The island of Lanai is one of Hawaii’s best kept secrets. With its old country beauty, rocky land, empty beaches and forests, the island of Lanai is like an attractive Colorado village in the middle of the Pacific. What to see
In fact, you’ll need a 4-wheel sightseeing bus to get to most of the island’s attractions. Lanai offers 400 miles of rocky dirt roads that lead you through rainforests (热带雨林), up to Mount Lanaihale — the island’s highest point, through a tour of ancient rock paintings, and to the island’s famous Garden of the Gods.
If you want to experience the local island color, head to Lanai City, the island’s only town and home to nearly all of its 3,000 people. The attractive little town offers pop shops, local art and small cafes. Accommodation (住宿）choices
Lanai only has three hotel choices: one beautiful historical village and two Four Seasons resorts (度假胜地). Stay one night in Hotel Lanai，the smallest and cheapest of the choices, and you’ll feel like you stepped back to old Hawaii.
The two Four Seasons resorts offer different characters of the island. The Lanai at Manele Bay is the island, s beachside resort that faces a near-sea preserve (保留区).The second Four Seasons resort, The Lodge at Koele, covers over 80 km2 of rolling hills, gardens and trees. You’ll need a blanket to stay warm at night. It feels like a very different Hawaii. How to get there
With all its beauty, getting to Lanai is no easy task. If you are planning a trip there, you’ll have to fly into the island of Maui and catch a boat that leaves from Lahaina five times a day, or you can catch one of Hawaiian Airline’s daily flights. 1.

Standing in a bombed (被轰炸过的）home, little Maureen Jenkins watches celebrations held to mark the end of World War II. This is a black and white picture taken on Victory in Europe Day (VE Day), May 8, 1945.
Maureen Jenkins, now 70 years old, looks back with pride on the small part she played on VE Day. She was two as she stood in Henley Street, Battersea. “l was too young to remember VE Day,” says Maureen. “But it is such a heartbreaking picture to me because it shows me the struggle our family went through during the war. It wasn’t easy for my mum, having five children and being bombed. We were so short of money, and it was frightening.”
Like most parts of London, Battersea suffered terribly from bombing. For Maureen and dozens of the other children living on her street, deserted (废弃的）homes became a playground. “There was a lot of danger, but that’s how it was in those days,” said the grandma who now lives in Norfolk. UA few houses on our street had got bombed. I was sure people died but my mum didn’t speak about that very much in front of me. In those days I was often told to go outside and play,” added Maureen.
“My philosophy is that you have to live through something to know something,” she said. “I’m proud to be in the photo. People today haven’t been there in a war. And young people should be shown just what it could be like.”
For those who are left, memories of VE Day remain clear. Winston Churchill announced the war’s end at 3:00 pm and crowds gathered at Buckingham Palace across the country. People poured onto the streets to sing war songs, wave flags and dance until dawn. 5. Who now lives in Norfolk? A. Winston Churchill. B. Maureen’s. friend. C. Maureen’s grandma. D. Maureen Jenkins.

8. What does the last paragraph show? A. How people celebrated VE Day.
B. What we should learn from World War II. C. Where the celebrations of VE Day were held.
D. 'What VE Day means to people who suffered World War II.

When David Hyche was helping his local church plan an annual Easter egg hunt nine years ago, he realized his then 19-month-old blind daughter Rachel would not be able to folly take part in it. He decided to look for a way for his daughter to experience an Easter egg hunt just like her normal-sighted older brother.
David then researched online on how a blind child could do an Easter egg hunt and have fun with it. He found there were people who could make beeping (有哔哔声的）eggs. He then called a man in Los Angeles and the man told him how he did it. David then thought he could spread beeping eggs around the world.
He made forty beeping eggs that year and sold them at a price of $14 per egg. Each egg took him about 20 minutes to make. It contains a switch (开关)，a beeper，and a 9-volt battery, joined together by wires (导线).
A handful of blind kids, Rachel included, showed up at the first beeping Easter egg hunt hosted by David in Birmingham nine years ago. Hoping to spread it further, David employed his coworkers and friends throughout Alabama to help him make more beeping eggs. This year, three beeping Easter egg hunts were held in Birmingham alone, with dozens more held across the country.
Around six years ago, David’s idea drew an ally (同盟军）in the International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators (IABTI). IABTF s members collect the eggs and then send them to the requesting groups. Each egg now costs $11.50 to make, according to the IABTI, which posts a step-by-step explainer on its website.
“A lot of schools for the blind use the eggs to teach kids how to locate (定位）things because it teaches them to use a logical mind to search,” said David. “It’s teaching these kids independence,” he said. “It’s not just an Easter egg hunt like it is for other people.” 9. Why did David want to make the beeping Easter egg at first? A. To plan a special Easter egg hunt.
B. To make his daughter enjoy an Easter egg hunt. C. To draw people’s attention to an Easter hunt. D. To provide beeping Easter for blind children. 10. What can we infer from the passage? A. Rachel is 9 years old now.
B. It is not too hard for David to make a beeping egg. C. David learned how to make a beeping egg by chance. D. Few children were interested in the beeping egg at first. 11. David asked his coworkers and friends to help ________. A. raise money B. send finished eggs
C. make beeping eggs D. post an explainer online
12. Why do many schools for the blind use beeping eggs? A. Because they help blind kids to be independent. B. Because an egg hunt is a lot fun like it is for others. C. Because they are easy to locate for the blind. D. Because a logical mode is used in making them.

There are still no signs of little green men, but NASA said on Monday that there is proof of recent
flowing liquid (液态的）water on Mars. This finding is very important because it increases the chances that there is life on the Red Planet.
A new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the Earths next-door neighbor had many dribbles (滴) of salt water that were wet as recently as last year. This is not the first finding of water on Mars. Scientists showed in 2008 that the Red Planet has frozen water. Now tools aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have found the strongest proof that salt water falls down in certain Martian places each summer, according to the researchers. Mars is now the only planet in our solar system to show signs of water on its surface, other than our own.
Five years ago, researchers found dark narrow lines on Mars’s surface that appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and are gone during the rest months of the year. The lines look like signs of water. Scientists used the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to prove it. The spacecraft (航天器）found something exciting.
“Because liquid water is necessary for life, the finding suggests that it would be possible for there to be life today on Mars,” NASA’s science mission chief, John Grunsfeld, said at a news conference.
Ojha, who led the research, however, said the salty water found by his team would not be a good home for living things, since what exists in the water is harmful to living things.
Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA’s Mars exploration program, said the best way for now to find out whether there’s life on Mars is to collect rocks and soil for study on Earth. 13. The finding of the new study is important because it shows ________. A. life once existed on Mars B. life might exist on Mars now
C. Mars could be humans，next home D. Mars is the only planet having salt water
14. According to Paragraph 3, what did the spacecraft probably find? A. Rocks and soil.
B. Some changeable lines.
C. Signs of flowing liquid water.
D. Something strange on Mars 9s surface. 15. In Michael Meyer’s opinion, ________. A. Mars isn’t suitable for life to exist
B. the Earth is the only place to do the study C. rocks and soil from Mars need to be studied D. life will be proven to exist on Mars in months

Everyone has best friends who feel down every once in a while. Maybe your best friend has recently moved, got fired or experienced something that could make her feel sad. 16 However, there are many things you can do to help cheer her up.
Communicate with her. There are many smart ways to let your best friend know how important she is to you. 17 You might consider sending a text message you both find funny. You can also
