SeatsRequests for particular seats can be made on most coach breaks (巴士旅游) when booking, but since seats are booked on a first come, first serve basic, early booking is advisable. When bookings are made with us, you will be offered the best seats that are available on the coach at that time.Travel DocumentsWhen you have paid your deposit（订金）, we will send you all the necessary documents, so that you can receive them in good time before the coach break leaving date. Certain documents, for example, air or boat tickets, may have to be reserved and your guide will then give them to you during the break. Special DietsIf you require a special diet, you must inform us at the time of booking with a copy of the diet. This will be told to the hotels on your coach break. The hotels for certain coach breaks are tourist class and they may not have the equipment to deal with special diets. Any extra costs must be paid to the hotel by yourself before leaving the hotel.AccommodationOn any coach break there are only a limited number of single rooms. When a single room is available, it may be subject to an extra charge and this will be shown on the brochure page.EntertainmentSome of our hotels arrange extra entertainment which could include music, dancing, films, etc. The nature and frequency of the entertainment presented is decided by the hotel and therefore not guaranteed and could be withdrawn if there is a lack of demand or insufficient numbers in the hotel.56.

It may be necessary to pay extra for_.A. single roomsB. particular seatsC. entertainmentD. hand luggage58. Where is the passage mostly taken from?A. A fashion magazine.B. A business report.C. A legal document.D. A travel brochure.BA Beautiful MindA mathematician who goes mad is not a subject most directors consider commercially attractive, but then Ron Howard isnt among most directors. Despite an impressive list of credits, A Beautiful Mind is his most successful work to date, combining a psychological drama with a moving love story to produce a film that is as interesting as it is entertaining.The Oscar winning Russell Crowe has put himself in line for further honours with his acting John Nash, the Nobel Prize-winning mathematician troubled by schizophrenia (精神分裂症). A Beautiful Mind pictures Nash as an unusual hero, not just because of his academic achievements but also because of the courage he displays while battling his illness.In 1947, Nash was one of many great young minds at Princeton. “To find a truly original idea is the only way to distinguish myself,” the proud and determined student declared. His exploration of such an idea afforded him little time for the normal socialising. His shyness and straightforward approach brought him few friends.After finally hitting on a revolutionary new idea, Nashs career took off and his reputation was secured. He balanced research work with teaching, which is where he met the bright and beautiful student Alicia (Jennifer Connelly). Things in his life were going well when his talent for code breaking brought him to the attention of the military who employed him during the early stages of the cold war with Russia. However, the stress of his work made Nashs illness develop.Crowes performance is perfect. He and Connelly ignite (make something exciting) the films passionate love story and Connellys wonderful performance makes the audience moved by Alicia, whose courage, strength and faith in her husband are the primary reasons for his recovery.59. This passage is most probably _.A. a book review B. a movie reviewC. a movie poster D. an advertisement60. Which can replace the underlined phrase hitting on in the fourth paragraph?A. come up withB. come onC. put onD. put up with61. The following statements are true EXCEPT that _.A. John Nash did not go mad totallyB. Ron Howard is an outstanding directorC. the stress of the academic work caused Nashs illnessD. Nashs concentration on his work and his shyness brought him few friends62. We can infer from the text that_.A. without Alicia, John Nash would not have recovered from schizophreniaB. John Nash gave up his career when troubled by schizophreniaC. Russell Crowe won another Oscar Award after this movieD. John Nash volunteered to serve in the armyCThe word “conservation” has a thrifty meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such a good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials: most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and could “last forever”. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.Fifty years ago, nature study was not part of school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; wood was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about correcting the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should be made part of everybodys daily life. To know about the water table (水位) in ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic math formulas. We need to know why all watersheds (上游集水区) need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to give their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, grown trees, because living space for most of mans fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic（立方体的） volume above the earth. In a word, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as we can.63. The authors attitude towards the use of natural resources is_.A. positive B. uninterested C. optimistic D. critical64. According to the author, the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that_.A. they had no idea about scientific forestryB. they had little or no sense of environmental protectionC. they were not aware of the importance of nature studyD. they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials65. To avoid repeating the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that _.A. we plant more treesB. natural sciences be taught to everybodyC. environmental education be given to everybodyD. we return to nature66. How can you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?A. Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller.B. Our living space should be measured in cubic volume.C. We need to take some measures to protect space.D. We must preserve good living condition for both birds and animals.DWhos in control of your life? Whos pulling your strings? For the majority of us, its other people-society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this, good feeling like a drugwe are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval (赞同) of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix（一剂毒品）, we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedomthe freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, theyre more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted (tired) and probably pleasing no one in the process.So how can we take back control? I think theres only one way make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of valuesnot values imposed from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others;
