If you plan on visiting Fiji, you are probably looking for some fun things to do.

The Poseidon Undersea Resort

The Poseidon Undersea Resort is an underwater resort that gives visitors a beautiful view of marine life. This resort covers 255 acres. It’s covered and surrounded by a lagoon (环礁湖) that covers 5,000 acres and is about 90 feet underwater, giving you a beautiful view of marine life right before your eyes. This resort even has a hotel for those who would prefer to have the unusual experience of sleeping and waking to the beautiful scenery all around them.

The Sabeto Mud Pool

If you’re looking for something unusual to do, you can’t pass up the mud pool at Sabeto. It is located in a mountain range with a huge group of geothermal (地热的) pools full of nice, warm mud. Getting down and into the mud in the pool is believed to have benefits for healthy skin. This is unusual, but adults and especially kids will love it.

Fire Walking

Fire walking in Fiji is believed to have originated on the island of Beau. Fire walking refers to the activity of walking on white-hot stones barefoot. To do this, you have to be mentally prepared for it. Trust me; there are a lot of preparations and strict rules that travelers should follow in order to do this safely.

The Fiji Museum

The Fiji Museum is unusual due to all the amazing artifacts you’ll see dating back 3,000---4,000 years. This museum has a certain attraction that makes it funny---a shoe. It’s been said that a man named Thomas Baker was eaten by the locals several centuries ago and the only thing left was his shoe. This museum is a great idea if you bring the whole family to Fiji.

Ask a teacher to name the most annoying invention of recent years and they will often mention the mobile phone. Disturbed by the problems they create, many head teachers have ordered that pupils should keep their phones switched off at school. Others have told pupils to leave them at home.

However, education researchers at The University of Nottingham believe it is time that phone bans were reassessed, because mobile phones can be a powerful learning aid, they say. Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young and her colleagues have reached this conclusion after studying the consequences of allowing pupils in five secondary schools to use either their own mobile phones or the new generation of ‘smartphones’ in lessons.

During the nine-month experiment, 14- to-16-year-old pupils used the phones for a wide range of educational purposes, including creating short movies, setting homework reminders, recording a teacher reading a poem, and timing experiments with the phones’ stopwatches. The smartphones, which could be connected to the Internet, also allowed pupils to access revision websites, log into the school email system, or transfer (转存) electronic files between school and home.

The research involved 331 pupils in schools in Cambridgeshire, West Berkshire and Nottingham. “At the start of the study, even pupils were often surprised at the thought that mobile phones could be used for learning,” Dr Hartnell-Young said. “After their hands-on experience, almost all pupils said they had enjoyed the project and felt more inspired.”

Some teachers found that pupils who lacked confidence gained most from the project. However, they recognized that greater use of mobile phones in schools could cause problems.

1.We can infer from the first paragraph that .

A. teachers are strongly against students owning mobile phones

D. were surprised that they were allowed to use mobile phones in schools

3.Who benefited most from the project?

B. Pupils who were not confident.

C. Younger pupils.

D. Pupils who were confident.
