When his book Little Princes begins, Conor Grennan is planning a year-long trip around the globe, a journey that began with a three-month volunteer service at the Little Princes Children’s home, an orphanage(孤儿院) in Nepal.
When he arrived at the orphanage, Conor was immediately welcomed by all the children even though he had no previous experience in working with children. He quickly grew to love the job. But it wasn’t long before Conor came to learn that the children were not orphans at all — they were actually children who had been separated from their parents by a child trafficker(贩子).
This realization turned Conor’s global journey into a strong desire to try to find a way to reunite these children with their families. As a part of his efforts, Conor did a great amount of work when he was back in America. He started up a nonprofit organization called Next Generation Nepal(NGN), raising funds in order to buy a house in Nepal for another children’s home. Then, back in Nepal, he began a life-changing trek(艰苦跋涉) into the remote villages in the mountains of Humia.
It is really amazing to read about Conor communicating with the children and to read his descriptions of each of them. He made me truly care about the kids. I wanted them to be able to reunite with their families, too! Unfortunately, this was sim ply not possible for some of the children. But there were some children who received amazing surprises. Jagrit, for example, had thought for years that both his parents were dead. So, Conor was dumbfounded when he visited Jagrit’s village and was introduced to the boy’s father!

While nature lovers across the world wish all humans to realize the significance of their natural surroundings, many Australians are turning caring for the environment into a way of life.
Julie Astonis, an Australian housewife in Brisbane is one such example. Even though autumn is approaching Australia’s Brisbane in April, one can still watch colorful blooming(盛开的) flowers in Julie’s little garden, as she tells that in her community, “Each of us has a beautiful yard. The whole community, from children to elderly people, takes care of the environment as if they are taking care of their own garden.
“Gardening is the most popular club in our community,” she says. “A lot of retired people don’t just regularly organize gardening lectures, but also pers onally visit families in the community to provide gardening training. So you can see that flowers continue to blossom in our gardens throughout the year.”
Talking about her people’s sense of care for the environment, Julie says when people in the community take along their dog, they always carry a garbage bag to deal with the dog’s waste. “In our community, you will never experience the embarrassment of stepping on the dirty waste while you are walking on the grass,” says Julie with a smile. “Taking care of the dog’s waste can also help to develop children’s sense of responsibility!”
As to protecting water resources, the Australian government has made strict rules for families. Julie says, “We certainly would not use tap water to water the flowers!” She says almost every family in her community has a huge tank used to store rainwater, which is later used as the resource of all outdoor water use, connect the water tank with their toilets.

Below you’ll find the most popular travel and vacation destinations in the US.
Times Square, New York City
This Manhattan crossroads of commerce(商业) is the top spot on our list, thanks to increasing visitors to New York City in 2014 despite the economic turndown. According to the Times Square Alliance, “80% of visitors to NYC make it a point to visit Times Square.” The total of NYC visits last year was 47 million, which means about 37.6 million travelers visited the “Crossroads of the World”.
The Las Vegas Strip, Nevada
The Strip is part of the federal government’s National Scenic Byways Program, which designs roads based on “archeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational and scenic qualities”. Last year, total visitors to Las Vegas numbered 37.5 million; the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority found that an average of 80% of visitors had either stayed overnight or gambled(赌博) on the Strip.
National Mall and Memorial Parks, Washington, D.C.
Many of the nation’s iconic(图标的) public landmarks are found in the 1,000-plus acres of the National Mall and Memorial Parks, including the Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson Memorials, and the Korean and Vietnam War Veterans Memorials. The Smithsonian Institution’s 19 museums are also close to the Mall; last year, the network of free museums drew more than 25 million visitors.
Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Boston
Built in 1742 by Peter Faneuil, a wealthy Boston merchant, Faneuil Hall has served as a commercial centre of the city for centuries and as a site for famous public speeches, like Samuel Adams’ independence-rallying speech to colonists.

Hot yoga is not terribly different from regular yoga. You will do the same poses and will need a yoga mat. However, the catch is that the temperature will be at least 100 degrees Fahrenheit and sometimes higher. The heat is what makes this type of yoga not for everyone. Regardless of your overall health, talk to your doctor before taking a hot yoga class and let your doctor know that you plan to take one.
I personally cannot do hot yoga due to a condition that is greatly worsened by temperature extremes, so I am an example of someone who cannot do this form of exercise. I do regular yoga just fine, but the temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit would be severely uncomfortable and possibly dangerous.
The climate is said to help with muscle flexibility and you will sweat like there is no tomorrow— which is believed to force out more toxins(毒素).It is important to keep in mind that even if you are in good health, the high temperatures can take some getting used to. You may want to start with a shorter class and work your way up.
You will be sweating greatly in hot yoga temperatures. Drink plenty of water before, during and after your class. It is also important to pay attention to your body. If you are feeling very tired, it is time to sit down and get some water. You should also remove yourself from the hot environment, but not into a very cold environment. For example, just go into a hallway—a place that is at a normal temperature and start to drink some water.
Things like heat stroke（中暑）are possible with this type of yoga. These issues are most often seen in those over 60 years of age, but younger people with chronic（慢性的）health problems are also at risk. Anyone can fall victim to heat stroke. Children are also especially vulnerable（脆弱的）to heat stroke, so leave the kids at home while you attend your yoga class.
If during class you ever start to feel bad or weak, immediately stop and tell your instructor so that he or she can get you help. Do not try to finish the class.
72. Hot yoga is different from regular yoga in _________.
A. its poses B. its temperatureC. its special clothes D. its special yoga mat
73. The author writes the second paragraph to _________.
A. prove not all people can do hot yoga
B. explain hot yoga isn’t a good way to exercise
C. suggest she thinks hot yoga unreasonable
D. show she doesn’t like hot yoga very much
74. The fourth paragraph is developed by _________.
A. giving some advice B. making a comparison
C. providing some examples D. analyzing causes
75. Why do people take up hot yoga?
A. It is the most popular and effective exercise.
B. It works the muscles and forces out toxins.
C. It makes people get used to high temperature.
D. It prevents heat stroke and chronic disease.

Ⅵ．书面表达（满分25分）
One possible version:
Recently, I found many of us Senior Three students are getting stressed in our studies and can’t find a way out. Our pressure mainly results from the following: First, our top pressure comes from the heavy burden of school work. Second, the College En trance Examination is drawing near and we are always worried about whether or not we can be admitted into good universities. Besides, parents and teachers’ high expectations also keep us under great pressure.
As is known, too much pressure can cause harm to our body. As a result, our studies will be affected.
Here I suggest several ways to relieve pressure. Firstly, physical activities can reduce anxiety. Moreover, we can make time for fun to relax, such as listening to music, etc. Lastly, we can turn to our parents and teachers for help when stress does o ccur.
