If you’re dreaming of visiting one of those picture-perfect European towns filled
with old-world attractiveness and scenic beauty,here is a look at the most beautiful small
towns in Europe.
Manarola
Manarola,Italy,is filled with rainbow-coloured
homes along the Mediterranean(地中海) coast.This
attractive fishing town is famous for its unbelievable
wine,and the paintings.There are no cars here,no
traffic lights,or traffic noise.You can drive to Manarola,but you’ll have to park just
outside the town and then take a shuttle bus or walk.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Garmisch-Partenkirchen,Germany,is a
beautiful 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.The town dates back to 15 AD,filled with
narrow,cobblestoned (鹅卵石) streets lined with
historic three or four-story buildings painted with religious scenes.
Marsaxlokk
The energetic trading port of Marsaxlokk,Malta,was
built in 900 BC.Today,this picture-like town is the main
supplier 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
nice place to visit.
Portmagee,Ireland
In 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
coloured buildings along with a rich and colorful history.At

My name is Albert,and I live in Chantilly,Va.I will tell
you what happened to me on June 24,1996,when I was 13
years old.I was at home looking after my sister,who was
mentally handicapped(残疾).My father was at work while
my mother and younger sister were at my mom’s office.
I had noticed the clouds growing darker and the ones to the East were turning
green.At first I thought nothing of it,but then on the TV,the weather reporter was
announcing a big thunderstorm warning,one that usually brings hail and heavy rain.
After seeing that,I called my mother and told her about it.She told me I should not
be worried because it was just a thunderstorm.Then I looked outside and noticed it was
almost pitch black at 4:30.I took a flashlight because I was sure the power was going to
go out any second.Then no sooner had I gotten back from getting the flashlight than the
weather reporter announced a tornado warning!I had never been in an actual tornado
before,but I had seen some funnel clouds before in Montana.
Suddenly I realised I had no time to lose and I had to try to get my sister down the
stairs to the basement in a matter of minutes.I surprisingly got her down there with no
trouble at all and I raced back up the stairs to get the cordless phone.When I got back
downstairs,my dad called and told me to get downstairs immediately.I told him I was
already down there!He said OK and we talked for a few seconds and then we hung
up.Then through the basement windows,the only thing I could see was when lightning
struck.
I do not recall hearing of any deaths,or too many injuries so I guess everyone got a
good head start to run to their basements.Either that or we are all lucky.

The quick action of Nick helped five people escape a fire on Hope Road.Nick said he
usually left his house at about 5:30 am to do morning exercises,but that day he decided to
stay at home to get his daughter ready for school.As he looked at his neighbor’s house,he
found that it was on fire.“I saw smoke and flames and ran over and started beating on the
side of the house shouting,‘Your house is on fire!Your house is on fire!’” Nick
remembered it was at about 9 am that the firefighters put out the fire.

were heavy flames outside on the house,” Jerry said.He called Nick a hero,saying that
without his quick responses(回应) the result could have been much worse.“The
firefighters were fast,” Nick said.“They arrived here within about three minutes.”
“They did a great job,and I can’t thank them enough,” Penny said,and then looked
at what remained in the house and shook her head as tears rolled down in her
eyes.“Everything I have is gone.Luckily nobody was hurt in the fire.” She said the fire
could have been caused by an electrical problem.“We’ve been having problems with
mice,so that we could have had something to do with it,” she added.

The American city Anchorage is recovering from a powerful earthquake Friday that
damaged public buildings,homes and roads.
The 7.0 earthquake caused buildings to shake.But there have been no reports of
deaths,serious injuries or damage.Officials say the quake has not affected transportation
of food and supplies.“The ships are coming in on schedule,the supply lines are at this
point working well,” the government told reporters Sunday.
The Glenn Highway was probably the road hit hardest by the earthquake.It
connects the state’s largest city to other parts in the north.Traffic has been heavy and
moving slowly since the quake.Drivers are being guided.Groups of workers are trying to
rebuild areas where the quake left large holes in the road.
People who are still nervous after the major quake have been more upset by more
than 1,700 aftershocks.“Anything that moves,you feel terrified,” said David,whose home
suffered structural(结构)damage,including a sunken foundation(地基).Actually,Alaska
came up with strict building rules after a 9.2 earthquake in 1964.That was the second
most powerful earthquake on record.
Government officials said a public health centre promises that money for medical
treatment will continue to come.Mental healthy service(心理健康服务)is also available
for people hurt by the disaster.
Earthquake experts say there is a 4 percent chance of another 7.0 earthquake or
greater in the following week.“The chance is very small,but it’s not impossible,” said
the expert,Paul Caruso.
33.What was the result of the earthquake?
A.Buildings were damaged. B.Food supply was cut off.
C.Many people were killed. D.The ships could not come in.
34.Why is the traffic slow on the Glenn Highway?
A.Because small quakes hit the city. B.Because falling rocks are a danger.
C.Because the highway is badly damaged. D.Because drivers are misled.
35. What can you learn from Paul Caruso?
A.Another greater earthquake is on the way.
B.Chances of another earthquake still exist.
C.It will be safe in the first week after the quake.
D.There is no possibility for more quakes.
36.Where can you possibly read the passage?
A.In a story book. B.In a travel journal.
C.In a poster. D.In a newspaper.

Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the
question:“Should I jump?”This is what motivation or the lack of it can do.Motivation and
goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. 37 Like the child on the diving
board,you will stay undecided.
38 More than that,how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal?First,you
need to evaluate yourself,your values,your strengths,your weaknesses,your
achievements,your desires ,etc.Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation.This is quite
important,because it is directly related to your commitment.There are times when your
heart is not in your work. 39 So,slow down and think what you really want to do at
that moment.Clarity(清晰)of thoughts can help you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term
objectives,keeping in mind your beliefs,values and strengths.Remember that goals are
flexible. 40 They also need to be measurable.You must keep these points in mind
while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important.For example,you may want to be
a pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. 41 You
should reassess your goals,and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties,some planned,but most
unplanned.You cannot overcome them without ample motivation.Make sure that you plan
for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
A.This can affect your work. B.So how should you motivate yourself?
C.However,this should not discourage you.
D.So why should we try to set specificgoals?
E.They can change according to circumstances.
F.Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.
G.Without motivation,you can neither set a goal nor reach it.

woman.Sue,a 44-year-old mother,had been out for her morning run.The deer followed

self-defense,and the deer charged.It lifted her with its antlers(鹿角) and threw her into
the air.Sue could feel blood flow down her leg.Within seconds,the deer had pushed her
off the road.
When Alexis and her father pulled up,the deer was throwing Sue like a doll.Alexis
