12．There is an island called Kitava，way out there in the Pacific Ocean，in the Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea．It is one of the four main Trobriand Islands with a total population of 12，000 native residents．Rich with culture，surrounded on all sides by clear blue water and abundant rainforest，Kitava is as apealing as it is remote．But it has more to offer than good views．
As Byrdie reports，Kitava is also home to a people whose diet and nutritional habits remain healthy，untouched by Western influence．A lifetime of not knowing the sweet，sweet sensation of the salt from a potato chip hitting the roof of your mouth has done more than just spare Kitavans from illnesses like diabetes and cardiovascular disease； it's also given them a lifetime of smooth，acne（痤疮）-free skin．
In a study of l'，200 subjects-including 300 teens and young adults-conducted by a team led by medical doctor and professor Steffan Lindeberg over 843 days，not one breakout was reported．They also found that genetics played little to no role in the results．
In fact，the average Kitavan diet is fairly common．It's simple，with no"miracle fruit"or"rare nut"to speak of，and Kitavans don't even exercise much．That diet consists mainly of yams（ 山荮），sweet potatoes，and taro （芋头），local fruits （namely coconut），fish，and vegetables．
But if you're already pulling out your suitcases and drafting a resignation letter to your boss，you might want to slow your step．For one thing，the closest airport is over 700 miles away from the island，so good luck getting there．And consider this：do you really want to move somewhere where you'll be the only person with acne until the diet kicks in？I don't think so．

28．Which are the contributing factors of attracting visitors to the island？B
a．Rich culture．b．Clean white sand     c．Thick rainforest   
d．Clear blue water  e．Romote tribes
A．abc       B．acd         C．bcd        D．ade
29．What accounts for the fact that the Kitavans own good skin？D
A．They don't like eating salt．．
B．They enjoy varieties of rare fruits．
C．They are sick of exercising．．
D．They follow simple but healthy diet．
30．What is unlikely to be included in the Kitavans'diet？C．

9．What would you like to be when you grow up？A teacher？A doctor？An astronaut？What do you need to do to achieve your dream job？Perhaps you think that studying well and then going on to work hard will get you successful career you want．We are constantly taught that our hard work will eventually pay off．
But a government survey has shown that hard work is not the only thing that will help you to move up the ladder．Two thirds of people believe that who you know matters more than what you know when it comes to social activity．So are the connections that you have more important than your education？
76% of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in influencing your chances of success．They believe that if you are privileged from birth，you are more likely to have a successful career，especially if your family is wealthy．
Even if you don't have a privileged background，the people you know can still make a difference to your career．Networking is a skill which is encouraged by many career advisers．Some companies run networking workshops to try and encourage staff to meet other people，to communicate and build relationships．It's a valuable skill．
But the survey also showed something quite interesting．Although most people believed that networks are more important than education，many people put their own career success down to talent，rather than background.41% of the people said that their parents'income had influenced their life，but at the same time，another 41% believed that they had achieved their own success．
So which is more important，what you know or who you know？It seems that by working hard and making lots of connections，the answer may be that both are very important．

21．According to the government survey，the most important factor to help people move up the ladder isB．
A．hard work   B．social relationship  C．education  D．social activity
22．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？A
A.76% of the people think social relationship is most important．
B.41% of the people believe parents'income is most important．
C.76% of the people think family background ranks first．
D.41% of the people believe they gained their own success．
23．From the passage we can infer that the writer writes the article toC．
A．stress the importance of education
B．make lots of social connections
C．challenge the traditional belief
D．encourage people to work hard．
