21、 It’s easy to assume that a vacation to Bali will cost a small fortune. There are plenty of accommodations, food and local transportation, and even the spas offer massages and treatments at value prices. However, you can easily spend a week or two in Bali for under $2,000, without having to sleep on the beach. Here are a few things to consider when planning Bali on a budget.
What is the best time to visit Bali on a budget?
If you’re on a budget, consider visiting Bali during the lower, wetter season, which runs from October through March. The crowds will be fewer, and both hotel rates and flights from abroad are often cheaper, except during the holiday period between mid-December and early January, when crowds swell. The only trade-off for the lower prices is the wet season. This time of year isn’t always ideal for sunbathing, and serious rainfall can make outdoor activities, such as whitewater rafting and visiting waterfalls and rice terraces, less than appealing. That said, even during rainy season, it doesn’t usually rain all day long. Expect bursts of sunshine between the storms.
What is the cheapest way to get around Bali?
The absolute cheapest way to get around Bali is by local bus, but it can take a long time. There are also tourist buses, including hop-on, hop-off options, that travel between different hubs across the island. Bali is well-served by taxis, both of the car and motorbike variety, and the prices tend to be affordable by international standards. Most drivers will offer you a fixed rate for full-day hires or to get from point A to point B, rather than using a meter.
Remember to bargain; doing so is particularly easy when a driver is on his own rather than at a taxi stand.
How much does food cost in Bali?
If you’re into fine dining, you can end up spending a large chunk of your budget on food. Eating at the average restaurant geared towards tourists is the best way to have a meal in Bali on a budget. A good meal should cost you around 100,000 rupiah (around $7), but if you’re willing to subsist mostly off of local specialties such as nasi goreng (fried rice) and eat at local restaurants, you can expect to pay around 30,000 rupiah ($2) to get fed. Best of all, most hotels and guesthouses in Bali come with free breakfast, and many offer heavier options of noodles and meat that may keep you full until lunch.
【1】Which of the following situation can be best described by the underlined word trade-off in paragraph 2?
A.Jack got a reward after he returned the lost bag to its owner.
B.Lily spent much money buying some handicrafts at the local fair.
C.Wendy cancelled her trip in order to prevent the spread of the virus.
D.Sam was scolded by his parents for what he did in school last night.
【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.It’s better for outdoor enthusiasts to visit Bali during the off season.
B.Passengers had better fix the price with drivers before the taxi pulls out from the station.
C.If on a tight budget, one is advised to visit Bali at the end of December every year.
D.It’s relatively economical to eat merely at average restaurants tailored to visitors.
【3】In which column of a magazine can you most probably find this passage?
A.City and Transport.
B.Travel and Recreation.
C.Nature and Environment.
D.Food and Health.
22、Single - use plastic waste is a huge problem, worsened these days by the fact that people cannot go out to many places to eat and have to order takeout. It’s been really hard on those companies that were trying to do something about the waste. Now, many businesses in New York have signed up with a new operation, DeliverZero.
New Yorkers do order a lot of takeout and don’t want to stop doing that since they are too busy to cook on their own. However, takeout consumes countless containers. And the containers — used once and for mere seconds — usually sit in landfills as far as 400 miles away from NYC.
But with DeliverZero, you get your order in reusable containers. There is no deposits (押金); you just return them to the delivery person the next time you order, or you drop them off at any of the restaurants on the platform.
When asked why DeliverZero doesn’t call for deposits, founder Adam Farbiarz explained, “When we started, we were collecting deposits. But that made everyone’s head spin because they had to choose how many containers they needed. It became complex to collect deposits while giving the restaurant the flexibility to pack the food. So now we just let the restaurant use containers as they want. After the restaurant packs the food, the customer gets an email that says, ‘You’re getting X containers with your meal.’ If the customer doesn’t return the containers within 6 weeks, we charge them. And the system works! Restaurants have no problem counting the containers, and customers appreciate that the restaurant has the freedom to use containers in a manner that best packages the food.”
DeliverZero shows that takeout doesn’t have to be related to single - use packaging. It is just starting out and is only in New York for now, but the founder said, “We have plans to march into other cities as quickly as we can. We are hoping to make a contribution to going zero waste and building a truly circular food delivery system.”
【1】What problem does takeout usually cause according to the text?
A.Higher cost for many restaurants.
B.Poorer health of most customers.
C.Increasing single use plastic waste.
