Australian coastal towns boast diverse landscapes, from golden beaches to rough cliffs. Each carries a unique charm shaped by local history and natural surroundings, offering far more than just seaside views.
Byron Bay, New South Wales
Byron Bay is famous as Australia’s easternmost point. Early risers gather at Cape Byron Lighthouse to watch the first sunrise in the country. The town’s main beach is perfect for surfing, even for beginners. Along Jonson Street, you’ll find cozy cafes serving fresh local seafood and local coffee. Don’t miss the weekly Byron Community Market, where craftsmen sell delicate handmade jewelry and souvenirs.
Port Douglas, Queensland
Located between the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest, Port Douglas is nature lover’s paradise. The Four Mile Beach, with its soft sand and calm waters, is ideal for swimming. Every Saturday morning, the Port Douglas Market showcases tropical fruits like mangoes. Many visitors take day trips from here to explore the colorful coral reefs by diving.
Lorne, Victoria
Lorne sits along the iconic Great Ocean Road. The town is noted for its scenic coastal drives and 30-meter waterfall Erskine Falls. A short drive from the town center. In the evening, seafood restaurants along the foreshore serve fresh oysters and grilled shellfish.
Busselton, Western Australia
Busselton’s claim to fame is its 1.8-kilometer-long dock - the longest wooden dock in the Southern Hemisphere. Visitors can walk along the dock or take a small train to its end, where an underwater observatory lets you see colorful fish and coral reefs without getting wet.

I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo, Paris for 11 years. Spot and Strip are the first tiger cubs that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don’t make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock at home.
I’ve got two children - the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving - but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn’t worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were weighed about 2.5kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk.
As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they’d get up to mischief. We’d come down in the morning to find they’d turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.
Things quickly got intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough and just felt extremely blessed gratefully that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors.
When Spot and Strip were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren’t there.
I’m not sad about it. I’m hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time when we had them.
4. Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home
A. To ensure their survival. B. To observe their differences.
C. To teach them life skills. D. To let them play with his kids.
5. What happened when the cubs were left free at night
A. They learned to open doors. B. They made the house messy.
C. They fought with each other. D. They stayed quiet and slept.
6. What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home
A. Boring. B. Tiring. C. Costly. D. Risky.
7. Why did the author decide to send Spot and Strip back to the zoo
A. They frightened the children. B. They became difficult to contain.
C. They annoyed the neighbours. D. They started fighting each other.
C
Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical road map addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming revolution.
In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code that powers AI, but thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience turning difficult ideas into simple ones. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of narrow-AI to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now - several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it’s essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even upset.
Campbell’s point is to make those responsible for AI - the technology companies and world leaders- so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must now act to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider now what we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than their downfall.
AI will affect all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.
8. what is the book mainly intended to do
A. Show AI’s great potential.
B. Offer a practical action plan.
C. Predict the coming AI age.
D. Describe AI’s fast growth.
9. What is a feature of the book(AI by Design) according to the text
A. It is packed with complex codes.
B. It adopts a practical writing style.
C. It provides step-by-step instructions.
D. It is intended for AI professionals.
10. What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development
A. Observe existing regulations on it.
B. Reconsider expert opinions about it.
C. Make joint efforts to keep it under control.
D. Learn from prior experience to slow it down.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To recommend a book.
B. To give a brief account of AI history.
C. To clarify the definition of AI.
D. To honor an outstanding AI expert.
D
We live in an age filled with massive information, in which it seems strange that people often make an effort to avoid learning certain things. Whether it is missing a necessary follow-up medical checkup or choosing not to read upsetting news reports, we have a term for this behavior: the “Ostrich Effect”, just like the animal hiding its head in the sand. Researchers wanted to find out when and why this phenomenon takes place.
In one experiment, kids between the ages of 5 and 10 were asked to picture their most-liked and least-liked sweets. Then they faced a choice: Would they be willing to watch a video explaining whether the information was harmful to their teeth Five-and six-year-olds were eager to know the truth, however, they hesitated. They were far less willing to learn about the disadvantages of their favorite snacks.
Why do children change from brave learners to intentional information avoiders The answer is connected with emotions. Information is never fully neutral - it often influences how we feel. News related to our habits or beliefs can cause feelings of disappointment, worry or embarrassment. By staying away from certain knowledge, people protect themselves, at least temporarily, from unpleasant feelings.
Avoiding uncomfortable feelings can be protective in the short run, but when avoidance becomes a habit, the disadvantages may be greater than the advantages. On a personal level, such avoidance may put important health information may put one’s well-being at risk. On a social level, refusing to accept entrenched political division(分歧) and fixed opinions. When people purposely ignore opinions that go against their own ideas, they miss chances to grow, understand others and build connections.
At its heart, the Ostrich Effect shows a very human condition. We are naturally curious, but we are also emotionally weak. We want to understand the world, but we are afraid of what understanding may bring. This inner conflict influences our choices every single day. That is why researchers emphasize the importance of teaching children not only to welcome curiosity, but also to build mental resilience(韧性), which help them seize the chance to learn, adjust and achieve success.
12. Which of the following shows the“Ostrich Effect”
A. A girl actively asks teachers for advice on studying.
B. A programmer buries himself in daily work and data analysis.
C. A student refuses to take part in outdoor activities.
D. A woman turns a blind eye to her credit card bills.
13. Why does the“Ostrich Effect” occur
A. It helps people stay secured.
B. It keeps us from feeling bad.
C. It makes people think independently.
D. It improves problem-solving skills.
14. What does the underlined word“entrench” in paragraph 4 mean
A. expose B. remove C. deepen D. transform
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The Ostrich Effect helps avoid short-term pain.
B. Children’s curiosity disappears as they grow.
C. Avoiding information brings more harm than good.
D. The Ostrich Effect and the way to deal with it.
