Seeing the world is a surefire way to enrich your life and learn. These spots might be more physically challenging or tougher on your schedule. From urban hiking in South America to bar hopping in Europe, here are the 30 best destinations for young people and what they have to offer.

Mumbai，India

Few countries are as colorful as India, characteristics perfectly embodied in its annual spring festival of love: Holi. The 16-day Hindu holiday celebrates new beginnings and the divine love between Hindu gods Radha and Krishna. Beyond this incredible festival，Mumbai is teeming with life. See the Gateway of India on the Arabian Sea, visit ancient temples，and make your way to nearby Elephant Island to explore its hand-carved caves adorned with Hindu gods.

Ibiza，Spain

Pretty much any place in Spain is guaranteed to keep club-seeking travelers up until dawn，but Ibiza, one of the country's Mediterranean islands, has taken that phenomenon to a whole new level. From June until October, Ibiza is hustling with European tourists seeking a party and music-festival playground. Go in September, toward the tail end of peak season to avoid the region's sweltering August weather, while still catching end-of-summer celebrations.

Western Cape, South Africa

South Africa is an adventure traveler's paradise. No South African vacation is complete without a savanna safari; but if you're on the country's Western Cape，you also won't want to miss Bloukrans Bridge bungee jumping. Recognized at the world's highest bungee-jumping bridge，visitors can plummet 709 feet to the Bloukrans River below, if they dare.

Havana，Cuba

Sunny Cuba is a new world of travel for most Americans, and what it lacks in technology and amenities is made up for in its rich culture，cuisine，vintage cars, history，and of course-baseball. Stroll Old Havana and catch a local game，eat authentic pressed Cuban sandwiches, and check out any of the city's many museums or churches.

21、What can we learn from this passage?

A、Ancient temples and churches are the must if you visit India.

B、Ibiza doesn't have the phenomenon for club-seeking travelers.

C、Without visiting a safari，your South African holiday isn't wonderful enough.

D、Americans tend to visit Cuba due to its high technology.

22、What do the four destinations have in common?

A、They are all suitable for young people.

B、You can enjoy adventure in these four places.

C、The best time to visit them is September.

D、They are famous for their rich culture and long history.

23、What will the author write about in the following part?

A、What Cuba has to offer. B、Other best destinations in the world.

C、Other destinations among the 30 best. D、A local game in Havana.

BEIJING一China's ruling Communist Party announced Thursday that the country will start allowing all couples to have two children，abolishing the policy that limited many urban couples to only one child for more than three decades.

A communiqué from the party's Central Committee said that the decision to allow all couples to have two children was "to improve the balanced development of population" and to deal with an aging population.

China，which has the world's largest population at 1.4 billion people，introduced the one-child policy in 1979 as a temporary measure to curb a then-surging population and limit the demands for water and other resources. Soon after it was implemented，rural couples were allowed two children if their firstborn was a girl. Ethnic minorities are also allowed more than one child.

Couples who have broken the rules were forced to pay a fee in proportion to their income. In some cases，rural families saw their livelihood in the form of their pigs and chickens taken away.

In November 2013，the party announced that it would allow couples to have two children if one of the parents is a single child，the first substantial easing of the policy in nearly three decades.

The government credits the one-child policy with preventing 400 million births and helping lift countless families out of poverty by easing the strain on the country's limited resources. But many demographers argue the birthrate would have fallen anyway as China's economy developed and education levels rose.

Moreover, the abrupt fall in the birthrate has pushed up the average age of the population and demographers foresee a looming crisis because the policy reduced the young labor pool that must support the large baby boom generation as it retires.

“The good news is, it is here. The bad news is，it is too little too late,” said Cai Yong，a sociology professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

24. Where can you most probably read this article?

A. In a magazine B. In a newspaper C. In a social report D. on the internet

25. Which is NOT the reason for the new policy?

A. To make the development of population balanced.

B. To deal with an aging population

C. To help countless families out of poverty.

D. To increase the young labor pool

26. What's the public attitude towards the new policy according to what Cai Yong said?

A. They welcome the long-waited policy.

B. In spite of the new policy .many still don't want to give birth to babies.

C. It is really a dilemma for many people.

D. Better late than never.

27. What is the best title of this passage?

A. China Ends Controversial One-Child Policy B. Good News or Bad News

C. Falling Birthrate and Rising Economy D. China's Reform for Three Decades

Do you recognize this man? If so Atlanta's Omni Hotel at CNN Center would like to have a word with you.

The man, believed to be named Josh Crabber .found a guest's wallet in a garbage can while looking for food. Instead of using the credit cards to his benefit, Crabber，who is thought to be homeless，went to several hotels in search of the wallet's owner, eventually returning it to the Omni Hotel. According to the Associated Press，the wallet's owner had been robbed earlier that day，and the thieves made off with her entire wallet, apparently discarding(丢弃)the contents in a garbage can nearby.

As a thank-you for Crabber's noble deed，the hotel wants to return the favor.“Every person has a story，and this person obviously has a story and did the right thing by bringing the wallet to try to find its owner,”the hotel's managing director, Scott Stuckey，told Atlanta's WSB-TV.“When you're looking for food in the garbage can，it's probably one of the toughest times of your life. But when you find somebody's wallet and you do the right thing, I think we'd like to do the right thing by this person.”Stuckey told the station they'd like to give the man US $500 for his efforts, in addition to putting him up in a room for Thanksgiving, with dinner and room service the n
