2.In his youth,Zarko worked as a steelworker in Zenica,but decided to try his luck in Germany after he divorced 30years ago.He worked different jobs for many years,but 10 years ago he was sent back to Bosnia for working and living in Germany illegally.Unfortunately,Zarko's apartment had been destroyed during the Bosnian War.With no savings to buy a new place,and no one to turn to for help,he eventually ended up in a small mountainside cave that had once been used by miners to store explosives.It was meant to be a temporary arrangement,but he's been living there for 10 years.
Zarko never asked for help from the state.He has survived on his own,and despite the obvious downsides(缺点) of living in a cave for such a long time,he says that there are benefits as well."People always find something to fight about,so it's better to live alone,"Zarko says,although he isn't technically by himself.He shares his modest home with 13 deserted dogs which he feeds every day with bones from the local butcher shop.
He usually checks the dustbins three times a day,and almost always finds something to eat,but on bad days,he can buy himself some food with the money he makes by cutting wood for the locals.
The caveman says he likes his home,but also admits that he looks forward to getting his pension in three years.He says he's in good health and can definitely survive another three years,when he will actually be getting two pensions,one from Bosnia and another from Germany.He hopes to be able to finally afford a proper home.

25.Why did Zarko return to Bosnia a decade ago?D
A.To try different jobs.
B.To flee away from a war.
C.Because of his unsuccessful marriage there.
D.Because he had no right to stay in Germany.
26.Which of the following words can best describe Zarko according to Paragraph 2?C
A.Generous but stubborn.
B.Hard-working but sensitive.
C.Independent and kind-hearted.
D.Considerate and easy-going.
27.What can be inferred about Zarko from the passage?B
A.He is ashamed of being a caveman.
B.He is quite optimistic about his future.
C.His life will come to an end in three years.
D.He doesn't have any source of income at present.

17.Jumping off random cliffs(悬崖) into the sea is not clever.However,as a sport,coasteering uses local experts to help groups travel around the coast so they can then jump safely and have a lot of fun in the process.But coasteering is also so much more than cliff jumping.
A usual day's coasteering will involve swimming,climbing,scrambling(攀岩) and cliff jumping.All trips begin with a safety brief and equipment check.You will be equipped with a helmet,wetsuit and life vest.You will need to wear some old sneakers you don't mind getting wet.
From here it could be a short swim to the first jump site.Following an instructor,you swim through rock pools,around rough rocks and right up to the next jump spot.A brief climb and you'll be standing on the edge wondering,"Why the hell did I agree to this?"Then,and to the yell of your friends,you're leaping in,with a smile that's guaranteed to last the rest of the day.
Coasteering is certainly more than cliff jumping.If ever a sport could claim to be confidence building,this is it.And it's also a perfect activity for groups of friends or for adventurous families who want to explore the coast.Many companies offer daily trips,so even if you are on your own or a couple you can join in with a large group.Companies use trained guides with much knowledge of local tides and weather conditions.These people lead the show and are qualified lifesavers as well.
Coasteering is already popular around the UK.At least now you won't have to ask"What is coasteering?"if someone you know gives it a go.

24.What is coasteering?C
A.A daily sightseeing trip
B.A non-expert guided diving
C.A cliff and water based sport

25.What is the benefit of coasteering?A
A.Building confidence
B.Developing independence
C.Improving guiding skills
D.Enriching lifesaving experience
26.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A
A.You felt scared and regretful
B.You became totally tired
C.You discovered your potential
D.You gained complete relief
27.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A
A.To introduce coasteering
B.To organize coasteering
C.To advertise spots for coasteering
D.To train coasteering-lovers.

The benefits of keeping a journal (日志)

If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. 1. Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.

◆ It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down? 2. But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.

◆ It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. 3. You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.

4. After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.

◆ It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it.5. In the end, you will expand your ideas.

A. It trains you to express your thoughts.

B. It allows you to see your progress over time.

C. Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.

D. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it.

E. Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

F. I often experienced that myself.

G. Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.
