I advise you not to book with this company. I booked a trip to Switzerland and it was called off by the company. They would not pay back the insurance(保险)we took out to protect the trip. It is difficult to get in touch with the company when you have a problem. They don’t answer emails.

Katy M ★★★
The tour (London to Rome)was acceptable overall . Below are the Pros and Cons(利与弊) . Pros
1. A comfortable bus that was not too crowded
2. The breakfast hotels provided was good
Cons
The biggest complaint(不满)is that the hotels provided were always a long way from the city center. We were put in a hotel that was an hour out of London(with traffic). The same thing happened at every visited city—VERY disappointing.

Would highly recommend TourRadar! I myself, along with two lady friends, have just enjoyed a very good 5-night private tour of Romania. Our tour guide Vlad was wonderful in every way. We were very lucky to be the only 3 passengers in a large and comfortable bus. The places we visited were just impressive. Hotels were so well-located and comfortable. We enjoy this tour. It’s well worth the cost.

28、Highly Effective Study Habits
For students, sometimes it’s not easy to concentrate on studying. If you want better grades, you need more effective study habits. The key to effective studying isn’t studying longer but studying smarter. 【1】
● Plan when you’re going to study.
Successful students schedule specific times when they are going to study—and then they stick to their schedule. 【2】 Even if you can catch up with your studies, creating a weekly routine will enable you to succeed in your education in the long run.
● Set a specific goal for each study.
【3】 You need to know exactly what you need to achieve during each study session. Before you start, set a study goal that supports your overall academic goal (eg. memorize 30 vocabulary words for an upcoming exam).
● 【4】
As your most difficult assignment or subject will need the most effort, you should start with it first. Once you’ve finished the most difficult work, it will be much easier to complete the rest. Believe it or not, this will greatly improve the effectiveness of your study sessions.
● Practice by yourself.
Practice makes perfect. You can practice by yourself by testing yourself with either practice exams, or flash cards. If a practice or old exam from a course is available, use it as a guide. 【5】
We’re confident that if you develop the habits above, you’ll see a great improvement in your academic success.
A.Improve your study effectiveness.
B.You should study regularly all the time.
C.Start with the most difficult subject first.
D.Studying without direction is not effective.
E.You can begin studying smarter with these study habits.
F.Such exams help you understand what to expect in the future exam.
G.Students who study without a schedule usually do not perform so well.
29、How the Grand Canyon (大峡谷) was created remains one of the geology’s greatest mysteries. Some evidence suggests that the process was a gradual one in which the Colorado River (which runs through the canyon) slowly cut deeper and deeper into the ground over millions of years. But volcanic rock samples taken from the canyon now suggest that the canyon was down-cut instead.
Down-cutting is when a flood of water rushes over a landscape (地形) with enough force to cut deeply into the ground and leaves behind a canyon. Such a flood is usually released when a natural or man-made dam (堤坝) bursts.
Robert Webb, a research geologist, says natural dams seem to have formed and broken across the Colorado River several times during the last million years. The dams were built when lava(熔岩) from the eruptions of nearby volcanoes flowed into the river. The lava hardened into hard rocks and blocked the river, causing it to back up and form a lake. Each time the lake grew so huge that it broke the rock dam, releasing a flash flood that furthered the down-cutting process and deepened the canyon.
Down-cutting is not just an earthly event. Satellite photos sent back from Mars suggest that the process has happened there, too, say many other researchers.
The photos, taken by the Mars Global Surveyor, indicate that an enormous lake existed on Mars 3.5 billion years ago. The lake spilled into a large nearby hole. One edge of the hole broke, releasing a flash flood that quickly carved out a grand canyon.
The existence of down-cutting on Mars is just one more piece of evidence that the cold, dry planet was once warm and wet.
【1】In the past, deep canyons were believed to have formed _______.
A. as a result of a sudden break of volcanoes
B. due to river flows over millions of years
C. owing to the burst of artificial dams
D. thanks to our ancestors’ creative work
【2】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TURE?
A. Several volcanoes broke out on Mars directly creating grand canyons.
B. Several great lakes existed on the upper parts of the Colorado River.
C. People built high dams on the upper parts of the Colorado River.
D. The Colorado River crossed the Grand Canyon to form down-cutting.
【3】From the last three paragraphs we learn that _______.
A. there are great lakes on Mars
B. there are active volcanoes on Mars
C. there might be cities on Mars
D. there might be life on Mars
【5】The passage can be titled as _______.
A. Lakes on Earth and Mars
B. The Cause of Lake Formation
C. The Force of Dam Breaking
D. Canyons—Results of Flood Cutting
