Top Eco Destinations in the World for 2009

Have you spent hours searching the web for an eco-friendly holiday that suits your budget or ideals? Then look no further because online travel planning resource, Professional Travel Guide, recently revealed(透露) their top choices for eco-travelers this year. Here are just some of their recommendations:

1. Africa: Madagascar

Home to a variety of animals found nowhere else on the planet, Madagascar is a must-go destination for anyone interested in the natural world. Lemurs(狐猴) and baobab trees account for just some of the unique flora(植物群) and fauna(动物群) entrapped on this wonderful island.

2. America: St John (US Virgin Islands)

Though it’s the smallest of the US Virgin Islands, St John has a remarkably varied landscape. Virgin Islands National Park makes up two-thirds of its landmass, where visitors can hike in deep ravines(山谷), over tropical mountains and across arid coastal areas. Don’t overlook the beaches and coral reefs – it’s a Caribbean island.

3. Europe：Iceland

As one might expect from a country whose name is “ice”, Iceland’s landscape is rugged（崎岖不平的）and harsh（粗糙的）. Take a hike past lava fields, glaciers and waterfalls and marvel at the wildlife (puffins) and natural wonders (hot springs and geysers) akin to this barren landscape. Visit between fall and spring to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

72. We learn from the text that Professional Travel Guide is ____________.

A. a website offering travel information

B. an organization that administrates travel

C. a travel agent that offers free information

D. a place where tourists present their opinion

73. The US Virgin Islands are well worth a visit because _________.

A. it belongs to a Caribbean island B. National Park covers most islands

C. the landscape is very impressive D. visitors can have a view of ravines

74. Why are readers advised to visit Iceland between fall and spring?

A. They can watch the wildlife such as puffins.

B. They can take a hike through the lava fields.

C. They can experience waterfalls and hot springs.

D. They can enjoy the beauty of the Northern Lights.

75. What is the main purpose of the text?

A. To inform how to save money on travel.

B. To recommend some eco-travel destinations.

C. To provide some advice on economical travel.

D. To introduce the benefit of traveling at weekends.

I was watching Sportscenter last night when one of those “human interest” stories came on and really caught my attention.

The story was about a 27-year-old professional Bass Fisherman named Clay Dyer. At first, they played it off as another guy trying to make the cut on the Bassmaster tour until they showed a picture of him. No legs, no arm, or rather, he has only 1/3 of his right arm. That’s all that he has.

It was such an amazing story that I was wondering what this guy could do. Growing up, he learned to play baseball and basketball, but found that fishing was his true calling. And he does it all on his own. He holds the fishing pole under his chin and uses that and his stub (残端) arm to cast and reel in(收进) the fish. He uses his teeth to help him unhook fish. He ties his own hooks or lures on with his mouth, never really asking anyone else to help. Clay Dyer even knows how to swim. Since his body can’t produce enough sweat on its own, he has to take a dip in the lake every few hours to keep cool. He dives in just like anyone else, then somehow treads water(踩水) with his stub arm, then, with a little help, pulls himself back up into the boat and goes on fishing.

Clay Dyer has never looked for others’ pity, nor has he allowed his physical disabilities to prevent him from becoming a professional fisherman. His motto for life is "If I can, you can." He refuses to use special equipment, saying, "I want to do it with one hand the way they do it with two."

56. Why did the author become interested in Clay Dyer?

A. He assumed Dyer was living happily.

B. He took great pity on this disabled man.

C. He wanted to know what Dyer could do.

D. He thought that Dyer could do nothing.

57. While fishing, Dyer dives into the lake from time to time _________.

A. to change the lures（鱼饵） B. to do some exercise

C. to cast a fishing line D. to cool himself down

58. We learn from the last paragraph that _________.

A. Dyer aims to behave like a normal person

B. physical disabilities fail to destroy his faith

C. special equipment is allowed when fishing

D. it seems easy for Clay Dyer to go fishing

59. Which word best describes Clay Dyer’s personality?

A. Diligent. B. Inspiring. C. Faithful. D. Stubborn.

How to Make the Most of Your Time

Time management is important in our daily life. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to accomplish all you need to do. Here are some tips that might be of some help to you.
1. Set up a plan. Go for a week at a time, and prioritize the most important ones. Include things you want to accomplish. Focus mostly on the things that are important to you.

2. Control your stress. No matter what kind of pressure mounts on you, try to keep cool. Stressing out can lead to an early breakdown, which is definitely counter-productive when you have a list of things to do. It's easier to take a 10-minute break and cool off than work all week with built up stress.

3. Shut your door. When working under a schedule, perform your important tasks with your door shut to get them done. This will ensure a better quality time to get what needs to be done, done.

4. Focus on one thing at a time. Forget trying to multi-task! You will lose concentration, and it will take you longer to accomplish what you set out to do.
5. Just say "no." If you are constantly interrupted, and you really don't have the time to help out, just say "no." You're only one person, and you can't save the world by yourself!
6. Stop wasting time on the phone. While talking on the phone, keep your conversations short, and to the point and you'll waste much less time.
7. Be realistic. You can only do what you can do. Don't set out to accomplish the impossible. Do your best, but keep realistic expectations of yourself.

8. Relax. The most important thing is remember to take time to relax, and regroup. You need a break every now and then to keep working efficiently. Even if it's a 10-minute walk, get away from your list and get refreshed.
As families today get busier and busier, it's important to your own mental health to keep things on track. Don't delay; get your life in order now.

68. What does the underlined word “prioritize” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. choose something by thinking carefully

B. recognize the difference between things

C. put many things in order of importance

D. get rid of something that is unwanted

69. We should avoid stressing out because ____________.

A. it may cause us to fail to work normally

B. it may limit the speed to get things done

C. we don’t have enough energy to keep working

D. we are supposed to have a break while working

70. Which statement would the author agree to?

A. Try multi-tasks, and we can get more done.

B. It is impolite to refuse to help others at work.

C. Having breaks regularly may delay our tasks.

D. It is wise to be aware of what we can achieve.

71. By writing the text, the author would like to ___________.

A. ask readers to share their time management skills

B. offer some advice on how to make full use of time

C. invite readers to discuss how to improve life quality

D. persuade readers to spend less time on daily routine
