Kompong Phhluk Private Tour

Depart the city for an unspoiled floating community called Kompong Phhluk which is astonishing for its stilted-house villages and flooded forest.

Stop on the way for the Rolous Market tour. This is a great chance for you to take the photos of locals selling vegetables, different fish species and other local produce.

After this market tour we’ll all have a boat trip to the floating community of Kompong Phhluk, visit an island pagoda, a school and houses standing on 8 or 10m high stilts, fish farms and learn about the village life.

Stop and have lunch in a family’s house before getting into a row boat and venturing into the flooded forest, the habitat to some famous water-bird species.

Eventually we jump back into the big boat and set off for the largest fresh water lake in SE Asia, Tonle Sap.

Dear Dad,

Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards.They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you.Yet as I selected and read,it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.

You'll soon be 84 years old,Dad,and you and I will have had 55 Father's Days together.I haven't always been with you on Father's Day but I've always been with you in my heart.

You know,Dad,there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap.You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.

The Father Daughter Duel shifted into high gear ( 档位) when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the '54 Chevy whether you liked it or not.The police officer who sent me home,after you reported the Chevy stolen,didn't have much tolerance for a stub?born 16 year old,while you were so tolerant about it,Dad,and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.

Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked,and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left.Somewhere along the line,the generation gap disappeared.I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together,rather like a fine wine.

But the strangest thing happened last week.I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car.It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car.It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere.Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.

I guess what I'm trying to say,Dad,is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today.Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking.It's about loving someone more than words can say,and it's wishing that never had to end.

I love you,Dad.

Love,

Jenny

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从41~60各小题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中,选出一个最佳答案。

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled(铺瓦) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is .

Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room I see is hair.” Once you’ve what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will make you happy. Then do one of the three things: Get it, replace it with a different , or forget about it and the tiles in your life that are not missing.

We all know people who have a relatively life, yet are essentially unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but remain happy.

The first is gratitude. All happy people are . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads people to becoming unhappy.

The second secret is that happiness is a byproduct of something else. The most obvious________are those pursuits that give our lives purpose—anything studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are to experience.

Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our ________ has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We ________ a spiritual faith, or a philosophy; it should this truth: if you choose to find the ________ in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is ________ your decision to make.

If you know exactly what you want, the best route to a job is to get specialized training.A recent survey shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training.

That’s especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers.At Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration, for example, bachelor’s degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement.Large companies, especially, like a background of formal education coupled with work experience.

But in the long run, too much specialization doesn’t pay off.Business, which has been flooded with MBAs, no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval.The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially, but the impact of a degree washes out after five years

As further evidence of the erosion(销蚀)of corporate(公司的)faith in specialized degrees, Michigan State’s Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices.Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires, they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management.“They want someone who isn’t constrained(限制)by nuts and bolts to look at the big picture, ” says Scheetz.

Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have:writing and communication skills, organizational skills, open-mindedness and adaptability, and the ability to analyze and solve problems.David Birch claims he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree, “I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things, ” says Birch.Liberal-arts means an academically thorough and strict program that includes literature, history, mathematics, economics, science, human behavior-plus a computer course or two.With that under your belt, you can feel free to specialize.“A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace, ” says Scheetz.

1. What kinds of people are in high demand on the job market?

A. Students with a bachelor’s degree in humanities.

B. People with an MBA degree from top universities.

C. People with formal schooling plus work experience

D. People with special training in engineering.

2.By saying “…but the impact of a degree washes out after five years”(Line 5, Para.3), the author means ________.

A. most MBA programs fail to provide students with a solid foundation

B. an MBA degree does not help promotion to managerial positions

C. MBA programs will not be as popular in five years’ time as they are now

D. in five people will forget about the degree the MBA graduates have got

3. David Birch claims that he only hires liberal-arts people because ________.

A. they are more capable of handling changing situations

B. they can stick to established ways of solving problems

C. they are thoroughly trained in a variety of specialized fields

D. they have attended special programs in management

4.Which of the following statements does the author support?

A. Specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists.

B. Formal schooling is less important than job training.

C. On-the-job training is, in the long run, less costly.

D. Generalists will outdo specialists in management.
