21、We’ve rounded up some top Australian travel bloggers who have given you their tips on the best places to visit in Australia.

Sydney

Sydney is filled with beautiful beaches, fun activities and good food. One of the best ways to have a view of the beauty of Sydney is by taking a relaxing walk rather than taking other means of transportation, such as buses and boats. An amazing beach walk is from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach. It offers extremely pleasant views of the area’s famous rocky, thin and sandy beaches.

Sunshine Coast

Sunshine Coast has become one of the most beautiful strips of coastland in Australia, with long white beaches lined with health-conscious cafes and trendy clothes shops. When you aren’t absorbing the sunshine on one of the many beaches, you can head out to the hinterland for a day of mountain hiking or discover the swimming holes and waterfalls.

Byron Bay

Byron Bay is one of Australia’s top tourist destinations. From countless waterfalls and swimming holes to mountains and bush walks, this small region hides so much beauty. I would suggest starting with a hike to the bottom of Minyon Falls for a swim, a hike to the top of Mt Warning for a sunrise, and then a hike to the Natural Arch.

Blue Mountains

If you’re looking for a dose of nature, the spot is for you. Make sure you have time to visit Wentworth Falls. Blue Mountains will offer walks with appealing views of the waterfall. These famous rock formations are the highlight of this picturesque postcard area. If you head to Echo Point, don’t miss the Science Railway—the steepest passenger railway in the world.

23、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。

Sitting at a desk in a classroom all day can be pretty boring.

The teachers at Ward Elementary in Winston –Salem, North Carolina, picked up on that and traded in their students’ desks for exercise bikes as a part of their Read and Ride program!

The Read and Ride program began five years ago． One classroom has enough bikes for every student in any given class, and throughout the day teachers bring in their students to the room to ride them and read their books．

Even regular classrooms have one bike in the back of each room for students who just can’t sit still to use to help them burn energy in a good way．

Students love being more active! Teachers enjoy seeing students eager to read． Parents appreciate stronger, smarter children． Headmasters value this effective and cost-free program．“Riding exercise bikes makes reading fun for many kids who get frustrated(挫败的) when they read． Thus, they have a way to release that frustration while they ride,” said Scott Ertl, who started the program．“As we can see, everyone wants to promote literacy and lose weight! But many students who are overweight struggle with sports and activities since they don’t want to always be the last or lose with others watching on the playground． On exercise bikes, however, students are able to exert(发挥)themselves at their own level—without anyone noticing when they slow down or take a break.”

As it turns out, not only are the bikes helping the students burn calories, they’re also helping them learn better and stay focused． At the end of the school year the school analyzed testing data and found that students that spent more time reading and riding did more than twice as well on reading tests than their fellow students who spent the least time in the program.

【1】Why did the teachers start the Read and Ride program?

A． To get the students out of the classrooms.

B． To make the students more active in sports．

C． To read effectively in an active way.

D． To help the overweight students keep fit.

A． is the least expensive way for exercise

B． can benefit overweight students in both ways

【3】The program helps the students in the following ways except________．

A． help them learn better

B． reduce their reading difficulties

C． build up their bodies

D． improve their learning concentration

24、The Top 4 Beaches on the East Coast

Jekyll Island, Georgia

Lying off the coast of Georgia, this 5,700-acre barrier island is famous for its nesting sea turtles and hermit crabs. Glory Beach got its name because producers of the 1989 movie Glory, featuring Matthew Broderick, Morgan Freeman, and Denzel Washington built a long- boardwalk to the beach that remains in place.

Block Island, Rhode Island

Accessible by ferry, Block Island shows New England charm. It's worth the effort to get to Mohegan Bluffs, where you can experience a set of 141 wooden steps leading down to the sand. With clay cliffs (陶土崖) and a view that reaches Montauk at the eastern tip of Long Island, this beach is especially unique.

Nantucket, Massachusetts

Great point, at the easternmost end of the island of Nantucket, is one of the most secret beaches in the world. That's because you need a four-wheel drive vehicle and a beach permit to get there. Once you do, you'll find miles of beachfront and a historic lighthouse.

East Hampton, New York

Named the best beach in the county in 2013 , Main Beach in East Hampton is known for its wide stretch of sand plus a snack (点心) bar, bathrooms and lockers. On-site parking is only available to local village people but there are free beach shuttles (班车) available.
