Now it is time to go out to explore foreign lands and experience the different beaches that the world has to offer.

Anse Sourced’ Argent, Seychelles--With beautiful pale pink sand, clear blue waters, and rock formations that have been shaped by waves and time, this beach’s beauty is enough to land itself on the cover of a travel magazine. And it is one of the most photographed baeches in the world. And don’t worry about any waves as the shores and shallow waters are protected by a nearby reef(礁).

Maldives--Maldives is an island nation off the coast of Sri Lanka and one of the lowest nations of the world, Enjoy the soft sandy beaches, coconut-bearing palm trees, and a diverse sea life that surrounds you. But due to coral dying and rising sea levels, Maldives is expected to sink within the next 10 years. Freedom Beach, Thailand--Privacy(隱私) isn’t always so easy to find at a beach, but Freedom Beach in Thailand provides a much less crowded, more relaxing location to spend your time. With swimming, snorkeling(浮潛), and beach-side refreshments(點心,茶點), you are able to have the vacation that you deserve! Its neighboring beach, Patong, can get a little crowded and a bit crazy with the large number of tourists present, so escape via water taxi to enjoy yourself and a much cleaner shore.

Matira Beach, Bara Bora--The island's economy is driven by tourism, so you know that all of the locals want you to have a great time and come back soon with all of your friends. With a beach like Matira, that sounds like a great idea! You may recognize the island from Couples Retreat. Remember all of the over-the-water bungalows(平房) that were in the movie?

After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.

Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.

The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations — major food sources (來源) for the wolf – grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’ s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’ s beavers.

As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.

The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red fores have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.

1.What is the text mainly about?

A. Wildlife research in the United States.

B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.

C. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.

D. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.

2.What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Tested. B. Separated. C. Forced out. D. Tracked down.

3.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about？

A. Damage to local ecology. B. A decline in the park’s income.

C. Preservation of vegetation. D. An increase in the variety of animals.

4.What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？

A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Uncaring.

Making words shorter is a common habit of English speakers today.

It seems that most sayings or popular words have their own abbreviation. 1. For example, LOL stands for “l(fā)aughing out loud”，IMO is “in my opinion” and BTW is “by the way”. US technology website Lifewire made a list of the most common abbreviations in 2016.

Simple ones you may already know - like BTW, IMO and IDK (I don’t know) made the list. 2. They include TFW (that feeling when), and FTW (for the win). TFW is sometimes used along with a funny photo to describe your feelings, while FTW is a kind of internet cheer used to express happiness. 3. You can use this one before you tell someone what you think about something.

4. Terry Wood, a foreign language teacher from Leonardtown, US, says the habits have lowered his students’ writing abilities. “They do not capitalize (大寫) words or use punctuation anymore,” Wood told US News. “5.”

My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago  because I had my relatives give me  money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit .I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model, I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid, The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off  for the night, Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.

Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (靜電) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.

When neither of these methods removed the static noise ,I would sit helplessly and  wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether .My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.

1.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?

A. He got an older model than he had expected.

B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.

C. He could have bought it at a lower price.

D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.

2.Which of the following can best replace the phrase ”signed off” in Paragraph 1?

A. ended all their programs B. provided fewer channels

C. changed to commercials D. showed all-night movies

3.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?

A. By shaking and hitting it. B. By turning it on and off.

C. By switching channels. D. By having it repaired.

4.How does the author sound when telling the story ?
