    If you want to attend the hottest events of 2014, don’t waste your time looking through dozens of hotel options（选择）or vacation packages. Instead, look to cruise ships（坐航游）that can ferry you to and from the most expected holiday, sporting, and cultural events of the year.
    Here’s a look at the some of the most popular:
    Australian Open in Melbourne (January 13–26, 2014)
    Tennis fans worldwide are eager for the tickets to matches at any one of the four annual Grand Slam events: the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open. In January 2014, luxury cruise line Silversea will offer fans a three-night pre-cruise package to the 109th Australian Open in Melbourne. Silversea passengers will attend third round singles matches at Rod Laver Arena on January 17 and 18 before taking the 382-passenger Silver Shadow for a special 15-night Melbourne to Bali voyage.
    Carnival in Rio de Janeiro (February 28–March 4, 2014)
    Rio de Janeiro’s Carnival is one of the most popular celebrations of its kind in the world, drawing two million visitors each and every day of the festivities that include parades, street fairs, and costume balls. Holland America’s Maasdam will spend three days in Rio during Carnival as part of its 26-day Amazon & Carnival Explorer journey.
    2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil (June 12–July 13, 2014)
    If you’re a soccer fan that came up empty in the search for a hotel room for the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals in Rio de Janeiro, there’s still hope. Book MSC Cruises’ 18-night Miami to Rio voyage aboard Divina. The ship departs Miami on May 24 and arrives in Rio just in time for the World Cup.
    New Year’s Eve in Hong Kong (December 31, 2014)
    Hong Kong is a magical destination（目的地）and New Year’s Eve festivities and fireworks pull out all the stops to make a holiday trip to that city even more attractive. Crystal Cruises’ all-inclusive luxury ship, Symphony, will spend two nights in Hong Kong-- and celebrate New Year’s Eve Chinese-style—during its 15-night holiday voyage that leaves Bangkok on December 21.

    One winter evening, a storekeeper was going to close up his shop. Suddenly he saw Seth, a lazy, good-for-nothing fellow grab a pound of fresh butter and concealed it in his hat. No sooner had the storekeeper seen the act than he hit upon exactly the right revenge. He would punish the thief, and satisfy his own appetite for fun.
    Seth had his hat on his head, and the butter in his hat. He was anxious to leave. However, the rightful owner of the butter offered him a cup of hot drink, took him by the shoulders and planted him in a seat close to the stove. The grocer stuffed in the stove as many sticks of wood as he could possibly fit inside.
    Seth already could feel the butter settling down closer to his hair, so he jumped up, declaring that he must go. “Sit down; don’ t be in such a hurry,” replied the grocer, pushing him back into the chair again.
    Streak after streak of the butter came pouring from under the poor man’s hat. The fun-loving grocer kept on stuffing wood into the stove. Then, as if surprised, he remarked, “You seem to be perspiring (排汗) as if you were warm! Let me put your hat away for you.”
    “No!” exclaimed poor Seth at last, unable to stand it a moment longer. “No, I must go; let me out.”
    A greasy (油腻的) waterfall of butter was now pouring down the poor man’s face and neck, soaking (浸泡) into his clothes, and trickling down his body into his boots. He was bathed in oil from head to toe.
    Just as his victim darted out the door, the grocer said, “I reckon (估计) the fun I’ve had out of you is worth the money, so I shan’t charge you for that pound of butter in your hat.”
    1．Why did Seth put the butter in his hat?
    A. Because he just wanted to play a trick on the grocer.
    B. Because he had nowhere to put the butter but in the hat.
    C. Because he wanted to revenge himself on the grocer.
    D. Because he didn’t want to pay for it.
    2．What is not the action that the grocer took as a revenge?
    A. The grocer offered Seth a cup of hot drink.
    B. The grocer forced Seth to take a seat near the stove.
    C. The grocer overcharged Seth for the butter.
    D. The grocer offered to take off Seth’s hat.
    3．What was the purpose of the grocer’s hospitality?
    A. He wanted to make friends with Seth.
    B. He wanted to be kind to him.
    C. He wanted to take his revenge on Seth by making the butter in his hat melt.
    D. He wanted to sell more of his goods.
    4．What is the best title of the passage?
    A. Great fun B. The right revenge C. A fun-loving grocer D. A foolish customer

    Wondering if you’re overdue? Here are 4 signs. It’s time to rest and recharge yourself with a much-needed getaway, along with our suggestions of where to go.
    Working Overtime Is Your Life

    If long hours are part of your job and you’re not willing to find different work, book off some vacation days. Vacations give us something to look forward to when the daily hard work is weighing us down.
    ? REST up at a destination spa (度假式水疗).
    ? RECHARGE your batteries on a skiing vacation.
    You’ve an Unhealthy Way of Life

    Only time can mend a broken heart, but spending time with your best friends may speed things along. Plan a girlfriends’ getaway or guys’ weekend immediately!
    ? REST by the fountain at a hot see-and-be-seen LA boutique hotel.
    ? RECHARGE on a shopping trip or at a non-stop party hotspot.
    You’re Nursing a Broken Heart

    Though it’s possible to kick bad habits like smoking or over-eating at home a trip abroad may make it a bit easier. On a vacation with healthy lifestyle habits at the centre, you’re forced to focus on self-care in a way which would prove impossible at home.
    It’s not enough to take care of your health on the rare occasion you can go on vacation: use vacations to kick-start a healthier lifestyle which is sustainable on a daily basis when you get back home. 
    ? REST a troubled mind at a yoga retreat.
    ? RECHARGE energy levels by the sea.
    You’ve Got No Skills Left To Improve

    Challenging ourselves to carry out new tasks keeps our bodies and minds active. If you’re an expert at everything and a newbie (新手) at nothing, it’s time to move outside your comfort zone. Travel is renowned for providing that opportunity for growth.
    ? REST your body while challenging your brain, by learning a language abroad.
    ? RECHARGE yourself with a healing art like massage-therapy or a cooking course.
