10．The American travel website company TripAdvisor publishes a list of the world's best beaches every year．Today，we are going to explore some of this year's top 10beaches in the world．
（1）Baia do Sancho，Brazil
It is named as this year's best beach in the world．Its water is calm and clear．Its sand is fine and soft．But getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy．It is on Fernando de Noronha，a volcanic island more than 300kilometers off Brazil's coast．Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there．And no more than 420 visitors can be on the island at one time．
（2）Grace Bay，Turks and Caicos
While Baia do Sancho is difficult to get to，Trip Advisor's second-ranked beach could not be much easier for tourists to reach．
This beach has impossibly clean and clear waters and pure white sand．Its calm waters make it extremely safe for swimming，snorkeling，or simply floating．Once on land，many visitors enjoy walking-barefoot-for several kilometers on the soft，warm sand．
（3）Eagle Beach，Aruba
To get to the third-best beach，we head south to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba．Like Grace Bay，Eagle Beach has clear，calm waters and soft white sand．
It offers visitors a chance to try different water sports，including tubing and jet skiing．Eagle Beach may be best known，however，for its dramatic sunsets．On clear nights，the sky tums red，orange，and purple．
（4）Playa Paraiso，Cuba
The fourth-best beach is Playa Paraiso，an island off of Cuba's southern coast．It has a fun，laid-back restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink．There is little else on the beach．And that is exactly what visitors like about it．People come here for the sugar-like sand and calm waters filled with colorful wildlife．

21．Which of the following best describes Baia do Sancho？D
A．It receives many visitors daily．
B．It can only be visited by plane．
C．It is near the Brazil's coast．

I can still remember clearly the day after I had my first exam in Senior High．I didn't pass them．I was so scared that I even don't want to go to school any more．My parents looked my test paper calmly but said，"My child，we're very glad you has finished half of it and you can do better next time．We never expect you to do the best at a very beginning．We strong believe you can make progress gradually．"What they said made me to feel I could do things well．From then on，I have concentrated much on my studies．Now I'm always filling with confidence in my studies because I know my parents are always behind me．

6．In the United States，when one becomes rich，he wants people to know it．And even if he does not become very rich，he wants people to think that he is．That is what"Keeping up with the Joneses"is about．It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich as his neighbors．
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand．He told this story about himself．He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23．That was a lot of money in those days．He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City．When he saw that rich people rode horses，Momand went horseback riding every day．When he saw that rich people had servants，Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors．It was like a race，but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up．The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life．They moved back to an apartment （公寓房间） in New York City．
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors．He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories．He called it‘‘Keeping up with the Joneses"，because"Jones"is a very common name in the United States．"Keeping up with the Joneses"came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you．Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years．
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses．And there are"Joneses"in every city of the world．But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does，Mr．Jones always seems to be ahead．

5．I've always felt a need to be prepared for whatever situation I've found myself in．
My mother once took me to a store when I was seven years old．She and I got to the checkout counter，and she realized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list．She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed．
"I'll be right back．"she said．
She was gone just a few minutes，but at that time，I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up．I was left staring at the cashier，who was staring at me．"Do you have money for me，son？"she said．"I'll need to be paid．"
I didn't realize she was just trying to please herself．So I stood there，ashamed and embarrassed．
By the time my mom returned，I was angry．"You left me here with no money!This lady asked me for the money，and I had nothing to give her．"
Now that I'm an adult，you'll never catch me with less than $200 in my wallet．I want to be prepared in case I need it．
I've always admired people who are over-prepared．In college，I had a classmate named Norman．One day he was giving a speech on an overhead projector（投影仪） and in the middle of his talk，the light bulb（灯泡）on the projector blew out．We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new projector．
"It's Okay．"he announced．"There's nothing to worry about．"
We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out．He had brought along a spare bulb for the overhead projector．Who could even think of that？
I often told my students，"When you go into the wilderness，the only thing you can depend on is what you take with you．"And essentially，the wilderness is anywhere but your home or office．So take money．Pack a light bulb．Be prepared．

25．Why did the cashier ask a seven-year-old boy to pay for the purchases？D
A．The boy was shopping by himself．
B．The boy's mother asked her to do so．
C．The boy's mother was away for something else．
D．The cashier was playing a joke on him．
26．Why was the boy angry with his mother？B
A．His mother left him alone．
B．He lost face in front of the cashier．
C．His mother forgot to buy something．
D．He had just quarreled with the cashier．
27．Why did Norman bring a spare bulb with him？A
A．He was always well-prepared．
B．His speech was about bulbs．
C．He knew the classroom equipment was of poor quality．
D．He knew the bulb on the projector would blow out．
28．What do the two stories tell us？C
A．Accidents happen almost every day．
B．Money is the key that opens all doors．
C．In fair weather，prepare for a rainy day．
D．Chances favor those who are well-prepared．

2．The school is widely admired for its excellent teaching．

1．Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions（使命）often work very long days．Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day's work．This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station（ISS）．ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year．They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible．Weekends give the crew valuable．Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework．They can communicate with family and friends by email，internet phone and through private video conferences．
While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit，there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy．Before a mission．The family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos，messages，videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370kilometers above the Earth．During their mission，the crew also receives care packages with CDs，books，magazines，photos and letters．And as from early 2010，the internet became available on the ISS，giving astronauts the chance to do some"web surfing（冲浪）"in their personal time．Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments，astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space．
Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth's vast land mass and oceans．
