If you plan on visiting Fiji, you are probably looking for some fun things to do.
The Poseidon Undersea Resort
The Poseidon Undersea Resort is an underwater resort that gives visitors a beautiful view of marine life. This resort covers 255 acres. It’s covered and surrounded by a lagoon (環(huán)礁湖) that covers 5,000 acres and is about 90 feet underwater, giving you a beautiful view of marine life right before your eyes. This resort even has a hotel for those who would prefer to have the unusual experience of sleeping and waking to the beautiful scenery all around them.
The Sabeto Mud Pool
If you’re looking for something unusual to do, you can’t pass up the mud pool at Sabeto. It is located in a mountain range with a huge group of geothermal (地熱的) pools full of nice, warm mud. Getting down and into the mud in the pool is believed to have benefits for healthy skin. This is unusual, but adults and especially kids will love it.

New rules will let millions of Americans know where more of their food comes from. The law is known as COOL—Country of Origin Labeling.
American Congress first passed the law in 2002. Stores have had to label seafood by country of origin since 2005. But industry pressure delayed other requirements until last week.
Products that must now be labeled include fresh fruits and vegetables, muscle meats and some kinds of nuts. But the rules are complex, and many foods are excluded. For example, organ meats are free to be labeled. So are processed foods, including cooked or smoked food.
The United States has imported more and more food in recent years to save money and expand choices. Country-of-origin labeling has become more common lately but has still been limited in many stores.
Food safety is one reason why some shoppers pay close attention to where foods come from. For example, when a large number of people recently got sick from salmonella, officials blamed peppers from Mexico. Yet the last big food scare involved spinach (菠菜) grown in California. But labeling is also a way for people to know they are getting what they want. Some want to buy local foods or foods from a particular country.
The country-of-origin labeling law gives stores 30 days to correct any violations (違反) that are found. Stores and suppliers that are found to be deliberately violating the law could be fined 1000 dollars per violation. Federal inspectors are not to take action to enforce the law for six months to give time for an education campaign.
Some food safety activists say they are generally pleased with the law. They call it a good step that will give people more useful information.
1.What’s the regulation in the new rules?
A. Stores have to label seafood by country of origin.
B. The country-of-origin labeling has to be marked on more food.
C. Labeling of food should include more useful information.
D. Stores have to label food by its producing date from now on.
2.Consumers are more concerned about where foods come from because _________.
A. they are particular about the tastes of the food
B. they are curious about the country of the food origin
C. most of the shoppers are food safety activists themselves
D. they’re concerned about food safety and want to get what they want
3.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Store owners are most likely to be the supporters of the law.
B. Most Americans prefer imported vegetables to vegetables grown in local places.
C. The government of America will forbid importing peppers from Mexico.
D. The law was not fully carried out until last week because of food industry’s resistance.
