While beach vacations may be a great way to take your mind off work, people tend to forget about lakes, which can be as equally beautiful a travel destination as beach holidays. If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus.
1). Lake Van
Lake Van is the must－visit of all lakes on this list. The largest lake in Turkey, Lake Van is located on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake there. It's situated at 5，380ft above sea level, and unique to lakes around the world, the water is high in salt content.
2) .Lake Cildir
Lake Cildir is located in Ardahan Province, East Turkey, near the borders of Georgia and Armenia. It is the second largest freshwater lake in Eastern Turkey, and many tourists are not aware of this beautiful attraction. Lake Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus. The lake freezes during late November. If the winter is not harsh, you can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing.
3). Lake Paravani
Lake Paravani is located in the south of Georgia. This time, the elevation(海拔)gets a little higher, as this lake is located at 6，801ft above sea level.

My brother, Gene, never hesitated to learn new things. He had an artistic hand, so he went into fine arts for a while. He also did a lot of screens about computers. He became so good at it that the school hired him to teach there after he completed his studies. My younger brother also pursued computers, following in his footsteps.

Many people don’t consider their breakfast without a glass of milk. Right now, cows, buffalos, goats and sheep provide most of the world’s milk. But soon, people could get milk from roaches(蟑螂).
That isn’t as crazy as it might sound. New research shows this “milk” is super-nutritious. What’s more, some scientists have already begun referring to a lot of insects as source of milk.
In 2004, Subramanian Ramaswamy started studying milk crystals found inside the roach. At the time, he was teaching biochemistry at the University of Iowa City.
To learn more about the milk crystal from roaches, the scientists used X-rays to look at the atoms in it. The data basically revealed the chemical recipe of the roach crystal. They showed that roach milk is a “complete food”. It contains sugar with a fatty acid stuck to it. Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. The protein in the milk is also full of essential amino(氨基的) acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Since our bodies can’t produce the “essential” ones, we need to get them from our food. And so do baby roaches.
Barbara Stay, a biologist at Iowa University, also worked on the new study. She says the new data show that the roach milk is “three times more nutritious than cow’s milk and four times more nutritious than buffalo’s milk”.
Ramaswamy would like to see roach milk turned into a protein supplement to feed hungry people. But not everyone is confident that it can be done.
Marcel Dicke studies insects as a potential source of human food at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. Dicke says this is a “sound study”. However, in his opinion, “Extracting(提取) milk from roaches can only likely be done in a destructive way with only small quantities”. That means you’d have to raise and kill many bugs to get even tiny quantities of the milk.
28. What is the opinion of the scientists about milk in Paragraph 2?
A. Many insects are sources of milk.
B. Milk is an important part of breakfast.
C. Milk from insects is the most nutritious.
D. Milk from insects is well accepted now.
29. What can we know about the use of roach milk in life?
A. It will replace the milk from animals like cows.
B. Scientists think it the key to solving world hunger.
C. All people don’t think it can be used in life soon.
D. Most people depend on roach milk from protein.
30. According to Marcel Dicke, extracting insect milk on a large scale is ________.
A. simple
B. challenging
C. safe
D. necessary
31. What should be the best title for the text?
A. Roach milk has been found scientifically
B. Roach milk could be produced industrially
C. Roach milk could be a new super food
D. Roach milk will be widely used soon
D
Philip Pullman spent a great deal of his childhood traveling abroad because both his father and stepfather were pilots in the Royal Air Force(皇家空军). As a child, he went on several long ocean voyages, and he lived in Africa and in Australia. “Before I was 11 I had been to eight different schools.”
“In Australia, I made a great discovery. TV hadn’t reached Australia yet, but everyone listened to the radio. I remember listening to gangster serials(黑帮剧), and cowboy serials, and best of all-----Superman! When I first saw a superman comic(连环漫画), it changed my life. I’d been reading books for a long time, but I’d never known comics before. Soon afterwards, I discovered Batman, too, whom I loved even more.”
Pullman started writing his first novel the day after he had finished his final exams at Oxford University. “ I discovered after about an hour that it was much harder than I’d expected. It still is! I found that the amount I could write comfortably every day was about three pages, so that’s what I’ve done ever since.”
Before he became a full-time writer, Pullman had been teaching for many years. “What I enjoyed most during that time was telling stories over and over, until I knew them as well as I knew my own life.” He had always loved telling stories----as a
schoolboy he had entertained his friends by reading stories to them, or by making up his own.
One day he got a letter that had arrived at his door even though the writer of the letter didn’t know his address. The envelope(信封) just said, “Philip Pullman, The Storyteller, Oxford.”

On a typical hot August day in Xianyou County, Fujian Province, Zeng Demei, a retired worker in his seventies, hurries down a busy street. In his hand is a black leather bag. Zeng opens his bag, taking out two forms. 36
Each of the forms contains detailed information of a student. On his arrival two hours later a woman greets him and leads him to her office where another man is
waiting. They are the two village officials. They inspect the forms handed to them by Zeng and immediately recognize the girls. 37 “It’s a pity but it doesn’t matter.” says Zeng, who wastes no time in deciding to look for the remaining child, Su Qiuju.
After half an hour, they stop outside a small house made of mud brick. A middle-aged man and a girl in a faded pink dress greet them. Su Qiuju is eight years old. She was forced to drop out of school after both her parents died. She is now living with her uncle who cannot afford his own children’s education. However, the year of education Su Qiuju did complete was a successful one. 38 .
When they are about to leave, Zeng says, “I must find a supporter for this girl to sponsor her education.” Zeng has made it his retirement task to help children complete their schooling. Back in 1999, Zeng took part in a campaign started by the local women’s organization to help students from poor families. 39 His task had begun and since then he has spent his time persuading his friends and neighbors and others to donate money. “To me, children’s education is the most important. 40 I have to find sufficient funding before the school opens in September.”
When asked how long he will keep up his vital w ork as the community’s guardian angel, he has a simple reply. “Not until my eyes can’t see, and my feet can’t move.”

B. These are for the two girls he’s going to visit this morning.
C. They live in a small village not very far, though only one of the girls is still living at home
