AIf you are planning a trip to Sanya, I guess shopping at the world’s largest duty-free (免税) store will be included in your not-to-miss list.The new Haitangwan Duty-Free Shopping Center opened its doors on September 1 this year. It has attracted nearly 300 international brands. Like Prada and Rolex, it is the first time they have appeared in a DFS on the Chinese mainland.Ok, before you start your shopping, you should know the following information.1. Who is allowed to shop at Sanya DFS?Domestic and foreign visitors who are above 16 years old, and will fly out of Hainan Island, but not in an outbound (出国的) travel, including Hainan residents.2. How to shop?Domestic visitors can buy things at the store with ID cards and their flight numbers. Foreign visitors have to show their passports or other valid documents, along with flight numbers.You can choose to take the goods with you after the buying.

Guides for duty-free shopping in SanyaBBeing a quitter isn’t being someone who gives up, who doesn’t see important things through to the end. The quitter I want to be is someone who gets out when there’s no value to be adde d, or when that value comes at the cost of something more important.I want to quit doing things that I’m asked to do, for no other reason than I’m asked to do it. I want to be able to give up something halfway, because I realize there’s nothing good comin g from it.A friend of mine once told me that “I knew I was an adult when I could stop reading a book, even after getting 500 pages into it.“Though it sounds strange, we all tend to do this. We’re doing something, realize we don’t want to be a part of it, but keep on it. We say“well, I’ve already spent so much time on this; I might as well stick it out.”However, I don’t think so. If you’re reading a book, and don’t like it, stop reading. Cut your losses, realize that the smartest thing to do is stop before your losses grow even more, and quit. If you’re working on a project at work that isn’t going anywhere, but you’ve already given much time to it, quit. Take the time gained by giving up the useless project, and put it toward something of value. Instead of reading a whole book you hate, read 1/2 a bad one and 1/2 a good one. Isn’t that a better use of your time?By quitting these things, you’ll free up time to do things that actually do create value, for yourself and for others. You’ll have time to read all the great books out there, or at least a couple more. You’ll be able to begin to put your time and effort into the things you’d actually like to do.25. What kind of quitter does the author want to be?A. He won’t ask others for help.B. He likes to give up doing something.C. He prefers to do something important.D. He’ll stop doing something he thinks useless.26. The author wishes to stop things .A. if he is too tiredB. if he is forced to do themC. if he has no interest in themD. if he knows a lot more about them27. How does the author find continuing to read a book he hates?A. It’s a waste of time.B. It’s a way to cut losses.C. It’s worth doing sometimes.D. It’s hard to say if it’s right or wrong.28. What’s the advantage of q uitting unnecessary things?A. Having more time to rest.B. Being able to read more books.C. Avoiding doing what others do.D. Having more chances to do valuable things.CSpecial Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road——Reported by Sheila Carrick Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.“Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Road kill.“Ecopassages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.Builders of ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animals overpass!29. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that ________.A. wild animals have become more dangerousB. the driving conditions have improved greatlyC. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to workD. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents30. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is ________.A. a pass for animals to cross the roadB. a bridge for animals to get over a riverC. a fence built for the safety of the areaD. an underground path for cars31. When th e writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”, he means ___________.A. animals are increasing in numberB. animals are crossing the road in groupsC. animals begin to learn to use ecopassagesD. animals begin to realize the dangers on the roadDThe best anti-aging technique could be standing up, scientists believe, after discovering that spending more time on two feet protects DNA.A study found that too much sitting down shortens telomeres, which protect chromosomes (染色体).Short telomeres have been linked to premature aging, disease and early death. So spending less time on the sofa could help people live longer by preventing their DNA from aging.The research found that people who were frequently on their feet had longer telomeres, which were keeping the genetic code safe from wear and tear.Surprisingly, taking part in more exercise did not seem to have an effect on telomere length.Prof Mai-Lis Hellenius, from Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, said:“In many countries formal exercise ma y be increasing, but at the same time people spend more time sitting.”There is growing concern that not only low physical activity but probably also the behavior of sitting long is an important and new health danger of our time.“We think that a reduction in sitting hours is of greater importance than an increase in exercise time for aging people.”Telomeres stop chromosomes from aging. Scientists say that lifespan is connected with the length of telomeres.Researchers looked at 50 overweight adults who often sit long in their late sixties and measured the length of the telomeres in their blood cells.Half of them had been part of an exercise program that lasted six months, while the other half had not.The study revealed that although people who did more exercise tended to be healthier, the most important factor was how much time they spent sitting down.Scientists found that the less time a person spent sitting, the longer their telomeres, and the greater their chance of living longer.32. Which describes the fact correctly?(T: telomeres C: chromosomes)A. Longe r T→Better C→Longer lifespanB. Shorter T→Better C→Shorter lifespanC. Longer T→Worse C→Better healthD. Shorter T→Worse C→Worse health33. What is the finding of the research?A. One can keep fit by sitting more.B. Exercise will stop you from aging.C. Standing may be good for your health.D. Physical activities are bad for the old.34. The underlined word “them” refers to “”.A. researchersB. overweight adultsC. telomeresD. blood cells35. What is the purpose of the text?A. To present a research result.B. To solve a scientific problem.C. To introduce some aging people.D. To explain a biological phenomenon.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
