11．If you are tired of common hotel rooms，maybe it's time to climb into a tree．A new generation of treehouses is appearing across the world，and designer Roderick Romero says he knows the reason and he once said，"They're magical．I've never seen someone climb into a treehouse and not smile．"
Edisto River
Before you can stay in one of the treehouses owned by Carolina Heritage Outfitters，you first have to canoe down the Edisto River．Every home offers cooking equipment and a comfortable sleeping bed．"It's a really good place to get back to nature，"Romero says．The treehouses have gas stoves and are lit by lanterns．
Treehotel
Romero was astonished when he first saw the buildings at this hotel 40miles south of the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden．"It blew my mind．I couldn't believe what I was seeing，"he says．"The hotel rooms follow fantastic spare Scandinavian design．Architecturally this is one of the coolest ideas for a treehouse．"
Hideaway Café
While most treehouses are found in the woods，this coffee shop changes the idea with a location in downtown Tokyo．The building itself stands on stilts（桩）with a tree growing through the center of it．The café was the first treehouse designed by Kobayashi Takashi，who has created more than 120homes．
Tongabezi
One of the world's most fashionable treehouses stands in a tree alongside the Zambezi River near Victoria Falls．The large pine deck holds a bed and Turkish carpets．Guests can go on an expedition，or simply stay in their room and watch hippos playing in the river．
21．What Roderick Romero said in the first paragraph meansC．
A．people are fond of magic performances．
B．It is difficult to build a house in the trees．
C．treehouses are popular with many people
D．people today don't like common hotels．
22．Treehotel left a deep impression on Romero probably because ofB．
A．its position       
B．its design     
C．its height       
D．its history
23．Which of the following is located in a big city？A

B．Treehotel     
C．Edisto River     
D．Tongabezi．

An aquarium can be a small container for a few goldfish．（36）F Aquariums give people the chance to observe an ecosystem （生态系统） very different from their own．
People who like fish often keep aquariums as a hobby．Popular fish for home aquariums include goldfish，guppies and bettas．Home aquariums can be as small as a bowl or as large as an entire wall．For their fish to survive，owners must make sure that their aquariums stay clean and that the water is the right temperature．They must not put too many fish or natural enemies together．（37）CFound in many large cities，public aquariums are buildings with large tanks of fish and other water animals．Different tanks contain fish，and salty waters．People come to see and learn about fish and their habitats．（38）D．Marine biologists （海洋生物学家） help the animals to get well and then return them to the wild．
People have kept fish in man-made habitats for at least 4，500years．The ancient Sumerians，Egyptians，and Romans kept fish in aquariums．（39）AMan-made ponds filled with fish later became popular in European gardens．The trend spread to North America in 1800s．In 1853the zoological Society of London，England，opened the first public aquarium．（40）B More people also began keeping fish in small aquariums at home．

9．You know the saying"You're as young as you feel．"Well，there may be some truth to that，according to researchers at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology．
Ellen Langer，a Harvard psychologist who studies how the mind influences the body，and colleagues reviewed the scientific literature for evidence that a person's perception of their age might influence their health．They published their results in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science．
In one study that Langer led，47 women had their hair done．The women who thought their new hairdos made them look younger did look younger to objective observers，who were shown before-and-after pictures．The women who thought they looked younger also showed a drop in blood pressure．Another study involving 4，421 men found that those who became bald （秃顶）at a relatively young age were more likely to get cancer and heart disease than men who did not．Similarly，another study involving 2，017 men found that those who lost their hair early were more likely to develop heart disease．"We believe that the feelings associated with being older than one's real age account for some of these health outcomes，"the researchers wrote．
The researchers also described studies that found that women who had children later in life were more likely to be healthier and live longer than those who had children early，which they attributed to the fact that these mothers tend to spend more time with younger women．Similarly，people who marry younger partners tend to live longer than those who marry older partners，according to other studies．
Taken together，the research"supports the general mind-body hypothesis （假说）that when a younger mind is prepared，a younger body can accompany it．"While the mechanism （机制）remains unclear，the researchers figured that suggestions associated with aging can"make one unconsciously or consciously aware of old age and set in motion a series of physiological processes that can have real effects on short-term and long-term health．"

6．Culture Shock
Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings （of surprise，uncertainty，confusion，etc．） felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment，such as a foreign country．
Generally speaking，we could say that there are four stages of culture shock．The first stage is called"the honeymoon"．In this stage，you are excited about living in a different place．（36）G
The next stage is"the hostility（敌意）stage"．In this stage，you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was．（37）D Moreover，people don't treat you like a guest anymore．
Then you come to the third stage called"recovery"．In this stage，you start to feel more positive．（38）B The whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it．
The last stage of culture shock is called"adjustment"．In this stage，you have reached a point where you actually feel good．（39）E The things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand．Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable．
Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages．
（40）C It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another （e．g．，from high school to college）．

A．You feel that friends should help each other to deal with culture shock．
B．And you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand．
C．In addition，culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitor．
D．You become tired of many things about the new culture．
E．You have learned enough to understand the new culture．
