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．

I had the honor of being elected chief of my tribe(部落). With the title came great responsibility. It was my job to make peace with the Maori Tamaki tribe, whose village we visited. Their warriors leapt from a canoe and faced us down with fierce growls, bulging eyes and much swishing of sticks. They laid a palm frond on the ground and, as head honcho, I was compelled to accept this peace offering by picking it up, then touching noses with their chief. “Kia ora”, he said, welcoming us into the woodland home of his people.

My “tribe” was my New Zealand tour group, who had forced me into being their leader. We’d been warned that the ceremony was a serious occasion and that to laugh or even smile would be considered rude to the Tamaki. After that it was non-stop fun as they showed their ancient customs and I received instruction in performing the haka, the war dance by the All Blacks rugby team.

Then they pulled our dinner of lamb, beef and vegetables out of the ground. It had been slow-cooked in the heat that simmers just below the surface in the geothermal(地热的) area of North Island, a Maori tradition known as a hangi that goes back an extremely long period of time.

Obviously, this form of it is put on for tourists but it was hugely enjoyable. The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort, our hilarious Maori elder driver being deserving of his own television show. “The wheels on the bus go round and round,” he got us singing, while he circuited(绕……环行) a roundabout three times.

A couple of days from the end of my trip, there was still something missing, a New Zealand icon I yearned to see to make my grand tour complete. Riding over a hill, there it was – Aotearoa. The Maori name for New Zealand translates as “Land of the long white cloud”. Can I say “Kia ora, Aotearoa?” You bet I can.

1.Which refers to the Maori cooking custom?

A. Kia ora. B. Haka.

C. Tamaki. D. Hangi.

2.What does the author think of the driver?

A. He was good at singing.

B. He made the journey memorable.

C. He was not familiar with the road.

D. He performed well on a TV show.

3.What is the best title for the text?

A. A Taste of Maori Culture.

B. Hello, New Zealand

C. The Honor of Being a tribe Chief

D. The Best of New Zealand

Long nights of winter can leave even the most positive people feeling cranky(古怪的).But for about 5% of Americans, it’s more serious: seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that most occurs in the winter. Symptoms include loss of energy, eating more and difficulty in concentrating.

The cause of SAD is unknown, but darker days probably play a role. Reduced levels of natural sunlight can disrupt your body’s internal clock, which can lead to depression. It also causes a drop in serotonin (血清素)，a feel-good brain chemical. Severe cases may need antidepressant treatment. You can’t prevent the disorder from developing, but you can ease the symptoms.

Consider light therapy

Exposure to bright light that mimics(模仿)natural light is thought to affect mood-related brain chemicals and ease symptoms. It involves sitting in front of a special light box or wearing a cap-like lighted visor (盔甲)，for about 30 minutes a day. Another therapy uses a “dawn simulator” that is turned on early in the morning and gradually increases in brightness, allowing your body to wake up naturally. Light therapy can have minor side effects, such as eye strain and headaches, and it isn’t recommended for people with skin sensitivity.

Go outside

Yes, even if it’s cold and cloudy. Natural light is still good for you, and it can relieve your symptoms, especially if you head outdoors within two hours of waking up. At home, open the blinds and drapes to let in the light.

Eat right and exercise

Two health basics can help here, too. A well-balanced diet can improve energy levels, and regular physical activity works to boost your mood and ease stress and anxiety which can aggravate SAD symptoms.

Spend time with friends

Make an effort to see people you enjoy, even when you’re down. Staying connected to your social circle and participating in your regular activities can offer great support during the winter months.

1.Which of the following about SAD is NOT true?

A. It most occurs in the winter.

B. It may result in the absence of concentration.

C. It results from too much exposure to the sun.

D. Causes remain to be discovered.

2.Light therapy .

A. is of no use unless being exposed to the sun for about 30 minutes a day

B. is a good way to anyone

C. can prevent seasonal affective disorder from developing

D. doesn’t suit those with skin sensitivity

3.What does the underlined word “aggravate” mean in the passage?
