21、Many visitors see a trip to Hawaii, Maui in particular, as a destination only reserved for summers. Those who know this, however, love to visit the island in the fall.

The fall season in Maui is quite possibly the best time of year to visit. It is directly in the middle of the two busiest seasons of the year, namely summer and winter. What does that mean for the visitors who choose to plan their vacations during the fall season? Less lines, less crowds, and the chance to communicate with the locals.

Fall in Maui is the best time to head off to Wailea Beach, where the waters are still warm enough to swim even when the air temperature begins to drop. This is also the perfect time for whale watching as the whales begin to migrate during the fall. Visitors can stand on the beach, and still see the whales moving through the water.

The annual Aloha Festivals in Maui also takes place during the fall season. Aloha

Festivals, once called Aloha Week, was created sixty years ago to celebrate the culture of Hawaii. It starts in early September and runs through the end of October. Canoe enthusiasts also head to Maui every year in the fall, to take part in the annual 41-mile canoe race. People can enjoy the festivities and events, even without taking part in the race itself.

For some travelers, there is no better time to see Maui than in the fall.

【1】What’s the best time to visit Maui according to the text?

A．Spring.

B．Summer.

C．Autumn.

D．Winter.

【2】Visiting Maui in autumn means________.

A．you always have to wait in line

B．it’s too cold to swim in the sea

C．it’s easier to know about the life of the locals

D．there are less fun activities on the beach

【3】What can we learn about Maui from the text?

A．Most travelers choose to visit the island in autumn.

22、Collin was lying on his back when his sister, Mary, came in. From her red eyes, Collin could tell she felt homesick again.

Their family had moved to the Moon nearly four months ago. It still didn’t feel like home. The houses were cosy, but outside everything was gray and rocky and lifeless. There was even no weather there at all—no rain or snow or even wind.

“I miss everything, even the sound of rain on the roof,” Mary said sadly. “Worst of all, my birthday is in two days, and I don’t think Mom and Dad are planning anything special.”

She’s probably right, thought Collin. Life on the Moon was busy for scientists like their parents. He doubted if they had time to plan a party. If there was no party, maybe he could give his sister a gift. However, with limited room in their transport ship, each child had been allowed to bring only two toys from the Earth. Where could he find the gift?

The next day, as Collin wandered toward the agricultural center, he found some bamboo plants, which made good building materials. An idea flashed across his mind. He took a piece of bamboo plants, made tiny holes into it, then poured a handful of Moon cobblestones inside and sealed the open ends.

When it was done, Collin hurried home, holding the bamboo piece carefully. On seeing his sister, Collin said, “I have a present for you.” He handed his sister the bamboo stick. “Happy birthday!”

“What is it?” Mary asked, looking at it curiously.

“A rain stick,” said Collin. “Whenever you turn it over, the Moon cobblestones fall inside and it sounds like rain.”

Mary turned the stick, and the room was filled with a sound like rain drumming on a roof.

“It’s Moon rain!” she said. “It makes me feel like I’m home.” She smiled at Collin and turned the rain stick over again.

【1】According to the text, what do we know about the Moon?

A．Life there is busy.

B．Its weather is changeable.

C．Living space there is limited.

D．Its surroundings are dull.

【2】Why was the bamboo-made rain stick a delight for Mary?

A．It created a rain scene.

B．It was her dream birthday gift.

C．It alleviated her homesickness.

D．It was made of good materials.

【3】Which of the following can best describe Collin?

A．Curious and careful.

B．Caring and skillful.

C．Creative and enthusiastic.

D．Sensitive and knowledgeable.
