26、 From picture—perfect beaches to mountains, wildlife and iconic structures, New South Wales (NSW), Australia, offers plenty to enjoy. This beautiful state is located on Australia’s breathtaking eastern coast. Sydney is the capital of New South Wales and Australia’s most populated city.
No trip to Sydney would be complete without a visit to Australia’s most famous landmark, the Sydney Opera House. Designed to be like a ship’s sails, it is nowhere else to be found and is recognized by people all over the world. In 2007, the structure was declared a World Heritage site. The Opera House welcomes more than 8 million visitors each year, making it the country’s most popular tourist spot. It is also one of the world’s busiest performing arts centers, featuring more than 2,000 performances each year. There are six different performance areas for dance, opera, theater and music. No matter what kind of entertainment you’re in mood for, there’s always an opera to fit the bill.
“Stunning natural beauty” describes the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. The name comes from the blue color that occurs when the region’s eucalyptus (尤加利树) forests release drops of oil These drops mix with water vapor and sunlight, creating a blue mist. This wilderness area, home to a great number of Australia’s birds and other forms of wildlife, is a large, mountainous region. The Blue Mountains’ scenery and closeness to Sydney make it a very popular tourist destination.
Off the coast of New South Wales lies Lord Howe Island. Created by a volcano, the island is surrounded by beautiful reefs. Two mountains tower over a bay with sandy, white beaches. After fully enjoying beach walks, mountain hikes, water activities, bird watching and more, visitors feel they are on cloud nine.

27、 How do you get a man to do his share of the housework? If you are like most women, you’ve faced this question the hard way.
A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually won’t make the effort to clean or organize it. This doesn’t mean that a woman has to do all the housework; she may have to manage many of the household duties, and request her partner’s participation. A woman can often say that men and women should take equal responsibility for housework.
Very few men are raised to be fully responsible for housework, and many men look on housework as women’s work. On the other hand, most men will readily work around the yard, make repairs and complete projects on weekends or evenings, and it’s important that you give your man appreciation for those things, too. Most men will take on a little housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more likely to do housework if they can choose what they want to do, and do it without being monitored.
Here’s the key: men want to feel that they are doing housework either because they want to do a task, or because they simply want to please their women. Men are much less likely to take on household tasks they consider uninteresting and unimportant. In other words, men are likely to do a household task just for the good of the house.
【1】According to the passage, a man __________.
A.is willing to do housework
B.likes to be told to do housework
C.is taught to be responsible for housework from childhood

【2】In order to get men to do some housework, women should often __________.
A.order them to do their share B.ask them to do some housework politely

【3】According to the passage, which of the following would a husband most probably like to do?
A.Cleaning the table. B.Doing some washing.
C.Painting the fence. D.Asking his wife to work on the yard.
