She also put on 25 pounds. The restaurants are all located around the lake and are very easy to find. If you would like to read what people say, or leave your own comment, please visit our website (). Also, online you can see the full-length of reviews for the following restaurants.Daves on-the- Lake(Italian)A stones throw from the lake, this newly opened Italian restaurant has all any restaurants could offer, from delicious meatballs to tempting garlic bread and prize-winning wine.Espudo Cornellos(Mexican)This redecorated and well designed Mexican restaurant is my personal favorite.

The chef has lived and worked for restaurants in the Eldora region in Mexico for 20 years before opening his -own restaurant here. Seating is outdoor, where you can contemplate the night views and breathe the fresh air coming from the lake as you dine. This is something that is not to be found anywhere else close to the lake. The best of salsa music plays while you eat.Bull Dogs (English Fish and Chips)This restaurant is one of the successful chains now operating in the country. Several types of fish are available for you as well as a good selection of salads for healthier choice. Hand cut chips made from local potatoes make it even more appealing.

The underlined word contemplate In Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .A. remember B. recognize C. enjoy D. drawBLet me explain a bit by telling you where the challenge came from. I have many things in common with my dad, like music taste and sense of humour, but sadly reading isnt one of them. I can happily spend a whole day curled up with a book but my dad cant read a book for longer than about 5 minutes. He reads emails, websites and documents for work, but not books. I think that sitting down to read for just 15 minutes a day is a good, way to relax. Giving yourself a goal or a challenge is a good way to change a habit or achieve something, so why not try to create a new habit of reading?I know lots of people would rather relax on their computers or in front of the TV. Everyone is different and has their own interests, but I think there are lots of benefits from reading, which screen-based activities (games, films, TV) dont have.One thing I personally love about reading, is being transported to another world. I often forget the time or thing that are going on around me! Reading is a great way to switch off before you go to bed, so you can truly relax. I know you can be transported to a different world in a film or a TV show, but I think books do it better. While watching a film, I often talk to my flatmates, send texts, or paint my nails. A book, on the other hand commands your full attention.Reading gives you the chance to get to know hundreds of new people! It also teaches you to see things from other peoples point of view, and understand other peoples decisions or opinions, With a book, you can hear everything a character is thinking or feelingyou really can be inside someone elses head!So give it a go! Take 15 minutes when youre waking up, going to bed, eating lunch, or having a coffee. If you read a lot, why not try 15 minutes of an English book, or pass the challenge on to someone else? Good luck, and happy reading.56. What can we learn about the authors father from Paragraph I?A. He is kind-hearted. B. He lacks humour.C. He has a gift for singing. D. He doesnt like reading.57.

The gap between my father and meCTrees often grow to appear strong, which might make it hard to believe that theyre easily harmed on the Inside. But that is the case, according to a worldwide survey of more than 200 types of trees. Researchers studied the inner part of the trees and found that most dont have a built-in safety net吐hat would allow them to survive a serious drought.I think this is a really big deal. ecologist David Breshears said. He says it and other studies keep pointing to: Whoa, our forests are really fragile.Studies like this one are particularly worrying about climate change. The average temperature of the planet is rising. Scientists predict that warming will cause changes in rainfall patterns. That could lead to longer, more severe droughts in many regions around the world. As a result, the trees that now grow there could face a serious threat.When drought strikes, trees begin to fail in the xylem(木质部), special tissue made of many tiny, strawlike tubes. This tissue makes it possible for a tree to draw water from the ground and deliver it to the leaves. During times of drought, tiny air bubbles can develop in the tubes. Too many bubbles block the flow of waterand lead to certain death for the tree.Brendan Choat, a plant physiologist, worked on the new study along with 23 other researchers. All together the scientists studied 226 tree species in 81 different sites around the world. Choat said that this study is the first to look at all forest types and find so many species living on the edge. Of the 226 different types of trees Choat and his colleagues studied, 70 percent lived close to the point where a serious drought would stop water transport. Trees that flower, such as maples and oaks, were more vulnerable than conifers (针叶树), which, including pines and firs have evergreen, needlelike leaves.Plant ecologist Bettina Engelbrecht said that in the interest of conservation, scientists cant just concentrate on a few species. We have to worry about them all.61. The first paragraph implies that trees .A. can live through a drought.B. have the ability to protect themselvesC. are worth a great deal of moneyD. are weak as a matter of fact62. What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The drought. B. The tube. C. The water D. The xylem.63. What does Choat think of the study?A One-sided. B. Fruitless. C. Time-consuming. D. Meaningful.64. According to Bettina, what should scientists do?A. Care about the trees that flower.B. Pay attention to all species of trees.C. Find out why pines and firs are strong.D. Study the trees living on the edge of death.65. What can be the best title of the text?A. Serious drought is a threat to most treesB. Trees face death due to lack of protectionC. Global warming reduces the number of treesD. Trees reflect the change of the global climateDLike a tired marriage, the relationship between libraries and publishers has long been dull. E-books, however, are causing heartache. Libraries know they need digital wares, but many publishers are too cautious about piracy(盗版)and lost sales to co-operate. Among the big six, only Random House and Harper Collins license e-books with most libraries.Publishers are wise to be nervous. Owners of E-readers are exactly the customers they need: book-lovers with money. If these people switch to borrowing c-books instead of buying them, what then? Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient. Unlike printed hooks, which must be checked out and returned to a physical library miles from where you live, book files can be downloaded at home. The tiles disappear from the device when they are due.E-lending is not simple, however. There are lots of different and often incompatible(不兼容的)e-book formats, devices and licenses. Most libraries use a company called OverDrive, which secures rights from publishers and provides E-books and audio files in every format. Yet publishers and libraries are worried by OverDrives global market dominance, as the company can control fees and conditions. Publishers were annoyed when OverDrive cooperated with Amazon, the worlds biggest online bookseller, last year. Owners of Amazons Kindle E-reader who want to borrow E-books from libraries are now redirected to Amazons website, where they must use their Amazon accounts to secure a loan.According to Pew, an opinion researcher, library users are perfect for market for Amazon. Late last year Amazon Introduced its Kindle Owners Lending Library, which lets its best customers borrow free one of thousands of popular books each month.Library supporters argue that book borrowers are also book buyers and that libraries are vital spaces for readers to discover new work. Many were cheered by a recent Pew survey, which found that more than half of Americans with library-cards say they prefer to buy their e-books.66. It can
