Famous resorts (度假胜地) on the earth

Maldives is famed as the last paradise (乐园) on the earth. It's made up of more than 1,800 coral islands, spreading over a sea area of about 90 thousand square kilometers on the Indian Ocean. People in Maldives believe in Islam. They must observe the religious rules strictly. However, tourists don't need to follow these customs inside hotels, but they must do as the locals when they enter the community of the local people.

Here all the luxury (奢侈品) brands are free of duty. Every

Every year thousands of tourists come here to admire the beauty of the tropic sea and the charming scene of the Great Barrier Reef.

When I spent the summer with my grandmother, she always set me down to the general store with a list. Behind the counter(柜台) was a lady like no one I’d ever seen.
“Excuse me,” I said. She looked up and said, “I’m Miss Bee.”
“I need to get these.” I said, holding up my list. “So? Go and get them. ” Miss Bee pointed to a sign. “There’s no one here except you and me and I’m not your servant, so get yourself a basket from that pile.”
I visited Miss Bee twice a week that summer. Sometimes she shortcharged me, and other times she overcharged. Going to the store was like going into battle. All summer long she found ways to trick me. No sooner had I learned how to pronounce “bicarbonate of soda” and memorized its location on the shelves than she made me hunt for it all over again. But by summer’s end the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes.
“All right, little girl,” she said. “What did you learn this summer?” “That you’re a meanie!” I replied. Miss Bee just laughed and said, “I know what you think of me. Well, I don’t care! My job is to teach every child I meet life lessons. When you get older you’ll be glad!” Glad I met Miss Bee? Ha! The idea was absurd…
Until one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles. “It’s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problems for me?”
“If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” I said. Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way to add up my bill by myself. Had I ever been overcharged since?

Do you know what Fear and Faith have in common? Fear believes in a negative future. Faith believes in a positive future. Both believe in something that has not yet happened. So I ask you, if neither the positive nor negative future has happened yet then why not choose to believe in the positive future?
I believe during these challenging times we have a choice between two roads: the positive road and the negative road. And our bus can’t be on two roads at the same time. So we have to make a choice and this choice determines our belief about the future and the attitude and actions we bring to the present.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t have any fear. There are times when fear is a gift. A healthy dose(剂量) of fear causes us to examine our situation and plan for the future. It moves us to smell the cheese and expect change. When used wisely it allows us to manage risk and make better decisions. Some fear is good.
However, what I have observed lately is a supersized, huge dose of fear that is spreading the hearts and minds of far too many people. This oversized fear is causing leaders and their organizations to either act unreasonably or to not act at all. They are either hurrying in a million different directions because of fear. In both cases, fear is leading them to take the negative road to failure.
The answer is the positive road paved (铺满) with faith and a belief that your best days are not behind you but ahead of you. With this belief you make the right choices and actions today that will create your positive future tomorrow. You stay calm, focused and committed to your purpose. You look for ways to save money and cut costs without making unreasonable fear-based decisions that sacrifice(牺牲) your future success. You identify opportunities in the midst of the challenges and you focus on solutions instead of problems.
Your faith and belief in a positive future leads to powerful actions today. The future has not happened yet and you have a say in what it looks like by the way you think and act. Fear or Faith. The choice is yours.
29. According to the passage, we can know that ________.
A. both Fear and Faith trust something in the future
B. Fear and Faith have nothing in common
C. neither negative nor positive future will happen
D. people usually choose to believe in the positive future
30. What does the writer mean by saying “our bus can’t be on two roads”?
A. We must choose either a positive or negative road
B. We should choose the positive road
C. We usually choose the negative road
D. Our belief about the future depends on our choice
31. If we have faith in future, we will ________.
A. have the best days ahead of us B. be committed to saving money
C. stay away from any challenges D. take powerful actions today
32. What does the writer intend to tell us in the passage?
A. Fear is closely related to faith.
B. We should have faith in a positive future.
C. Life is full of fear and faith.
D. Wrong decisions sacrifice our future success.
D
Traditionally, patients who want to improve their heart health have received four main suggestions from their doctors: Eat a healthy diet, get more exercise, quit smoking, and enjoy proper amounts of alcohol. Plenty of research backs up these four pieces of advice: Large studies have found that making improvements in these four areas lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 67 percent.
But lately, researchers are starting to recognize that there should be five recommendations on that list, not just four. They’re discovering that getting enough sleep is a powerful health protector as well. When researchers include enough sleep in their studies as a fifth cardio-preventive behavior change, they find that it lowers the chance of dying of heart disease even more: Adding a good seven hours of sleep a night in addition to making positive changes in diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol intake lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 83 percent.
When that news started coming out, doctors began adding sleep onto their list of recommended health behavior changes. But as an expert in heart disease, I don’t think sleep belongs at the bottom of the list. I think it should be at the top. I believe that getting enough sleep – at least seven to eight hours per night for most people –is the most important health behavior change you can make to improve the health of your heart and your overall health.
Sure, I’d prefer that everyone make all of the big five lifestyle changes, but if I could only choose one, I’d pick sleep because when you are well-rested, you have more power to make the right choices about what you eat and drink, and you have more energy to exercise and kick bad habits such as smoking and overeating. But when you’re exhausted, everything in life is more difficult.
33. What does plenty of research show about the 4 common suggestions?
A. They should be reconsidered.
B. They help improve people’s health.
C. They are not as helpful as expected.
D. They are the best ways found so far.
34. How did the doctors react to the news on sleep?
A. They just ignored it.
B. They discussed it publicly.
C. They thought it made sense.
D. They totally changed their mind.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. What the importance of a healthy lifestyle is.
B. Why different factors need to work together.
C. What prevents people from living healthily.
D. Why the author makes sleep his No. 1 suggestion.

Sometimes people can have fights, but friendship is a valuable gift. 36 But with a little effort to step outside of your comfort zone(舒适区), you can easily make friends. Here you can find some places to make new friends.
Join an organization or a club. This is a great way to find other people who have common interests. 37 In fact, some of the most valuable friendships are between two people who don’t have much in common at all. However, if you like a specific topic, try finding a place where you can meet people who share that interest.
38 A common mistake is that you have to be really good at playing a special sport in order to make friends with others on the team. In fact, as long as you enjoy the sport and support your teammates, joining a team with a relaxed attitude could be a great way to make new friends.
Volunteer. Volunteering is also a good way for people of all ages to meet others. By working together, you’ll build relationships with people. 39
Make yourself available. If you want to make friends, you first need to put yourself out there somehow to meet people. 40 It doesn’t have to be a crowded table, but one with at least two other people. Remember, friends seldom come knocking on your door while you sit alone at home.
A. Join a sports team.
B. If you’re still in school, sit somewhere with other people.
C. Do well in sport in order to make new friends.
D. Sometimes, good friends are hard to find.
E. You don’t need to have lots of common interests with people to make friends with them.
F. It is not easy at all to get along with new friends when you study in a middle school.
G. So you can devote your time to a local nursing home or a hospital.
