It is natural that daily setbacks keep us depressed and low-spirited，so it is essential for us to

amused with various recreation facilities.Last but not least，turning to others for help deservesconsidering.
In conclusion，only if we have an optimistic attitude can we live a happier life.

Four Fascinating National Parks in the World
Fiordland National Park
Fiordland National Park on New Zealand’s Southern Island was established in 1952 and is
part of the larger Te Wahipounamu wilderness，a UNESCO World Heritage Area.Covering 1.2
million hectares，Fiordland National Park is home to green rain forests，crystal clear lakes and
snow-capped mountains.Even on the frequent rainy days，the scenery is spectacular，with entire
valley walls turning into thundering waterfalls.Highlight is the amazing Milford Sound with Mitre
Peak，rising 1,692 metres above sea level and one of the most photographed peaks in the country.
Yosemite National ParkFirst protected in 1864 and one of the first parks in the National Park Service，California’s
Yosemite is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.The park’s central feature is Yosemite Valley，
which is surrounded by hills，trees and spectacular waterfalls.But the Park is so much more than
just a great valley with waterfalls：within Yosemite’s vast wilderness area，you find deep
valleys，grand grassland and more than 800 miles of spectacular hikes.
Serengeti National Park
Tanzania’s oldest and most popular National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and
was recently proclaimed a 7th worldwide wonder.The Serengeti is famous for its annual Great
Migration，a 1,200-mile odyssey of 1.5 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebras，all of them
chasing the rains in a race for life.Your chances of watching a kill are pretty high when you visit the
area in the right season.
Namib-Naukluft National Park
One of the most thinly populated countries in the world，Namibia is not the right place to get
lost.But it is a top destination for those who enjoy unmatched natural scenery and wildlife
viewing.Nowhere is this more evident than in the Namib-Naukluft National Park，the largest game
park in Africa，including part of the Namib Desert and the Naukluft mountain range.

Sound with Mitre Peak，rising 1,692 metres above sea level and one of the most photographed
peaks in the country.”可知，峡湾国家公园以有着麦特尔峰的米尔福德峡湾出名。故选A项。
2．Where is the largest game park in Africa located?
A．New Zealand. B．USA.
C．Tanzania. D．Namibia.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据 Namib-Naukluft National Park 部分的“Nowhere is this more
evident than in the Namib-Naukluft National Park，the largest game park in Africa，including part
of the Namib Desert and the Naukluft mountain range.”可知，非洲最大的野生动物公园在纳米
比亚。故选D项。
3．What do the first three parks have in common?
A．They were established in the 1950s.B．They are famous for waterfalls.
C．They belong to the same country.
D．They are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据 Fiordland National Park中“...part of the larger Te Wahipounamu
wilderness，a UNESCO World Heritage Area.”和 Yosemite National Park 中“California’s
Yosemite is a UNESCO World Heritage Site”以及 Serengeti National Park 中“Tanzania’s
oldest and most popular National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site...” 可知，前三个国家
公园的共同之处是它们都是联合国教科文组织世界遗产。故选D项。

I truly believe we all have a very special purpose in life，regardless of who we are or where
we come from.After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank，I wanted to do something
challenging.So when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers(股票
经纪人)，with great excitement，I made some phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its
branch vice presidents.After this interview and interviews with twelve of his top stockbrokers，I
eventually landed the job.
The first few months was a struggle.I lived on very little commission(佣金)．Night after
night，I left the office weary and exhausted，ready to give up，yet somehow returning the next
morning to start a new day.Eventually，all the hard work paid off.In less than four years，I
became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 1,700 percent.The
success earned me a six-figure income，promotion and numerous sales awards.
Toward the end of my fourth year at Merrill Lynch，it hit me that something was missing.I
thought long and hard about my goals.Then I was reminded of the time when I spoke to hundreds
of people，while in college as a student leader，and years later，when I won a “Humorous
Speech” championship.It dawned on me that every time I had a speaking engagement，I always
came out of the experience with a wonderful，energetic，peaceful and magical feeling that was
unmatched by anything else I did.I knew the extraordinary public-speaking skills I was blessed
with could enable me to make a lasting difference and transform other people’s lives.
Then I took another daring risk，gave up everything and left the investment business for a
more satisfying career as a motivational speaker.The beginning of my speaking journey was
surprisingly similar to what I had first experienced at Merrill Lynch.However，nothing in the
world comes close to the satisfying feeling I get when thousands of people tell me how much I have
made a difference in their lives by motivating them to take risks and be the best they could be.

Everyone knows what makes a good story.Our hero starts their journey as a flawed being.In
scene after scene，they face challenges that push them down new paths.By the end of the tale，
they overcome setbacks and become a better person in the process.
We love these plots in the novels we read but the principles of a good story offer much more
than entertainment.Recent research shows that the narratives we tell ourselves about our lives can
powerfully help us recover from stress.People who generate tales of struggling and turning over a
new leaf from their own lives appear to have much better mental health.Professor Dan McAdams
put forward this idea and discovered that whether someone can describe having had some control
over events in their past is an important predictor of mental health.Another key theme involved is
finding some kind of positive meaning after stressful events.
McAdams invited 14- and 15-year-olds to join in an experiment to write about their
experiences of failure and success.Half of them were then given extra instructions to describe the
ways they had made their success a reality and how the failure had changed them for the
better.Eight weeks later，members of this group reported greater persistence and better grades in
their schoolwork.
Exciting as these results are，some experts sound a few notes of caution.They worry that，
hearing about the power of self-narratives，many people may feel they have to find a positive
turning point in life.If they can’t，they could end up feeling guilty about having somehow
“failed”．
Clearly ， self-narratives aren’t the panacea.Nevertheless ， if you hope for self-
improvement，you can use the findings to good effect.By recognizing ourselves as the hero at the
center of our own struggles，we can all become the author of our own destiny and change
ourselves for the better.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了最近的研究结果：我们对自己生活的描述可以
有力地帮助我们从压力中恢复过来，那些讲述自己在生活中挣扎并重新开始的人似乎有更健
康的心理状态。

A．The causes of stress.
B．The principles of narrative.

about our lives can powerfully help us recover from stress.People who generate tales of struggling
and turning over a new leaf from their own lives appear to have much better mental health.”可知，研究的重点是心理健康和自我叙述之间的联系。故选D。
