AlbertaThis Canadian destination will bring out the explorer in anyone who visits. From hiking and whitewater rafting to skiing and snowboarding, Ba

11、nff offers travelers an abundance of year-round outdoor activities. The Lake Louise Ski Resort is one of the largest in North America and the striking photo opportunities of the Canadian Rockies from Moraine Lake cant be underestimated (低估).Machu PicchuAccording to travelers, a visit to this Peruvia

12、n UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) site is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Located in the Andes Mountains, it is the most familiar icon (象征物) of Inca civilization. Spend a few days accustoming yourself to the altitude in the neighboring city of Cusco, where you can experience a mix of Incan and Spanish cu

Travelers can see these

16、ust take a plane to enjoy its beauty.D. It may disappear if temperature keeps on rising.BWhen my sister Mertie told me she had put out tomato plants last summer, I was quite impressed.Since she was a garden-beginner, Mertie researched exactly how far apart to space her tomato plants; what kind of fe

17、rtilizer to use; how to keep away the bugs, etc. Once they were planted, she took care of them daily, anxiously awaiting the juicy tomatoes to appear. But, day after day, her plants were tomato-less while all of her neighbors who had also put out tomato plants were already enjoying the fruit of thei

18、r labor.Frustrated, Mertie gave in and went to the market to search fresh tomatoes. While paying, Mertie told the farmer her troubles. The farmer paused to think for a moment and then asked, “Well, what kind of tomatoes did you plant?”“I think they were called Big Boy,” Mertie remembered.“Well there

19、s your problem,” the farmer explained. “Big Boy and Better Boy tomatoes have a 95-day growing period whereas regular tomato plants produce fruit in as few as 70 daysyou just have to wait a little longer for the Big Boys.”With that new knowledge, Mertie went home with excitement, knowing they would b

20、e worth the wait.Thinking about my sisters gardening experience, I had to smile. She just didnt know that Big Boy tomatoes took longer-neither did I-but once she discovered that information, she was no longer discouraged and upset about the lack of tomatoes on her plants. Instead, she was encouraged

21、 and excited to see them a few weeks later.It makes me wonder how many of us have “Big Boy” dreams in our hearts, yet we just dont realize that they are of the “Big Boy” variety so we are discouraged and worn out with the waiting process. Instead of waiting with excitement, we give up on our dreams

22、and figure we must have done something wrong to stop them from coming to pass. Frustrated, we see other peoples dreams coming true, and we wonder why ours havent yet been achieved.24.

23、art.C. Watering them regularly.D. Controlling pests on them.25. Why did Merties tomato plants fail to produce at the expected time?A. Because they were destroyed by her neighbors. B.

Its better late than never.B. A bad beginning makes a bad ending.C. Success sometimes needs a little patience. D. A bird in the ha

25、nd is worth two in the bush.COne of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled with this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something

26、 But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and f

27、ound that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)-holding back from saying something until youve “checked” to make sure that what youre about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you dont know how to

28、change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. Its fun to realize that youre allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you dont say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the “Oh! That

29、s interesting” “Hmm, Ive never heard of that” “Hmm, cool!” expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that youre really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, theyll hang around and want to talk to you even more. Everyone know

30、s that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if its not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.2

31、8. If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .A. train their working skill B. improve their life qualityC. enrich their social life D. establish their working relationship29. When talking with others, we should . A. feel nervous B. think twice C. be free to express D. avoid breaking in30

32、. According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?A. The attractive topics of conversation. B. The atmosphere of the conversation.C. The listeners experiences and tastes. D. The listeners curiosity and concern.31. What does the underlined part “juice-up conversations” mean?A. making c

33、onversations more boring B. making conversations livelier C. making conversations smoother D. making conversations more relaxing DForcing waiters and waitresses to survive on tips from customers rather than normal wages is a pointless, crude, and unique American custom that, in the past several year

34、s, a handful of progressive restaurant owners have attempted to do away with. Danny Meyer, CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group, is about to join their ranks and has announced that he plans to gradually stop tipping at the companys 13 restaurants.What, exactly, is wrong with tipping? As Brian Palme

35、r has explained, more or less its everything. To start, leaving a waiters pay in the hands of customers has a feeling of classism (阶级歧视)And in theory, handing restaurant customers the power to tip is at least supposed to motivate better service. This fails in practice because humans turn out to be p

36、retty arbitrary (随意的) about their tipping behavior. Research has shown that the amount diners tip has very little to do with their level of satisfaction. All of this doesnt encourage waiters and waitresses to do anything but turn over as many tables as possible.Tipping is also very unfair to kitchen

37、 staff. The law allows restaurants to divide tips between front-of-the-house workers like waiters, hosts, hostesses, and bartenders (调酒师), but not cooks. This creates a system in which the people serving the food in a restaurant can earn more than the people preparing itOne of the most fascinating p

38、arts of Meyers move is that, unlike some restaurant owners who have taken an anti-tipping stand, he wont simply add a standard extra charge to diners bills. Rather, Union Square Hospitality Group means to raise menu prices enough to fully cover the cost of a meal. If Meyer manages to move away from

39、tipping at all without hurting his profits, it would almost certainly set the stage for others to follow suit.32. Whats Danny Meyer s attitude towards stopping tipping?A. Negative.B. Supportive.C. Objective.D. Doubtful.33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Tipping may disturb the restaurants

40、management.B. Tipping will guarantee diners high quality service.C. Tipping can arouse the staffs enthusiasm for workD. Tipping will bring customers a sense of satisfaction.34. What can we know about Union Square Hospitality group?A. Brian Palmer is in charge of it now.B. Its cooks earn much more th

41、an its servers.C. Restaurant tipping has been totally banned there.D. Diners will be charged more for the dishes there.35. What is the topic of the passage?A. Restaurants getting rid of tipping.B. Difficulties that restaurants are faced with.C. The popularity of no-tipping restaurants.D. Tips on run

K. drivers stay on the left, but theyre not the only ones. 36. Originally, almost everybody traveled on the left sid

43、e of the road. However, their way of transport was quite different from today: 37. For medieval swordsmen on horseback, it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to their enemies. Getting on or off was also easier from the left side of the horse, and safer done by the side of

44、 the road than in the center. 38. Things changed in the late 1700s when large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses were used to transport farm products in France and the United States. In the absence of a drivers seat inside the wagon, the driver sat behind the left horse, with his right arm fre

45、e to use his whip to keep the horses moving. Since he was sitting on the left, he wanted other wagons to pass on his left. 39. The British Government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways, and in 1773 introduced the General Highways Act, which encouraged driving on the left.When Henry Ford

46、 unveiled (为揭幕) his Model T in 1908, the drivers seat was on the left, meaning that cars would have to drive on the right hand side of the road to allow front and back passengers to exit the car onto the roadside. 40. And this is highly unlikely to change.A. Think four legs instead of four wheels.B. Do people get used to driving on the right?C. However, British drivers remain on the left.D. So why did people stop traveling on the left?E. Therefore, he kept to the right side of the road. F. Around 35 percent of the world people do the same.G. This was later made
