24、 gift of love and kindness.What are the beauties of Hawaii? Lets start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, naturally, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. Most of them are covered with fine white sa

25、nd. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing you would notice? They are volcanoes, of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are

26、still growing. The most famous volcano on Hawaii is Mauna Loa. It is the worlds most active volcano. Because Mauna Loa has erupted so often, it has become the biggest (but not the tallest) mountain in the world.What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It

27、 probably wouldnt be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruit and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane and pineapples are Hawaiis biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years and now Hawaii produces over one million tons of sugar a year. As for pineapples

28、, the islands produce more than any other place in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. From its earliest days, Hawaii has had a peaceful history. The Polynesians who came

29、to the islands about a thousand years ago believed that a stranger should be welcomed. They offered strangers food and comfort, and thought of them as brothers. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiia

30、n law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.That is the most

31、 beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of _.A. one islandB. twenty islands.C. sixty-four islands.D. hundreds of islands.27.

33、 on the islands.C. Because they care more for people than anything else.D. Because they can sleep in the middle of the road if they want.30. According to the passage, “above all nations is humanity might mean _.A. nations all share the same humanity.B. humanity has no national boundariesC. nations i

34、n the world all have humanityD. humanity is more important than nationsPassage FourAll over the world, and for many different reasons, there are millions of people who rarely or never eat meat. These people are called vegetarians. To people who eat meat, being a vegetarian may seem like a very stran

35、ge thing, but most vegetarians are very happy with their choice of diet. They chose such diets for several different reasons.First, vegetarians have an enormous health advantage. One of the major health problems in modern societies is not too little protein but too much food, especially in the form

36、of animal fats. Medical evidence suggests that animal fats, including butter, contribute to the development of cholesterol in the human body. High amounts of cholesterol seem to be part of the cause of heart disease. Most vegetarians have low levels of cholesterol. High amounts of animal fats also s

37、eem to lead to certain kinds of cancer, and vegetarians are typically less vulnerable to these cancers than people who eat a lot of meat. Overall, studies comparing the health of vegetarians and meat-eaters show that the meat-eaters are twice as likely to die of heart disease as vegetarians are.Bett

38、er health is one reason that people choose to become vegetarians. Another reason is religion. Some religions forbid the eating of meat. The largest of these is the Hindu religion, which has about 600 million believers in the world. Although not all Hindus are vegetarian, many are, and there are many

39、 believers of other religions such Buddhism and even some Christian religions who also do not eat meat.Many vegetarians do not eat meat simply because they do not like the taste of it. They have no religious or philosophical reasons; they just do not like meat. Another important reason that vegetari

40、ans give for not eating meat is the health advantages that were given above. Lastly, there are many people who do not eat meat because they just do not like the idea of killing animals for food. They believe that life, all life, is valuable, and that we do not have to destroy life to feed ourselves
