Whether you’re up for a Crocodile Dundee’s adventure or you’d just like a taste of the Australian sun, the beaches in and around Sydney can offer you all that and more.

Sydney Beach

Sydney Beach is located at Sydney’s northernmost tip on an extension(延伸) of land ending at Palm Beach. Before checking out the golden sand, take a quick tour of the houses of millionaires from the art and film industries.

Palm Beach

Only about an hour from downtown Sydney, Palm Beach offers a long stretch(延伸) of clean sand and water. With parking near the center of the beach, that leaves the rest of it as a peaceful location with a sparse population, from which you can go surfing but take care — without the huge crowds of other Sydney’s beaches, Palm Beach doesn’t afford quite the safety level to be found elsewhere. Volunteer lifesavers are on duty only on weekends and holidays.

Bondi Beach

For the famous beach, Bondi Beach has to be your choice. Parking is difficult to find even on slow days, so consider taking public transport to this world—known beach in the eastern Sydney suburbs. Easily reachable by taxi, bus, and rail, Bondi Beach offers sun bathing, swimming, snorkeling, and all sorts of water sports fun. If you’re in the mood for a bit of exercise, two scenic coastal walks will afford you great views and sights along the shore. Take in views from Mackenzie’s Point. It starts at Bondi and heads south to Bronte Beach. But don’t try to swim in Mackenzie’s Bay — it holds dangers such as hidden rocks.

Bronte Beach

Your second choice for a scenic coastal walk covers a few miles and takes you from Bronte Beach to Waverly Cemetery, where many famous Australians are buried, including the poet Henry Lawson.

1.Which of the following shows the right order of the beaches lined from the south to the north?

A. Palm Beach—Sydney Beach—Bronte Beach—Bondi Beach

B. Bronte Beach—Bondi Beach—Palm Beach—Sydney Beach

C. Sydney Beach—Palm Beach—Bondi Beach—Bronte Beach

D. Bondi Beach—Bronte Beach—Palm Beach—Sydney Beach

2.The underlined word "sparse" probably means ________.

A. largeB. thickC. thinD. crowded

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. If you want to enjoy a walk, you can choose Bondi Beach or Bronte Beach.

B. If you want to swim in Palm Beach, the safer time is on weekdays and holidays.

C. If you want to visit the famous people’s tombs, you can choose Sydney Beach.

D. If you want to visit Palm Beach, the airplane is your best choice.

4.What’s the purpose of the text?

A. It aims to show the scenery of the beaches in and around Sydney.

B. It aims to introduce the culture and customs in and around Sydney.

C. It aims to show the activities on the beaches in and around Sydney.

D. It aims to attract the visitors to the beaches in and around Sydney.

Hearst Castle is a park on the central California coast and a National Historic Landmark. It was designed by Julia Morgan for William Randolph Hearst from 1919 until 1947. In 1957, the owner donated the fortune to the state of California. Since that time it has been a state historic park where its large collection of art and antiques are open for public tours. Despite its location far from any urban center, the site attracts roughly one million visitors per year.

• Tour Two gives visitors a closer look at the main house's upper floors, Mr. Hearst's private suite, the libraries, and the kitchen.

• Tour Three looks at the Castle's North Wing, guest rooms and guest house Casa Del Monte.

• Tour Four includes the impressive gardens and grounds, the largest guesthouse, the wine basement, and the Hidden Terrace.

• The evening tour is a special tour that allows visitors to experience the Castle at night as one of the Hearst's own visitors might have.

Last summer I did some fruit-picking. It is pretty hard work. I had to start in 7 am and pick for a good eight hour. But it was such cheerful that we had great fun. Some of we had guitars, so in the evenings we had barbecues and played a bit music together. I only got about $80 a week, but at the least they gave me all my meals, and the food was not that awfully. Basic accommodation was also supplying. Still, I’m afraid I won’t be going fruit-picking this summer, because I’ve got a temporary job in town what pays better.

A survey basing on 1,000 students found that half of the pupils and 80% of the middle school students sleeps less than nine hours every night. Too many homework given by school teachers and parents is the main reasons. Other reason lies in students’ bad habits. Some students, for example, are absent-minded while doing his homework, and some waste their after-class time. The third reason is because some students have to get up early on weekdays to get school far away from home. Experts are calling at schools and parents to cut down on the amount of homework. And students should make a good use of their time. And it would be better if they could choose to study in a nearby school.

What if our babies could somehow tell us what they’re thinking about, what they want, and what makes them unhappy? Robyn Holt, researcher for Baby Talk New Zealand, says they can. Holt heard about baby sign language through an advertisement and decided to go along to a workshop (研討會(huì)).

“Sign language is something that’s always interested me, and I thought, it could be really cool to try this with a baby because we are always guessing all the time what they actually want.”

Holt started using baby sign language with her baby son Benjamin, now 12, and within two weeks he started to sign the sign for milk. She has since used it with her two younger sons Dominic, 8, and Matthew, 3.

Baby sign language is nothing new: the practice (which is based on adult sign language) has been out in America for more than 30 years. But it is enjoying a rebirth in New Zealand.

The idea behind baby sign language is that babies do have the ability to communicate their needs if they are given the right tools to do so. Although many mothers develop an intuition (直覺) about whether their baby’s crying is from hunger, tiredness, or pain, baby sign language creates a direct form of communication that unlocks the mystery.

When babies are between 6-months and 12 to 13-months, parents can begin to teach them sign language: use the sign for milk while feeding, and also talk about milk, so that the child begins to make the link (關(guān)聯(lián)) in their brain. Then they can begin to add other signs, i.e. food, sick or pain.

“I know of one parent. Her child was signing the sign for hurt by his mouth, and she realised his first teeth were growing. It makes life so much easier,” said Holt.

1.Why did Holt go to the baby sign language workshop?

A. To entertain her own children.

B. To better understand babies’ needs.

C. To help babies with language problems.

D. To develop a new system of sign language.

2.According to the text, baby sign language _____.

A. has been used in New Zealand for 30 years

B. can easily make the parents understood

C. has developed from adult sign language

D. was designed by Robyn Holt

3.What does the underlined part “the mystery” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. The ability to communicate.

B. Mothers’ intuitions.

C. The cause of the baby’s crying.

D. Baby sign language.

4.Holt mentioned a parent and her child to show baby sign language is _____.

A. helpful B. difficult

C. interesting D. special
