Until the invention of the steam engine, humans travelled the earth on foot．The slow travel meant explorers frequently returned with stories about distant lands: some of them wild tales, some honest descriptions.
Barbara Klion, who has retired, knows what that’ like．As a walker who has toured Australia ,Kenya and China on foot ,her trips are the modern edition of an ancient tradition for years．Klion and her husband ,now 75 and 80 years old travelled independently.
Walkers know seeing the world on foot gives them a rare experience．Often travelers are attracted by local people and customs．They also get a beautiful and lasting impression of the scenery．Walking tours can be done in one’s backyard, but there are several destinations around the world that expose travelers to the best of nature and culture
What to look for ? A famous guide says the essential of a quality walk are great scenery, tolerable weather ,suitable level of difficulty and something like ecology ,history or culture．These may seem like unclear instructions , but the fun of walking tours is that many things are determined by the traveler.
Someone who appreciates hot climates ,wildlife and flat areas could choose a walking tour in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park．Travelers who don’t mind the cold and enjoy adventure could hike Patagonia, an area of southern Argentina east of the Andes.
In general ,independent travelers can decide how far to go each day, while guests of a tour agency should expect to walk an average of four to eight miles a day．At the Fordland National Park ,for example, there are several easy-to-difficult hikes, giving travelers many choices.

C．A helpful companion D．Suitable level of difficulty

A branch of psychology called neurolinguistic programming has made an interesting and useful discovery :You can change the way you imagine or remember things without changing what you imagine, and it will change your feelings．For example, if a visual memory makes you sad whenever you think about it, you can make that mental picture smaller and dimmer, and when you do, the memory won’t make you as sad．Since you haven’t changed the content of the memory, you haven’t lost any information．You have simply made it less painful．
When you visually remember a pleasant memory, you can made the picture more colorful and the money will give you even more intense good feelings．You can make your pictures of the future brighter, wider , deeper, or you can bring the images closer．Changes like these will make you feel different--- even when you leave the content of the picture the same．
These are general guidelies （指导方针）．You’ll need to experiment for yourself to find out what will work for a particular image．For a few people, making an exciting picture brighter makes the feelings less intense．And for some kinds of pictures, increasing the brightness would cause the feelings to become less intense --- for example, a romantic memory．
What is true for visual images also applies to the way you talk to yourself．
For example, if you have trouble motivating yourself , try changing the tone of voice you use when you spread to yourself．Some people order themselves about ．The voice they use to talk to themselves is harsh and commanding．Listening to yourself being bossy can have the same effect as listening to someone else being bossy: It can make you want to rebel．Change your tone to friendly or seductive, and you might feel more motivated ．When you tell yourself, “I can do it,” fill your internal voice with enthusiasm and back it up with inspiring music．The possibilities are in fact endless．
The important thing to understand is that they way you code your inner world has an impact , and you have quite a bit of control over that coding．You can change it deliberately．When you do , it will change your feelings, which change your actions, which will change the world around you．．
1．Which is the best title of the passage?
A．You Can Change the World Around You
B．Be Merry
C．You Can Change People’s Attitude towards You
D．Talk to Yourself in a Friendly Way

A．by change B．on purpose C．difficultly D．wiser
3．We can infer that if we make a sad mental picture bigger and brighter, we can become _____
A．happier B．sadder C．calmer D．wiser．
4．What does the underlined sentence “Some people order themselves around” suggest?
A．Some people order a lot of food．
B．Some people order others to follow their instructions
C．Some people are very hard on themselves
D．Some people are very strict with themselves．

The human body is a living machine, and, like all machines, it needs "fuel" （燃料） to supply it with energy．This is provided by the food we eat．But how much do we need to stay healthy?
The energy value of food is usually measured in calories．A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1℃．The number of calories people need per day is different．Also, the number of calories you use at any one moment normally depends on the activity you are in．For example, you need more calories for standing than for sitting, more for running than for walking, and so on．
The energy in food is in the form of three kinds of chemical materials-carbohydrate（碳水化合物）, protein（蛋白质）and fat．Carbohydrate provides 3．8 Cal/gm, protein 4．0 Cal/gm, and fat 8．8 Cal/gm．Each food contains different amount of these materials, as the round pictures show．
1．The amount of calories supplied by equal amounts of milk, rice, and peanuts is the largest in the case of ________．
A．milk B．rice C．peanuts D．rice or peanuts
2．Choose one statement from among A-D that agrees with the passage and the pictures above．
A．You need more calories for swimming than for mountain climbing．
B．Food contains energy in the form of carbohydrates, proteins and fuel．
C．Different people need different amounts of energy depending on their age, sex and the activities they are in．
D．3 grams of milk provides 16．6 calories because carbohydrate provides 3．8 Cal/gm, protein 4．0 Cal/gm and fat 8．8 Cal/gm．
3．This article mainly tells us ________．
A．all the energy is in food B．the human body needs energy
C．the number of calories depends on your activity
D．we must only eat peanuts to get calories

When you choose a fire, choose Safeburn ．It gives you the atmosphere of home comfort you are looking for, and sets your mind at rest．
Caithness Pride
Caithness Pride．The ninth Duke of Caithness would only drink the best whisky, So he built his own private still, in the heart of the Highlands, with the fresh water running in the stream nearby．When we came into possession of the still, we paid the Duke’s heirs a lot of money for it．But it was worth it．After all what was good for the Duke is too good to be kept a secret．

For her first twenty-four year, she’d been known as Debbie---a name that didn’t suit her good looks and elegant manner．” My name has always made me think I should be a cheerleader, ”She complained．”I just don’t feel like a Debbie!”
