There are many unusual hotels around the world. In Greenland(格陵蘭島), there is a hotel made of ice, open between December and April every year. In Turkey(土耳其), there is a cave(巖洞) hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia(玻利維亞), there is a hotel named the Salt Palace Hotel.
Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts(荒漠).
The larger of the two deserts is called Uyuni salt desert. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.
In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made of salt: the walls, the roof(屋頂), the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the hotel’s bar.
The sun makes the walls and roof warm during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms are warm. The hotel has twelve rooms. A single room(單人間) costs＄40 a night, and a double room(雙人間) costs＄60.
A sign on the hotel’s wall tells guests, “ Please don’t lick（添）the walls.”
小題1: The Salt Palace Hotel is unusual because__________.
A．it has long history.B．the price of the rooms is high.
C．the guests are special.D．it is made of salt.
小題2:Which sentence about the area around the Salt Palace Hotel is NOT true?
A．It was a lake many years ago.
B．It is white during the day.
C．There are several roads to the hotel.
D．There are only two small lakes now.
小題3: Juan Quesada got the salt from ___________to build the hotel.
A．the salt deserts B．GreenlandC．TurkeyD．the small lake
小題4:__________ keeps the rooms warm at night?
A．Heat from the wallsB．The desert air

小題5:Which of the following is true?
A．You can live in the ice hotel in Greenland in October.
B．You can watch TV in the cave hotel.
C．The salt hotel is in Turkey.
D．If you and your friend want to live in the Salt Hotel, you should pay＄40 a night together.

Singapore’s public transport system (公共交通系統(tǒng)) is one of the best in the world, so you should have no problem finding your way around like a local. There are three main forms of public transport here that you would find in any other big city--trains, buses and taxis.

TRAINS
Trains run from 6 a.m. to midnight. Single trip tickets start at 80 cents. If you buy an EZ-Link card for $15, you can take the trains and buses as you like. If you need more information, just call Transit Link at 18007674333.
BUSES
There are several bus services in Singapore and fares（車費）start at 80 cents. Be sure to always ask the driver the cost of your ticket as he cannot give you changes. If you need help, just call Transit Link at 18007674333.


TAXIS
There are three main taxi companies--City Cab（65522222），Comfort（65521111）and Tibs（65528888）.Booking can also be made easily by calling the number above.

Driving in Singapore is a pleasure and if you like to travel as you like, renting a car is a good choice. Renting takes away the trouble of getting to places around Singapore.

Ever since I was a little child, my parents have told me to be honest because it is the right thing to do. As I got older, I realized something very important. If just once you are deceitful and tell a lie, it will greatly change people’s opinions about you and their way of acting toward you. When you tell a lie, you lose that person’s trust forever or have to work your whole life to get it back.
It is my personal goal to achieve great things in life and honesty(誠實) will sure help me get there. For me right now losing somebody’s trust would be a truly terrible thing. My parents would be stricter on the things they let me do and the places that they used to let me go to. My friends would never again tell me a secret or believe many things I told them. Whatever you do for a living or wherever you live, honesty is something very important.
Honesty gets you much higher in life while telling a lie can make you get into more problems. I can already tell that the great people I have met so far are all honest people.
I hope that I’ll never fall into a situation where I’ll lie. Honesty is just as important to me as my family. Already, I know it is something that will improve my future and my relationship with all people. It is something about myself that I hope never to lose no matter what happens. Honesty will help me no matter whether I’m at school, home or just hanging out with friends. It is something that I hope my children will also have and value.
小題1:The underlined word “deceitful” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A．strangeB．luckyC．sadD．dishonest
小題2:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Being honest is very important and helpful.
B．The writer was taught to be honest when he was young.
C．The writer thinks it doesn’t matter if he tells a lie.
D．To win others’ trust is not easy.
小題3:What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?
A．Ways to be honest.
B．Honesty is very important for us to achieve our goals.
C．True friendship is based on(以…為基礎(chǔ)) others’ trust.
D．Honesty can make us live a happy life.
小題4:How is the text mainly developed?
A. By making comparisons.(作比較)       B. By showing facts.
B．By explaining reasons.               D. By giving examples.

One day, Mr Read and his son Robert were going out for a walk. He put on a pair of shoes together with a pair of different socks, one white and one yellow. As he came out of his house, his son noticed the colors of his father’s socks and said, “You’ve put on two different socks, Dad.” When he heard this, he looked at his socks and found that his son was right. He was happy and said to himself, “What a clever son I have got!” Then he asked his son to go back to the house to get another pair of socks for him. When the son went back to his house, all he could find was one white sock and one yellow sock. Robert then took the socks to his father and said, “It’s no use changing. These socks at home are also different, one yellow and one white.” Mr Read agreed with his son and they went out for a walk.
