首先，请阅读下列应用文：

Great Swimming Adventures

Go Wild on an Art Safari

Perfect for art lovers, this is a painting holiday in a fantastically unspoiled setting — Malawi. With good tuition and surrounded by the beautiful scenery, sites and sounds of this African country art holidays don’t get much better.

Exploring the Deep Blue Sea

If you love the ocean why not take a deep water expedition, with trips in submersibles (潜水器) to wrecks (失事船) such as the Bismark, the Titanic and the HMS Breadalbane under the Arctic. Plus see amazing marine life — for holidays offering real adventure these are hard to beat.

请阅读以下度假者的信息，然后匹配他或她适合的假期生活：

1. Glen has always shown his strong attraction to the sea. His father used to be a sailor and often tells him some interesting stories on wrecks. Glen wishes he would become a sailor just like his father and that he could take real water adventures some day. Perhaps he will have a chance to refloat those famous wrecks in history.

2. Melvin, a born “artist”, enjoys painting very much. His parents give him much support and encourage him to study hard so as to be successful as painter.

3.While others go to school by bike or by bus, Wendy always goes to school on foot, which she thinks is important and necessary to keep fit. This summer, her family are planning to take a holiday abroad without taking any vehicles. The destination is likely to be a country of southeast Europe to enjoy the beautiful scenery there.

4.Boris is always dreaming of flying to the moon one day in the future. He always worships those who have ever had an adventure in space. Of course, it is, as he himself knows, not so easy to realize such a big dream, for that needs to be athletic enough to get trained in all ways before going into space.

5.Emma likes drawing very much, but she has hardly considered to be an artist one day. Instead, she wishes to be admitted to a famous university and learn the science of designing and constructing buildings, which also needs one’s ability of drawing.

Chocolate is good for your heart, skin and brain. Usually, people think that chocolate is bad for their health. They describe chocolate as “something to die for” or say “death by chocolate”. Now they should bite their tongues! Evidence(证据) is showing that some kinds of chocolate are actually good for you in the following ways:

A happier heart

Scientists at Harvard University recently examined 136 studies on cocoa—the main ingredient in chocolate and found that it does seem to strengthen the heart. Studies have shown heart benefits from increased blood flow. These benefits are the result of cocoa’s chemicals, which seem to prevent both cell damage and inflammation(炎症).

Better blood pressure

If yours is high, chocolate may help. Jeffrey Blumberg from Tufts University recently 

found that people with high blood pressure who ate 3.5 ounces of dark chocolate 

per day for two weeks their blood pressure drop quickly.

Muscle magic

Chocolate milk may help you recover after a hard workout(锻炼). In a small study at Indiana University, people who drank chocolate milk between workouts did better on a tiredness test than those who had some sports drinks.

Better for your skin. German researchers gave 24 women a half-cup of special cocoa every day. After three months, the women’s skin was moister(滑润的)and smoother. The research shows that chocolate helps protect and increase blood flow to the skin, improving its appearance.

Brain gains

It sounds almost too good to be true, but research suggests that chocolate may improve your memory, attention span, reaction time, and problem-solving by increasing blood flow to the brain.
