New Zealand is made up of two main islands that lie in the South Pacific Ocean. Mountains, glaciers and volcanoes make the islands beautiful to visit and explore.
Auckland
Auckland was first settled by Maori tribes around 1350. By the time European settlers arrived in 1840, it was almost deserted. Today, Auckland is New Zealand’s largest and fastest growing city. Located between two coasts, Auckland has many harbors and is said to have the most pleasure boats per person of any city in the world. The Sky Tower is the city’s most distinctive landmark. At 1,076 feet tall, the tower is the tallest building in the southern hemisphere（半球）!
Wellington
Wellington is New Zealand’s capital city. It is home to the Parliament building and many other cultural treasures. The city rests between rolling green hills and a wide waterfront. A highlight of the city’s arts, cultural and historical attractions is Te Papa, the national museum. It is
one of the largest national museums in the world and holds many Maori pieces, including a carved meetinghouse. It also displays the original Treaty of Waitangi.
Christchurch
Christchurch is the largest city in New Zealand’s South Island. In the past, the city was centered on agriculture. Today it is a refined modern city.

When the brothers climbed on top of their canoe, freezing wind turned them to stone. The canoe became the South Island and Aoraki and his brothers became the peaks of the mountains. Aoraki/Mount Cook is where famous New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary trained before he made his historic trip up Mount Everest.

more parents will benefit from reading it.
During the ceremony, Fang also shared her valuable experiences about raising young children and gave multiple practical suggestions. Fang expressed her hope that her new book would lead more parents to realize the importance of educating youngsters and more children would become superior in their own fields when they grow up.
A well-known female educational expert and writer shared her feelings after reading Fang’s book. She believed that the role of being a good mother is vital for children’s education. The author left China for America to study for a doctorate degree 28 years ago. She not only achieved her own self-realization in her career but also brought up three children who have all been enrolled in Harvard University. In a word, this mother is really extraordinary.
A famous psychological expert also talked about her feelings after reading Fang’s book at the event. She said that the healthy emotions between a mother and her child are of much significance in their daily lives, which would help young children develop a good habit of studying at a young age. Fang has done very well in this aspect.

There’s nothing like a wagging（摇摆）tail to cheer you up after a bad day. Science even shows that dogs may reduce feelings of anxiety and loneliness. But our furry friends don’t only contribute to our good moods—they might even be able to recognize them. New research shows that dogs may be able to tell when we’re happy just by looking at our faces.
The study, published in the journal Current Biology, rewarded a group of dogs for recognizing both happy and angry faces. Each dog was individually shown only the eyes, the mouths, or the left half of the faces of smiling and angry humans. One group of animals saw the same faces they were trained with, and the others were given new faces to look at during the test. In the study, scientists rewarded half of the dogs for recognizing happy faces and the other half for recognizing angry ones.
In their results, the scientists saw one main trend: The dogs who were rewarded for the smiling faces learned to distinguish between the two feelings faster than the ones that were
rewarded for frowning faces. The paper points out that we’d expect these outcomes if the dogs had been punished when shown the angry faces, but they were actually rewarded for both frowning and smiling faces. The bottom line? The results of the study may be a sign that dogs not only notice
a difference in our facial expressions, but might even understand them to a certain extent. So next time you see your dog wagging his tail, go ahead and smile back.
29. What does the word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. anxiety and loneliness B. dogs’ owners
C. dogs D. our good moods
30. Why are a group of dogs rewarded according to the study published in Current Biology?
A. They can wag their tails.
B. They can make their owners happy.
C. They can recognize both happy and angry faces.
D. They can remember the shown eyes and mouths.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Our dogs know when we’re happy.
B. During the test, all the dogs were given new faces to look at.
C. The dogs rewarded for the frowning faces learned to distinguish the two feelings faster.
D. The results of the study prove that dogs understand our facial expressions to a certain extent.

