A

Maximize your holiday budget

When it comes to planning a summer getaway, don ’ t leave money matters to the last minute.

I t ’wsise to get the money matters in the bag first.

Travel insurance

Leaving your travel insurance to the last moment is potentially the costliest holiday mistake

you can make. Travel insurance doesn ’jutst protect you from illness and theftwhen you ’ re

away —it starts as soon as you buy it. This comes into use if you find you need to cancel your trip

due to things such as illness or the death of a travelling companion. So it makes sense to get this

5

sorted as soon as you make your first booking.

Travel money

The worst place to switch your cash into foreign currency i s at the airport or ferry port. You ’ ll

find the poorest exchange rates here as they know you ’ ve no other options. Buy your money at

least a week before you go. The best rates can usually be found from specialist brokers, which are

often also better than high-street banks. There are exchange-rate comparison websites such as

Travel Money Max, which will let you know what you ’ ll get at the different locations.

A budget

It might not be the most fun thing to think about, but it ’ s arguably thheemm o s t important of t

all. Work out how much you can afford to spend when you ’ re away to avoid any nasty surprises

when you get home. It ’ s helpful to have a daily budget that you adjust up and down if you spend

more or less.

56. If you buy travel insurance, you will be compensated ______.

A. when you cancel your trip casually

B. when a tourist guide dies on the way

C. when you are ill before starting a trip

D. when your money is stolen during the trip

57. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. It makes sense to work out a daily budget in advance.

B. You ’ll know different locations at Travel Money Max.

C. It costs the least to buy your money in high-street banks.

D. You will experience unpleasant surprises after your trip.

B

New study suggests angler education can benefit sharks

A new study finds fisher education can help protect vulnerable ( 易受 攻击的 )shark

populations. The research, led by University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and

Atmospheric Science scientists, showed that recreational anglers ( 钓鱼者 ) were more supportive

of shark management and conservation if they had prior knowledge of shark conservation. “

recreational fishing community has a long history of supporting marine conservation efforts, so

there is great value in trying to understand which factors affect their behavior and decision making,

especially for threatened species such as sharks, s”a　id Austin Gallagher, UM adjunct assistant

professor and lead author of the study.

The researchers interviewed 158 recreational anglers in South Florida about their attitudes

towards shark conservation. They found that many catch-and-release anglers recognized that

sharks can suffer from post-release mortality ( 死 亡 ) but it is still an under-appreciated

consequence, particularly for species that are born sensitive, such as hammerheads ( 双髻鲨 ). The

data also revealed that many recreational anglers are supportive of marine protected areas for

threatened shark species, although climate change is a larger perceived threat to sharks than

recreational fishing.

“ Anglers generally care about shark conservation, but are unaware of some potential threats

from recreational fishing and how they can best modify their angling techniques to improve

survivorship of released sharks, ” s-aaiudt hco r Neil Hammerschlag, research assistant professor

6

at the UM Rosenstiel School and UM Abess Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy.

According to the authors, the findings suggest a need for increased education and outreach on

the impacts of catch-and-release angling on sharks to improve survival rates and conservation of

threatened sharks.

“ Our study identifies important disconnects between existing scientific evidence on the

impacts of recreational fishing on certain shark species and existing conservation beliefs among

anglers, s”aid　Gallagher. “ Thisis a good starting point for new conversations on sustainability

within the fishing community. ”

58. According to the passage, we can make anglers play a role in protecting sharks by ______.

A. managing them quite differently

B. providing other recreational activities

C. equipping them with necessary information

D. helping them to make much better decisions

59. More released sharks could have survived ______.

A. if they were sensitive species

B. if they had been angled scientifically

C. if the climate hadn ’ t changed so much

D. if they stayed out of protected areas

60. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Recreational fishing has little effect on protecting sharks.

B. Many recreational anglers are actually for marine conservation.

C. The fishing community will surely gain sustainable development.

D. The fishing community are willing to give up angling sharks.

Given that motivation is so central to our lives, what do we truly understand about how it

operates and about its role in our lives? The assumption is that it ’ s driven by a positive, extern

reward. Do this, get that. But the story is much more complex.

One of the most striking aspects of motivation is that it often drives us to achievements that

are difficult, challenging and even painful. You may think that you would be happy to spend all

your time sitting on a white-sand beach drinking and that as long as you get to fill your days this

way, you would be happy forever. But while a few days of enjoyment might be fun from time to

time, I can ’ t imagine that you would bseatisfied by spending your days, weeks, months, years and

even your life this way.

