Fishing
Fishing is probably one of the most popular free-time activities in Australia and many people love spending their free time waiting at the end of a rod for a fish to bite on their line. There is free public access to almost all beaches, canals and coasts, which means there are plenty of great places to fish.
Surfing
Another popular pastime of the Australians is surfing. Australia has a lot of beautiful surf spots, especially in Queensland. Queensland has some of the best surf beaches in the country such as Noosa Heads, Stradbroke Island, Burleigh Heads, with the Gold Coast being the best known.
Boating
What else does an Australian do for fun on the weekend? They might go for a ride on their boat! Plenty of Australians live on the coast and are boat owners. Boat owners might take their craft out to go fishing, or they might just want to sail around the waters slowly.
Barbecues
Australians will also typically host barbecues with their friends and family. They really know how to barbecue. The standard of meat that is cooked and the quality of the cooking is second to none. With New Zealand being so close, the lamb is fresh and absolutely remarkable. But the lamb is not all that is cooked. Any one barbecue in Australia can expect upwards of 7 types of meat, from shrimps (虾子) to kangaroos. 21. Which of the following surf spots is the most famous in Queensland? A. Noosa Heads.

What is the most common cause for people in the UK to ask for leave due to illness? The answer is not the common cold or flu, but back pain. Back pain affects one in three British adults, costs the country over 5 billion pounds every year and is very difficult to treat. But now Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) will be offering a new solution: acupuncture. The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many years, but this is the first time it has been officially approved by the NHS.
Traditionally, doctors in the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active, do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections with medicines. However, there is evidence that acupuncture may be more effective than expensive X-rays or injections, so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture, patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation (脊柱推拿), or a series of special exercise sessions. In the UK, acupuncture is regarded as an aiding treatment, which means medical procedure hasn’t experienced serious experiments by which scientists prove some treatments work. While many experts have welcomed the policy to make acupuncture available on the NHS, some are still skeptical about its effectiveness.
Research from the US earlier this month found that similar acupuncture using toothpicks (牙签) which do not stick into the skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced, back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy again.
24. According to the passage, which is the best way to treat back pain? A. To stay active.
B. To be acupunctured.
D. To take X-ray treatment
C. To do stretching exercises. or injections.