SAN FRANCISCO（AP）—Samsung says new Galaxy Note 7 smartphones will be available in U. S. stores starting Wednesday to replace about 1 million devices that are being recalled because their batteries can catch fire.
The South Korean company has been scrambling to fix problems caused by faulty batteries in the latest version of its top-of-the-line smartphone, which first went on sale last month.
When it first offered on Sept. 2 to replace the affected Note 7 phones, Samsung said it would swap them for models of its other phones, such as the Galaxy S7, until supplies of replacement Note 7 devices became available.
Samsung followed up last week by announcing that U.S. consumers who had purchased one of the recalled phones could choose between a replacement or a refund for the device, which sells for about $850. That offer was jointly announced with officials at the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission after Samsung was criticized for not coordinating more closely with the commission.
Safety officials have urged Note 7 owners to turn off their phones and return them immediately. They cited reports of Note 7 batteries overheating in the United States, including 26 instances where individuals were burned and 55 that caused property damage.
The problem doesn’t affect all Note 7 phones, because Samsung uses batteries from different suppliers. But the company has said about 2.5 million devices may he affected worldwide, including 1 million sold in the United States.
Samsung also said it’s pushing out two software updates through wireless carriers. One will show a green battery icon to confirm that a Note 7 device is a new one that doesn’t have the battery problem. The other will display a short notice to owners of older phones covered by the recall, telling them to turn off their device and take it in for a replacement.
About a quarter of affected phones had been exchanged in the United States by Tuesday, according to a spokeswoman for Samsung’s U. S. subsidiary. She was unable to say how many Note 7 buyers sought refunds, but said “the vast majority” received a different Samsung phone as a replacement.
32. What’s wrong with the affected Note 7 phones?
A. The price of them is too high. B. Their batteries can catch fire.
C. They are similar to iphone 7.
D. They have problems with their earphones.
33. What can a U.S. consumer who had purchased one of the recalled phones do according to Samsung’s announcement?
A. To sell his/her recalled phone to others for about $ 850.
B. To choose a replacement and a refund for his/her recalled phone.
C. To return the recalled phone and get a replacement or a refund（about $ 850）for the device.
D. To use the recalled phone to replace a Galaxy S7 first and then one of the new Note 7 devices for free.
34. How many affected phones had been exchanged in the United States by Tuesday?
A. About 0.25 million. B. About 0. 625 million.
C. About 0. 875 million. D. About 1 million.
35. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The Galaxy S7 devices are the safest.
B. The Note 7 phones sold in China are safe.
C. The Note 7 phones used batteries from different suppliers never have the same problems.
D. At least 81 cases of Note 7 batteries overheating were reported in the United States.

Tips to Fight Allergies（过敏症）
About one in five people suffer from some kind of allergy, according to a new survey. Seasonal allergies are the most common. While not as severe as food and insect allergies, they can interfere with daily life. Here are some tips to fight allergies.
● 36 At least you should wash fruits carefully. When possible, cook fruits and/or avoid eating fruit peels （皮）. Symptoms of pollen-food （花粉食品）allergy syndrome typically occur when you eat fruit—including its peel—in its raw form. So by peeling or cooking fruit, you can lessen or completely avoid any reaction.
● Keep your hair clean. 37 Hair gels and pastes cause the hair to become a pollen magnet（磁铁）.
● 38 Going to bed swaddled in the pollen and mold that your clothing, skin, and hair picked up throughout the day may be the problem. If you can’t bathe at night, make sure you at least wash your face at night, giving your eye area some special attention.
● Stay inside during and directly after thunderstorms and keep house windows shut. 39__ However, thunderstorms actually stir up pollen.
● Bath your dog regularly and avoid allowing your pet to lay in bed with you. Just because that you aren’t allergic to your pet doesn’t mean that they won’t make you sneeze and sniffle.
__40
A. Wash fruits thoroughly.
B. If possible, bathe at night.
C. Pollen is the biggest cause of allergies.
D. Gentle drizzles（毛毛细雨）can decrease pollen counts.
E. Use as few hair products as possible or wash hair every day.
F. A long, cold winter has worsened seasonal allergies for many people.
G. After being outside, your dog can bring pollen, mold, and other allergens into your home.
