This attractive fishing town is famous for its unbelievable wine, and the paintings. There are no cars here, no traffic lights, or traff ic noise. You can drive to Manarola, but you’ll have to park just outside the town and then take a shuttle bus or walk in on foot.Garmisch-PartenkirchenGarmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, is a fascinating(迷人的) mountain town. Once two separate(分开的) towns, one Roman and the other Teutonic, the 1936 Winter Olympics forced them to become one, though the two sides still have different characters(特点). The town dates back to 15 AD, filled with narrow, cobblestoned streets lined with historic three or four-story buildings painted with religious scenes(宗教场景).MarsaxlokkThe energetic trading port of Marsaxlokk, Malta, was built in 900 BC．Today, this pictures-like town is the main supplier(供应地) of fish to the island nation that sits in the Mediterranean Sea. It has no modern buildings to ruin its attractiveness. With such quiet surroundings, including the traditional luzzu’s (fishing boats), it’s a particularly charming(迷人的) place to visit.Portmagee, IrelandIn a country filled with beautiful towns, Portmagee, is a standout, sitting on the southwest coast of Ireland. This postcard-perfect seaside fishing town has a row of brightly colored buildings along with a rich and colorful history. At The Bridge Bar, you’ll find live music many nights of the week along with nice f ood and a fine glass of beer.21．In which town are tourists not allowed to go sightseeing by car? A．Manarola.

Third Grade Moore Elementary teacher Lindsey Winders said a shout-out is a compliment(称赞) that students can say or write down. “Like, ‘hey I noticed you doing a really great job solving your math problems yesterday. I wanted to make sure you know that I saw you do that.” Winders said.Winders said she makes sure she is giving shout-outs to her students every day. “I might write them a sticky note, or write them a quick little note in their planner. I might just say it to them on their way into the classroom or on their way out of the classroom, but most importantly I try to do it every day,” Winders said.In addition to the compliments, Winders has the students greet(问候) each other every morning during morning meeting. She will have students give examples to the class of how to communicate in different settings(场景). Third grade student Nayelli Moranchel said she had given at least six shout-outs this year. “It makes me happy, because they always write something back,” Moranchel said.Recently, Winders took it one step further and wrote a personalized note on each of her students’ desk. “In our classroom, sometimes it can be challenging for me to give a compliment or a shout-out to each and every one of them in a way that feels equal(平等的) and valuable at the same time. So I decide that there is no better way than leaving a note on their desk that can stay for as long as they wants it to,” Winders said.Winders said it is encouraging when she sees her students copy the act, and give each other compliments without her guidance(指导).24．What does the underlined word “that” mean in Paragraph 1?A．Giving a shout-out. B．Solving math problems.C．Teaching important lessons. D．Writing down the names of students. 25．How does Winders show her students the importance of compliments? A．By helping them take notes.B．By making practical plans for them.C. By serving as a daily example herselfD. By greeting them during morning meeting.26．What is the best way that Winders finds to give her students compliments? A．Leaving a note on each student’s desk.B．Praising them as long as they want it.C．Explaining the value of compliments.D．Giving them shout-outs at the same time.27．What can we infer about Winder’s way of praising students?A．It is very successful. B．It is facing challenges.C．It needs proper guidance. D．It is copied by other teachersC. Every time you go to the supermarket you come away with your purchases packed in plastic bags. But wouldn’t it be kinder to the environment if you asked for paper bags instead? The answer is not as easy as it might seem. Environmentalists(环境主义者）say there are drawbacks（缺点）to using both plastic bags and paper bags.80 percent of groceries（零售商）in the US are packed in plastic bags and the numbers are becoming huge. Consumers use between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags per year worldwide. Some experts believe that all these bags harm the environment. Plastic takes hundreds of years to break down and, as it does so, poisonous materials are released into the water and soil.Further damage is caused if plastic bags enter the sea. For example, endangered sea turtles cannot tell the bags from jellyfish（水母）, their main source of food, and often choke（窒息）on them. However, this kind of bag does have its advantages. Paper bags use more energy and create more waste than plastic bags. Plastic bags require 40 percent less energy to produce and cause 70 percent less air pollution. They also release as much as 94 percent less waste into the water than paper ones do.But paper bags do break down more quickly than plastic bags. They don’t endanger wildlife, either.So what should we do? One possible solution would be to use biodegradable plastic bags. “Biodegradable” means that the bags break down naturally just like a piece of banana peel when it is left outside. But until biodegradable technology improves, it might be easier to pack things you buy in reusable cloth bags. 28．Compared to paper bags, plastic bags ______.A．produce 6 percent more wasteB．can be made biodegradable more easilyC．can be used as a source of foodD．save 40 percent of the energy29．By saying “The answer is not as easy as it might seem,” (in paragraph 2) the writer means _____.A．biodegradable plastic bags can compete with paperB．paper bags seem to be kind to environmentC．it’s difficult to say whether plastic or paper bags are better for the environment.D. It is good to use paper bags.30．What does the author suggest people use at the present time?A．Paper bags B．Plastic bagsC．Biodegradable plastic bags. D.
