Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands, Ecuador,watching the sun move quietly into the sea，you shouldn't forget that Charles Darwin (1809―1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired his famous work, On the Ori?gin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin's footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands.
The islands are certainly a paradise(天堂) for wildlife,as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under gov?ernment control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago,each day is as impressive as it could be. The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise(巨型海龜) ，which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Santa Cruz,the second largest island in the archipelago(群島) .Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself.
Despite strict control over activities and timing,your stay on the Galapa?gos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you;feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim;and,most magically,seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.
Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board of the ship,leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.

A.He studied different creatures on the islands.
B.He completed his famous book on the islands.
C.He was touched by the geography of the islands.
D.He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands.
7.Which of the following plays a role in making the islands a paradise for wildlife?
A.Animals on the islands feed on grass.
B.Local government forbids feeding wildlife.
C.People cannot visit the islands as they wish.
D.Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.
8.Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of ________.
A. the beautiful sea views B* Darwin's inspiring
C. a closer view of animals D. various daring activities

You've just come home,after living abroad for a few years. Since you've been away,has this country changed for the better―or for the worse?
If you've just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight's holiday,small changes have probably surprised you—a local greengrocer's suddenly being re?placed by a mobile phone shop to someone in your street moving house.
So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven,ten or even fifteen years living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed—or now take for granted? To find out,we asked some people who recently returned.
Debi: When we left, Cheltenham,my hometown,was a town of white,middle-class families―all very conservative(保守的) .The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians,who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners.
Having been an immigrant(移民) myself,I admire people who go over?seas to find a job. Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high,I'd think differently,but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they're more open-minded and often work harder than the natives.
Christine: As we flew home over Britain,both of us remarked how green everything looked. But the differences between the place we'd left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed.
To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frighte?ning―in Cyprus,they're very relaxed―and I got pulled over by customs of?ficers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metal-made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seemed to be on guard. Even the airport car-hire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.
But anyway,this is still a green,beautiful country. I just wish more peo?ple would appreciate what they've got.
6.After a short overseas holiday,people tend to
A.notice small changes
B.expect small changes
C.welcome small changes
D.exaggerate small changes
7.How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?
A. Cautiously. B. Positively.
C. Sceptically. D. Critically.
8.When arriving at the airport in Britain,Christine was shocked by
A.the relaxed policemen
B.the messy arrivals hall
C.the tight security
D.the bank robbers
9.Which might be the best title for the passage?
A. Life in Britain B. Back in Britain
C. Britain in future D. Britain in Memory