Research that examines the differences between meaning and happiness finds that the things

that give us a sense of meaning don ’ t necessarily make us happy. Moreover, people who report

having meaningful lives are often more interested in doing things for others, while those who

focus mostly on doing things for themselves report being only superficially ( 表面的 ) happy. The

essential quality of “ meaning h”a　s to do with having a sense of being involved in something

bigger than the self.

We all know people obtain a great sense of meaning even in the most unpleasant of

circumstances . Many volunteers spend portions of their lives working indangerous, war-torn areas

trying to keep disease and death from innocent civilians or teaching orphans to read. Their pain is

real; their sense of doing something truly meaningful is substantial ( 丰富的 ). They show how our

7

deep-rooted desire to believe that our lives have purpose beyond our lifespan drives us to work

extra hard, even to the point of our own personal suffering, in order to gain more meaning.

The point is that these seemingly odd and irrational ( 不合理的 ) motivations get us to do

things that are complex, difficult and unpleasant. But they go beyond helping people in need. They

motivate us in every aspect of our lives — whether in our personal relationships, in our individual

pursuits or in the workplace.

61. According to the author, which of the following about motivation is true?

A. Motivation is simply driven by external rewards.

B. Motivation is largely determined by social responsibilities.

C. Motivation enables us to gain more financial returns.

D. Motivation drives us to struggle for achievements.

62. According to the research, which of thepractices gives us a sense of meaning?

A. Reading a classic novel in the leisure time.

B. Enjoying sunshine and comfort on the beach.

C. Accompanying terminal patients in hospital.

D. Listening to popular music in the sitting room.

63. The example of people ’ s voluntary work in Para. 4 mainly indicates that ______.

A. experiencing personal suffering is a necessary part of our growth

B. voluntary work serves the purpose of adding happiness to our lives

C. it ’ s dou try to help people in need to get out of their sufferings

D. life ’ s greatrewards come from our experience of tough circumstances

64. What can we infer from the passage?

A. People should make sacrifices for social benefits due to their short lifespan.

B. The value and impact of motivation goes beyond our social circle and existence.

C. Helping people in need is the most important goal of a human being nowadays.

D. Superficially happy people usually put others first rather than focus on themselves.

Michael Herr, who has died aged 76, was the author of Dispatches (1977), the best book

about the Vietnamwar. Herr also made vital contributions to two of the best films on the war,

Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket .

It took Herr eight years to write Dispatches , in part because he went home from Saigon with

a bad case of stress disorder. He had gone to Vietnam as a correspondent for Esquire magazine. An

American general asked him whether he was there to write about military fashion, and another

whether he was there to write humour. No, he told them. He wrote little for Esquire, but took

advantage of the US government ’ s decision to allow correspondents extraordinary access to go to

war with the soldiers. He shared their discomforts and their fears, witnessed their death and

recorded their language.

His own language, a stream of consciousness pulsing with energy, but masterfully controlled,

captured the fear and the horror, but also the excitement, of the war in the jungle and paddy fields.

“ Somuch beauty ”h,e recalled, “ andso much pleasure ”He. recorded with a connoisseur ’ s

expertise ( 行家专长 ) such details as the many ways in which soldiers would wish each other good

luck, and the degrees of madness that were considered acceptable.

He identified with the young soldiers and learned in the first few days that you could not

affect neutrality ( 中立 ). “ If you are neutral,you don ,”s’aidthgee. tHite generally did not carry a

8

weapon, though on occasion he did fire at Vietnamese in emergencies. The young soldiers, he said,

“ are my guns ”．

The power of the book, perhaps, comes from Herr ’ s insistence on descr,iboinr gmtohree wa

precisely his own responses to it, rather than protesting ( 抗议 ) against it. It also comes from the

ceaseless accompaniment of two elements, drugs and music —more particularly rock music, and

especially the music of Jimi Hendrix. Herr himself spent drug-fuelled weekends in a flat in Saigon,

staring at an ancient French map of Indochina, and he never caught a helicopter without a Hendrix

record.

He met soldiers with a left pocket full of Dexedrine, the “ upper ” officially administered by

the army to get them into battle, and a right pocket full of “ downers t”o 　get them through it.

Dispatches did not come out until 1977, when the country was beginning to have its mind on other

problems, but it did more, perhaps, than any other book to freeze an image of despair and a sense

of waste about the war, rather as the trench poets of 1914 — 1918 did in Britain.

Herr also made vital contributions to two of the most influential Vietnam films. He wrote

Martin Sheen ’vsoiceover for Francis Ford Coppola ’Aspocalypse Now and later wrote the

screenplay for Stanley Kubrick Full Me’tal sJacket . His work, in the book and the two films, has

been seen as part of the process whereby the US came to see itself and its history
