26、Germany is famous for its history and culture, and it also has some of Europe’s most wild and wonderful scenery. Here are four parks worth visiting.
The Bliesgau Biosphere
This place is home to almost half of all German flower species. The grasslands run for miles, drawing in different butterflies. Thanks to its great climate, this is an area of sustainable development. In fact, this park is an example of farming done right and offers a wealth of agricultural know-how to anyone eager to learn.
Berchtesgaden nature park
Berchtesgaden is one of Germany’s oldest and most beautiful conservation areas. Paths go in and out of the forest, leading you along the banks of glassy lakes. The more adventurous visitors may choose paragliding (滑翔伞运动). Back on the ground, a network of more than 150 miles of walking paths goes through the forest.
Southern Black Forest nature park
The highland areas, with views over Switzerland and France, are a good place for food-lovers. Activities in the park range from hiking and fishing to mountain biking, while the slower travelers will enjoy the paths to get away from everyday life.
Jasmund nature park
It lies on the west coast of the offshore island of Rugen. This protected site is the smallest of Germany’s national park. It is here that painter Caspar David Friedrich found himself inspired to create one of his masterpieces, Chalk Cliffs on Rigen, in 1818. Here long paths can take you all the way to the Rugen coastline, where white-sand beaches and blue waters wait for you.

27、Last Monday, I visited Jalan Besar to find a new fan blade for a standing fan that my daughters had broken.
I’d worked in the Jalan Besar area 30 years ago and remembered that there were lots of small hardware shops selling unusual things so I thought that I would have no problem finding a fan blade. However, after walking around for almost an hour, I found out that these shops were no longer around.
When I was ready to give up and go home, I spotted an old-fashioned hardware store. After being greeted by a woman, I explained my predicament. She immediately asked me to show her the broken blade. Out of nowhere, a man who looked to be in his 60s came out.
He asked to see the blade and then disappeared into the shop. He came back with a blade but it did not look the same as what I had in my hand. We compared the two blades and he said that it might work.
I asked him how much it was. He told me that he had taken the blade off an old fan that someone had brought in for repair. He said: “It didn’t cost me anything, so why should I charge you for it?” That really touched me. I took the blade home and it work perfectly! My daughters got a “new” fan for nothing.
When I told them this story, they were shocked as they are used to patronizing big modern shops where everything is transactional and the employees go strictly by the book. Not so much my wife. She is almost in her 60s, and said this reminded her of the kind aunties and uncles who used to run small shops and were always ready to help others when she was growing up.
【1】Why did the author go to Jalan Besar?
A．To visit old friends.
B．To fix the broken fan.
C．To apply for a job.
D．To buy a new fan.
【2】What does the underlined word “predicament” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Nervous mood.
B．Anxious waiting.
C．Difficult situation.
D．Embarrassing moments.
【3】Which of the following can best describe the old man?
A．Honest and helpful.
B．Kind and brave.
C．Determined and curious.
D．Open-minded and humorous.
【4】How did the author’s wife react to his experience?
A．She thought little of it.
B．She was greatly surprised.
C．She couldn’t believe it.
D．She remembered the old days.
28、Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life. 【1】 There is constant competition for academic degrees, jobs, customers, money and so forth. In a sense, competition is one of the motive forces to the development of society.
【2】 Therefore, the only way to survive is to be competitive. Growing in a competitive environment is important for a child because future adult life is difficult. Finding a good job, for example, is an extremely competitive activity.
Today, most people obtain knowledge through various ways and a large number of people get good education. 【3】The quality of people is rapidly increasing. Competition is more violent than what we thought it should be. The potentially successful job applicant has to be prepared in stronger position by gaining more qualifications and experience. In the sports contests, the strongest will come out as winners. In the business world, to beat your competitors, you must be better than the other employees. 【4】
Though the only way our world rewards people is to give honor to the winners, not to the losers, by attempting to compete at different activities, we can still learn to win and lose, gain experience and know our strengths and weaknesses. Competition prepares us for the tough things in life.
Whether in games, in study or in business alike, the aim is to win the game, the degree, the trophy, and the contract. 【5】
A．Otherwise, you will be defeated.
B．Modern society demands high-quality talents.
C．Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life.
D．There are also many people who have higher degrees in their special fields.
E．Children have to learn to be competitive in order to adapt to modern society.
F．In the natural world, the weak will be replaced by the strong and the fittest can live.
G．We compete when we play games and when we try to do better than others in our study.
29、Unhappy people glue themselves to the television 30 percent more than happy people. The finding, announced on Thursday, comes from a survey of nearly 30,000 American adults as part of the General Social Survey.
While happy people reported watching an average of 19 hours of television per week, unhappy people reported 25 hours a week. The results hardly change after taking into account education, income, age and marital status.
In addition, happy individuals were more socially active, attended more religious services, voted more and read a newspaper more often that their less-chipper ones.
The researchers are not sure, though, whether unhappiness leads to more television-watching or more viewing leads to unhappiness. In fact, people say they like watching television. The research has shown that when people watch television they enjoy it. In these studies, 9 in 10 participants reported that on a scale from 0(dislike) to 10 (greatly enjoy), TV-watching was nearly an 8.
But perhaps the high from watching television doesn’t last.
“These conflicting data suggest that TV may provide viewers with short-run pleasure, but at the expense of long-term malaise (不舒服),” said researcher John Robinson, a sociologist at the University of Maryland, College Park.
In this scenario, even the happiest campers could have a bad mood if they continue to stare at the TV. The researchers suggest that over time, television-viewing could push out other activities that do have more lasting benefits. Exercise and reading come to mind, as do parties and other forms of socialization known to have psychological benefits.
Or, maybe television is simply an escape for people who are already unhappy.
“TV is not judgmental nor difficult, so people with few social skills or resources for other activities can engage in it,” Robinson write in the December issue of the journal Social Indicators Research.
They add, “Furthermore, short-run unhappiness can be socially and personally debilitated by many positive social and personal activities. However, even the unhappiest people can click a remote and be passively entertained by a TV.”
The researchers say follow-up studies are needed to find out more facts about the issue.
【1】The passage is mainly about_________.
A．the relationship between watching TV and unhappiness
B．the benefits and weakness of watching TV
C．the suitable way to watch TV
D．the reasons of an unhappy life
【2】The underlined word debilitated is closest in meaning to_________.
A．threatened
B．developed
C．weakened
D．explained
【3】One saying is that watching TV resulted in unhappiness because_________.
A．watching TV doesn’t require intelligence and is passive activity
B．watching TV keeps people from doing other meaningful things
C．people may see many sad scenes on TV which make them unhappy
D．watching TV is a personal activity which makes people lonely
【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The time spent on TV watching is affected by education and income.
B．Scientist has made it clear that unhappiness results in too much TV watching.
C．Most happy people in the study stated that they didn’t enjoy watching TV.
D．Watching TV can give temporary happiness but no lasting pleasure.
