Best places to visit in Australia

Are you looking for the best places to see in Australia? Here are the top 5 places to visit in Australia. It includes the best, the most beautiful and the most famous.

Sydney

For those who have made a flight from the other side of the world, if you come and don't see Sydney, it is a bit like going to Germany and not drinking a beer, or to England and not seeing London, or America and not trying a hot dog. There is plenty to see and do in Sydney apart from the well known attractions of the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, and Bondi beaches.

Byron Bay

Located in New South Wales, just south of the Queensland border, Byron Bay is popular with not just international tourists, but is also a favorite holiday destination of Australians. The lighthouse is amazing at sunset (and it is the most easterly part of mainland Australia). There are a range of music festivals over the year that attract international and local musicians alike.

The Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road, located in Victoria, is one of the best scenic drives of the world. Its official length is 243 kms (roughly 150 miles), but it will take you a full day to enjoy it due to the narrow and windy traffic lanes (only one in each direction).

Daintree Rainforest

Located in northern Queensland, roughly 110 kms north of Cairns, the rainforest is a nature wonderland. It is Australia's largest rainforest, about 20% of Australia's native bird species can be found within the Daintree.

The Great Barrier Reef

Nobody likes having to deal with an upset child. If your little one is hurt, scared or sad, your heart breaks for her. If she’s mad, it can make you mad. You want to be there for her and comfort her, but the best way to do that will depend mainly on two things: why she’s upset and how old she is. Be calm and open-minded when trying to comfort your upset child.

Try to find out why your child is upset, because that affects how you should respond and what will be most effective in trying to comfort her. Take her aside and sit down to talk on her level, physically and emotionally. Be sure she knows she has your complete attention while she’s telling you about the friend who wouldn’t share her new toy and so on. Even if you’ve got 20 other things you need to get done, make yourself take a break and focus on her for a few minutes.

Listen carefully to what your child says, and also pay attention to what she’s not saying. If she says she’s upset because “she hates her stupid school”, you must “choose to accept it” — to read between the lines. Maybe she’s struggling with her studies, or the teacher scolded(責備) her in front of everybody. Patiently listen and try to draw her out so you know what kind of problem you’re dealing with.

Sometimes just knowing someone hears her pain goes a long way toward comforting an upset child. Don’t make excuses or blame others, just let her know her feelings are natural and understandable. Give her permission to feel sad for a little bit or even cry a little, and give her a big hug. Then help her think of ways to get over the hurt and refocus her attention on another activity or friend.

1.What is the purpose of the author in the passage?

A. To show an upset child is very tough.

B. To share his experience of keeping a child.

C. To tell how to comfort an upset child.

D. To get advice on how to raise a child.

2. When faced with an upset child, the parents________.

A. may feel at a loss(不知所措）what to do next

B. should turn to experts for advice

C. should keep him company all the time

D. will easily get angry and frustrated

3.When parents have a talk with their child patiently, she can .

A. focus her attention on the talk

B. understand her parents easily

C. talk about her new toy with you

D. open her heart to the parents

4.The underlined part in the passage means to________.

A. advise her to tell the reason

B. drive her out of home

C. take her to the outside

D. blame her

Do you like somewhere a little bit different to the usual types of places you find on the high street? I do，so I’m glad to see new ones popping up(冒出)everywhere in London.

The so called pop-up shop is a temporary arrangement．In the aftermath(余波)of the financial crisis of 2008，many businesses had to shut down．Shops，warehouses and offices were left vacant when they stopped trading．Pop-up enterprisers occupied some of them quickly. For them the appeal of this temporary shopping concept is clear：they can start a business with much 1ower risk．The temporary nature of a pop-up shop gives the opportunity to test a product and develop a customer base，without being tied in to a long-term renting contract. Being small makes it much easier for pop-ups to expand if they are successful·

Pop-up shops first appeared in the UK in the early 2000s，with the economy booming. They were originally a way for small companies to rent retail space(零售場所)in great locations. This was while landlords who owned these spaces looked for permanent renters.

Pop-up shops can take a number of different forms．They might be temporary shops in the high street or a shopping centre．They might be simple market stalls(攤位). They could be based in some kind of transport，like a food truck．Or they could be run by people who visit different establishments，like travelling chefs who take over pub and restaurant kitchens temporarily．

According to a report by the Centre of Economic and Business Research，the pop-up industry was worth￡2.1bn and is expected to grow by 8.4％this year．Almost anything that can be on a high street can also be a pop-up．There have been pop-up shops，art galleries，theatres and restaurants among others．In an age of fast-changing habits，the pop-up idea might be here to stay．

1.What nature of the pop-up shops appeals many small companies?

A．Long-terra benefits． B．Lower prices.

C．Quick service． D．Temporary shopping concept．

2.Pop-up shops first appeared mainly because__________.

A．the economy hadn’t recovered

B．the economy was doing well

C．shops couldn’t meet needs

D．enterprisers failed in their business

3.Which groups are the main people involved in setting up pop-up shops?

①enterprisers ②landlords ③travelling chefs ④truck drivers

A．①③ B．②④ C．①② D．③④

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Pop-ups might be booming．

B．The pop-up idea is not promising．

C．The pop-up industry is growing slowly．

D．Pop-up shops are difficult to run．

When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.

One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’ s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there’s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.

I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum(課程) any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(學分). In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting(稀釋)” the quality of the education they offer.

In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’ s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(實習生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.

1.The first paragraph serves as a（n） .

A．explanation B．comment

C．definition D．introduction

2.In most US universities, .

A．college students are offered the co - op program

B．electives' credits make up one quarter of the required credits

C．a(chǎn)ll students are required to finish four - year education before graduation

D．some excellent students can graduate ahead of time

3.According to the passage, we can infer that 。

A． the author is a professor of a famous university

B． the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to afford

C．the author considers the university education quality very important

D． the author pays special attention to the all - round development of college students

4.Which of the following can be the best title?

A．It' s time to shorten the learning process

B． Best learning takes place over time

C．University education should be watered down

D．College education calls for reform

C

The book’s first and third sections deal with the adventures of an Alabama boy, Raphael Semmes Cody, who goes by the name Raff. The boy grows up knocking around the Nokobee woods; he’s drawn to its natural wonders, and uses the forest to escape from his parents’ unhappy marriage. In the woods he leaves almost no stone unturned as he discovers the forest’s rich flora and fauna(動植物). Raff grows up and heads to Harvard to study law, but returns later in life to protect the Nokobee from crazy developers. But fans of Wilson’s science will be most interested in the book’s middle section, where the author inserts a mini-novel describing the trials and sufferings of the ants living in the endangered forest.

Reviews of the book have been mixed. Writing for The New York Review of Books, Margaret Atwood praised Wilson for his first novel, saying that it is highlighted by a diversity of ideas and an imaginative plot. And — with the exception of some dull preachiness(說教) — it is entertaining.

2.In Anthill, ant societies differ from the human ones in that _____________.
