One of the hardest parts of planning a trip to Hawaii is deciding which of the major Hawaiian Islands you should visit. Each has its own personality and offers unique adventures and activities.
Oahu
Oahu has a bit of everything, packed in 597 square miles. You can hike into thick rainforests, and when you need a break, relax on powdery white sand beaches and stay at luxury resorts.
Oabu has become a great destination for families. The urban core(核心) of Honolulu and Waikiki has historic sites, museums and bustling(熙熙攘攘的) and nightlife scenes. The island lives up to its nickname of the Gathering Place.
Maui
Maui is a great island for honeymooners. The Valley Isle has top-class resorts and golf courses, adjacent(毗邻) to some of the state's best beaches. Seeing a large dormant(休眠)volcano in east Maui at sunrise or sunset is a serene experience, as well as driving the Road to Hana, famed for its thundering waterfalls.
Kauai
Kauai is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. The island gets a lot of rain, but that's what makes it so lively, and you'll come across flowers and plants you've never seen before. For some of the best views on the island, visit Waimea Canyon, known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, and the Na Pali coast, boasting some of the world's highest sea cliffs.
Big Island
The Big Island is the only Hawaiian island still growing. Witness the power of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire, wind, lightning and volcanoes with a visit to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It's one of the few spots in the world where you can see lava flow. In fact, the Big Island has 10 of the world's sub-climate zones, from the snow-covered mountain of Mauna Kea, green forests of Waipio Valley to stretches of barren desert. 21. Which is young couples' favorite'?
A. Oahu. B. Maui. C. Kauai. D. Big Island. 22. How is Oahu different from the other places?

Award-winning film Ballad From Tibet by Chinese director Zhang Wei is scheduled to premiere in New York City on Saturday, August 10.
The film, which tells the story of four visually impaired kids from China's Tibet autonomous region embarking on a journey for their dreams, will be presented at the Bronx Library Center on Saturday, at Mid-Manhattan Library on Sunday, at Lehman College and Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan on Tuesday, and at the Museum of Modern Art on Wednesday.
Based on a true story, Ballad from Tibet is about the four Tibetan kids-Thupten, Sonam, Kelsang and Droma-achieving their dreams against all odds.
Thupten is a 10-year-old boy partially sighted in one eye and blind in the other. His doctor says that there is a chance he could completely lose his sight, but there is an operation that could offer a 50 percent chance of saving his vision.
His teacher finely suggests that he should have the operation right away, but Thupten is afraid and wants to see the world before his life is plunged into total darkness.
Along with his three friends who also suffer from blindness, Thupten embarks on an exciting adventure. Together they decide to go to Shenzhen in South China's Guangdong province, a city more than 3,7000 km away from Tibetan regional capital Lhasa.
The reason for the children's decision to go to Shenzhen is their love of music. They are all talented and want to sing their hearts out in front of national audience by participating in a Shenzhen-based reality show.
The foursome's trip is indeed fun, but also turns out to be dangerous as well. Luckily, help is on hand along the way in the form of a wandering family, a shepherd, a motorcycle club, and a TV producer's assistant.
Ballad From Tibet has won the award for Best Children's Feature at the 13th China International Children's Film Festival in November2017, and earned nominations at 17 different
international children's film festivals in Germany, Canada, Japan, Greece, Australia and India. 24. What does the underlined word \A. short-sighted B. strengthened C. damaged D. amazing
25. Why do the four children in Ballad From Tibet choose Shenzhen as their destination? A. They want to look for their parents there.
B. They long to earn money there to support themselves. C. They want to take part in a Shenzhen-based reality show. D. Their teacher advises them to go there to pursue their dream. 26. What can we infer about Ballad From Tibet in the text? A. The teacher and the doctor are in favor of Thupten's decision. B. The film is going to be shown in New York City for the first time. C. Not all the four children in the film have trouble in seeing things. D. The children get to their destination very smoothly. 27. What does the author think of Ballad From Tiber?
A. Successful. B. Negative. C. Awful. D. Surprising.

It Was in the Victorian Era (维多利业时期)that the novel became the leading form of literature in English. Most writers were more concerned to meet the tastes of the middle class. The best known works of the period included the works of Charles Dickens and the Bronte sisters and others.
Charles Dickens came on the literary scene in the 1830s. Dickens wrote vividly about London life and the struggles of the poor. Most of his works were written in a very humorous style, which was popular with readers of all classes.
The Bronte sisters were English writers of the 1840s and 1850s. They began to write from early childhood. In 1846 they published the first book at their own expense as poets; however, their book attracted little attention, selling only two copies. Then the sisters turned to writing novels, each producing a novel in the following year.
An interest in rural(田园的)matters and the changing social and economic situation of the countryside may be seen in the novels of Thomas f tardy and a number of others.
Literature for children developed as a single style. Some works became well-known, such as
