18.If you want to pay a visit to Iceland,you'll enter a whole new region of experience.You'll discover original nature as you've never seen it before.The freedom to wander in the city or the wilds as you please is the key to the Iceland experience.Reykjavik,the capital of Iceland,is just a part of the Icelandic experience with its midnight sun or the magical landscapes mixed with ice and fire.Reykjavik has a population of around 170,000and offers an interesting mix of culture and local village roots.
Old accounts say the ancient gods themselves guided Iceland's first settler to make his home in Reykjavik.He named the place Reykjavik (Steamy Bay)after the geothermal(地热)steam he saw,which today heats homes and outdoor swimming pools throughout the city,a pollution-free energy source that leaves the air very fresh,clean and clear.
A beautiful river runs through the city limits,and so do fine parks and even wild outdoor areas.Against this backcloth(背景)of nature,Reykjavik has a packed program of familiar city joys too:art museums,several theaters,an opera house,a symphony orchestra and concerts meeting the needs of all ages and tastes.
One must for all visitors is dining out on Icelandic specialties,including delicious seafood,ocean-fresh from the morning's catch,highland lamb and unusual varieties of game.Its purely natural food is imaginatively served to delight the most discerning(内行的)of diners.Reykjavik is also famous as one of Europe's hottest nightspots,where the action on the friendly pub and nightlife scene lasts right through the night.In the evening,the downtown area is filled with activity,reaching its peak on Friday or Saturday.The number of pubs,café,discos,and other nightspots in the downtown area is astonishing.There is a rich variety of places to go:European-style cafes,nightclubs with live entertainment,dance halls for seniors,sports-theme pubs with big TV screens,cafes that offer over 100types of beer,an Irish pub,a Spanish café,a French wine bar.
Walking distances are short downtown,and everything worth seeing outside the city center can be quickly and conveniently reached by bus.With its long,easy-going main street and large shopping mall,Iceland's capital is a great place to shop too-with a bonus of tax-free shopping for visitors!
A full range of accommodations is available in Reykjavik,from international-standard hotels with good conference facilities,through smaller hotels and comfortable guesthouses,to a campsite in the city's biggest park.

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是,仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案,这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱.所谓阅读理解,对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文,因此,每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查,再得出答案.也就是说,阅读理解的每一道题目,在原文都应该有明确的出处,我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句,(1)排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项(2)排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 (3)排除用于过于极端或负面的选项(4)注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除.
Do not be too discouraged if you are(54)B for a job,but think about the reasons the employers give.Those who made the second interview might have been studying the same subject as you and be of (55)C ability level,but they had something which made them a(56)A match to the selector's ideal.That could be experience gained through projects or vacation work,or it might be that they were better at communicating what they could offer.Do not take the comments at (57)B value:think back to the interviews that generated them and make a list of where you think the shortfall in your performance lies.With this sort of analytical approach you will eventually get your foot in the door.
Deciding how long you should stay in your first job is a tough call.Stay too long and future employers may question your(58)D and ambition.Of course,it depends on where you are aiming.If you are a graduate,spending five or six years in the same job is not too long provided that you take full advantage of the (59)B.However,do not use this as a(n) (60)C for lacking interest or enthusiasm.Graduates sometimes fail to take ownership of their careers and take the initiative.It is up to you to make the most of what's available within a company,and to monitor progress in case you need to(61)C.This applies particularly if you are still not sure where your career path lies.
It is helpful to think through what kind of experience you need to get your(62)B job and it is not a problem to move around to a certain extent.But in the(63)D stages of your career you need a definite strategy for reaching your goal,so think about that carefully before deciding to step forward from your first job.You must cultivate(64)A to be competent for any role.There is no guarantee that you will get adequate training,and research has shown that if you do not receive proper help in a new role,it can take 18months to (65)C it.
