?Recently Lonely?Planet makes up the ten Asian tourist attractions, Shanghai also in the list of magic area.

1. Hokkaido, Japan

Though known primarily to the outside world for its ski resorts and powdery snow, Hokkaido's year-round beauty might soon become a more familiar sight to foreign visitors. The new bullet-train service from Tokyo should help.

Hundreds of traditional Korean houses remain in central Jeonju's Hanok village.

Once the site of the infamous Con Dao prison, Vietnam's isolated archipelago of 16 islands known as the Con Dao Islands is starting to become known for its scenery and fresh seafood.

5. Hong Kong, China

A junk boat set against the famous skyline might be the iconic shot of Hong Kong, but Lonely Planet picked the territory for its natural heritage miles away from Victoria Harbor.

6. Ipoh, Malaysia

Around 200 kilometers north of Kuala Lumpur, the former British colonial city is now a foodie destination, where local street food and boutique cafes abound.

You have heard the expression “horse sense”. As you may imagine, it came from the time when the majority of people traveled in vehicles drawn by horses. A horse does have a lot of common sense, and there are many true stories about horses having saved their drivers from danger of death.

Today for the most part, people travel by train, ship, airplane, and car, but very little by the Use of horses. Modem vehicles are?propelled?by engines, and an engine does not have any sense. In case of danger, many horses could be depended on to help. Not so with the engine; the driver must do all the things.

In recent years, the speed of travel has increased greatly. With the increased speed comes greatly increased danger. The driver of a powerful engine needs to be careful. A moment of being careless may cost a life. In order to drive today, a person must be able to see clearly, and he must learn and follow carefully the rules for safety on the road. Greater attention is the price we pay for using a machine instead of a horse.

25. The passage mainly talks about ______.

A. engines??? ????????????? B. safe driving??? ????????

C. using horses???? ? D. modern machines

26. The underlined word “propel” in the second paragraph means ______.

A. repair???? ?????????????? B. raise????????? ????? C. push forward??? ?? D. made

27. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. a driver must know the rules of safety

B. a driver needs to be able only to tell red from green

C. an eye test is an important part of a driver’s examination

D. greater attention is needed for a driver while driving a machine

28. Which of the following is NOT true?

Sleeping in is one of the best parts of the weekend. After a long, exhausting work week, sometimes all you want to do is sleep. On Friday night, you slide under the covers, smiling in anticipation. Now you can finally catch up on your sleep.

Except you can’t. When you open your eyes Saturday morning, it’s still early. If this were a weekday, you’d be up before your alarm. So what’s the deal?

We hate to break it to you, but you’ve pretty much done this to yourself. Your body is very good at recognizing patterns and adjusting accordingly. If you’ve got a 9-to-5 job, you’re getting up early five days a week. This effectively sets your body clock to wake you at a certain time each day. You can shut off your alarm clock, but your body clock will just keep ticking.

There’s another reason that you probably don’t want to think about: You’re just not as young as you used to be. We need less sleep as we get older. Babies need between 16 and 20 hours. Teenagers should (but often don’t) get nine hours a night. Younger and middle-aged adults need eight. In general, the older you get, the harder it is to snooze the day away.

Even if you do manage to sleep in, you may never fully catch up on your sleep. If your body needs eight hours every night and you only get six or seven from Monday to Friday, you’d have to sleep an extra five to ten hours on Saturday to make it up. And experts say even that may not be enough.

The bottom line: Sleep when you can, and enjoy those extra weekend morning hours. Who doesn’t want a longer weekend?

29. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 1?

A. You know that you will oversleep on Saturday morning.

B. You needn’t get up early on Saturday morning, so you will have a better sleep.

C. Since you don’t work on Saturday, you needn’t go to sleep as usual.

D. You know that even though you needn’t get up early on Saturday morning, you will wake as usual.

30. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A. If you have a 9-to-5 job, you are likely to develop a flexible body clock.

B. Once you have set your body clock, it is not easy to change it.

C. The author will not break the pattern, but you will do it yourself.

D. If you adjust your body clock accordingly, you are healthy.

31. Which of the following is the reason why you can’t sleep in on weekends?

A. You are not willing to admit that you are old.

B. You need to relax on the weekend.

C. Your body clock still works on weekends.

D. You can never get enough sleep.

32. Which is the best title of the passage?

A. Why can't I sleep in on weekends anymore?

B. Why can’t I catch up on my sleep?

C. How to turn off my body clock on Saturdays?

D. How to get more sleep on Saturday mornings?
