【題目】閱讀理解
Queensland is one of the most amazing states in Australia. It has some of the most beautiful natural scenery on the planet, with the Great Barrier Reef, rainforests and impressive beaches.
The Great Barrier Reef
It is one of the world's largest natural features. It stretches more that 2,300 km along the north eastern coast of Australia from the northern tip of Queensland to just north of Bundaberg. The things that most surprise visitors to the reef are the colors.
Without doubt, the best way to see the Great Barrier Reef is by diving. If you have a little extra money and you are feeling a bit lazy, you can fly over the reef in a plane.
Fraser Island
Another area of natural beauty is Fraser Island. This is the world's largest sand island. It's best visited from Hervey Bay on the mainland, where there are a number of places offering trips around the island. To fully appreciate Fraser Island you should go for three or four days. Attractions include some beautiful fresh-water lakes, particularly Lake Wabby and Lake Mckenzie. You can walk around these on white sands untouched by human footprints. Indian Head also has some beautiful views. Braver travelers can go and watch sharks circling the water hundreds of meters below.
The Whitsunday Islands
It would be a pity to travel around Queensland without taking a trip around the Whitsunday Islands. They were named by Captain Cook in 1770, after the day on which he arrived. Here are some of the great things you can do there.
●Cruise around them on a relaxing trip.
●Take a sailing course.
●Look at the aboriginal (土著的) paintings in caves on Hook Island.
●Have fun in the water doing lots of water sports.

【題目】Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.

During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others, it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues（獨(dú)白）as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.

You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleiman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but you must stay up late anyway. Counteract（打破）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.

Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble of searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharp hours.

【1】If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.

A. he is a lazy person

B. he refuses to follow his own energy cycle

C. he is not sure when his energy is low

D. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening

【2】You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ________.

A. help to keep your energy for the day’s work

B. help you to control your temper early in the day

C. enable you to concentrate on your routine work

D. keep your energy cycle under control all day

【3】What should one do if he wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning?

A. He should change his energy cycle.

B. He should overcome his laziness.

C. He should get up earlier than usual.

D. He should go to bed earlier.

【題目】Five Simple Ways to Increase Your Intelligence

Your IQ, which stands for Intelligence Quotient, is a scientific assessment(評(píng)估)of your intelligence. While there are limits based on native intelligence levels, recent studies have shown that it’s possible to increase your intelligence. Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus. Here are five simple techniques to exercise your brain.

1. Minimize(使減少到最低程度)television watching. 【1】When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, turn your television off and have a conversation.

2. 【2】Time spent exercising always leads to greater learning because it improves productivity during the time afterwards. Using your body clears your head and creates a wave of energy.

3. Read Challenging Books. If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability, you should read books that make you focus. 【3】Besides, it will make you think in more precise, elegant English.

4.【4】Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than lack of sleep. You’ll be most rejuvenated(恢復(fù)活力的)if you go to bed early and don’t sleep more than 8 hours.

5. Take time to reflect. Spending some time alone in reflection gives you a chance to organize your thoughts and prioritize(優(yōu)先處理)your responsibilities. 【5】.

A. Early to Bed, Early to Rise.

B. Take some time to exercise

C. Think of new ways to do old things

D. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world

E. Watching television doesn’t use your mental ability or allow it to recharge

F. Afterwards, you’ll have a better understanding of what’s important and what isn’t.

G. Just as sitting at your desk all day is bad for your physical self, sitting in the same mental seat all the time is bad for your bran.

【題目】My first book had been rejected by every major American publisher. My first agent, wasn’t communicating. My dream of a life as a successful author was in tatters.

“It isn’t going to happen,” I said to my friend. “And I have to accept it.”

“If you lose faith in your product, no one else will have faith in it,” she told me.

And, I knew she was right. But, how could I believe in myself when I hit a wall at every turn? I knew I had a good product. The book featured interviews with world-famous people who had learned how to succeed and lead—the hard way. It had information that could help other people. As a consumer, I would have loved that book because it had the great wisdom I so desperately needed. And, their stories made for good reading. I had a good book. What I didn’t have was a publisher. I had to find a way to get that book sold and on the shelves. But, how?

The hardest challenge was forcing myself to do battle again. I had to find the strength to believe in myself when it seemed like no one else believed in me. When I hit a wall, I usually need to get more information to figure out what is going wrong. So, I did some research and found out that my initial vision for the book-where all the interview subjects got their own chapters-wasn’t marketable to big publishers because that format does not sell tons of books. What I had to do was recognize, restructure and rewrite.

I needed an agent. There are thousands of agents. Surely one of them was right for me. So, I started sending out query（詢問）letters. Within a week, I had a dozen agents who wanted the book. I chose the one who I thought would believe in me and my dream. She did get me my choices of publishers.

Hard won Wisdom wound up being a best-selling book. But, it almost never was.

【1】Which can best replace the underlined part “in tatters” in Paragraph 1?

A. Great. B. Ruined.

C. Strange. D. Cherished.

【2】How can the author’s first book be described?

A. It is very theoretical. B. It contains many love stories.

C. It is about a well-known person. D. It is quite useful for many people.

【3】Which part of the mentioned book was changed by the author?

A. The cover of it. B. The main content.

C. The structure of it. D. The introduction part.

【4】What does the author’s story tell us?

A. Never give up. B. Easier said than done.

C. Every man has his faults. D. Never judge a book by its cover.
