I packed my family int ur ld car and set ff n a 3,000 km trip frm Sydney t the utback (内陆), hping
t create lasting memries fr the kids. My plan seemed ambitius — cvering such distances with tw yung
kids in the back might sund crazy t a sensible persn.
Fr mst f the jurney, we ften felt annyed, arguing abut the remaining distance and the discmfrt in the
car. I’d had utback rad trip memries as a kid and wanted my city-raised children t see the vast pen spaces.
At a bird-hide near Frbes, we watched a swamp with bright green water and dead trees. Eager t share
Australian flk stries, I cnfidently tld the kids that a mysterius creature lived there — but stumbled when
they asked me fllw-up questins. Their enthusiasm fr the smallest jy blew my mind. At a radside mtel that
lked like a mvie set, the kids lved being wken by the night trains, cheering each time.
After three days, we reached Brken Hill — a twn dminated by a big slag heap (矿渣堆), just as
remarkable as I remembered. Surrunded by kilmeters f mineral-rich land, its streets imply its mining rts. I
feared the mineral museum wuld bre the kids, but they yelled with jy, thinking it was real-life Minecraft.
The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even cmplained abut hard mattresses n the bed and small twels. But n
Easter mrning, the kids went wild fr a simple egg hunt in ur cheap mtel rm, thrilled t search every crner. I
set ut t teach the kids abut the far reaches f ur state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I culd
ask fr all alng.

6. What des the authr think f the trip?
A. It is wrthwhile despite incnveniences.
B. It went in line with the authr’s riginal plans.
C. It is an ambitius but disappinting attempt.
D. It leaves the family an unpleasant memry.
7. What key message des the authr try t cnvey thrugh the passage?
A. Travel jy lies in vercming challenges.
B. City-raised kids can easily adapt t the rural area.
C. The utback ffers mre unique sights than cities.

“Individuals f all ages wh have empathy understand that smetimes telling little white lies can prtect ther
peple frm getting hurt,” says Barbara Greenberg, a clinical psychlgist in Cnnecticut. “Mst peple that I have
cme acrss tell these little white lies because they understand that 100 percent hnesty all the time is nt
beneficial.” A white lie, she explains, spares peple frm unnecessary hurt.
At the same time, Dr. Julia Breur, a marriage and family therapist in Flrida, emphasizes the imprtance f
paying attentin t the way we respnd t smene. The fact is that nt telling the truth can result in smething
unpleasant n yu; it’s nt just abut the persn the white lie is being tld t. Fr example, she says smene wh
always tells thers that “all is gd” when it cmes t a sick parent in an effrt t avid discussins abut hw
serius their health issue really is, can eventually face stressful experiences. When that parent eventually passes
away withut a chance t plan his r her final life, the persn wh always gave an “all is gd” respnse ends up
emtinally brken.
Smetimes, telling white lies ften depends n the situatin, Dr. Breur says. Fr example, cnsider a wman
wh has nt seen her mther fr several mnths. The daughter has gained nticeable weight, yet the mther
respnds by excitedly declaring that she lks great. “I emphasize during psychtherapy sessins with my patients
that cntext helps define meaning,” Dr. Breur says. “S when we lk at the cntext f a mther saying yu lk
great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight, it can be acceptable. It reflects the intentin f the
white lie which is kindness, prtectin and uncnditinal lve. Otherwise, white lies — especially when tld t
avid persnal respnsibility — can start a cycle f mistrust between peple, ultimately cmprmising integrity,”
she adds.
Therefre, it’s imprtant t ask urselves when it is and isn’t apprpriate t deliver the hnest truth, and when
it’s best t step back and ffer a mre delicate respnse. Mre ften than nt, it’s abut finding a balance between
the tw.
8. What can be learned abut white lies accrding t Barbara Greenberg?
A. They are cmmn. B. They are unidentifiable.
C. They are truble-making. D. They are shrt-lived.
9. What des Dr. Breur want t cnvey by using the example in paragraph 2?
A. It’s wrng t tell white lies t a seriusly ill parent.
B. White lies can harm bth the liars and the listeners.
C. We must respnd t ur family members truthfully.
D. The “all is gd” respnse is effective in dealing with patients.
10 Which f the fllwing white lies may Dr. Breur supprt?
A. A student claims his hmewrk was left at hme.
B. A Dad tells his sn their lst pet is living happily n a farm.
C. An emplyee blames traffic jam fr being late.
D. A nurse says she has t wrk vertime s as t decline an invitatin.
11. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. East r West, White Lies Are the Best B. White Lies Signify Uncnditinal Lve
C. Think Twice Befre Telling White Lies D. Tell White Lies t Shw Yur Sympathy
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C

