Here’s ur pick f the mst beautiful Eurpean cities with hardly any turists:

Nrwich, England

Orange, France
While Avignn draws in thusands f turists thanks t its summer festival and amazing Ppes’ Palace, nearby Orange is usually unnticed. Easier t travel arund, with far fewer visitrs, the city’s key attractin is the Rman Theater, which was built in the first century AD.
Antwerp, Belgium
The UNESCO-prtected Cathedral f Our Lady ccupies the Antwerp skyline, but there’s s much mre t this Belgian city than its mst famus building.
There’s als the Red Star Line Museum, lcated n Antwerp’ ld dcks, which shws the city’s past as a center fr migratin(移民)t the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

My daughter has a new app n her phne that can clear up and imprve ld phts. She used it t make cpies f pictures frm my ld pht albums, brighten them up, and email them back t me. There were pictures f Mm, Dad, Grandma, my brthers, me and my first dg Duke. Lking at them brught back s many lving, happy memries. I even put ne n my laptp cmputer as my new screensaver.
It is a picture f me sitting in my favrite chair, acrss frm the wdstve, next t a bkcase full f ld bks. I am wearing my special Snpy sweatshirt. There is a big smile n my face and a jyful shine in my eyes. It was hw I spent a lt f my winter afternns as a by, reading an ld bk.
It is strange t that 50 years later that by still lives inside f me. I still lve cmfrtable chairs, warm stves, ld bks, Snpy, hugging dgs, and reading bks n cld winter days. Yet, when I lk in the mirrr nw all I see is thinning, graying hair, age spts, and lts f wrinkles.
Once in a while I lk int my eyes in the mirrr. They are hiding behind glasses nw. They are set a little deeper in my eyes. The inncence (天真) in them has been replaced with wisdm. But they still have that same jyful shine.
Lking at the little by smiling at me frm the cmputer screen and that 56-year-ld man lking back at me in the mirrr can be a bit cnfusing at times. They seem s different. Still, they are bth me.

Everything, n matter hw great it is, will always have its prblems. If yu ever find yurself in an argument (争论) abut renewable (可再生的) energy with smene wh needs t receive mre educatin, d yur part fr the envirnment by giving the fllwing facts.
Argument ne: renewable energy is expensive. This argument is nly a surface truth. Fr a large huse r small business, t start using renewable energy can be expensive at first. There’s a lt f equipment (设备) t buy. Hwever, in the fllwing 10 r 20 years, yu’ll never see anther pwer bill again. If yu make lts f energy, yu might even be able t sell it back t the pwer cmpany.
Argument tw: renewable energy takes up a lt f space. If yu have a small yard, peple might have tld yu that yu’ll never be able t fit in slar energy equipment there. Even if yu can’t, lk at land fr sale clse t yur place. If yur neighbrs are interested in ging green, yu might be able t g in tgether t buy a piece f land and build a large slar farm yu can share. Many huses can benefit frm ne slar farm. Nt everyne needs a big yard.
Argument three: renewable energy isn’t necessary. Renewable energy allws us t pwer ur lives withut using up anything. We dn’t need t d much—we can just make receptacles (容器) fr the free, renewable energy that already surrunds us. When yu think abut it, it’s almst like wasting energy if we dn’t cllect it.
Argument fur: renewable energy isn’t s efficient (效率高的). A UK based study n renewable energy actually fund that it was a lt mre efficient than traditinal energy surces. Since it prduces almst n waste heat, while mst ther energy surces can prduce mre than half f their prductin in waste heat, it’s safe t say that using the energy we already have in ur daily life can be mre than twice as efficient.
28. Why did the authr write the text?
A. T develp arguments against renewable energy.
B. T explain why renewable energy shuld be used.
C. T teach peple t make full use f renewable energy.
D. T shw the imprtance f prtecting the envirnment.
29. What’s the weak pint f using renewable energy?
A. It’s mstly fr small businesses.
B. It can be used fr 20 years at mst.
C. It takes up lts f mney at the beginning.
D. It’s smetimes nt enugh fr daily use.
30. What des the authr suggest when yur yard is t small?
A. Make yur slar farm a smaller size.
B. Raise mney with ther peple t buy land.
C. Mve yur family t a place with a bigger yard.
D. Put the slar energy equipment in yur neighbr’s yard.
31. In what way is renewable energy efficient?
A. Almst all f its prductin is usable.
B. It can prduce heat in a very shrt time.
C. It prduces mre pwer than pwer cmpanies.
D. Its waste heat is a bit less than traditinal energy’s.
D
Friendships can be difficult—because ften peple aren’t as hnest and pen as they shuld be. Smetimes, peple end up getting hurt.
Mst prblems with friendships cme up because peple are just t selfish t care abut the things that their friends need. They care abut their wn needs much mre, which makes it hard fr friendships t wrk. Hwever, being selfish is part f human nature. A persn is put tgether in rder t take care f himself and his wn needs, nt necessarily thse needs f ther peple. Even thugh being selfish is smething that all humans are brn with, it is smething that everyne shuld guard against.
The best thing t remember when yu are a friend t anyne is that yu need t treat yur friend the same way as yu’d like t be treated. This is wnderful advice fr a friendship, because it is really the nly way t make sure that yu are giving yur friend everything yu wuld want t be given in a friendship. Whenever yu have a questin abut hw yu shuld treat a friend, it is easy t find an answer simply by asking yurself what yu wuld like yur friend t d fr yu, if he r she is in yur shes.
Even if yu’re always thinking abut hw yu’d like t be treated, and yur friends are t, there are issues that cme up frm time t time in each friendship, and it is imprtant t understand hw t deal with these issues s that yu can build strnger and healthier friendships. Issues like friends getting byfriends r girlfriends and nt spending enugh time with their friends, r even friends finding new friends and leaving ld friends behind are issues that will prbably cme up with ne r mre f yur friendships. It is imprtant t knw hw t deal with these issues s that yu can keep yur friends and make new nes. N ne wants t have a brken friendship.
32. This passage mainly deals with ________.
A. the imprtance f friendshipsB. the advantages f friendships
C. the prblems with friendshipsD. the meaning f friendships
33. Accrding t the passage, the first and mst imprtant thing t be ther peple’s friend is ________.
A. t treat yur friends as fairly as pssible
B. t give yur friends whatever yu have
C. nt t hurt yur friends’ feelings
D. nt t think f yur wn needs any mre
34. What des the underlined phrase mean in paragraph three?
A. if he r she likes yur shesB. if he r she is in yur huse
C. if he r she is in yur situatinD. if he r she cares fr yu
