Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back．

Approach no closer than 100 meters, then stop the boat but keep the engine on．

Keep noise levels down—no horns, whistles or racing of engines．

Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 meters from your vessel．

Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 meters from the whales．

Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction．

Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales．

Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if travelling side by side with whales．

When whales are travelling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore．

Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 meters of whales．

If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales．

Work together by communicating with other vessels, and make sure that all operators are aware of the whale watching guidelines．

In two days, it will be Christmas, children all over world 【1】 (look) forward to this day for weeks. People celebrate Christmas with food, decorations, music and more. But for many people, gift-giving is the most exciting part of the holiday.

I have found memories of Christmas shopping with my family as a child. I enjoyed the challenge of keeping my parents’ gifts a secret. It was hard to buy gifts right. 【2】 their noses without them seeing. Everyone placed 【3】 (wrap) gifts under the Christmas tree until Christmas morning, 【4】 we opened them.

Picking a great gift require 【5】 (know) the person you’re giving it to. You need to know the person’s tastes and find something the person doesn’t already have. This can be quite a big challenge. Often it’s wise to provide a receipt 【6】 the person needs to exchange the gift.

The best gifts are personal. Many Americans don’t feel money constitutes a good gift 【7】 it doesn’t require any thought. They prefer something chosen just for the person. If the gift is a high-quality homemade gift, that’s even better.

Gift-giving reflects the reason 【8】 people celebrate Christmas. Christians in particular remember the birth of Jesus. When he was born, wise men traveled many miles to visit him, 【9】 (bring) expensive gifts. But the greatest gift wasn’t from the wise man, but from God—the baby Jesus. God gave this gift because everyone needed it. We needed God to forgive our bad actions so that we 【10】 live forever with him. So on Christmas we give presents to imitate God’s action of giving the perfect gift.

Where do you think the world’s happiest people live? Somewhere hot with sandy beaches? A country with a tradition of the fine food and culture? Not according to a recent study by the university of Leicester. Who are the happiest people on Earth? 【1】 Surprised? Well you’ll be more surprised when you hear that the Danes pay some of the highest taxes in the world. So what is the secret of their success?

Let’s start with all that tax they pay. The Danish government provides its people with one of the finest education and health systems in the world. It spends more on children and elderly people per capital than other country.

And there’s another advantage to those high taxes. Because a shop assistant’s final salary is not that much less than someone who works in a bank, for example, Danes don’t choose their careers based on money or status as people in other countries do. They choose the job they want to do. There’s a philosophy in Denmark known as “Jante-lov”, which translates as “you’re no better than anybody else.” 【2】 But workers in other countries are not used to looking at life in this way.

Money doesn’t seem as important in Denmark. It has been called a “post consumerist” society. 【3】 What is more important is the sense of society and it’s no surprise that Danes are very used to socializing. 92% of Danes belong to some kind of social club and these clubs are even paid for by the government.

【4】 They also show an amazing amount of trust in each other and their government. You can see sighs of this all over the country. You’ll find vegetable stalls with no assistant. You take what you want and leave the money in a basket. perhaps the bike is a good symbol for Denmark. The Danes can afford cars but they choose bikes—simple, economical, non-polluting machines that show no status and help keep people fit.

A. In a list ranking countries by the happiness of their citizens, it pm tropical Fiji 50 places below freezing Iceland.

B. The street sweeper can hold his head up high as he proudly does his job.

C. Danish people aren’t as suspicious as many other nations.

D. Most Danes are used to seeing between 50-70% of their salary going to the government!

E. Those 5.5 million people who call Denmark their home.

F. People have nice things in their houses, but they’re not mad about shopping and spending.

Anyone who has had a long term illness knows that recovering at home can be lonely. This can be especially true of children. They may feel left out. Now these children may have a high-tech friend to feel less alone. And that friend is a robot. The robot is called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is at home while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk.

A Norwegian company called No isolation created the robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says, from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then they use the same device（設(shè)備）to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child. The child can take part in classroom activities from wherever she/he is recovering-whether at home or from a hospital bed. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras make communicating easy.

【1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “isolated”?

A. to be difficult to deal with B. to be away from

C. to be unhappy or feel sorrow D. to be hopeful

【2】What can we know about AV1?

A. It can go to school on its own. B. It is small and looks like a kid.

C. It can replace children to attend classes. D. It was created by Dolva and Aabel.

【3】How are the movements of AV1 controlled?

A. By using a tablet or phone. B. By joining in classroom activities.

C. Through a small speaker. D. Through a small camera.
