Asia is such a vast and diverse continent for anyone dreaming of an escape. Here are some best destinations to visit over the next 12 months.
Xi’an, China
Xi’an, China is supreme and then there’s the biggie (重要的事物)-the Army of Terracotta Warriors, celebrating 30 years as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017.
Xi’an is vast, but a relaxed way of living and recent openings have boosted an already superb accommodation market. A crop of new bars and cafes are thrown in here. There’s never been a better time to visit.
South of Tokyo, Japan
Two cities in south of Tokyo are well worth visiting.
Yokohama is just a 20-mixinte train journey from the capital and packs considerable appeal with its bayside location, architecture, beer and tasty cuisine.
Less than an hour from Tokyo, fantastic seaside town Kamakura »s known for its surfing scene, but also offers an attractive selection of relaxed cafes and restaurants.
Sri Lanka’s Hill Country
Sri Lanka may be “so hot right now”, but Lonely Planet recommends a different experience.
Try getting ahead of (and away from) the pack by taking a scenic train to Sri Lanka’s Hill Country for a wonderfully temperate escape from the nation’s humid coasts.
This island owns a mountainous interior that is every bit as scenic as the coast, blessed by pleasantly cool temperatures that rarely above 21℃.
Raja Ampat, Indonesia
“Raja” means “king” and this grand title is apparent. Packed with white-sand beaches, lush jungle and unusual mushroom-shaped small islands. Raja Ampat is a biological hotspot.
Home to some of the richest, most diverse coral reefs on the planet—over 200 diving spots are still in a state of nature—and this, paired with a growing ecotourism (生态旅游) offering, means Raja Ampat will no doubt remain king of the islands.
1.What can visitors do in Xi’an?
A. Shop in a fantastic seaside town. B. Appreciate diverse heritage.
C. Enjoy mushroom-shaped small islands. D. Experience planting crops by themselves.
2.Where is a surfer most likely to go?
A. Yokohama. B. Raja Ampat.
C. Kamakura. D. Sri Lanka’s Hill Country.
3.Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A fiction book. B. A private letter.
C. A science report. D. A travel guidebook.

I am a parent of a disabled teenager. My son is in and out of hospital and school. His learning disabilities and behaviour issues are a barrier for him, and he is teased on campus. At home, he swears and punches me.
He is on a waiting list for his disorder which contributes to his anxiety. Meanwhile, there are hospital appointments to manage, at least four consultants on the go, and an imminent transfer to adult services. The bureaucracy of caring keeps me busy.
I used to work in the theatre industry but had to quit when my son kept getting excluded from school. I never expected that my life would turn out like this. But now, amazingly, I am doing a PhD at a Russell Group university，looking at nonwhite protagonists in historical drama. It is fascinating: underrepresented characters!Hidden histories! Diversity!
I am starting to win awards for my research and I feel like a success story. Almost. There's just one problem: I can't get funding. I keep missing out on studentships and scholarships. These awards—which are mainly funded by research councils or universities directly—are worth about ￡14，000－￡16，000 a year and usually include a fee waiver (saving a further ￡5，000). That's a lot of money.
But the funding tends to go to students half my age with straightA academic results—not to people like me, who have taken an unusual path to academia. When I was turned down for the last studentship I applied for, I asked why. The decision maker—a professor in my department and the head of a research institute—told me “it all comes down to excellent academic results”．
They don't say this on the application forms: it's all about the originality of your project, your research statement, your supervisor's supporting statement, the panel that considers you, the level of competition. But when it comes down to it, this is clearly what they want. Someone with my background is never going to get a studentship if the decisive criteria are undergraduate and master's results.
When I started my PhD and realised that I would need financial help, I went to the student advice office and told them that I am a carer. They asked what that meant and then offered me advice on benefits, but not funding. I went to the student union advice service—they referred me back to student advice. I went to the graduate school. Same response. I spoke to a vice dean and a chaplain. I had to tell them what a carer is. You get the picture. I was invisible. So I gave up, decided to apply annually for the studentships and kept my parttime job.
UCAS announced this year that young carers will now be able to identify themselves in their applications, so that universities will be able to support them. But how is this going to happen if staff at these institutions don't even know what a carer is?
The student welfare vicepresident at the union has finally agreed with me that carers are an undersupported and underrepresented group on campus. We are going to ask student records to add an option to the equality and diversity monitoring section, so that we can identify as carers and hopefully raise awareness. Wish us luck.
1.Put the following events in the correct order.
a. The author won awards for her research.
b. The author spoke to a vice dean and a chaplain.
c. The author decided to apply annually for studentships.
d. The author started her PhD.
A.dabc B.dcba
C.cdab D.cdba
2.According to the decision maker，the writer's application for funding was turned down mainly because ________．
A.she has a disabled son B.her academic results were not good enough
C.the bureaucracy of caring kept her busy D.the competition was too fierce
3.It can be inferred from the passage that ________．
A.the writer likes reading success stories
B.the writer is a nonwhite woman
C.carers deserve our attention and help
D.carers are favored in the process of application and enrollment
4.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Only undergraduates and masters can get the studentship.
B.In spite of her son's illness, the writer continued to work to feed her family.
C.The writer shows great interest and enthusiasm in her academic research.
D.The writer's disabled son does not respect his mother.
5.The writer's purpose is mainly to ________．
A.call on more people to care about disabled teenagers
B.complain about the barriers she met in getting funding
C.inform the readers of a carer's difficulties
D.give advice on how to get a studentship

How to escape from a car in water
“If you get on your phone and call your parents or your sister, or 911,you will die, " says Robert May, a 21-year-old veteran （老兵）of the Indiana State. No one else will arrive in time: you have to save yourself.
Move quickly. Minivans (微型货车) might float for as long as 10 minutes. 1. In a study from the University of Manitoba, three passengers were able to exist with a child mannequin (人体模型) through a single driver-side window in just 3 seconds.
Unbuckle (揭开) your seatbelt, lower your window and climb out, ideally onto the roof of the vehicle. 2. Unfasten them from the backseat, pull them into the front and push them out of your window, oldest ones first. In May's experience, electric car windows will continue to work after falling into water. 3..
Don't open the door, water will flood in. Once full of water, the vehicle will sink fast. 4. Vehicle submersions (淹没) have one of the highest death rates of any type of single-motor-vehicle incidents, responsible for 400 deaths a year in North America.
After you get on top of your car, figure out if it makes sense to stay put or swim for dry ground. 5. Just get out first, May says.
A. From there, call for help.
B. You will be then totally out of danger.
C. Research has been done to confirm this.
D. If there are children present, attend to them first.
E. In one study, a 65-passanger bus sank in nine seconds.
F. Still, keep a small grass-breaking tool on your key ring, just in case.
G. However, the chances of survival are highest if you get out in the first 60 seconds.
