Dubai has become one of the top destinations for tourists. It's considered as the tourism centre in the region. You will find everything you can expect in Dubai ranging from deserts to beautifully built malls. People from around the world visit Dubai for enjoying its wonders.
If you are in Dubai, avoid driving yourself. There are various reasons for this. Firstly, Dubai has strict laws and if you haven't a driving license you might be up the creek. Secondly, Dubai is considered as one of the most dangerous driving places because it has the highest death rates on roads per capital in the world. Thirdly, you might be unaware of destinations. So, avoid driving yourself as much as possible and try to use public transports like taxis, buses and metro trains.
Gulf is hot and the temperature there often reaches above 60 celsius degree especially from April to October. So, if you are planning to visit Dubai, you had better avoid months of extreme hotness and plan your trip in winter so you can fully enjoy the wonders of Dubai without getting worried about weather conditions.
There are different types of hotels ranging from cheap to more expensive ones. So, select one according to your trip budget. However, make sure your hotel is not even close to a construction site. This is because construction in Dubai is being carried out 24 hours non-stop and if you choose a hotel near such a site you might be in trouble because of construction noise. Therefore, always book a room away from such trouble-making places.
In short, for making your trips to Dubai pleasant, you should always prepare beforehand—select the winter weather and book a hotel that's not close to noisy places. You should also try to avoid the things that might create trouble if you like driving by your own without a driving license and without knowing the destination.

Researchers in China and the United States have developed a new cataract(白内障)treatment with cells that has restored vision in babies in a trial and may eventually be used in adults.
The treatment- by doctors and staff members at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Sichuan and Sun Yat-sen universities in China-was published in March 9 edition of the scientific journal Nature.
A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens(晶体)of an eye. Typical cataract operation involves the removal of the cloudy lens and the insertion of an artificial one. The new operation has been tested in animals and during a small, human trial. It resulted in fewer complications(并发症)than the current harmful operation, and in regrown lenses with superior visual function in all 12 of the baby cataract patients who received the procedure.
A congenital cataract- lens clouding that occurs at birth or shortly after- is important cause of blindness in children. In the new research, Kand Zhang, head of ophthalmic genetics at US San Diego’s Shiley Eye Institute, and his colleagues relied on the regrown potential of endogenous(同源的)stem cells.
According to Zhang, endogenous stem cells are different from other stem cells that are typically grown in a laboratory, transplanted into a patient, and can have risks of immune（免疫的）rejection, infection or cancers. Zhang told CBS News, “We invented a new operation to make a very small opening at the side of a cataractous lens bag, remove the cataract inside, allow the opening to heal, and promote potential lens stem cells to regrow an entirely new lens with vision.”
The human trial involved 12 babies under the age of 2 who were treated with the new method, while 25 babies received thee standard operation care.. The latter group experienced a higher incidence of pos- operation danger, early- onset eye high blood pressure and increased lens clouding. The scientists reported fewer complications and faster healing among the 12 babies who has the new procedure.
1.What is the text mainly about?
A. The concept of the cataract
B. A new cataract treatment with stem cells
C. Bad effects of post-operation in the cataract
D. The reasons why the cataract comes into being
2.Which of the following best describe the new cataract treatment according to the passage?
A. Convenient B. Comfortable
C. Cheap D. Safe
3.What can we learn about the new cataract treatment?
A. It has more risks
B. It may be used widely
C. It has been put into practice widely
D. It can only restore vision in babies
4.What does the underlined word “congenital” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Born B. Strange
C. Serious D. Dangerous.

Cyclist Alain Such has been dropped from the Ingotel cycling team for two years after a positive drug test at the Institute of drug Free Sport. “ I was flabbergasted.” Said Didier Garcia, from Team Ingotel. “Alain joined our team last month and we had no idea that he was being examined.”
It’s a story that has become more and more familiar in recent years. Dr. Mohammad Farnood, a leading sports scientist from Cairo, Egypt, said, “ It is thought that some athletes will look for other ways to improve performance in addition to using drugs.”
However, it has not always been against the law. In the Olympics in 1904, Thomas Hicks won the marathon after using drugs in the middle of the race. In fact, the first one didn’t make him feel better for long, so he was given another and, as a result, he fell down soon after finishing and knew nothing. Another one may well have killed him.
Things are very different today. Some scientists are considering the possibilities of using genetic engineering to further develop athletes’ abilities. “If it works with no risk of discovering,” said Dr Farnood, “ then it’s likely to become common practice for athletes.”
Researchers are looking at the possibility of identifying “athletic” genes and correcting weak ones. Put into practice, this would make a person healthier and stronger. Once scientists understand what genes of top athletes look like , it might even become possible to identify “athletic” genes in young people, and then money could be spent on children who have the most promising genes.
“People are beginning to recognize that genetics can in many ways do good to our society, for example in saving lives and in creating better quality food for people.” Dr Farnood says. “ So, is it fair to use genetic engineering in sport? You could ask if it’s fair for some runners to use the latest scientifically developed footwear. The key question is whether it’s available to everyone.”
1.What does the underlined word “ flabbergasted” in Paragraph 1 mean ?
A. Shy . B. Proud.
C. Excited. D. Surprised.
2.What happened to Thomas Hicks in 1904 ?
A. He was badly hurt in training.
B. He broke the law when running in a race.
C. He took drugs and almost got killed.
D. He lost the match in the Olympic Games.
3.Who may show the greatest concern about using genetic engineering in sport ?
A. Didier Garcia .
B. Thomas Hicks.
C. Cyclist Alain Such .
D. Dr Mohammad Farnood.
4.What can we learn from Paragraph 5 and 6 ?
A. The possibility of identifying “athletic” genes has become available .
B. It’s not clear whether it is fair to use genetic engineering in sport.
C. The practice of using drugs in sport has a long history.
D. It’s dangerous to use drugs in sport.
