As for long-distance holidays, there are some unique destinations that actually offer you great value for your money, even if you’re on a budget.
Tokyo, Japan
Food lovers should head to this busy city which has the lowest cost for dining out — you could even bag a three-course evening meal for two, with a bottle of house wine, for just under £ 34. For sightseeing there are plenty of free museums and attractions, while tour bus ticket prices start from as little as £ 11.56.
Bangkok, Thailand
Thailand's capital is second to none as the best value long-distance city. Although there isn’t a huge difference across all prices compared to the other cities, it is accommodation that really makes it stand out. I you’re only stopping for a long weekend, then make sure to check out the awe-inspiring The Grand Palace, a complex of breathtaking temples.
Beijing, China
The Chinese capital took third spot with a total basket price of £ 337.49. If you only do one cultural day out during your stay, make it a trip to The Forbidden City. There are some seriously beautiful and delicate buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, not to mention they're home to priceless artificial objects from China's historical milestones.
Dubai, UAE
Although Dubai does have a reputation for being quite the splurge (挥霍金钱) when it comes to holidays and if you’re going to addict yourself to a spot of shopping or hit the roller-coasters, it actually provides quite good value for what you pay. The city also offers some cheaper prices across its museums, galleries and attractions as well as airport transfers.

This past Columbus Day, my husband and I went fishing with some friends on their boat while our 10 and 8-year-olds were in school. We left the house all at the same time, about 7 am. My children walked to and from school every day and we knew they were OK for a couple hours by themselves anyway so we told them to go inside after school and we would be home around 4 pm.
The adults decided to go fishing offshore: we live on the Gulf Coast, since it was a beautiful day in the normally still very humid Texas fall. At around 2 pm we started back to shore and wouldn't you know, we ran out of gas. We were out of cell phone service, even 911 wasn't working, and we didn't have a radio so we were stuck waiting for someone to come by. We were out there until 10 pm. All-the-while, my children were at home, expecting us to return shortly after they got home. At about 7 pm, when it was getting dark, my 10-year-old thought something might he wrong so she walked to each house on the street until someone answered the door and asked them what they should do. This was how we were found by the game warden and “rescued”.
Talking with that neighbor the next day, I never took such pride in my children. This neighbor explained to me how calm both my children were when explaining the situation and how impressed they were with my children seeking help, even though they didn't know these particular neighbors. I never doubled them for a minute, though next time we go fishing, we'll monitor the gas more carefully.
【1】How did the children go to school?
A.Bu bus. B.By car.
C.By boat. D.On foot.
【2】What happened to the author and her husband?
A.They used up their gas. B.They lost their cell phones.
C.They found a radio on shore. D.They fell into the water.
【3】What did the author think of her children's behavior?
A.Worried. B.Proud.
C.Doubtful. D.Confident
【4】What can we infer from the text?
A.It is wonderful to raise free-range kids.
B.One should keep calm in face of danger.
C.A good neighbour is better than a brother far off.
D.Parents should pay more attention to their children.

