      A

     Whenever there’s a coral reef, the chances are there are divers nearby.  Diving is one of the fastest-growing water sports in the world.  Among the world’s favorite diving sports are the northern edge of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and the Maldives’ islands in the Indian Ocean.  There, there is enough underwater activity to satisfy the most demanding diver.

     B

       People have been skiing since 3000 BC, but the birth of modern skiing --- for pleasure rather than necessity --- only began in the late 19th century.  Since then, winter’s top sport has become an industry.  European countries, especially those along the Alps are famous for their skiing spots.  Norway, France and Switzerland are good choices.  There you can enjoy plenty of exercise among the mountainous forests while breathing in the fresh air.  Within a couple of lessons, you will be gliding through the trees in style.

      C

       Many beautiful mountains are now linked by steel cables and ladders.  You can work your way up the kind of rocks that would otherwise be only fit for birds.  Besides the proper equipment, you often need a strong will.  Europe’s highest mountain, Mont Blanc at 4807 meters, is a common goal for climbers worldwide.

      D

       Have you been to Shanghai?  Did you climb the TV tower?  The tower is the highest in Asia, and the CN Tower is in Toronto.  Let’s view the city from the tower.  Most buildings in Toronto are not very high.  But the CN tower stands out among the buildings.  It is 553 meters high, the world’s highest tower.

     E

       In a zoo without bars, safaris are adventure in its purest form.  Out on safari, it is the animals who rule the land.  From jeeps, you can see the struggles of life and death in a variety of wildlife, such as elephants, lions, birds and snakes.

       The national parks in Africa are the perfect places for safaris.

      F

    At first it all seems rather easy as you drift along with the water only occasionally reaching over the sides of your raft.  And then suddenly, you realize why they call it white-water rafting. 

    First comes the dull, distant roar of rapids, then a wash of white water and finally the roller-coaster ride that turns you at top speed down the river.  The Bio-Bio River in Chile and the Colorado River in the US are among the finest white-water destinations.

    Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York., in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.

    Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.

    Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.

    By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.” （词数268）

    Do you know what it means when somebody tells you that he had “a catch-22 experience”?

    The phrase “catch-22” comes from a book of the same title by the American writer Joseph Heller published in 1961．Catch-22 is a book of black humor．The author uses silly and even surreal(超现实的)events．It has a non-linear narrative structure(非线性的叙述结构)in which events follow the theme rather than the timing，to give us a very strange picture full of contradictions(矛盾)．

    The story takes places in a bomber base in Italy during World WarⅡ．The main character, Captain Yossarian wants to leave the war．Unfortunately, every time he completes the number of tasks to be sent home，the number is raised and he is forced to continue fighting．It seems hopeless for him to go home under the very strange rule in this Air Force-catch-22：only when a soldier goes crazy can he be allowed to go home．But he has to go to the hospital to show the doctors that he is crazy．However, if he tells them he is crazy but is obvious healthy, he cannot go home．In short，catch-22 is“heads 1 win，tails I lose．If you can you can’t；and if you can’t，you can．”Whenever you try to behave correctly in a crazy world．There’s a catch(潜在的困难)．

    During the Vietnam War, the phrase“catch-22”became a popular term for being caught in a no．win，circular dilemma and is now commonly used． The Oxford English Dictionary explains catch．22 as“a set of circumstances in which one requirement，etc，is dependent upon another, which is in turn dependent upon the first．”

    1. Which of the following statements is right?

    A. Catch-22 is one of Heller’s experiences during World War II．

    B. Catch-22 is one of Yossarian’s experiences during the Vietnam War．

    C. The events in catch-22 follow the theme．

    D. The events in catch-22 follow the timing．

    2.Why did Captain Yossarian fail to leave the war?

    A. He wasn’t so anxious to leave the war．

    B. He didn’t finish his tasks．

    C. He was put into a catch-22 situation．

    D. He wasn’t mad enough to be sent home．

    3.What does the underlined sentence most probably mean?

    A. Whenever and however you try, you are unable to reach the goal．

    B. You can solve every problem you meet as long as you want to．

    C. You can’t solve any problem in your life．

    D. If you can’t solve all the problems．you can solve none．

    4.The phrase“catch-22”came into being ________ _．

    A. in World War II    B. in the Vietnam War   C. in the 1950s              D. in the 1960s
