26、 Nowadays more and more people are too busy with work to relax themselves. We have no time to tell a bed-time story to our children, or enjoy a nice dinner with our family, or take a break to think about how we live the precious life, or even meet friends. All we notice is that the distinctions that used to guide and steady us—between Sunday and Monday, public and private, here and there—are gone. We have more ways to communicate, but less and less to say, partly because we’re so busy communicating.
Maybe that’s why more and more people I know, even if they have no religious belief, seem to be turning to yoga, or mediation, or tai chi. Some friends of mine try to go on long walks every Sunday, or to “forget” their cellphones at home. A series of tests in recent years has shown that their brains become both calmer and sharper after spending time in quiet rural settings.
In my own case, I often turn to extreme measures to try to keep my sanity and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all. I’ve not yet used a cellphone and I’ve never Tweeted or entered Facebook. I tried not to go online till my day’s writing was finished, and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan.
None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism (苦行主义): It’s just pure selfishness. Nothing makes me feel better—calmer, clearer and happier—than being in one place, absorbed in a book, a conversation, a piece of music. It’s actually something deeper than mere happiness: It’s joy, which David Steindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens”. That is the highest of the highest we have been longing for—The Joy of Quiet.
【1】What does the underlined word “distinctions” refer to?
A. complication. B. similarity. C. simplicity. D. difference.
【2】What does the writer mean when using the word “forget” in the 2nd paragraph?
A. Trapped in busy work, they are really forgetful.
B. The cellphone is not a suitable means of communication.
C. They leave their cellphones at home on purpose.
D. They hate modern techniques such as the cellphone.
【3】The writer sometimes doesn’t do anything because __________.
A. he is out of work
B. whatever he does makes no sense
C. he can enjoy himself in his leisure time
D. he is worried about his writing
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A. The writer is unwilling to help others since he is selfish.
B. Slowing down to find deep-down joy is necessary.
C. It is better to go back to the ancient times since we are so busy now.
D. We have more to say because we have more ways to communicate.
【5】What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Enjoying quiet time is very important.
B. We can do some sports such as yoga to relax.
C. To feel better, we should do nothing at all.
D. The more we communicate, the better we will feel.
27、 Lake Inari, Finland
High above the Arctic Circle and close to Finland's border with Russia, Lake Inari is a year- round Heaven. Dark, snowy winters make it wonderful for catching a glimpse of the Northern Lights. Its tree-lined banks produce a burnt orange during autumn and in summer, you can swim in its cold shallows.
Unst, Shetland Isles, Scotland
The most northerly occupied island of the British Isles, Unst is a wild, rough place where seas crash into the dramatic Muckle Flugga sea stacks(海栈). The latter are a harbor for gannets- a large bird during breeding season, with birdwatchers also treated to the sight of searching for great skuas(贼鸥).
Zagori, Greece
While Greece's islands are praised for their beauty, the mainland's charms are easily overlooked. But one of the most breathtaking mountain ranges in Europe lies here, in the region of Zagori, Epirus. The Vikos Gorge makes for a perfect day's hiking. While Mount Astrakas' snow-capped top is a sight to see as the days close in, showing that Greece is far more than just a summer destination. Keep an eye out for Zagori's stone bridges, especially the three- arched Kaligeriko, close to the village of Kipi.
Yorkshire Dales, England
The Yorkshire Dales are the England of the imagination. Its narrow lanes lined with dry stone walls draw cyclists’ attention to dizzying adventures, while its moody hills continually attract walkers, no matter the weather. Geological wonders such as the limestone(石灰石) sights of MalhamCove and Gordale Scar make it perhaps the most beautiful part of the British Isles.
【1】Where would you like to go if you are a bird-lover?

【2】What can you do in the Vikos Gorge?

29、 Dazzling (眼花缭乱) with their bright colors and eye — catching displays, fireworks light up our night skies during the holidays. However, these crowd -pleasers can have some damaging side effects. Once a firework is set off, it only takes a couple of seconds before smoke, dust and harmful chemicals are let out into the atmosphere. The loud booming noises are caused by gunpowder. While the sounds may excite some people, they can be frightening to domestic and wild animals — as well as some humans.
The pretty colors you see are a result of more chemicals. Barium, added to make green, is known for its poisonous and radioactive qualities. Blue comes from copper compounds. Cadmium, lithium and lead — all found in fireworks — have been linked to diseases, such as allergies and skin rashes in both humans and animals. Acid rain has been linked to gases given off by fireworks, which sometimes go beyond the toxin (毒素) limits of the United States Clean Air Act.
Once all those chemicals come back down to the ground, they can cause problems too. Debris (碎片) from the fireworks falls to the ground, where animals can bum their paws or noses on piping hot pieces. Humans also are at risk of stepping on or picking up something sharp or hot. Meanwhile, debris that finds its way into waterways can damage animal habitats and water supply sources. Instead of setting off fireworks, try to come up with some new ways for fun. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Sky lanterns — a tradition that originated long ago in the most-populated Asian country.
Party crackers — a favorite in the United Kingdom — give you noise and surprises without the mess of fireworks. You can make your own or buy eco-friendly crackers.
Want noise excitement with less volume? Consider a fireworks sound recording beforehand or break out the party horns (号角) and blow up a storm!
【1】The advantages of fireworks can be seen below EXCEPT that _________.
A.the special sounds of fireworks excite people
B.the pretty and bright colors add to the beauty of night skies
C.fireworks are enjoyed as one of the crowd-pleasers
D.debris from fireworks can even find its way into water
【2】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Chemicals in fireworks are both poisonous and dangerous.
B.Too much gases from fireworks can result in acid rain.
C.Copper compounds are needed to make green in fireworks.
D.Chemicals in fireworks are harmful in the air and on the ground.
【3】What is implied from the passage?
A.Gunpowder in fireworks makes loud booming noises.
B.It must be Indians who first started to hang sky lanterns.
C.Fireworks can even break the balance of nature.
D.Fireworks does less harm in the air than on the ground.
【4】What can be concluded as the writer’s attitude towards fireworks?
A.It is not allowed to set off fireworks except during the holidays.
B.Night is the best time to set off fireworks and see the pretty colors.
C.You cannot set off fireworks unless you come up with new ways.
