Brisbane is a river city, although close to the coast, with the Brisbane River running through it. It is surrounded by hills and full of bridges. It is also very easy to get to a number of attractions such as the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast from Brisbane.

Brisbane has a number of theatres including the Lyric Theatre, Cremorne Theatre and the Playhouse Theatre which are part of the Queensland Performing Arts Centre in South Bank.

The area of South Bank is popular with visitors and locals especially for its relaxed parkland and manmade beach area which is popular with all ages. During the evening this area is very popular for romantic walks and the many shows.

Another place that is very popular with visitors especially young people is the suburb(郊區(qū)) of Fortitude Valley. It is home to the amazing Chinatown, great restaurants, popular nightclubs and bars and so on. It's not a suburb for those who like peace and quiet.

Brisbane is a great place to cycle, with wonderful cycle tracks(自行車道) near and along the river. If you get tired along the way, you can always get on a bus or the City Cat (central area transport service). You can take a bus with your bike. But you'd better avoid the time of day when most people are traveling to or from work, because you won't be allowed on with a bike at that time.

Brisbane offers plenty of things to do with activities and tours such as hot air ballooning, rock climbing, and even climbing the Brisbane Story Bridge. For more information about Brisbane tours, please click here.

We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been cut down by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our 【1】, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid 【2】 problems in the future.

Making ethical (倫理的)decisions is a(n) 【3】 part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can’t see the risks we’re taking, we can’t make responsible choices. To 【4】 risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn’t know the rules about plagiarism (剽竊) may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as 【5】. But the fact that such a violation is “unintentional” does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a 【6】.

Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themselves about the risks they’re taking by using excuses: “Everyone else does it,” “I’m not hurting anyone,” or “I really need this grade.” Excuses can get very complex: “I know I’m looking at another’s exam, even though I’m supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that’s not 【7】 because I’m just checking my answers, not copying.” We must be honest about our actions, and 【8】 excuses. If we fool ourselves into 【9】 we’re not doing anything wrong, we can’t see the real choice we’re making--and that leads to bad decisions.

To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. Would you feel proud or 【10】 of your actions? If you’d rather hide your actions, that’s a good indication that you’re taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself.

I would have my important examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer, in fact I dared not.

As soon as the clock struck twelve, I suddenly heard and couldn’t help crying “Oh, dear! Many more books to read before I can go to bed!” We students are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He didn’t have to work so hard when he was a boy.

When the clock struck one, I felt I was hopeless now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them a few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

【1】When the author was going over his lessons, all the others in the house were__.

A.asleepB.outside

C.working in bedD.quietly laughing at him

【2】The underlined word “wretched” means _______.

A.energeticB.disappointed

C.unhappyD.hopeful

【3】The best title for the passage would be ___.

A.The night before the examinationB.Staying up all night

C.A lazy studentD.Going over my lessons

Geothermal energy does not depend on the world’s economic and political situation as strongly as fossil fuels do. Besides, extracting（提煉）fossil fuels adds to the price of energy produced from them. Therefore, geothermal energy is much cheaper than traditional ones, saving up to 80% of the costs over fossil fuels.

Being a renewable resource, geothermal energy produces less waste and pollution than traditional energy sources. In geothermal systems, carbon dioxide makes up about 10% of air produced. Overall, in order to produce the electricity that can be used for one hour, the geothermal systems produce 0.1 pound of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases. For a comparison, a power plant producing from gas produces up to 2 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and those power plants that work on coal（煤）produce an astonishing 3.6 pounds of greenhouse gases.

Low costs is another reason why using geothermal power plants should be the first choice for many countries. Geothermal heat systems require 25% to 50% less energy for work compared with the traditional systems for heating or cooling. Besides, geothermal equipment is less big: due to the very nature of geothermal energy, geothermal power plants have only a few moving parts, all of which can be easily sheltered inside a relatively small building. What’s more, the life span of geothermal equipment is rather long. All these make geothermal power stations easy to build and keep.

【1】Fossil fuels are more expensive than geothermal energy partly because _______.

A. it is free to use geothermal energy

B. the production of fossil fuels costs a lot

C. fossil fuels are nearly used up

D. geothermal energy doesn’t depend on political situation

【2】According to Paragraph 3, what can be concluded from the comparison?

A. Geothermal energy is environmentally friendly.

B. Gas and coal are often used to produce electricity.

C. Coal is much more efficient than gas.

D. The geothermal systems don’t produce harmful gases.

【3】Geothermal equipment is usually not as big as that of traditional energy because of______.

A. the life span of geothermal equipment

B. geothermal power plants

C. the nature of geothermal energy

D. the small buildings

【4】What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Many countries have benefited from geothermal energy.

B. Geothermal energy is well accepted.

C. Fossil fuels are being run out of.

D. Geothermal energy has many advantages.

Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with the delicious foods.

With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don’t have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.

Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast, have a small, low-fat snack. This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods.

Begin with clear soup, fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.

Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.

Choose lean meat. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.

If you have a sweet tooth, try mints and fruit. They don’t have fat content as cream and chocolate.

Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess calories.