One f the best things that can happen t a z r aquarium (水族馆) is fr ne f their resident animals t g
viral. Just lk at the lng lines t see M Deng, a hipp in Thailand wh has becme an Internet hit fllwing her
birth. Meanwhile, Pest — a baby king penguin wh was eating mre fish than his parents by the time he was a
few weeks ld — is als an nline celebrity.
We have t admit that cute animals make mney. Admissin tickets are nly the beginning. Many zs and
aquariums ffer special “behind the scenes” r “zkeeper fr a day” packages at much higher prices. The real
prduct, thugh, is merchandise. Stuffed animals, T-shirts, fridge magnets, keychains, kids’ bks and ther
branded prducts are a majr way fr zs and aquariums t make mney.
But what happens when these cute animals becme, well, less cute? The Sea Life Melburne Aquarium has
already been planning fr the next phase f Pest’s life and answering questins frm the public abut his changing
appearance. It’s nrmal fr king penguins t lse their feathers by the time they’re abut a year ld and becme
cnfident swimmers. As a result, guests have started asking why Pest lks different — r why they can’t find
him at all.
An animal cnservatin grup based in the UK has spken ut against zs and aquariums making animals g
viral. “The individual animal remains in an unnatural captive envirnment with little r n chance f being
reintrduced int the wild.” Rather than visiting a z t see a “famus” wild animal, this grup encurages anyne
wh is interested in these animals t learn abut and supprt the cnservatin f their habitats in the wild.
Using the cnventinally adrable animals is a gd way t get peple in the dr f zs and aquariums, but
the mney generated by merchandise can als pay fr the habitats f many ther species. “Our fcus isn’t n
prmting individual animals but n sharing the incredible stries that highlight the imprtant wrk we d as an
aquarium,” says the representative fr Sea Life Melburne Aquarium. “Pest’s stry resnated deeply with peple
wrldwide, but it’s just ne example f the many heartwarming and influential tales we have t share.”
12. Which is the mst prfitable surce f incme fr zs and aquariums?
A. Selling admissin tickets.
B. “Zkeeper fr a day” prgram.
C. Offering relevant sets and selling gds.
D. Making animals gain rapid ppularity nline.
13. What can we infer frm the Sea Life Melburne Aquarium’s plan?
A. It is wrried abut Pest’s health prblems.
B. It will transfrm Pest’s appearance.
C. It expects Pest t cntinue attracting attentin.
D. It will shift fcus t ther animals.
14. What can we knw abut the animal cnservatin grup?
A. It calls n the public t adpt “famus” animals.
B. It supprts the prtectin f animals’ habitats.
C. It encurages the gvernment t cancel zs.
D. It suggests building aquariums in natural envirnments.
15. What is the representative f Sea Life Melburne Aquarium’s attitude t prmting famus animals?
A. Negative. B. Indifferent. C. Supprtive. D. Dubtful.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. C

The girls sat under their sign in the park, which read “Decrate Yur Bike Here!” Park managers had set up a
Bike Parade. Bella and Mia planned t earn mney by decrating kids’ bikes fr the event.
Mia’s dad, an inventr, had given them a basket f bells, whistles, gadgets (小配件) and spare parts. Bella,
wh lves painting, brught paints, brushes, stickers, feathers and ther decratins. They had already decrated a
few bikes, but Bella felt frustrated.
“Yur mechanical things are better,” Bella grumbled t Mia, watching her friend easily assemble the parts f a
fancy bell. She held up her wn wrks — clrful flags and a dragn-painted hrn — and sighed, wishing they
had mre use. “The hrn sunds like an annying gse, nt a dragn!” she cmplained. Mia laughed ut lud,
truly delighted by the funny sund, and cnfidently tld Bella the custmer wuld find it charming.
Just then, Bella lked at the bike bell she’d been trying t assemble. “See? Every mechanical thing I try fails!”
she murmured. Mia leaned ver t ffer suggestins. Bella tried again, but the pieces still wuldn’t wrk. Her
frustratin grew. “I dn’t knw what I’m ding!” she cried, thrwing the bell nt the grass and sitting back beside
it, defeated. “Try again, Bella! Yu can d this,” Mia encuraged gently. Bella kept her eyes shut, hping n
custmers wuld cme and pretending she wasn’t a ttal failure.
But sn a shadw blcked her sun. Her brther Le and his friend Izzy std there. “Yur bikes need
decrating!” Mia annunced befre Bella culd speak. “That’s why we’re here!” Izzy smiled. Bella’s muth fell
pen in surprise, but she quickly clsed it, afraid t lk silly.
After discussing ideas, Mia sent the bys away. She grabbed Bella’s arm and said, “We’ll make these the

“I can’t!” Bella frwned, her heart sinking. She pictured Izzy’s disappinted face if the bike turned ut messy.
Mia patted her gently, “Fcus n what yu d best: art!” Bella hesitated, and then picked up her brush. Slwly, her
wrries faded as she turned Izzy’s bike int a masterpiece, sticking stickers and weaving feathers t create a
dragn-themed design. Meanwhile, Mia wrked quickly n Le’s bike, attaching bells n a handlebar. Kids nearby
even stpped t watch, pinting at the bikes with wnder. Satisfied, the girls stepped back t admire their wrk,
eager fr Le and Izzy’s reactin.
When Le and Izzy returned, their eyes widened. Izzy gasped, “It’s like a fire-breathing beast!” His bike shne
with Bella’s art: a fierce dragn hrn and feathers fluttering in the wind. Le’s bike was full f Mia’s gadgets — a
whistle and LED lights. “This is ttally new and awesme!” Le exclaimed, jumping n the bike. Bella smiled
brightly, her earlier frustratin gne. Mia winked, “Tld yu. Tgether, we make the perfect team.” As the bys
rde ff, Bella felt a warm sense f pride. She knew her skills had decrated mre than just bikes—they’d brught
