If you have the opportunity to visit some places in New Zealand then the list below is our recommendation.
Fiordland National Park
This park is part of the South Westland World Heritage area and is New Zealand’s largest national park and one of the largest in the world. The scenery in Fiordland is nothing short of extremely beautiful, with steep mountains, wild waterfalls, and abundant rain forests. Being able to come back and forth in its deep bay attracts most of the visitors.
The area has some of the world’s great walks including the world famous Milford Track, which was described as the finest walk in the world in the early twentieth century.
Abel Tasman National Park
Abel Tasman may be New Zealand’s smallest national park, but the attractions are huge. Located in one of New Zealand’s sunniest spots, the area also has the best beaches in the country.
The popular Abel Tasman Walk is a great way to see this park. It takes 3-5 days to complete. Sea Taxis are also available and can drop you off at any number of beaches within the park.
Rotorua
Accessible from New Zealand’s biggest city, Auckland, Rotorua is famous for its volcanic activities. Rotorua is also famous for its plentiful lakes which are great for swimming and fishing. The surrounding area contains plenty of native bushes and some famous walks.
Rotorua is also the best area in the country to experience and learn about Maori Culture.
Mt Cook National Park
Mt Cook as well as the surrounding area is an alpine（高山的）park within the World Heritage listed in South Westland. The biggest peaks in all of Australasia are here. The park doesn’t contain many trees or plants due to the altitude. Walks range from a two hour walk to difficult tracks suitable for experienced mountaineers only.
A helicopter or plane ride gives visitors excellent views of the mountains with the option of landing at the top of Tasman Glacier, a true permanent snow covered alpine environment.

As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise.The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursed further.Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body's special needs. Both types have simply been called “well”．In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively attempting to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body's condition. Most importantly, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap（缺陷）may be “well”， in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations.“Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can struggle for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial influence on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.
（ ）25. Today’s medical care is placing more stress on ________．
A. keeping people in a healthy physical condition
B. monitoring patients’ body functions
C. removing people’s bad living habits
D. ensuring people’s psychological wellbeing
（ ）26. According to the passage, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people________．
A. to best satisfy their body’s special needs
B. to strive to maintain the best possible health
C. to meet the strictest standards of bodily health
D. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure
（ ）27. According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be considered
healthy?
A. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.
B. People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.
C. People who try to be as healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations.
D. People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.

After finishing my teaching for a school year, I thought that I should go back to Montreal,Quebec, my hometown for a visit. My main goal was to relax in preparation for the challenges of my retirement in the coming year.
Through my stay in Montreal, I met lots of Chinese who are struggling to succeed and then lead a better life in Canada.
Some travelled thousands of miles to get knowledge. When I spoke with some of them about the major barrier they had to face after they arrived in Canada, they all talked about the two official languages of Canada. But I was impressed by their ability to express their ideas while switching between English and French.
Almost all of those people said they often felt homesick. They miss their families and friends. Though Montreal has lots of Chinese restaurants, they long for a home-cooked meal.
I met some tourists who were trying to realize their childhood dreams of experiencing the life in a developed country. When I asked them if Montreal had lived up to their expectations, they hesitated. They said that reality never agrees with fantasies. However, they were glad to have the opportunity to visit Montreal and didn’t regret taking the trip.
Not all the Chinese people I met were happy. I once met a young lady who met with a gentleman through the Internet. However, to her disappointment, he disappeared after he promised to marry her in Montreal.
I was served by another Chinese person who could not handle the challenges of studying in an English environment and ended up working in a restaurant with minimum pay.
Exploring different parts of the world, without any doubt, is an enriching experience. However,one should be realistic when it comes to leaving his hometown to set up a new life in a foreign country. One should take the time to examine the advantages and the shortcomings of the venture before they decide to chase an uncertain dream of achieving success or leading a better life.
（ ）28. The writer went to her hometown to .
A. meet her old friends
B. study a new language
C. go on with her teaching
D. prepare for her retirement life

A. overseas Chinese are good at communication in Canada
B. the trip to Montreal is a good chance for people to study
C. overseas Chinese feel disappointed at their life in Canada
D. people should think carefully before chasing the dreams abroad
（ ）31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Improving Life Skills in Canada
B. Exploring Different Parts of Canada
C. Struggling for a Better Life in Canada
D. Going to Canada—Your Ideal Destination

We Chinese are not big huggers. A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to convey our friendship or affection to one another. So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug，some of us feel awkward．Many questions go through our head．Where should I put my arms? What distance should I maintain? Should our chests touch?
But it isn’t just people from cultures that are conservative in expressing physical contact who find hugging confusing. Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress in people who value their personal space．
In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal, US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a“medium touch”culture，Americans do seem to be hugging more．From politicians to celebrities，hugs are given to friends，strangers and enemies alike，whether they are willing or not；and the public has been quick to pick up the practice．
Public figures know that nothing expresses likeability（亲和力） like a good hug．US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England．Pop superstar Lady Gaga is also a hug enthusiast，telling her fans that“I will always，always，try my very best to wrap my arms around you when I meet you．”
But not all are grateful to be hugged，even by the most influential and famous．To them，any hug is offensive if it’s not sincere. Amanda Hess，writing for US magazine Slate, says public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meet．For them，a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship，compassion or affection．It’s all part of a show．
（ ）32. Chinese people don’t enjoy hugs because ．
A. they are conservative in physical touch
B. they don’t know how to hug correctly
C. they think a handshake is the best way to convey friendship
D. they feel awkward to communicate with westerners
（ ）33. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase“pick up the practice”?

C. Give hugs to enemies． D. Resist physical touch．
（ ）34. Public figures like giving hugs to ．
A. obtain public support B. show sincere friendship
C. express enthusiasm D. win fellowship or affection
（ ）35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. People are grateful to hugs of any kind．
B. A hug is a gesture of frie
