A
One of the main points of traveling is to relax and take a break from your normal daily life. But the truth is, we’re not always free to do what we like when traveling to a foreign country, and a US tourist learned that the hard way.
On Aug 12, the unnamed 41 -year-old man was beaten by a passerby after he was seen giving Nazi salutes (纳粹礼) again and again on a street in Dresden, Germany. Ever since the end of World War Ⅱ, Germany has strict laws forbidding the Nazi salute, as well as other symbols of Nazism.
In fact, most countries have their own taboos (禁忌).If you plan to travel overseas, it’s best to get familiar with these taboos before you start touring local sites. Here are some examples. Singapore
You can get fined for a lot of things in Singapore, including feeding birds, spitting (吐痰), smoking in public, not flushing (冲) a public toilet after you use it, and eating or drinking on buses or trains.
Japan
You’re not supposed to wear your shoes in someone’s house, but you’re not supposed to take your shoes off outside the house either. Instead, there’s a small area inside the door called a “genkan” which is where your shoes should go. If you’re still not sure where that is, pay attention to what other people do and do the same.
France
French people don’t like it when you talk about money. It’s OK if you say that you want to quit a job because you aren’t paid enough money, but you should never say the exact amount. Money is considered to be a “dirty” topic in Fr ance.

When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs.Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d hiked up to h er doorstep, there’d be a cold drink waiting, I’d sit and drink while she talked.
Mrs.Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, “Mr.Stanley and I went shopping this morning.” she’d say. The first time s he said that, soda (汽水) went up my nose.
I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地).
I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser (募捐活动).She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.
I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “F ine”, she sticks around to hear my problems. She’s lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever p eople ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.

Flying to another country can sometimes take several days. But the designer of a futuristic jet (喷气式飞机) says his plane could take you around the world in your lunch break.
According to an article in TheSun, theplane called the Antipode, could carry 10 people and use rocket boosters (火箭助推器) to go12 km high. Then it could fly from London to New York in less than 20 minutes, or from New York to Shanghai in 24 minutes.
A normal Boeing 747 has a top speed of 917 km/h. The fastest plane in the world right now is Air Force One. It carries the president of the United States and can reach 1,092 km/h. But the Antipode would be capable of reaching a crazy 25,750 km/h!
Canadian designer Charles Bombardier says his plane could be 10 times faster than the Concorde, which could fly at 2,180 km/h. The Concorde used to be the w orld’s fastest passenger plane between 1976 and 2003. But the Concorde was very noisy and its nose got dangerously hot when it flew, A Concorde crashed in 2000, killing 114 people. No Concordes were flown again after 2003.
The Antipodes design includes a special nose that stops it from overheating and having the same problems that the Concorde did. New technology, recently tested by NASA, makes the Antipode the perfect shape and weight to fly fast and safely.
“It’s always something that people would like — a transportation system that could take you from one place on the planet to the other side,” Mr Bombardier told the BBC.
Don’t try to buy a ticket on the plane yet, though. The design is just a concept and will need more research before it becomes a reality.
8. What is the biggest difference between the Antipode and other normal planes?
A. It can fly much faster.
B. It can hold many more people.
C. It can fly much higher.
D. It can be much safer.
9. Which of the following about the planes is NOT true?
A. A Boeing 747 can reach a speed of 917 km/h.
B. Air Force One is the fastest plane in the world.
C. The president of the United States usually takes a Boeing 747.
D. The Antipode could be about 24 times faster than Air Force One.
10. What do we know about the Concorde?
a. It used to be the world’s biggest passenger plane.
b. It made loud noises when it was flying.
c. Its nose got dangerously hot when it
d. It stopped flying after 2000.
A. ab
B. be
C. cd
D. ad
11. According to the story, we know that ________.
A. a US designer designed the Antipode
B. people now can book a ticket to fly on the Antipode
C. the Antipode has already been produced
D. the Antipode won’t have the problems that the Concorde had
D
When it comes to eating, most of us don’t have to go very far. But for many bird species, finding food may mean traveling hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
A team of researchers from institutions in the UK and Ireland spent five years tracking (追踪) four species of seabird to monitor their travel patterns. It was discovered that over the five years, the species covered an area of 1.5 million square kilometers when hunting for food-almost four times the size of Japan.
The findings were published recently in the journal Ecological Applications. As part of the study, over 1,300 birds were fitted with GPS tags to track their movements. It was discovered that most of them search for fish in the same place-waters off the coast of Scotland.
As a result of this, organizations such as the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) will spend more time trying to preserve coastal Scotland.
“For the first time, this study provides us with a full map for each breeding colony (繁殖群体) of the feeding areas for some of our most important seabird species,” wrote the study’s lead author Ewan Wakefield, from the University of Glasgow.
“That means we can now protect the places these birds catch the fish they need to feed their hungry chicks.”
The findings could also affect the future building of offshore wind turbines (满轮机). Although wind turbines help to fight climate change by providing a green source of energy, their huge blades (刀片) are blamed for the deaths of thousands of birds each year, as they often fly into them.
Stuart Housden, director of RSPB Scotland, said in a news release that although climate change is a huge threat to both humans an d nature alike, we should “invest in an energy system that works for both people and our natural heritage.”
To protect both nature and the environment, the RSPB supports the building of turbines in areas that won’t have “significant adverse (不利的) impacts on important bird populations or their habitats,” it wrote on its website.
12. What did the scientists from the UK and Ireland find about the four species of seabird?
A. They have totally different travel patterns.
B. They prefer to catch fish in places near their nests.
C. Climate change has influenced their hunting distance.
D. They can travel a very long distance to find food.
13. According to the article, why is the research important?
A. It shows what a perfect living environment for seabirds is.
B. It was the first to use GPS technology to track seabirds.
C. It could guide people on how to better protect seabirds.
D. It provides more information about the diet of seabirds.
14. Wind turbines are a threat to seabirds because ________.
A. they produce noise that could disturb seabirds
B. their strong airflow could influence the flight of seabirds
C. their big blades may kill the seabirds that fly by
D. they force seabirds to move away from their habitats
15. According to the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, ________.
A. no more wind turbines should be built in the future
B. we should think of more measures to protect the climate
C. the government should invest more money to protect seabirds
D. we should consider wildlife when we build turbines in the future
