Plan your dream vacation to one of these excellent destinations.
St. Lucia
Abundant（丰富的） rainforests and splendid mountains are all reasons to visit this Caribbean island. St. Lucia offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. To take in the breathtaking scenery, plan to hike the Piton Mountains or dive in the waters of Anse Chastanet.
Banff. Alberta
This Canadian destination will bring out the explorer in anyone who visits. From hiking and whitewater rafting to skiing and snowboarding, Banff offers travelers an abundance of year-round outdoor activities. The Lake Louise Ski Resort is one of the largest in North America and the striking photo opportunities of the Canadian Rockies from Moraine Lake can’t be underestimated (低估).
Machu Picchu
According to travelers, a visit to this Peruvian UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) site is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Located in the Andes Mountains, it is the most familiar icon (象征物) of Inca civilization. Spend a few days accustoming yourself to the altitude in the neighboring city of Cusco, where you can experience a mix of Incan and Spanish cultures.
Great Barrier Reef
It’s easy to see why the Great Barrier Reef is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World – it stretches nearly 1,500 miles along the eastern coastline of Australia and features about 3,000 reefs, 900 islands and more than 1,500 species of fish. Travelers can see these amazing natural structures from the air or underwater. However, large amounts of coral bleaching (褪色) caused by rising ocean temperatures put this place’s continued existence at risk, so plan your visit soon to see this awesome sight up close.

Yesterday I was caught in heavy storm in the street. I got wet all over. With a taxi come, I raised my hand, and the driver asks me to get in quickly. I thought he would overcharge me, but I hesitated. He smiled and said he won’t charge much than usual. As the rain had become heavier, I had to get into the taxi. Fifteen minutes late, I arrived at my house. But shortly after I went in, I realized I didn’t have my case. Just as I was beginning to feel anxiously, I heard of someone knocking on the door. To my great surprise, it was the taxi driver with my case in her hand. I was so excited that I couldn’t say something before he drove away.

Do you struggle to say no? If you can’t ever say no to anybody, then your relationships are not healthy.
1.. Imagine that you are a confident person who marries a very aggressive person. You love your partner very much, so when he or she suggests that you both move to an isolated (偏远的) island, you say yes.
Then you spend ten years on the island with your partner and you don’t see anybody else. 2., shouting at you and calling you stupid. You try to change your behaviour to avoid getting shouted at, so after a while you never do anything that you want to do. 3.. After ten years you return to the mainland. You are no longer a confident person because you have forgotten how to be yourself.
That is how our relationships with others can shape who we are in a bad way. Does this sound like you?
4.. An aggressive person uses dominating(专横的) behaviour to get what he or she wants without thinking of others. An assertive person is someone who is able to say what they want but also respect what others want. You could say that being assertive is about being true to yourself and who you are.
But being assertive doesn’t mean that you have to say what you want all the time. 5., you don’t have to stop in order to be true to yourself. Maybe your truth is that you are happy to sometimes do things you dislike if doing them helps other people.
A.You partner is very aggressive
B.Relationships shape who we are
C.Learning to deal with different relationships is important
D.Being assertive(坚定自信的) is not the same as being aggressive
E.Your entire life is about avoiding being shouted at
F.You often feel depressed because of her aggressive behavior
G.For example, if you strongly dislike playing chess every week with your recently divorced friend
