     Introduction
    
Consisting of 10 main islands and eight smaller islets off the west coast of Africa, Cape Verde is an
archipelago with a lot to offer tourists, whether they are looking for a relaxing beach holiday, great surfing
or a hiking trip in valcanic and mountainous landscape. Sal, the main tourist island, has wonderful sandy
beaches to rival any in the world and also fantastic surfing and diving spots. With its warm climate all year
round, wonderfully dirverse landscapes, friendly locals and great food and music, Cape Verde really is an
attractive destination.
1.                          
     With year round warmth and cold ocean currents helping to keep the temperatures from rising too high, Cape Verde has an attractive climate for torists, and the majority of visitors are Western Europeans. The
people who go to Cape Verde for the beach life tend to be families, while it is quite a young, adventure-
seeking crowed that goes there for the diving or surfing.
2.                          
     Cape Verde is located in the Atlantic Ocean some 500 km to the west of the Afican continent. Indeed,
the name itself is taken from the name of that western-most tip, which can be found on Senegal. The
islands are divided into two groups-the Barlavento (windward islands) and the Sotavento (leeward islands).
3.                          
     With warm sunny days year round there really is no bad time to go to Cape Verde.Some visitors might
preder to visit in winter and spring when daytime temperatures are a couple of degrees cooler and rarely
exceed 25 ?
4.                          
     The resorts on Sal have plenty of facilities for families and the beaches by Santa Maria are great for
kids, with their white, fine sand. On some of the islands it is possible to do a bit of bird and turtle spotting
without intruding too much on their habitats, and on Sao Vicente and Santiago it is possible to go horse
riding.
5.                          
     On the islands public transport services are by minibuses or trucks. Taxis in central areas are cheap.
Between the islands of Santiago, Sao Vicente and Sal there are flights at least once daily. Flights to the
other islands are less frequent. TACV Cabo Verde Airlines (www.flytacv.com) is the main operator. There
are regular ferry services between the islands, but departures are sometimes unpredictable.

   It has been a week and the effect is the same.I truly do look at money differently and have even done a few things differently this week.This is an e-book you’ll want to read, I promise.I often recommend books to my daughter, and this is one that I didn’t just “suggest”---I left it open at the bottom of the computer and told each one, “Read it, you’ll love it.”

Where is that noise coming from? Not sure? Try living with your eyes closed for a few years.

Blind people are better at locating sounds than people who can see, a new study says, without the benefits of vision the ears seem to work much better.

Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources of sounds that are close by. Researchers from the University of Montreal wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away.

Twenty-three blind people participated in the study. All had been sightless for at least 20 years. Fourteen of them had lost their vision before age 11. the rest went blind after age 16. The experiment also included 10 people who could see but were wearing blind-folds.

In one task, volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from about 3 meters away. When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front, both groups performed equally well.

When sounds came from the side or the back, however, the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded group. The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost their sight later.

Recognizing the locations of distant sounds can be a matter of life-or-death for blind people, say the researchers. Crossing the street, for instance, is much harder when you can’t see the cars coming.

Still, the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did, especially those who went blind after age 16. In another experiment, the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11. These brain parts didn’t show sound-location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted people. The scientists now want to learn more about the working of brains of “late-onset” blind people.

The recent study shows blind people are better at telling __________.

A. The sources of loud sounds.     B. the locations of distant sounds

C. the direction of sharp sounds    D. the distance of a sound in front of them

Which would be a proper title for the passage?

A. A Research on Blind People     B. Where is That Noise Coming from?

C. Hearing Better in the Dark      D. What If Living Without Your Eyes?

If people were asked to tell the direction of a sound from the side, who would perform best?

A. Those who are blind.              B. Those who have gone blind since children.

C. Those who went blind at age 16.     D. Those who are blindfolded.

Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Whether to be able to locate the sounds can be of vital importance for the blind.

B. All the volunteers in the experiment are sightless.

C. All the participants did equally well when picking sounds from whatever direction.

D. The later people become blind, the better they can perform in telling the direction of sounds.

What do we know about that parts of brain dealing with visual information are active in locating sounds?

A. This happens in almost all the testers.

B. This only occurs in the people who were blind after age 16.

C. It remains nothing new to the scientists any more.

D. It remains a mystery why it is so.
