27、As well as hosting New Zealand’s largest and most populous city, the Auckland region features many attractive, diverse places.

Central Auckland

Central Auckland is a hub of urban delights set against beautiful coastal scenery. You can take a trip up the Sky Tower, the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. The adventurous can also try SkyJump-New Zealand’s highest base jump-or the incredible Sky Walk where you’ll walk around the outside of the Sky Tower for extraordinary sightseeing.

Rangitoto Island

Emerging unexpectedly from the sea some 600 years ago, Rangitoto, with its distinctive shape and superb location just off the coast, is the youngest and largest volcano in the Auckland volcanic field. The island is a favourite destination for hikers and day-trippers. Walk up to the top, and you can see the black lava caves on your way up and don’t forget to bring a torch to explore them with the kids.

Great Barrier Island

Great Barrier Island is a large island with a small population. For thousands of years, Bt has sheltered Auckland’s harbour from the continuous swells of the Pacific Ocean. The wilderness areas are home to several unique plant and bird species. Most amazingly, the community on the island is not using the public supplies of electricity, gas or water, but entirely relying on renewable solar power and collection of freshwater.

Waiheke Island

In landscape, lifestyle and experience, Waiheke is a world away. The three white sandy beaches are perfect for swimming, kayaking, or having a picnic. If you’re a walker, explore the island’s tracks which wind along cliff tops and into cool native forests. At the eastern end of the island, a walkway leads you to a system of World War Il gun emplacements (炮台) and underground tunnels.

28、College student Casey Fischer went to her regular coffee shop for a drink. Little did she realize, this coffee break would be far different from any other. It would be an experience that would change her life forever.

Casey noticed a man by himself, who appeared to be picking things up off the ground, but she couldn’t tell exactly what his purpose was until she looked a little closer. To her heartbreak, she realized that he was gathering any dropped change he could find and putting it in his pocket. She decided to bless the homeless stranger with a hot meal that morning. She then invited him to sit at her table for a conversation.

Over the breakfast Casey provided him, the homeless man opened up about his life story and how he ended up where he was. “His name was Chris. He told me a lot about how people are usually very mean to him because he’s homeless, how drugs turned him into the person he hated, he lost his mom to cancer, he never knew his dad and he just wants to be someone his mom would be proud of,” Casey said.

Eventually Casey realized she had to head back to her classes. Chris told her to hold on for just one moment. He then picked up a piece of paper, wrote a short note on it, smiled and gave it to her. After Casey and Chris had said their goodbyes, she opened up the note and was alarmed at what it said. “I wanted to kill myself today. Because of you I now do not. Thank you, beautiful person,” Chris wrote.

Thanks to Casey’s kindness, going out of her way to not just buy a meal for someone in need, but actually sit down with that person and listen, some real change had occurred and one man went from suicidal to hopeful. All it takes is a cup of coffee and small conversation.

C．Because he wanted to express his thanks to her.

29、   The next time you need to get somewhere, you may be able to follow your nose. A study has found that a strong sense of smell is associated with a strong sense of direction.

Researchers conducted an experiment at McGill University in Canada. Fifty-seven adults were invited to participate in a virtual “way-finding task" in which they had to make their way around a virtual environment. They were given 20 minutes to learn about the virtual city. After having passed by each of eight landmarks at least twice, the participants were placed in front of one of the landmarks and asked to find the most direct route to one assigned by the researchers.

The participants also smelled 40 scented (有香气的) pens one at a time. After a brief sniff, the participants chose one word that best identified the smell from four words on a screen.

An additional exercise used a virtual maze (迷宫) to determine if the participants were more likely to rely on landmarks to find the way or if they used a more habit-based method built over time as people traveled the same route over and over again.

What the researchers found was that those with the ability to correctly identify the smells of the pens also had the easiest time performing the way-finding task by way of landmarks. A strong sense of smell was not identified in the participants who used the more habit-based method.

The connection between the sense of smell and way-finding likely came about as a result of the evolution of the nervous system. The original function of the sense of smell in humans may have been intended to support our spatial memory.

Keep that in mind the next time you get lost going to the dentist. It won't prevent you from getting horribly lost, but it's good food for thought along the way.

【1】How does the author support his argument?

A.By examining differences. B.By doing virtual experiment.

C.By providing examples. D.By analyzing cause.

【2】What were the participants asked to do after smelling a scented pen?

A.Decide whether they liked the smell.

B.Use a sentence to describe the smell.

C.Choose a suitable word for the smell.

D.Find the landmark that featured the smell.

【3】Which of the following factors is related to a strong sense of direction?

A.The way of using landmarks. B.More experience in describing things.

C.Quick adjustment to the virtual world. D.A more habit-based way-finding method.
