traders’ life

C. was full of obvious mistakes

D. seemed less detailed

2.Vogel’s trust on Marco Polo is based on the argument that ________.

a. The Great Wall didn’t gain its importance then

b. Records in the Yuan Dynasty mentioned Polo

c. Polo mentioned the currency and salt

d. Polo’s other works are believable

e. Polo recorded what he saw in great detail

A. a, b, dB. a, c, dC. a, eD. b, c

I thought for a minute, and then I said, “I’ll explain, ________ you can just wait until we make a quick ________ at the grocery store. I have something ________ to show you.”

At the grocery store, we ________ some apples—red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Adam, “It’s time to ________ your question.” I put one apple of each ________ on the table. Then I looked at Adam, who had a ________ look on his face.

“People are like apples. They come in all ________ colors, shapes and sizes. On the ________, some of the apples may not ________ look as delicious as the others.” As I was talking, Adam was ________ each one carefully.

Then, I took each of the apples and peeled (削皮) them, ________ them back on the table, but ________ a different place.

“Okay, Adam, tell me which is which.”

Niagara Falls

The Niagara Falls consist of three sections. The large Canadian falls—with their distinctive curved shape—are also known as the Horseshoe Falls. They are separated by Goat Island from the American Falls, which are separated from the narrow Bridal Veil Falls by a small island at their south end. Each side of the falls offers a different perspective, and it is always best to visit both sides to maximize your experience.

Views of Niagara Falls are free and accessible. Access to the riverside walks and parks offer great views. You can walk across to Goat Island on the bridge on foot.

Cave of the Winds, ? +1 716 278-1730. Daily 9 AM-7:30 PM from Spring 2016. A lift takes you 175 feet down to a walkway that leads you right to the bottom of the Bridal Veil Falls. You will definitely get a feel for the true power of the falls! This is the closest you can get to the falls on either side without actually leaping into them! Raincoats and slippers are provided, and you will definitely need them. Adults: $12; 6-12 year: $8; younger children: Free, but must be 42 inches or taller.

Maid of the Mist. A boat ride, taking you down around the bottom of the falls. Some information is given about the falls, but the real experience is looking up at the falls from below and feeling the mist coming off the falls (hence the name). Wear a raincoat to avoid getting wet. Boats leave from both the American and Canadian sides, so you may want to check the exchange rates to see which will be more cost-effective when you visit! April-October.

The Niagara Gorge Discovery Center. Although it’s easy to enjoy the falls visually, the Discovery Center provides another way to appreciate the magnificence of the falls. Exhibits show the history of the entire area, including the falls, how they were originally formed, and how they've changed over time.

Aquarium of Niagara, 701 Whirlpool St, toll-free: +1 800-500-4609. 9AM-5PM. The aquarium at Niagara Falls. $10.

Niagara Scenic Trolley. Use this to get around the park more quickly if needed. $2 adults/$1 children for the entire day. Hop on and off.

You can combine all these attractions with a Niagara USA Discovery pass for $35, which you can purchase at the attractions.

Must stay a night and see the night view of the Niagara Falls. It is equally beautiful.

During the winter season, a lot of repair work of the falls, tours, and surroundings takes place. Many areas, such as Terrapin Point and Luna Island, are closed due to slippery conditions. Winter brings a different kind of beauty to the falls and a visit during that time is certainly worthwhile, but if you want to experience the full range, plan to come in the warmer months.

1.How much do the Browns (Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown, an 8-year-old, a 4-year-old) need to pay to visit Cave of the Winds?

A. $ 12.B. $ 24.C. $ 32.D. $ 35.

2.What can we learn from the text?

A. Tourists in Niagara Falls can enjoy the full range of scenery in winter.

B. Tourists in Niagara Gorge Discovery Center can have a feel of history.

C. Tourists are provided with boat rides from both the American and Canadian sides all year round.
