                                                                               Cape Verde
     Introduction
     Consisting of 10 main islands and eight smaller islets off the west coast of Africa, Cape Verde is an
archipelago with a lot to offer tourists, whether they are looking for a relaxing beach holiday, great surfing
or a hiking trip in valcanic and mountainous landscape. Sal, the main tourist island, has wonderful sandy
beaches to rival any in the world and also fantastic surfing and diving spots. With its warm climate all year
round, wonderfully dirverse landscapes, friendly locals and great food and music, Cape Verde really is an
attractive destination.
1.                          
     With year round warmth and cold ocean currents helping to keep the temperatures from rising too high, Cape Verde has an attractive climate for torists, and the majority of visitors are Western Europeans. The
people who go to Cape Verde for the beach life tend to be families, while it is quite a young, adventure-
seeking crowed that goes there for the diving or surfing.
2.                          
     Cape Verde is located in the Atlantic Ocean some 500 km to the west of the Afican continent. Indeed,
the name itself is taken from the name of that western－most tip, which can be found on Senegal. The
islands are divided into two groups-the Barlavento (windward islands) and the Sotavento (leeward islands).
3.                          
     With warm sunny days year round there really is no bad time to go to Cape Verde.Some visitors might
preder to visit in winter and spring when daytime temperatures are a couple of degrees cooler and rarely
exceed 25 ?
4.                          
     The resorts on Sal have plenty of facilities for families and the beaches by Santa Maria are great for
kids, with their white, fine sand. On some of the islands it is possible to do a bit of bird and turtle spotting
without intruding too much on their habitats, and on Sao Vicente and Santiago it is possible to go horse
riding.
5.                          
     On the islands public transport services are by minibuses or trucks. Taxis in central areas are cheap.
Between the islands of Santiago, Sao Vicente and Sal there are flights at least once daily. Flights to the
other islands are less frequent. TACV Cabo Verde Airlines (www.flytacv.com) is the main operator. There
are regular ferry services between the islands, but departures are sometimes unpredictable.

閱讀理解。
     A university graduate described as a "respectable and intelligent" woman is seeking professional help
after being convicted of (證明有……罪) shoplifting for the second time in six months.
     Ana Luz, recently studying for her PhD, has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can
control the desire to steal from shops.
     Luz,who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road, Cambridge,admitted stealing clothes worth ￡9.95
from John Lewis in Oxford Street,London, on March 9.
     Phillip Lemoyne, prosecuting (起訴), said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to
the ladies' toilet in the store. When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected,
having taken off the anti-theft security alarms (防盜警報(bào)裝置).
     She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying, Mr Lemoyne said. He added that she
was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions.

Duff, defending, said she had never been in trouble with the police before that.

said. "She didn't intend to steal when she went into the store. She is at a loss to explain it. She is otherwise a
very respectable and intelligent young lady. She went to her doctor and asked for advice because she wants
to know if there is anything in particular that caused her to do this."
     Judge David Azan fined Luz ￡50, and warned: "You've got a criminal record.If you carry on like this,you
will end up in prison,which will ruin your bright future you may have."

Germany for her master's degree and is now studying for a PhD at Cambridge University,UK.
