　 For many years, Hawaii has been a magic name to people who like to travel. People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these always include at least one scene of a sunset over the ocean. In the tropical(热带的)lands, the sun drops, like a ball of golden fire into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow that lights the skies in the quiet water.

　 People often have a quiet, peaceful perfect time for a leisurely(悠闲的)walk along the water. This scene is not too different from the dramatic(令人神往的)beauty that greeted the first strangers to these islands centuries ago. They were Polynesian people who came from Tahiti in canoes not much bigger than small boats.

　 They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees, but there were no giant hotels like the ones we see nowadays. The first people came to Hawaii nearly tow thousand years ago, but skyscraper hotels only have been built in the last 25 years. Now jet airplanes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo or San Francisco or Los Angeles.

　 Whenever the people come, they really want to see the original beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountains called Diamond Head(金刚山)which is almost hidden by the tall hotels.

1. Hawaii is the name ____.

　 A. given by people who like to travel

　 B. attracting a lot of travelers

　 C. with an interesting story behind it

　 D. talked about both the Japanese and Americans

2. What does not belong to “the original beauty of Hawaii”?

　　Every August on the island of Heimaey, off the southern coast of Iceland, young people often take a walk along the street throughout the night．What’s more, their parents allow them to stay out．Why? The children of Heimaey are going to save young puffins－small black－and white seabirds．

　　The cliffs above the town are home to a large group of puffins．The birds dig holes all around the cliffs．These holes are their homes．Their young stay in the holes for about seven weeks．Then they begin to leave．Some move slowly on their undeveloped wings and fell down to the northern Atlantic Ocean that surrounds Heimaey．There they swim, which they can do naturally, and learn to dive for fish．Others, however, may lose their way at night and find themselves in the town instead．On the ground, the young seabirds are in trouble．Because their wings are not fully developed, they cannot take off quickly to sea and safety．The birds then become a good meal for cats and other animals．

　　For many years, islanders have helped the young puffins．Early at night in late August, children carrying thick paper boxes and lights hurry to the seashore to catch puffins．They spend most of the night running after the birds．They put the birds they’ve caught in boxes and take good care of them．

　　The next morning the children take the puffins to the ocean and set them free．The birds will live at sea until they are at least two years old．Then they will return to the cliffs to build homes of their own for their families．

　　Will the children of Heimaey always come to save puffiness? “Yes, ”answered the boy．“We look forward to it．The best time for us is setting the birds free．”

We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects(缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things 　　1 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe　　　 ___2　 .

These comments may come from stories about us that have been 　3　 for many years—often from 　4　 childhood. These stories may have no 　5　 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作机械的) skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations　 6　 my development? I was never 　7　 to work on cars or be around　 8　 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!

Six years later,　 9　 , I was at California University, working on my doctors degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I　 10　 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the　 11　 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”

Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 　12 and told him about my 　13　 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “　 14　 is it that you can solve 　 15　 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”

Suddenly I realized that I didn’t 　16　 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 　17　 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been　 18　 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 　19　 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 　20　 we choose.
