Most of my earliest childhood memories are of the beach-in the hot sun, building sandcastles,
burying Dad in the sandNow the coast has a pleasant and relaxing attraction beyond words. I looked
forward to a windy cliff-top walk or a rainy day rock-picking just as much as those rare moments when
Iget to a short sleep in the sun. But there"s nothing more pleasurable than turning up at a beach to find it
deserted.
These are my favourite secret beaches-ones either not well known or take a bit of effort to get to.
Most of those listed scored highly in the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide 2009; the
others are too secret even for them.
Sennen Clove is just a mile northeast of Land"s End, the westernmost point of mainland England. It"s
a beautiful spot, with white sands, deep green sea and amazing sunsets over the Isles(群岛) of Scilly, 28
miles away.
The west-facing beach is popular with surfers, with bigger waves and winds often found at the Gwenver end. There"s a beach restaurant with good views of the bay and the sunsets.
The smallest of Isles of Scilly, Bryher is a mile long, half a mile wide-and a natural wilderness of
unbelievable scenery. Walk along the narrow sandy roads to the eastern seaboard and you come to
two quiet beaches.
Green Bay has views over to the palm trees of Tresco"s Abbey Gardens, and a little further south is
Rushy Bay, a beautiful beach facing the deserted island of Samson.
On Bryher, farm shops sell locally grown produce, and they trust you to leave the money in the pot.
It"s that kind of place.
B. Secret Beaches on the British Isles
C. The Most Pleasurable Place in Britain
D. My Experience of Searching Beaches
B. The author likes walking on a rainy cliff-top most
C. The author wrote the article to advertise for the beaches
D. the author loves beaches that are not known to most people
(LE=Land"s End SC=Sennen CoveIS=the Isles of Scilly)

举一反三
who has traveled to Amsterdam would probably agree on one thing: Amsterdam"s story is a tale
of two cities-one during the day and a completely different one at night.
During the day, the largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on the Amstel River.You can
rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum, or take a water taxi.But when the sun
goes down, the partying begins.In the big clubs and in coffee shops, tourists gather to hang out,
talk politics and smoke.
Several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam.And they"re all within
a short cab ride of each other.For example, Dam Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals,
open markets, concerts and other events.Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found
there.And there"s the Royal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall.
But at night party-seekers come to the square.Hip hop or funk music is heard there.So if you
come, be ready to dance.The clubs don"t shut down until 4 am.
And while you"re there, check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city.Don"t worry
about getting lost.Although Dutch is the official language, most people in Amsterdam speak English
and are happy to help you with directions.And you"ll notice that half the people in the streets are
on bicycles they rent.
Amsterdam also has a well-planned canal system.For about 10 dollars, you can use the canal
bus or a water taxi to cruise(巡游) the "Venice of the North".
The city has a historic past.One impressive place to visit is the Anne Frank House on Nine
Streets.It was there that the young Jewish girl wrote her famous diary during World War II.Visitors
can view Anne"s original diary and climb behind the bookcase to the room where she and her family
hid from the Nazis for two years.
B. A bicycle.
C. A canal bus.
D. A water taxi.
B. Dutch or English
C. only English
D. Spanish and English
B. The glorious past of Amsterdam.
C. The life of Jewish during World War ?.
D. The suffering of the Dutch in wars.
B. tell readers what A Tale of Two Cities is about
C. instruct visitors what to do and see in Holland
D. offer readers some information about Amsterdam
dressed with lights and other colorful decorations.
Families might buy a cut tree or go to a tree farm and cut one down themselves. Some people bring a
live tree in a pot into their home for the holidays and then put it back outdoors. Some people rent a
Christmas tree. Companies might bring the same live tree to the same family year after year. Or the tree
might get planted in a park or someplace else where it could help the environment.
There are some trees that can be reused year after year because they are made of plastic or metal. Or,
instead of a tree, some people have a small, sweet-smelling rosemary (迷迭香) plant, cut to look like a
little Christmas tree.
Another plant that many people connect with Christmas is the poinsettia (一品红). Poinsettias are
native to Mexico. They can be white or pink, but most are bright red. They are named after the first
American ambassador to Mexico. Joel Poinsett liked them enough to send some back to the United
States. Babies or pets that chew on poinsettias might get sick. But experts say the plant is not as poisonous as some people think.
Like millions of other houses, the home of America"s first president is decorated for Christmas. George Washington"s Mount Vernon Estate is in Virginia. Visitors can hear stories about what Christmas was like at Mount Vernon in the eighteenth century. The museum where visitors begin their tour is decorated with
Christmas trees.
B. The decoration of Christmas trees.
C. The tradition of Christmas trees in America.
D. The history of Christmas in America.
B. Americans have various ways to get a Christmas tree
C. a Christmas tree must be planted after it is used
D. every family will change their Christmas trees every year
B. save money on Christmas trees
C. help protect the environment
D. hope for the best in the coming year
B. he wanted his people to remember him
C. he wanted to plant them in his home
D. he was very fond of them
B. They are considered to be very poisonous by experts.
C. They are not widely used as Christmas trees.
D. They can only make the old and pets sick.
"I"m having a dinner party" means: "I"m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant and we"ll be sharing the
cheque evenly (平均地), no matter what you eat." In Manhattan there is always someone who leaves
before the bill arrives. They"ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who
don"t drink, end up paying even more. But if you try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: "Where
are you going ?" And I cannot say I have somewhere to go because everyone knows I have nowhere to
go.
But in London, dinner parties are in people"s homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix.
The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a
gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the mix is less striking. It"s like a gathering at
Bloomingdatle"s, a well-known department store.
For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York.
But at Mallery"s, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was, while In
New York people would think it was a usual club.
B. Try
C. Style
D. Goal
B. The restaurants are expensive.
C. The bill is not fairly shared.
D. People have to pay cash.
B. Full of tricks
C. Less costly
D. More interesting
B. Self-centered.
C. Generous.
D. Conservative.

This inspiring and motivational children"s book is based on a true story that began with Kailee"s visit
with her mother to a food bank to provide much needed food for poor families. After a call from Kailee"s
school asking her to spearhead donations to a local food bank, Elizabeth Hoadley took her daughter to the grocery store to select the food that they would give.
Kailee was full of questions for her mother -Who would get the food? Were there children involved?
Did the children have toys to play with, a bed to sleep on and a coat to keep them warm? The
Thanksgiving Coat is a direct result of Kailee"s probing questions and her concern about the children who might be hungry and cold.
The Thanksgiving Coat speaks to the values and beliefs that we should all develop and pass on to our children. But, Hoadley is very specific about how to sensitize our children to the issues of homelessness
and hunger without scaring them.
Because of the urgent call for help from the food bank, Hoadley was able to join with Kailee in creating a way to reach out to others who didn"t have as much as they did and needed help. Children will learn the
lesson of giving and gratitude when they read The Thanksgiving Coat, and it may inspire them to create
their own methods of giving.
