(2018·郑州市第一次质检)Traveling to Europe to see its famous monuments like the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Colosseum (古罗马竞技场) in Rome, is not exactly the ideal vacation for kids. Fortunately, Europe has more to offer than lots of old churches and ancient history. You can enjoy some fun with your kids in the sun at some of the famous beaches of the continent.
Mykonos, Greece
The closer you get to the equator, the longer the beach season is, and Greece is wonderful for that. You can enjoy beautiful green water, public chairs and lovely umbrellas at the beaches in Mykonos.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
There's nothing more attractive than the beautiful beaches bordering Dubrovnik, Croatia's most beautiful city. It's surrounded by stone walls like a castle. It almost makes you feel like you're suntanning (日光浴) at Hogwarts, where the hero Harry Potter of the story is trained!
Sicily, Italy
Rabbit Beach on the island of Sicily offers shallow and crystal clear waters, making it a perfect beach for families with young children. And if you want to add interest to your experience, try snorkeling (徒手潜水)．
Nice, France
Lined with palm trees and first-class hotels, the city of Nice, located on the French Riviera, offers a whole coastline of Mediterranean beaches. Because they're in the heart of the city, these beaches attract a large crowd. So if you're looking for something more private, you'll have to travel a few miles outside of the city center.
Ribadeo, Spain
At low tide, Playa de las Catedrales in Ribadeo, Spain is the perfect beach to take in the natural wonders without urban amusements like restaurants, bars or huge crowds. It boasts beautiful wild flowers and unique rock formations making it truly a picture worthy.

A．It is surrounded by stone walls. B．It has the most attractive coastline. C．It has the longest beach season. D．It is the training center of Harry Potter.

I have lived in America's countryside for nine years, first in Michigan, where I was getting my university degree; then in central Illinois; and now in Indiana, where I am a university teacher. There were a few things I enjoyed complaining (抱怨) about in my living area. I'm a vegetarian (素食者), so there's nowhere to go out for a nice dinner without taking a 50-mile drive. I'm black, so there's nowhere to get my hair done without another 50-mile drive.
I repeated these complaints to my parents and my friends. Sometimes it seemed like complaints were the common language in my circle. We all were dissatisfied with something. Back in Illinois, my friends complained about the train to Chicago and how it's never on time; my friends in bigger cities complained about the expensive rent and strange smells on the subway.
Complaining allows us to accept the imperfect without having to take action. We all have great ideas about what life would be like if only we had this, or did that, or lived there. Perhaps

complaining helps bridge the large space between these perfect selves and reality.
There's also this: I really didn't want to change most of the things I complained about. Complaining was helpful on those days when happiness required too much energy. But it also made me lose sight of something. I was born and grew up in Nebraska and have lived most of my life in one of the plains states. When I went to the coasts, I was surprised by how unattractive big-city living can be.
Complaining may offer relief, but so does acceptance. There is no perfect place. There is no perfect life. There will always be something to complain about. By focusing on (关注) my complaints, I risked missing out on important moments of happiness. Now, I look up into the night sky and see all the stars. And I know that I have nothing to complain about.

If living in a big city makes you feel a bit down, there's good news: A brief walk in nature could be all it takes to drive away those negative thoughts. At least that's the finding of a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Several other studies have also suggested that there's just something about being in nature that can give our moods a boost (提升). But it hasn't been exactly clear what's going on in our brains when we're exposed to natural environments. One possibility is that nature decreases “rumination (反思)”， or patterns of negative thoughts that swirl in our heads and seem to take over.
To find out if nature helps us end that cycle of negative thoughts, Bratman and his colleagues randomly assigned 38 volunteers to take a 90-minute walk in either a natural or an urban area. Before and after the walk, the participants filled out a questionnaire about how much they were ruminating, and had their brains scanned using a form of fMRI that measures blood flow in the brain at rest. The nature walkers reported having fewer negative thoughts about themselves after the walk than before the walk, while the urban walkers reported no change. What's more, fMRI brain scans revealed less activity in the subgenual prefrontal cortex (SGPFC) of those who walked in nature. SGPFC is a brain region (区域) that may play a key role in some mood disorders and has been linked with patterns of negative thought. Those who went for the urban walk did not show any of these benefits, the study found.
At last, we may have a possible explanation for how being in nature may improve our mental well-being. In addition, the findings suggest that having green spaces and natural areas in cities may be important for maintaining our mental health.
语篇解读：研究发现，人们在自然环境中散步可以改善心情。 9．What does the new study mainly show? A．Taking a walk is really beneficial.

(2018·东北三省四市教研联合体模拟)
On April 14th, 2010, my entire life changed in an instant. One moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshine. The next moment, metal, flesh and bones were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crash. Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic.
As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry $1.7 billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economics all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland's many volcanoes.
However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the world's flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere, temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.
