Fr us, ne f the many cultural shcks we experienced was during ur time in Blivia. We spent five mnths traveling arund Suth America but Blivia surprised us mst. Turism and the apprach t service in Blivia are, t sme extent, underdevelped, which is nt necessarily bad. Hwever, yu might get the feeling that the lcals dn't like yur presence. At times we didn't feel welcme at all.
Blivians will stare at yu, give angry lks, and ften wn't even say hi when yu cme t their stres and restaurants. After sme cnversatins with lcals, we were tld that the negative attitude had nthing t d with us. Blivians are just nt used t freigners and dn't really knw hw t handle turists. But we can't even blame them. After a lng and hard time as a Spanish clny, peple are still very suspicius f freigners.
What we lved mst and surprised us is hw Blivians keep their traditins alive, which is truly amazing. we ften saw lcals wearing their traditinal clthes and marketing their self-made medicine. These and ther effrts t preserve their custms deserve respect. Yu just can't see that in many cuntries in the wrld.
I lved their clthes s much that l brrwed a traditinal Blivian dress t try t vercme the “turist vs lcal barrier” and shw the lcals n the island that we truly lve their culture and appreciate it. The experience was abslutely wnderful. we walked t the sunset pint and lcals were smiling and waving at us, cheering and we felt like we had a “cnnecting mment”.
Even thugh we had this cultural shck and despite the negative feelings at the beginning f ur travels in Blivia, we have t say that we will never frget hw special Blivia was t us.

Nearly 40 years ag, Peter Harrisn, a marine eclgist witnessed the first recrded large-scale cral bleaching(珊瑚白化) event. Diving in the Great Barrier Reel（大堡礁）, he was shcked by the scene befre him. “The reef was made up f healthy crals and badly bleached white crals, like the beginning f a ghst city,” he says. Just mnths befre, the same site was filled with clrful trpical life.
“Many f the hundreds f crals that had been carefully labelled and mnitred finally died,” he says. “It was shcking and made me aware f just hw weak these crals really are.”
Cral exists tgether with phtsynthetic algae（藻类）, which live in its tissues and prvide essential nutritin(and clratin). But high temperatures and ther stresses can turn algae pisnus. When this ccurs, the algae may die r be remved by the cral, a prcess knwn as bleaching because the cral’s clear tissue and white calcium carbnate skeletn（碳酸钙骨骼）are expsed. If the cral can’t reestablish its link with algae, it will starve r becme ill.
The widespread destructin Harrisn saw in 1982 was repeated n many ther Pacific Ocean reefs that year and the next. In 1997 and 1998 the phenmenn went glbal, killing sme 16 percent f the wrld’s crals. With rising temperatures, pllutin, disease, increased cean acidity, invasive species, and ther dangers, Harrisn’s ghst cities are expanding.
Scientists suppse that abut fur decades ag severe bleaching ccurred rughly every 25 years, giving crals time t recver. But bleaching events are cming faster nw — abut every six years— and in sme places sn they culd begin t happen annually.
“The abslute key is dealing with glbal warming,” says marine bilgist Terry Hughes. “N matter hw much we clean up the water, the reefs will die.” In 2016, a recrd-ht year in a string f them, 91 percent f the reefs that cnsist f the Great Barrier Reef bleached.

9. Paragraph 3 is mainly abut _________.
A. the weakness f crals and algae B. the causes f cral bleaching

10. The phrase “Harrisn’s ghst cities” in Paragraph 4 mst prbably refers t _________.
A. the cral bleaching B. invasive species
C. glbal warming D. the plluted cean
11. What can be learned frm the passage?
A. With algae living in its tissues, cral’s white skeletn is expsed.
B. The reefs die because the water hasn’t been cleared thrughly.
C. The severest cral bleaching ccurred abut fur decades ag.
D. Slving glbal warming is the real slutin t cral bleaching.

When Jhn was grwing up, ther kids felt srry fr him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying ut the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when Jhn reached adulthd, he was better ff than his childhd playmates. He had mre jb satisfactin, a better marriage and was healthier. Mst f all, he was happier. Far happier.
These are the findings f a 40-year study that fllwed the lives f 456 teenage bys frm Bstn. The study shwed that thse wh had wrked as bys enjyed happier and mre prductive lives than thse wh had nt. “Bys wh wrked in the hme r cmmunity gained cmpetence and came t feel they were wrthwhile members f sciety,” said Gerge Vaillant, the psychlgist wh made the discvery. “And because they felt gd abut themselves, thers felt gd abut them.”
Vaillant’s study fllwed these males in great details. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers cmpared the men’s mental-health scres with their byhd-activity scres. Pints were awarded fr part-time jbs, husewrk, effrt in schl, and ability t deal with prblems.
The link between what the men had dne as bys and hw they turned ut as adults was surprisingly sharp. Thse wh had dne the mst byhd activities were twice as likely t have warm relatins with a wide variety f peple, five times as likely t be well paid and 16 times less likely t have been unemplyed. The researchers als fund that IQ and the family scial and ecnmic class made n real difference in hw the bys turned ut.
Wrking—at any age—is imprtant. Childhd activities help a child develp respnsibility, independence, cnfidence and cmpetence—the underpinnings(基础) f emtinal health. They als help him understand that peple must cperate and wrk twards cmmn gals. The mst cmpetent adults are thse wh knw hw t d this. Yet wrk isn’t everything. As Tlsty nce said, “One can live magnificently in this wrld if ne knws hw t wrk and hw t lve, t wrk fr the persn ne lves and t lve ne’s wrk.”
12.What d we knw abut Jhn?
A.He enjyed his career and marriage.
B.He had few childhd playmates.
C.He received little lve frm his family.
D.He was envied by thers in his childhd.
13.Vaillant’s wrds in Paragraph 2 serve as .
A.a descriptin f persnal values and scial values
B.an analysis f hw wrk was related t cmpetence
C.an example fr parents’ expectatins f their children
D.an explanatin why sme bys grew int happy men
14.What des the underlined wrd “sharp” prbably mean in Paragraph 4?
A.Quick t react. B.Clear and definite.
C. Having a thin edge.D.Sudden and rapid.
15.What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A.Cmpetent adults knw mre abut lve than wrk.
B.Lve brings mre jy t peple than wrk des.
C.Emtinal health is essential t a wnderful adult life.
D.Independence is the key t ne’s success.
