7．Best Places to Visit in Iceland
Welcome to Iceland，a land that comes across as being a unique and beautiful destination．It is open to visitors who like to study an unknown course，and everything about Iceland waits to be explored．Here are just a lot of places you can take on…
Dettifoss
Dettifoss waterfalls，located 90km from the town Húsavík，is the most powerful waterfall in Europe．You can access the waterfall either by hiking or driving down along the road leading to the falls．The access roads，however，remain closed during the winter months．That is from January to April．
Landmannalaugar
Landmannalaugar or the people's pools，is a major tourist attraction in Iceland．Known as the heart for hikers，the area is popular for hot springs．Open only during summers，it is accessible from Thorsmork Biking in this area．However，it is relatively difficult，and is recommended only for trained mountain bikers．
Reykjavik
Reykjavik，which actually means"Steamy Bay"，got its name from the sight of steam rising from the geothermal hot springs，which attracted the Vikings when they landed at the bay．You can relax by hiking，or go fishing in the Elliea River．Don't forget to go skinny-dipping in the famous Blue Lagoon，a geothermal（地?zé)岬模?nbsp;pool in the area．
Gotafoss
Gotafoss，also known as the waterfall of the gods，is one of the most impressive attractions in Iceland．Located on the Skjalfandafljot river flowing south of road 1or the Ring road，it is easily accessible，thus attracting tourists and divers alike．As the story goes，it was these falls that the Lawspeaker Thorgeir Ljosvetningagoti threw the statues of his Norse gods into，hence giving it the name Gotafoss．
J?kulsárlón
Known to be a museum of ice sculptures，J?kulsárlón is a large glacier lake on the South Eastern border．The lake which is around 200meters deep is home to some of the big icebergs．During the summer months，you can use boat rides that will take you face to face with the ice sculptures that melt away splendidly．In the winters，you will spot a number of seals and the great Skua at the lake．

17．Everybody loves to play board games sometimes，but it is surprising to know how long this pastime has been in existence．Some of the earliest board games are over 5，000 years old．The oldest is probably Senet，an American Egyptian game which has been found in burials from before 3000 BC．The game involves an element of luck，and so it was thought by the Ancient Egyptians that those who won the game were protected by God．For this reason，games of Senet were often buried alongside the dead body，to be used on the dangerous game board is set out as a grid of three by ten rows，and uses two sets of at least five pawns．The actual rules are unknown，although some historians have proposed rules which were used in the Senet sets available today．
The Royal Game of Ur，also known as the Game of Twenty Squares，is another ancient game which dates back to the First Dynasty of Ur，in 2600 BC Mesopotamia．It was played with two sets of seven counters，one black and one white，and three four-sided dice （骰子）．Although the ancient rules are unknown，a stone tablet has been found which describes a reliable record of how the game was played in 177-176 BC．
Both Senet and The Royal Game of Ur probably came into existence long before the game backgammon （西洋雙陸棋），which itself has a long history．The game of Nard，which existed in Iran in around 3000 BC，used two sets of fifteen counters，four dice and same board as the one used in backgammon today，although the initial starting positions and rules are different．Similar games were played in Ancient Rome and India．

15．閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞的英語短文．
The elephant and the fly
A disciple（信徒），who was disturbed by the fact that his mind was in constant unrest，asked his teacher，"Why are most people's minds restless？What can one do to still the mind？"The teacher looked at the disciple，smiled and told him a story：
 An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree．A small fly came，flying and buzzing（嗡嗡叫） near his ear．The elephant waved it away with his long ears．Then the fly came again，and the elephant waved it away once more．
This was repeated several times．Then the elephant asked the fly，"Why are you so restless and noisy？Why can't you stay for a while in one place？"
The fly answered，"I am attracted to whatever I see，hear or smell．My five senses pull me constantly in all directions and I cannot resist them．What is your secret？How can you stay so calm and still？"
The elephant stopped eating and said，"My five senses do not rule my attention．Whatever I do，I get immersed in it．Now that I am eating，I am completely absorbed in eating．In this way I can enjoy my food and chew it better．I rule and control my attention，and not the other way around．"
Upon hearing these words，a smile appeared on the disciple's face，"I understand!If my five senses are in control of my mind and attention，then my mind is in constant unrest．If I am in charge of my five senses and attention，then my mind becomes calm．"

5．Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours（繞行路）in life that by the narrow road toward goals．I like this image．But I as quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words．
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents'home in Boise in nine hours．We traveled the way most people do：the fastest，shortest easiest road，especially when ai was alone with four noisy，restless kids who hates confinement（限制）and have strong opinions about everything．
Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast，stopping only when I had to．We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired．
But then Banner，our lamb was born．He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise．I had two choices：leave Banner with my husband，or take him with me．My husband made the decision for me．
That is how I found myself on the road with four kids，a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through．We took the country roads out of necessity．We had to stop every hour，let Banner shke out his legs and feed him．The kids chased him and one another．They'd get back in the car breathless and energized，smelling fresh from the cold air．
We explored side roads，catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass．Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother，or fish leaping out of the water，it was better than the best ride down the freeway．Here was life．And new horizons（見識(shí)）．
We eventually arrived at my parents'doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories．
I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique．On an empty section of road，everyone started quarreling．I stopped the car，ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead．I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence．
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight．But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to any on adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey--and the best part of yourself．
46．Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents'home？B
A．It was less time        B．It would be faster and safer
C．Her kids would feel less confined     D．She felt better with other drivers nearby
47．The author stopped regularly on the country roads toC
A．relax in the fresh air        B．take a dep breath
C．take care of the lamb         D．let the kids play with Banner
48．What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6？B
A．Freeways are where beauty hides．
B．Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life
C．Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health
D．One should follow side roads to watch wild animals
49．Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home？
D
A．To give herself some time to read       B．To order some food for them
C．To play a game with them．D．To let them cool down
50．What could be the best title for the passage？A
A．Charm of the Detour        B．The Road to Bravery
C．Creativity out of Necessity         D．Road trip and Country Life．
