Where can you find a nice place to relax on holiday for both you and your children? Well, I suggest you try the beautiful and green Isle of Wight (IOW). The Isle of Wight is one of the main tourist attractions. Here is some information on a few of the attractions on the IOW.
Dinosaur Isle
It is located in Sandown, a seaside town on the southeast coast. It's a large, lovely museum, both fun and educational. Here you can see a large fossil collection of all kinds of dinosaurs, as well as a gift shop. You can walk into the past and then the future, learning about the history and the development of the civilization of dinosaurs(恐龍)that lived 120 million years ago.
Robin Hill Country Park
The park is in the beautiful countryside, and is suitable for children's parties and games. It has five new gardens, and offers great opportunities to see and take pictures of the rare red squirrels.
The West of the Wight
Here we have the Marine Aquarium, the Archaeology Exhibition and the Model Railway. They offer another opportunity to combine entertainment(娛樂) with learning. This is a great place to see ancient boats crossing the narrow strait between the island and the mainland.
The Wight Bus Museum
This museum is run completely by unpaid volunteers. It has a bus collection stored in what was once a warehouse (倉庫) . Most of the buses in the museum date back to around the 1910's.

If you are planning on traveling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double?check departure (出發(fā)) time. It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards (信用卡), it is still important to have some local money in cash (現(xiàn)金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment.
The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
1.Where is the writer most probably from?
A.Britain. B.The USA.
C.Italy. D.Greece.
2.When the writer found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver, he________.
A.a(chǎn)sked the driver to give him a free ride
B.offered to pay in pounds
C.gave the driver some fake(假)money
D.tried to pay by credit card
3.Generally, in May the weather in London is________.
A.warm and dry B.cold and dry
C.hot and wet D.cool and rainy
4.The writer mainly tells us________.
A.how to make life easier
B.how to be well prepared for a trip
C.how to enjoy ourselves on the trip
D.how to schedule our trip

Studies have documented that smiling is a universal and effective way to lift mood. But in the latest research on the power of the smile, researchers led by Marcus Munafo of the University of Bristol in England found that even seeing smiles on the faces of others can have a profound effect on a person's tendency toward violence or aggression — that is, as long as that person recognizes the smile as one of happiness, and not as a sneer (譏笑).
Munafo and his colleagues conducted a series of experiments involving normal adults and highly aggressive teens referred to a youth program, either by educational authorities or the courts. About 70% of the teens already had a criminal record.
In the first experiment, 40 healthy adults, aged 18?30, looked at facial expressions on the computer ranging from happy to angry with increasingly difficult ones to discern in between. Participants were asked how angry they felt and then had to rate the images as displaying either happiness or anger — there was no option for “unclear” or “unable to tell”. From these ratings, the scientists could generate a score of their preference toward happiness or anger.
Previous research found that aggressive people — including violent offenders — tend to consider even a common expression as an unfriendly one. “You looking at me?” can easily turn a simple question into a tragic fight.
Based on their original scores, half of the participants were then told by the computer that some of the unclear faces that they had rated as angry should have been scored as happy. This was intended to guide them toward judging the in?between faces more positively. The other 20 received feedback that simply proved their first choices, creating a control group.
After this training, both groups were tested again and the group that received the biased (有偏見的) feedback shifted its ratings of unclear faces toward the happy side. Participants were also asked to rate their level of angry feelings again after completing the second round of testing. Those who were trained to consider unclear faces as happier reported feeling less angry afterward.
The researchers next focused on the 46 adolescents from the high risk youth program. These teens completed the same testing, but both the youth and the staff reported on the teens' levels of aggressive behavior before the testing started and for two weeks afterward. The teens trained to interpret unclear facial expressions more positively were significantly less aggressive two weeks later.
“The results of our experiments strongly suggest that the understanding of emotional facial expressions plays a causal role in subjective anger and aggressive behavior,”the authors conclude.
That doesn't mean that smiles alone are the answer to violence among adolescents — previous research in which anti?social youth were trained to better recognize emotions, for example, did not have any effect on their level of aggressive behavior. But this earlier study focused on improving teens' understanding of clear facial signals, not unclear ones. Since unclear signals are more likely to be misunderstood, it may be that violent behavior in some youth exists with their constant misunderstanding of angry expressions where they don't exist, which push them to aggressive responses. The findings suggest that helping young people, particularly those easy to be violent, to learn to give others the benefit of the doubt when they see what they think is a threatening face could help end the vicious (惡性的) cycle of violence.
1.The underlined word “discern” (Paragraph 3) means ________.
A.display obviously B.identify clearly
C.describe correctly D.value properly
2.According to Munafo's research, the anger and violent behavior in some youths resulted from ____.
A.their misunderstanding of facial emotions of others
B.their lack in knowledge of emotion recognition
C.their in?born tendency toward violence or aggression
D.their experience of being offended by others on purpose
3.The method Munafo and his colleagues used in their research is ________.
A.field investigation
B.case study
C.observation and analysis
D.experiment and comparison
4.What happens to the participants after receiving certain feedbacks?
A.They can interpret unclear facial expressions.
B.They put an end to their aggressive behavior.
C.They tend to judge the in?between faces positively.
D.It makes no difference in their level of aggressive behavior.
5.Which of the following will Munafo and his group probably agree with?
A.Just smile as much as possible.
B.Misunderstanding is the root of violence.
C.Seeing smiles can lower aggression.
D.Control our anger to avoid violence and aggression.