Over the past six decades, the now 85-year-old English researcher has revolutionized the entire field of primatology (灵长类动物学). Goodall was among the first to study her subjects in the wild. She treated chimps as conscious, complex individuals with distinet personalities and surprising behaviors. Goodall argued that chimpanzees were worthy of names, like their human cousins. Her work opened the world's eyes to our closest great chimp relatives. Now, six decades after she began her first round of fieldwork in Tanzania in 1960, that lens (镜头) has finally been turned backward.
An ongoing multimedia exhibition at the National Geographic Museum in Washington D. C. charts the life and career of the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees. It's titled “Becoming Jane: The Evolution of Dr. Jane Goodall.” The show takes visitors on a journey from her earliest scientific explorations to her current adventures. Goodall's story is told through a collection of field notes and other personal effects. Her first recorded encounter with a chimpanzee happened at age one. Her father gifted her with a stuffed toy chimp named Jubilee. Goodall kept it close throughout her adult life.
Some of her earliest favorite books included “Tarzan of the Apes” and “The Story of Doctor Dolittle.” When she was a bit older, Goodall spent her free time drawing aimlessly about wild animals. She also physically labeled careful drawings of wild animals with her friends. Goodall was born with this incredible curiosity, incredible bravery and desire to explore the world that was so obvious, even at such an early age. It seemed predestined (注定的) for her to do what she did.
The show hits more somber notes, too. Chimpanzee populations worldwide continue to decrease under the combined threats of illegal hunting, habitat destruction and disease. Researchers and conservationists-Goodall among them-are fighting to rescue them from decreasing. At 85 years old, she still travels 300 days a year doing her advocacy and education work.
【1】Which of the following can be used to describe Jane Goodall?
A.Modest. B.Devoted.
C.Humorous. D.Talented.
【2】What influenced Jane Goodall to study Chimpanzees?
A.Chimp's strange behavior. B.A journey to Tanzania.
C.An expert's field notes. D.Her father's present.
【3】What's Paragraph 3 mainly talking about?
A.Books Goodall was interested in. B.Goodall's early passion for nature.
C.Goodall's drawings of wild animals. D.Habits Goodall formed when young.
【4】What is the purpose of the exhibit?
A.To honour Jane Goodall. B.To rescue chimpanzee.
C.To advertise the Museum. D.To promote awareness.

When an empty parking spot appears before us, many of us would see it for what it is - a place that could be filled with cars and trucks. But to eco-engineer Shubhendu Sharma, it's a space to be planted with trees and turned into a forest.
What's more, he believes these tiny forests can grow anywhere, including our most crowded and polluted cities where they can help maintain clean air and water and provide habitat for animals and insects. “A forest is not an isolated piece of land where animals live together,” says Sharma. “A forest can be a complete part of our urban existence.” Most of us know just how important trees are to our health and to the planet. Yet millions of hectares of forest are cleared every year due to farming, ranching, logging and construction. The World Wildlife Foundation estimates that 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest and surrounding ecosystems have already been lost.
Inspired by the work of Japanese scientist Akira Miyawaki, Sharma built a forest in the backyard of his family's home in northern India in 2010. He planted 100 young trees in the 75-square-meter plot. They grew and a dozen species of birds cane to check them out. The plantings created welcome shade, and their roots were able to absorb even the abundant monsoon (季风) rains. After a year, he had his own forest. Since then, Sharma has founded a company called Afforestt. It's top priority is to bring back natural forests to places where they no longer exist. So far, Afforestt has planted 144 forests in 45 cities around the world. Sharma has shown you can lake a space the size of six or seven parking spots-and create a forest with 100 trees. Ready to create your own tiny forest?If your answer is yes, let's follow Sharma's 5-step procedures to grow our own forests.
【1】Ordinary people may regard a parking spot as a place for ______.
A.parking vehicles. B.planting trees.
C.building houses. D.producing cars and trucks.
【2】What does the underlined word “they” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A.Cities. B.Forests.
C.Air and water. D.Animals and insects
【3】How many trees has Afforestt planted?
A.45 B.144 C.224 D.14,400
【4】What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?
A.How to create a forest. B.Why we should plant trees.
C.What kind of forest we need. D.Who will follow the steps.

After many days of stressful exams, it’s time to have fun.

Yesterday afternoon I was chatting on the phone while something made me look up. On the other sides of the street, I saw my very elderly neighbor kneeling in the grass. I hang up the phone and ran out of the house. He was taking walk, and he tripped (绊倒) on the pavement. My neighbor was very large a man that I couldn't lift her on my own, so I ran back to call my husband! Together we got him standing, and he was unable to walk. Luckily, a woman, which bicycled by, came to help. She got on a lawn chair from my front yard and we got my neighbor seating. After a few minutes' rest, we sent him home.
