My parents met in Fiji when my father was a teacher as a Peace Corps volunteer and my mother a student. They taught me about its people, culture, foods and religious beliefs. At the age

18、 of two, I made my first trip across the Pacific Ocean to Fiji. My mother and I made that trip unexpectedly because my grandma was ill and longed to see her American granddaughter. Although I have few memories of that first trip, I do remember grandma braiding (编辫子)my hair every day. The brush glidi

19、ng through my hair is a feeling I will treasure forever because she passed away soon. I returned to America when I was five years old. This time I had a brother, Martin, who was two. I resisted my third trip to Fiji when I was 15, being a teenager who did not want to spend the summer away from frien

20、ds. It was this trip, however, that made me realize that Fiji is not just a place to visit but a part of who I am. The smells and sounds and sights came back to me, but the best part was getting to know my relatives. Vishal was one cousin I quickly bonded with. Born two days before me, I had only kn

21、own him through pictures before. Though raised oceans apart in different cultures, we talked and laughed about everything from American sports to Fijian dancing.

Use team building games and activities to get kids to understand the meaning of being in a team. Try to find some games that have kids work together on som

27、e kind of problem solving. Children naturally have a shorter attention span (一段时间) than adults so present it in a fun way. Create a reward system for teams that are able to work together in order to reach a common goal. When they solve the problem and receive a reward, it gives them initiative to ke

28、ep working hard and cooperating with others. The best games are those that require direct communication between team members.

44、sical requirements, the mountain slopes(山坡)wait for you. If you have never tried it before, you are sure to learn it in a few days, but safety comes first. Strangely, the relatively flat Karoo heartland (高原干旱地区) is one of the best areas to paraglide in. The towns of De Aar and Kuruman in the Norther

45、n Cape Province are centers of Karoo paragliding. South African paragliding has contributed to more than 50% of world records in this sport most of them in the Karoo areas. But why are paragliders so crazy about the Karoo? The cloud base there is so high up and the wind is proper and stable. You can

46、 glide for hours, going up as much as 4,000 meters skywards,they explain. Foreign pilots wanting a taste of South Africas paragliding opportunities can get a short-time license; they can hold it for 3 months at most. Medical examination and insurance are needed by the South African Hang Gliding and

47、Paragliding Association. The Western Cape has more than 60 official paragliding launch and flight sites.

51、discoveries into the origin of baleen whales (须鲸). The discovery was based on a 25 million-year-old fossil found near Torquay in Victoria Australia. Dr Fitzgeralds study, which is published in the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, is centred on mammalodon (乳齿鲸), a toothed baleen whale, whic

52、h includes the largest animal, the blue whale. Mammalodon discovered in 1932 and named in 1939, is an early baleen whale which still had teeth. Through study of mammalodon, I think that it was a bottom-feeding mud-sucker(吮吸者)that may have used its tongue to suck small prey from sand and mud on the s

53、eafloor. This shows early and varied experimentation in the evolution of baleen whales, explained Dr Fitzgerald. The research conducted by Dr Fitzgerald supports Charles Darwins theory in The Originof Species, that some of the earliest baleen whales may have been mud-suckers, and they were turned in

54、to the filter feeders of todays giants of the deep. Although mammalodon had a total body length of about 3 metres, it was other species of the whale leading to the 30-metre-long blue whale. The new research shows that mammalodon is a dwarf (矮人), having evolved into a relatively tiny form from larger

55、 ancestors. Mammalodon family is unique to southeast Australia, their fossils only being discovered in Victoria. Clearly the seas off southern Australia were a cradle (摇篮) for the evolution of a variety of tiny, strange whales that seem to have lived nowhere else,said Dr Fitzgerald.72. From this pas

56、sage we learn that mammalodon _. A. is the fossil of the tooth 25 million years agoB. was a toothless baleen whaleC. is a model of the whale living long long agoD. may have the same ancestors as modern blue whales73. How did mammalodon feed according to Dr Erich Fitzgerald? A. It ate some sea plants

57、 and small fishes. B. It sucked sand and mud.C. It used its tongue to suck small prey.D. It had sharp teeth and ate other creatures.74. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. During evolution the mammalodon became smaller.B. Mammalodon was not good at hunting for food.C. Mammalodon is one of

58、blue whales. D. Tiny whales are unique to southeast Australia. 75. Whats the main idea of this passage? A. Dr Erich Fitzgerald finds out Mammalodons evolution. B. Dr Erich Fitzgerald uncovers the secret to the origin of baleen whales.C. Southern Australia was the home to a lot of strange whales. D.

66、ut 57% of the students said that students shouldnt take extra courses. Students have had a very busy school year, so the summer holiday is the time for them to have a good rest. 36% of students hold the opposite belief. They believe that attending summer courses gives students a good chance to make progress in their studies. Yet, there are still 7% students who offer no clear opinion about it. In my opinion, students shouldnt attend any courses but they can make use of their holidays by developing their interests.
