下面是一些需旅游者的喜好。请为他们选择适合他们的旅游地点。
When I was young, l used to travel in some modern cities because l used to believe I could broaden my outlook there. However, now l find the best way to cultivate my mind is to get close to the oceans, the forests, the hills and the culture behind the nature.
I am going to travel around several cities near our country in the South America ith my girlfriend in this New Year vacation. She is really fond of the ancient tales and stories about a mysterious empire in this old continent. So I am looking for an ideal route to visit Inca Culture.
Nothing is better than exploring an uninhabited land for a postgraduate majoring in Geography. In a holiday, all my classmates are going to the North Pole and carry on some researches there, but I had to go alone several days after they set off, so I hope I can find a tour route and meet them there.
Although I can enjoy having snow battles with my kids in the winter vacation if we stay at home in China, I would like to take my twins to Egypt, an amazing country in Africa, to feel the different climate, the fantastic Arabic culture and its long history.
As an American-born Turkish, I can speak both English and Turkish fluently, but I have never gone back to my original country to visit the relatives living in Istanbul. So if possible, I’d like to fly there, visiting Istanbul and other cities in this great country.

It often seems that people have a hard time in speaking a seemingly familiar name. Did you ever have someone's name on the tip of your tongue and yet you were not able to recall it? When this happened，what did you do? Next time this happens again，what should you do?
You should not try to recall it. Instead, just do something else for a couple of minutes and then the name may come into your head. Why? The name is just there, since you have met this person and learned his name. It, waiting there, only has to be dug out. The initial(最初的) effort to recall prepares the mind for operation, but it is the subconscious (下意识的) activities that go to work to dig up a dim（模糊的）memory. Forcing yourself to recall almost never helps because it doesn't loosen your memory; it only tightens it.
That’s why students find the preparatory method greatly helpful in examinations. They read over the questions before trying to answer any of them. Then they answer first the ones of which they are most confident. At the same time, deeper mental activities in the subconscious mind are taking place; work is being done on the more difficult questions. By the time the easier questions are answered, answers to the more difficult ones will usually begin to come into consciousness. It is often just a question of waiting for recall to come to the memory.
You see, forcing ourselves to think hard to recall something usually doesn’t help. Chances are that the harder we think, the more difficulty we face in thinking of what we want to. Offering our mind time to work is what we are expected to do.

Problem	People ______ to recall what they are sure they know.
Solution	They are ______ not to try to recall it immediately. They can do something else for a while _____ of thinking hard about it.
______	It takes time for the subconscious activities to go to work to dig up a dim memory, in which case forcing oneself to recall can make the memory _____.
Example	Students find the preparatory method of great ______ in examinations. They, having read over the questions, first answer easy ones. _____, the subconscious activities are _____ to deal with harder ones.
______	People should offer their mind time to work so that a dim memory can be _____ up.

Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time. Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to permanent damage. But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention?
Here are some tips from Dr. Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia.
1. Laceration (裂口)
The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration. A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep. However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention.
2. Fingertips cut off
Some injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery to repair. More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful.
3. Bleeding
Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous (静脉的) bleeding. This means the blood flows steadily from the injury. The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound. In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to five minutes would do. But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial (动脉的) bleeding.
Finally, always keep this in mind: even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection. Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water. Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage.

A．How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is.

B．That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip.

C．This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible.

D．The first signs of this disease include difficulty opening the mouth.

E. Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty.
F. With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood.
G. The length is usually not as important as the depth.

Teen killers spur discussion on youth crime
NANNING—A high school student who was sentenced to life in prison for killing a 9-year-old girl has sparked discussions on juvenile delinquency (少年犯罪) in China.
The defendant, surnamed Lyu, the victim in December 2012, molested (骚扰)her, and beat her to death, according to a statement released by the People’s Court in the city of Xinzhou in North China’s Shanxi province on Saturday.
The court said the crimes committed were so horrible that no mitigation (减轻) was offered.
The case was just one more in a series of similar cases committed by .
Back in February of this year, the son of a famous Chinese singer was detained in Beijing along with four others for their alleged involvement in a gang rape.
Beijing police refused to disclose the name of the minor, but police insiders who requested anonymity said he is the son of Li Shuangjiang, dean of the music department of the People’s Liberation Army Academy of Arts.
In April, a 12-year-old boy killed a 76-year-old woman in Guiping City in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The boy, who is currently in custody, to police that he never wanted to kill the woman, and that he only wanted to steal money from her.
Many have expressed concern on the Internet about the conditions of China’s underage population, wondering what these little “flowers of the motherland” into “carnivorous plants” in a country for a harmonious society.
These cases are not rare, said Xia Xueluan, professor with the Department of Sociology at Peking University, adding that juvenile crimes in China, which have decreased in recent years, are still large in number.
From 2002 to 2011, the rate of recidivism of China’s juvenile offenders at 1 percent to 2 percent, according to a white paper on judicial reform published in October of last year, which also reported drops in juvenile delinquency cases and the of juvenile offenders among the total criminal population.
However, China’s juvenile offender number is still high, standing at around 67,000 in 2011, according to the white paper.
“The national average rate of juvenile delinquency mayhave fallen, but in many parts of the country, youth crimes are still on the rise,” Xia said.
