The town itself isn’t very interesting,but everything around it 1. (is / are) beautiful I can see the Himalayas through the cafe window!

     The courses here are great,although maths2. (is / are) certainly not my strong point. A lot of Nepal5  population lives in the mountainous parts of the country south of the Himalayas, and most of these people 3. (depend /depends) on growing crops and keeping animals. The standard of living in Kathmandu and the other cities 4. (have / has) risen a lot recently, and the number of people likely to move into the cities 5. (is / are) expected to increase. It's a real problem here. The Himalayan Times,the local English-language newspaper,6.  (has /have) just published a survey showing that most young people would stay in their home villages if jobs were available.

      Hope all 7. (is / are) well with you.I'llsend more news when I can.

① 本句是一个主从复合句。

② 主句是 She has achieved everything,she wanted to do 是省略了 关系词that的定语从句，修饰

④ 在 showing that Women can live in the forest as men can 动词-ing 形 式结构中，that引导的从句作 showing的宾语;在宾语从句中又^ 含有一个由as引导的从句，can 后省略了 live in the forest

     The McDonald family from Glasgow,Scotland,was on holiday in Western Australia when their vehicle broke down in a desert area ninety miles north of the town of Laverton. This happened on a Tuesday,and the McDonalds were expected to arrive in the city of Kalgoorlie on Wednesday evening. When they did not show up,Mrs. McDonald's brother told the local police.

      A spokesperson from the rescue team that discovered the McDonalds’ vehicle said that the family planned carefully for their desert trip. They knew that they needed to stay with their vehicle instead of setting out to seek help,and they did the right thing by lighting a fire as a signal to attract attention.

When it comes to making a desert trip,the spokesperson also suggested bringing warm clothing for the cold nights and light clothing,hats,and sunscreen for the hot days. Besides,travelers should have a well-stocked survival kit (装备) including a first-aid kit,map,matches or lighter,and a knife. They should also make sure to pack plenty of food and water,spare tires (轮胎)and fuel. The spokesperson's final suggestion was to tell a friend or family member about your travel plans.

When asked what advice he could share with other possible desert travelers,Mr. McDonald said, “Don’t panic. Stay where you are and wait to be rescued” This trip through the Australian desert is one vacation the McDonald family will never forget!
