A long weekend is a great opportunity to do something a little different. Many people use a long weekend for a getaway, a short trip to leave the stress of their everyday lives behind and explore, learn, or relax.

Hotel Romance

    Many hotels and resorts feature something special to start the getaway, such as champagne, flowers, or a fruit basket in the room on arrival. Getaway packages usually include a room with something special, a heart shaped bed, for example. Additional benefits could be room service meals or other private dining, plus tickets or discounts for local attractions.

Visit a Spa

    Spa getaways can take place at a location that focuses only on spa services or at a hotel that offers a spa as one of its features. Some spas emphasize treatments fit for their geographic area or a local attraction. A spa in a grape growing region might provide grape juice masks, or a hotel near a hot spring could offer mineral baths. Most spas offer a range of massage, health and beauty treatments, so a spa getaway can be relaxing with other benefits.

Learn a Skill

    A long weekend may not be enough time to become an expert at something new, but it provides a way for people to begin their explorations. Some organizations offer intensive courses that last two or three days. People with special interests can get away from their routines while learning such things as how to make beer, speak a new language, or take better photos.

Help Others

    Some organizations cooperate with businesses to have accommodations (???) and activities for short-term volunteers. Most volunteer vacations involve ecology friendly or charity activities. A volunteer getaway is a way to relieve stress and help others at the same time.

Stay in a National Park

    For those who want to relax in a rural environment, a national park fits the bill. Most national parks provide camping areas for tents and trailers. Several have cabins (С??) within the parks available to rent. A getaway to a national park provides privacy, stress relief, and the time to get to know some important natural resources.

1.The underlined word getaway in this passage most probably means       .

    A. exploration        B. location        C. vacation        D. activity

2. It can be learned from the text that        .

    A. spas are offered in the tourist attractions all over the country

    B. intensive courses of some organizations help people get away from home

    C. helping others at weekend makes people feel free and relaxed

　　Living in the wild can be hard．Finding food and staying safe aren't easy．Each day, animals struggle to survive in their habitats．Not all animals get by on their own．Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals．These pairings are called symbiotic(共生的)relationships．

　　In a symbiotic relationship, the animals depend on each other．One animal helps the other meet its needs．Sounds good, right?Not always．Some animals are not very kind to their partners．In some cases, one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner．Take ticks, for example．These insects suck blood to live．To get blood, they attach themselves to other kinds of animals．Ticks can pass germs that cause disease instead of helping their hosts．

　　In other relationships, animals don't treat their partners so poorly．Both animals benefit from living with the other animal．

　　Small animals called cleaner shrimps have found a way of helping fish at coral reefs．As their name suggests, the shrimps clean the fish．They hang out at what scientists call a cleaning station．A fish stops by．Then a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps into the fish's mouth．The shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fish's body．That can include dead skin, tiny pieces of food, and wee creatures that can hurt the fish．The fish gets a nice cleaning．The shrimp enjoys a tasty meal of fish trash．

　　Small birds called plovers are also in the cleaning business．They have big customers－crocodiles．Crocs have long snouts(鼻子)filled with sharp teeth．Cleaning them is tricky．When a croc opens its mouth, the plover hops right in．The croc does not snap its snout shut．Instead, it lets the plover eat small, harmful animals attached to the crocodile's teeth．The plover gets an easy meal while the croc gets clean teeth．

閱讀理解

　　When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like：“If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right．” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”

　　Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life．Because almost everything－all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure－these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important．Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose．

　　About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer．It clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas．The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months．

　　I lived with that diagnosis all day．Later the doctor got a few cells from the tumor．I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery．I had the surgery and I'm fine now．

　　No one wants to die．Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there．And yet death is the destination we all share, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life．It clears out the old to make way for the new．Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away．Your is living with the results of other people’s thinking．Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice．And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition．They somehow already know what you truly want to become．Everything else is secondary．

　　When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation．On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kin d you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you wee so adventurous．Beneath it were the words：“Stay Hungry．Stay Foolish．” I have always wished that for myself．And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you．Stay Hungry．Stay Foolish．

(1)

[　　]

A．

Reading a quote in the morning

B．

Reminding himself that he’ll be dead soon

C．

The author was diagnosed with cancer

D．

The Whole Earth Catalog

(2)

Why did the doctor start crying when they viewed the cells under a microscope?

[　　]

A．

Because the author is somebody．

B．

Because the author’s illness is incurable．

C．

Because the cancer can be cured with surgery．

D．

Because it turned out to be a very rare from of pancreatic cancer．

(3)

What’s the author’s attitude towards the death?

[　　]

A．

optimistic

B．

pessimistic

C．

indifferent

D．

overjoyed

(4)

By saying “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish．”, what does the author really mean?

[　　]

A．

Stay foolish and hungry or you will be cheated．

B．

Stay foolish and hungry and you will be a wise man．

C．

Have the courage to follow your hear and intuition

D．

Never be satisfied and always hungry for success and achievements．
