To travel around the world is the dream of many adventurous people. But very few people can afford a global tour because hotels, food and airplane tickets are too expensive. Some people, however, have thought of some ways to realize their dreams.

They have stayed in big cities and small villages. The home owners are usually very generous and have given them food, wine and day trips.

Another person who tries to realize her travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor. She travels around the world to visit, review and take photos of the best hotels. She shares the places she stays in and the food she eats on the Internet with tens of thousands of followers.

Easter Island is one of the most mysterious islands. The triangular shaped island is made mostly of volcanic rock.

When we think of Easter Island we think of huge stone carved (雕刻) figures called Moai that dot the coastline. The Moai are seen all over the island, and in different shapes, sizes and stages of completion. No one is sure yet as to what purpose the Moai served, but there is evidence that the Moai were carved by the ancestors of the present inhabitants of the island. They sit on rocky lava telling a story of a long lost civilization.

Ron Fisher in his work Easter Island Brooding Sentinels of Stone mentions one explanation that “two classes of people, the so-called Long Ears and Short Ears, lived on the island. The Short Ears were governed by the Long Ears, and were forced to carve the Moai. After many generations and during a rebellion (反叛), the Short Ears killed all the Long Ears, which explains the sudden end of the statue-carving.”

Moai sit on platforms called Ahu. Ahu Akivi is an observatory built about 1500 AD. As in the case of many religious structures on Easter Island, everything has been situated with astronomical precision (精度): the seven statues look towards the point where the sun sets during the equinox (春分或秋分).

Ahu Akivi is an unusual site. A low ahu supports seven statues all very similar in height and style. The site is strange in that it is located far inland and the statues were erected (竖立) to face the ocean. The only site where this was done. Like other Easter Island sites the statues were found knocked off the ahu, lying face down on the ground. In 1960, archaeologist (考古学家) William Mulloy’s team spent several months raising the statues to their original positions.

Some scholars hold the idea that its seven statues represent the seven young explorers that the Polynesian King Hotu Matu sent from across the sea, probably from the Marquesas Islands, to find this new homeland for him. But no one knows for sure. The generally accepted theory is that these great stone statues were built to honour Polynesian gods and deified (奉为神) ancestors such as chiefs and other figures important in the island’s history. It is believed that their function was to look to a village or grave site as a protector. They may also have been status symbols for villages.

1.Ron Fisher’s work is mentioned to explain _____.

A. who carved the Moai

B. how the Moai were carved

C. why the Short Ears killed the Long Ears

D. who were the primary inhabitants of the island

2.Which of the following statements about Ahu Akivi is TRUE?

A. Ahu Akivi was located near the coastline.

B. The seven statues were the same in height.

C. Ahu Akivi was discovered by William Mulloy.

D. The seven statues faced down when discovered.

3.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A. Who found the island first.

B. Guesses as to what the statues represent.

C. The important figures in the island’s history.

D. Why King Hotu Matu sent explorers to the island.

4.The author writes this passage mainly to _____.

A. introduce the Moai on Easter Island

B. encourage people to visit Easter Island

C. convince archaeologists to find more about Moai

D. talk about who created the Moai on Easter Island

The most wonderful time of the year (the Christmas season) is also the most stressful for lots of people struggling to fit in increased end-of-the-year workloads, holiday parties, shopping, guest hosting, travel, and seeing friends and relatives who you’d otherwise avoid. Luckily, the same coping mechanisms that can help relieve stress and find better balance during the year also work for this holiday.

Here are four tips to finding work—life balance during this season.

1. Know and avoid your stressors(压力源).

If cooking for a large group, baking cookies, or Christmas shopping are your key stressors, don’t do them. Lots of grocery stores will help cater your next holiday meal. Bakeries exist for a reason, and gift cards are much appreciated by all. Stop trying to live up to someone else’s expectations of the holidays and stay merry by outsourcing the pain points.

2. Get flexible at work.

If you normally travel an hour each way at work, see if your boss will let you work from home in this special season to save time, get more done, and reduce your stress. Or ask if you can start work from home in the mornings and come to the office later in the day to avoid peak hours. Leave early and finish your day from the comfort of home, too.

3. Make your own list and check it twice.

Make a to-do list for yourself, for both work and life, then divide it up into categories like “must do,” “want to do,” and “feel obligated to do.” If you can remove any or all of your required list, the rest of your to-dos will start to look a lot easier.

Once you have your lists in order, it’s time to start crossing things off. In between your must-dos tasks, include a want-to-do task to break things up and re-energize yourself. Yes, this holiday is a time to give back to others and be selfless, but there’s still a bit of “self” in selflessness, isn’t there?

4. If you start to feel a cold coming on, come to a full and complete stop.

The best way to stop a cold from exploding into a weeks-long sickness is to stop it at the start. Unless a task or activity is an absolute necessity, cancel your plans, put away your to-do lists, and settle in for a long winter’s nap. A day of rest and enough sleep is the only thing you NEED right now. Feel bad about declining holiday invitations from your friends and family? You’re doing them a favor. Once people hear that you’re sick, they’ll be glad you stayed away — they don’t want to come down with a cold during the holiday any more than you do!

It is certain that you can feel less stressed in this hectic season when you stop expecting so much from yourself, because nobody puts so much expectation on you as you do to yourself. Trying to satisfy clients, co-workers, friends and family can be draining and can finally negatively impact you in many ways. When you simplify things up front, you relieve the stress off of yourself and everyone else in the process. Stop focusing on what you feel like you’re obligated to do, and start focusing on what you want and need to do, the load will get lighter and you will feel a lot merrier under the Christmas tree.
