But with so many destinations to choose from, deciding where to go can be a bit difficult. Luckily, the experts have done the hard work for you by collecting the top places to visit in 2017.‎ ‎1. ‎Bocas del Toro‎, ‎Panama You’ll feel like you’re in Bali rather than Central America in this island that’s just a one-hour flight away from Panama City. The area is “home to some of the purest natural beauty in Latin America , with dense（茂密的）tropical rain forests, wide savannas（草原）, coral reefs bursting with aquatic （水产的）life, and delightfully deserted beaches.”‎ ‎2. ‎Guadalajara‎, ‎Mexico This Mexico city is less about the ocean and sand and more about the architecture, music and art scene. Jazz music fills the area while murals by greats like José Clemente Orozco hang in local buildings.‎ ‎3. ‎Lille‎, ‎France We all know Paris is about fashion and design, but located just a couple hours away by car,‎ ‎ another charming town is making its mark on the industry. There's a modern art museum and the city "supports emerging fashion designers by providing them with retail space and business mentorship."‎ ‎4. ‎Hangzhou‎, ‎China As one of the wealthiest cities in China, this metropolis is home to luxury hotels, an eatery from chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and remarkable architecture. The hyper-modern feel is balanced out well with the natural beauty of West Lake, making it an ideal destination that suits a variety of traveler needs.‎ ‎5. ‎Douro Valley‎, ‎Portugal Forget Napa Valley, Douro Valley was actually the world's first officially designated wine region and still holds on strong to its roots. A visit here is filled with rolling hills and numerous wineries serving up some sensational sips.‎ ‎21. Where will you go if you want to explore the rain forests?‎ A. ‎Guadalajara‎, ‎Mexico B. ‎Bocas del Toro‎, ‎Panama C. ‎Lille‎, ‎France D. ‎Douro Valley‎, ‎Portugal ‎22.

Which part if a newspaper is this passage probably taken from?‎ A. History B. Geography C. Culture D. Travel B Nowadays the U.S.‎ students are sleepy in school because they spend too much time texting, playing video games, watching TV and using the media in other ways.‎ ‎“Heavy media use interferes with sleep by reducing sleep duration, making it harder to fall asleep, and lowering sleep quality,” Meilan Zhang, an assistant professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, wrote in her research review in the journal, Sleep Medicine.‎ ‎“But the relationship between youth’s media use and sleep is not so simple”, said Michael Gradisar, who authored both that review and the Sleep Medicine meta-analysis. “Technology use is the new evidence when we are trying to answer ‘Why are school-age children sleeping less?’”‎ ‎“There may be safe limits to technology use”, Mr. Gradisar stated. “For example, recent research results indicate that using a bright screen for an hour before bed or even playing violent video games for less than that will not necessarily interfere with teenagers’ sleep.”‎ ‎“But longer periods of usage can be harmful to sleep,” Mr. Gradisar added. “Rather than delaying school start times, he said, the first step should be educating parents about limiting the hours that their children are using technology before bed, and enforcing a consistent bedtime.”‎ Early school start times are also commonly blamed for students’ sleepiness, especially for adolescents. Secondary schools around the nation and the world have been delaying start times, often with positive results.‎ Mr. Minnich of the TIMSS and PIRLS center hesitated to “attribute blame to any particular factor”. But he did think that cost-saving measures to consolidate bus routes might help explain U.S.‎ students’ sleepiness.‎ ‎“For those children who board the bus first, they must get up earlier, may end up sleeping on the way to school, and may end up arriving at school sleepy.” he said.‎ ‎25. According to Meilan Zhang, .‎ A. students are good at using media B. students’ sleep are affected by media C. students use media during sleeping D. students suffer from technology badly ‎26. Which of the following may be the good way to help kids sleep better?‎ A. Parents should be well educated.‎ B. Technology is forbidden at home.‎ C. They are allowed to go to school early.‎ D. Their playing time must be limited.‎ ‎27.
