When you are traveling in Thailand, which means of transport is the best choice?

You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand. It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north. The most popular bikes are the little 125 cc Honda Dream which you can get for about 150 baht (銖) a day or as little as 3,000 baht per month, making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.

Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi. When you are in cities in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, always remember to get a taxi that is going on the roads. Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the milometer (計程表). They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!

The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good, so renting cars is another way to get around. The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable (合理的) price. It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West. Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand, more expensive than American prices, but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe. In the past, Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in — signs were generally in Thai only, making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around. But now, the situation is improved. In a lot of places, even the farthest corners of the country, street signs are in both Thai and English.

1.To a foreigner, the cheapest way to get around Thailand is renting a ________.

A. car B. taxi C. bike D. motorbike

2.What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?

A. To take a taxi driving on the road.

B. To take a taxi parked outside hotels.

C. To make sure there is a meter in it.

D. To bargain with the driver over the price.

3.It was difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past because ________.

A. there were too many traffic jams on the roads

B. there were no signs showing directions

C. the signs were written only in their own language

D. the quality of the roads was not good

The Wake-up Call

“What’s that?” my ten-year-old daughter, Genie, asked. She’d caught me laughing at a piece of mail I’d just opened. “Wake-up service; $2.50 per call.” At the bottom was a phone number and a drawing of a rotary phone, like the one my great-aunt Sara had owned 40 years ago.

“Is that mail funny?” Genie asked.

“Not really,” I admitted. “It’s just outdated.”

“What’s a wake-up call？” She frowned. I explained how, before smart-phones, people sometimes paid someone to wake them with a call.

“Who sent this flyer?” she pressed.

“Probably someone older,” I said, “and could use some money.”

Her eyes lit up. “Can we order a wake-up?” she asked.

“We don’t need it.” I picked it up and headed for the recycling bin.

“Wait!” she shrieked.

“I feel sorry for the wake-up man, if he needs some money,” she said, tearing up. “Can’t we order?”

I looked at the flyer with its drawing of a rotary phone. I remembered, again, my great-aunt Sara and her rotary phone. As a kid, I’d visited her over Labor Day, when Jerry Lewis would host his charity event for the disabled kids. Aunt Sara would squeeze my hand, then reach for the rotary phone, dialing the number on the screen. Holding the receiver between us, we’d announce to the operator, “We’d like to help those kids.”

Now here was my own child, showing the same big heart I’d once been encouraged to have, and how could I ignore her? I Googled the flyer’s return address. The address belonged to a man called Raymond. He was in his mid-60s. We called him and, holding the receiver between us, the way Aunt Sara and I used to, told him we needed his services. “Great!” Raymond said in a shaky but friendly voice, clearly amazed at receiving an order from a child. When I asked how to pay the $2.50, he answered, “Mail a check.”

Genie was happy all week. Friday night, I put the phone by her pillow so she could answer Raymond’s call. She bounded to my bedroom to tell me all about how he’d wished her a good morning and told her to have a great day, which she did.

Technology has made some things outdated. But there are still other things the world will always require. In the rush and hustle of my daily life, I’d temporarily forgotten that. I guess I just needed a wake-up call.

1.The author laughed at the mail because ________.

A. it was printed roughly

B. the drawing in it was poor

C. the wake-up call cost too much

D. the service it offered was outdated

2.What did the author want to do with the flyer at first?

A. Throw it away.

B. Let Genie read it.

C. Find out who sent it.

D. Keep it away from Genie.

3.What made the author finally decide to order a wake-up call?

A. Her own childhood experience.

B. The less fortunate wake-up man.

C. Genie’s curiosity about the service.

D. The information she found on Google.

4.What might “other things” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Bravery and curiosity.

B. Confidence and patience.

C. Honesty and humor.

D. Generosity and kindness.

It’s natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave . 1. But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages ? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body ?

Scientists have recently tackled these questions . They found that when a person is looking at your face , she might not believe what she sees if your body language doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows . 2. Previously , they had found that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words that are spoken . For example , most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice , “ I’m so excited . ”

When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language , most scientists suspected that the face was more important . To test if this was true , psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies (with faces blurred out（模糊的）) that showed anger or fear . 3. An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips . A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth . 4. A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square , as if ready to defend .

These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people . Even when people pay attention to the face , body language subtly influences which emotion they read . 5. If you want to be understood , it helps to avoid sending mixed messages .

A. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists .

B. So , your body language is important for telling people how you feel .

C. Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people .

D. An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle , as if ready to fight .

E. Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds .

F. When you do this , your face and body work together to show your friends that you’re happy to see them .

G. They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies .

Many of us mistakenly believe that it’s wrong to think we have many good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self-criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed(有缺點的)?

If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesn’t like you might be fearful, shallow, busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.

Don’t take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else.

You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who don’t mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people looking for loyalty, fun, sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior because you don’t have much money or you don’t drive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reason that you don’t have many friends in your life. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person.

The point is that you can focus on anything and believe it’s the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.

1.According to the author, plays an important role in making friends.

A.admitting your shortcomings B.self-criticism

C.modesty D.confidence

2.If you are not liked by a person, .

A.you should find the reason in yourself

B.you’d better talk with the person face to face

C.you may not be the one to be blamed

D.you and that person misunderstand each other

3.We can learn from the third paragraph that .

A.your good qualities may turn out to be your flaws

B.your weaknesses may also be your strengths in some way

C.your negative qualities cause a person to reject you

D.you’ll have few friends if your flaws are more than your good qualities

4.Which of the following is true according to the author?

A.It is important to lose weight.

B.It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends.

C.Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance.

D.If you are not beautiful enough, try to improve your physical beauty.