D.Fewer food choices for New Yorkers.
【2】Why did DeliverZero stop collecting deposits for containers?
A.To test if its monitoring system works.
B.To simplify the whole operation process.
C.To relieve businesses’ financial pressure.
D.To help consumers develop a good habit.
【3】What does Adam Farbiarz say about DeliverZero?
A.It will be expanded.
B.It is facing many barriers.
C.It needs to improve its technology.
D.It has won recognition worldwide.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.A platform allowing ordering food in reusable containers.
B.A concept of building a truly circular food delivery system.
C.A new operation based on deposit - free single - use packaging.
D.A system making food delivery more convenient and simpler.
23、 Sea otters (海獭) are pretty small compared to other marine mammals (哺乳动物).which means that, despite their fur coats, they tend to lose het quickly, and need lots of energy to keep up their body temperature.
"So they need to eat 25 percent of their body weight each day," says Sarah McKay Strobel, a sensory ecologist at UC Santa Cruz. "But in order to eat that much food, that means sea otters need to find all that food. " She studied the otter's senses, to solve the mystery of how they're such efficient food catchers. Vision isn't reliable, she says- it's pretty dark and muddy underwater, and crabs and other smaller animals tend to hide. Hearing is also tough for otters, in the noisy underwater environment. And sniffing's no good either. "When they're underwater they're holding their breath."
What's left is touch. So Strobel measured the sensitivity of the otters' paws and whiskers (须). She blindfolded an otter named Selka, then presented it with plastic plates carved with tiny grooves (沟槽). Selka's job was to select the plate with two-millimerter grooves, which she'd been trained to associate with tasty food, instead of plates with differently sized grooves.
Tums out, Selka could tell just a quarter millimeter difference in the grooves' with with her paws - above and below water - and hall a millimeter difference with her whiskers. "The fact that she was able to perform so well while moving extremely quickly I think is really interesting and suggests that sea otters have very quick decision-making abilities and very quick sensory processing abilities, which makes sense when you think about the type of lifestyle they lead and how quickly they need to find food."
For the record, humans can feel the difference too, but it takes us 30 times longer, which might make sense. After all, we live in environments where touch is less important in a hunt than sight and sound.
【1】Why do sea otters eat much food?
A.To swim faster. B.To stay warm.
C.To keep their fur thick. D.To satisfy their good appetite.
【2】What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.An introduction to Selka. B.The use of plastic plates.
C.An experiment on Selka. D.The function of otters' touch.
【3】What did Strobel find about sea otters' senses?
A.Hearing is useless. B.Touch is the most elective.
C.They have no vision. D.Their smell works very well.
【4】What can we learn from the text?
A.Sea otters have enough food to eat.
B.Humans are more sensitive than sea otters.
C.Sea otters respond very quickly in hunting.
D.Sea otters' whiskers work better than paws.
24、Tips for Choosing a Career
Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Most people spend half or more of their waking hours five days a week at their jobs. While selecting a career can be a difficult process, the following tips can make this process easier for you.
Extensive reading about potential careers is vital. 【1】 It’s important to collect vital information such as career descriptions, career outlooks, employment statistics, educational requirements, and potential earnings.

Find a mentor. Many colleges and employers have a formal mentoring program. 【3】 It is a great way to learn about a career, and a mentor can provide valuable networking opportunities. “Mentworking” is a new trend which combines mentoring and networking, and which has shown good results.
Interviewing people in the field is an excellent way to learn about the various aspects of a career. 【4】 Informational interviews often change a person’s perspective about an occupation. You can find interview candidates by asking friends, teachers and neighbors. You can also contact relevant professional associations and societies and visit appreciate social and professional networking sites online.
The skills required for a career are an essential factor for an individual’s potential for success in that career. Write a list of the skills needed for a particular field. Place a check next to each skill you possess.【5】

Next, I make a________in the front or back of the book, with the page number and a short summary of what________me as a real gem (宝石). After I have finished the book, I________all the page numbers and quotes (引用) onto a fancy notebook. Then, anytime I need a mental, emotional or motivational push, I quickly and easily________my notes of a particular book. It’s easy and simple.
My mentor Paul J. Meyer said, “It’s better to________or review over and over, 20 or 30 or 100 great books than to read 1,000________books.” I have never forgotten that and it has ________my life and dreams very well.
In________the notebook, I see my notes on books like, “Satisfaction” “Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway” “The Power of Now”, to________just a few.
