Edward’s Travel Tips
What kind of place do you usually choose to stay for the night during a trip? Expensive hotels that may make you feel like you don’t get what you pay for? Or cheap hostels that put you and five other strangers in the same bedroom? If both choices sound terrible to you, here’s something new: holiday apartments.
In a holiday apartment, you have more space than what a hotel room can give you. Everything in the apartment is at your disposal. The living room, the kitchen, the study, and, of course, the bedrooms are all for your own use. Some apartments even have a lovely garden or a game room. You’ll feel at home in the holiday apartment. The best thing is, a holiday apartment is not expensive. The price for a holiday apartment is for two people, and the apartment is often cheaper than a hotel room for two. You only need to pay a little more for a third or fourth person. If you travel with friends or your family, a holiday apartment will be your best choice!

(B) How to choose a nice holiday apartment.
(C) Why one should choose a holiday apartment.

The sky is turning bright and clear.
The earth is wearing red and green.
Winter is gone; spring has come.
The air smells fresh and sweet.
The summer heat is not yet here;
A little fox comes out to play.
A bird is busy in a tree
Waking a daisy from her sleep.
Little daisy, little daisy,
People call the flower the “day’s eye.”
When she opens her eye,
The springtime brings us cheer.

27.
(A) Spring.
(B) Summer.
(C) Autumn.
(D) Winter.

When we get wet, we need a towel to get ourselves dry. When a dog gets wet, all it needs is to shake its body. A study in 2010 showed that a wet dog can throw off half the water on its body by shaking for less than a second. In fact, this common act of dogs works better than a washing machine.
The study found that animal shaking begins with the head and ends with the tail. During a shake, the animal’s head, body and skin all move. Smaller animals must shake faster than bigger animals to get water off. For example, in one second, a rat can shake 18 times, a dog 6 times, and a bear 4 times. Bigger animals can get their bodies dry with fewer shakes.
For animals, shaking is not just about getting themselves dry. It is also about saving their lives. Being wet makes animals heavier, and that makes it harder to run. In the animal world, how fast an animal can run often decides whether it will live or not. Maybe that’s why the “wet-dog shake” has become a common habit of many animals.

29.
(A) Different animals’ shaking begins with different body parts.
(B) Shaking is a way that animals use to make other animals scared.
(C) Animals that are not kept as pets do the shaking better than those that are.
(D) Shaking themselves dry may help animals run faster in dangerous moments.
