The Most Wonderful Islands
The Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world and are under construction in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates on which major commercial and residential infrastructure will be constructed. They are being developed as tourist, leisure, and residential resorts, and will increase the coastline of the country by 120 kilometers.
 After four years of planning and careful consideration of the environmental issues, construction started in 2001. Dutch engineers with experience of reclaiming land from the sea were employed in the building of the first two islands. The site for all three islands is an area of the sea where the water is not very deep. Sand is
taken from the seabed and sprayed into the construction site. Although the shallow water facilitates this process, the islands are still very exposed to the currents and tidal movements of the sea. Rocks are used to hold the sand in place resulting in a large crescent( 月状的 )structure. This acts as a breakwater and protects the islands from the sea.
 The first two islands are in the shape of date palm trees and consist of a trunk and 17 fronds, or leaves,coming off the trunk. The first island, named Palm Jumeirah, has three five-star hotels in the trunk, and luxury homes in the leaves. It is astonishing that when these homes went on sale in 2004, they were all sold within
three days.
 The second palm Jebel Ali, was started in 2002 and is designed to be an entertainment centre. Six marinas( 小游艇,船坞 ) are planned, with a water theme park, and home built on stilts( 桩柱) in the water.
 The Palm Deira is planned to be the largest of the three islands, with a length of 14 km and a width of 8.5 km, an area larger than the city of Paris. It will consist of residential properties, marinas, shopping malls, sports facilities, and clubs. These will be open to both residents and tourists,
 More artificial islands, the World Islands, are now being constructed near the Palm Jumeirah. They consist of 300 private islands grouped into the shape of the continents of the world and will be used for estates, private homes, community islands, and resorts.
 Unquestionably, these artificial islands are one of the wonders of the modern world. They will also maintain Dubai's status as one of the leading tourist destinations in the region.

A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned


4、London quickly became a flourishing port.

Do You Have a Sense of Humor?
Humor and laughter are good for us. These is increasing evidence that they can heal us physically,mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In fact every system of the body responds to laughter in some positive,healing way. So how can we get more laughter into our lives ?46Psychologist and author, Steve Wilson,has some answers.
 Many people believe that we are born with a sense of humor. They think, "either you've got it, or you don't " Dr. Wilson points out that this is false 47
 The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth 48(After all, when a baby laughs, we don't rush over and say. "That kid has a great sense of humor!" ) A sense of humor is something that you can develop over a lifetime.
 Sometimes people think that they don't have a good sense of humor because they are not good juke tellers.Dr. Wilson reminds us that telling jokes is only one of many ways to express humor.49 Then we will make others laugh, too.
 A person who has a true sense of humor is willing and able to see the funny side of everyday life. One of the best definitions of a sense of.humor is " the ability to see the non-serious element in a situation" . Consider this sign from a story window .Any faulty merchandise will be cheerfully replaced with merchandise of equal
quality. The store manager probably placed the sign in the window to impress customers with the store's excellent service50As Dr, Wilson says, "a good sense of humor means that you don't have to be funny, you just have to see what's funny" .

10、Things to Know about the UK
1 From Buckingham Palace to Oxford,the UK is loaded with wonderful icons (标志)of past eras. But it has also modernized with confidence.It's now better known for vibrant (充满活力的)cities with great nightlife and attraction. Fashions, fine dining, clubbing,shopping—the UK is among the world's best.
2 Most people have strong preconceptions about the British. But if you're one of these people? you'd be wise to abandon those ideas. Visit a nightclub in one of the big cities, a football match,or a good local pub and you might more readily describe the English people as humorous and hospitable.It's certainly true that no other country in the world has more bird-watchers? sports supporters, pet owners and gardeners than the UK.
3 Getting around England is pretty easy. Budget (廉价的)airlines like Easy jet and Rynnair fly domestically. Trains can deliver you very efficiently from one major city to another. Long distance express buses are called coaches. While coaches and buses run on the same route, coaches are more expensive (though quicker) than buses. London's famous black cabs are excellent but expensive.Minicabs are cheaper competitors,with freelance (个体的)drivers. But usually you need to give a call first. London's underground is called the Tube.It's very convenient and can get you to almost any part of the city.
4 The UK is not famous for its food.But you still need to know some of the traditional English foods. The most famous must be fish and chips. The fish and chips are deep fried in flour. English breakfast is something you need to try. It is fried bacon, sausages,fried eggs, black pudding,fried tomatoes, fried bread and baked beans,with toast and a pot of tea.Other things like shepherd's pie and Yorkshire pudding are also well-known as a part of English food culture.
5 Pubbing and clubbing are the main forms of English nightlife, especially for the young. Pubbing means going to a pub with friends, having drinks, and chatting. Clubbing is different from pubbing and includes going to a pub, or a place of music,or a bar, or any other places to gather with friends. Clubbing can be found everywhere.Usually there is some kind of dress code for clubbing,such as no jeans, no sportswear, or smart clubwear, while pubbing is much more casual.
