My Travel Hotel Preference Check Reservations Tool Weather Maps Driving Directions | Q My husband and I would like to spend five or six days in the Maldives. Could you suggest some low-priced hotels? We'll be there in November. Jan Davies, email. A Prices in the Maldives are high. The cheaper hotels (and there aren't many) mightn't be much to look at, with unpleasant rooms, iron roofs, old buildings, poor and rough vegetation and basic facilities, but they get their atmosphere from cheerful customers and an untidy, free island feel. Angaga (South Ari Atoll, phone 0011 960 450510), Asdu Sun Island (North Male Atoll, email info@asdu.com.mv) are both a bit like this. You'll be there in the low season (May to November), when its' still warm, but there's a greater likelihood of rain, so you should be able to get a double (standard ) room with full board (three meals a day) for $ 100 a night. However, pricing structures for the hotels are enormously complex for standard, superior and luxurious rooms. Q My husband and I are from Australia. We are planning a four-week trip to London, Dublin and Paris in October and we are shocked by the cost of hotels. We have searched the Internet and hotel books given to us by tourist authorities but we can't find anything cheaper than $ 150 a night. Joan Maloney, email. A For Australians traveling Europe, especially its capital cities, is expensive. You may have to increase your budget . However, if you can't afford these costs, then you should consider staying in hotels where the cheapest twin rooms with shared bathroom cost about$20 a person in Dublin and Paris and $35 in London. The minimum you would pay for a double room in a central area is $50 a person in Dublin and Paris and $70 in London. These prices are for shared bathroom facilities, though you will get a wonderfully unhealthy cooked breakfast thrown in. Not all hotels are equal, of course, and it's a good idea to consult a guidebook with a good reputation. |
1.The hotel Angaga in the Maldives_________.
A. attracts untidy people B. has some basic facilities

B. standard, superior and luxurious rooms are all available
C. the weather will probably be better than that of the low season
D. a standard room with full board will cost less than $100 a night.
3.What is the advice for the couple planning to visit Europe in October?
A. They should stay in hotels in a central area

After years of sales growth, major publishers reported a fall in their e-book sales for the first time this year, introducing new doubts about the potential of e-books in the publishing industry. Yet despite the increasing realization that digital and print can easily coexist in the market, the question of whether the e-book will “kill” the print book continues to surface. It doesn’t matter if the intention is to predict or dismiss this possibility; the potential disappearance of the book does not stop to inspire our imagination.
After television was invented, many claimed radio would die. But radio ended up surviving by finding new uses; people started listening in cars, during tram rides and on factory floors. The myth of the disappearing book isn’t new, either. As early as 1894, there was guess that they’d be replaced by what we today call audiobooks. This happened again and again. Movies, radio, television, and smartphones—all conspired to destroy print books as a source of culture and entertainment. It is not by chance that the idea of the death of the book surfaces in moments of technological change.
We create emotional bonds with media as they become an integral part of our life. The emergence of a new technology —like e-readers — doesn’t just in indicate economic and social change. It also causes us to adjust our relationship with something that has become an integral part of our day-to-day life.
The ones who still worry for the disappearance of print books may rest assured: Books have endured many technical revolutions and are in the best position to survive this one. Yet the myth of the disappearing medium will continue to provide an appealing narrative about both the power of technology and our dislike to change. Easy to remember and to spread, the story of the death of media reflects our excitement for the future, as well as our fear of losing parts of our intimate world一and finally, of ourselves.
1.What do people tend to believe according to the text?
A. Print books will disappear in the end.
B. It is unwise to invest in e-books.
C. Digital and print will exist all the time.
D. The death of books is just an imagination.
2.What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. The forms of books change with new technology.
B. Books have a bright digital future actually.
C. Culture will disappear with the end of books.
D. The idea of book death follows technological changes.
3.What does the myth of disappearing books reflect?
A. Our doubt about the power of technology.
B. Our fear of losing ourselves in society.
C. Our preference for new technology.
D. Our pleasure of experiencing technical revolutions.

On Saturday morning, every boy in town was happy, except Tom sawyer. Tom’s aunt said he had to paint the fence. It was thirty yards long and three yards high! Tom painted a small corner, and then he sat down under a tree to have a rest.
Soon the boy who were free would come along and make fun of him. Just then, he had a wonderful idea. He picked up his brush and went back to work.
Ben Rogers came along the road. He sang happily, with an apple in one hand.
“I’m going swimming,” said Ben. “Do you want to come? Oh, but you have to work, don’t you?” “Work?” he said. “I don’t think that this is work. It’s fun. Does a boy get a chance like this every day?”
Ben thought about this. Tom went on painting. Ben was watching Tom’s every move. He was getting more and more interested.
After awhile, he said, “Tom, will you let me do some painting?”
Tom said, “No, Ben, I can’t. You see, Aunt Polly wants it to be done properly. I’m the only one that can do it right.”
“Oh, please, Tom,” begged Ben. “I’ll be really careful. I’ll give you half of my apple. I’ll give you all of it!”
“Well, all right, Ben,” said Tom. “But you must be careful.”
He gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart. He sat down again under the tree, and started to eat Ben’s apple.

Third-Culture Kids
Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid!
The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 1. About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals.
2. In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. 3. While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.
For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 4. She did not share the same values as her friends’ even years after going back home.
While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”.5.
As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.
A. Yet being a third-culture kid is no
t always easy.
B. In general
, they often reach excellent academic results.
C. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.
D. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.
E. Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences.
F. Unlike other teens of her age, she didn’t know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends.
G. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid.
