Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Europe is home to a variety of cultural treasures.Lonely Planet，the world’s largest travel guide publisher，has offered pairs of cities for culture­hungry but time­poor travelers.
London and Paris
It takes you about two hours to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar，a high­speed railway service.The two capital cities have been competing in fashion，art and nightlife for decades—but each secretly looks up to the other.
No one can doubt the grand and impressive b eauty of Paris’ Louvre Museum，but if you want to save money，you cannot skip the British Museum free to pared with London，Paris has more outdoor attractions such as the beautiful green walkway La Promenade Plantee.
In Paris，you’ll see diners linger over red wine.While in London，you can try some afternoon tea，eat fish and chips or salted cake.
Vienna and Bratislava
Austrian capital Vienna and Slovakia city Bratislava are an hour apart by train.But since they are linked by the Danube River，the best way to travel is by ship.A tour of the two cities is the perfect way to experience everything from 17th century’s Habsburg dynasty splendor to sci­fi restaurants.
Vienna is famous for Mozart and imperial palaces.You can appreciate the perfect blending of architecture and nature in the grand Schonbrunn Palace，and reward yourself with a cup of Vienna coffee，which has made its way to the world’s cultural heritage list.
Bratislava is best known for its fine dining—the remarkable UFO restaurant.You can enjoy a meat-laden dinner here in an amazing setting.

Born in Australia without arms or legs，30­year­old Nick Vujicic has become an international symbol of victory.His life has been filled with one hurdle after the next.But you’ll hear no self­pity from Vujicic，whose book，Unstoppable，was published last month.“My limbless challenge remains.I cannot change that，”says Vujicic，who counts sky­diving and surfing among his hobbies.“But what I can，and did change is my attitude.”
It is Vujicic’s spirit that has made him a sell­out speaker，traveling the world to share his story.Describing low points in his life，including a suicide attempt at age 10 and a failing business in his 20s，he says the “three Fs”are what got him through：friends，family and faith.“I can honestly say，the fear of being alone during the most difficult times in my life was worse than living without arms and legs...Hard times make you humble(卑微)．You realize that you do need people to help you when you are not able to do it all yourself.”
A few years ago，confronted with the increasing business debt，Vujicic says he nearly gave up to self-destructive thoughts.But he set small goals：Get out of bed，eat breakfast，leave the house.Those small successes built his confidence to move forward to the next level.“There is nothing about failure that is easy，”he sa ys.“But it is also true that our failures in life teach us to embrace every small victory.Success is that much sweeter when you have struggled to reach it.”
Family and friends are a safety net，including wife Kanae who is expecting their first child.“My parents always taught me，‘You don’t know what you are able to do until you try，’”he recalls.“The first time you fail at anything is painful.But you have a decision：Do you give up or do you try again？”
