【题目】Haad Farang (Haad Sai Yao),KohMuk
This small but striking bay in Thailand has waters free from riptides(激流),making it safe for families to play water in the sun.As its nickname implies—Farang is Thai for foreigners—you'll find a large concentration of backpackers here.Still,with only a couple of simple food shops,it's a far cry from the noises of Chaweng beach on Koh Samui or Kamala on Phuket,which makes it to be one of the top tourist destinations.
Rent a sea kayak(皮划艇)(100 baht,which is around£2 an hour) and go around the comer to Tham Morakot (the Emerald Cave),a winding cave that opens up to a.bay walled by thick leaves and often visited by groups of monkeys.It is very inspiring,but to fully appreciate it,be sure to prepare a light to avoid knocking into cave walls and other kayaks.To avoid being crowded,make the trip in the late afternoon.
Where to eat
The Ko Yao Viewpoint Hotel is the best place for tourists.Drink the sweet cocktails in favour of an icy Chang beer and sit in the last rays of the day.
Where to stay
Cheaper hotels of comparable quality are set slightly back in the forest,but if you want beachfront access it's worth choosing one of the basic hotels at Koh Mook Charlie Beach Resort (bungalows from£32).
Getting there
Fly from Bangkok to Trang with Air Asia (from£30),then take a one-hour Tigerline ship from Hat Yao Pier (£19).Besides,a five-hour ship from Phuket at Rassada Pier(£41) goes directly to the island and will drop passengers at Haad Farang.

There was once a lonely girl who wanted love very much. One day while she was walking in the woods, she found two birds. She took care of them withlove and the birds grew strong. Every morning they greeted her with a beautiful song.
The girl felt great love for the birds. She wanted their singing to last forever.
The larger and stronger of the two birds flew out of the cage. The girl watched worriedly as he flew above her. She was so afraid that he would fly away and she would never see him. So as he flew close, she caught him quickly. She felt very happy. Her love had killed him. She noticed the other bird standing at the door of the cage. She could feel his great need for freedom and his need to fly into the clear, blue sky. The bird flew around her once, twice, three times. The girl looked happily at the bird's enjoyment. Her heart did no longer care about her loss. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her hand. It sang the sweetest song she had ever heard.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tight; the best way to keep love is to give it wings!

【题目】My husband and I had been married nearly twenty-two years when I acquired Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a disorder where my immune system (免疫系统) responded to a virus by producing painful blisters (水疱). Although my long-term evaluation was good, I, who had been so fiercely independent, rapidly became absolutely helpless.
My husband, Scott, stepped up to the plate, taking care of kids and cooking dinners. He also became my personal caretaker, applying the medicine to all of my blisters because my hands couldn’t do the job. Needless to say, I had negative emotions, bouncing from embarrassment to shame caused by total reliance on someone other than myself.
At one point when I had mentally and physically hit bottoms I remember thinking that Scott must somehow love me more than I could ever love him. With my illness, he had become the stronger one, and I the weaker one. And this disturbed me.
I recovered from my illness, but I couldn’t seem to recover from the thought that I loved my husband less than he loved me. This seeming distinction in our love continued to annoy me for the year following my illness.
Then recently Scott and I went on a long bike ride. He’s an experienced cyclist; I’m quite the green hand. At one point with a strong headwind and sharp pain building in my tired legs, I really thought I couldn’t go any further. Seeing me struggle, Scott pulled in front of me and yelled over his shoulder, “Stay close behind me.” As I fell into the draft of his six- foot- three- inch frame and followed his steps, I discovered that my legs quit burning and I was able to catch my breath. My husband was pulling me along again. At this very moment I woke up to what I now believe: during these and other tough times, love has the opportunity to become stronger when one partner learns to lean on the other.
I pray my husband will always be strong and healthy. But if he should ever become the struggling one, whether on a bike ride or with an illness, I trust I’ll be ready to call out to him: Stay close behind me-my turn to pull you along.
【1】What made the author feel helpless?

【2】Which of the following can best describe the author’s husband?
A. Family-centered.
B. Not good at taking action.
C. Career-centered.
D. Independent but tired of negative emotions.
【3】What did the author’s husband do when going on the long bike ride?
A. Followed her closely. B. Gave in to her depression.
C. Backed her up all the way. D. Stopped to take care of her.
【4】Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “stepped up to the plate” in paragraph 2?
A. Moved into batting position. B. Began to take the responsibility.
C. Walked to the kitchen. D. Began to wash the plates.
