Beaches are not only great for lying on and doing water sports, and in fact one of the best ways of enjoying them is a classic beach walk. Here at iWantSun. Co. Uk, we’ve been searching the globe to find you the world’s best and most glorious beach walks, and here’s our pick of the top.

The Footpath of the Gods, Amalfi Coast , Italy

The name says it all really and you truly do feel up there to walking along this wonderful mountain coastal path, which offers some of the most striking views on the planet. The path begins at town of Bomerano to charming Positano along the UNESCO World Heritage area of the Amalfi Coast. The whole walk will take you approximately four and a half hours to complete and pass over narrow rocky paths, past sheer cliffs and shining blue bays.

Sydney’s Great Coastal Walk, Australia

Sydney’s coastline is one of the most beautiful and diverse in the world. Here you have national parks, historic sites, steep cliffs, sparkling beaches and quiet bays all in one place. Sydney’s Great Walk runs all the way from Barrenjoey in the north to Royal National Park in the south and takes an incredible seven days to complete. However, if you’re not up to doing the full walk, then there are many different parts of the walk that you can do right in the city. Walking from the city’s famous Bondi Beach to the sweeping curve of Bronte Beach takes just an hour, which takes in some top scenery.

Great Ocean Walk, Australia

The Great Ocean Walk stretches 104 km along Victoria’s famous Great Ocean Road, located on the southern coast of Australia, from the resort town Apollo Bay to the magnificent Twelve Apostles. The Twelve Apostles are the area’s famous stone landmarks which stand out like giants from the sea. The walk passes through a range of landscapes and sights, from national parks, famous surfing spots and deserted beaches, to wild coastlines, cascading waterfalls, lush forests, historic lighthouses and ghostly shipwrecks. Day walks and shorter three-hour walks such as the Wreck Beach Walk or the Lighthouse Cemetery and Lookout Walk can also be enjoyed.

So next time when you’re looking for a beach holiday don’t just think about the resorts and the sand, but consider a more active sun holiday, discovering some of the best beaches in the world.

   B. It provides visitors a variety of great landscapes.

   C. It really has the longest coastline in the world.

   Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria（疟疾）. This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China. 

    Tu shared the prize with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary anti-roundworm treatment. 84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients’ suffering and promoting mankind’s health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu’s dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin（青蒿素）, the key drug that battles malaria-friendly parasites（寄生虫）.

    However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “three-noes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China’s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.

    The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.

    As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu’s record-breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get.

25. It can be concluded from the text that __________.

  A. Tu got the Nobel Prize for her anti-roundworm treatment

 B. The Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her work

  C. Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her research

   D. Her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut Malaria death rate

26. The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientist is the one   

   with__________.

  A. a sense of national pride              B. relevant academic knowledge

   C. a desire to achieve success               D. enthusiasm for scientific research

27. In writing the passage, the author intends to ___________.

  A. discourage the pursuit of instant success in science

 B. inform readers of the news and make comments

 C. remind readers of the principles of scientific research

 D. praise the award winner and encourage scientific research

    In the American colonies there was little money．England did not supply the colonies with coins and it did not allow the colonies to make their own coins．Only the Massachusetts Bay Colony received permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins．England wanted to keep money out of America as a means of controlling trade：America was forced to trade only with England if it did not have the money to buy products from other countries． The result during the pre-revolutionary period was that the colonists used various goods in place of money：beaver furs，Indian wampum，and tobacco leaves were all commonly used as substitutes(代替物)for money．The colonists also made use of any foreign coins they could obtain．Dutch，Spanish，French，and English coins were all in use in the American colonies．

    Individual states and the Continental Congress issued paper money．S0 much of this paper money was printed that by the end of the Revolutionary War it was virtually worthless．As a result，trade in goods and the use of foreign coins were still common during this period．

  If you are hungry, what will you do? Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? Just like stomach, even your mind will be hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, favorite star and many such absurd things. So it silently begins to hide your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity gets its full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, “Why can’t I think?”, “Why am I always given the difficult problems?” Well, this is the result of using our own karma(宿命)of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.

Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through extensive reading. But why is it reading but not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educational tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading for help. You have a number of books in the world which will answer all your “how-to” questions. Once you read a book, you just don’t run your eyes through the lines, but your mind decodes  it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed, if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, which you would never thought of in your wildest dreams! This is nothing but creativity. The more books you read, the wider your mind will become. Also this improves your speech-making skills to a large extent and also makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary. When you start speaking English or any other language fluently with your friends or other people, you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.

Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently, but as I read, I could improve significantly. So guys, do join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. Now what are you waiting for? Go, grab a book and let me know!

32. What does the author mean by saying that our mind is hungry?

   A. Our creativity gets a full stop．             B. We don’t read books．

   C. We don’t know what to do next．           D. We don’t have a good memory．

33. One’s mind is hungry because it____

   A. can’t work out things well                 B. is mentally busy with many absurd things

   C. 1oosens its freedom to forget               D. begins to pay careful attention to his needs

34. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of reading?

   A. Helping you enlarge your vocabulary．       B. Helping you develop your creativity．

   C. Helping you run your eyes through the lines． D.Helping you improve your speaking skills．

35. By reading more，we are sure to_______

   A. speak English fluently                    B. store books in our mind

   C. dream the wildest dreams                 D. perform better mentally in the future

   Have you ever studied a subject or brainstormed an idea, only to find yourself with pages of information, but no clear view of  how it fits together? This is where Mind Mapping can help you.

   Mind Mapping is a useful technique that helps you learn more effectively, improves the way that you record information, and supports and enhances creative problem solving. By using Mind Maps, you can quickly identify and understand the structure of a subject. You can see the way that pieces of information fit together, as well as recording the raw facts contained in normal notes.    36   , as  they  help your mind recall and review.

   Popularized by Tony Buzan, Mind Maps abandon the list format of conventional note taking．They do this in favor of a two-dimensional structure. A good Mind Map shows the 'shape' of the subject, the relative importance of individual points, and the way in which facts relate to one another. 37   .

1. Write the title of the subject you're exploring in the center of the page, and draw a circle around it.

2. As you come across major subdivisions or subheadings of the topic (or important facts that relate to the subject) draw lines out from this circle. Label these lines with these subdivisions or subheadings.

3. As you "burrow" into (挖掘) the subject and uncover another level of information (further subheadings, or individual facts) belonging to the subheadings, draw these as lines linked to the subheading lines.

4.    38   .

5. As you come across new information, link it in to the Mind Map appropriately.

   39    . Sub-topics and facts will branch off these, like branches  and twigs from the trunk of a tree. You don't need to worry about the structure you produce, as this will evolve of its own accord.

     40  . If you do any form of research or note taking, try experimenting with Mind Maps. You will find them surprisingly effective!

A. More than this, Mind Maps help you remember information

B. Mind Mapping is an extremely effective method of taking notes.

C. They help you to associate ideas and make connections that you might not otherwise make.

D. Then, for individual facts or ideas, draw lines out from the appropriate heading line and label them.

E. A complete Mind Map may have main topic lines radiating in all directions from the center.

F. To draw a Mind Map, follow these steps:

G. When created using colors and images or drawings, a Mind Map can even resemble a work of art!

I am a student from a high school. Today I am writing to you because I am surprising at the bad

driving habit of some people in our city. I have seen taxi drivers to drive very fast and not stop when

children are crossing the roads. Also, cars being driven while the lights are still red, that is very dangerous. Some people are impatiently. When they see a line of cars that is not moving, we try to drive past other cars. What’s more, drunk driving still happen in our city. I think that all drivers in our city should take part in a “Safe Driving Course” each five years. If they do not pass the course, they should not be allowed to drive. I hope that people of our city would take the time to improve their driving behavior.
