Discovering Tasmania
The island of Tasmania is separated from mainland Australia by the Bass Strait. The island is a place of natural beauty and has more than 2,000 km of walking tracks and 18 national parks. If you go on a tour, you'll discover a wild and beautiful place where the people are friendly and the food is delicious. If you don't like walking, there are other tours you can choose from including a river cruise and cycling. You can also combine your tour with fishing, sailing or sunbathing on the beach.
One of the most incredible places to walk is along the Tarkine coast which is located in the north-west of Tasmania. It's such a wild and remote area that you can easily complete your walk without seeing anyone apart from the members of your group and your two guides. The area contains the largest temperate rainforest in Australia which is home to more than 50 endangered species. It is also home to many Aboriginal Heritage Sites. Your guides will provide you with plenty of information about the area as you complete that part of your tour. During your tour, you'll come across rivers, mountain ranges, spectacular waterfalls, wildlife and long wild beaches. It will be an experience you won't easily forget.

【題目】A day in the life of 18-year-old David Lanster is full of typical teenage stuff: school, baseball practice, homework. And then he starts cooking.

“Some nights I’m up until I am making pies, or even later if we’re braising (蒸) beef,” said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida, US.

For the past year, Lanster and Kelly Moran, his classmate, have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lanster’s parents’ home. Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by them.

Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them, until the pair decided to do something nice for charity (慈善).

“We got some really great Miami Heat tickets, a nice watch, and many kitchen gadgets (小物件),” Lanster said. “But we wanted to make this something positive for people other than us.”

Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads, a charity that aims to teach kids in poor communities (社區(qū)) to cook and make healthy eating choices.

The young cooks ask their guests to give however much they want as payment for their meals. It all goes to Common Threads because Lanster’s parents cover their food costs. After their last 12-person event, Lanster and Moran gave $1,600 (10,600 yuan) to the charity.

Now, they’re taking their show out of the kitchen and on the road. Lanster and Moran have started to organize private dinner parties with a similar model: the host pays for the ingredients, and the guests make a donation to a charity of their choice.

Without formal (正規(guī)的) training, Lanster said he had been interested in cooking since he helped his mom in the kitchen when he was very young. He learned how to cook by reading cookbooks and watching TV programs.

Outside the kitchen, the two are busy preparing their college applications. Neither is sure what they will do in the future, but they’ve promised their parents that they’ll leave professional cooking alone until they finish school.

【1】How is Lanster’s life different from other teenagers’ lives?

A. He stays up late to finish homework.

B. He plays baseball every day after school.

C. He goes to a cooking school in his spare time.

D. He holds dinner parties to collect money for charity.

【2】After each dinner party, Lanster and Moran ______.

A. receive thank-you cards from the guests

B. cover the food costs with the money they have collected

C. ask their guests to donate money to charity

D. visit the poor children at Common Threads

【3】Which of the following about Lanster and Moran is TRUE?

A. They received formal cooking training before starting their dinner parties.

B. They hate going to school and trying to do something different.

C. They’ve made up their minds to become professional chefs.

D. Their way of giving to charity is different from others.

【4】Which of the following words best describe Lanster and Moran?

A. Creative and helpful. B. Humorous and optimistic.

C. Outgoing and patient. D. Confident and cautious.
